Oh God, it's that idol girl from season 1...

What an episode. So much energy and even Jabami is in her usual mood. Well whatever, this second season still makes some of her past rivals relevant, somewhat. Saotome is still badass as ever.

Uhm, probably this was my least favorite episode so far. Aside from some minor scenes like the one with Rin gambling with the president and the one with Mary and the vice president, the episode felt pretty average. Not to mention that Yumemi wasn't exactly my most memorable character from the first season, honestly, I barely remember anything about her and the idol battle she had with Yumeko.

That aside, the revelation of that creepy girl being the actress Yumemi admires was also very unexpected, but in the bad way. It just felt very convenient for the occasion but well. Let's see how Yumeko will manage to get out of this situation without losing everything she has.

Yumemi mess up this gamble in a big way, who dares to challenge an international actress who shines for her perfect performance?
Let being sincere I doubt very much that Yumeko and Yumemi can beat Sumika, but knowing Yumeko, I'm sure she'll have some crazy idea to win.
Mary and Ririka had their time in the episode, it seems that Ririka still insists that Mary work with her, but Mary still does not trust her and I'm sure the way to that confidence will be interesting to see, also I love how Ririka blushes, she is so cute, I love it when Mary makes her blush. I insist that every time I see Mary angry I love her, her face is so intimidating
I love when Yumemite explodes in anger, her face is deformed in such a way that I can not stop laughing.
Sumika is very beautiful, I love the design of her face, especially those eyes, although Yumeko is a best girl for me and she will always be an indomitable beauty.
The duo of idols of Yumemi and Yumeko return to the stage and compete with Sumika and her spectacular voice, I must admit that I got chills when she sang, besides that moment when everything shines and the audience including Yumeko and Yumemi disappear by that radiance, I knew immediately that they were going to lose that round, it was a crushing victory from Sumika.
It seems that things could be very difficult in the next episode, Yumemi looks very desperate and Sumika seems to be upset with her, also it seems that Yumeko also gets angry with Yumemi.

Any idea when this is getting subbed? It's been like 36 hours now since it aired in Japan and I still can't find it anywhere. The previous episodes took a lot of time to pop up, but this is another level of long.

I expect nothing less from an actress who blows it out the park when she voices Chris Yukine in Symphogear. If anything, that one part was the true highlight of the episode.
Don't believe the hype.

As much as I don't like Kakegurui as a show... that was one of the best song performances I've ever seen in an anime. It's so rare to hear stuff like this in anime, period. I'm so used to just getting catchy pop songs (which are fun and all, don't get me wrong), but this kind of pure vocal talent is rarely seen in anime, let alone in English

Very impressive

I didn't like this episode one bit. For one Yumeko who HATES cheating above agreed to Yumemi's plan. Second, insulting Idol performers. Third, Yumeko is sidelined by that baitch.

This should have been a competition between that baitch and that actress. She thought she could beat A list Hollywood actress by bribing, who is also one of the momobami clan. She must be 1000x richer than a local Japanese idol.

Wonder why Yumeko teamed up with the idol besides the thrill of the gamble. I was more interested in seeing the Vice President gamble and see how she does when it was brought up.

Guess I'm the only one thus far who didn't care for the Amazing Grace song. It sickened me. The vocals were good, the song however has been so polluted by what it's attached to I lost all interest for it and I just cringed waiting for it to be over. If it weren't for that I could of liked it.

Oh man Yumemi wants to pull a fast one on Yumeko, but it kinda looks like somebody brought in some reinforcement to spoil that by letting in an actress Kawaru Matari into the action, but hey. wtf Sumika Warukubami , that Sadako look alike is the Hollywood actress Kawaru Matari????!!!!!

Too bad Yumemi looks like all that bribes were all for nothing, so does his mean that she together Yumeko wer now mittens???

An really Amazing Grace a funeral song , tell me that it wasn't the character's seiyuu singing that.

Hmm that news flash sure was entertaining. 10th place huh Yumeko seems to be lagging behind slightly. Itsuki though is surprisingly popular. But Mary sure is doing really well. But so far seems Kirari seems to be holding on strongly. Wow to think that Sumika beneath her mask and long messy hair is actually a famous actress. Man Yumemi really is being made slight off there by her idol. Ririka sure takes promises pretty seriously. The contest between Yumemi/Yumeko and Sumika sure was interesting in the way that it takes advantage of their unique talents. Sumika's performance sure was amazing. The results for the first round sure proved surprising especially to Yumemi. To think that the quiet Sumika would prove to be so powerful though.

I wonder how this episode will be received by some otaku in Japan. Basically flat out saying that most idols have little acting and singing talent and wouldn't cut it outside the idol scene. Shame the international perfomer is batshit insane though.

I'm sorry Yumemi but there is nothing that can compare to Amazing Grace, you didn't had any chance xD And the voice of the VA was amazing, what a great song.
I wonder how they will win the next 2 performances.

Pretty good ep.

I like how this is a Yumemi centered ep with her trying to best the person she looks up to. Pretty slow paced but its whatevs.

I wish that they'd stop putting cliff hangers. It happened last time with the girls with the red make up and it happened again this episode. I get it's supposed to have a dramatic effect, but it's kinda getting annoying and I'd rather just see an episode where the weekly gamble happens in 1 episode only.

Also I still love Mary. Mary is best girl and I honestly like her way more than the other characters ever since the 1st season.

Wakarubami is Nataru the actress. That explains the mask...

I just cheked Wakarubami's voice actress....

AYAHI TAKAGAKI!!!??? Now that's just not fair! You're making an idol go up against an Opera Singer!!!

And yes, Takagaki knows her opera. She does a lot of English covers. Yumemite had absolutely no chance here.

It was a decent episode. "Amazing Grace" Thanos'd the audience. The idol is probably going to be out of the election next week and I have to agree that her character isn't that great. Best part of the episode was Mary and the VP interacting with each other.

Yumeko will find a way out...somehow.
