| Let the drama begin. At the student council room, where they visited to participate in the school festival's live performance, "SSGIRLS" run into Shiho Izumi, the former vocalist before Yori. It seemed that Shiho, who had left the group, has some unresolved issues with Aki and the others. Meanwhile, newly turned lovers Himari and Yori walk home hand in hand, gradually deepening their bond. Amidst this, Shiho and Hajime Amazawa visit Momoka in the cooking research club. So Momoka likes Hajime, though she hinted it might be a one-sided situation. I have a feeling that Shiho is going to fall for Himari, not realizing she's already dating her rival. Though the way Momoka kept trying to hush Himari when talking about her lover was kinda weird... So, did Shiho do all that out of jealousy? She quit, joined another band, and practiced like hell just because she was jealous of Yori and to impress Aki? Shiho just had to come in and mess everything up for my sweet yuri, didn't she? |

| Interesting and spicy episode. Shiho is a good addition to the show. Things were complicated in the past and they will get complicated again. Lovely moments between Himari and Yori again. They look cute together. :3 Momoka x Hajime would be great. <3 Well, that's probably not going to happen, though. |

| Really interesting and dramatic episode, Shiho seems a complete bitch and if am being honest I would've given her a hard slap as well she deserves it. |
| This week, we found out a lot about recently introduced Shiho and her relationship with Yori's band members. It was very interesting and some things make more sense now, and yet I'd say it feels as if there is still a lot we don't know/understand about her. I'm really curious about her relationship with Aki in particular: that ending made me wonder if she feels, or felt, something for her. In any case, her interactions with Himari have shown she has a cute side, in addition to the 'mean' side she shows her former band members. Also loved the Yori/Aki bonding friendship moment, and of course the few (adorable) scenes we got of Himari and Yori together :) |
| They skipped OP and ED both this and last episode, may not be too happy with some parts of the adaptation, but at least they're working hard with the resources they have |
| Shiho is being a colossal bitch. She needs to f off. Taking something serious doesn't mean you need to treat everyone like shit. I suspect there is more to it than what is currently known. She seems to be a bit of a tsundere, so that might play a part in her attitude. But as of now I can't make heads or tails of what her problem is. I am going to just throw a wild guess out there. Probably completely wrong. She fell in love with Aki, but then found out Aki loved Yori. She also learned that Yori was a singer and that Aki loved Yori's voice. So in a way, she probably saw it as Aki rather having Yori as the singer for the band. This caused her to lash out, and then when Aki pointed out some issues with her singing (which to her probably felt like a confirmation)... in a tsundere emotional epic like fashion, instead of being honest she acts as if she always disliked the band and quit. Also, her vendetta seems directed at Aki rather than the whole band, which leads me to believe the reason is more personal. And now she wants to show Aki up, to prove she is a better singer than Yori. Basically, it's a tsundere's version of "notice me senpai". Now, I am curious to see how far off and wrong I am lol. |
| I am become bunny, fluffing of worlds. |
| Fairs. Shiho is here to save this show. Best girl I’m sorry. She’s exactly the type of spice it’s been needing. She and Mizuguchi backstory was great, I love the little love rectangle that’s developing with her, Mizuguchi, Yori and Hima too. Performance should’ve been the highlight of the episode, but the subpar animation made it hard to enjoy it to the fullest. Shiho’s vocals were great though and the song slaps. “Was I better than that girl behind you who you love so much” 😭 oh yea this is the drama I need. I love the toxicity she bringing. |

| Wow man, someone call the fire department because that gym was on fire lol, Shiho and her band really rocked the place, of course they gave the “villains” a hard rock styled song. I will say tho, I don’t really agree with what Kino said about it being a better performance, mainly because it was the harder rock style that made it seem that way, yeah Shiho sang very passionately but imo they weren’t objectively better, and we also got robbed of seeing the full SSGIRLS performance so it’s hard to compare anyway lol. And then Shiho had the audacity to flex on Aki afterward, man this is some spicy stuff, but if you ask me I think Shiho needs to take that song and extend it about 7 more minutes and then we’ll talk about being better lol. And speaking of the spice, man that backstory between Shiho and Aki is not a good look for Shiho, I said this recently about a character in monogatari but it’s gonna take King Arthur to pull out the stick that’s in her ass lol. Of course there’s gonna be more to it I’m guessing, there’s no way she’s just a bitch and there’s nothing else to it, I look forward to how this develops and also seeing the SSGIRLS comeback, this rivalry can only mean better music after all. And lastly I wanted to mention I love every version we’ve seen of Aki so far, we have before she dyed it, then the blonde edition, and the version with her hair up, they’re all good looks. |

| > Aki Invites Shiho > Shiho says she wants a serious band if you're ok with that then she'll join > Aki's band wasn't really "serious" > Shiho want's to leave > Aki *shocked pikachu face* Not sure why no one in their band got the memo... |
 |
| Shiho is so petty and childish, if someone says your bridge isn't perfect, it ooobviously means it's complete trash. But I guess it's high school and puberty, such behaviour is to be expected^^ I hope Mizuguchi tells Kino sooner rather than later what she knows about Shiho. Don't leave her in the dark. MarchinBunny said: It would make sense why she reacted so drastically to Aki criticising her vocals, that it hurt so much hearing it especially from her. And even her lyrics from the casting seemed to be directed at Aki. She fell in love with Aki, but then found out Aki loved Yori But Shiho's relationship to Kaori seems alright, when she gave her tickets to a gig. So it's probably personal. |

