| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  Lol, that girl with the pigtail sure is strange and the way she was dressed in that restaurant. The episode was okay and I'm glad she joined them as well. |

| Niko is too bossy for my tastes, and having her join as the captain of the group, I mehed at first but it quickly grew on me as her exercises were cute. She has quite a lot of idol merchandise, enough for idol otaku status. |

| 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. |
| The captain of the group? really... e_e I hope Honoka can take over after Niko's self-acting as captain |
 |
| I don't want Niko to be captain. She's a bit weird. Did I just hear "who's gonna be center" on the next ep preview? |
| Can't help myself so I watched RAW already. I will be back to comment on it when subs is released. |

| Another great ep. Lol'd more this ep than all previous eps combined me thinks! Nico's pretty interesting. It's great they have someone that is more of a captain and knows quite a bit about idols. Next ep should be interesting since it seems to be about finding a center. I think Honoka's got that covered though :P |
 |
| Another good episode. Don't really care for Nico much but meh. I like Rin and Maki the best so far |
| Hanayo XD nice to see her.. passionate about something ;) and Nico - she reminds me of Azusa, but way more asertive type. But she is adorable and way she defrosts was cute. This series keeps being one of better this season. |
| So much win in this episode. That show keeps me entertained all the way. |
 |
| I'm very, VERY suprised that this show is that good! I mean... GREAT! I love it so much! ♥ |
 巨人を一匹残らず駆逐してある！ |
| Nico sure knows some ninja moves. The way she attack Honoka in the beginning. Her hilarious antics keeps me laughing and smiling. In the end Honoka got her to join up. Next is Center? A Center!? Like in Akb0048 Center?? If so, I thought Center only exist in akb idol. It's obvious that it'll be Honoka. With only two members yet to join. I wonder how'll they convince the two of them? |
| And..... 1 More member to the list. Now that makes 7 Members. And Yeah I'm surprised at how good this show is turning out. Plus Da Face...  |
| It was SO awesome. The first part of the ep was really funny, and then the second made me say ''Awwwwww!!'' all the way. I like every characters, quite a new thing for me, especially when it comes to idols. More please! Niko is too great and cute......... qwjrhnwjknjkajndakl!?!?!?!? I have to wait one week again D: |
     |
| Niko makes awesome funny and troll faces out there. |

| Watched this episode Three Times, and I have to say this is not just the strongest episode so far in this wonderful series but it is one of the best episodes I have seen so far in this season (and I have been following >25 series in this season). Everything is perfect or near perfect. The characters are funny and lovely - and all the many funny faces they made are all hilarious. The motion sakuga and animation has never been better. The pacing is on the spot. The characterization of Niko is all round and has good depth. The directing made sure there is a lot of humor balanced with firm character and story development together with the right amount of heart touching mood. I found my eyes also wet when Niko wept her tears at the end of the episode, but I also found myself laughing louder than even when I watched the latest episode of Haganai or Minamike, which are all very funny episodes by themselves. And the seiyuu, particularly the one for Niko (too many great moments to recall but I particularly love her demo of the idol smiles) and Hanayo (that DenDenDen dialogue is gem), all performed superbly. tl;dr A perfect episode for an unexpectedly awesome series |

| Another awesome episode.... Tsundere IRC president is EPIC.... 4/5 |
 |
| nico-senpai (❁´◡`❁) it was surprisingly moving how she started to cry at the end |
| This show just wows me to no end o_o It's become as amazing as Idolm@ster! One season is not going to do this show justice. I really hope we can see more of them later on! This is easily my favorite show of the season~ Which is a tough spot to take with AKB and Vividred airing, but everything about this show is just amazing ~ I think one thing this show is doing really well, is introducing all the characters at the beginning (like in Idolm@ster) and gradually introducing us to them. Instead of just having each episode be a recruitment episode, we've been seeing the possibility of these girls joining from the start, and learning about them from the start. Which I feel is much better than trying to push everything into one episode. I really want to know why the president is so against this though. Her and her VP are the last two members left to recruit, so this should be quite the interesting venture ~ And, it needs to be mentioned that Honoka is an awesome main character! She can pull people together, and actually goes through with things, no matter how impossible it might seem! She also really understands what people are thinking, which is a VERY important trait for a leader. I definitely see her pulling off center, but we'll have to see where this goes. Just glad they finally are an official club ~ |
| This is great, I love all the character development. I'll probably pick up The iDOLM@STER when I have time, because I'm really enjoying this. Niko's emotions at the end were amazing, not that made me happy. I'm really looking forward to more. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| All those faces made this episode were funny to watch. |
 |
| A 95 percent 5/5 rating. |

