----------------------------------------
The first half of this episode carried a feeling of despair that I can't shake off...

However, we got an actual performance from the main guys in the finale uniting everyone together under the same feelings. I think it's kinda serves as a celebration for the show/season since the beginning. It seems they managed to capture the world's attention.

No OP. It's time for OP Ceremony performance. Cheering on each other even though not all on the same stage.

That Kaou-kai member who stood on green hair guy feeling a bit of guilty?

NamiDai's character trying to get out. Main guy is worried. Suwabe-san's character came to visit them! Not sure if I missed the last time he appeared, but he has a shorter hair now (short enough to not tie hair).

Pink hair guy can feel green hair guy is acting weird. Not sure why, but main guy somehow can feel where NamiDai's character is (from "looking" where he is when he became depressed).

Not giving up the dream... (Main guy), They cannot be here without their worthy opponents... (Nobu's character). Trying to convince both guys separately.

Performance by Nobu's character's team (the song they've been practicing).

NamiDai's character is bold. He jumped from there (I did thinking what if he did it as a possibility though), while Pink hair guy arrived. Then main guy catching him like shown in OP.

Their turn. It's different song (ED actually). w. everyone including the graduates watching.

Finally the two made up (including the rest of three Kaou-Kai joining with the convincing).

Time flies fast, 3rd semester. This season's Kaou-kai has chosen the next Kaou-kai, the whole troupe?

ED is whole troupe singing Kaou-kai song since they are the next Kaou-kai. Showing main guy after ED... does that mean he's the president?

Final CD are the three songs used in this ep. (also, their team name changed from their senpai's name to their own during these performances) I was thinking what they will add in the final CD when they already added ED song in 11th CD... so they prepared something big!

They really did it. They gave us the best episode. I really missed seeing the previous 2 generations. Otori-senpai's ' Boys ' is amazing. I'm so glad Shiki-senpai could watch the performace and I'm so glad everything worked out well.
AND THE NEXT KAO KAOI IS OUR PREVIOUS 14 BOYS AND THEIR LONG AWAITING KAO KAI SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL IT LITERALLY MADE ME CRY.
SEEING HOSHITANI IN THAT LAST SCENE SAYING ' IT'S TIME TO PLAY ' I WAS SO HAPPY.
NOW PLEASE GIVE ME SEASON 4 I WANT IT I NEED IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so... it's over? I hope there won't be a surprise fourth time they get to run around trying to unite everyone, with even more characters? Especially not with even more mutations, because Hoshitani suddenly sprouting wings was just ... er, idk. But yeah, that's the best I can describe, I think not just this season, but the others as well: lots of boys doing a lot of headless running around because someone or other has to reconcile with someone else.

I still can't remember most of their names. But at least Toraishi finally got a chance to look absolutely smoldering - for a whole two seconds in the closing credits.

While I love Starmyu, I honestly hope that there won't be fourth season. As much as I love the boys, I can't stand another series where we get another batch of people and focus is shifted between so many teams. And tbh, this season was very weak.

As much as I love Starmyu, like I expected it feel rushed and I’m sad that the performance for Hoshitani’s team is just a remix of the ending. But glad all things going well, Fuyusawa and Shiki get reconciled and a little Chiaki/Fuyusawa moment one last time. I didn’t expect this season to turn like this but oh well, it’s okay.
And that ending, all of them are Kao Kai members now!!! Though Shiki said all of second year but we only saw 14 of them xD
If we got a fourth season what we will got...

Well, its over...

Imo its no where near as good as the 2nd series although the 2nd half of this episode certainly had a lot of redeeming features, its just a real shame that there wasn't a "true" all-cast song at the end which I was really hoping for.

Do I want to see another series? I really don't know, on the one hand I'd love to see who the new kao kai is, on the other, I don't want to see more characters that I know I will hate. (Yes, Fuyusawa, that was false imprisonment)

Oh, and wtf was that clock tower scene!? I've got no problem with the characters breaking into a song and dance with a new background, but jumping out of a clock tower? No.

They said the whole 2nd year of ms department (25 of em) become kaoukai but they only show 14 of them obviously because the remaining don't even have VA

In the ending they wear kaoukai coat

This entire time, I was expecting to get a performance with the entire cast, the second years plus the kaokai, but alas. At least we got a performance with all of the second years!! I'm happy and \S★A★T★I★S★F★Y/ with how the episode ended.

I'd be extremely happy if we got a season 4, but I feel like this is really satisfying and solid ending for the series.

Overall I was really disappointed by this season. It didn't have the same 'togetherness' that the other seasons had. The conflict was nonsensical.

I pretty much hated the new Kao council members and never felt attached to them. I doubt that Fuyusawa learned that being a dictator is bad.

The clock tower scene made me cringe more than usual.

