| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp, it all came down to this, the big grand performance of all the idols. All the hard work aimed for this episode's performance. Not going to lie, I think they put quite an effort into this episode, at least in terms of the human emotions. They've stepped onto that stage not just to prove themselves but also to entertain the world. A lot of passion in those voices in the finale and some tears shed from the cast. |
 |
| Time to give their all: the lonewolf's talent agency internal final battle performamce between Sunny Peace and Moon Tempest. The most dramatic finale ever: instead of one group only being the winner due to a draw, give both groups the Winner position, to fulfill the final wishes of Mana. The closure between Makino and Mana relationship is closed with tears of sadness and joy, and seal that final moment with a kiss to disappear in the style of Anohana. An OK finale, but as a whole, it's refreshing for an idol show to commit to this project which has been in production for a year. |

| “I’m glad I fell in love with you” “I wish I could kiss you” FUCK MAN, with Kotono’s song in the background I broke down. We all knew it was coming since the first time we saw Mana’s ghost, but it doesn’t make it any easier. I’m so glad Mana and Makino got to convey their feelings at the end Tsukino tempest song was definitely the better of the two in both rounds for me, but I think the dual winner concept was cool too. This was such a great show man, easily the best idol show of the past year, yes including Nijigaku. I’m looking forward to the future of the multimedia project and the upcoming game. |

| Being able to sing on the finals after breaking through the countless trials that preceded it really is a different feeling altogether. So they went for their debut singles for their finals huh. Even though they started off as the lowest ranking groups within the grand prix to reach the finals together really was an impressive achievement. Though it was a draw the results was perhaps the best result possible for them all. Mana's words to Makino as well as that kiss really showed just how much she valued him both as a friend and as her manager and made her vanish even more sad. The last joint performance of the two groups really was impressive. Nice of the last two members of Liznoir make their long delayed entry. Overall an excellent finale that managed to end the series on a high note and give the best ending possible for both groups. Curious at whether will be another series that shows what will happen to the girls after though. |

| It was a very depressing episode. Mana and Manager's last talk felt like they were repeating that one scene from Anohana word to word but it was still sad. I loved Moon Tempest's song at the start of this episode and the final performance. I hated Idoly Pride when I watched the first episode, the plot seemed dumb and unnecessary. It became better by each episode. The dance animations were amazing, it was one of the best looking dances in anime I've ever seen. Their 2D/CG mix wasn't good in the performances but I didn't mind it. It was a pretty good show. |
 |
| I don't even understand why the final episode was that good, I didn't expect that but actually the scene with Mana was very emotional and made me feel sad, the draw thing with both team winning was pretty easy from this show though, but it's better than what I expected with Moon Tempest winning and then Mana disappearing while seeing her sister fulfilling her dream. Nice that we had manager x mana kiss but too bad that it isn't a real one, I wish she wasn't a ghost for that scene. |
 |
| This might be the best outcome for the Venus Program. Both Tsuki no Tempest and Sunny Peace are the winner. But, in my opinion, there should have a clear winner. The moments between Mana and Makino were very sad, especially when Kotono sang "song for you". And, it became the saddest when Mana told her feeling to Makino and start to disappear. This was too sad. Mana doesn't deserve this kind of destiny. I am looking forward to the future project of Idoly Pride. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| So they went with the safe route and made both Moon Tempest and Sunny Peace the winners, fine I guess. Thou tbh I wanted to see a clear winner between them. Mana's final moments were really emotional, I teared up a bit during that scene. Decent idol anime overall, the songs were okay. |
 |
| So that's all, huh. Glad that Mana and Makino got their closure; very pleased to see them make up. On another note, I didn't mind them reusing the old songs, and I actually quite like that they did. Also much happy to see Kotono being able to sing Mana's song. Definitely enjoyed this anime, despite the slow start. For my first idol anime, this was quite the shocker. Lerche did well to animate the series, and only improved as the story went on. Though the ending does feel conclusive, I can't help but feel like we might get a sequel, or at least a side story of some sort. Too much effort put into this series for a single cour... Solid 8 or 8.5/10 for me. |
| rest in peace again Mana-san T_T ... at least we got a ghost kiss! Makino better start investing into ghost girls now 6/10 |

