Utao!" while smiling, and drawing, and her to maybe start with a bit of tears THEN start singing with that smile. If this would have happened, I'd be bawling right now. T_T;;;;; Yuu actually mouths "Onee-chan" during that scene. He just doesn't have a voice actor. |
| Ah this episode was well worth the wait, but i did think it was a little anit-climatic due to all that overshadowing in previous episodes. For an anime about idols chihaya is the well though character in this series. This change of flow is 100x better than that shit miki arc where she just acted like a spoiled child because she couldn't get her way. ultimately leaving a terrible taste in my mouth and it even made me question with i should keep watching this damn anime. But when chihaya did basically the exact same thing, it down right changed the entire flow of the anime. Next episode we more chihaya and after that im pretty sure thats going to be the best this anime has to offer. Not the best but good anime 8/10 |
DarthVantos said: Not the best but good anime 8/10 I agree....It's NOT the best anime series this season, but it still deserves a higher MAL ranking than it has now. Ranked 2637th?!! Hell, there is hentai ranked higher than THIS show, for cryin' out-loud!! Maybe if they had Giant Robots.....Wait, they already tried that.... And that series is only ranked 313 slots lower than this one!! That's just WRONG!! |

That's just WRONG!! this. definitely needs higher score. i upped mine because chihaya really deserved it. and quite a few other idols, surprisingly. |
| Wow. 62 people score it 5/5. Definitely proves that this is the best episode of the series. |
| Holy motherfucking shit, guys. I found myself rejoicing, whimpering, yelling absurd profanities, almost tearing up, and much, much more throughout the whole episode. That end man..holy fuck, that end. They nailed it when Haruka came out and when the rest followed suit. Then when Chihaya sang..good God. Unbelievable. edit: Holy shit, that poll. :0 |
| haven't watched yet.. bt the song yakusoku touched me deeply... i even shed tears... ;A; |
| Oh my goodness, when Chihaya started to sing I could not help but shed a few tears. What a fantastic episode! |
| Good gawd, 70 consecutive 5/5 picks. |
| So I am the 74th :D |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| 77-5/5!!!! 100% epic! |
 |
| Very touching episode, I loved it. This was actually the first time we've seen her smile while singing. Next week more Chihaya? I hope the bond with her parents will ever get better, but I doubt it. |
 |
| Oh my. That was amazing. That song, that voice, that suffering. Loved it. |
| Well, damn, I didn't expect IdolM@STER to make me cry. |

| Absolutely great episode, been waiting for Chihaya's arc since Episode 4,Wonderful! The best part is when her face just lights up and she is singing out the chorus of the song at the end of the episode. 5/5 |
| Anyone notice how the score for the series has gone up like .02-.03 just from this episode alone? This episode was amazing, and I raised my score for the entire series by 1 point because of it, well worth it. Hopefully it gets more attention and those who rated it low initially revisit and change their minds. This series has been extremely underrated, far less deserving series get way better scores. |

| I signed up just to shout out how much I loved this episode of idolm@ster. If this has not touched you even a little bit, you must be lying. Or heartless. |
| Amazing episode! Chihaya is awesome and I love her even more! |
| 90 consecutive 5/5 on the poll. o_o CRAZYYYY. And the OP is slowly growing on me, even though it didn't premier this episode. |
| 5/5 - 94 votes. Voters: 94. Chihaya, you've captured the world. |
| This episode was so beautiful and emotional and I loved it. I was seriously tearing up at the end when Chihaya went out on stage and couldn't sing but everyone came out and supported her. Then when her younger self and little brother showed up I really started crying, I just couldn't help it. You could tell how tormented she'd been by the accident and his death and once she was able to sing again and smile while doing so you really felt as if she'd finally found closure. This is one of the best episodes of the show in my opinion. |
| Wow definitely the best episode so far. The song at the final brought me to tears. |
| I have no signature at the moment. Cute Ika-musume avatar should be more than enough~ |
ArcrexK said: Chihaya, you've captured the world. Best response in this thread. Who will be the 100th 5/5 voter? |
| Damn, someone gave it a 3/5. lol @arsonal: Your avy..HHNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGg. |
| I hope we see a smiling ang cheerful Chihaya next episode. Lot's of good comments and great reviews about the episode. Lots of people have commented on youtube on how epic it is! Idolmaster is getting even more popular now. |
| My Fav Episode! |
| Finally catched up with the anime. Great show. Only 5 Episodes left (for now - hope there will be another season) *sob* Best episode so far! Great song! Well, now it's 100x5/5 100 is a nice number. :D Amounting to 500 points for this episode. Definitely deserves it. arsonal said: 100th vote GET! :DWho will be the 100th 5/5 voter? |

| T-T crying right now, bumped my rating from a 7 to a 8. I have a desperate need for that song. |

| Damn. This is as close to crying as an anime has brought me in quite some time. Probably not since CLANNAD/After story. Truly a touching story, and what a set of pipes on that girl! Honestly, I'd be perfectly happy if the series ended right here. But luckily there's still another 5 episodes to go. How are they going to top this one? |
| Manly tears were shed. That is all that needs to be said. |

Canon281 said: I don't get why people give Im@s bad scores, how you can do a show about idols better? It has everything Problem was the beginning was slow and a lot different from what its become. Many people simply rated it low and left the series before it got better, hence a lot of low scores are stuck in there that probably won't be changed unless people hear it being talked about and decide to give it a second chance. |
