----------------------------------------
So their big performance happens.

A three song encore though. That takes a lot of effort. Also, it seems Tae had some trouble getting to the stage. Rokka made a hell of an impression with her guitar playing though if you ask me.

This Collaborations Festival is bringing out the best from certain characters.

Damn, when you really badly want that happy ending but you don't get it. :((

Yukina totally wrecks Chu2, it's absolutely hilarious. XD
We did get a Roselia performance instead so that was great. That cold stare from Yukina when Kasumi and Tae reached the venue though. Damn.

Tae needs to figure out what is truly more important to her.

Roselia ED. :O

Good job Otae. You ruined yours close friends presentation, first anniversary event and left the whole fans hanging to make happy an old friend and other ramdom people you don't even know or care about.

Good job.

And just when you think you've got the story figured out, it progresses in a way antithetical to what you think the show is. I play the BanG Dream! game and I know how wrong things go at points, but I wasn't expecting that same spirit to be carried to the show. Moments of vulnerability catalyzed by a character's flaws rather than forces beyond their control

The amount of threads moving all at once is also astounding. Raise-A-Suilen's formation, the multitude of characters they're connected to, the beginning of the peak into Sayo and Hina's relationship, the pages of Yukina's idiosyncrasies slowly turned. Some bands are inevitably relegated to a later date to showcase what they're all about. For the sake of the story the anime wants to tell, like the game, it's emphasized the characters that would make the most sense to tell the story with

...my heart still breaks for Tae Hanazono T_T I feel like Layer knows what's up, Chuu2 is none the wiser, and Pareo and Masking don't seem to care either way

Raise a Suilen was a huge success, a triple encore lol, I don't think I would have the energy anymore to even do 1.

I don't really like Rokka's character because she is kinda annoying with her reactions, I don't know what's up with her personality at times and her voice bothers me a bit but I have to give credit where credit is due, that was an awesome guitar solo.

Roselia is my favourite band so I always love watching/hearing them perform, Determination Symphony is a song I very much like.

Feel really sorry for Tae and the band, I really liked that moment where Kasumi went out to meet her and try and get her to the place on time.

Though I felt that Tae could have apologized the band and left after the 1st encore instead of playing the 3 of them, she gave it her all for them.

Either way next episode should be very interesting.

but at least everything else went well Rokka killed it on the guitar shes godlike and i got myself spoiled so i guess shes gonna go far with skills like that once the glasses come off shes a different person

You disappointed me Tae, I still can´t believe that you've ruined the anniversary of the band with which you have shared so many experiences for a year.
It gave me a lot of laughter as how Yukina cared nothing about the invitation of CHU2.
The school festival started, Rimi, Saaya and Kokoro looked so cute with their costumes, I would love to be attended by Kokoro and Saaya in such an adorable cafe.
The girls of Afterglow looked so cute contemplating the stars in the planetarium, the face of Ran amazed by the stars is pure gold.
Neko Yukina was so sweet how she looks, 10/10 for that costume, Neko Lisa was also perfect.
What a pleasant surprise it was to see the girls from Glitter * Green, I missed them so much.
The second day of the festival arrives and we see how the fun is lived in each corner of the school.
RAS achieved a positive impact on her audience, but the public demanded more and Chu2 agreed to them, but that means that Tae will not be able to reach her important concert.
WOW ... Rokka hit me with her change of attitude at the time she played the guitar, she looks so cool playing that guitar solo, I think Rokka would be ideal to replace Tae in RAS.
Roselia takes the place of Poppin'Party and Yukina looks so cool as always when she sing.
In the end Kasumi and Tae are late for their concert, ruining the anniversary of Poppin'Party and I am clear what Yukina said with that look to Kasumi.
I think Tae's tears were useless at this point, but it hurt me to see Arisa leave and not tell Tae how disappointed she was.
What a sad way to end the school festival, applause for Tae and about Layer, i will not say anything, but she has a great degree of blame for what happened.
Apparently in the next episode we will see a concert of RAS, I hope to see a show of quality, because i will feel more disappointed of Tae if they don´t turn out to be as good as CHU2 presumes.

All in favor to kick Tae out of PoPiPa and have her replaced by Rokka? XD

In all seriousness, out of all days to miss a performance it had to be on their anniversary. Arisa has every right to storm out of there even when Tae was crying. Tae needs to grow some damn balls and say no if she’s doubting herself.

Aya's band looks funny, Hina-Sayo relationship, Rokka solo guitar is good and Roselia always outstanding.

RAS is shit, and Tae cant choose what is more important to her. Chu2 is gettin worst this episode.

I understand what Arisa feel, and the leadership of Kasumi is not good enough.

If Tae choose RAS next episode, its the worst decision from Tae and Popipa maybe will break. Hope theyre ok.

Give me more Kokoro and Hello Happy World timescreen pls! Lol

I’m not sure what to think anymore. Take and Lay played together in elementary school and promised to start a band that me day, so what now Tae is going to just leave Popipa for Chu2’s band where she writes all the same it’s and you’re just a puppet. If she leaves it doesn’t matter if Rookanjoins bc she doesn’t have the oneechan personality needed for Kasumi to grow. I’m not sure where there going with this bc im anime only but this show has way to much drama for me. It also seems like Chu and Lay know there playing Tae for a fool saying she’s just feeling in for support. If this continues, I’m done watching.

When Tae and Kasumi arrived at school I felt something really wrong when see the school barely have any lights.... And the worst is happen... They really give the audience big hope like in S1 where Saya rushing to school, but it didn't happen this time... I'm very sad for popipa atm. Arisa and Yukina silentness really darkened the atmosphere of this ep.

