Aharen looked like the cutest thing in gyaru style, and I love how supportive Raidou is, always joining in with what she's doing.

Poor dude got his heart and wallet broken at the same time.

The only time Raidou didn't go with his guts was the only time Aharen did exactly that — kind of funny. Also, the Aharen sisters were adorable in their idol costumes.

Aharen is just the cutest gyaru and Idol ever. Raido is such a sweetheart for always supporting Aharen and joining in with her fun adventures.

Raido really like his chins.

The second part really hurts to watch, that represents me after Takara Tomy decided to slowly kill Pripara.

High production value dance.

When Aharen dressed as gyaru, I thought she could perfectly match with drunk Raido, but Raido defying my expectation and turn himself into gyaru-oh.

After experiencing two end-of-service events myself, I don't want to play online-only game again. Such a shame because they're good game with good community.

Ahaha becoming a gyaru for a single day, that was fun. Also Raidou got emotional over an arcade game but in the end it's just the best way to lose all of your money sadly :( Also an idol group with all the Aharen siblings is just perfect

Oshiro sure pops up in the weirdest places. Aharen gyaru form defo is unique. But so was Raido's. Too bad about the game ending service though just when they got into it too. Kinda amusing to see the game characters fighting over Raido though. The Aharen sisters act sure was fun.

Gyaru Reina and delinquent Raido were sooo cute, Oshiro spawning from under the damn school floor had me cracking up, but the idol second half of the episode was the best part! AHAREN SAN IS AN IDOL ANIME NOW!! 😂

Raido’s created character ideal version of himself in Pripala being a cute idol girl is soo real, he’s literally me lmao. Too bad it ended service just like Pripara irl 😞 but if they take away your idol gacha, just become idols! His little sister and her friends’ performance was adorable. The Aharen family need their own little idol OVA though, I’d totally watch that. That was such a good performance!

Too bad Reina got a little sick the next day and has to wear a mask lol. Chill and cute episode as per usual, love this show man

Another hilarious episode. We got delinquent Shouta back with a brand-new rap, and i don't mean "rap" as in Eminem, but as a new version of the previous delinquent Shouta whose brain convinced him he was drunk when he really wasn't a few episodes ago, haha.

Delinquency aside, gyaru Reina was really pulling it off, with her partially dyed hair, with her laced up blazer, and teacher esteem thinking she's developed esteem resistance and whatnot, only for her 2 get obliterated by the couple as soon as she arrives to class, haha.

That aside, I can't believe our tsundere princess Futaba is back with a brand-new rap too! And again, I don't mean "rap" as in Eminem, but we missed you so much, you little tsundere cutie. As soon as you return, you're already high & mighty from the get-go. Girl's really hilarious, i swear.

Futaba aside, I can't believe we finally saw Shouta's little sister with friends for the first time. I was so excited for any of her two friends to blurt out her name so we could finally get a name for her—only for them to be NPCs and not do that. I'm gonna cry, man. I swear.

Shouta's little sister aside, I loved that Shouta finally realized his bad habit of always imagining extreme conclusions. But I can't believe that as soon as he got one conclusion right for the first time in his life, he says, "I gotta trust my intuitions a bit more." Bro, seriously? He's so hilarious, I swear.

End of service (EoS), the one thing most gacha gamers (amongst others) fear the most. Raidou got that dose of reality when he got addicted to the arcade idol game before it disappeared and seeing him getting split between the old version and the new version was amusing. The true victim of all of this was his poor wallet, which was completely empty. XD

The idol theme continued when there was a local stage in the nearby shopping district. Raidou's sister taking part was pretty cute, but seeing Reina and her siblings taking part was great. Their dance segment was short, but it was well animated and very enjoyable.

This was a fun episode. Next time, going by the title, is the classic beach episode. I'm definitely looking foward to that!

Whether it's a gyaru day or idol time, Raido's desire to encourage Aharen is always so sweet. But bro didn't have to go that far. The gyaru duo was very dangerous for sensei xD

Gyaru-Reina Aharen *heart attack*
Gyaru-o Matsuboshi *sanity shattered*

Toubaru-sensei really needs another jn in her inventory.

