| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp so we get a bit of flashbacks this episode about the guys specifically Hiragi when they began their interest in dancing. A bit of it has a solemn like feeling though..especially with the separation. Sucks tbh but that's life I guess. Quite a serious episode this time, I think perhaps the most serious one of this season so far. I think that music video has quite a bit of feelings behind it. |

| lol @ shaking. Though Suwabe-san's character is sad, because he already heard their decision. Showing past when Hirakawa-san's character became Hiiragi from Ootori... so they were really brothers and not just cousins? And how Suwabe-san's character looks like in the past... really looked like the one main guy admired. Does that mean? And the instructor was that brother of one of the members' main team. He left the team after first performance because he wanted to be free. The two's duet this ep. about always on separate way even though they always want to hang out together. He told the main guy the "correct" way to that dance... And that notice after ED... Shumai ep. next? |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| I never thought I'd feel like crying from watching Starmyu (other than from laughter anyway). I did see this whole Otori quitting for the team's sake thing coming from last week's episode but that was really a sad back story :( The song was good too. I guess the older Tsukigami will come back to set things right eventually. |
 |
| Tsubasa-kun Tsubasa-kun, from where i'm standing you're the selfish one. Like you honestly just wanted your brother not to be true to himself just so he could be like you and yet you won't even tolerate your brotherly bond. Really you're calling him Otori even in private? But really you can see how his strict/abusive childhood shaped who he is. He's clearly terrified of failure. But that family is messed up. You rip apart siblings and they literally NEVER see each other for years? Why can't they visit more often? Disgusting. Poor kids. Glad it turned out they actually were brothers and not cousins though :) I like Otori without his glasses. |
Them shaking their bodies after that drink was actually a brilliant solution lol.  Man, so Otori is really withdrawing from the Council for the sake of his team. =( He's a true senpai. One thing I'm not sure about, is Otori that high schooler Yuuta admires or is it someone else? They seem to have the same hair color.  |

Same person. ....Is there any given reason for their separation? We know they're brothers, but were they blood brothers? Was Tsubasa a Hiiragi that got adopted by Otori's family, only to be taken back to the Hiiragi house? So freaking confusing. |
The sun is a deadly laser |
| last scene where they're dancing was so gay- but so cute- i love it. |

| The shaking part made me die. The teachers finally have their past revealed and somewhat confronted. Liked how it went back to Hoshitani practicing what he had seen of that student when he was younger. |
 |
| I used to dislike Otori but now he's one of my favorites. I liked the part when he looked like a noodle. btw, why haven't the Nayuki twins been added to the character list? I want to add them to my favorites. |
Did not notice until this part that they had the same two hairs sticking out and the same bangs direction. I think they're twins - it's pretty clear they're actually brothers and according to the official site, they share the same birthday. |

Was Tsubasa a Hiiragi that got adopted by Otori's family, only to be taken back to the Hiiragi house? So freaking confusing. From what I understand, the Ohtori family is a minor branch of the main, Hiiragi family. Which is why they were living as a family in a normal house, apart from the mansion to which Tsubasa is later taken once the main branch adopts him. As to why he was adopted (and borderline kindapped, actually), we do not know. Perhaps the main branch failed to produce a proper heir, or maybe said heir went rogue or even died (although this final option is less likely). At any rate, the whole Tsubasa/Itsuki thing was surprisingly poignant. Seeing Tsubasa falling apart like that injected a dose of well handled drama. From what little we see of his upbringing it must have been truly stifling. But seems more like the education of a conglomerate heir than a prospective professional entertainer. Hoshitani shows an amazing lack of insight as Itsuki almost telegraphs to him that he was indeed the student he once saw but that is to be expected. And Akatsuki is coming across more and more as a creepy yandere over Tsubasa. Considering that Itsuki actually helped him when they part of the same team, to act so viciously comes across as both petty and ungrateful. |

| A lot of family drama in this one |

| The drama actually wasn't too awful given the basicness of this series. I'm surprised :o. Also, I feel like I can guess the last episode now. They're totally gonna end up doing a performance at the festival on that stage. Either that or somewhere else outside, but that makes the most sense. They'll end up performing there, but they're disqualified since Team Ootori aren't participating in the festival, but they'll win the most votes of the students and they'll reconcile at least somewhat with Team Hiiragi. Then there'll be some emotional scene between Ootori and Hiiragi where Hiiragi realises he fucked up and just wants to stay with Ootori, but Ootori's like "yeah I still wanna be free though, and I can't have that following traditions -- so let's make new traditions together!" or something along those lines. If they don't perform on that one stage I'll be super surprised, anyway. |

