Even with a rough start, their live performance went well in the end. Until... there was another drama from Soyo. When will those drama end? Never.
btw, where's my Afterglow x Poppin'Party?

They did that kind of mistake like... I understand it's their first live but that's horrible... The way Anon apologized and stopped when they already playing the music lol. And Tomori's little false voice... Literally bringing out kira kira hikaru moment's feelings. Well, everything turns pretty fine after that, though.

That transition to Haruhikage was really smooth. We finally got the full version and the performance was nice too. I liked it, so Soyo's rage at the end is unexpected. Is she mad because that song belongs to CRYCHIC and not their current band? I wonder.

Yeah still no clue with what relation Saki and Uika have here. I don't know if this anime will also being Ave Mujica prolog since it seems like they started to move them somewhere from here.

Best episode so far for me, from the way camera movement before they go to live i can feel they're nervousness and how the way the conflict goes and the Live itself even tho started very rough but it did end well, good job Sanzigen.

I can't never forget this episode,when Tomori start talking and Rana play guitar I never expected they will use Haruhikage as the second song,and for someone already hears more Bang Dream song some of song have meaning in the lyrics like Haruhikage have perfect meaning for Tomori in this episode and her past.

fuck Soyo, all my homies hate Soyo.

i really hope the reason for Sakiko to leave isnt...dumb, weak? i dont know which word i want to use here, like it would be extremely stupid if she abandoned the band because some rando on the internet said something


that being said, any episode with best girl of the universe is a good episode

Most likely its not that. We really haven't seen on what she saw on her phone on episode 3. The one we have seen with the comments was from Soyo's phone.

yeah, it was just an example of something that falls under "dumb"
its probably not family problems (although it could be money problems, but i doubt it since they live in that big ass house still), so im just curious, in all honesty we have no clues, so it can be anything

although this 99% confirms that Ave Mujica is Sakiko's way of revenge, which i kinda dig

There is actually a valuable clue in episode 6.
When Mutsumi asked her if she will visit Tsukinomori to talk to Soyo, the mere mention of that school was enough to rile her up.
Why is that I wonder?

what a nice episode. i have so many emotions after watching but overall i just think this was a beautiful episode. the beginning had me so anxious like i was right there waiting to go on stage.

i think this show is really something special for not being afraid to show the characters having hiccups in their performances. a show like bocchi the rock or other similar animes would have you believe that every first take of a song is perfect, with no hiccups beyond that. but this show has no problem showing gaps in skill and takes it in beautiful stride.

other people may complain about the drama but honestly, if you don't like it by now then i don't think it's going anywhere. how beautiful this show is.. it's great

finally music and the truth is that both songs are very beautiful and we have finally seen the complete song of "spring flower" but I am still confused with the character of sakiko. tomori's speech before from the song it seems that it is directed at sakiko and it seems that the song also, i don't think tomori will play the song to offend sakiko. come on a mystery that sakiko character

With a few problems there at the start but eventually they did a great performance on the stage.
But even that doesn't mean there will be no new drama.. And now it's here..

The gap between their 1st and 2nd song is too big which makes it seems unrealistic.

Soyo raging at the end is like the embodiment of japanese politeness especially in service industry. Knew she is a problem since ep1 with her eerie hand and eye movement and forced mediation.
Truth is absolute but human perception of truth is always relative.

I've thought Soyo's way too yandere the whole season...super unlikable. Yelling at Tomori after she actually managed to have a moment is just more reason for me to dislike her when she was already my least favorite character.

I wonder why Soyo ended up completely breaking down at the end? Was it because she didn't know Sakiko was there? Or because it's CRYCHIC's song and not theirs? It made me a little mad, because that was a moment where Tomori truly felt confident to sing and I honestly was thinking Soyo wanted that for her, right?

I wonder what kind of relationship Uika and Sakiko have.

Either way, great episode and great music ^^ Absolutely loved the new song they used and the transition to Haruhikage

Yandere how? She doesn't seem to have anyone she loves in particular in that sorta way. Do you mean she has traits of a yandere? Or was it the way she is towards Sakiko?

Because she love sakiko. She love her so much. And That song its more like an oath of them being together. Now with a new team sing it which make her feel like betraying her lover. Later when she saw sakiko ran , Of course she will be mad at others.
Tomori is more like just a bridge connects to sakiko. From ep1, she was trying to find and reach out to sakiko the whole time.

The first song is a new song, so of course they will flunk that one because they have very limited practice.
But with Haruhikage, Soyo and Taki being former members of the original band that performed it, already have the rhythm of it mastered so it is more polished.
Tomori's case is very obvious (the lyrics are her genuine feelings).
Anon also practiced Haruhikage much more than the first song because Taki changed the arrangements a couple of times for the first song for reasons that is Raana.
And Raana is just Raana (a musical genius)

Soyo finally reveals her b*tch side to everyone else with that shout. At least the drama in this episode is minimal and in the background, but drama is still drama i guess. And next episode, more drama.

i don't think i had to deal with this level of first live nerves to this degree before i had to keep pausing because it was so painful to watch lol,  but they finally got into it thanks to stray cat she was just slaying and that smooth transition into the 2nd song  and all the drama build up for reasonings i dont fully understand  made for quite the emotional shock by the end 

i mean.. i knew she was hiding her anger but god damn (didn't think all those nods would lead to it here) 

great episode though, screamed when i saw our girls  it's them!

Huh... I wanted to see more of Poppin Party... but I guess since they're not the focus, they're only mentioned and only appear on screen for like 1 or 2 sec... :(

.

Also, RIP @ the girls getting WAY too nervous and had a rough start... literally ROUGH... so rough, that half of the audience already left when they messed up and drank water.

But they, they're actually still pretty lucky to have more than 5 ppls watching, since real first time performance by a random newbie group usually get less than 5 watchers at first.

They're actually just riding on Afterglow x PoppinParty's audience.

.

And they (or Raana, lol) decide to start playing the "old song"

While it's nice and good for Tomori

I can actually understand Soyo's side of feeling.

.

I mean... you try playing something after breaking up a team... It's actually a bad taste.

Ppls here hating on Soyo and the old group are just ppls that doesn't actually understand their feelings and is only thinking about supporting Tomori.

Imagine if you were on a team, such as a e-sport team with a team-strat that everyone together made, but then the team disbands cause of some drama, then you join a new team with another member, only to have the new team do the old team-strat cause a new member saw your old team-strat and wanted to try it out without telling you about it in mid of tourny... and then it reminds you of the bad times when the team disbanded and then distracts you from playing the game...

It's just a bad taste if everyone doesn't talk to each other before any sort of performance, especially ones that had drama connected with it.

.

Tho the one that ppls should be focusing on is Sakiko... and whatever reason she decide to disband in the first place. Soyo was just surprised by the song and it reminded her of the Disband.

But the real one at fault here is Raana... that just started to randomly play the song without telling others about it. (This action is a type of group breaker behavior, it actually happens in some real life groups that cause disagreements, drama and even disbands)

Sakiko is so annoying. She's so emotional and melodramatic. She deserves everything that's happened to her.

I'm glad we've finally seen Soyo snap. She always seemed so suspicious and nice.

This was painful to watch, but still, I think should had ended much worse, because I was not believing that they would really go to play after rushing things so much and failing to properly play together even once.
But most important, I really hope the story justify this "forced drama" around Sakiko. I need a convincing excuse for her behavior (and Soyo) (did the bad even had another music to play?).