Why did Matsuboshi go for such androgynous builds?

Yeah, that Reina-cuan mannequin is still creepy.

"Never going to see her again ..."
Dang boy, she is allready 90% in you head, just harness you great visualization power and you have her everywhere all the time.

His Imouto watching him load the gacha game on his phone thinking 'Whaaaaaat?"

His own creations kick him to the curb when his money is exhausted. The way of the world.

Wow, self reflection of his imagination running away, but then it was correct this time.

OMG!! Aharen Sisters Idols!!!!!

After 3 top-notch episodes, this one was a little bit of a letdown.

My biggest qualm is that they re-used the "joke" with Raido changing personality too soon, and it absolutely missed this time.

Otherwise, the gacha and idol parts were pretty good, but not as funny as they should be in something that is primarily a comedy.

Loved this episode so much.

Aharen in a gyaru style is something I wasn't expecting but she looks really good. The PliPla thing was so stupid. I wasn't expecting Raido to get so invested with that game, he actually became emotionally attached to Rai-chan and Ido-chan, like what???? If Aharen made an idol group, I would go to each and every of their concerts. I don't care how expensive or how far it is. I will go no matter what. Their dancing was actually really good though.

One of my favorite episodes.

I'm only a minute into the episode. Reina has on leg warmers and Oshiro is about to gussy up our girl's hair. Will Raido be able to keep his cool? I hope not.

I Guess idols really are big thing in Japan. I hope Ren has a great future in the entertainment industry. He will do fine with Eru to look after him.

Gyaru Aharen and Raido were too much lol, I love how Raido can just turn these personas on and off, just like his sick and drunk versions, Aharen actually slayed that look too. It’s just unfortunate that once Aharen ditched the look the next day, so did Raido lol, and that was it for the gyaru era of the chill couple.

And although I’m not into PriPara which is what this next bit was referencing, I do understand what it means for an online-only game to end service, so I could definitely understand Raido’s pain here, and not just with the end of those idol games, but the end of his wallet too lol, that really got me. And of course Raido just made himself as an idol girl in the game, but they were oddly cute anyway lol, it was also nice seeing Futaba here again, along with Akkun, of course Futaba was secretly into the game and just wanted to seem grown up.

And last but not least was the Aharen family idol group, one of the very few times Raido’s delusions were right lol, that was a very cute performance by them too, I wish they coulda had a new song for this kinda like Aharen Heart in Season 1 (which actually played for a second after the performance was over) but I’ll take it, Ren has no right being as adorable as he looked during the dance lol. And one last thing I want to mention is that I completely forgot about the Aharen homunculus that Raido put in his room so I did a double take when it got to that scene lol, Raido has a wild collection in that room of his.

One thing I really like about this series is that Ren, Aharen's brother, just gets to wear feminine clothes and express himself cutely and its treated completely normally! Its really sweet how supportive Aharen is to him
Hilarious episode as usual. Aharen and Raido are such a sweet and silly couple. They have a great dynamic!
Cute, fat, chubby, gay, queer, glasses wearing, nerdy, introverted, weird, kinda fucked up in a cute anime girl way, squishy, soft, fucking gay, silly anime girls my beloved

@ajw215799 Yea I think it is. The last two episodes were not good. The storyboard staff changed for the last two episodes 3 and 4. Reading the staff list on some other site (MAL's staff info seems incomplete), it appears that the storyboard staff for episode 4, which heavily features pripara themes, also worked on other anime related to pripara and kiratto pri chan. I don't know what's the relationship with Aharen. it just feels like hardcore promotion for this other work without adding real value to Aharen. The pripara themes in this episode felt forced to me... I don't see Raido engaging with them naturally as a character.

The first two episodes' storyboard staff is the same one as Aharen's first season, which might explain why I started enjoying this show, but since episode 3, my interest has dropped. Not pointing fingers or anything. I just wish Aharen had stayed true to its roots.

@ajw215799 yea me too. both elements work together I guess. I mentioned the storyboards because these are highly visual scenes. it's showing the recurring themes of pripara in grandiose references to it, these are not a secondary reference. it feels like they started from the storyboard featuring pripara and then added the script on top to make it fit...
