My handwriting is like this too xD

Nice to see Futaba taking the initiative to speak out after some advice from Horie, and glad the trio found a way around Ichigo's injury. The manager's reactions and expressions to it were funny. Costumes were a bit too cheesy for me, but I guess they worked.

Performance was great!

This episode have more Idolm@ster vibe than Seiyuu vibe imo. Still, seeing they didn't mess up is always a treat.

Sad to see this series about to end.. I want to see more cute seiyuus doing cute seiyuu things.

Kaibara's melt down was so funny ans unexpected. And I think this is the first time Rin got angry at someone.

Oh, pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness.
Thy actions cause men pain and suffering.
Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins.

Also, I didn't know that the actual author was a girl, much less an actual idol, from an Idol Unit were Yui Horie is a member as well of. It would explain the spotlight she tends to get in the anime (not forced, but still noticeable :p).
I thought that the story was also written by Hata-sensei. Interesting, interesting indeed. Now I have to change my image about the manga as well :p


The author of the manga also does voice acting in this anime. She plays a bunch of small bit roles in a bunch of episodes. She was the audiobook director that one time Ichigo worked on one. She's been a taxi driver, a receptionist, etc. I don't think she was in this episode, unfortunately, or at least I didn't notice her. I thought she was the one who started asking for an encore, but the eye color is different...

Yui Kaori, huh? I didn't know Ogura Yui had shown up (coincidentally, I've always thought that Rin was like her). You mean Hoi Yurie. I don't get why some people are so hung up on the distinction between idoling/seiyuu work. Both are often part of a seiyuu's duties, involve hard work and make for good character development arcs, and, if you care about the characters at all, should still be entertaining. Although the story does tell what it's like to be a seiyuu, the story is still going to pertain mostly to a set of characters whether they're working as seiyuu, idols, or Japanese Animal Video stars.

Also, the unit Horie mentioned is Aice5 which includes the mangaka who wrote this. If fans aren't interested then they could always do a little research. Just found the photo they modelled the anime image off of:



Yes, that's who I meant. Thanks for the correction.

Whoa.. didn't expect Futaba to actually grow a backbone :P

It's really nice how the other two supported Ichigo including catching her when she was about to fall. The last performance was animated nicely too.. better than some actual idol anime even, lol

Sayo's fangirl-ing moment was the highlight of this episode! A true BFF right there.. oh and there's Ichigo's dad too lol.. I wonder if he went and met Ichigo afterwards, I'd like to see her reaction XD

So their first concert was a success after all.
And even Ichigo's father came to look at the concert.
Ichigo being stubborn about her injury complicated things a bit.
But things where solved in the end.

Because of that ending I thought it was the last episode.
This is a quite nice episode, I want to see more of Futafuta, somehow her character grows on me.

This episode was beautiful. The culmination of all their hard work. The end was well worth it. They fixed Ichigo's injury issue, they redid the choreography, had Futaba learn it all in 3 days (no small feat that was). They even found time to record and sell a third EP. ;)

I'll probably end up buying that too.

Been playing the OP and ED from the EP repeatedly for the last 2 months (for the record, the request song in the full ED was Evangelion), it was a treat to watch their seiyuu's sing live. Ichigo's Seiyuu was surprisingly pretty, I never would have been a girl like her would have a voice like Ichigo's for some reason.

Good series overall. I cannot wait to see what the last episode brings to the table.

The thing that really surprised me this episode was that they actually sort-of animated the concert instead of inserting just a bunch of still frames. I guess this episode had twice the budget.
It'll be sad to see this one go, just one more episode.

Glad the drama didn't last long. It was a good episode indeed and the circumstances surrounding Ichigo's injury were pretty well executed too.

And again, although the choreography looked a bit off for moments, I appreciate the fact they didn't use any CGI animation.

That said, I'm really glad their first concert was a huge success.
