THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.

Lol:


Well, I guess this episode focused more on Jinguuji. He's not my favorite tbh.
JAPAN BOY COLLECTION.

Oh and I forget but he had an older brother, weird. Kinda strange to perform in the dark, the hell is up with the lights. Oh and they didn't kiss, again. Shame.

Jinguji Ren might not be my favorite character, but man was that a good episode.

If just for his brother making magical shoujo bubbles appear after his ridiculously hilarious and epic run and leap to put the CD in the sound system.
I was seriously crying, just so funny.

I really liked the animation during his song, it was pretty great with the whole candle theme. Not sure if it beats Masato or Syo's episode, but it was definitely up there.

A glimpse of Ren's past. So his older brother was the reason why he is a star. Ren's song lit up the room XD. Hmm at least Cecil didn't prevent anything like he did with Otoya. >_< Next week is Natsuki episode!!!

Man, Ren's brother must have hit the ground pretty hard to have it wrapped up later. Loved the bubbles that appeared when the CD was inserted into the player as well.

Ren's brother cracked me up, and the pose Ren pulled on the stage, haha.

Btw, I don't understand why the individual songs aren't further tailored to the "singing" voices, now most of them just sound awful because you can imagine someone else singing them better. But really, I just have way too high standards :P

Ren's ep. with Orange Rhapsody (オレンジラプソディ) as his character song.

JAPAN BOY COLLECTION as model... (and I noticed that Camus info. beside it, is it related?) So the sponsor is his brother and he feels that he's been used for his family's name. Actually, the brother was one of the "fans" who drawn to his singing that he supports his idol dream.

lol @ Cecil listening to others' demo! But that saved the show when it suddenly blacked out, with the help of his brother (lol~).

Ren's brother finally showed up!

I've always strongly disliked Ren but I actually kind of liked him in this episode.
He didn't seem as douchebaggy to me and felt more like a human being, lmao.

Natsuki's next~! Can't wait.

This was a pretty good episode considering all the Ren >.<



I am eagerly awaiting the Tokiya episode, but I personally think his is going to be the second last one/last one (character episodes) or Cecil's whichever one of them. I believe next week's is going to be Natsuki's episode. Wonder if Satsuki will make an appearance :P

0.o So next week is a Natsuki episode then?

Well, anyways, Ren is not my favorite. In fact, I consider him to only be considering sex (0.0 Well, he talked about heat a lot, and he was willing to wait until she became an adult...) with Haruka. But I actually liked his character song best so far, maybe even more than Masato's (T.T I'm so biased because I'm a fan of Kenichi Suzumura!), and I even respect Ren a tiny bit more now.

Ah Ren~ I find it impossible to not like one of the characters.

No senpais? >.< Come on Uta Pri, you know better!

Ah the song just.... love it. Even for a cheesy anime the music and art makes up for it BIG TIME!

5/5

Natsuki is next? YAY! Hope he turns as Satsuki as well, hehe~

This episode was just... Just...No, I don't have any words to describe Ren's level of fabulous here. Who needs lights when he's around? Just make him sing and enjoy the magical flames of the souls, suddenly lighting up : D

The dialogue between Ren and his brother was completely unnecessary and, imho, the episode would've been a lot better if that wasn't there. I've gotten used to Haruka, but it seems we now have a male character who also displays the same level of clumsiness (I thought that would be impossible). It really makes me think: how does this guy even lead his company. Oh, wait, a power surge almost destroyed the event; yes, I'm sure everything's going perfectly well with him as chairman. I do have to congratulate him for one thing: it takes serious skills to be able do insert the CD into the player without breaking it when the angle is completely wrong :P

Still, I enjoyed the episode, as I always do. It just makes me giggle continuously for 20 minutes xD

Jinguji Ren Episode! :))
I am expecting for a passionate, cool episode. That is Jinguji Ren is!
But I did smell a Brother complex here? XDD (It's just me okay? XDD)

Well, seeing it Japan's Boy Collection, saying WOW
When Ren will take his walk, popping my eyes out! XD
He's so cool! Waaaaay too cool! :PPP *fangirling mode* XD

Seeing Cecil listening to a Walkman,'okay what was that?'
Well I expect somehow they are a little bit tech-embraced it's 2013.

But seeing that they will use the CD for Ren's (sudden) performance it makes sense to me.

And for the fact that CD is the best way not to leak out songs, throughout the Internet world, I guess. XD

What makes sense to me is that how the hell Seiichiro put the CD inside that player without opening the case? XDD Or I just miss the taking the case out scene?

