Y’know I actually liked this episode. I love animals, especially dogs, and watching Hibiki interact with them is adorable.



Lol I see that the Producer and Yukiho haven’t overcome their fear of dogs yet. It’s so cute how they pretend like they are though ^_^

Ooh, smooth moves Producer. I love how he told off that Jupiter brat and just walked away like a boss.

Unfortunately I have to admit that as a narrative, this episode is really horrible and ruined the reputation built so far.
Childish and silly solving certain problems.
Drawings really ugly.
Posotiva only note is the ending.
I'm sorry for Hibiki, had to be treated better.

The villains are just cringe worthy and i hope we don't see them too much in the future episodes.

And my god are those pretty boy's stupid.

I dont give a damn to Jupiter even if they are brainwashed by that Kuroi guy or whatever. They should have the minds of their own and use them esp. the leader.
And I loathe Kuroi. Damn you. Hibiki could have died in that cliff fall. And that guy with pimples can disappear for all I care, so miserable and hatable.

That hamster slap lol. Hibiki kinda deserved it (I can feel her but she's a pro so.)

Yay for Inumi and the rest esp. Hamzou. And I hope Kuroi is shamed in the worst way possible one day. Damn him. He can dig a whole and bury himself in it for all I care. Such a hypocrite, saying that 765 production is using underhanded means when he's the despicable one inside out. People like him are one of my most hated type.

961 Pro playing dirty pissed me off more than it should've. I try not to think too hard about Hibiki and the animals but this episode was really pushing my suspension of disbelief.

Kind of forgot until I read the first post how this episode opened. I wonder what Chihaya's tragic backstory is. I'm sure we'll know soon enough. This episode though almost entirely focused on Hibiki. Hibiki is one of the dumbest (not as a character but in her very conception) characters in this whole series. But she's also fairly likable and funny. And she was really funny in this episode. If the ending maybe pushed a little hard to get an emotional reaction. I loved the dog pouting that was probably the funniest part of the whole thing.

I'm frustrated by how once again stupidly evil Jupiter's production team is. They're all just smirking, slithering snakes with no humanity or likability at all. And oh boy we have that super annoying plot point. Where even though they're clearly the evil mean spirited ones. The President has convinced the boys of Jupiter, that 765 are the sneaky underhanded assholes. This is too much. At least there was some plot advancement in an episode that was 90% Hibiki. Lets see where it goes.

I was bothered by the animation quality of this episode. I haven't been paying the closest attention but it all seemed pretty quality the whole way through, given you'd expect a series like this would get bankrolled. But it seems this episode was outsourced to a cheaper less talented studio. At least the 961 Pro president is pretty comical.

Fuck that Kuroi dude, of course he has Dio's VA, at least I'm happy that looks like the Jupiter members are just being tricked by him into thinking 765 are the bad people. I would prefer if there was no "evil side" in series like this tbh.

Overall this was an enjoyable episode centered on Hibiki, she needed it, I admit tearing up in the scene where she realized that the poor animals feel sad for the lack of the love they are getting from her since she became more popular, I have a weakness for animals (especially dogs), so that hit extra hard to me q_q

Chihaya's past seems much darker than I had initially predicted. It seems like her younger brother got in a traffic accident and possibly died causing arguments in her family leading to a divorce. No wonder she seems tormented about little brothers.

The constant misunderstandings between our idols, Jupiter, and Jupiter with their producer is driving me mad. I understand it but the shallow nature of the misunderstandings and the zany cheesy villainy is obnoxious. I can't wait for Touma to realize he's being lied to and fight back against evil producer.

And overall this episode was cute and a deeper into Hibiki and her animal family but it wasn't my thing. It felt on the same level as the Azusa episode, just some cheesy and fun adventures. Not horrible but the evil guys definitely made it go down a bit.

Finally Hibiki's episode! One of the best characters was pretty much ignored in the first half of the season.
The villains are ridiculous, i prefer to ignore whole rivalry bullshit and focus on the girls.
Can't wait for Chihaya's and Takane's episodes.

Bait episode. They owe me a Chiyaha focused episode.

Okay episode but mostly boring. Should've been about Chihaya.

After this episode and the previous one involving the magazine cover I'm starting to wonder if the reason Jupiter is as popular as they are is because of underhanded tactics by their President and not their talent.

Hm.. So that's what happened in Chihaya's family?.. I'm not too sure, why parents started to fight after the car accident, though.. But there could be reasons..
Not sure, how idols from Jupiter can think that 765 idols did something dirty in this situation?.. ;D Well, maybe you can think of things, but nothing was voiced except for "they did dirty stuff this time, bubu!" ;P
