| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Cool, we got to see a bit of Futaba performing and a bit of performance from Kaoruko too. I like how this series experiments with different characters that some epiosdes really feel quite unique compared to others. The story of that performance seems similar to others in terms of the style but looked great with the theatrics. Pretty entertaining episode! |
 |
| I fall more in love with this series with every episode I watch, really. The episode focused on Futaba and Kaoruko, it's nice to see their relationship and that they also have importance to the series. Something I really appreciate in this series is that every character gets her time to be important, it's not just Hikari and Karen. The animation is incredible as always, also some good art direction at the start of the episode. 4.5/5 I want the soundtrack so badly. |

| ++want the OST so badly... 5 days left for 22nd august D: |
| this is so fucking sexy god do i love a good all cute/sexy girls, NO GUY IN SIGHT anime |
  |
| I loved that the show explored the characters beyond Hikari, Mahiru and Karen as I wanted to get to know some supports to, and we got that in Futaba and Kaoruko. It wasn't my favorite episode from the show but it is a very good one. Pretty entertaining stuff throughout. |
| THE. OST. WAS. GOD. TIER. |
The negative effects of my long life as a shut-in are kicking in now? |
| Having read the prequel manga, for a moment I was thinking "wait, didn't we already have a episode around these two" lol. This touched on different conflicts than the manga anyway and it works well. Even tho I have heard they are having production issues, the revues still look pretty great for the most part. It's just like Kaoruko to fake cutting off her cape (or whatever tf it is) to get a reaction out of Futaba. |
| Pointless metaphor. and.. will this thing end with the whole fight being the play the 99th class play that they have been auditioning? They do mention that they want to try... different approaches. Character-wise, the conclusion of this episode basically destroys all buildup Futaba had as a character in past 5 episodes. Although at the least it does open room for the story to give her a more... honest buildup. |
| Kaoruko being cute... I just noticed that Futaba went from bicycle to motorcycle... Tap dancing? That's rare... Kaoruko is getting cucked. She probably deserves it though since she's so full of herself... Did Nana just take a picture of Kaoruko crying on the porch? That's brutal... Junna ricocheting her arrow to knock off Kaoruko's medal? I call bullshit! SPOILED! Revue of Promise....and the soundtrack is mixing traditional Japanese with modern pop?  I loved the Japanese aesthetic, but the choreography could have been better... I expected Futaba to win. Oh well. They could have done better with the drama here. Futaba should have gone all out and call out Kaoruko for being such a baby and being so full of herself. There are two steps to becoming the best. 1. Git gud. 2. After you git gud, you git gudder. |
 |
| I found Kaoruko to be quite obnoxious this episode. But other than that, I like the show. |
  Crying doesn't mean you're weak. Enduring doesn't mean you're strong. |
| The point of the revue wasn't to develop Futaba, she was already working hard throughout the episode to get better, instead it was for Kaoruko to change, which they gave a small glimpse of by showing her be the first person to wake up the next day even tho the last 5 episodes Kaoruko never ever woke up period. (I think there was better ways to show it but w/e) "Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard" quote is true for the most part, but they showed the realistic part of it not being as easy as it sounds at all, Futaba coming from being the 30th in terms of talent in their class vs Kaoruko coming from a dancing household is not as easy as "work hard and you'll be better", or at least what I think. |
| Superb OST for this series Anyway this couple is gone too far than the main one :) |
Glasses girls is the best girls. |
| At least Mahiru got a hug from Karen but she's straight now 😞😞😞 sad lyf |
| Good episode, Kaoruko and Futaba are definitely better together. I like the similarities in Futaba and Claudine when it comes to having someone stronger than them that they look for, no wonder they ended up getting closer and training together. Next episode should be focused on Banana, hype! BatWeeb said: What are the best subs for this anime? I've been putting up with the crap that HorribleSubs puts out but it's just not doing it for me. Should I go with ACSS, Chyuu-PAS or StarlightSubs? I haven't tried the others, but I use the Chyuu-PAS subs and they are really good, they come out later than the rest tho. |
 |
| I don't know if I want to know more about the giraffe, or if I want the whole thing to remain a mystery lol |

| This episode is centred around 2 girls Kaoruko & Futaba...these two always blabber with each other! 4/5. BatWeeb said: MetaThPr4h said: I haven't tried the others, but I use the Chyuu-PAS subs and they are really good, they come out later than the rest tho. Eh, I don't mind waiting a bit more for better quality subs. Thanks for the tip. only difference is I would add +1 to ACSS because their OP & ED has styled kfx subs which is an added effort on their end... |

| Music in this anime is just spectacular! Also, really nice backstory in this episode. I hope that Kaoruko and Futaba will have fun in Kyoto. |
| More character development. I don't like this episode so much. Basically, Kaoruko is being mean for no reason. I don't like it. At least the battle was good. |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本 |
| Ugh so childish, Futaba clearly deserves better. I didn't expect Kaoruko to have such attitude. So Futaba is a traitor because she didn't decided to stay at your poor level... sigh* Being honest, this was my least favorite episode. Although the performances were great as usual and the OST is superb, the devopment for Futaba's character was kind of bad... or to say it better, it kind of ruined it... I mean, I was expecting a better motivation. Basically, she's taking part in the auditions only because of Kaoruko and Kaoruko mostly the same, she's participating to fulfill Futaba's expectations of her. I don't know whether I like this conclusion or not. This means Futaba is okay with the idea of just being Kaoruko's partner instead of thinking she's good enough to reach the top by herself. And not to mention that in the end, Kaoruko, who doesn't take practices seriously, won over her... Yeah, I didn't like that, to be honest. Most probably is that I'm just overthinking it but yeah, the episode conclusion was kind of bewildering. P.S.: As an aside note, I liked that both Claudine and Tendou actually helps their classmates instead of taking advantage of the situation. It's nice. |
| Futaba and Kaoruko are a great pair! |
 |
| Well this sure was quite the interesting episode once again, loved the ending! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| really loved how they handled things in this ep compared to last ep with that said am loving this series so much |
| "one step at a time" |
| I prefer Futaba over Kaoruko but that battle was nice. Nice character development. Now Kaoruko gets ready even with helmet on first thing in the morning. |
| Horrible pointless jealousy crisis, Kaoruko is such a bad character, Futaba too. |
 |
| Futaba and Kaoruko are the best |
| I was hoping for Futaba to defeat Kaoroku since she was definitely on the wrong, but the shows seems to like their unequal relationship. I dunno which episode has been worse, this one or the previous one. |
 |
| I like their relationship but it's definitely unequal. I was hoping for a win for Futuba, along with a change in Kaoroku. That would've been better in my opinion. |
| First bad episode of this show, with the resolution feeling wholly undeserved as the lazy, selfish Kaoruko gets to have her cake, eat it too and then some. She didn't want to quit, only tried to leave to kick up a fuss and make Futaba care about her over Claudine again; the fact that she got what she wanted feels wrong and teaches the character literally nothing. Instead, her terrible behavious is only enabled and justified going forwards, and I'm very disappointed that's the resolution the show decided on. Now she can continue to lean on Futaba as if none of this ever happened, raising the question of why it even did in the first place. Oh, and way to trample on most of Futaba's character development so far by restoring the status quo between her and Kaoruko like this. |
| Another fluffy and beautiful episode. Kaoruko and Futaba are so cute together. <3 Giraffe being Giraffe. He's a mystery. |

| i liked Kaoruko from the beginning but can understand why other people don't, especially after this episode. Not bad, but could have been better is she showed more maturity overall. |
