| Absolutely hilarious filler episode. And yes, this was the episode I enjoyed the most out of the 6 so far... Mistuki <333333 |
Takuan_Soho said: Now this doesn't mean that the series can't be saved, fantastic episodes from here on out can redeem the show, but this is feeling like it is heading towards Tamako level sales, not the 8-10K or plus sales this show, if done right, could have garnered. Knowing the Kyoani fanbase it wouldn't take much for sure. Honestly I'm still anticipating this episode as a huge turnaround for the show. This is EXACTLY the sort of thing I could see Japan just going nuts for and immediately registering their preorders. |
Takuan_Soho said: Anyway, this episode was interesting from an educational point of view. It shows how an episode can, when viewed in isolation, be very enjoyable, while at the same time be disastrous in terms of it being part of a series. Someone above wrote that this should have been an OVA, they are absolutely correct: from a story telling perspective this episode shouldn't have been here. This. If this was an OVA, it would have been fine. It's only a 13-episode show and we're already at episode 6 so I wasn't expecting something so, for lack of better word, pointless at this point. What was its purpose? I get that adapting a more light-hearted approach after a serious(ish) episode is common but this one is just...it's so out of place. Sure I had a few good laughs specifically the dancing youmu in the beginning and the dog. I guess my enthusiasm was curbed simply because all the while I was watching the show I was thinking "WTH this is so out of place." The plot is already shallow (or probably just poorly written and executed?), I really don't think this episode was necessary. |

| I must apologize for last week's comment... THIS is the weirdest filler ever! KyoAni is really going all the way down with this series. |
| I said it before and I'll say it again: once KyoAni stops pretending their characters have interesting backstories the show becomes much more enjoyable. Their performance at the end already outdid whatever White Album 2 is going to do in terms of visuals. And we got more Mitsuki cuteness~ so this episode was almost perfect (because, you know, there was no progress in the plot whatsoever) That purple eye will become my new avatar... |

| This episode was so funny. The sparkle and then vomit form Hiroomi was funny. That monster exploding every time ,the visits to the shower ,( good times) Idol ,Mirai when she first sang was great horrible but after a week wow she improved. |
 |
| that...... was really really entertaining oh my goodness i seriously was NOT expecting that in the end and i was muttering to myself "what is going on...." but it was still really fun. it was especially great seeing the boys dancing ehhehe but that ending...............failure |

| Oh god........ The way they danced! So freaking kawaii!!!!!!!! x3 Anyways.......it's too bad that they didn't even kill the damn Youmu....but whatever. xD Great episode, as usual. :3 |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |

Too bad White Album 2 has infinitely more likeable and interesting characters than this and is actually about musical performances so it really doesn't matter. Not that people really seem to care about this sort of thing anymore though. As long as it looks nice and is cute it's better right? |

 I miss image BBC Code. May this sig stand as a testament to SSJMaster's power. |
| That was fun. Kudos to KyoAni for some wonderful artwork and animation. I guess all that posing for photographs was good for something. They were all great but Kuriyama was dazzling. Best dance choreography since Hare Hare Youkai. I hope they put together and animate the full song. Then they could put it on iTunes for a couple of bucks. |
| I was nearly moved by their performance with flash backs and all, but I could not help but anticipate the punch line where they forgot who is going to attack the youmu. lol great episode. |

| So much greatness in one episode, that was hilarious. |
 |
| Defeat it with moe. Man that was great. Amazing animation too. |
 |
| Great ep and was i the only one who felt like that Youmu when the song and dance was going on? |
 |
| Was a little too silly. Although Ai was pretty cute at the end. Also those fan service shower scenes. |
| I feel like this episode was inconsistent with the tone the series has presented thus far, but who cares! This episode dished out the best comedy I've seen this season. 5/5 |
| i lost it 100% at the montage during the performance and then Ai jumped in and made it more crazy best filler/troll episode ever. poor smelly Mitsuki |
| This felt like a filler episode...but at least a good one. I laughed my ass off at several scenes and I lost it at the end when they broke out into a choreographed song and dance...and then the very end when they didn't plan the most important part. |
| Best episode.lol that idol show and those flashbacks,LOVED IT XD |
| Enojayable, but it felt so out of place compared to the previous episodes That Yomou was never catched right? |
| This should have been put into an ova instead of the anime. But I guess kyoanis trying to boost sales with idol dancing. After all, sales mean almost everything to the studios. |
| Memories may fade, but that doesn't mean there isn't any point in making them. |
Kaioshin_Sama said: Did I miss something hear or am I just thinking about this more clearly and recognizing patterns with this show more than most? Did you consider that maybe some people aren't cynical? You go on and on, speaking as if KyoAni owes you something. None of us are actually sheeps. If you keep acting as though everyone is blind, that you're one of the only enlightened few who can see this "forced humor," then you're just making yourself look like a crotchy old man. |

| This was quite a funny episode. Loved the formation of the idol group at the end. That song was really good. Funny how no was there to defeat it after it was completely distracted. |

| Hilarious episode, made me laugh a lot. All that work for nothing. |
| wow gay |
| Very enjoyable episode. First it was Kekkaishi, then it was like Chuunibyou and now it's Idolmaster. Kentaro Miura need to watch this show. |
| I was already wondering who was going to kill that youmu when they started dancing and singing. XD |
| It was okay, hilarious episode but that ending... wtf. Yaaaah do hardwork dis and dat den he explodes anyway. Highlight of this epi was Ai |
 |
| I love it! especially in Yakusoku no Kizuna song! |
made by bunnyama |
| Not gonna lie, this might favourite episode yet. I know this is filler and a much more typical KyoAni-style comedy. ... but it just feels more natural that the dramatic episodes to me. Can't resist the moe stuff, yes, but I don't think they can balance them at the level this show tries to and make it without rapid tone-shifts. |

| Akihito: Hiromi, I just remembered something. Hiromi: What is it? Akihito: If I remember right, Kuriyama-san told me that she's a horrible singer. Hiromi: Akkey... Akihito: Hmmm Hiromi: It's too late. I love this episode :) |
 |
| wtf... well i didn't expect this to be some idol show... although this episode wasn't THAT bad, at least had some somewhat funny moments. but i still have the problem that i don't care about any of the characters at all and the plot is wishy-washy :/ guess it's only turning into a slice-of-life after all.. |
 |
| This episode was the the most absurd kind of enjoyment that I was expecting from Kill la Kill. Episode of the season. |
| 5/5 Very enjoyable! It surprised me a bit, the direction of this episode was excellent! Can someone tell me if it was a filler or not? nevermind I got it |
 |
| KyoAni getting desperate by inserting Instant Success Guaranteed Just Add Idols, or were they just have fun? Either way, it was a surprisingly funny and entertaining episode, the bad writing that plagues this show wasn't that obvious this time around. Well done. 4/5. Ps: Idols, who are secretly ghost exterminators. Found it! |
| Moeoverload... hnnng... And that final weapon was just.... unexpectedly... cute. I think I lost a lot of blood. |
| What...the...hell?! OMG!! Not only did I laugh out a lung, but I think I ruptured my spleen as well. And Hiromi...ROFL!!! |
 |
| Funny episode really liked their failures for the most part, thank god for mute function tho because the last part of the episode was just unnecessary i really dislike scenes like that. On the other hand the question that remains is did they defeat the Youmu. |
| I can't believe that this episode is made, feels so weird! XD |
| Somehow this episode felt like a filler (or OVA). so nothing really happen in this. But it was funny overall, trying to defeat the youma in numerous attempts. Pretty much the ending dance was pretty amusing, with some of Ai scenes being to moe. |