Yup we all saw it coming but it didnt hurt any less since it was executed so flawlessly, truly hands down to the ppl in charge of this project. This show was just much more then only your typical idol stuff. Really gonna miss Mana&Makino even though it was heartbreaking and yet beautiful relationship aswell. |
 |
| No regrets about watching this, every part of the anime, from the animation to characters and music, everything was soo good. Those last lines between Makino and Mana were heartwarming, I almost shred a tear. I wish they were a couple but shit happens and Makino has to move on, he has a lot of great girls to take care of. The draw was kinda logical so nothing to say there. Watching bot TRYNiTAIL and LizNoir watching them and enjoying the performance was also pretty good. Such a nice time watching these. |
 |
| 8.5/10 The best idol series since first Idolm@ster. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
rip mana, great performances from both groups in the end. music didn't really suit my tastes all that much, but trinityaile (trysail) had some good damn stuff. certainly an unique idol anime. |
 |
| This finale was AMAZING! - Mana finally telling Makino she likes him and they kiss (finally-) - The girls getting a draw - Kotono singing her sisters song - Mana moves on I would write more, but my brain is full of key-smashes thanks to the bitter-sweetness I'm sure I'll be missing this series next season (especially since there seems to be no idol anime airing then) TTvTT. The ride was wonderful, I'm definitely down for that game! 9.5/10 |
| I am not crying, i am not crying. I just sad its already over TT. Oh wow, what an emotional finale. The draw was expected and pretty understandable. They really need to end it with a bang by standing there together. My eyes got watery all of a sudden xd. Such a very good end, no bad shit, just let them flows the feeling through all of their songs. Full-fledged manager Makino also got a boosted up development there, saying the farewell was always hard, especially when its come to your beloved one. So thats it! The final saga, even if its mean the beginning of their long road. Lets them started it with a proper good-bye from their one and only idol, Mana Nagase, the ghost. Refreshing idea of the idol show is always welcomed on my list. So yeah, this one get the love they deserved from me. Easy 8/10 |

| Beside the "unexpected result" this was great. Finally kotono got her solo and even better it was with the confession of love of mana, it was really beautiful. 7/10 |
| The draw was expected nonetheless very emotional final episode. I had so much fun watching this anime. |
 |
| What a successful idol show. Love it from the start to the end! What a journey, it looks like they put all their best in episode 12, it was awesome. |

| Just a few words about this episode: Speechless ...! Hehe, magnificent episode, the truth is that the last 4 chapters have been wonderful, which I appreciate, I had lost the rhythm of the series from episode 2 to 8, but the last 4 reminded me again of episode 1, which I loved . Especially this last episode which is my favorite, the animation and direction were quite good, they managed to use as little 3DCG as possible and they delighted us with scenes in the very well animated 2D presentations. The choreography is also very good. And finally, the goodbye of Mana and Makino ... I couldn't help crying, I knew from the beginning that there was a certain chemistry between them, and Ahhhh, I loved it! God, the kiss. |
 |
| A great finale to wrap up the series with an amazing performance. Everything that was playing while the credits were happening at the end was sweet. |
 |
| group members and their duels are pretty underwhelming. the only thing that's left impact is the relationship between mana and makino. |
| I'm so glad I stuck to the show till the end, else I wouldn't have seen the beautiful confession scene. What a ride. |
 |
| Almost cried in the end, good anime, i would rate 7 before this episode, but now its 8. Really good ending. |

| I knew it was coming but damn Mana disappearing was still sad. While I would've liked there to be a clear winner, tie was alright too I guess Watched the first episode basically by accident cus I was bored on a Sunday, but ended up getting pretty attached. Gonna miss this show. |
| I expected the idol battle to be a draw, and turned out it is. Lerche did a good job animating it. Makino and Mana moment was very emotional, broke me and made me cry, we expected this to happen but im really happy for the flawless execution of it. And the kiss was a perfect way to end it. God! I love it! Still sad though. |
 |
| This was such a good idol show. I ended up in tears at the end. The music was wonderful and I would love to hear more songs from Moon Tempest and Sunny Peace. |
| I want to sleep... |
| yoo who put some union in this episode LMAO !!! the ending is pretty good , since beginning i knew it this series is interesting !! look at that score now , i still remembered the score since eps 1 is below 6.5 !! |
| My heart is broken, we knew that finale was coming but I still wasn't ready for it. When I first started following the Idoly Pride project (around a year before the anime started) I thought this would be an idol drama based on the big struggles the characters would go through in their way to reach the top, but the true emotions ended up coming from a beautiful love story between our great manager and the legendary idol that tragically died before reaching her dream, really beautiful work. I'm definitely gonna check out the game when it comes out, the anime did a great job at making me want more of this lovely cast. |

|
| What a cowardly cop out. I'd have thought about giving this a decent 7 but the fact that the two groups ended up winning is just lame. 5/10 |
 |
| A decent idol show. I can definitely say I haven't been a fan of the catalyst for the show since the beginning. Dead ghost idol girls are not my happy place. It definitely ended with a pretty sad farewell for Makino. It sits in the 6/7 range for me. |
 |
| I'm not crying you're crying |
 |
| Overall, it was good. The tie was meh... but ok, I can see why. Honestly, all along while watching the season go by, I was really hoping to see trysail vs sphere. 😕 I hope S2 leads to that. Otherwise, yeah, it was ok. Talentz |
