Heh. That baseball match at the beginning was hilarious.

Nijo wants to become prime minister. Whoah.. He was some big goals for his future. Well, I wish him luck.

Lol at that spider scene. Poor Daiki and Izumi. xD

Nice performance from LEGIT.

I love this anime and all its characters. My fav scene was Akira spewing lines of his fav show, and Banri tagged along. It was adorable! (Something I would do) Looking forward to future episodes!

Oh I love the baseball anime at the beginning, set my heart on fire.

I can feel Legit's alluring aura, the song is quite sexy.

Too bad for the 3 weeks delay, the pandemic really change everything and it's unlikely that it'll return to the old normal in this year.

liked this anime so far, it seems most of voice actor are kinda newcomers, but they're really doing fine and I really like the shows .. the only thing which I dislike about this anime is the 3d dancing!

This episode proves that music anime unites people.

The song in the end was good tho! It gave me kpop vibes. The lyrics were kinda questionable, but... I liked it!

Agreed. The CGI for the dancing is a bit subpar, I almost considered not watching the show because of the opening dancing scene xD glad I decided against it though.

well i'm not a fan of that anime he was watching lol also, wouldn't he get penalised for hitting someone, even if teammate?
mom wants Daiki signature to put in the bath house, smart lol
they are in the same school and the same workplace, but for sure they are faaaaaaaaar from being friends

being part of the same company they even get to see the live concerts, not a bad deal
and... also hearing all the fights the guys have everyday LOL they both have valid points, but for sure the big guy has a better argument, what's the point of perfecting one song and then having all the rest as bad, when you can have every song on a good level instead?

they met the glasses guy in the restaurant, he hasn't been paying for his food lol one day he will be rich tho so it's ok?
he wants to become a person with power, and the top one, prime minister is is goal... for that he needs millions of supporters, and a possible way to get those, being a successful idol ... at first it sounded random, but it makes sense tbh lol

LOL they were having such a serious conversationm but out of nowhere Akira started to shout a scene from his favorite anime HAHAHA the other guy ws so confused but he ended up smiling, probably because he saw the 3 are already getting closer

they knew each other from dancing in the same company sicne they were kids, people thought Kaiko was not working hard at all, but they didn't see him working hard in the middle of the road lol they're both aiming for the top, so they quickly became close
lol i wasn't expecting them to use the same scene with them in the same spot in present time, interesting of them to meet there

the boys were tying to concentrate but, the 3rd group randomly appeared and made a lot of noise, tbh i couldn't stop laughing when the guy gave him a spider toy hahaha the green hair one even fainted

time for the actual concert, there's a lot of fans lol
that song tho "everybody get stupid" HAHAHA
there's some interesting angles, the camera never stopped
Akira went running, for a moment i thought he would invade the stage, but he just went for a different angle by being downstairs like most of the fans

in the end he got his sign, yay mission complete, mom will be happy :D
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices)

The 3D mocap rotoscopy is great....its setting the standard.
Albeit the mocap, so it looks like they traced the physics, especially the clothes in, essentially like tracing. Straight up rotoscoping, but overall the sentiment looks like its not going too well, call it being lazy, if Cloverworks dont make it more 2D, like say Sunrise (see Superstar Season 2 OP animation sequence for just one example)

Its the 2D to 3D shifts and framerate, yes, very jarring and provoke that awkward feeling...I think thats where the negative feelings of the performance arise from, but if you look at the movements, physics, cinematography, choreo its brilliant...if they make a whole music video of just this performance (none of the story bits) and put it on YT, where the masses may not realise that its from an anime, admit it, people will rave about it.....I had also just watched Selection Project, where episode 6 had good 2D for their performance, then a jarring 3D mocap performance for the last episode., felt very disappointed, and it felt cheap, like run out of budget corners cut cheap.  The movements/3D rigging dont seem as realistic as Uniteup's.

The concern now is if Cloverworks can sustain to the end of the run.

People want consistency. I want consistency. Go full 3D like Sanzigen and Orange or make it all 2D and try to remove as much of the 3D as you possibly can like Sunrise. Anything in between, even 95% either way, will feel janky and awkward and no one is happy

Wow the dancers they got for LEGIT were just as amazing as who they got to compose the song, tied with Akira's song from ep1 end credits for me. Episode wise, whoever is doing art for backgrounds and landscape deserves tons of commendations, scenes look realistic. And lastly, loved all the idols.

Good

Thanks!

And I also note how positively people are praising the choreo, camerawork, and mocap graphics in the comments section.

There's a discussion in the main forums, about the use of 3D CGI, which I referenced this episode and performance. This is a good example of using CGI. I wondered if Cloverworks made the whole show CGI like Trigun Stampede....hmmmm, wonder how the community will take it.....Afterall, Orange and Sanzigen pulled it off....it may be difficult.

3D was good(?) as compared to some other animes but it still turned me off so much;( it felt like watching a cutscene from a game instead of an💥epic💥 anime perfomance due to its incoherent style

Even this ep doesn't focus on him, in some way, I honestly fall into Akira. The way he smile at last is so adorable.

Dammm, given the production delays, I watched the Ep 3 3D CGI performance again and felt sad. Its very good, it has real time shadows, and possibly ray-traced reflections (?) and but given going back to the conventional 2D-ness, I really do not like this inconsistency.

If you compare it with Sanzigen, especially the Wow War Tonight performance from D4DJ First Mix episode 1 as the best comparison...and yeah, to rub it in with a 2020 anime show, I wished Cloverworks just made the whole show CGI.

I can see where Eishirou is coming from; there is no such thing as "true perfection" and Daiki will very likely crumble if he hyperfocuses on being perfect all the time. However, Daiki does have a valid argument. 
Superstar, prime minister or whatever goal it is - you won't reach the top if you're settling for "pretty good" or "good enough". That won't cut it.
That being said, I liked their song.