The only good things this season were the great voice cast and Otori's cameos.

I'd like a 4th season to see the guys graduate (and maybe an epilogue), but... not if it's going to be a lackluster writing effort like it was this time. Please make Starmyu great again.

I've been wondering one thing from the start of the season. What happened to the other members of the teams led by the former Kao Council members? Akatsuki's team completely disappeared, Yuzuriha's team and Sazanami's team have both been cut to 2 members each. What the heck?

This season was so disappointing considering how much better I thought season 2 was compared to season 1. Still a fun watch though, I guess.

l o l Shiki jumping from the roof ok

this was the worst season by far.... idk how anyone tolerated Fuyusawa.

unrealistic to want all of them to be on the same stage & for all of them to be on the Kao Kai. but I guess this show isn't really meant to be taken seriously. Just glad I got to hear some more Otori unf

They're all part of Hoshitani's class. Back in episode 1, the class was divided into 2 teams, Hoshitani, Tatsumi and the rest (conveniently lol) being one of them, and the rest was supposed to perform something else. They appear in various scenes here and there. They likely didn't play any role because the cast is already huge, so we know they exist in the background but that's it.

Thanks for the explanation. I didn't pay too much attention because they weren't named. You're right that 14 is already a big number. If they were 25, they would be more difficult to handle.

Do you think there will be a next season? I think 25 members are too many for the next Kao Council and I wasn't expecting Fuyusawa to yield on everything at once. I wonder also who'll be the next characters introduced. There would be a lot, counting both the teams of the current Kao Council and the teams of the next council. Maybe next season could be focused on the new first years and the changes to the Ayanagi school.

Hmmm I'm not so sure, that "final act" from end cards doesn't make our chances too high ;A; And to be fair, this season tied up the remaining important plot points started loooong time ago, fulfilling Hiragi and Otori's dream of having an academy that changes through the next generations, thanks Shiki. Whatever is left is bound to be patched by drama CDs as always (unless for whatever reason they decide to change the tradition but that's the worse case scenario ig), and/or hopefully some OVA episode (please give us the answers as to how they even managed that Kao Council haha). That should include the problem with Fuyusawa's decision, but to be fair, Ayanagi Festival was in fall (October in s1 iirc) and they choose the next Council around March/April so he had a long time to think things over. Who knows, maybe he managed to taste healthier rivalry with Shiki off-screen?

I'd love to see all those changes as well though, equal test stage and new Kao Council aside, since it was such a huge deal the whole series. Oh but speaking of, I wonder how they're even planning to go about first years, mostly star teams. There'd be more of candidates from star teams alone than all candidates in previous years altogether?? What about regular teams? But if they were to introduce all of them... well, if they ever make the fourth season, I think I'd just prefer Kao Council shenanigans with first years in the background over bigger cast tbh.

I think this new season is quite good so far. But of course like the previous Kao Kai, the new Kao Kai also has a conflict between them such as different of understanding each other 😌 I'll take that as, well, not a new things. If true we got a new season and there will be new characters, I didn't care about them. All I care about 5 main characters which is Team Otori and that twin brothers! 😆 that's all I care.

Next one is about the choosen new Kao Kai's. I think Shiki talk about the 2nd year of musical department was been choose as new Kao Kai which is Hoshitani and others. That's 14 students. Of course that doesn't include the others. Maybe because they aren't involved with shadow and lights? That's my theory, though.

And now I wanted new ova 😆 about new season, isn't that means I didn't want to but if we're lucky. Furthermore, there's something I want to know. Why they didn't reveal to the other characters about the real relationship between Otori and Hiiragi 😆 I'd like to know their reactions! Don't forget the last episode, we can see Hiiragi was sit next to Otori. That's must be clue that we will get new ova. That's because thinking about it. All of us knew Hiiragi supposed to be at New York/broadway or something like that. And he
suddenly come back to Japan? Is it because he wanted to
see his kohai's perfomance? That doesn't make a sense! So that must be reason or a clue
🙈 just a thought.

Just want to pour out the bulk of my thoughts here~ Pardon for the wall of text ~

Honestly, with how the season ended, it would be pretty hard to have a season 4. All of the 3rd years are now part of Kao Council, Then how will the following Year 1s even get split into teams being led by everyone? Maybe this is the plan to scrap the "Star Teams" format since Ootori and Shiki obviously think the academy isn't giving all students equal chances to shine and develop their potential by segregating them. (Well I do agree on their sentiments). But we all know we can't get the best of both worlds. It would be difficult to have a season 4 with 25 council members where their workloads and dealings with the academy board of directors would be an obvious problem. In addition, the Ayanagi tradition has obviously already being changed/ trash with this decision, so the underlying plot of "passing the baton to them to change the school traditions" won't work out so well, since the bulk of this "revolution is done by Shiki's Kao council generation. That said, I am very receptive to a Happy ending where no one gets disappointed, no matter how unrealistic it is. Hahahahah~ So I do hope that this really is The End of the series.