| The Otori-Hiragi real relation is even more complicated yet best duo. Too much emotions I cried, I can't without Otori not after I'm so in love. |
| Ach... the insert songs was so cool! Love it! |
    |
| So they are actually brothers :O but tsubasa was brought to the hiragi family :( The song was cool, they will fill the whole out side spot now with more than 1.5k people XD |
 |
| So much love for Itsuki, sobs <333333333333 |
 |
| Wtf was up with that bad animation while Otori was doing that weird movement. He woulda looked less creepy if he'd kept that old hairstyle. Have to say I was expecting this show to be more love liveish and focus on the main characters. I just don't really care about the others. The insert song was okay but the ending was gay/cringey. Really hope the last few eps pick up. |
| Finally, a new episode dedicated to the anticipated back-story of both Hiragi and Ootori. We find out that they are blood brothers and not cousins :O I was moved by the beautifully composed OSTs that played throughout the Hiragi and Tsubasa scenes. As expected, Suwabe and Hirakawa did a great job with the deep dialogues and it really hit me in the feels. To be honest, I felt more sympathy towards Ootori than Hiragi. Ootori was always a lone wolf and chose to live a free spirit life (the total opposite of his brother). I could also sense his loneliness and desperation of wanting to be radical in his musical approach. I'm beginning to like Ootori now, I want to know more about him because he is still a mystery. The back story felt more focused on Hiragi than Ootori. Ootori always saw the good in Hiragi regardless of what happened in the past, which is an admirable quality imo. I also noticed he’s the type to keep his emotions hidden by putting on a front (not in a bashing way) I loved the performance at the end. I don't think it was “gay” or anything like that because there is a deep message behind their story. However, I did feel saddened by the fact that there is still an invisible wall between both brothers. In my eyes both Hiragi and Ootori are princes and cinnamon rolls, that need love This scene completely blew me away (my favourite one so far). It felt like I watched a scene from a film drama |

RIPPING TWINS APART IS THE GREATEST SIN (besides, you know rape and murder) |
| OMG they were brothers but got separated due to reasons Cried my eyes when he "Stand by Dreams" played OMFG T___T Tales of Graces F Feels T_______T |
| That was sad shit. Actually, I feel really sad about Ootori because he didn't left Tsubasa alone, there was probably nothing he could do to oppose that old man. Yet, he has been blamed for years. So unfair. I felt really frustrated at this whole drama going on and it pisses me off how that orange-haired bastard with the others managed to convince Tsubasa to remove the Ootori Team. Oh, and that last scene. I was internally screaming "gaaaaaaaaaaaay" |
| So they are brothers after all? I don't understand all of this about the Hiragi and Otori families daaaym >.< |
 |
| the backstory wasn't too bad, though i don't really understand if they're really brothers or not and why hiragi was taken away. oh well. |
 |
silverwalls said: the backstory wasn't too bad, though i don't really understand if they're really brothers or not and why hiragi was taken away. oh well. They are. Hiiragi was taken by the head family, and I think the reason is that they need an heir (since the head didn't look like he had any kids) and I assume Hiiragi was chosen because he was more orthodox than Ootori. |
|
| Because of this episode I drank orange juice at the cafeteria at my school the day after I watched it. |
  |
| I'm glad they showed Ootori's and Hiragi's background. They episode did a great job in presenting it. The duet performance neat. |
| Uwahhhhhhh!!! Favorite ep so far! </3 |
| There are no words for how much I loved this episode. I really hope Tsubasa and Itsuki get to live together again one day. |
| Didn't expect a Starmyu episode could make me sad but it did. Very good episode tho. |
| Nerds. |
 |
| Very good episode. Otori isnt'as bad as he seemed to be. The dramatical aspect was presented well, because it has an influence to the main characters, although it should be the main characters who have to be focused. |
 |
| Can I just say once again that this show's ost is PERFECT? Tsubasa's piano piece is so melancholic yet beautiful. I was getting fairly emotional during the entire back story between him and Ootori, but once they got that insert song going my jaw dropped and I nearly teared up. That scene between Ootori and Hoshitani at the end was great. I actually hope Hoshitani never figures out the truth, it seems to lend a sweeter insight into his admiration for this "mysterious figure" and how Ootori can appreciate Hoshitani's feelings. |
 |
| Ah, Otoki's laugh so nice lol. Wait, so Hiragi and Otoki were actually brothers? A lot of things happened, huh |
