Gosh this episode,,, it was a lot.

I loved how the Sakura Message performance was animated, the transition from 2D to 3D, beautiful. chef kisses. It was a really nice touch of TROYCA to replicate the stage for the song from one of the IRL lives (Road to Infinity). The bread scene between Touma and Riku was so funny I loved it.

The part with Yamato hurts "which" all of it. I'm [everything on fire in the background] Fine.

No opening theme, no ending theme, another wait for next week aaaaa

Gosh, another great episode. It makes sense that we are not getting the OP yet since all this drama is building up.

Sakura Message was beautiful! The fact that they based the animation on the lives made it incredible and the transition between 2D and 3D nailed it.

Everything was perfect, from Yuki being a good senpai to Torao and Ryuu's dynamic, to Riku and Touma's encounter and, of course, Mitsuki and Yamato's fight. I love this story so much.

I wanted more Ryuu screen time but not like this;; LOL If I have to see him get hurt later on I might actually cry xD

Looking forward to the next episode!!

I was surprised by how much cgi they used in the performance, but looks like they were saving everything for those last shots? Though Riku still had to sit up against a cgi Mitsuki lol (ngl that was kind of ingenious)

Touma comes off as such a tsundere lol. It's almost cheesy how fast he manages to switch between the two. I was kind of hoping that we'd get to see some Kinako-pan in that scene but I guess it doesn't make sense for it to exist as an in-universe product, rip

Minami laughing while covered in blood is a scary image.

The way they managed to intertwine Yamato's psyche with that of his role and then set up Yamato and Ryuu as foils through their respective lies... Tsushimi Bunta is too good at this >_>

An intense and sad episode at the same time. Mitsuki and Yamato fight was pretty sad, this season is getting better and better!

The Sakura Message concert was so beautiful and interesting to watch. I always love watching animated CGI in anime and real life concerts. It’s interesting putting CGI to compliment the singer’s performance instead of just focusing the camera on the singer.

Yamato’s intentions are still very mysterious and vague. Idolish7 group has an interesting blend of colorful personalities like innocent Riku, hardworking Inori, and funny Nagi. Mitsuki and Nagi clearly want the idol group to always get along and not clash. I really want to copy down Ryuunosuke’s (Trigger’s) quotes from this episode because he sounded so mature and wise talking about family disparities etc.

damn, it's really gonna take something else to get Yamato to spill huh? Wonder what that's gonna be

But wow things are really starting to break apart. I know it's not what was shown in the beginning but I wonder if these current events are what leads to the supposed breakup of trigger

This hit me, I never thought Nagi would react like that, he's always so cheerful and for Mitsuki to be the one who starts the psysichal violence was soooo unexpected. They're all falling apart.. Poor Nagi and Yamato... Everyone ;_;

Those new guys seem like trouble but the one that helped Riku seemed nice and yet a bad boi, I love it.

Yet another great performance.

Wow. Mitsuki totally lost his temper with Yamato.

Late to the party since I waited to watch this, but this episode was so reminiscent of something that happened in my own friend group that broke us up. So, the entire fight between Mitsuki and Yamato hit me harder than anything.
Sometimes simplicity is greater than complexity