| @diegontijo Idk the Japanese part but they used Pig Latin (fun silly altercation of english words) for that line in the sub Deciphered to “nix on the exams” |
| I urgently need the full and extended version of the amazing song Shiho's band performed. I'm sorry, Yori, but Shiho was superior, and it's clear that Shiho is taking it personally with Yori without her knowing. |
 |
| Best friends, yet has never gone over to her house before, yeah, OK pal. This show is a constant reminder of how emotionally unstable and cringe a lot of people are as young teens, getting jealous over the most pathetic and trivial of shit, nothing cute about it. |

diegontijo said: I'm not native but is this an actual line in English? if I didn't know enough Japanese to understand 受験の話はマジでやめて I would never know what she said it's a pig latin version of nix. Works perfectly well as an English sentence, and matches the Japanese https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ixnay https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nix#English https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_Latin |
| Best episode yet! The music, the conflict, the drama all taken to the next level! |
| Wonder how will the two bands clashing will affect the trajectory of later episodes.... Though I can understand folks who just wanted a fluffy yuri love story might dislike how Shiho practically crashed the party. |
| Animation seemed a little rougher today. The performances stand out in this regard. For the SSGIRLS, the drummer apparently just completely disappears when there's ever a shot that's not a band member close up. Drummer doko?  |
| i honestly dont like how this is going. i dont understand shiho's character at all she is literally just mean, selfish and entitled. and the quality is getting worse and worse. until like ep 5 i thought it was good but this episode specifically looks ugly in many places. also look at the following pictures i took of two scenes that are after each other. where the hell did the microphones go?   at least himari is cute  |

| Tbh, the song from the rival band was better than the SSGirls' one. However, Yori still sang better than Shiho. What really made the second song a banger was Momoka's bass. |

| @TitanOfPlasma I am not even sure that Yori sang better, BTW their performance was extremely uninspired and boring but what really pissed me off was the bad animation. This series is getting worse with every episode in that regard. |

| Please let Mizuguchi be happy for once... |
| The story is so good with Drama, Romance and Music all covered nicely it sucks that animation standard keep falling. Also Shiho deserved to be slapped |
| for me, it was a small wrong move of Yori to invite another girl in her apartment who is not her girlfriend (now that she has one). great episode tho. back story of Shiho. |
| After Aki told Yori everything, finally we know why Shiho hates Aki now. Originally they were in the same band but not anymore. I don't know if it was Shiho's selfishness or Aki's fault that caused this to happen. Whatever it is, we have to see what happens in the future between Shiho and Aki.  |

| Nothing like a little clinging to assert dominance over the beetle. But now finally, we have the two of them becoming the couple they were meant to be. A little bit of the good jelly. Now all the other girls can get their own girlfriends and everyone can be happy. Sadly I guess not everybody can be happy though. We're already setting up the rival bands that have been lurking under our noses. Out of one challenge and into another, although I don't imagine they would have our MC band fail now. Don't want the love to take a hit, after all. Shiho is just trying to give music her 110%. Admittedly, there are ways to express that drive without driving any wedges into the band. The flashback really feels pointed.. no subtlety whatsoever. SSGIRLS sadly got added to the body count back then 😔 I swear the anime studio can't make performances right.. I feel kinda insulted. The romance is beautifully handled in the show, but when I take off the yuri goggles I see.. what I don't want to see |
 |
| dude.. the microphones and the drummer were continuously disappearing LOL |
| Shiho is causing more trouble than I thought she would be going for. |
| Man if I were a fan of the manga I would have been really upset about the art |
| Well, it was decent while it lasted. There goes another story ruined by a trashy tsundere character smh. Honestly, thank God we have Hibike! Euphonium 3 this season to cover for the music, and even the yuri aspect lol. Also SSGIRLS' chosen song for the audition couldn't have been more lame. Come on, they were practically asking for that musical beating. Himari asserting dominance was cute tho. |
| Oh wow, people actually sit down and talk in this anime. Also interesting how they showcased two competing groups, usually there's only one (main) band in anime schools and that's it. While Shiho's performance was impressive, I don't think she was completely fair, considering what they were playing with SSgirls and what she actually wanted to play are two completely different genres. She just should have been more honest, and I don't get why she still insists on acting like a jerk. |
  |
| Ah, so that's what went down. With the way Shiho is, I would think that it would be hard to find a band and stick with it if keeps that attitude. Willing to blame others for a crappy rehearsal but never willing to see if they can improve. On a side note, it would be funny if there was a reference to her complaining about the first band she joined just sitting around eating cake and drinking tea. Yori seems to be growing more attentive lately and it shows with her getting Aki to open up about Shiho. Himari seems to be doing wonders for these girls. Surely, Aki'll patch up things up with Shiho sooner or later... alrighty then later it is. She really knows what to aim for. Rare to have a talent show when I was in high school so I'm curious if it's the standard to have people come to see who's auditioning and I'm surprised there weren't more people who showed up. |
