THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Suwabe-san's character stops coming to school and their performance place has changed. Probably no one would see them perform because of their rival team bumping time. lol @ scary shuumai story. lol @ shuumai bento for everyday. Shuumai as star (as shape is star). Everyone gradually "goes separate ways" as Hosoya-san's character in movie with his father, another goes to musical audition, and Maeno-san's character has part-time job.

Hanging out just the initial two of them according to couple date featured of the magazine. Chinese restaurant featured second time this season (first was DwD). lol @ 3 of rival team members (the three that don't especially consider rivalry) wearing shuumai dogs (because the two owned their debt). lol @ shuumai dog song/dance. Everyone tried not nentioning about Suwabe-san's character in front of main guy because mentioning him would make him sad.

Then their practice as IN song this ep.

Nobu's character actually understands main guy's feeling, too, and gave him Suwabe-san's character's email address.

Main guy dealing with his feeling seriously next?

Seems more like a chill episode.

That weird song with the guys in those funny costume made me laugh more than expected for some reason though. The amount of feelings expressions that was reflected in the interpersonal dialogues seemed legit.

Scary Nayuki is my favorite. I'm still waiting for his sisters to be added to the character list.

It really was mean of Otori to just leave them without saying anything.

Pretty enjoyable episode. One of the things I like about this show is that they don't dwell on drama for too long, so it's always fun to watch.

Nayuki's character change was so cute this episode... and I loved the Hoshinayu date! It was nice seeing them going around Yokohama as I've been there a couple times and could recognise places :>


2 episodes left to go, I'll be really sad when it ends. If fan speculations are anything to go by, maybe hopes of a 2nd season are not lost. For a simple 1-cour anime you don't usually see cafe collaborations, 12 weeks of CD releases, and an official fanclub. They're also doing an all-episode screening event at the end of the season with more goods to be sold.

Importantly, there is no way Hoshitani and gang are actually getting into the Musical Department by the end of this season so it's possible that from the start the staff were planning for this to be 2 seasons. Edit: Scratch this, my memory failed me on how the selection process worked. But I think there's still room for the story to develop. It really depends on the BD/DVD sales go so I think I might just buy it and hope for the best.


Anyway, for everyone who's a fan of this show, I want to recommend watching this amazing fan made MMD. I've only replayed it like 50 times today. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm27726728

They seem to be slowly drifting apart from each other, but hopefully Ootori's absence isn't going to discourage the team from doing their best at the audition. And that 'Bow-Wow House' dance lol.

I hope you're right. BD/DVD sales look like they'll be fine. Not amazing, but alright. Well, it's a bit hard to tell since female oriented shows get lots of sales from Animate, but it's been ranking well there too.

Wow, is it really getting cafe collaborations and the like? I saw some new merch on twitter but I didn't think it was that popular.

I so hope for a second season of this anime. The characters really grew on me and it's as if the anime was growing as it went on as well. At first, I liked it, in a goofy way but it was kinda bland. But now? Heaven forbid I say that!

They made me cry at 2 o'clock in the morning! At the part where they were remembering how Otori senpai called them BOYS, and how the absent senpai reminded the strong points of each one of the BOYs.

Ofcourse this episode had some fun moments aswell. Like the part where Naiyuki scared Tengenji with that silly story! Or the part where everyone around Hoshitani & Naiyuki were couples!! :D

I like the bond between Hoshitani & Otori senpai, which everyone else seemed to be noticing in this episode. The fact that they didn't talk about senpai so Hoshitani won't be sad, and even Tatsumi from the other team giving senpai's mail addres to Hoshitani, were all so sweet.

This episode wasn't the same without Ootori-sama. I miss hearing his "now, boys.." :(

I noticed Ootori-sama's theme song played a couple of times during the parts when Stardust were thinking about him. I loved hearing this composition again because it reminded me of him :)

I hope Ootori-sama comes back if Hoshitani speaks to him, because he is the ray of sunshine of this show :)

I'm really glade they got the outside stage, I just feel so satisfied by this.
Nayuki confirmed to be a total yandere though.
Can we please talk about the fact that they just randomly danced outside, Like they have no shame at all. I would be embarrassed just singing/dancing outside

Lol, didn't expect for Otori to suddenly disappear. The whole date + their time at the restaurant was enjoyable, and their interactions feeling more natural. Decent episode.

I just can't wait until our boys perform and blow everyone away. How dare they underestimate them! They shall rue the day!

lol totally knew the guy in the dog costume would be Inumine. Love that guy.

Nayuki's badass scene was awesome. bless.

Also seems like everyone knows that Hoshitani x Otori is canon.

That's actually the ending to that ghost story, lol. I remember when my sister told me that shumai "ghost story" when I was younger, and then when she told me the answer to the story, I laughed so hard because I was tense the whole time.

I liked the song they performed at the end, it's nice to see that they're still moving forward and not letting it get to them. I wonder if they'll know what really happened.

Loved the Bow-Wow House dance omg. Probably the dance I've enjoyed the most so far in this series :P

I miss Otori-senpai too much. I wasn't sure I'd survive this episode, my heart kept aching.
I wish he will come back and be able to see his boys perform from the outdoor stage.

I kind of hope so. Although that would be weird af, despite the 'date', Nayuki is way too good for Hoshitani.

Anyway, Nayuki and Tengenji were adorable with the Shumai story. Inu guy was great but the other 2 from that group were decent in this ep too. They should drop the other 2 and make a trio.
I guess I'm the only one who didn't miss Otori one bit and especially not his "boys".

Nayuki's scary shumai story was brilliant but that date was something else. Just how clueless can Hoshitani be. But it was cute how they didn't freak out and act all grossed when they realized it, a lot of shows like to add homo subtext only to then have the character act offended when their possibly being gay is at all mentioned.

Not going to lie, I'd rather the Random Song of the Week had been the Shumai dance routine as opposed to the usual 'yay!' song at the end.

Kuga, you can't just casually drop a line like that... He probably meant it in a platonic way because nobody else reacted, but ๅฅฝใ can also mean "like" in the romantic sense soooo hey.

Too bad Ootori/Hiiragi won't happen since they're brothers. Dammit.

Also, they need to stop acting like Ootori died. He's just MIA for a while, he's not dead. This happens a lot in anime though so whatever I guess.

Maaaan I'm feeling it. I thought they might have a falling out with Ootori's absence, but this just helped to strengthen that sense of camaraderie that's been building up throughout. The end scene was very heartwarming and oh my goodness, that ost knows exactly when and where to show up. And can I just say how incredible it is? Seriously, soundtrack of the season no competition. Loved the uppity track that was playing during Nayuki and Hoshitani's "date" as well. Lol @ Hoshitani's reaction to it, "Oh that's why it started feeling like a date halfway through." No unnecessary BL hints or embarrassment.

The date was super cute. Then, the Dog Restaurant part was really fun. Then, the very last part really impressed me, the visuals, the lyrics and the choreo! I felt teary eyed. Great show. Will rewatch in the future.

Pretty fun and chill episode, but I can see Otori's absence makes everyone a bit sad.
