THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I thought it won't be aired today (MBS schedule didn't list this this week). I'm glad it still came out as reqularly.

Back from the trip, and talking about typhoon. Talking about the past experience, and wished on the stone about the memory. Nothing came out? And Annoying girl said she's doing summer homework and needing that transferring girl for help. The young 4 girls appear!! So they are seeing 4 years ago of them, who are in the place of them that consider 4 years later. They follow young them for the truth.

Running away when they saw older quiet girl, which young quiet girl tripped when running away. Young girls mistook older selves as the bad guys!! lol~ Then older got trapped by young. The tickets made by quiet girl and they were there for the stage? They began to sing. Then they had to save young selves. They disappeared and lol @ the quiet girl's "ghosts" and dark smile.

Next ep. airing on 21st.

More idol dreams next ep.?

They meet the younger self and the ghost was the future self.

They made a wish on the big rock without knowing that. :D

Ah it's always so confusing having this time loop thing. But I think I'd rather appreciate the mood set by this episode rather than think about the technicalities behind it haha; eg: where did they learn the song they were singing from (nice Yuka solo too!)?

I also liked how the two wishes made four years apart resonated with each other; again technicalities aside, it was a pretty good theme for this week's episode. Two more eps to go T.T"

this episode was really good!

really love the twist on this episode and how well it was executed.
past selves wished to know what their future selves would be like, and they ended seeing them but as ghosts lol
present selves wished to remember what happened in the past, and what better way to remind them than their past selves

i also LOL'ed hard at how corny they brought up the ED song twice, as natsumi's ringtone and then their little "ghost" concert

looks like they finally get their shot at becoming idols, really hope they all succeed

mechanics? technicalities? basically, the wish (or both wishes) has just transported their past selves/loli versions into the present.. remember, the present is when there is a weather report of a typhoon.. since the town hasn't changed much since 4 years ago, the lolis thought that they're still living in the same time frame as 4 years ago.. after the spell is released, the lolis are transported back.. in the lolis' perspective, they thought that the older versions disappeared like ghosts, when in fact, the whole scenery that they see were gradually changing as they are being transported back to 4 years ago where it was sunny and there was no typhoon..

anyway, i really like how troll rock did its usual awesomeness.. i thought, when they made their wish, they're going to be in the cliche scenario of reliving their past selves.. instead, troll rock brought forth their past selves into the present and cause major paradox threat.. now we have a couple of ticket cards that have been permanently transferred to a time which is 4 years later than their origin.. this rock is so hype.. if we only didn't have the plot element of Saki having to move at the end of summer (aka at the end of this show), i would like to enjoy more independent episodes with troll rock.. how fun it is to mess up with the fabrics of time, space, and reality with a couple of girls and teach them life lessons from it..

also, Saki is awesome even as a child.. no mercy at using those nunchakus against beautiful thieves who also happens to be herself..

That was awesome. I love how they wished for it in the past as well so everything falls perfectly into place. Though i kind of wonder, if they are in the past or their past selves were in the future.

Okay, I'm giving this episode a 5/5 because even though it wasn't anything groundbreaking, I think it was put together very well. It was quite obvious where they were going with the whole time travel thing, but the girls making a wish prior to the start of the show was a lovely touch, not to mention hearing the ending song (absolutely loving it). Saki fighting with herself was also funny.

I love time travel in any way, shape or form and enjoyed this episode.

It was exciting to see the main cast in their younger years interacting with their present counterparts. I found the wish on the rock being accidental this time was a nice touch.

These mini adventures with the rock (like bodyswapping and invisibility) are much more enjoyable to watch than their efforts to become idols I think.

That's so simple yet so brilliant. The lolis want to see their future and the girls want to see their past, and so they meet.

And hey, at this rate, they may really end up being idols. LOL

I really hope they do!

It helps that they're an actual band in real life, and I think they're also all idols.

I loved this episode, and it makes sense now what was going on. Argilium got it right! Basically wishes from the past and present ended up fulfilling each other.

if they became idols, then they might just have their chance to work against the fate that's been pulling at them the whole time!

