Lots of jump cuts in this episode. Don't think they did that before.

Anyway, very cute episode. Midori shouldn't have hidden the fact for that long.

So that beauty mark does have some significance after all eh? I wonder what's going to happen now that she's named the prince's future bride.

But hopefully Mochizou takes center stage next episode!

Midori reminded me of Mio this episode she looked a lot like her.
The episode was pretty funny especially when Midori got embarrassed which happened a couple of times especially hen she was looking silently about it.
The members rely on her a lot for the club.

Given Midori just became the captain of the club, it makes that she wants to make some real contribution to the club, and this thought (as well as her pride) keeps pushing her more and more to a corner. Don't really think it is an excuse.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Looks like you've gotta get your act together, Mochizou, if you want to get your girl.

As usual Dera made the episode. No matter how you look at it, he's the star of the anime.

Well as usual practice in any anime production, the episode director changes from episode to episode, so not sure what you mean here. Anyway, the director of this episode, Kogawa, is the same episode director for ep.3.

Eh, it could just be the way this show telegraphs every plot twist, but something tells me you're still all right.

Animation fail - too many scenes with talking off-screen, horrible angles, bizzare cuts and even baton performance in the end was disappointment.
Storywriter fail - too much giggling, too weird moments, no sense at all. Only scene where I was laughing was Kanna recording Dera dance.
Audio fail - sound were somehow unnatural and some voices felt out of place.
Direction fail - so many random moments, very obvious unfinished stuff and bad planning decisions. How could this even be aired in the first place?
WTF Did I just watched?
I know they are maybe saving budget for something big but this episode was bad on many levels.
KyoAni FAIL!

Somehow I find it refreshingly good though. Animation cool; Storywriter good focus, Direction to the point. I did not see audio issue you seem to be noticing either. However, I definitely agree that fans may want to see more of the baton performance than what is shown in this episode.

im practicing a parasol dance for my bunkasai and i wish we looked half as cute. although i will say, as others sort of mentioned, this seemed like kind of a waste for the third to last episode. the only plot relevance was at the end with choi when she finally decided it was tamako she was looking for. also, needs more dera

Now this episode really reminded me of K-On and Hyouka. That sniffing scene with the tissue... and the tracksuits of their baton clubmates is the same in Hyouka!

And, they finally focused on the mole on Tamako's neck. Can't wait to see why she becomes the Prince's bride candidate.

Your criticism is the only thing i find strange here, i thought this episode was pretty normal and made a lot of sense. And the issues you brought up doesn't seem spot-on at all.

Adding on, I thought that there was some great character development for Midori and Shiori (they basically re-created the bathroom scene, except in the opposite direction).

I highly doubt Kyoto Animation will make Tamako marry the prince with out actually knowing a single thing about him (he seems cute, so maybe it's a good match?). I think Midori would beat someone up if that happens o____o , and I'd feel so bad for Mochizou, even if I wouldn't prefer him to match up with Tamako at the end.

^ My thoughts exactly.

Ditto. I felt it was a really good episode.

So am I! But I'm pretty sure it won't end with Tamako x Anybody by the end. They DID state there would be nothing that came out of the romance.

Also, why are people acting like Mochizou needed more screen-time? He gets TONS of screentime ALL THE TIME! One episode focuses on Midori, and suddenly people are acting like he's been dropped off the face of the earth. Midori's been in the background a lot, she deserved an episode like this.

It showed just how much everyone thought she was the 'only can do everything' sort of girl, and showed a side of her that we probably only saw a hint of before this episode. I'm glad they took the time to give Midori this chance.

Now, the plot hath reared its ugly head again, and that prince is coming into play. I really hope that it doesn't go that path. They've done so much with all the others, to have her just run off to be with a Prince would just be...bleh desu.

I have faith in this show though, and I don't see it taking such an abrupt switch like that.

It's probably related to Choi's fortunetelling. She probably foretold the Prince's bride having that mole and something to do with that scent.

So damn boring.
Being a Midori focused episode only made it worse.

All of this Prince's bride is kind of off-putting as well.

Nice episode, they should have shown more of the performance though.
I think the animation cuts were funny most of the time.

The princess thing has been building up and now the final episodes will be probably about that. I don't think she will just go out and marry him :P
Also, Poor Mochizou again :S
