Heh the teasing.

Drama is still pretty evident as Momo deals with his perosnal demons. Nino's skills are put to test as she introduces herself to the other judges. God I wish she sung a different song besides Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Nino makes a scene in front of everyone...yikes.

So Momo started to work as a composer to pay his father's debt. Wow, so he already gave up on meeting the girl. He also changed his name and said not going to appear in front of people.

Main girl still needs lots of practice... Also new outfit.

Showing a bit of the memory when Momo's family left. It seems like his mother is using him... The truth behind him not wanting to meet her.

Audition day. He originally didn't plan to show up, but he did. Their memory song cannot bear him. He left her cruel word.

Ep.1 syndrome again at the band performance. A different song was used https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf8nepdytkQ. (Wished this was used instead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paS5J8hyAYc) Momo said on TV.

So Momo used the songs he wrote for Nino for money. He even said she failed at the audition. But that didn't stop her from trying harder.

This episode was quite something, really good one at that.

We finally get to see Momo's side of things, I've been wanting to learn his story since episode 2 and I'm glad we got it. :)
So Momo doesn't want to sing with Nino because he feels ashamed for having used the songs he wrote for her to make money. In fact he feels he writes for money and not because he wants too and that makes me feel bad for him. The part where he said he didn't know how to write songs for Nino anymore was really sad. :(
Momo's mom sucks big time.

I'm glad Momo decided to sit on Alice's audition but he was definitely quite harsh on her. :(

In No Hurry performance was great and Momo's shock on seeing it was nice, maybe he'll finally be able to write songs for Nino again. At least I hope so.

I found the audition very unpleasant to watch and not just because Nino sang "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" again. The following drama on the other hand was more to my liking, even though Nino shouting Momos name was cringey(I hate that word, but I can't think of anything better) again :S

The performance at the end was quite decent. Overall solid episode, it was nice to get some insight from Momos perspective.

Toot Toot. Weeabbboooo here~! (Also haven't read the Manga)

Oh lordly lord.. Momo has some intense angst... (Also all I hear is Tsukishima when he speaks...This guy is just Tsukishima without Volleyball...)



Protect my smol son thou.



Also.. savage... savage drummer.... (but cute) ahahaha....



WHEN SHE STARTED SINGING THIS I WAS READY TO THROW SOMETHING. DAMNIT MAN...... -RANDOM SQUARKS...

Nino bby pls you're killing me and Momo over here... we cannot handle the angst...



*Random dying sounds and choked sobs*

Momo you're a boob sometimes but also.. feels... I don't know if I want to punch you or hug you damnit... Please either be an ass or be ansty but stop being both because I have so much mixed feelings for you.



Yuzu. Yuzu is my favourite.... he's short and precious and is Izuku... I just hear Izuku....

He's a cute lil Tsudork... :') He's adorable! I just need him to be happy.



And Momo... rude? :') You don't call the girl you're in denial about liking, a monster.

But damn son she can go berserk... but generally looks amazing in that outfit.

Wow the was an emotional episode! I never thought the slow monotonous backstory would play out to give the characters in this anime such depth but that's exactly what happened in this episode! Momo has a weight on his back holding him down and preventing him from coming to grips with his true feelings for Nino and Nino is fighting the emotions welling up inside her then you've got poor Yuzu who is a bystander to the conflict between Momo and Nino but is entangled in his own struggle to reach Nino with his feelings. None of this is new information but it finally feels real in this episode...I can feel the struggles of the characters and the emotional battle resonates in a way it hasn't before in this anime! When Nino sang at the orientation I didn't have any emotional response to her losing control and singing with a passion because the character was still a mystery that had not yet been fully explored BUT NOW I felt a deep emotional connection to her performance on stage with in NO Hurry and it looks like Momo did too! Can't wait to see how the follow this episode up next week!
I shall rule over the realms of anime and manga! Mwahhahahahaha!!!

Alice's sing-screams are awesome, especially her scream at the beginning. Just her head and arm movement get kind of weird to watch after a while... The costumes are great though. I love the music in this series!

The animation quality seemed to have dropped a lot in the episode though... there seemed to be even more deformed faces/unproportional bodies than in the earlier episodes.

A nice Momo heavy episode. I wanted to know more about him so it was nice. His parents suck, absolutely suck. Guessing the only reason why he did all this was to possibly see Nino again? His whole struggle within himself is probably one of the more interesting things about the show so far.

Plus, the show seems better with the more blatant comic relief. It doesn't feel too heavy like the first 2 episodes.

Wow, the live performance rocks!! Wish I can hear a version without dialogue.

I've been thinking this for awhile now, but this one had me convinced that In No Hurry is better with berserk mode Nino than the normal bland sounding Nino. The band thrives in it, everything sounds much more alive.

No doubt, Momo had notice that too hence his big reaction to call Nino a monster.

See I get momo's side of things but still cant come to like him much, including after how he reacted during the audition. Yes Nino was singing their child hood song but he only said she fail because it drove to past up and he didnt like that. Kind of a dick move really on his part though twinkle twinkle little star was a cringey song to being with. Love the way Nino then shoves it in his face at the end when he sees her on tv. Was great the face he made when he realized what he basically created without actaully realizing it. I would much perfer Nino and Yuzu ending up together but at this point who knows. Including with the dialogue at the end it sounded like Yuzu and his regret probably hinting toward momo and Nino probably reconnecting but then again who knows. Good episode cant wait for more.

Finally, things are moving along in a good direction! I am glad we got to know more about Momo's backstory. His actions towards Nino make much more sense.

