...Rin sleeps with her pants on, apparently, but it's still a great look for her! I guess Sumire finally got things figured out at the end, so is it possible that we're finally getting into the main storyline of the season?

Tutu Ballerina seems to be arranged to perfectly fit the duo's (relatively) lower voices, by the way. It's nice.

Man! Sumire managed to stay well under the radar for me - until this very episode. Everything just clicked all at once, and now I'm completely entranced in her aura. Tutu Ballerina is a fabulous song.

One of these days, Juri and Sumire need to bring together the fire and ice! Also, Hinaki and Madoka are shaping up to be some fun supporting personalities. Once again is there a reference made to the DreAca elite, yet none of them are anywhere to be seen since 2Wings took down WM...

Tutu Ballerina looks stunning when Sumire performed it on stage! Now what I can't wait to see is Sumire and Rin performing it together.

It was a funny running gag with Johnny-sensei yelling "NO, da!!" to Rin's willingness to perform despite the sprained ankle. He even did it in text in a funny style. xD Apparently he can even read minds too.

Johnny's way with words, whether English or Japanese, is unparalleled. He's certainly on his game, although I'm still not used to seeing him in red.

so... we had Tutu Ballerina as performance and than also as ending? I don't mind :D actually it could also be opening as I love this song.

Johnny-sensei was great. also fact that he made Rin stop was nice to see.

and finally Sumire... oh my, wouldn't it be nice if she was main character instead of Akari? for some reason she does remind me of Mizuki - knows what she wants to do, how and is able to inspire others.

Funny how Mizuki was working over at DreAca, yet fast forward some months later and DreAca is nowhere to be seen. Well except for Seira because well she was in the top 5 last time they showed the rankings.

Anyway, Sumire went all out here. Held her own after Rin hurt herself. Pretty much doing double duty. Sumire's outfit was fantastic. I loved how simple yet elegant it looked. Purple sure goes well on her.


First time seeing Bepp-sensei getting serious. Raised his tone after Rin said she wanted to dance. It was fun to see Bepp-sensei appear randomly whenever Rin said dance.


Also, nice history lesson here. They showed all the units formed which imo was a nice thing they did. It makes units seem even bigger. The only unit we never got to officially see was Ichigo/Aoi. Instead we got Ichigo/Seira.


Madoka is also becoming a great supporting character. Just like Hinaki is for Sumire, Madoka also is for Rin.

We sure have some great supporting characters.
- Aoi to Ichigo
- Kii to Seira
- Madoka to Rin
- Hinaki to Sumire

Was a nice episode. I liked it. What I wanted to see was Rin and Sumire dancing together. But talking about Sumire, I like her solo performance and the song. The song is better with her than with the ED credits.

It was cool performance, it was the first time I've seen an idol using a mic-just impressed me that it was all about singing only

Sumire and Rin forming an unit! That's not something I expected.

Rin pressured herself so much to not disappoint the expectations that she got a small injury, I laughed so hard in the comedy part with Johnny saying NO whenever she thought of dancing xDDD

Sumire really grew as a character thanks to everyone around her and she didn't give up with the idea of both being together, her performance clearly showed those feelings, great episode!

Damn! this episode more than made up for the last couple of episodes this season.

That face from madoka is everything.

Excellent episode. Sumire and Rin are a super cool idol unit!

It was fun when Johnny yelled "NO!" whenever Rin thought of dancing. xD

Something about the effects and lighting of Sumire's performance felt different this episode.

Omg this episode was such a treat

Not only did we get best girl Rin, but her and Sumire are forming a unit, so that's gonna smack <3 Too bad Rin hurt herself, but we did get a Tutu Ballerina solo from Sumire and she killed it so I'm not complaining

Johnny is such a good teacher tho, like he was very clearly concerned about Rin and was doing everything he could so she wouldn't dance, people in this world need to be more like Johnny tbh

Looking forward to Dancing Diva!

Great Sumire episode. She has grown a lot since her first debut in the third season. Slowly breaking out from her shell, growing more confidence and make a unit. The way she came to Rin's class announcing new unit formation sounds like a love proposal. Sumire's performance on Tutu Ballerina was so dazzling. Johnny warning to Rin for no dancing is hilarious. I really love the approach for slow character progression like this. It feels natural and not rushed like in the second season.