But this season really do have the weakest story out of all 3 seasons.

The story does not complement the characters and vice versa, the characters really do not fit well into the storylines either.

I don't get the hate on Fuyusawa either. Actions alone, what he does can be interpreted as mean, harsh, bullying(?), etc. And we don't get any origin story or explanation to his actions (actually there's hardly any storylines to help us understand the new characters better anyway.)

But doing nice and idealistic things without an explanation vs doing mean and cynical things without an explanation are just 2 sides of the same coin.

As much as I understand (or not) Shiki's actions, I understand (or not) Fuyusawa's actions too. Because of the lack of explanation in the story plot, we can only assume anyway. But it really is a bit senseless on hating someone you barely know anything about, that is why our MC, Hoshitani, stands out, cause he believes that a person is more than his/her actions and always strives to know more about the people around him.

It is also clearly expressed in the show that all that the Kao council did were under the lead and approval of Shiki. The goals itself were shared among the council, but they all had a different part in actualizing that. Fuyusawa bears the "face" or responsibility of these actions and goals as he is always the one speaking to the student bodies and most probably also the one doing the bulk of necessary paperwork for these. They may both be working towards the same goal, the environments and situations they faced are different. I do not think that Shiki is doing any less work than Fuyusawa either, but while Shiki is able to relax away from the eyes of others, behind Fuyusawa, it gives him a little bit more freedom to dream (be idealistic), while Fuyusawa bears the responsibility of seeing thing through responsibly (be realistic). And then, midway through, Shiki decides to changed plans and for better or for worse, affect the ultimate goal of changing the Ayanagi tradition. I can understand why this doesn't sit well with Fuyusawa, since this changed of plans may or may not work out as to their intended goal, and if it is such an unstable path, the Kao council's effort thus far may be all for naught (in the worst case scenario). Playing things safe and realistic isn't a fault in my books~ hahah~ Further more, at the end of this season, we do see a little emotional outburst form Fuyusawa (luckily~ He's just a 17/18 YO kid man, about time he act like one and be a little free with his emotions). I interpreted his outburst as him always admiring Shiki, but not getting acknowledge (substantially) by him, while he may or may not be doing the things he did for himself or for Shiki. And of course, Shiki did express that he does acknowledge Fuyusawa, which means, not surprisingly, they have communication issues... Hahahha~
Very much like Hiiragi and Ootori, where they both do not know each other's intentions as they failed to communicate how much they want each other by their side or how much they expect of each other.

But miscommunication is a common troupe in many stories anyway~

Even though I do not dislike Fuyusawa's character, I do think some of his actions are a little strange, like ousting Shiki out, when it doesn't change much of how the story was going to proceed anyway. But this is more of a problem with the story plot being weak anyway.

After all is said, Fuyusawa might just purely be a character to just oppose the main characters for the sake of the story plot to further bring out the "Power of Friendship" and "Never give up" ideals of the merry characters.

Okay, now I'd love to see another season centered around this new Kao Council and what they leave behind in their final year at Ayanagi. While this season felt like it dragged on the Opening Ceremony conflict a bit longer than it should have, I still like how everything came together and ended in spectacular Starmyu fashion. As for the performances themselves, I like how Team Hiragi's show was a top notch production while Team Ootori & the gang's, while on a lower level technically, brings everyone's hearts together and keeps the dream alive.

8/10 for all of the fun we had, boizu!

Nice finale with a beautiful performances.

Fuyusawa and Shiki are back to being friends. That's great. :)

Well, the first season was easily the most entertaining. This and the second season were pretty much equally as good, but they just lacked something. I liked the main group and their interactions in the first season and all the funny moments between them.

Also, I think the first season had best soundtrack.

I don't know how to feel about this season.

The songs are good, but not a single one of them feels like a musical, they're all pop songs; a step down from S2.

The story is worse than S1. The focus characters aren't as deep as either S1 or S2, and everyone who wasn't focus faded completely in the background, unlike S2 which handled an even bigger cast brilliantly.

It's not outright BAD but...

5/10 I guess. The music deserved better.

Also, that ending with putting EVERYONE on the Kaokai was just awful and a cop-out.

Ryo is someone I will never forgive. He's the most atrocious character ever. He was showing off that he locked up someone with health issues inside a room in a tower. He truly is the worst. I would have preferred to see the series end with the second season. This season did not live up to my expectations.

If a fourth season is planned. I'll gladly watch it because I won't have to see Ryo again. I'd like to see some of the team members on the Kao council.

Anyway, my rant is over. The concept of a 14-member council sounds good to me. As Kao council, the second years will undoubtedly succeed.
