| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Beginning is some sad flashback of Chihaya with an arrange of Aoi Tori playing. She wakes up and sees Hibiki outside running to get her dog. Hibiki gets in a fight with her dog (lol.) It's really nice to see some more of Hibiki, she's been kind of ignored for the most part in the anime so far. A strange car takes Hibiki and drops her off in the middle of nowhere, as Jupiter comes in to steal the show. Hibiki then falls off a cliff. Hamazou slaps her shit then goes to find help. Best pet ever. Trial Dance is the insert. Sad piano arrange of "THE iDOLM@STER" Hibiki realizes how she was treating her pets, and then they all show up to save her. how cute. In the end everything works out. Pretty funny episode. ED Is probably a new song. |
| Hmm, this episode was okay to me. Wasn't really outstanding. To be honest this didn't really feel like a Hibiki episode. I'm almost certain Hamuzou had more screentime than her lol. Not a bad thing considering Hamuzou is more amusing than some of the other idols. I did kind of laugh at Kuroi's antics. I mean his actions aren't really evil, there mostly just silly. Do kind of hope that next week is a Makoto episode, like most of the people at the livestream were predicting. |
| Too much Hamuzou. But the episodes ending and credits make up for it. 961 are pure assholes 3/5 |
 |
| Hibiki reminds me of Beastmaster from Warcraft III... Oh wait, she probably already is. Anyway, I think Hamzo is the smartest pet in anime after Ein in Cowboy Bebop.  (I wish I could get slapped on my face by a hamster like this...) |

| Hamuzou was way more useful than producer. I love when he slapped Hibiki's face, was a masterpiece. Also, 961 are pure assholes.² |
 |
| I really would preferred if this episode was about Chihaya instead of Hibiki, because I'm eager to know what happened in Chihaya's childhood, but I still liked this episode it was a good one overall. Can't wait to see Makoto next episode!! |
| The fact that the one 961 pro idol believed what his president said that 765 pro was trying to get back at them with having their own idol disappears shows that he is kind of an idiot. |
| So like I said in earlier thread Jupiter are actually good peoples, the one who's an asshole is the producer. prismheart said: The fact that the one 961 pro idol believed what his president said that 765 pro was trying to get back at them with having their own idol disappears shows that he is kind of an idiot. No, that's just because of our POV. From Jupiter's POV they are honest people and 765 pro are people that use underhanded method to gain fame. The way Jupiter saw it is that Hibiki is not serious and do everything she feel like it, that she enter and leave on her whim and that her producer is the one covering everything up. The truth is started to be sorted out but will only be fully out when Jupiter and 765 pro will actually have a talk about what actually is happening. |
 |
| Screw Hibiki, I want to know what's up with Chihaya. |
| Dang need more Hibiki, this wasnt a real Hibiki episode |
| Kuroi from 967 is using all sorts of dirty tricks to get rid of them huh? Jupiter is so stuck up because they get misinformed by Kuroi, making it seem like 765 is the one using tricks. I think Jupiter isn't actually that bad on their own, so maybe they'll be nicer to the girls later on. If they ever find out about Kuroi's tricks that is. They want to take 765 on with their talent after all and I don't think they'll be pleased to hear their producer has been playing dirty. Hamozou got to the office all by himself, taking the subway and everything! Hibiki got all sorts of animals back home, including a flying squirrel and even an alligator! How the hell all those animals can live together peacefully, I have no idea. xD Meanwhile Chihaya seems to have had some family problems in het childhood. Maybe that has something to do with her always looking so serious. =( |
 |
| It was an ok episode, I thought it was going to be something really powerful but instead we got this. Anyway, the Makoto episode looks awesome. |

| I thought it was going to be a Chihaya episode, but I was wrong. I love the Hibiki episodes because they always show her animals. |
 |
| Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa it's Jupiter!!!!! They should have taken over. |