What's Cecil's favorite question?
*insertnamehere*, why did you become an idol?

I've been hearing that every episode! :)))

Overall 4/5 for me! :)))

PS. CECIL, YOU'RE SO COOL WITH THAT ATTIRE WITH YOUR EARPHONES ON! XD
MY NEON-CAT-MASCOT OR WHATEVER IT IS! :)) (Feel the intesity! XD)

And poor Ren, won't get laid anytime soon (or probably never), since he's waiting for Haruka to 'become an adult' ... good luck, mate.
So next week is Natsuki's episode, I wonder who will be the week after since there is only Tokiya and Cecil left? Probably the senpais?

ROFL at RenBro tripping on his ass on the way to put the CD in.

Cat Boy be everywhere but too bad no cock block in this ep....ok for Masa and Ren to hit on her, but not Ittoki who obviously loves her?

And. Lmao over Haruka basically admitting that Ren's singing gets her hot.

I want more senpais though :( Especialy Reiji, he's so damn cool.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who doesn't like Ren very much. But yea, this was definitely my least favorite episode so far. Even though they all focus on one character per ep, this one really only involved Ren, and Cecil a little bit (who I also just don't get). At least the others attempt to weave in other characters. Also that bit with his brother running and tripping, that was too funny. It, however, is redeemed by that Natsuki/Syo moment in the beginning <3

I always thought that was rather obvious...

Ah, Ren. <3
He's such a smooth talker, total flirt - and a hottie. Which is all quite wasted on Haruka, but what isn't? Though in a way I still think he and Masato are perfect together.

Come to think of it, he reminds me of Howl.

Not a big fan of Ren, but this episode was really enjoyable! He felt more likable and human, he wasn't as douchebaggy here xD Plus, his brothers appearance made it a nice episode to flesh out his character. Still can't wait until the Natsuki episode! I want to see more Satsuki and more about Natsuki's past!

About Ren's song, it showcased his deep, suave voice and I loved the instruments in the back but as someone pointed out, it didn't really feel very 'Hot'. It was more a ear pleasing song then an ear exploding song. But I liked it heaps nonetheless xD

Now that you've pointed it out I see the similarities! They have similar personalities and dispositions xD

Also I love the theme they have going on of incorporating Cecil into the episodes, he's slowly learning why the others are as passionate as they are and I think it's growing on him.

I love how there has to be at least one Natsuki x Syo scene per episode. It's like Natsuki can't survive without touching his little Syo-chan. Not that I'm complaining.

Ren has never been one of my favourites but I still quite liked this episode.

I can't even with the CD player part. It was a bit too dramatic I think :P And the sparkles, I don't even.

I wish this episode had some more Ren x Masa scenes but it was pretty good c:

Damn it! I didn't think I would ever enjoy Jinguuji's episode - my least favourite of the STARISH. Least favourite will be an understatement, I dislike him. But I was wronged.

At least he made amends with a wonderful song and backing off when my Nanami was defenseless.

Lol, Haruka reacts how I would to flirting. x_x

It's interesting to see this other side of Cecil, when he was so confident with Haruka in the past. He's definitely a kouhai right now.

The sparkles as onii-san dived through the room and put the CD in cracked me up, oh my god.

I really liked the backstory for Ren, seeing that side of him. <3 Loved his song too! He's not my favorite but I enjoyed this episode.

I liked the Ren x Masato moment. Ren couldn't talk to Haruka about the situation (probably didn't want to 'burden her', or just didn't want to go into the whole thing) but was able to with Masato because they've known each other for so long and Masato was already aware of Ren's past.

Also, I loved Natsuki petting puppy!Shou ahahaha.

To be honest, Ren is one of my favourite. After watching this episode make me love him even more. i loved his song on this episode. And LOL at Ren's brother slamming the disc in to that machine. It's impossible to do that the disc will ended up broken to pieces. I do agree that Ren looks like Syo when they show the flashback about Ren's past with his childhood memories. I can predict a yaoi doujin will be coming out soon together with his brother of course lol. Overall i gonna give this episode an 5/5 And same here i definitely can't wait to watch Tokiya episode!

I wish Ren's VA would be a more solid singer because his instrumentals are seriously awesome. Loving that jazzy trumpet and trombone instrumental, but his voice is so flimsy. The engrish also ruins it a bit. Nevertheless, very entertaining episode.
