| At an audition for the role of Kaguya, Kokona accidentally mimics Yae's performance. Hiiragi comes up to her and advises her to 'know yourself'. At first Kokona doesn't understand what this means, but as she walks around Asakusa with Shizuka, she begins to question who she is and what the role means to her. Shizuka and Kokona's kaguya Hime scene was great. Kathrina throws a tantrum, she takes this too seriously. Kokona intends to ask for advice but Kathrina concludes that her acting is bad. Later, she found the emotion in Kathrina's eyes when she confronted her in rehearsal and tried to confront her directly... That was a good performance by Kaguya Hime. I like Kathrina's role but yeah Katrina was too nervous and the acting went awry. I like how Kokona followed Kathrina. Kokona acted quite well. The duet with Shizuka was also great. This is Kaguya hime's best performance. And wow, I love the scene where the cherry blossoms fall. It was a perfect performance, Kokona was surprised when Shizuka also joined the story. |
| Every Sirius member is remarkable of their individual Senses, like Panda's ability to depict the audience's reactions. For Kathrina, the Dai Star DNA runs in her German family roots, while Kokona finds herself being lectured by Shizuka for copying Yae's acting. Noa having a private talk with Kokona to get her thoughts on Kathrina's acting, and the practice rehearsals are not letting up to carve an identity for themselves before the newcomer performance is over. This, for the still fledgling Kokona, seems like a hard riddle to solve, but thanks to Shizuka, she can be free and portray Princess Kaguya and the helper Misao through song together. The first rehearsal for both Kathrina and Kokona, and to the German perfectionist, it doesn't seem right at all, which threw her focus off kilter. Yae coming in to give Kokona some encouragement to put on her genuine performance, and one way to is to fight with her face-on, though Kokona took this at face value and decides to stalk her to get to know her better, which she scoffs her off badly. With that, the performance rehearsal heading towards the climax, and just like the previous time, any distraction would cause her Sense of concentration to break like glass, and Kokona has to save her through her acting to continue the play as if nothing happened. With the mysterious Shizuka coming in as well that's noticed by everyone, Kathrina got back her Sense and perfected the performance on its last heels. Kokona's Sense, indeed, isn't Senseless as she comes as is. It's the connection between her and Shizuka, which has been always at the forefront of her acting. Where to go from here, now that Shizuka is also identified? |

| Who tf is Shizuka and how she can appear in front of everyone just by performing on the stage?? lmao... At first, I didn't want anyone to mess up on the stage, but when I saw Kathrina's toxic behaviors, I really want her to mess up. Oh gosh... She was so toxic during the rehearsal. okay... okay... You can be super serious while working but not this kind of sh!t. And, when things fking up you were just stuck and helpless. In the end, the one who helped you out was the one you insult the most. I really hope you will improve your behavior and attitude in the future. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Was planning to drop it after this episode but the hook at the end managed to revive my interest (at least for now) |
| I had to clap at the end. Enjoyed Kokona, Kathrina, and the surprise appearance of Shizuka on stage! really enjoyed this episode. |
| Aw shit wait so can the director see Shizuka?? Her eyes lighting up at the end seemed supernatural. Kokona’s performance today was the total opposite of the last week’s she really embraced her own strengths and weaknesses. I wish katherina wasn’t such a bitch tho like what is her deal? She’s clearly got some trauma of her own that she’s coping with. |
 |
| So now they can see Shizuka. WTH is she? Finding out what's up with Shizuka is the only interesting part of the story for me. |
| Okay this changes everything, so now they can see Shizuka !? WTF is going on ??? And the whole "sense" thing is bullshit I hope it had nothing to do with how everybody now can see Shizuka !! Overall this episode is a little better than before, they provide us more info about the characters especially Kathrina (still a bitch, hopefully she change her attitude fast it's getting annoying) |
| someone used Foresight on Shizuka and now she can be hit by normal-type moves |
SucheNutzername said: according to the credits it's someone called Maiko G (マイコ・Ｇ). I did some research but didn't find anything about herHm.... I wonder who they enlisted to speak the role of Kathrinas mother XD |
| wat, so many questions, loved Kathrina's outfit, so colorful and graceful. |
| I really love the specialised animation during acting in this anime- art is also amazing. Shizuka sure is a mysterious being. I expected her to fade away from other people’s view after the performance but I guess it did not? Or maybe actually it did but only the teacher was able to see it? I don’t know we’ll probably understand that next week but it was such an interesting concept. I’m really loving this anime. |

