@Marinate1016 I hardly disagree here. Mahiru warned Kano, she tried to find out the truth and she explained properly her motivation. Kano, on the other hand, was right during the whole situation in her previous unit but this time she behaved like idiot: refused to explaine the situation with her mother and what really happened and after hearing Mahirus decigion she only blamed her with betrayel and made a scene insterad of, once again, trying to actually talk out the situation.
I am sure it will turn out that Kanos mokm is a big bad and the girls will mend things up because this how it is by the tropes. But I will ber really disappointed if Kano just gets forgiven without any redeeming arc and Mahiru will be pictured at fault here.

| This episode went crazy, Yoru, Kano and Kiwi are all such compelling character's. For me personally I'm invested most in Yoru I can relate to her most cause I myself like drawing so she really resonates with me. I'm curious to see how this goes next episode. Such a good story. |

Letterbox effect just hits so different in episodes like this. Masterful use of direction and cinematography. One of the most gut wrenching episodes I’ve seen recently.
Finally got Kano backstory and the world doesn’t deserve her. The way she idolised her mother and just wanted her acceptance while her mom couldn’t even be bothered to show up to her class on presentation day just broke my heart.. most parents would kill for a kid as pure and obedient as Kano, and her mom only cared about using her to further her career, gross.
Mahiru rep took a major hit in this one for me. She’s gonna have to redeem herself. Came off very snakey. Mfs are upset about me saying it, but planning all this stuff with Yukine when you know she and Kano aren’t on good terms and Kano has had some family issues in the past is very snakey to me! Yes, I get that she wants to advance her own career and grow to love her art and herself, that’s very valid, but I’m not working with my best friend’s mom who I know she has beef with or at least aren’t on good terms. It’s just messy.
And even during Mahiru and Yukine meeting you can already see signs. Like when Mahiru brought up Kano and she’s like “oh you mean Nonoka” she don’t even see her daughter as a person just as a commodity or product. Just like she sees Mahiru’s art the same. Calling Mahiru “sensei” and gassing her shit up.. she’s not slick man 💀 she’ll turn on you just like she did Kano when it’s no longer convenient.
The other thing for me is if you really feel like you doing nothing wrong, you wouldn’t even feel the need to call Kano and get her blessing. The fact Mahiru did that tells me she knew this was something that she probably shouldn’t be doing. Kano was clearly skeptical otp about it too 🤷🏾♂️ do I think Mahiru is a horrible person? No, but she did some snake shit. But again, respect to Yaku sensei for creating a situation that could very much happen irl because girlfriends can be messy as hell.
Talked about all that and ain’t even get into Mero running the YouTube expose page. That’s so fucking gross and Kano was very justified for punching her in the face. I’d rather lose the right way than win the wrong way and kano clearly felt the same.
Now Kano did say some nasty shit at the end to Mahiru but you know, Mahiru deserved it 🤷🏾♂️ and Kano was just desperate to not lose the only friends she’s had. After seemingly finally escaping her loner past and developing relationships now she sees her closest friend potentially drifting away from her with her MOTHER of all people, the same mother who when told her daughter’s concerns about not having friends or fitting in just brought up her dream of selling out Tōkyō some. ofc she’d snap.
Could go on and on about it but it was amazing, didn’t even touch on everything I want to but I’m on vacation and need to go to the beach lmao. This episode fucked me up though. 10/10 as usual from my goat Yaku sensei. If there’s ever a Tomozaki s3 and 4 it’ll have stuff like this too.

| @Marinate1016 I can see why you'd see Yoru as snakey this episode asking kano directly about her mother was insensitive but she did apologise after. I don't blame her for wanting to take the offer from Kano's mum. Of course she wants to improve herself I can really relate to that as I've practiced art a fair bit. I do feel bad for Kano absolutely but I mean I feel if anything I feel like she was more insensitive this episode. especially with her outburst at the end. Although its understandable. Considering the whole thing with her mother. But she really shouldn't try shackle Yoru down imo I seriously love how this show is going so far though. I'm curious how it will turn out next week. |

| Well that title drop came at a bad time |
| This episode has got me sitting on the edge of my seat. I'm tearing up from Kano's backstory and my heart just aches. Can't wait for next episode T^T |

| Woah, this episode really surprised me. Yukine is really evil, she wasn't interested in her own child at all, she used Kano as a tool for success. |

