Ah damn it, Aqua and Kana came so close to talking things out and the opportunity slipped away. Aqua might be really smart, but he doesn't seem to understand why kissing Akane on Love Now would upset Kana. I really do hope they patch things up.

The depth of each minute.. this is how a episode is done, incest jokes, drama, romance with jealousy. The struggle is real and fun. and lets not forget that bell pepper dance ffs I top tier show kek

They already leaked it, it’ll probably be next year

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

Oh damn Kana can really sing. She needs to not be so hard on herself, she could easily be the center for B Komachi if she wanted to. Her song was great. And lmao at Mem's real age. She's been deceiving us all the whole time lol. 
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

I like how B Komachi is stepping up, and Kana is too shy about her skills, she's definitely the best when it comes to singing, she needs to be the lead then. (And lmao Mem-cho being 25 years old)

B-Komachi let's go! I loved the girls and the relationship they have started to have. Mem is such a sweetheart and I love them all for being the real one about how unfair the industry is towards women and ageism.

Kana is my favourite character foe a reason. I loved how the ep delved into her psyche and hew low confidence. I hope we see my girl shine real soon 'cause she is bloody amazing. The music video and the bell pepper dance had me!

lol Aqua being confused and lowkey hurt by Kana's avoidance was fun to see. You reap what you sow Aqua!

Damn Kana is not alright. This show gets me really feel for the characters. I wonder will Aqua find other members before the festival. Maybe not since its' short notice even for the current members. I hope Ruby will be the center cuz of the same wow-factor that Ai had. Maybe they'll decide together that Kana should be the center. Looking forward to JIF :D

Hats off to Doga Kobo for going all out with the MVs for Kana. Nothing much happened in the episode, especially with Aqua's meeting with the producer. As usual, the pacing seems slow, but I'd rather have this build-up and pacing than a rushed story and development. We also can see a lot more character moments so it's a treat.

Still, the episode is endearing as it further solidifies the revival of B Komachi. Ruby seems pretty hyped about it, and now Mem-cho is joining the group too! But the question is still up there, who will be B Komachi's center? Although pretty much already implied, it would be best for Kana to take up the role, not only because she's fit for it but because I believe it would be helpful for her character development. Let it be Kanaa!

Here's hoping we can see them covering some old B Komachi songs in the next episodes.

Yaaaaaay Mem is actually my age xD It's great when the waifu is not underage lol It also explains why Mem and Aqua acted so maturely behind the scenes, they are both adults after all xD

But I've gotta say, this anime does an incredible job at portraying characters one way and then showing us a completely different side to them that we would have never expected, like Akane being a genius actor or Kana being a good singer!!

I'm so happy that Kana is probably gonna be the center of the B Komachi after this episode (If I had paid a little more attention to the opening before then this and Mem joining wouldn't have been such a surprise to me, but where's the fun in that? xD)

As much as I love Akane, I am team Kana when it comes to who gets together with Aqua. I actually think she has a solid chance, since Aqua has stated he isn't interested in Akane or Ruby romantically! :D

Except he tried to manipulate her by being vague, but Akane saw through him and asked that he clarify his position. If Akane was not smarter than Aqua he would have succeeded.

Wow, the animation staff for this show sure love Kana, and I'm all for it! I found myself connecting more to her problems this episode than the rest of the episode, which I found to be one of the weaker episodes so far, although there was some good commentary around the industry that was interesting. There's a lot of silliness in this show, and some of it hits, some of it I don't particularly care about. The trio of B-Komachi right now has some nice chemistry, and Mem-cho is 25? Shocking, I know.

As I said, Kana is carrying my enjoyment on the show right now, as the story of her being famous as a child, and then aging out of the category to being only known as "that one child actor back then". Combined with her jealousy towards Aqua's relationship with Akane, she must have a lot of doubts about her future and what she wants to do, and hopefully the revived B-Komachi can be uplifting for her. 

Also, that "Full Moon" music video was really well done, shows how much the staff love her character as I mentioned.

Wow Mem-Cho is actually 25 years old, but she claimed all this time to be 18 years. There's some backstory with Mem-Cho. I actually felt really bad for Mem-Cho's mom who landed in the hospital and she even took on jobs to take care of her family. B Komachi has been reborn. Minami & Frill got some screentime finally after so long.

The new reborn idol group are doing their dance trainings. Arima is cold towards Aqua since he kissed Akane in the tv show. Aqua gets some useful information towards Ai. The group decides to have a battle for who is gonna be the center of the group and they will have battle at the karaoke. Mem-Cho & Ruby decides to choose the broccoli song from Arima but then they discover other songs from her and they take a listen. Wow Arima thinks that she's a bad singer? Is this a joke? That was amazing lol. She even got a score of 97 at the karaoke.

Aqua made Kana cry... deep inside.... .⁠·⁠´⁠¯⁠`⁠(⁠>⁠▂⁠<⁠)⁠´⁠¯⁠`⁠·⁠.
I need to see the next episode of what will happen to Kana's decision.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

I'm probably part of a good portion of the fanbase that was surprised about Mem-Cho's age. I had no doubt beforehand that she was 18, but the fact that she's actually 25 years old and can look the part of a high school girl better than most high school girls is a testament to how well she looks after herself. Not only that, but I had more sympathy for her after she told her backstory about how she dropped out of high school to take on part-time jobs to support her ill mother and her little brother's own educations.

As a whole, my respect for Mem-Cho has grown a lot. =)

The rest of the episode was an amusing watch of seeing how Ruby, Kana and Mem-Cho would plan their next move now that they're B Komachi now. While the girls are hard at work on getting their dancing choreography spot on from past B Komachi songs, figuring out who'll be the main star of the group proved to be more tricky than they thought it would be.

After some digging around at the karaoke bar, both Mem-Cho and Ruby are sure that the role will fall on Kana's shoulders after discovering that she's made plenty of songs during her career prior to joining B Komachi. The one that played, Full Moon, had the full music video treatment and it was fantastic. Not only did Kana look stunningly beautiful in a full length sundress and sunhat, but her voice sounded almost angelic. I can understand her insecurities about being the lead singer, but that talent shouldn't go to waste. I can only hope that Ruby and Mem-Cho can convince Kana to loosen up, stop being so hard on herself and become the main singer of the group. It'll help her a lot, I'm sure of it!

NGL. It's kinda funny how so many people are shocked about Memcho actually being 25, while claiming she's 18.

This isn't very hard to pull off if you have a naturally youthful appearance and even IRL it's not uncommon to encounter people who do not resemble their age.

I'm amazed at how this anime goes from 100 to 0 so quickly. Memcho on screen is 100, Ruby is 100, Akane is 1560 (she's the GOAT), but when Kana appears, it immediately drops to 0. This lady has the charisma of a Crocs shoe.


AKANE, MEMCHO AND RUBY



FINALLY, FOR THE GOD'S SAKE.

More of a happier episode, I really like the attention they put to everyone's outfits especially Kana's. Gave her a Baking Soda shirt lol  Her MV was great too. Now Kana gets to be the centre maybe she'll get Aqua's attention? 
Also Ruby noticed Akane- Ai connection, hope she meets her in person soon
