Welp, and the guys gather to train (kinda?) somewhat away from the usual civilization environment. I think the place gives off a more natural feeling. And hey, they look like they are having fun to recording it so they don't forget these memories.

I expected them to have a summer camp like the previous group but damn, that was just as boring as the previous one.
Sharing dreams just for the sake of formality, it won't be surprising if they fail to achieve them.

Meh episode as always.

Another boring episode. I now know not to set up any expectations for future eps of this show now.

That aside, I like the beginning where the Shacou was watching the video. But it kinda misled me to think the predecessors are gg to appear...

I also like the song 'ein never never' but I rather listen to the tv size version of the predecessors singing it in the ED.

And, I think this is an unpopular opinion but Tomii's voice is quite annoying. The seiyuu shld never play cheerful characters. And it irritates me that the new group copied what the predecessors did by filming them playing with the fireworks and telling their dreams on camera. It was much cuter when the prev grp was doing it. It totally doesn't work with the new grp imo.

So many "aw" moments. Hell, this was my favorite episode.
(I guess I'm in the minority on that one...)
Shun singing Never Ever though <3 The ED was adorable.

I loved the deja vu moments mixed with how they made their own memories in the camp. As unrealistic as it was, I adored that Tomii said they would fulfill both the old and new Shounen Hollywood's dreams. Even if it's not possible, I think that it fits really well with the whole theme of the series.

I feel that having known about how the current Shounen Hollywood has changed (aside from Shun and will we ever get a Shun episode?) made this episode all the more enjoyable.

Awww that "Bitter chocolate ver" of Never Ever. So pretty and calming yet with a slightly sad tone to it.

Kakeru's "dream" is so relatable. It's not anything specific, but it's like something I would say. Although he's probably having a funner time than I am haha.

And yeah, where's my Shun episode >:(

Count me in in this minority! haha. Yes, I also love this episode. Its nostalgic and I love how the Pres is just watching over them. I like the early morning recording too! This episode is kinda cheesy but I really like it. Nice ED too.

Acoustic + Shounen Hollywood = BLESS <3 We need more acoustic singing.

Anyway, this episode totally redeemed last week's awkward singing. Really liked everything in this episode, with the summer-y feel, friends bonding, camp antics, and "think about our futures" theme going on.

I predict that I'll be in tears by the time we reach the last episode..

YES OnoK singing the ED. Such a good choice :) His voice matches this song a lot.

A group bonding episode, too bad they couldn't really go about the actual training, but we see the results and the important fleshing out of the characters for who they are.

It's not bad by any means, but it's more emotionally engaging, and showed a bit more optimism than i thought it had. But also manages to stay grounded.

3/5 Nothing special in particular, but good enough for relaxing.

Amaki's secret was hilarious.

Poor Kira.

This episode was a lot better and I liked the recording scene. Ono Kensho's voice was nice in the ED.

I like this version of Eien more than the poppy one, actually! They should sing more acoustic and ballad~