No, really, stop that, it is annoying af.
YUZU IS BEST GUY AND THIS IS GOING TO BE SO FRUSTRATING Ç-Ç
Momo is kinda meh, too angst for my tastes

I...
don't really like Nino's voice. It is...bad...I suppose it is going to be like this and then get better...? I can see the potencial tho.
(When she screamed "MORE" it was so much better than her singing voice)

Good idea! I will have a shot or two until I don't mind anymore XD
I'm not a fan of her voice either, especially when she sings Twinkle Twinkle and before that lalalalala. I was ok with it once or twice but I think they abused of it a little too much.

Maybe because its Shoujo and has Romance tags in it.Shoujo in particular is somewhat predictable and most people tend to avoid it.

What a horrible Mom.
So he is tone deaf huh?That's why his voice is not really good

Again with the Twinkle Twinkle Star.Although it is slightly better compared to the past episodes ,i wish this is the last time we hear it, though from the looks of it,we will still hear it in the future episodes :(

What a dick move, Momo.

Love the glare that Nino made while performing in the TV.It just basically screams of "Suck this, Asshole!"

I totally agree: poor Momo, carrying that heavy burden all to himself over his parent's mistake: using his greatest treasure he loved with all his heart as a duty ( no longer his passion) only for the sake of money to pay out his parent's debt. I have to say, Momo has a tragic life after he moved away: getting up or should I say, sacrificing everything he desires: his dreams and promises he made with Nino by carrying on a path only he suffers alone ( and he doesn''t want Nino to see the person he has become) that's the main reason why he doesn't want Nino to see him.

When Momo heard Nino singing that song they both sang together as children was a reminder of the past where he was happy and full of joy: now Momo believes that he can't grant that happiness they both shared: he said those cruel words just to cut ties with her, but deep down, it's only hurting him more and more by saying things he doesn't mean it: so much that he was crying alone): it was very emotional seeing how hurt both Nino and Momo feel where Nino only wants to bring the promise they both made and Momo believes he doesn't deserve to be happy anymore: I got very sentimental when I saw the part of the episode: I kept saying, why Momo, why you must give up your happiness over something it was never your fault- his parent's greatest mistake is what drive him to become distant from the things and the person he loves: it's so sad. T_T
To me, Momo is my favorite character and it's too bad we hard see him: every time I see him, I always get curious to know more about his character. It's nice to see a fan like you who also sees Momo as one promising character: most fans say bad things about him which it's sad really: but then again, it's all matter of opinion I suppose.

She sang her heart out! Thats our nino!!! Way to Go ! 👏🏻👏🏻😘 Great ep 👍🏻
Awesome performance! CANARY Indeed!!! Perfect namn 👏🏻 Chills!

I dont think Nino is the one went beserk! I think it's was momo! With this episode I do get his story more now and that he feels ashamed to show himself for Nino! Also it's very frustrating how he did everything for his family yet is so heartless and ungrateful! Who bullies their kids dreams so what he's a bit tone deaf? I would still be proud of a person like him! 😤 But Momo you still need to work on his mind! Not cool man, at this point he's not only self harming himself but Nino along with him! Such a tusendare!😞

Gosh it's feels like everybody is hurting in this show! Love how they make you feel connected to every character yet confused 😵 since you don't who to root for cause efterone has their reasons!
Gotta give to our honey Nino but still rooting for Yuzu too.

Btw!! Does anyone else really digg the ending song? Aw that guitar solo 😍 My favourite! Kinda reflect the show for me! ❤️❤️

I'm very pleased with the episode, it looks like the story is finally taking off in the right way, and I'm curious to know what's going to happen to Nino in the future. This Nana-like comments at the end of the episodes always leave me wanting more, so I do hope we'll get too see the whole story in the end (unlike Nana T.T). It was nice to finally see things from Momo's point of view, I liked learning the reason behind his behaviour, it was also touching when he said he doesn't know anymore how to write songs for her. I am growing more and more eager with every episode to see Momo and Yuzu relationship develop and then the moment of disclosure.

Great episode
Even if I know now the backstory of Momo I can't get to like him LIKE THIS ISN'T A REASON TO ACT LIKE A JERK
The scene of Yuzu and Nino hugging each other was so heartwarming
Wished Brain's base kept that line of Yuzu at that moment
The animation was bad in this episode :(
The song was so good Glad that this anime has a good soundtrack
Nino is stupid after what Momo said to her she should not think of him when you made that face say something like "you'll regret that decision" instead of "I'll make you look my way" this is so pathetic
I cringed so much when she sang twinkle twinkle little star UGGGGGGGHHHHH LIKE PLEASE STOP ENOUGH OF THAT TRASH

Her lala is really annoying! I hope not every episode will be like this from now on. It's like she can't sing anything else but lala and twinkle little star. Smh...
I do like this anime it's going good just hope they pick a different song for her to sing like the opening.

Welp, the audition was absolutely horrible singing wise. I did like episode a lot overall though, story wise. It is nice to see more of Momo's side of things. Her voice did pleasantly surprise me during Canary. I hope her singing gets even better as the story progresses.

Just finished the episode and needed some space to vent out lol

So a songwriter that couldn't sing after losing his voice… and then another songwriter who was actually tone deaf hence unable to sing. Oh god I don't know how to cope with the drama but let's make use of the emotional masochism.

I'm a musician myself so it was like… Ohhh. I thought Momo was doing a second voice in the young age backstory― turns out it was tone deafness. Gosh. finally makes sense.

Loving their songs, they're majority in a heavy rock G-major with unconventional chords. How lovely.
