| Holy shit just causally dropping a bomb at the end there. Haru belonging to another idol group previously explains her exceptional skills. She's already been through what the other 4 are going through for the first time and probably has a lot of experience. The TINGS backstory was pretty great and it was executed very well. We got up to date with the backstory which explained us why Haru is holding back and Haru even admitted to holding back and how if she gives her 100% she'll hurt everyone. I can understand where Haru is coming from and I don't blame her one bit for doing what she's doing. Though it's kind of a slap in the face for Yukine and Momiji, Haru holding back constantly reminds them that they are still not good enough. I wonder what was the reason for Haru straight away joining a rookie idol group when she previously belonged to a big-shot group. Was she kicked? Did she leave by herself to not hurt her previous idol group? I woner what could be the reason. But basically at least 4 out of 5 members reason for becoming an idol is Hotaru's performance, that's quite a coincidence and pretty great. Given how they are showing Hotaru as so good, I hope we get few more performances of her. And what was Yukine thinking lol, she IS cute. Excellent episode overall, one of the best ones. Looking forward to next one. and the anime visual suddenly makes a lot of sense now. |

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| very very interesting !! |
| ...WHAT?! Well, we see what the TINGS group was like from Yukine's perspective. Yukine is the one who helped in everything and also acted in being someone cool and stuff. And Momiji realized that, that she also told her that she's pretty, which she is. And everything was fine, they practiced and it went well their choreography. The thing is that Momiji saw something strange in Haru, she said that to Yukine, it seems that she is not giving all of herself. And when they were looking for her, they saw her practicing in a different way than she was practicing. Yuki-san told them that she didn't show everything because she didn't want to leave them behind, and tells them to join them as rivals of TINGS to prove that they are strong. And back to the present, Haru says that she can't do that and left, Kyouka and Rio don't believe them at all and just appeared Yuki-san asking them the key question, what did Haru do before entering TINGS? She was in another group of Idols, the last approach...she was in THAT group???? Here, many images xd |
| So Haru is too good of an idol because she was from another idol band before and she had to hide her skills which caused Yukine and Momiji to leave to be their rival so she could show her skills eventually... that's kinda weird but it works, I'm curious to hear more about Haru's past now |

| Bruhh, Yukine doing an Itachi for TINGS' sake. In a single ep they've reversed Haru and Yukine's portrayals. It's now hard to label which of them can be considered as the antagonist for TINGS split as they each have a valid reason as to why they consented with the split. If only this was revealed much later as with Itachi, this would have so much impact. Now, that every girl has been the main focus of at least an episode, who is your favorite TINGS member? I love their TINGS hand sign |
 |
| Haru is just too nice. So she's on another level that made the girls feel hurt so she decides to quit eh? And she was chosen to be center too. But even so she hurt the two members, as well when they saw her serious performance. |
| unfortunately, I did indulge in spoilersss before watching this episode and it was all too great when I realised that HY:RAIN was composed out of the lead singers' initials, soo even though my shock factor was like a mini "wow", it still blew me away how the story managed to integrate something so integral. Now I understand Haru better and why she won't take her work so 'seriously'. It was nice to know that she cares so much about her fellow idols wanting to succeed in their own way so badly that she would even suppress her talent to ensure that. eek, I feel like I'm finishing this a bit too quickly... |
