More character development. I don't like this episode so much. Basically, Kaoruko is being mean for no reason. I don't like it. At least the battle was good.

Ugh so childish, Futaba clearly deserves better. I didn't expect Kaoruko to have such attitude. So Futaba is a traitor because she didn't decided to stay at your poor level... sigh*

Being honest, this was my least favorite episode. Although the performances were great as usual and the OST is superb, the devopment for Futaba's character was kind of bad... or to say it better, it kind of ruined it... I mean, I was expecting a better motivation. Basically, she's taking part in the auditions only because of Kaoruko and Kaoruko mostly the same, she's participating to fulfill Futaba's expectations of her. I don't know whether I like this conclusion or not. This means Futaba is okay with the idea of just being Kaoruko's partner instead of thinking she's good enough to reach the top by herself.

And not to mention that in the end, Kaoruko, who doesn't take practices seriously, won over her... Yeah, I didn't like that, to be honest.

Most probably is that I'm just overthinking it but yeah, the episode conclusion was kind of bewildering.

P.S.: As an aside note, I liked that both Claudine and Tendou actually helps their classmates instead of taking advantage of the situation. It's nice.

I prefer Futaba over Kaoruko but that battle was nice.
Nice character development. Now Kaoruko gets ready even with helmet on first thing in the morning.

Horrible pointless jealousy crisis, Kaoruko is such a bad character, Futaba too.

I was hoping for Futaba to defeat Kaoroku since she was definitely on the wrong, but the shows seems to like their unequal relationship.

I dunno which episode has been worse, this one or the previous one.

I like their relationship but it's definitely unequal. I was hoping for a win for Futuba, along with a change in Kaoroku. That would've been better in my opinion.

First bad episode of this show, with the resolution feeling wholly undeserved as the lazy, selfish Kaoruko gets to have her cake, eat it too and then some. She didn't want to quit, only tried to leave to kick up a fuss and make Futaba care about her over Claudine again; the fact that she got what she wanted feels wrong and teaches the character literally nothing. Instead, her terrible behavious is only enabled and justified going forwards, and I'm very disappointed that's the resolution the show decided on. Now she can continue to lean on Futaba as if none of this ever happened, raising the question of why it even did in the first place.

Oh, and way to trample on most of Futaba's character development so far by restoring the status quo between her and Kaoruko like this.

i liked Kaoruko from the beginning but can understand why other people don't, especially after this episode. Not bad, but could have been better is she showed more maturity overall.

The less Karen and Hikari there is in an episode, the better it is. This one is probably the best one yet and I loved the previous one too (Karen was important in that ep, but it was Mahiru-focused so it was good).

Why this anime suddenly become so good?

You know, i almost quit watching it?

I really liked that yuri between Futaba and Kaoruko. I liked the interactions between them in general and they really have chemistry which was well shown in this episode.

It was really beautiful and nice yuri, Kaoruko is really cute.

I dont know what happened and why last two episodes were better than all the previous ones - maybe because there was more yuri or because the secondary characters are more interesting than main ones or i just got used to the plot and all strangeness.

P.S. And i love the comedy here. Like, that silence when Maya opened the box and sees there just one candy 😅

P.P.S. Also i really like the ending. My fav is Hikari version, but all the other versions are good too
