Maid in Heaven lol. I see what they did there.

Nothing too special about this episode as it's still the usual idol gags, performances, personalities, etc. It seems the idols' fanbase in this anime keeps on growing or at least remains bigger than ever.

Ichii and her group have a bright future.

Eripiyo and Maina continue to miss each other’s feelings building towards the end of season.

I am loving this show for the sheer comedy and GL. A great way to take a breather.

It was hilarious to see how Eripiyo wants to sell her organs (please don't) and then ended up asking her mom for money xD.

I really like that we see the perspectives of the other idols. Maki and Yume's moment in the end was great, I ship them so hard.

Now, please, Eripiyo, Maina, talk. That's all I'm asking.

ngl I honestly wouldn't be surprised if there were some rabid otaku who actually sold their organs/other big things just to support their favourite idol

but other than that another rather boring episode filled with pretty much the same stuff. Maina wanting to talk to Eri, misunderstandings ensue, lowkey yuri between Maki and Yumeri etc. etc.

One thing for sure is that the backgrounds are really nice (especially at the bridge at the end). The animation though was kinda confusing. At the beginning of the dance it was pretty good, but towards the end it just completely collapsed on itself lol

As fun and enjoyable as the show is, they keep leaving the Eripiyo and Maina bits incomplete. Even the cards that fell out of the window a few episodes back was never cleared up. I'm hoping they at least address some of stuff that happened this episode next episode.

Great episode as always.

It's a little sad that Maina was able to doubt Eripyo a little bit, while she definitely suffers from being unable to speak her mind to her, I do think that Eripyo showing up in crutches should at least make her show some appreciation and not doubt Eripyo's intentions.

The last scene between Maki and Yumemi was very touching.

Soft yuri went full-throttle in this episode.

It's a kind of irony: A fan can go an event to meet an idol, but an idol can't go and meet a specific fan.

Yuka is fun as usual: "I'll give you a handshake with the intention to break your fingers".

Aya who works as a part-timer would be the most common girl in the group. She is a hardworker. She makes money and buys her own votes... kind of pathetic like Eripiyo. I think she will gain more votes from now on.

I honestly don’t know what to think of this show. I’m enjoying it, but I don’t understand what it’s trying to say. Like, what are the feelings the creators have that they are trying to get across? Cause it seems to make fun of and disapprove of obsessive attitudes, but then goes and kind of justifies it in another scene?

Also, it kind of rubs me the wrong way having merch sales be tied to a popularity contest that is within the same group. If it were an inter group competition I’d understand it, but all these sales are for he same idol group. I don’t know, maybe I just don’t understand how the music industry works in japan. It just feels kinda manipulative. But that’s more a problem I have with reality than the show.

I’m gonna keep watching, anyway! I just really hope Maina can tell Eripiyo that she’s glad to have her as a fan soon.

AAAAGGH when Maina overheard those guys gossiping by the train and made that sad face ;_; And when she got Eripiyo's present and made that happy face :'D So many emotions! So much love! Please God let the two of them start dating before this show ends pleeeease!!

...although, on the down low, I've been holding out more hope for MakiYume and it continues to make excellent progress. Maki making those slick moves. I wondered how Yumeri had made it to 3rd, turns out her gf was stanning the whole time :P

I love yumeri and maki relationship, i also love their matching eye and hair color: yumeri - yellow eyes and hair, maki - violet eyes and a bit of violet hair

To be honest, Eripiyo's obsession is creepy. And it's a bit silly how they never can talk normally.

Maki x Yume were very cute. I'm glad there's another not so creepy ship we can focus on. Yume's dance part looked quite nice and the moment with those hand-holding tickets, awww.

All of the ChamJam girls are still getting their fanbase popularity as usual, but due to last episode's events, Eripiyo is down with a fractured leg, and she's thinking to sell an prgan for Maina??? That's getting too far EH GURL!

