| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh boy, they went all out with that stage performance. Crazy amount of dance moves too. I guess this episode was the chance to showcase what the idols have trained for? Lol. |
 |
| holy shit that was my fav episode (behind the crazy Leon one lol). They promoted songs in the previous ep and now it's the whole 1st album? Wait they said this is the last ep, so what's ep 11 gonna be then? also a funny little detail I noticed is how they always amplify the crowd 'kyaaaa' but in the part of rrrRide On where Rage points up on Daiya's back (6:30 on the CR stream), the part where the kyaaaa's are the loudest irl, it's completely silent in the anime lmao kinda wish they included more of the full group songs (Paradise, It's Show Time) though because I think this is the actual final ep, overall this show is absolute garbage on most fronts, really a 4 -5 /10. However I was not expecting at all to enjoy this group and their songs (which are the best idol songs I've listened to) so for me at least it's a 7/10 |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| ARP!!! The music is so good They said goodbye even with one episode left I wonder what it's going to be like |
 |
| I think this was real last episode. And they confused the special as part of the 11. |

There is an 11th episode, but it's a special that'll be included with the final Blu-ray volume which will come out in August. |
| That ending goodbye song got me teared up. Whyyyyy did I love ARP so much !!!!! |

| Am I the only one who feels a bit shortchanged? Not just because of 10 instead of 11 episodes, but also because this was not much more than a recap. A good 3/4 of it was recycled from previous episodes, including I think all the stage performances. As for the 11th episode, here's my theory. And only a theory. They probably planned to air 11 episodes, but with COVID-19, they dropped what would have been the 10th episode and made the 11th episode the new 10th and final. Since it was a wrap-up, they could use a lot of footage they already had and could finish pretty quickly. Then when life gets halfway back to normal, they'll finish the unaired 10th episode (now BluRay-exclusive special) as @fourteenwings said. I don't remember the reason, but Kokoro Connect did the same thing when it aired. In that case, though, it was multiple episodes that were moved to BluRay, so at least it's only one episode here. They mention near the end how they're all so much closer than they used to be. I didn't really see that. Sure, to some degree they are, but even near the end, they still felt like 3 different units under the same larger banner, sort of like the various units in B-Project or Idolm@ster Side M. I'm guessing some of the footage in the unaired episode helps to strengthen their bonds, and without that episode, it feels to me they're paying lip service to the teamwork and bonds that are just beginning to take shape. |

| I surprisingly really loved this episode. And aaahh the goodbye song was SO GREAT! I really love it. |
| Basically sort of a recap with added bonus to it. Not too bad but could have been better. It was cool to hear the songs one last time tho. |
 「 To other people, I might not have changed at all, but I feel like I was able to change... 」 |
| Basically a recap. Well, the performances were nice. Overall, a pretty average show. Episode 4 was easily my favorite episode. For me, Leon was the most interesting character. |