Roselia determination sypmhony is great 10/10
Rokka.... Wtf? Your guitar playing 11/10

Andd cute too see each girls do on the festival, especially the afterglow girls at planetarium (looking at you moca XD)

Overall nice plot and drama for character development, looking for ther resolution next ep

And GIVE US MORE HHW!!

true that...people should note that otae is not to blame here...at the beginning of the episode, saya clearly says that they(RAS) should have discussed otae's schedule...so i say if anyone is to blame, it must be chu2

Well Tae is partly to blame, which is why she's crying at then end because she knows she goofed, but I mean it's not worth all the "kick her out of the band" reactions that are in this thread, at least imho.

This is surprisingly quite an amazing episode that I wouldn't expect from this series.

Unlike most people, I kinda sympathize with Tae though. She obviously still treats both priorities with equal importance. Her intention was never bad, and is to still wanting to improve Popipa sounds by learning and playing in a professional environment (honing her own skills). What's more, her childhood friend whom she promised to form a band with was there too, all the more motivated to be a supporting member to kinda make up for the broken promise. Also, she didn't know the schedule until she's already in it (my guess is there's probably a contract that binds her as a support guitarist, not allowing her to withdraw the concert with RAS. It's a quite a high level concert after all) so she can't quit just like that to attend the festival/anniversary performance.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that she's hardly to blame unless you're already upset at her for even accepting to join RAS as a support guitarist, which she did seek Popipa's consent before accepting it. What happened in this episode is just... unfortunate.

That Rokka solo though.

Other than that, I really liked this episode.
I love RAS and their music, really cool imo so I'm glad that they'll perform R I O T in the next episode.
Also??? ROKKA??? You slayed it hun

I can safely say I've never betrayed my supposed best friends out of pure selfishness and ruined something they all cared deeply about and I was supposed to care about but clearly don't. That isn't a high bar to clear, but Tae blew it anyway. She doesn't deserve sympathy from anyone.

Arisa is almost like a tsundere character while she denies being happy about enjoying their time together, she only acts that way to hide her embarresment.. so it can be seen that she was pretty disappointed for what is supposed to be a memorable concert(anniversary of the formation of the band is a pretty much big deal for them..right?)

But tbf I don't want to make more mess with my electronic devices lol. When my phone's glass break last week it made me devastated lololol

Wow never thought I will hate a character in this series. Ffs O-Tae, I liked you, but how dare you chose RAS over PoPiPa. Why would you join them anyway?? Arisa had any right to be upset and leave without any words at the last part. Worst part, in the next episode preview she’ll still perform with RAS again wtf. I’m disappointed at you O-Tae, I know you will not join permanently but come on, you should’ve refuse.

Aside of that Rokka solo part is so badass though, and poor Aya trying her best to buy some time and really super nervous about it.

I probably would have forgiven Tae if she put up a bit of a fight by at least mentioning her Popipa obligations and maybe that she couldn't stay super late. Instead she gave RAS 100% and Popipa got whatever was leftover, which wound up being nothing. I would probably even forgive Tae now if she realized how selfish she had been and used this as a wakeup call to apologize and make amends, but the next episode prieview shows that she couldn't even manage something as simple as that. Tae is ruined for me, beyond recovery.

Rokka's solo guitar was boppin' badass!

And Roselia's Determination Symphony moment was terrific. The song was a turning point for Hikawa Twins' relationship, and to be symbolized with Sayo playing Hina's guitar... it was simply beautiful. Also yay for Lisa. Though the circumstance was unusual, her wish to perform with Roselia at the school festival was granted.

======

It's ironic how this episode is a foil to Saaya's successfully showed up on time to the school festival (and Chisato during the Girls Band Party).

I'd like to defend CHU2 and the rest of RAS here. Yes, CHU2 was at fault for not checking Tae's schedule before revealing that concert date at the end of episode 8.

BUT from what I observed in this episode, especially CHU2 and Layer's behavior, they didn't seem to aware of Tae's urgencies. Especially Layer, who didn't even mentioned 'What about your band's show?' or something along the lines when they were asked for an encore.

The worst possible case, after the RAS concert's date was revealed, Tae didn't even speak up about her band's performance (maybe she was hesitant for some reason). When CHU2 invited Yukina to her concert and Yukina refused to come due to a school festival, she was surprised. If Tae had mentioned about her school festival, wouldn't CHU2 recalled about that?

At the preview of episode 10, CHU2 was seen arguing with Tae. Dunno what's that about. Maybe scolding Tae for not speaking up and indecisiveness?

Sorry, I can't sympathize with Otae right now even thought I like her. She's partly to blame why their anniversary concert was ruined. She didn't say anything to CHU2 and RAS about her concern. and CHU2 seems to not care about her bandmates. She's way too focus. Even if she tells them, will CHU2 agree? Probably not.

The moment, she wants to join another band, and Saaya's worries where signs it will not end well for them. Being a member of 2 bands is very difficult and result in conflicting schedules could lead to ruining either bands or both. She took more than she could handle. All because she wants to become better.

Well, everyone has a unlucky day in their life and it happened to PoPiPa.

On the other hand. I'm blown away by Rokka's solo performance. No wonder she's called by that name. And Roselia's performance is good. I may not like Yukina's cold personality, but can't deny how good their music is.

Rock can play the guitar even better than expected. I think she's most likely going to fill in CHU2's band as main guitar

Damn O-Tae.. It's sad but she just had to bring it on with that unreasonable actions.. Kinda upset because no one said anything tho..

Yukina seemed pretty disappointed too
