| It's time for The Phantom of the Opera play on Sirius's main stage, and all the world's a stage for the Dai Star potentials acting their heart out for this one moment, with the audience, parents and popular stars showing and gearing up to watch. Through song and dance, Kokona extracts Shizuka onto the stage with her Sense, captivating the potential Dai Stars and capturing the hearts of even seasoned World Dai Stars like Hiiragi of the Sense's limitless potential. And not even for a second did Kokona forget about Shizuka, even though she lives within her, the story is made together, the two of them. Once the play goes into full cinematic mode, it's very dramatic, yet appealing at the same time. And when all is said and done, Shizuka is on her own together, not as literate one being with Kokona, but separate, which I'm thankful for that's she's alive. Despite Kokona putting a good show, Yae got the Dai Star award, and may the two of them grow to become World Dai Stars in the future, "Senses represent possibility, the ability to make dreams come true." Well said, President Shamo. Similar to Idoly Pride, is tbe best way I can see this show. Same intrigue, though a bit shallow with the execution. |

| I enjoyed the final performance. so glad that Shizuka was able to come back. Kathrin is a bit upset, because Koko did not get awarded Dai Star. I also feel Kokona should have got the Dai Star award instead. |
| Superb performance and very nice songs from Sirius's Phantom of the Opera. I'm so glad that Shizuku is back. |

| The show grew a lot in me, loved Mika Pikazo's character designs, they made me care about Shizuka, even if I don't care about theater I enjoyed the show but I was hoping for like a time skip with Kokona being a WDS and Shizuka appears again but as long as Shizuka is back I'm happy. |

| What a great performance there by Kokona as Phantom like she was able to portray a tragic character its just damn shame she didn't get a recognition for that acting if not being a World Dai Star that went to Yae instead. There's some shots that reminded me of Idoly Pride so much especially at one of the final scenes with Christina's final scene with the Phantom besides the final song performed by her. 7/10 even though I wanted more World Dai Star with Kokona developing even further. |
| Another great seasonal’s come to an end. Glad it’s over a 7 now on MAL, was definitely underrated. Wow, Kokona’s phantom absolutely blew me away. The animation has consistently been good for the performances, but they turned it up another notch today. You could really feel the emotion in both she and Yae’s performance. So happy Shizuka is back too! I kinda knew there was no way they’d let her character go out like that considering the gacha game is coming out, but they handled her return very well. It allowed Kokona to fully come into her own as an actress, and still fulfil their promise Katharina came a long way from when we first met her. Sticking up for Kokona and being upset she didn’t get the Dai star was sweet. I personally agree, Kokona was def better than Yae imo, but that just gives us more growth opportunity for the gacha. I’ll miss this show a lot. |

| So glad that Shizuka is back at the end Okay this show is not exactly great like I've seen better but the ending was fine |
| I enjoyed myself a lot the entire episode. For a second, i also was like one of the girls, forgot it was a performance. The art was top, the sound was top, the music, the acting was incredible. Yae's singing was so good, not to mention Kokona's acting.. The duo at the final between Yae and Kokona, Kokona at the piano, Yae with the Angel's wings.. I'm done 10/10. |

| I will miss this anime, truly underrated, this deserved more attention than most anime of the season. But well, atleast even if it never gets a sequel (what will probably happen) it was a great ending. 8/10 |
 |
| Very nice and underrated. With sequel groundwork laid out. Only grumble I have is authors using "The Phantom of the Opera" — stories are free to interpret but trying to overcome one of the greatest musicals in history is mission impossible. How one beats sir Andrew in music? |

| I suppose a lot of people were holding back on rating this until the finale, as the score just shot up from 6.72 to 7.17 which is probably the most insane jump I’ve ever seen in a day. |

| show was super underwatched and kinda had me shook by how real/hard it went in on the acting at times also the supernatural mystery was a fun twist at the start this finale was like a 8.5 either a 7.5 or 8/10 for this you can't drop all these characters without a another season tease but cluing in that this is a gacha game anime and a good one at that those were characters from it lol was a crime seeing it under 7 not that it really matters but hopefully more people check it out now |

| The last episode really amazing I don't know how many time i watching this episode and that masquerade song still can't leave from my head AND THAT KISS 😍 😍 😍 |
Fail_Man_X said: Can someone explain Kokona's Sense to me? It's really been bothering me for these final 2 episodes. Koko + Shizu = self Yuri lol, Her sense, Shizuka, is basically the "dream" of Kokona wanting to become the Dai Star. Because of Kokona's childhood and she was starting to lose hope, and her sense awakened and manifested Shizuka, who at the time Kokona has no idea about til later. The fusion Kokona is pretty much just Shizuka returning back into Kokona as her real sense. As said before, before Kokona, everyone's sense was always activated within them, never out of them. As thus, Kokona's true sense is like having 2 person in 1 body, which allows her to act in a more complex way. But while at it, the fusion of her sense evolved and granted her the ability to change her surrounding environment. (which interestingly as mentioned by Theresa, can be obtained by anyone that reaches certain threshold of their acting ability, just that it's fairly rare, so only a few talented actors can obtain this ability) . Also, NICE KISS.... hehehe ( ᵔ 3 ᵔ) CHUUU. And looks like Kokona and Shizuka can unfuse, so they can fuse and unfuse anytime they want, lol . As for who was given the Dai Star. Well... while the Phantom was really good, but at the very end the focus is still on Yae and Kokona was pretty much in the backstage. As we've seen during the ending camera change, nowhere was Phantom viewable on the stage, all you could see was Yae and her giant pink wings, LOL. (even tho Kokona's illusion of the collapsing cave is still in effect, everyone's focus was on Yae, no one saw the cave at the end) (only us the anime watchers saw the cave) So by that, it's a no brainer that Yae got the Dai Star |

| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| the final performance give me a little goosebumps !! this actually not too bad at all !! |
| I’m not actually sure how I’m supposed to feel about Shizuka… what exactly is she…. Existing in deeper parts of Kokona so that she would become a wholeheartedly world dai star felt much better to be honest. Her appearing again felt unnecessary. What is she… can’t be seen then can be seen… disappearing and then appearing again. It messed up my mind. |
 |
| Damn it, I actually want a season 2 of this now. This was WAY better than expected. The Story with Kokona and Shizuka was so good! |
