| This was pretty much the grand finale for Eiko as she goes on stage to prove to herself, Nanami, her manager, and to the whole world. All the buildup led to this episode and tbh, it's inspirational to see how far she's come. At the same time, it's great to see Nanami regain her confidence with the group and in herself. When it comes down to it, music and performance is much more about who wins and gets the most votes. Glad to see everyone with smiles and Kongming remembering everything he's been through with Eiko. A fantastic finale to this anime imo. 8/10. |

| FOR THE VERY LAST TIME: Chan X Chan, Ai! Chiki Chiki Ban Ban! The Battle of Red Cliff or Chibi, the penultimate war remade modern into Shibuya's 109 with Azalea and Eiko's new song "(Beautiful) Dreamer" debut for the first time that touches even the hearts of Azalea to finally unmask themselves, and reach the 100k likes goal to earn a spot in Summer Sonia. Congratulations, Eiko! But Azalea's not over, for their performance unmasked...didn't really set their fans on fire, but instead to Eiko and Kabetaijin as their raw selves on stage. It was a risk showing the real Azalea, but Kongming absolutely paid their efforts by also returning the surpassing of the 100k likes and earning new fans in the process. Key Time's Karasawa has been beaten woefully left and right, and even if Kongming painfully depicted his issues, he's brought back to the limelight to repair his and the Reborn Azalea's relationship. Truly a tactican whom graces towards frenemies, and the Battle of Shibuya 109 being the modern Battle of Red Cliff. Kongming's Plan for Peace Throughout the World - Volume 1, OFFICIALLY CLOSED! And Eiko in DA building, rock out party people! What a surprisingly great show, save for some which didn't bite. Definitely the dark horse of the season by a long shot! |
 |
| The end. Never teared up so much over someone gaining so many votes LMAO. Well that’s their objective in the first place and the songs were hitting different and the best way to wrap up this series, need a full version rn. Eiko and Nanami’s performance was one of the best in this series that it has to offer, well the animation quality may not be the icing on the cake but there is something that shines in the direction while they were singing with the over-the-top and wacky background, the zooming in and out, lighting, etc, just what captures the craziness in the whole setting. Liang remains one of the best tacticians out there and the accuracy for whatever he reminisce is dependent but it’s something so engaging imo and will miss him and everyone else here :( 8/10! |
| 9/10 Top 3 of this season |
  |
| Congratulations! Eiko! It was a superb performance. In the end, real music won over money power. AZALEA has returned to their old way, a band. That was very nice. It's their real identity and it was something they should really do. btw, those two AZALEA simps were super annoying. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Now I wonder how much money the spend in that guerilla live overall, to Kongming get a gaming chair setup. Karasawa is just a person that end justify the means. I wonder if will have another season, I need to see Summer Sonia. This episode would be perfect if that leotard creeper didn't appeared. |
 |
| Great episode! Eiko singing beautiful dreamer was awesome! She made all the band members of Azalea cry and I'm happy they will go back to what music they enjoy now! Eiko got 100000 likes! Azalea also surpassed 100000 likes! Seems Karasawa isn't as bad as he seems... And he also used to be in a band! But was betrayed by one of the members. Azalea ask for him to produce for them again! Hope we get s2! Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Damn they really went all-out with this finale. It wasn't just Eiko passing but even Azalea got their very welcomed freedom too. No loose ends to leave with, in other words. Didn't expect would end up liking it this much, will miss this one for sure. And more so that opening song. |
 |
| Great series! While the first few episodes of the series were definitely better I still really enjoyed the series a ton. The music in this show is absolutely amazing too, I've been repeating the OP and ED like everyday for the last few months now, such a bop. 8.5/10 for me! |

| What a phenomenal way to end a music show of this premise. I can't express how much love I have for this show for its artistry. |
| What a high quality final episode! 8/10, pretty good show. BTW I recommend read the manga because the later arc are much better than this arc! |
| A solid 9/10 for me. Pretty decent songs and overall an enjoyable show. |
  |
| i really enjoyed this Anime it was really out of the radar anime of the season 8/10  |
| Definitely going to miss this show, it had so much absurdity and a strong sense of identity! Kongming using one of his famous stratagems to not just get Eiko but also Azalea through was a work of art, what less could we expect from him? Owner's reactions were priceless. I was thinking Kabe Taijin would add on to the track but I suppose his role was just for aggravating the crowd this time, lol. And why no ensemble between Nanami and Eiko? I was certain they'd include that. Karasawa-san belonging to a group before and playing the antagonist role for the sake of Azalea wasn't exactly obvious but I suppose I should've seen it coming... End of just Volume 1 of the World Plan? Yes please, we want to see Volume 2 in the form of a Season 2! Loved the ending sequence with the quick recap followed by Eiko going on top of the stage. Overall, this has been a pleasure to watch! It's hard to argue that the first few episodes were more enjoyable and the some of the episodes in between felt too fast but, as a whole, I think this still deserves an 8/10 in my books. Op & ED were both top-tier, going to miss them a lot. Also, I heard a few tracks from 96neko before but consider me a fan from now on, xD. |

