Welp, right off the bat we got a crazy guy that took a knife out for a kill.

This episode had more fan service than I had expected. The world if idols in this series seems to be a tough place of competition. The witch caught my attention the most with the way she tried to train these upcoming stars.

I wasn't impressed by the singing this episode tbh though.

This was a really weird episode. Misaki had rumors about her spread all over and then some guy just stabbed her because of it. That was harsh. The dream she had is very odd. All the guys got turned into girls and she's the teacher. One girl got turned into poop for going against Misaki. It caught me by surprised Haruto was one of them. He almost got his manhood cut off. The singing was okay. At then end, the dream ended and Misaki is going to follow her dreams. I'm glad for her.

LOL This was by far the weirdest episode of the series, but I feel it was a welcome change and breath of fresh air with how grim the anime has been thus far.

Well, it feels like Misaki had a grudge against everyone, for assuming the worst of her and for not acknowledging her hard work. I'm assuming that's why she was pushing everyone in her dream so hard, to give them a taste of what she experienced to get to her position.

I swear, I'm scared to know how far they tortured Haruto while he was in that chair... They had candle wax, anal beads, a vibrators, a lash... Jesus christ, I feel sorry for my boy. They even turned it into some more kinky shit when the lady was holding the carrot.



I'm assuming that she recovered well from the attack by the crazed fan at the beginning of the episode? I mean, she was performing like normal again, so yeah.

Oh, and it's also nice to see Haruto having some weird quirk or something. Honestly, his character was a tad bit boring without something to spice it up. Looks like he's some kinda idol-otaku or something.

All in all, I really enjoyed the episode. It was by far one of the worst-looking episodes, but it was also one of the more entertaining ones... if you don't mind the toilet humor and all.

After 2 episodes featuring interesting art styles and potentially-compelling themes, it is such a disappointment to experience such a visually-standard and thematically-shallow episode like this.

It's sad...truly sad that merely two weeks ago we had something that I could honestly call a masterpiece, something beautiful, touching and unique...and now...we get this UTTER SHIT. Throughout the whole episode I was telling myself it can't get any shittier than what they've already shown but sadly I was proven wrong. I have nothing good to say about this, it was weird and unusual and still managed to be so fucking banal and bland. It had absolutely no fucking redeeming features. I'm guessing it was just a way for some S/M pervert to bring his fantasies to life. The last episode wasn't really bad so I wasn't sad it wasn't something like the 7th episode but this one...oh, this one was complete and total garbage. I'm not even exaggerating when I see I haven't seen anything worse than this while watching anime. Of course there might be, but not from the stuff I've watched. Since every episode is quite different from the others I have my hopes this anime can recover, but this episode just hurt its overall quality REALLY bad.

Holy shit this ep

This reference is hilarious af. I wonder if the VAs know what kind of lines they were asked to say.
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AF%E3%83%BB%E3%83%9E%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B3%E3%83%93%E3%83%83%E3%83%81

So the baseball player's name mentioned in the anime when translated in Japanese is MankoBicchi and that's the Truth of idols.

Another reference is to this country's health minister (Mega Chinpo) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A3o_Tom%C3%A9_and_Pr%C3%ADncipe

And they pick Love Live's Honoka's VA as Misaki (porn scandal reference lol)

Definitely a weird episode, but nice that they tackled the Idol theme, even tho I would prefered it if they had handled it in a more serious manner. However it was entertaining nonetheless and I had some good laughs.

Dat JoJo reference,tho xD

try showing that to your friends with no context and just tell them the genie is his dick. that's definitely weird.
btw, idk if i was not paying attention or they really didn't talk about it but what happened to whoever got stabbed in the first scene? if it really was misaki that was stabbed, she should be dead or in a critical condition since there were SFX for multiple stabs, not just one

Weird. I know it's a dream and dreams are weird, but this has to be the weirdest one thus far. I'm not into the whole S&M thing, so this episode did nothing for me. It was funny seeing Haruto being excited about the dream and being near Misaki.

Well by this point i am used to all the crazy weird. I don't expect anything different of course either. I honestly loved this episode thanks to its hilarious hijinks. I like how it did show the true struggle of a Idol/Star.
Sadly I immediately knew who haruto was and was just awaiting the genderbender reveal later. I knew he was not going to be able to stay hidden forever. Good Job Lillie.
"little haruto" .....LOL?
Lil Haruto Genie......bad idea. I would've summoned a dragon personally. Its funnier?

Anyway, Episode has a 7/10. Music was bleh.

Stab was quite disturbing, especially how often there's irl news of creepy stalkers going violent. I recall at least a guitarist who died from multiple stabs despite a full crowd...
Actually whole episode is most disturbing... possibly of the whole season. But the concepts are very interesting. Instead of the usual revenge, Misaki wanted others to experience her pov, training hardships, even getting satisfaction from growth like Nana (Haruto). But her dream backfires when the inquisition she feared came up.
Inserts & ed are quite catchy. Tho art shitty as usual, this might be 2nd most 'impactful' episode.

Just when you thought this show couldn't possibly get any weirder, along comes this mess. But it's at least commendable of them to show the dark side of the completely fucked up idol-business. The scene at the end, when Misaki resigns, reminded me of the beginning of Perfect Blue.......for her Sake I hope that is where the parallels end.

Weird episode as usual. I was expecting the episode to be focused on the despair of being an idol but got the opposite. Wasn't expecting it to be this comedic, although I liked Misaki's realization in the end.

The beginning part where Misaki was was having a meeting with various big shots from the film industry to kickstart her actress career, and one of the big shots put his hand on her lap, that made me so uncomfortable considering the scandals about Hollywood recently.

Rest of episode is trash though, this episode didn't tackle nothing, problem still exists, Misaki just chose to walk away from the problem.

It really annoys me this episode was such trash. Idealizing and placing famous people- be they idols, singers, movie stars, or whatever else- on pedestals is a serious problem, as is the shadier part of the entertainment industry. The message was overshadowed by how needlessly gratuitous everything was.

I have never hated an episode of any show more then this one. It feels like this episode was just a way for someone to portray their sexual desires, it misses the overall tone the show has had up to this point as it makes too light of a serious topic.

Another hilarious episode, or i mean, hilarious dream!
Once again, Haruto messed up witch forever dream, entering her idol school, and fucked up everything. Poor him, when Lily changed him back. That moment where he got tortured really amusing and fun to watch. Lmao! I mean, yeah, just look by yourself, then.
Get dress up, goddamned! You dirtying my innocent eyes!

You gotta love the fan service this episode oh my lord look at that ass in the background (′ꈍωꈍ‵)



As for this scene how perfect isn't that lens flare? LOL



Okay but enough of that, except all the fan service this episode had me pretty invested, i felt like time went fast witch means i liked the episode, it had me entertained! I liekd the thata Nana was Haruto witch i suspected! I also like how they had Lily point it out that Nana was Haruto and had Lily make Haruto grow a boner HAHA, oh man i really enjoyed this episode! a lot better then the last 2 in my opinion!