Hoho, time travel and it worked, a nice episode which got us back on track for the idol dream.

Little Saki kicked ass and little Rin was adorable, I wonder if they made more wishes without knowing.

It was a good episode. The time travel (technically) wish was shown in a pretty good manner which almost summed it up fine. All in all, splendid. :D

Saki: Hard hitting bitch! xD
Annoying girl: ANNOYING as a brat! xD

If they become idols (which I hope they do) it is just so...convenient? Easy?

They forget about their dream for about four years, sing in one local competition, and then go on to win an idol audition? If it plays out that way, I feel bad for how hard those girls worked in iDOLM@STER.

They didn't forget about their dream, just 3 of them had given up on it.

Either way, they stopped working toward it. I don't think you can just decide to be an idol one summer and accomplish it.

Saki with a ponytail, Yuka with twintails and then the four of them in child form! It kinda felt like time travel in a way, because they actually encountered their future selves and even remembered it. They made a wish at the rock four years ago without knowing. One week hiatus next week. After that they'll become idols! Or not...

Hmm, I don't think you would ever recognize your own older self look when you are in your younger self eventhough both do look very alike. You won't have even thought about it and the possibilities of this happening.

It's like when you see your 10 years older self on the street one day, would you have recognize that person as yourself? You would just thought that person looks similar to you but it is definitely not you because you are right here.

This episode was really nice and I loved it. I knew it had something to do with time traveling the moment they made the wish but I definitely didn't see the younger selfs making a wish themselves coming. It was great the way they just connected everything together perfectly.

Haha their encounters were just fun to watch. Damnnnn young Saki is good with that nun-chuck, lmao at the way she just beat down the normal age Saki. Just 2 episodes left. :(

"It's a blast from the past." - Troll Rock.

Interesting how their wish from the past and their wish from the present synchronized to make this time travel event work. Strange how their younger selves never figured out (except little Saki, probably) who the "ghosts" were even though their hair colors, voices and faces didn't change much four years later. Just the height, hair styles and singing skills changed.

Then again, the experience of meeting their selves from the future must have been so surreal for them that they all decided it wasn't real.

Nice episode, but I rofl'd at the weather report at the start of the episode, sure they have a low budget but they made japan look like it's made out of squares and what not.
Next episode should be more serious with quite some progress on the story.

Those younger girls are SOOOOO CUTE!!!! I luve the nunchaku and mace! Saki was a little spitfire! This was such a great episode! I loved the way it brings the girls into alignment with the idol dream. Seeing how serious their younger selves were, and remembering hearing the ghosts sing and being so impressed with how beautiful they sounded and realizing that they were in awe of their older selves brought all four of the girls to the same page as far as the realization that they could actually do it! Fantastic set-up for a great last two episodes! I have to watch them tonight... :)

Little Saki is a feisty one! That nun-chucks meets pepper spray combo is killer. And watch out for those rockets, little Yuka is as crazy as usual. Hilarious episode and absolute gold, I found it neat how the rock has been responding to their wishes even back when they were younger. I like how they chose to show us the older versions disappearing, showing how these two wishes intertwined in those four years.

In terms of the story this ep was the best so far!

I like how well thought and executed this time loop thing then connect it to their past and future self. 5/5 clap ep!

At first im wondering who was the thieves and ghosts they encountered in the past and im like hittin my head when it revealed that its themselves from the future xD

They so cute when they were a little lmao
Little Saki so barbaric hittin her future self so hard then Yuka nothin changed still naughty lol.

I love it when every ep Yuka and also Saki have different hairstyle.

Oh dang, lmao! Baby Saki just hit Adult Saki with a two-hit combo. Although, I have no idea why all of them readily have access to weapons, lmao.

This rock sure does love making copies of the girls. That being said, it was an interesting take on a time loop episode. More so that the characters directly interacted with one another, when that's generally considered to be a big no-no. They sure did complain about themselves a lot too. And, I mean, none of them in particular seem like they've changed all that much, so there's that. But, overall, it was well done.
