Another badass episode!
This time, its about Saki's and her biker gang antics!
Legendary Yamada Tae is hilarious once again!
police guard is back again! lolz but easily provoked!
So now we know how Saki died huh...from a duel on a bike to the cliff! damn!
Saki walking towards you behind the flames was like Sephiroth in hell! that was awesome!
5/5.

I honestly think I'm one of the few people who doesn't like Koutarou. He definitely is an interesting character, but he gets on my nerves a lot. The show does have a lot of flaws besides his personality, but he irks me the most honestly - even the CGI sometimes beats him.

Two eps without that shitty crap CGI, and the songs have been getting better, I still don't like Koutaro, he's so fucken annoying ffs.
I'm watching this show because I've nothing else to do, but last 2 eps were nice, so I'm gonna keep watching.

Here's something I've been thinking about for a while.
So the show has been alluding that Sakura's memories are important, so that might be very interesting to see why.
But more importantly, why is Sakura a part the group at all? She isn't a famous person or anything legendary (that we know of). She never got to send in her audition papers (she died holding them), so that's not where Tatsumi got his information about her from.

So, why Sakura?
Maybe Tatsumi knew Sakura when she was alive, heck maybe they were friends or classmates since he seems to be around 20-30 years, putting him around the age of Sakura when she was alive.

And to add to the theory maybe this means she was the reason he did resurrect them, so she could achive her dream?

Or he thought she would make a good member because of it.

That concert at the end was awesome - better than the others the girls have previously staged; I would be grateful if someone could help me with the details of that song :)
Thanks :)


Great song, i would love to get the details too !!

Great episode! Nice to see Saki's backstory, but it was kinda predictable. Still it makes sense since she is part of a biker gang.

Still, it was crazy how Saki is willing to go for her gang. Guess Reiko remembered how Saki died and doesn't want her daughter Maria ended up like that.

I still don't get how Maria becoming so obsess with the gang thing. Was it because she eventually learned about her mother's past and now she looks so weak?

Anyways, Can't wait for Yuugiri's backstory ^^

Badass mama. And Saki is so cool. Best decision the show ever made was to focus on each girl individually. The episodes have been packing an emotional punch lately.

Am I the only one wondering how they can't recognize who are the zombie girls? Even the closest friends at the time and ones own daughter they can't recognize.

The mother realized Saki is the same one from her childhood, but Saki was the one who did not recognize herself intentionally or not. The exchange of dialogue occurred before the start of the motorcycle race between Maria and the other female rival.

Mother: "Saki..."
Saki: "Saki?"

@ Topic
The ending was corny as the situation went from a serious street war to a musical piece without a definite end from the former to a definite start for the latter. Could have there been a time transition between the motorcycle race and the idol show would have lessened the awkwardness.

The best part of this episode was Koutarou "Music. Come on".
I really liked this episode. Interesting from beginning to end.
The moment they went from serious talk to singing was a bit strange, but the performance was my overall favorite so far.

...I am still confused as to why I am liking an idol anime. lol

Great Episode. Pretty interesting storytelling on Maria though.Saki's was handled well.

Also thought the episode was kinda emotional even with the humor.

Now all that's left is Tae and Yugiri's.

Ep didn't disappoint.

Her smile at the end is so precious. We must protect it at all costs TT____TT
Love her.

Her bestie Reiko is pretty cool too and a gr8 mother once Maria learns to appreciate it.
I wish she grabbed the Tamagotchi tho LOLOL. Sweet how she kept it for Saki all this time.

The idol outfits for Saki's song is badass affffffff

This episode was really awesome! Seriously, at the beginning of this anime, I didn't believe it could be more than just a crazy and weird series...

But now I love the fact we know more and more about each member and hey, Saki is so badass and cool. (And her death was something like "Yeah, this is so Saki-like!")

Also, I love that small story of Maria and how it all turned out.

And now one of the best screenshots comes:

I also checked the dubbed version, but only a few samples. I'd say it's pretty average. I'm aware of that dub is the option for some people and as much as i like Funimation's dubs, this doesn't work. It just doesn't. The only thing i like is how they didn't dub any of the live songs. That includes the rapping. Thank god, because it just wouldn't work.


Having now fully watched it in both formats, I think they did a good job during the SimulDub. I feel like Sakura comes off *slightly* more bubbly than she does in the original, but I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing.

There's no way *anyone* could match that Japanese VA for Tatsumi, but I think the English VA puts in one hell of an effort. Taken on its own, it's a pretty damn great performance... It's only in comparison to the original's 125% amazingness that it falls at all short.

Looking back at my original post, i might've been little too hard for that dub. I might say Sakura sounds good enough, but there might be times when it's not so good. As for Tatsumi, it's, like you said, impossible to anyone to match that voice, so i'm not going to critize it or anything. Maybe someday i'll watch it completely dubbed and it'll change my opinion. Until then, i'll say it's good.

Saki is such a badass, and that performance is unexpected lol.

Reika-san has a glory past, together with Saki. Bittersweet feeling when she decided to drop that dangerous bike gang path and pursue a normal family.

Animation and music is so good, movements are very fluid in parts like the 3 gangster girls entrance, very cool and badass.

Well, on the one hand, it is enough for me that they devoted a good episode to my beloved Saki and introduced the otokonoko character, but on the other hand, I’m pretty disappointed that Tae's jokes and popularity seem to be becoming a formality.

However, I like the fan theory that Tae is somehow related to Kotaro and is one of the reasons that the plot happened.


for the moment, we have no idea how 7 girl came back to life , especially that 6 have a human behavior 5 have all the memories of their life and 1 amnesic and 1 more or less unmanageable behavior


Well Tae can at least understand the others, as evidenced when she tried (albeit badly) to lie about stealing Lily's fried squid.

Episodes like this make me wonder why Koutaro didn’t at least dye their hair 😭Saki’s friend and Lily’s dad must think they’re going crazy seeing carbon copys of important people in their life just being idols. Also seeing the transphobic comments in this forum referring to Lily as her deadname makes my skin itch. At least most of them are from 2018 so hopefully those people have either learned better or just left this fandom all together.

this episode was beautiful

showed how amazing and perfect saki is

the final song was amazing and deserves congratulations

I believe that maria will return the way she observed saki (which reminded me a lot of sakura in the first episode) maybe as a background character

in addition to the story of saki, showing how she died and so on.

and this came to marry the best scene in the ep, which is her falling on her motorcycle on the percipice and coming back like a fall on the street lol

I'm finally going to watch the next episode soon

Yeah, bruh, the title of these episode unexpectedly so freakin long. But Saki's story wasn't really that long to pass through, and unexpectedly can be solved in the idol way! Well, even though she needs to put such a performance to those gangsta. But the idol performance of her as the center really looking so good. That's it all, Saki gangsta theme spotlight for ya!