| So this knight may have simply missed this being addressed in the previous episodes, but did they ever actually explain what this Sense stuff is all about? I honestly can't recall an explanation, and usually magic powers get explained in the first episode. Might just be blanking out and forgetting said explanation though. |

I don't recall it mentioning it prior, but it seems like all those girls have that "Sense" supernatural ability represented by starry eye. For example, Panda can read the minds of audience. I guess Shizuka is literally Kokona's Sense manifested. But I guess it will be properly explained in the next episode. |

No, unless I overlooked it as well they never explained it, but I already knew so that doesn't confuse me. From what I can remember form acting a sense is a feel. I heard somewhere (been too long to remember if it was class or a tv show) that all great stage actors have a sense or feel for the art. They give the director and the audience what they want before being told and the greatest before anyone knows what they want. So following the Panda example, she can read her audience or feel what it is they want and gives it to them (except Panda goes overboard as we saw). What I don't understand is how a not so imaginary friend like Shizuka is a sense. |
| I feel like the play they did and her appearing suddenly is foreshadowing... |
 |
| wasn't expecting DAT ASS, but that was nice |
   |
| I thought Shizuka is a wandering ghost that Kokona picked up somewhere (lol). But looks like she's something else entirely. I'm looking forward to next week, maybe we will know what she really is. |
| Not sure if I liked how they handled this episode, the fact that Shizuka might be some kind of artistic and supernatural phenomenon and how everyone suddenly see her on stage is a bit dumb and anticlimactic. Anyway, wtf? |
  Grant me one hour on love's most sacred shores To clasp the bosom that my soul adores, Lie heart to heart and merge my soul with yours |
| She's...real?! TH? She bought someone to reality. As someone commented "I wish my imaginary came to reality like that". I don't have something grandiose as that but I do wish my imaginary friends and demons I fight come to reality. As I suspected, the moment she copied it I knew she screwed up but well you can't be sure unless you see it so now that they spelled it out I think it was okay for her to copy initially since that's how ammeters grow to have an unique personality, at least that's what I think. Until next episode~ |

| Shizuka is the manifestation of Kokona's Senses, or her inner self, another her? or a ghost of a dead actress who is haunting kokona? Mysterious and supernatural.. very happy to come across this low key under the Rader Anime |
 |
| This is a pretty nice show. Kokona's sense has something to do with Shizuka's presence, she may be a dead childhood friend, her other half who says what Kokona wants to but cant do it or even easier, just her sense materializing in the stage. |

| What I never understand in theater shows: why on-stage acting is worse then same show voice acting for out-of-stage segments. I get that sense of acting-as-poor-man-acting instead of real theatrics experience all the time. |

| I think the biggest question is, they used an actual GLASS slipper for a stage play? a Glass slipper? are they idiots? |
AkeZZZ said: I mean it's obvious from this episode what she is. They pretty much explained it in the ending. Shizuka is her Sense ability, probably based on her dead friends.Who tf is Shizuka and how she can appear in front of everyone just by performing on the stage?? lmao... |
| Me gusta el anime. |
 |
| so... Shizuka was suppose to be "imaginary" by way of Kokona's "sense" But she somehow "materialized" Shizuka?... Doesn't that mean she somehow created life out of "sense"... huh.... . |

Hm.... I wonder who they enlisted to speak the role of Kathrinas mother XD
I'm somewhat unsure but I think I've already heard that voice in a German Anime Dub :D
(Though it still is weird to have a voice actor born in the US and speaking perfect, fluent English speak broken German when they could have just changed her origin to being from an English speaking country)