| I like how Kongming is wearing a sash that says “I am the mastermind” lol. Also, he's sitting in an Acer Predator Thronos. |
| Pls pls pls give us more. Though it's possible a second season might just ruin the gem that is this show. Will remember this show for all the banger shows. 9/10 |
| Both Eiko and Azalea's songs were beautiful. I'm happy for Eiko, she reached the 100k likes. Glad for Azalea too, their song reached their fans. Really liked the anime, hopefully we'll get season 2. |
 |
| Started off great, but kinda dragged on in the second half due to less Koumei and the introduction of that rap dude. I'll give it an 8/10. |
| Second half of this series didn't grab my interest and enjoyment levels as much as the first half but this was still a pretty good show overall (way better than all shows the previous season) and this was a good episode to wrap up this season too. It's the second P.A Works anime I've rated kind of positively besides Shirobako maybe (although the movie for that wasn't too good). About time. Good choice for this to be adapted and the efforts put by the staff were commendable for sure. Edit: Dropped the anime score to a 6 from my previous 7. Reflecting on the second half and not feeling much interest from that and then reading the manga recently and not really enjoying the story that much to where it's at made my feelings on the anime dip a bit. Still better than the manga because of the production and music, but a decent portion of the series being pretty average at best and reducing my enjoyment does have to be reflected to the score imo. Manga ain't bad either but it's nothing special, which is a shame, since the hook and start for this series is great. |

| Man another great PA Works show, sad to see this one end. |
| An emotional finale. o (╥﹏╥)o Not only Eiko, Koumei, Kage and co. achieved their 100k likes, the Azalea band reverted to their original selves, and damn, even Karasawa turned a new leaf. So Karasawa was in a rock band before, and he and his band suffered the same way as Azalea band. Their music wasn't enough to sell well, so they went to grab an opportunity for success, even if it's to change themselves and forget their passion and fun. v(ಥ ̯ ಥ)v The Stratagem of Alienation is indeed a plan that will make a sacrifice. From the previous episode, it seems like it's Eiko and Nanami's friendship that will be sacrificed. Good grief, Koumei held back after hearing Eiko's music. Good to see Koumei realizing that he can make a plan to succeed, one that won't need to make a grave sacrifice for the sake of success. Salute to you El Melloi II Waiver Velvet Zhuge Liang "Kongming" (￣^￣)ゞ Can't wait for Summer Sonia, sadly there's no Season 2 annoucement yet ｡ﾟ･ (>﹏<) ･ﾟ｡ |
 |
| This was a very solid season. I also did a review on it. Feel free to check it out. |
| Eiko dad in case anyone missed |
|
| I'll always miss bopping and vibing to Chan X Chan, Ai! Chiki Chiki Ban Ban!!! This show has been an unexpected and underrated gem! |
  |
| "Dreamer" is a beautiful song indeed! And Azalea was great as well! Even though EIKO will be performing at Summer Sonia I think the real winner was Azalea for finally going back to their roots. And this time they might become more popular than they were before. Great series. I originally only started watching this because of the OP going viral and then I stayed for... everything else? At first, the show puts focus on Kongming as the protagonist but the real protagonist is Eiko and I think that's why I loved this show as much as I did. She's just so adorable. It's hard to not root for her. The side cast was excellent too, especially Nanamin despite being introduced quite late into the story. There better be a season 2 cos the story's just getting started. |
| The emotions behind that final performance were so purgative and really touched my heart by all means. The 2nd half of the series did suffer quite a bit due to the number of cutting corners in production, but it was still engaging enough and this conclusion was a great way to wrap up things up at least from an anime-only perspective (though for me personally, the best parts from the manga have yet to be adapted). 9/10. Definitely would be higher if production was a bit healthier, and far superior to most of the stuff from the past several seasons including this one. Hoping s2 will be possible, but the way it wrapped things up, I wouldn't be too mad if this is the last we'll see of Paripi Koumei anime-wise at least for a long while. |
 |
| I thought that Kabe was gonna have a bigger role in the fight.. and I wish Kongming had more influence with some additional stratagem Nonetheless this is a solid wrap-up for the season! Kongming is best boy and Eiko is best girl. It was quite a cute show :) |
 |
| While I really enjoyed the story and characters I can't help but wish it was more but oh well. Biggest disappointment in the last episode is that Kabe did not sing with Eiko at all. Really hope they'll sing together later. Overall solid 8/10 |
| Orginal, fun and didn't suffer from a lackluster final episode like so many other one cour series. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| It was one of the best anime, the music was too good |
 |
| this was just so meh The plot was full of nonsense a lot of the way, but this last ep was a culmination of it all |
| This show was unique for sure, but holy...OP was such a bop. 8/10 show for me. |
 |
| I enjoy it till the end. It is a 10 for me and i really wish it get a season 2. |
| Sad that this is the last episode, but all good things come to an end. Eiko finally performed her song "Dreamer" that brought everyone together and reminded Azalea the reason why they became a band in the first place. Ya Boy Kongming also did Azalea a favor by rebranding them as Azalea: Reborn featuring them playing the music that they want to play and they sounded really good. This was more than enough to convince Karasawa-san to produce Azalea the way they are and not by his previous experiences playing in his old band(I wonder where the other members of his band are at right now, there seems to be more to Karasawa-san's past). I enjoyed this series as this being my favorite for Spring 2022 and as for someone who is currently playing in a band(Steelband) right now I can relate to some of the themes that were addressed in this show. As for the possibility of a second season I would say there is a 70% chance it might happen since this show is popular on the Japanese streaming charts. I also seen some Eiko and Kongming cosplays. Despite all this it is hard to determine how popular this series is without knowing how many copies the manga has sold while this show is airing to convince Kadonsha to green light another season. There is also the question if P.A. Works is willing to do another season as well. Whether it gets another season or not I will be buying the manga since there are seven volumes are out right now. I encourage everyone to do the same if you really like this series to support it. 9/10. |
 |
| ROCK OUT PARTY PEOPLE, I really liked this seasonal and definitely think it deserves more spotlight. The only gripe I have with this finale, and many others alike, is that it just seemed like Azalea's likes "paused" after reaching 99k. Surely they have normal followers who see it in their feeds or online which would increase the like amount. Just seems nonsensical. Either way, great show 9/10. |
 |
| Really awesome episode, great series though eiko's song could be better lol |
