| Subaru trying to explain the fight to the onlookers as a drama shoot was hilarious |
 |
| Good Ninan and Momoka relationship development, especially how it ends with this "confession" from Nina, seeing more of her past is still as sad before... she was forced to apologize to her bully, but obviously couldn't and just ran out from the classroom... |
 |
| Ye this was bound to happen but now that they've got it out of their system it's time to actually focus on making songs and defeat diadust. Also Momoka was seeing herself in Nina after all. Btw was Rupa speeding with just the two of them there? Just realised she actually might be foreign too. |
 |
| Maybe I dont understand what "going pro" actually means, but I dont see Momokas issue at all here. I could understand her leaving DD since they wanted to change their style and Momoka was basically in charge of the bands style since she wrote the songs, but here? She IS popular, they have a decent following already, have always been well received, not a single bad performance and yeah Rupa and Tomo arent exactly unknown either. She has all the necessary experience and connections even. I mean can they even "fail"? She had no issues going to that club and having to buy into the tickets first. If just not calling yourself "pro" and aiming for DD would be good enough for her then whats the issue? Its not like they have been forced to change their style and go sellout. Just do what you do and see if it works out. Also what do they even mean by followers? DD had 20k last ep but TT already has 27k? The wall slamming actually looked very bad in 3dcg Also yeah PEAK. I realized Im really not good with angsty shows/episodes. I kinda feel bad for DD, like they basically did what they thought they needed to do after they dropped out of school because of Momoka and then this new kid declares band war with their old member. Must sting. PS: this is why I adore original anime, adaptions just dont hit like this |

| absolute cinema this episode was, so glad I came back to this after it finished airing since I wasn’t the biggest fan in the beginning but each episode is just better than the last; I hope they shit on Diamond Dust in this upcoming festival |
 |
| this show freaking slaps. really does live up to its name; there's girls, there's bands, and there's cry. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| DRAMAAAAAA~ But really tho, these girls are so dramatic lol, but I love it, at long last Nina and Momoka settled their differences, and we also got to find out why Momoka quit Diamond Dust, but the thing Momoka doesn’t know is that the key is to make it big going commercial, then once you have all the money you start making the music you’ve truly wanted to all along. And also, there’s nothing wrong with more commercial jams, I take them along with the deep cuts, you can do both, you can sneak in your true art pieces on an album headed with a hit single, but I’m also talking like I know what I’m talking about which I kinda do and kinda don’t lol, mainly going based on all the albums I’ve listened to with is very many, but when it comes to music as a business I am not very knowledgeable. And we also got a meeting between Momoka and her old band mates, aka the current Diamond Dust, and while for them it was more of a heartfelt reunion, to Momoka and Nina it was like a declaration of war lol, I’m definitely looking forward to the next handful of episodes now that the whole band is in this together, along with the new developments. Also how dare they actually have a 2D animated flashback, over here making me wish the whole show looked like that lol. |
| Bit of an awkward episode, but we finally got to see Momoka and Diamond Dust's full backstory. Nina is more determined to throw hands than Momoka too; what a twist! |
 |
| Glad I wasn't the only one who sees Nina throw a tantrum until everyone else sees it her way |

WOW what a good chapter for God's sake, although sometimes NINA annoys you because of her attitude, but you can't hate her
| @Rayas2412 nah, I hate her much. So dramatic and annoying. |

Nina just cannot have a normal conversation with someone, it's impressive. Subaru tries to defend her yet Nina keeps on shitting Momo, I kinda get why she was bullied lol And that love confession was nice, but nah it ain't yuri shit, in Japan is normal to say "I love you" to people you are intimate with, without it being in a romantic way. Nina said it was a confession because even though it's normal, it's still weird to tell that so someone you just had non-stop fights with lol Now, if it really were a romantic confession, then whatever honestly, this anime is clearly not going the yuri route, or any romantic way for that matter, and I only care about Subaru character-wise anyway. For real, people is braindead, "good close friends = homosexuality", what a way to tell everyone you just don't get how social interactions and friendship works. Also why do they try to blame Subaru, poor girl, Nina keeps saying stuff like "I don't want to say I am wrong", well, if there is a character that hasn't done anything wrong at all that is Subaru ❤️ Thanks to her the band even exists lol |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |

| > SUBARU I LOVE YOU The popular abbreviation for Subaru is 486 among asian Girls Band Cry fans. This comes from South Korea and literally means I Love You (being the number of calligraphy strokes required for writing 사랑해 in Hangul alphabet). Nina is 27 (Ni-Nana ?) |
| Absolute peak. There's no better way to confess your love. Nina absolutely nailed it, she brought Momoka back to the game. NINA HIT MOMOKA STRAIGHT INTO HER HEART. dude... what an unthinkable chaos. |
| Glad that's over, but I have mixed feelings about the resolution... Nina won some points from me this episode for being so heartfelt as she tried to reach Momoka. Nina's words at the Diamond Dust show were on point. "You're using me to run away" and "please stop being scared" were really moving and got to the core of the problem. It was also touching how much Momoka's song exactly meant to Nina in the past, as she was shown to have walked away from the bully singing that. But it was still annoying how Nina basically just flailed at Momoka for most of the time, provoking her and demanding her to surrender. Her "go ahead and hit me, you're just the same as the rest" was the height of self-righteousness and some straight-up gaslighting. So Momoka's the bully here? She's trying to ruin her life and dreams? Meanwhile, I'm still glad that Momoka was brought down a few pegs, as she was being way too stubborn this late in the game. But I still find her much more relatable and sympathetic than Nina. She feels trapped between love and fear, which actually comes from experience. It's not just fear for herself, it's fear of leading the whole band down a ruinous path, which already happened once and she (selfishly, she thinks) escaped on her own. It was a nice touch that it's her Diamond Dust bandmates that push Momoka over the edge and back into her new band. But again, it doesn't feel like "the Nina problem" was properly addressed and resolved in all of this. She just did and said whatever she wanted to and got away with it scot-free. She was right the whole time, reality be damned. She is right to quit school and send her parents' money back. Good job, Nina, you saved the band! I'm reminded of a somewhat similar conflict between Kumiko and Asuka in Sound! Euphonium S2. And I loved how they handled that situation and the characters. The stakes were arguably lower, but it felt like both sides were sensible, and both sides got some serious reality checks in the process. And most importantly, the love and care those characters had for each other was very believable and touching. Maybe this is just a "pursue your dreams and it will be fine" kind of show after all, even if that was not the impression I got until this point. Maybe this is "protagonist fixes everything" kind of show. But Subaru was the sane one as usual, explaining the situation to Momoka and pushing her to actually think and make a decision. And I liked Rupa's patience and quiet optimism. I'm not sure I like what Nina brings to the table... |

| So that's why there is cry in title🥲 What an episode... |
| I had a rediculous long delay to get to this episode. Got hung up on other things and rewatched everything I feel like Nina and Momoka act more aggressive than makes sense but I get where both of them are coming from in a way but not at face value. I dont think Momoka makes sense at her wanting to leave the band she is in currently, wheras I totally get her wanting to leave the previous one especially with those girls acting all weirdly catty about it this episode saying how they were right. Like wtf? No, it's difference in goals. That confession felt kind of ambiguous in context. While I always was getting mild yuri vibes I don't feel there is all that much chemistry between the two but Im not really against it either it can go either way for me and im fine with either way since i dont feel too invested in that. |
