| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This episode honestly presents a good chance for Tsumura showcase his skills. It's a fashion show after all and hell, he's got support of friends and family. Reflecting all the events up to this episode, I think this anime did a fairly decent job at building the moment emotionally. Fashion industry isn't easy so they managed to make this feel real as possible. The walks were interesting with the judge's reactions. |
 |
| The moment that mama-san asked for her daughter to hold her youngest kid I knew something good was coming. Loved her calling out to her kid like that. |

| wel that was wonderful hmmm |
 |
| Okay now that his mom saw the show, I allow her to die for the sake of upcoming drama buildup |
| I love that Ikuto's last clothes defied expectations while showing his skill at the same time. I wonder how this is going to affect Ayano's turn somehow since they are using the same theme and Ikuto went first. And I loved to see how much Ikuto's family supports him, but his mother screaming like that was a bit cheesy. I feel like her tears would have been enough, but that's okay. Can't wait to see Kokoro's clothes and how well Chiyuki will shine wearing them! |
 |
| Loved the designs! After the show ended I just immediately re-watched the latter half of the episode and was astonished all over again. Especially loved the Italian lace pants |
| Lovely episode. Damn, all of Ikuto's family's reaction got me emotional. They're all so proud of him for finally going after his dream and when his Mom called out to the end, I was kinda embarrassed but at the same time very happy. I teared up at some parts of this episode, I think when Aoi teared up and when Ikuto's Mom was just smiling as they watched his show. Can't wait to see Chiyuki next. I hope she shows them all what she's worth. I'm rooting for her. |
 |
| I almost cried... beautiful episode |
 |
| Episode was emotional as FUCK! God damn im so proud of my boy Ikuto but judging by the Principal's grades he won't be winning. T_T I liked that he worked his whole family into his work. So good. And when the mom had on the pants he made for her. I was crying again. Chiyuki I think is slightly jealous of Kokoro as well. I still think it should be Kokoro and Ikuto in the end. That "conversation" they had was cute. Kokoro's blushing was really sweet |

| Wow, that definitely felt like 10 minutes max! Fantastic episode! Ikuto's family is so supportive of him, and that's just a pleasure to watch! Honoka and Aoi are both so precious too but the mother giving away her tears for the first time in front of her kids was definitely the pick of the lot for me, got tear-eyed there I'll admit. I really don't know much about clothes but they all seemed to be pretty cool, that annoying lady in the previous try looked a touch bit better though but I suppose unpredictability packs a punch in this line of work too. Ikuto's mother wearing that unprofessionally-made jeans was really sweet too and the contrast between the pieces really amazing, goes to show how much he's grown - now that would make any mother weep out. Looks like it'll be Kokoro-san and Chiyuki up next! Possibly even the star, To Ayano, so a lot to look forward to for next week! |

