Weather was kinda shitty this episode. The episode was alright though with the Kyoto setting again.

I wasn't expecting all out flashy attack in the end there. Pretty catchy stuff this episode with the buildup. And not to mention, we also get band performance this episode too. One of the dudes looks like Dandy from Space Dandy lol

Chiayo able to see other people's memories like that!

Seeing that Mamechiyo and Misa were really good friends that was distorted a little with Mamechiyo misunderstanding.

Didn't expect Momizo? to be such a badass with all the things he did in this episode!

This place they were in was surprisingly really enjoyable with the 3 fractions that seemingly oppose each other yet it turn out that they get along in their own ways! Really just matches the surrounding areas with so many things mixed in yet the outcome is really wonderful!

Mamechiyo's mom was pretty cool to clear the river and turns out that she i really understanding too. Her mother really cleared the misunderstanding up.

The performance was really unlike another other! Explosions, all sorts of sound and music coming together. Shuten really did go all out and ended things with a blast.

Just a really great episode, probably the best so far!

Did not expect to see that the fat guy working for Chiaya's mom was the missing guy in the band....He's freaking badass lol

This episode was probably my favorite one yet....I love the style and atmosphere that this had and the music concert/battle scene was just AMAZING

The Geisha's mom is OP and the red hair guy is a fucking boss....That explosive punch he did at the end was too awesome

I'm really happy that the two friends made up and I found them finding out the truth behind each others's actions as well as their background story in general to be really cute :'')

I really can't think of a better way to express how I felt about this episode.
holy shit that was so cool. i LOVE the animation this show has.
And I LOVED the resolution between the rocker and the geisha. How it was the mothers doing, but not out of malice. The mother just wanted her daughter to fill her role. And the rocker friend understood, but went about it the wrong way.
AND IN THE END IT WAS THE MOTHER WHO EXPLAINED IT ALL.
THE TRADITIONAL MOTHER ISN'T THE VILLAIN FOR ONCE.
idk, i thought that was really cool.

It seems that all those missiles were all that to just make thing more interesting instead of actually blowing up the place. Uniting those two girls back again seemed like it was all planned.
Momiyama is like a ninja. It seems like he was the member of the band who left. His old hair style, though...crazy.
Ending performance was awesome.

Momi-Ham's missing band member working for Chiaya's mom was quite surprising. Pretty awesome, he was!

Mamechiyo's mom was badass splitting the river with her umbrella! Misunderstanding, she caused but a considerate mom, she is.

Wonderful performance, that was, with Mamechiyo and Captain finally making up and singing together. Epic punch, Shuten delivered there!

Good episode, it was. Nozomi X Chiaya, I ship. :3

Using the 500 statues from Sanjuusangen-do to attack Kiyomizu-dera (and revealing what really IS under the stage) was classic.

Lovely episode, again this show is just so much fun. It's nice to see something that has so much joy, and I love the paintings in this series. Its not a "great" animation, but it gets all the small things right to make it absolutely enjoyable and is the one show I most look forward to this cour.

The effects at the concert were fantastic. Those fire rounds against those flying statues was awesomely devastating. Also, Momiyama had some great reflexes while on that carriage-like thing. Lastly, that guy who punched that statue was wicked! Overall, the concert itself was a success with all those effects.

not to mention the album cover for foster the people's 'torches' album. it was kind of funny seeing them in this episode.

the performance at the end did a good job of wrapping up an otherwise mediocre arc. it was nice to see everything resolved in a happy and lively ending :)

This was actually a pretty good episode.

Probably the first episode since episode 2 that I haven't completely and utterly hated.

Not only was this one good, but it could potentially turn this whole series around.

Chi does something with that camera, and it almost looked like a superpower. Chi's mom mentioned something about having to gather the stones before the full moon.

Is Chi even human? who knows.

Rocking out on stage with the shamisen was unexpected an awesome. Once again, an episode of rolling girls exceeds my expectations. Little twists in every episode that you don't see coming, plus awesome visuals and emotional build-up.

Is there anyone who liked this episode that enjoyed the pre-concert stuff, let alone care about the context of said concert? Because when an episode depends entirely on the ending and they don't even give a good justification for said ending to exist other than to look cool, that's not a good thing in my book.

Episodes like these remind me why I love Rolling Girls so much. I love the colourful art, the careless heroes (I lost it when only Ai asked where Chiaya got her magic camera from and how much it would cost to buy one) and the interesting backstories of the new characters.

All of that decorated with powerful insert songs, cumulating in an EXPLOSION of fun and nonsense... yep, this was a fantastic arc!

Great finale to this arc. It was so fun and colorful. Their friendship at the end was nice too.

So Chiaya has a magic camera that can see people's memories, she can change into a squid-looking thing, and her mother wants to collect the stones before the full moon. I'm really starting to suspect she's like an alien or something. Plus the red-headed guy asked the fat guy if he wanted to go to space with the stones. Are the stones from space then? Or from the moon itself? So many questions, too few answers.

One thing is for sure, Chiaya isn't a normal human.

The fat guy was a total badass too.

Can't wait to see what the next arc is, this one was phenomenal.

Wait. Wait. So, that theory about Chiayo being a squid is true?!? :O
Mamechiyo slipped on Chiayo-squid-san! She's a secret infiltrate squid alien!!

On a more serious note, that episode was pretty darn epic. Momiyama is such a cool fucker! :D
''You're still too young to beat me! Haha!''
*Ai click big red button*
''Well, fuck.''

The concert was really great. How to make a crowd more hyped than with big canon and explosions and shit. That's how you make a show (and kill people).

Nice once again the vision of this new episode, storytelling fun and full of color, not to be taken very seriously.
Good quality of the drawings and nothing hurt the sets.