For Kumasa and Eripiyo, the trip to a maid cafe and seeing A-ya, the fan stan certainty is deadly heh, not just the popularity contest hurting internal relations even between Maina and Eripiyo, which in part of Aya's response, made the situation worse, but whatever, she's happy with it. Damn this situation to shreds!

In a silver lining of hope, Maina is glad that Eripiyo still is continuing to be her stan. And the sudden involvement of Maki being a momentary stan for Yumemi...WOW I did not see this coming, the Yuri ships sail hard!

Well...what an episode!

Maina and the things around her are really starting to bug me. First the staff losing the first present she ever got, and never told her about it. But now they're looking at a girl who bought Maina into 3rd place and has a broken body as a result, and all she can think is "why don't you support me more?"

This is a level of dense that's become cruel.

The drama is like hilarious but it all feels so genuine, genuine not as in realistic(it isn't) but genuine as in...human.

An idol idolizing(?) a fan. Central concept to the show, simple but so interesting and charming.

tbh this episode was really boring... i've been liking this anime...but i guess i just wanna see Eripiyo doing her best, like she has been doing for the last 4 episodes, but i guess she tried so hard (3 part time jobs at once) that now she is useless :v


anyway, the best stuff about this episode: seeing Yumeri dance on the front row, seeing her at the end with her girlfriend (what was her name again?...) and ofc seeing that short part with Aya maid ... oh and maybe Eripiyo doggeza lol
everything else just didn't manage to keep me interested
fav "new" girls from winter <3 (2 extra girls this time, but 36 seasonals so whatever) ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks

As someone who has had a good time with the show till now, I felt this episode was a huge let down.

Not only does it push the misunderstanding aspect to irritating levels, but it also manages to colossally ruin the image of Maina for me.

Why aren't you supporting me more?

No matter how unintentional it might be, it takes a special kind of idiot to say those words to someone as loyal(ly obsessed) as Eripiyo.

On the flip side though, the maid cafe sequence was a lot of fun to watch and Yumeri experiencing the front row was neat too.

Maki sure is smooth.

Also, I really hope Maina and Eripiyo's relationship (friendship?) doesn't get mired in misunderstanding bs.

Maina, dear... just saying but why not trying to voice your thoughts for once? Because seriously, the whole misunderstanding trope is starting to become really annoying.

Anyways, leaving the dumb misunderstandings aside, I still liked the episode. The maid cafe sequence was quite entertaining and the last scene between Maki and Yumeri was indeed really sweet to watch.
And Maki is such a smooth talker, by the way. Sorane hasn't received much focus yet but for now, Maki might be my favorite girl in the group. She's simply gorgeous and I can't help but love how mature she looks and acts.

Gorgeous colors during the yuri park scene.
2D animated dance always rare & nice to see.
Eripiyo is lol, but Maina has serious communication difficulty.

More misunderstanding and money problems!!! And Rena flirted some with Maina!!Rena may be young!! But I can feel that the lesbianism is strong in that one!!,,YEEEEES!!


Then the lesbian couple steals the show again!! They are the most intriguing characters in this!! Maki bought a huge amount of merchandise so her girlfriend also could be in-front!! And that obviously meant the world for Yume!!! Awwwww the lesbian couple are so fucking cute!! They should have their own anime!!!! And the romantic scene between them in the park was one of the best so far in this!!


Great episode and the Yuri was as strong as ever!!!

I'm glad we saw this nice and romantic little story between Yumeri and Maki. They look lovely together and i want to see more of them.
Not sure what so special about Yumeri's kindergarten-level's dances though, but whatever. The voting was rigged anyway.
Middle-aged simps are creepy as ever, nothing new here. I think Rena is their only one teenage fan which is kinda unsettling.
Maina is starting to annoy me. Now she is demanding for Eri's attention and making this really sad face. I wish she was more confident.
Rena is awesome, too bad there were like 20 seconds of her on the screen.