| man it's so nice seeing how the family has grown, loved seeing Ikuto surprise everyone. Really want him to win this one although it's hard to say given how there's also Kokoro and Too left. Given how that manager was there, my assumption is that Kokoro isn't gonna win it but, she'd impress the manager with her skills and thereby be allowed to pursue designing Still don't get whatever the flying fuck Chiyuki is talking about with the whole 'rivalry' thing but oh well |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| What a wonderful episode! all of the Tsumura family cried! damn! almost cried as well! hehe 5/5. |
 |
| Jesus, this episode truly gave me a mixed feeling : a high amount of excitement with a little bit of stress. It's rare that I get such reactions watching or playing any fictional stuff. A really beautiful 10th episode but I can't restrain myself from being worried Ayano or Kokoro will present something better. Damn, that's a long week to wait from now on ! |
 |
| Didn't like how they adapted this part. I was looking forward to watching the fashion show animated but it was a total letdown. The animation was bad and the fashion show wasn't done the way it was supposed to be. Also the voice acting kinda felt off. |
 |
odinyx said: Gotta be honest here, the clothes are kinda... umm you know, not good. But overall, the episode was great! Loved Ikuto's family. I don't like it either (maybe because I don't really care about fashion much) but yeah not a bad episode |
| It was so immature and cute when Ikuto walked faster than Ayano, and overtook him. The story really knows how to get all my attention. I can't wait to see Kokoro's version. |
| At long last...the Geika Festival to prove superiority and inferiority. Ikuto, Chiyuki and Kokoro, give all-out for their best, and no second chances are given for even minor mistakes. And of course, the invitation's given to Ikuto's family to attend the prestige as well. And now, Ikuto, who has persevered his dream for this long, his dream's about to be realized: on the runway. Impressive and defying the status quo is Ikuto's liberty and expression of freedom on the runway, a magnificence not found elsewhere. And for that, a commendable shout from his own mother. As expendable this episode is, I can't help but feel mixed to the effect of this when compared to the manga. Sure this episode is the best overall, but it just felt subpar, hopefully Chiyuki and Kokoro's show will be a well-fought one. Nonetheless, the vision of the series truly shines with this episode (other than Episode 3) and I can't fault about that. |
 |
| Ikuto's performance was lovely. Unexpectedly enjoyable, even. It was narrated exceedingly well and all designs were intriguing. A trip around the world. I am looking forward to finding out what Kokoro and Chiyuki will throw at the audience. |
| why do I feel all this hype watching this anime |
 |
| Ikuto turn is boring really. |
| Fantastic episode. Really liked how the emotions were handled by adding those flashbacks of Ikuto with his mother and sisters. All of them were so lovely to see and the final scene with his mother calling out to his son after all he has gone through really moved me. Regarding his designs, most of them were indeed kinda "too extravagant" for my taste but still way better than the ones we can see in fashion shows nowadays. I particularly loved his concept of each outfit making a resemblance to different countries (famous places in the world of fashion, I guess) as well as the little details he included in the presentation such as using blue (Aoi) lights, the addition of Honoka's favorite song as background music, etc. It all was absolutely charming if I'm honest. Okay, so now it's Chiyuki and Kokoro's turn. Can't wait to see what this duo can offer! |
| They honestly ruined Kaoru’s final dress that it peeves me. It did not look that plain and was so much more stunning in the manga. :/ I knew the fashion show wasn’t going to be the best since they’re trying to compact so many chapters into just 12 episodes and so many things were taken out and also added in in order to make it seem better, but I was very disappointed that they ruined hers since her designs were one of my favorites. |
| shame they didn't show all of Kauru's dresses - honestly I found her designs to be more interesting than Ikuto's really looking forward towards Kokoro's show |
| I really liked Kaoru's "burning-with-flames-of-passion"-kimono-dress(es)! |
 |
| Aaaaaaaaaaaah, the emotional roller-coaster. Maybe I'm too used to Souma but the reactions were kind of muted, feels like they're setting up the competition to crush Ikuto. |
 |
| Good episode. "I won't lose." "Neither will I." These lines are guaranteed to show up in every feel-good anime. Kokoro needs to lose and become a model. It's her destiny. |
 |
| Awesome episode! This Geika fashion show is interesting stuff. I feel like it's really conveying what this series is all about. Ikuto's show was a success! I really liked how the judges were speculating while the show was ongoing; makes it have more of a contest vibe. |
| Ah... that was disappointing. Lack of budget? I don't know, but I expected the animation and designs to be much better. |
90s J-rock was our aesthetic peak. |
| SO CUTE <333333 My heartstrings are pulled and fraying x'D I knew Iku would dedicate his first fashion line/show to his family :') |
| Pretty emotional there, proud of Ikuto there after all that he has gone through. Curious to see Kokoro's lineup next. |
 |
| It's wonderful that Ikuto's mother was able to make it. The judges are really impressed with his work, including Mai Ayano. Now, I wonder how well Kokoro will make Chiyuki look? |
 |
YandereYuuya said: I agree it was a big disappointment seen those clothes at walmart lol Ah... that was disappointing. Lack of budget? I don't know, but I expected the animation and designs to be much better. |
| Very touchful episode. Man I can't stop nervous while watching this. They bring emotion in this episode very great. |