| I just about cried. Jupiter isn't really bad; it's just the president and the sheep that is Touma. |
| A mediocre episode. It's good that 961 pro failed to accomplish their dirty tacctics against 765pro. |
| i thought this is Chihaya episode but i'm wrong this is hibiki turn i don't understand why that was a checkmate |
 |
| That fag Kuroi and his bitch had to ruin my Hibiki ep. Not to mention all that goddamn QUALITY throughout. Probably the first time I was slightly disappointed in an ep. |
| 961, get out of my Hibiki ep!!! |
Paiguy said: I think that is a giant X. I don't know what the TL are talking about. I actually enjoyed this episodes just because i was fuming at kuroi pro. It is so aggravating that the idol is so naive about his own company. Yes, i like getting frustrated and mad at shows =P |
| Kuroi literally said, "checkmate!" |
| Wow, Hibiki got fucked over with this episode D: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-10-24/trigger-gurren-lagann-shibata-sushio-make-idolm@ster-no.17 |
| I was expecting more from this episode since Hibiki is my favorite idol, but it was okay, I liked the songs and the credits. |
 |
| Shoot, I thought it was Chihaya time already, I really want to know what's her story, though I can guess most of it. Even though this episode had a lot of Hibiki, I felt the plot to be...well, let's say weak. Didn't enjoy this one unfortunately. 2/5. |
| a nice episode, seeing makoto resolve her "prince" issues!! the ED was really nicely done!! |
 |
wailofthebanshee said: well... she mentioned in the very first episode if I recall correctly but... yes, I guess she does... so?Hibiki has a crocodile pet. |
| Hibiki must feed her crocodile well. He's not eating the other animals or her. |
 Got Milk? |
| That's cos Hibiki is at the top of the hierarchical order of the animal kingdom. |
| I wish somebody would put a bullet through Kuroi's head. |
| To those people who say that the Jupiter boys are assholes--I doubt that; it's pretty clear that they're being fed misinformation by President Kuroi. Kuroi, on the other hand, is just a jackass. image with tons of translator's notes Win. Also, "kuroi" means "black", hence his using black pieces. And turning over everything to black in a "game" of Othello earlier. That said, the way the pieces line up form an X, which signifies "elimination" as well. Also, it suggests he doesn't really care about rules; he just wants things to end up however he wants them to end up. dolphinloverjc said: Hibiki must feed her crocodile well. He's not eating the other animals or her. That croc is also rather plump. I suspect you are right. greg50100 said: I wish somebody would put a bullet through Kuroi's head. I don't think this is that kind of series. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| Liked the episode.. But Jupiter's attitude or rather that red haired one's attitude form Jupiter is starting to piss me off even if they're being tricked by President Kuroi. |
 |
| I find it amusing that Hibiki has a crocodile =D Next episode is a Makoto episode, yay =D |
 |
| .... Need more Hibiki episode... This episode is completely ruined... |

| The episode was ok, but now I really understand why Jupiter (well especially the one guy who always stands in the middle) is always so unfriendly towards our Idols :o Getting fooled by that old bastard is no fun at all, how it doesn't take too long to make them realize that their producer is the bad guy |
| I kind of feel sorry for Jupiter for being fooled by Kuroi like this. Though I can't possibly fathom why would anyone believe somebody with an evil voice like his. Not that great of an episode, it was okay at best :/ Also, misleading beginning with Chihaya was weird. I thought it was gonna be about her. I guess they are slowly building it up. I can't wait to get to know more about her. |
 |
| What is this supernatural bullshit with the super intelligent hamster? I thought this anime would be COMPLETELY realistic. ROAR |
 |
| Wow the 961 and Jupiter are a bunch of a-holes, who are just jealous of the 765 idol's fame. Glad that Hibiki is safe thanks to her well educated animals, they are a family to her :D. |
| Hmm, so Jupiter doesn't know that Kuroi is really the one at fault. That explains their seemingly arrogant reactions to the situations. Hibiki is a real fun character, a nice little sol message on the side as well. That big dog has the hots for Inumi, but got shot down. |
 |
| Another sweet episode with some nice character development as well! Let's see what's next! |
 |
| An alligator or a crocodile? Whatever it is..as a pet? Hibiki the beast master lmao. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| You could always sue them.. right? It's kidnapping... Even if it's just drop & run away... It's still kidnapping Hibiki & her animal friends... That was so beautiful I wish I had one animal friends... They always bite me before we could become friends >_< |
"Signature removed"   |
| When are the police going to get involved? Well, I guess this is the Japanese music industry, and the police doing something about a case like this would strain the show's credibility even more than Hibiki talking to her animals and her pet alligator not eating the rest. |
 |
| Those 961 guys are pure jerks and that lead singer has an arrogant attitude. The blondie and other dude seem much nicer than the lead singer. Hamazou slapping Hibiki was pure win lol. She needed that slap and it's amazing how Hamazou knows the way home as well. |
