Iyashikei anime of the season.
| @OG_Otaku I don't get that remark. Do you use iyashikei in an ironic way, because I wouldn't call the experience these girls are going through or the tone of the anime iyashikei-like. |

| ABSOLUTE CINEMA. |
| That was amazing. Very emotional. When I picked this up, I wasn't expecting this kind of tug-at-your-heartstrings content. I really hope they make a S2. |
 |
| I can't believe how good this show is... |
| Gosh I'm bawling my eyes out. This is truly the Girls Band Cry. |
 |
| Just when the girls didn't think they'll get any popular, a talent scout comes after them: Golden Archer's Miura Shiomi. Subaru personally knowing Miura's talent agency, which they soon learnt that she doesn't like the new Diamond Dust and instead sticks with Momoka's music, she gives it a try, wanting to harness her music further. But Nina having her mother finding her at the place where the girls work, and also her dad waiting for her at their doorstep, it certainly is a surprise for siad girl which her vibes with her family didn't pan out ever since she became a runaway. In a similar manner, Rupa encouraging her to go seek her parents in Kumamoto, even Momoka chides on her not wanting to face her family. For the first time in a long while, Nina faces her family with all tensions on the line and not being able to be the conflict-avoidant person that she really is. Even more, her father dragging her to school to clear up her bullying incident from prior, as the girls all worry about her at the same time, it looks as if that Nina had just all but given up fighting against tradition for her utmost freedom. Her mother comforting and consoling her that she still is loved by her family regardless of what she does, that's what family love is. And the strictest in the family, her father may be an educator, but he's also an avid supporter of her band's songs listening from time to time. A double pinky promise instead of the badass middle fingers, Nina is ready to make her dreams come true with the band, completing the lyrics for the song. Nina finally got the closure she needs, and it's a much-needed great one. |

| Nice Nina development with her coming back to her family and eventually seeing that they care about her and all, it was heartwarming |
 |
| Family will be family no matter what. Rupa's sure popular with the girls. |
 |
| OK I just need the canon reason for why everyone wants to take pictures with Rupa Another Nina ep? Just give me that damn Rupa developement already! She cant be the only one who gets none! This shows well how beeing in a bad mental state twists your reception and hurts people around you. Once she was really down it was probably too late for her family to support her, because she would hear none of it. Good thing they got it sorted out now. This was almost too easy tbh. The school giving in now was really convenient, the way they were before they would have doubled down and blamed Nina, using her rebellious phase in tokyo as prove. PS: I have to say anime really makes bullying seem like a war crime, I guess I just got lucky in my schools but the stuff people do on TV ks plain assault sometimes and not "bullying" as far as Im concerned |

| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| damn this episode was peak, that convo between Nina and her sister talking about the family hit hard especially when Nina was talking about how she felt about her life after the bullying; it was very nice seeing the parents reconcile with Nina |
 |
| That fckin curry is spicy out of nowhere man... I felt like I needed to hear that |
| This one was really nice, it got dark during a few parts with Nina’s past coming back to haunt her and things not going so well with her parents, but in the end it all worked out, Nina’s parents aren’t as bad as they once seemed, they just want her to be happy, I like that Nina’s dad even gave that Diamond Dust song a try, not sure if he truly liked it or not but Nina just hearing that he liked it must’ve been nice, me and my own parents’ music taste often align but sometimes it doesn’t lol, couldn’t get them to like The Tubes like I do. But now that Nina’s situation with her parents is solved, one of her original reasons for going to Tokyo in the first place, she can now move on with her friends/bandmates, it was cute how Momoka was planning to go get Nina if she didn’t come back lol. And lastly, we got another Rupa scene of girls surrounding her, but I’m kinda surprised there aren’t any dudes among them, I’m certainly all over her lol. |
| Very beautiful episode. Rupa is great, 3 episodes ago Tomo told Nina about Rupa's past, and she really didn't give a shit, but now is exactly that what made her go see her parents, yeah, Rupa is great. Idk man, I think Nina is overreacting yo everything, I get she is mad af with him because he made her ignore the bullying, but Nina's dad actually looks and acts really damn chill, he doesn't raise his voice or really gets mad, her mom too, they really are just worried and want the best for her, that's why they were ok with her leaving at all that. AND HER SISTER IS PERFECTION. I hope after this episode Nina finally begins to change for good.    |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |

| An emotional, family-focused episode, with some good moments. Especially liked that imagery of Nina running down the hallway and then falling through the sky. But once again, it feels like Nina just got what she wanted, without much self-reflection or compromise. Call me old-fashioned (or just old), but what Nina is doing IS pretty reckless. It would leave most Japanese parents absolutely mortified. I don't think Nina gained an understanding of what exactly her parents are thinking and what they're worried about. Other than the fact that they love her very much. I get that she absolutely needs to do this, and she literally cannot live without it. But it would've been nice to see them actually talking stuff out and learning about each other. Maybe I'm demanding too much from the anime, or maybe it's too much to ask from a teenager in a single weekend. And I know conflicts with parents can take years or even decades to resolve, if at all. But in the end, they mostly just gave up and let things lie, and we just got a mildly heartwarming goodbye. |
| ive been putting off watching this anime for a while, binged up to ep 10 and holy fuck i bawled my eyes out this episode |
 |
| This was my favorite episode so far. As much as Nina tells others to not run away, face their problems, and be real with each other, she has those exact same issues. It's not because she's a hypocrite or anything, but because she knows how avoiding your problems makes things worse, she doesn't want others to suffer as much as her. However, everyone's situations are different, and confronting your problems could inadvertently make things worse. It's why Nina ended up backtracking on getting Subaru telling her grandmother about her feelings regarding acting. There's an alternate universe where Nina's father still stubbornly asserts that he was right. That would have gotten Nina to completely sever ties with her family. Would that have been the right thing to do? I can't say as an outsider, nor can i really say as a viewer. I'm glad it worked out in this instance, and I really like how Nina's father isn't necessarily changing his mindset, but is at least questioning his philosophy on education and child bearing. He's not saying that Nina was right to move out or quit school, but he's acknowledging that he had a hand in the resulting state of affairs, and is questioning why and how. I really think there's no right answer here, just the answer that makes the most amount of people happy. There's no way to change the past, there's only options to continue living. |
| "Immamo watashiwa ichiban skii"🥲❤️ I judged Nina family too harshly. Most times parents always wish good for their child and support them no matter what. They weren't different. Happy they made up. |
| this might be a perfect episode of television |
 |
| Honestly for some reason I didn't quite get things how they were presented. It felt like contradicting things due to what Nina's dad was saying versus what she was saying where it felt ambiguous on who was viewing things closer to reality than the other. It made some things have less impact on me. |