My my, what a different does subs make! All the jokes are a lot funnier we you understand the appropriate context. This one for example: Nico-chan is the main heroine of this episode. She is a loli Idol Extraordinaire but also a pretty clumsy and "unintentionally" funny character. Her facial expression is very rich and she provided most of the gags in this episode. Despite what Nico said, all other members already have a distinct personality. Ones that does not needed to be faked out but rather encourage to be exposed more Honoka is amazing as the "center" of the club. Her people skill is off the chart with that funny and ditzy personality to boot. She is going to be one of my favorite idols Umi is a serious type but also too afraid of failure. Her reaction when her dance step was criticized is lol-worthy. She also possesses the best voice so far Kotori is a pleasant yes-man type but she still holds a secret that was hinted at in this episode Maki-chan is lovely, a talented, serious, pretty, and rich tsundere. What is not to loved? Hanayo is shy but she has the cutest voice among the idols. Any guy would love her to read English textbook to them. xD Rin is very sporty and energetic. She would lid the entire crowd on fire with all that energy. All in all, a great collection of characters. This anime has so much forward momentum. The plot moves effortlessly with no dull moments so far. All the girls are likable. I'm so looking forward to this every week. |

Her sight of relief is cute. ThangLong said: Rin is very sporty and energetic. She would lid the entire crowd on fire with all that energy. She's as energetic as Honoka. I laugh at Nico easily getting tired of running and Rin easily catching up to her. |

| |
| LOL @ the poop hat . Also , why not take in the whole school in u's lol ? |
 |
| As always, cute. Didn't expect Nico to be a good idol at all. For some reason, I read her type as all talk, no results. |
| Pretty good episode, they finally officially formed a club and now have 7 members. I'm interested in what their next performance will look and sound like. 4/5. |
 |
| great ep. enter idol otaku. hope someone doesnt shave their head |
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards. |
| the show just keeps getting better |
| HAHAHAHA OMFG Rin is hilarious!!!! I spit out my orange juice when she stopped dancing and the rain just POURED on her. xDD And that running scene with Nico... This episode was BRILLIANT! "The Poop is Running!" lmao |

| This ep was as good as, if not better than the 1st ep, Nico is definitely one of my favorites in this show, her rash attitude and personality is really fun to watch, that or my obsession with girls with any kind of dere-like attitude XD |

| Watched this episode for THE FOURTH TIME. I wonder what Kotori knows about Minalisky, the super Akihabara idol, and who Minalisky is. |

sirwence said: I now have two guesses:symbv said: me too quite curious about thatI wonder what Kotori knows about Minalisky, the super Akihabara idol, and who Minalisky is. 1. Kotori has a sister that is actually Minalisky. 2. Kotori may have been doing part-time in Akihabara and Minalisky is her secret identity. I think 1 is more likely than 2, but of course there can be some other possibilities.... |

| I think that Kotori is Minalinsky herself base on her reaction. And she really don't want anyone to find out, but we'll soon see. :) |
| haha that's a nice 180 in personality. nice they got an 'expert' now! |
    |
| Looking back on what Nozomi said about Nico being a past school idol before, it makes me curious about who else was a school idol before? I'm guessing Eri and maybe Nozomi were also part of the school group too since Eri has been very negative with the school idol plan. Guess we have to wait till next week and see. |
 |
| Great Episode really enjoyed it from start to finish XD, Nico is a very nice addition to the group. 5/5 |