| @Marinate1016 I'm surprised to see you say Mahiru's rep took a hit. She's only doing what's best for herself, she received an offer from a major group to do a huge project, one that could make or break her actual rep. Meanwhile Kano is over here insulting someone she supposedly idolizes. |
 |
| Incredible Episode, deserves a 10/10. Kano's backstory is very well-written, it's really sad to see how the innocent and kind-hearted Kano can turn out like that. I hope Mero's career falls like what she did to Idol who she ruined their careers. Mahiru wants to develop more and that is her goal now, she accepted an offer from Kano's mother but, Kano didn't like it and hurt Mahiru's feelings by saying "Mahiru...Yoru, you're just a jellyfish can't swim, aren't you?" that line is very painful to hear. And the ending with Flashback Kano calling Yoru's name made me cry again. Truly an anime masterpiece this season.  |
| She turned out like her mother in the end. |
| I really think they rushed through the setup for this episode. They really shouldve dedicated one entire episode to Kano's flashback and have more time to show Mahiru being led on by the big bad mom to really emphasize the fight at the end. Tho the first three episodes went fast af too so it's not really new to this anime lol Still the best episode by far imo. Really hope they use the remaining episodes wisely and that they don't fumble the ending by speedruning Kano's redemption with Mahiru and skipping over Mei and Kiui (as they have been doing for most of the series) |
 |
| Damn I was not ready for this episode, why did they have to break my heart like that.. Rie Takahashi is such an incredible VA |
| Drama time!!! Now I wanna see how this will all end |
 |
| Well that was depressing... I dont blame mahiru for taking the job, thats a big opportunity, and i dont blame kano either. She's worked at this for so long, of course she's frustrated. But at the same time... Mahiru broke the promise, and kano saying all that hurtful stuff to her :( heartbreaking. Was a good episode but got me feeling... A little conflicted. Lets see where they're trying to go with this. (also, great performance all around from everyone here. The staff all did an amazing job this episode. Especially Rieri's voice acting here is so good!) |

| It's a really good episode, probably my favorite overall. |
 |
| This episode brought a major problem from her past. It won't be easy to solve it from this episode. 😔 |

| Kano was right for punching Mero. She is wrong for lashing out at Mahiru. I understand she doesn't want to be left alone but Mahiru did the right thing by consulting with them all about taking the job instead of just doing it behind their backs(Unlike the two bitches from Saenai.). Next week is gonna be rough. |
| I think it odd that two people that had grown so close over a period of several months had not discussed (1) what a manipulative tool Kano's mother is, and (2) the reasons Mahiru lost her confidence in her art. If they were so close, Mahiru would understand the reasons Kano wouldn't want her to work with Kano's mom, and Kano could emphasize with Mahiru with wanting to be accepted as a good, if not great artist. I love Yaku's work, but I think he added unnecessary drama to the plot. |
| "Genki is Life, Genki is Love" |
| Seems a lot conflicted opinions on how delicate the drama has been handled this episode, and probably the whole series as a whole. Personally, I think this show has gotten better and better as it has progressed, I found it very forced in the beginning, but now I'm not sure it it's because I've finally tuned in on this series wavelength or if the drama is just handled better. I also realize that the character relationships have progressed so much, internal drama hits a lot harder now for sure. |
| Christ, right at the start of pride month too. To make matters worse, that ed, the director really knows how to give a death blow. I can definitely understand both sides, as a friend and being part of the same group working towards something, I would definitely be hurt too. but from an outside perspective, this is a really really big opportunity for Yoru, plus she doesn't actually know yet what went down with Kano, Yukine and the sunflower dolls. Not to mention, Yukine really knows how to move someone with words. Yoru is also looking for constructive criticism, Kano was not able to give that, but Yukine did. We know Yoru has always had low self esteem, so I can't really fault anyone in particular. Masterful episode, they cooked, they also cooked our hearts. Terrible moms are the bane of Yuri. |
 |
| this just keeps getting less interesting as it goes. drama feels too forced, especially toward the end. |

You even pointed out a few things I didn't notice. Very disappointed in Mahiru. I hope she ends up changing her mind. Yes Kano should never have said what she did at the end but after that horrible rejection from her mother that she idolized she is terrified of losing her new group, and especially Mahiru. |
| Ho-ly fuck. This show is so good. That credits sequence at the end was amazing. I've rewatched it like 7 times now. |
 |
| Best episode of the season... maybe episode from year until now... man i gave no expectation for this anime but it give me one of the most beautiful story telling of the year.... |
| Sport Club Corinthians Paulist is the biggest football team in the world. 51 is cachaça |
| Isn't working on a new group with friends making music video ground up from zero to big in this world more challenging than corporate backing with huge stage? You literally have more professional support plus the director backing which will guaranteed more successful when they also targeting the whole world as well, how ambitious. Many people really ship between these two but beside few cute yuri moments, I really can't feel the strong bond that they have at all and it shows here. They didn't even speak openly within the group regarding any issues or problems that they face as a group. And yet they indulge on all sugary fluff service in the last two episodes. At least the prevous one is decent in showing the concert even if it's kind of weird to be postponed for some time. I know they try their best to make me care but I just don't really like this type of drama at all. So in the end she choose corporate success than her friends, how cute. |
