Eiko's new song is finally complete with the assistance Kid doing the arrangements. Kabe's battle with Sekitoba Kung Fu was alright, but we knew Kabe was going to win anyway. It seems like AZALEA manager is planning on buying out the competition for likes by doing a surprise concert in Shibuya and their main goal is to perform in the Tokyo Dome which is a huge venue in Japan.

Eiko's shirt is absolutely perfect. 100% straight facts right there



I think that would've been interesting if Kongming actually did reincarnate back into the old world at the moment that he heard Eiko's voice. He would have achieved his purpose in helping Eiko find herself. And now that the task was completed, Kongming would return home, knowing that Eiko was now ready to continue and finish her journey on her own.

My only gripe with this anime is that it appears that this season won't reach even the best part so far in the manga material. I know PA Works hasn't been doing well as of lately, which goes back to the consequences of doing all those hit-or-miss original anime, but I do hope s2 can be possible, even if not in the immediate future.


I think it has a good chance of getting a S2. This anime may be a bit overshadowed in the West, but it is currently trending as the top anime of the season in Japan, according to the Nico anime rankings.

I have to admit. As much as this shows been average since it started, this and the last episode are bringing it up quite a bit. Plus the DREAMER song sounds good.

It would even be better if Turbo gave it the eurobeat treatment.

Nanami looks so empty and soulless, I really feel bad for her and hope she and her band mates can get back to the music that gave them joy. It’s a really clear contrast between she and Kabe/Eiko who have clearly found themselves now, are more confident and having success.

Speaking of success, really happy for my boy Kabe. After everything he’s been thru recently it’s so nice to see him not only perform well, but be recognised by his rival as the better rapper.

Solid episode as always, hopefully next week we get closer to an Azaela resolution.
in the opening she was dancing alongside koumei and eiko maybe she'll join them

Eiko's found her reason for singing and Kid is now willing to arrange her new song.

That was fun watching Kabetaijin and Sekitoba Kung-fu's battle. His reason is to represent the average joes like himself and his friend that got him into the rap game.

I think the announcer for that battle was based on DJ Koo of TRF?


EDIT: Yes, he is, the credits even confirm he's the voice actor!

Nanami/Lezel recently covered one of TRF's songs, too!



maaan...what a surprise I got when saw the DJ KOO and heard his voice...damn! and now I'm with the Boy meets girl song in my mind LOL

Kongming, a man that is perpetually ten step ahead of others, should have already excogitated some genius plan for the approaching showdown with Azalea.
Also, I never really thought about this this but damn, Eiko sure has a perfect pair of legs! It's no wonder she's always wearing short shorts.

Can't believe Eiko was wearing a "MILK" t-shirt. I swear, her drip is so perfect.
And oh boy, the hype is real. Can't wait to see both Eiko and Azalea's performances next week!

Now on a different note, Kongming's "flashback" lowkey scared me a bit. For a moment I really thought we would be getting a random side-plot with him actually returning to the past lol.

After last week's relatively laid back episode, this week was jam packed with stuff happening.

Eiko marching into battle was a great moment.

I'm glad the second rap battle got wrapped up quickly because there really isn't much time left with Summer Sonia just days away. It didn't feel too rushed either.

I don't use comment faces but smug Kongming feels like it deserves to be one for sure.

Plus seeing our boy in his everyday clothes from way back was cool. He really pulls off the look.

Oh man this was so good. I'm literally itching to watch the next episode and hear Eiko's finished song. SO good that had to upgrade my rating from 8->9.

The way this is progressing I wonder if they will show us who gets the most likes by the end of this season. 2 episodes is a very short time, even assuming that somehow Eiko gets 100k likes then still I don't think there will be enough time left for them to show us her Summer Sonia performance. Really hoping for a Season 2 announcement ASAP.

5/5.

Another week, another episode! This episode just felt waaaaay too quick! Things are wrapping up fast and we're ever closer to day X.

Kabetaijin won the rap battle, even when the BPM is slower, I think they're saving his high BPM rap on the actual big day song. The same goes with Eiko's singing. We get to see a snippet of it and several montages of both her and Azalea practising, but the complete length would definitely be during the final big day performance.

Aw man, only 2 episodes left, I'll be sure to savor the rest of this underrated gem of a show.

Karasawa isn't holding back on his tactics on getting AZALEA into Summer Sonia by holding a surprise event at Shibuya while also buying likes so that they can achieve their 100k target. No wonder Nanami looks even more glum than before. =(

Meanwhile, things were looking great for both Eiko and Kabe. The rap battle between Kabe and Sekitoba wasn't as long as I thought it would be, but even at a slower BPM, Kabe took it into his stride and nailed it. I liked how Sekitoba declared him the victor before the announcer finished his sentence while smiling at Kabe.

With that settled, Kido had finished his arrangement for Eiko's new song and she got into the groove of making it perfect. I was taken by surprise when the instant she sung, Kongming got an immediate flashback to his past, which he described as transcending through time and space, quite literally. XD

Now with the title of Eiko's new song chosen, which was "Dreamer", all she needs to do now is to sing with with everything she's got next time. going by the small samples of the song that we heard in this episode, it sounds very promising, so I highly look forward to hearing the full version next time. ^_^

Good episode. Glad for KABE, he has worked hard to come back to the stage and his efforts were rewarded.

Seems like this season will wrap up Summersonia seeing as there's only 2 episodes left. Here's hoping there's a S2 announcement.

That rap battle felt a bit underwhelming though it is hard to pay attention to two languages at once what is heard and what the subs translate. Lol

Wait now Ive caught up in episodes I have to wait a week? Noooooooo... oh well.

This is what I live for (in this season): EIKO blasting our her new songs!

Kabe's rap was slick. Koumei's flashback and mirroring of Liu Bei and EIKO as his master was great.

Also, lol Owner is like EIKO's dad at this point, being worried so much for her. He's done so much for her though. Can't believe he's such a good guy, and he always believes in her too. Wants the best for her. That's totally a dad thing.

Blast out DREAMER, EIKO! Blast it out so hard that Nanami and her friends will be freed from their cage.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT EPISODE! It feels like it's going to be epic with a lot of great music ^^

After watching this episode I realised that I don't really care about what happens next. I wouldn't say this show is bad, but since the first episode (which was excellent) I have lost more and more interest each week. The rap and repetition of that one song didn't help either.
