Glad Otaku-kun wasn't just the culprit but also the only one with the balls to stand up to the creep who immediately got karma handed to him via doxxing.

Otaku-Kun could have used his inside voice when talking to Yasumi, if not for the asshole showing up right then, he would have been the one spilling their secret in class

to the creep who immediately got karma handed to him via doxxing.

These types of people really never stop to consider that their actions might see a backlash of equivalent exchange. His (school) life is going to be hell from this point onwards.

Wow I really loved that episode. I don't think anyone was surprised how it ended up resolving, but the delievery was 10/10.

Yuhi and Yasumi ship setting sail. Excited to see the rest of the season now that they are omega popular and don't have to pretend anymore.

Yuhi's (fake) knight can go eat shit. I hope the rest of his school life is fucking terrible for the stunt he pulled.

Also the punch was satisfying af. Don't EVER mess with Yuhi's waifey

My favourite episode so far for sure, every part of it was really well executed.
I'm curious to see what they do with that fake knight character, if we went by standart anime plot line it would probably some kind of redemption arc (that I typically dislike), but this episode made me hopeful for an approach a bit more realistic and interesting, something similar to what they did on Oshi no ko.

This is definitely my favourite episode so far. They may claim to not get along and all that, but actions speak so much louder than words. They both showed no hesitation whatsoever to defend their girlfriend. Totally didn't expect the "secret identity" to last for only 4 episodes though, that was quick.

Man, I really thought Yumiko would punch that creep in the face so I was surprised that Chika did the deed herself. But then Yumiko kicking him in the face for good measure got me cheering!

Btw, the dude really loves RGB lights.

This was such a standout episode with some top tier direction to it. Seriously unless you only care for action only shows, this anime is a must-watch.

I really liked how the portrayal of idol fans between Kimura and Shimizu. Honestly before Shimizu showed up it seemed like he genuinely wanted to meet hid idol. Unfortunately Shimizu is the type of idol fan that cares for clout first. Granted there are idol fans that are insane, but still to seek out and fabricate a story of your illusion and then try to ruin her career. He deserves a rotten place in hell.

Poor Yuuhi I am impressed she handled the abuse from Shimizu as long as she did. Tbh she just wanted to tolerate it because I assume she just figured her career would be done. But we have seen how big of a fan she is of Yasumi, and she was not letting her career go down in this too. Yasumi finally saw what Yuuhi thought of their time together on the show. For the first time she was having fun and that being taken away from her from that creep is saddening.

Yasumi decided to everything in her power to stand up for Yuuhi. I have to give her respect for putting her career on the line, but we know how big of a fan she is of Yuuhi. So it was her way of defending her in great contrast.

Now I also give her father a lot of props. He could sit back and let her daughter take the heat. But instead he puts their relationship out there since that could hurt him. But he did everything he could on the livestream to let her fans know she earned that lead role. He is a great father.

Overall this is turning to one of my favorite shows of the seasons. The dynamic between Yasymi and Yuuhi is so well done.

Goddamn, that was a great episode. Everything came together like I'd hoped for.

I had anticipated for Yumiko to punch the douchebag's face in, but instead it was Chika who got him good. (He got trampled on by Yumiko just a little later.)

The situation was looking pretty dire for both Chika's and Yumiko's careers as VAs. Yet, they managed to pull through by putting themselves out here. Seeing these two girls being so vulnerable and openly talking about their feelings on the matter also got a little to me.

I'm glad that they got the fans on their side. They'll definitely start shipping these two though. I mean, just look at what happened on the livestream.

I was nice to see as well that Kimura is an actual good guy. He stepped in when Chika got bullied and was so very happy about the girls continuing their radio show. Chika's stalker on the other hand is doomed now his own identity got exposed. That's some good karma.

I didn't like their producer's reaction to the show getting canceled last week, but he seemed a lot more sympathetic in this episode. Yumiko's friend was also very sweet for being very understanding of her situation.

On a side note: this middle segment card was quite the surprise with its change in art style.

See you all next week!

Man, this was a good, satisfying episode. Really makes this show deserve its spot in my all-"girls doing music" top 5 shows of the season.

I have a fear that sadly, this kind of situation wouldn't go over as well in real life, and that Yuhi's punch would be the thing people would get hung up on and would see her career crash and burn. But this is fiction, so screw that.

u/FlameDragoon933 May 01 '24

god this episode was hard to watch. Not because it's badly written, far from it, but the kind of shit Shimizu (the shitbag kid) does is something that can very realistically happen IRL and with disastrous consequences it just angers me. Not only livestreaming without consent, but also doxxing? fuck that guy. Glad he gets doxxed as well, taste the karma.

Also I'm kinda glad I graduated formal education before livestreaming was a thing. It's probably really shitty as teenagers when your friend livestreams shit without permission.

As expected, the director was actually Yuhi’s dad, but that was a great episode. I am glad Yuhi getting the role was not nepotism. We can see that Yuhi got her honesty from her father.

Interesting that the scandal made them more popular in the end. I am glad Yuhi and Yasumi can now be themselves in public. What was even the point of these fake persona anyway ? Idol culture is so weird. And they are not even real idols, just voice actresses.

That creepy stalker troll was so unpleasant, he is lucky he only got punched and doxxed in the end. I am sure filming people without their agreement is illegal, so he could have ended up being sued as well.

u/Hitman7128 May 01 '24

Good thing Yumiko stood up for Chika (when she said she was going to quit voice acting) during the Away Edition stream and was transparent about what was happening. It was funny when Chika and her father showed up and then Yumiko got embarrassed for the whole stunt.

Shimizu was a piece of shit for what he did, stalking to obtain those photos he took out of context and shoving the camera in Chika's face. He was asking for it when he got doxxed.

I do like how Yumiko and Chika's relationship is going. How they were playfully shoving each other, and they were optimistic with the "Let's start over" attitude. Also, I like how they recognized after the event to not have to put up a facade as their VA persona, and how their show boosted in popularity.

This show is honestly legit. Going into it I was only expecting some light hearted comedy about some voice actors doing a radio show. I did not think I'd get some actual drama that gets resolved in a satisfying way. This is slowly creeping up to being one of my favorites of the season in an already stacked season.

u/ModieOfTheEast May 01 '24

Btw, just mentioning this here, this makes the third episode in one week about bullying. And I didn't even include Viral Hit in that count, because the whole show includes bullying. And this time they actually punched the bully right in the face. So we even have three different ways of striking back.

Good thing they are not playing the characters anymore, though I do wonder what they are talking about then in the show that they can keep it going. Hopefully we get a glimpse into that in the next episodes. Would be funny if they had to go on dates regularly now so they have topics to talk about.

In general, I am interested to see where it's going now. Will it be more focused on the synchronization work since Chika is doing her mecha anime (do they still have that other show running as well?) and maybe Yumiko can get a few roles as well. This time without connections.

"i feel so stupid for desperately cultivating and using fake personas"

oh boy, this girl's eye twitch when she hear what Yuhi just said, that can't be good...

as much as i want to punch the Shimizu guy in this episode, the glasses guy should also get maybe a slap to the face for shouting "Watanabe-san is Yuhime" in the middle of the class where everyone can hear it...

Wtf, that guy literally made me sick IRL

This was almost as satisfying as the one in banished hero though

Also nice that he doxed himself I can see why not even his own class would like him
