| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Haha, Jun Toda getting carried more than once this episode is hilarious. Poor girl. However, I will say that having Toda to carry the episode was an interesting choice. I didn't think she'd be able to stand out like that by herself. She's got that idol aura. Second half of the episode got kinda dark though. RIP Yuu. She didn't stick around the show for long but definitely had an emotional impact on Jun. |

| Yuu chan :( This episode like the last two, was heavy on the feels. It's cool seeing Jun's backstory. Despite her sunny exterior she's hiding a lot of pain The girls are her first real group of friends. They of course can't replace Yuu, but they can help fill that hole in her heart. Last 3 eps have been amazing. Wish this wasn't so slept on/underrated. One of the best idol shows for sure. Episode 1 was a bit odd in its pacing and narrative, but it's really its stride lately. The concept of the wall is very interesting and adds a lot to the story. |
 |
| Jun had one hell of a day. They overworked her. Good to see everyone has recovered. Yeah, the second half was dark with the death of Yuu. ;-; |
 |
| damn, the quality has gone up significantly this episode. the drama was really predictable, but the comedy bits of how packed her day was were quite fun |
 |
| Damn that was a great episode, Jun worked so hard in others places and had a lot of fun while doing it. Jun is a great girl Ah man it was sad seeing her past, yuu was cool character. |
 |
| I didn't expected this episode to be that sad, poor Yuu |

| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |
| Best girl gets a true solo episode. |
| Truth is absolute but human perception of truth is always relative. |
| Life is hard. Enjoy your life. Stay positive no matter what happens. The character change from Jun is enormous. She went to full happiness after meeting Yuu. But there are always the sad parts in a daily life....really impressed by her poisitve attitude to manage ALL those works for her friends. |
 |
| This show really makes you appreciate characters more. At the start, most just seemed like generic idol characters. But episode by episode, they're making you care about them, making them seem like real characters. I really love it. |
| The bungee was out of place. Those kind of events are for promoting singles. I'm guessing the roller coster scene and the haunted house were references to Fuji Q which are also best done in pairs. |
| ♪ Niconicorunrun, nicorunrun! ♪ |
 |
| ok what in the world was that coughing? idk if it has to do with her illness or whatever but that sounded so half assed lol and the detail in that death scene was....fukin amazing. Almost felt like I was watching some YLiA type shit instead of some shitty idol show, so big props there. The crying from the mom was done really well |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Definitely one of the darker episodes of the series, Jun has really had it rough, just like most of the other characters, and it's because of the chance that she was given that she's radiant now. It was very heartwarming to see the girls appear at the end, especially after the pretty sad and dark past few minutes, and Jun's "You don't know what i've been through, it was so fun" reference to both her past (having fun with Yuu despite her death), and the busy day she just had getting carried by manager-kun (i forgot his name). |
 |
| Jun really got the power! She worked really hard this entire episode. And she did so well, too. Best girl imo The death scene though... the animation was amazing, and the entire scene left me speechless. |
Barlaxk said: The staff really work hard on the crying scene. It look so realistic. You could see how ugly she is when crying. I noticed it too. :) |
| Koisuru Fortune Cookie <3 That was an emotional episode with Jun's backstory. This show is rated low at the moment but I like it. |
  Once we realize it, everything will fall into place Our hearts calling to the future with all their might We'll move forward, holding each other's shaking hands |
Short_Circut said: ok what in the world was that coughing? idk if it has to do with her illness or whatever but that sounded so half assed lol Same here. When she started coughing in the classroom and everyone looked at her I thought she was faking it to get attention, and made up a whole story about how the episode would be about her overcoming that character flaw. I was way off the mark of course. I usually am. Great episode. Jun was hilarious when she kept smacking herself after the interview. I had a joke ready, when Yuu says that "Injections are like a roller coaster" - made me wonder exactly what kind of stuff they were administering her. But it seems out of place now. Instead, I'll celebrate that smug face when she took out the karaoke card. I thought the ending song (Jinsei wa Waltz) was beautiful. It's such a rare thing to hear a 3/4 time song as OP or ED - especially in idol shows. A small continuity issue:  The flowers behind Yuu turn to buds in that scene. Those flowers are an important plot device in the episode: they reappear in a picture on the wall at the end, and in the ED. I'm a sucker for that kind of details. |

