Pretty chill episode.

I like seeing the band getting their spirits back together even though they have been going through some recent rough times. All of them perform together with some collective singing this time.

One more episode left...I'm guessing this show will give us a grand performance or something. The performance at the end of this episode might of been their best one yet so far imo.

Arisa had a rame buddy? Who knew? XD Anywho test studyin' time! Practice for their audition too. Gotta love those yurilicious sleepovers, group bathing included! XD O-Tae's mom feels the love! XD Kasumi's imouto coming to support her was cute. And in the end, through the tears and the magic of yuri...THEY PASSED! Congrats girls! XD

Good episode.

The sleepover was pretty fun, I totally wanted a pillowfight though. XD
O-Tae's Mom is nice. :P

The performance was nice, but for some reason I felt the instrumental sound volume should have been a little higher. Anyway pretty heartwarming moment with the girls passing, couldn't help but smile. Lovely soundtrack to go along with it as well. Congratulations to them. :)

The ED is still my favorite song from Popipa.
Finale next week. :(

Sasuga PoPiPa they aren't using pre-recording from the game and have new arrangement.

As always I love the cast interaction. From Arisa image maintaining at school to the airheadness that apparently genetic on Otae family. And finally they will be able to stand on the stage that bought them together even if it will be for the last time.

Anyway for those who are interest here is another MV from PoPiPa single Happy Happy Party.

Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

I don't run but a walk a few kilometers every day.

I live in Queensland where it's illegal to have Rabbit's as house pets as they have been considered as a pest in Australia.

I really liked their performance, I also like that fact all 5 of them sing and get to play a part in the song.

Looking forward to seeing them all again next episode.

I expect Otae mom is the tsukkumo type.. but now i know where Otae got her airheadness and terrible pun...

Otherwise Mae e Susume always be my favourite song since the game released and it is really good to listen the raw anime version instead of recording ones from the game...

I also live in Queensland. o/ I owned bunnies before living in Aus, I was so sad when I found out they're not allowed as pets. D:

Hooray for passing!
Was there so much lip shading before this episode? They seem so defined this episode. :o

I think the first half of the episode wasn't really needed, we already know that they were working hard for the audition. The performance was okay. I'm not an expert in music, but sometimes I felt like the voice actors didn't hit the pitch exactly when they sang. Like it was close, but if you listened carefully you could clearly hear it.

O-Tae and her mom would be a delight to live with since they're both adorable airheads and not to mention that luxurious crib lmao

Poppin' Party overcame all sorts of hardships and worked so hard to get where they're at so they definitely deserve that hard-earned approval from the owner. Passing that audition might be a big achievement for them but they still have a live show to play before they can rest on their laurels!

This anime was better than Love Live and FAR superior to Idolm@ster in every way. Music genre, vocals, character development/likability, tropes(or lack thereof), etc. 8/10.

Wasnt a very tight performance, but if you note in the previous band that passed, they also said they did their best, and she passed them. Owner asked Kasumi, she replied that she did her best too.

Owner passes bands that gave their best.