| So it was a bad batch of food! Jun imitating her teammates was hilarious. Then suddenly the flashbacks and crying scene and i'm suddenly holding back tears... |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| Its difficult to be a stand alone idol, specially ifnall the group is sick. Fun Fact. Jun and her friend were singing an AKB48 song: Koi suru fortune cookie if you want to know the title. Fun fact 2. AKB and 22/7 share the same productor. |
| Underrated show and another great episode. This needs to stop flopping in Japan. |
| So it was a case of food poisoning, leaving Jun Toda the only healthy idol available. What a way to issue the leadership role to someone else. Such a cheeky girl, trying to take advantage of the situation, but deep down, she's not just (yet) another girl of troubled past (frailing health). Despite her circumstances, trying to imitate the others in their style whilst being chased by the Wall's Orders in her usual forced genuine smile is the norm. That's pretty nice for someone who's supported by another patient (Yuu) through her ailing recovery. Trying to be leader seems esteemed in her blood trying to finish as many of the Wall's Orders as possible appearing last episode, and she masters it well despite concurrent issues. But Yuu's death shatters and shudders her heart and soul to the core (and mine too) whilst a full recovery is made. A miracle of coincidence? That can't be so for Jun, but she made solace with "receiving Yuu's life" in exchange. One of the more darker yet surprisingly great episodes to date. |
 |
| damn this episode really hit me hard when yuu died |
 |
| the reality of this episode was dark and i was hoping it wouldn't go there but it did and it sucked Jun is a pride of joy and this episode did the best at showcasing it compared to last weeks. rest of the show could shit the bed by the end but for now a lot of people are sleeping on this which is a shame it sure as hell isn't the typical idol show and it seems idol fans prefer things like love live over heavy drama focused shows like wake up girls and this |
 |
| "She's always happy? I bet she has a tragic backstory to explain why." ^Literally my thoughts early on before the flashbacks began. How right I was. |
| My favourite episode so far. Jun's also totally become my favourite girl >///< |
 「 Now Watching 」 「 原神 : 800993232 」 「 SV-Mirage 」 |
| One of the better episodes indeed. Jun-chan so kawaii. Well, she sure had a hard life before joining. Sad that her friend died. For sure, Yuu would have been happy to see Jun become an idol. I'm getting used to the weekly drama by now. Ready for next week's dorama, bring it on. :) |
| How'd the art/animation get so good? Solid episode all around, really. |
 |
| well that was a bit of a shocker! sad to see the cheerful hospitan friend of Jun-chan passed away. Jun-chan handled it by herself like a pro! 4/5. |
 |
| 1/5 this episode .. very salty episode |
| This a beautiful episode, Yuu totally was idol material. Wondering if the manga covers her condition with more depth. Salty? What |
| Work hard Play hard xD. |
  |
| I guess it's just me, since there's a 93%+ of 5/5 votes, which is pretty amazing, but I didn't like this episode more than any other previous ones. Also, couldn't get emotional at all 🤷♂ I guess I'll go with 5/5, but it wasn't better than any other episodes IMO |
 |
| I love Toda Jun now, before i just ignored her but now i get it why she has that positive personality. Its like every ep, every member having depth in their character. Fuck fuck I hate this kind of scenario which a person died after leaving a great memories to you. RIP Yuu, you will be not forgotten. Also poor Toda, attended all the event by herself but she handled it impressively. Shes really good in entertaining other people 5/5 episode One of the best ep |

| I knew this was gonna happen from how this episode started but it was still sad to see it. |
 |
| I feel so proud to actually know that AKB48 song xD |
 |
| Oh wow. It's been years since an episode actually made me cry. |
| Damn. That Mom crying was brutally real. Even though it was predictable and generic, it was impossible not to get some feels hearing that. |
 |
| @happyhellhound Nice Toga avi and sig! Saw this coming a mile away. Anime always has to go the most depressing route, huh? Can't just let the girl live... |
| @Mormegil Thank you! She my waifu for laifu ;3c |
