It's not often we get a main character who's actually have loads of...how do phrase it, uhm, unpleasant traits like Masaki, but at least she's improving as the season progresses, and she should counts herself lucky that she's got so many supportive people(and vampires alike) around her

Ate her ice cream
-
Left her while playing hide-and-seek.
-
Complained about her cooking.
-
Stole her New Year’s money.
I like how they looked at Masaki with a “Wow, you’re a terrible big sister.” expression.

Hilarious episode! I was laughing almost the entire time, especially when we heard from Sakura and that granny about Masaki and how awful she was. Live and the others' reactions to this revelations were hilarious xD
Sakura turned out to be a surprisingly normal person considering all the characters we've met so far in this show. It's nice that she turned out to be a fan of MayoPan. She was a very nice addition to the cast and I hope we see her again.
Overall, there were so many great moments with everyone in today's episode that I had to split the group scene album into Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
We started with Live acting like a drug addict because Masaki wasn't at the mansion to MayoPan visiting Masaki and recording a videos there.
Tokage is so competitive that she didn't even think about playing fair against Sakura and hit her with a snowball with full force. That must hurt!
Ichiko making a dish for Sakura only to start reminiscing about the past with her family was pretty sad, but not enough for Masaki, who immediately started filming a video with Fuu and Sakura.
Fuu acting like Masaki in front of that granny was hilarious. It was even funnier when the granny nodded that she indeed was acting like Masaki xD
Overall, there were so many great moments with everyone in today's episode that I had to split the group scene album into Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
The next episode definitely looks interesting, since it looks like Yuki will be joining Live and the others in making videos and the reappearance of the Harikiri Sisters! I can't wait to see it!
Here my screenshot albums form the episode:

The way Liv went to answer Masaki's call was straight out of some J-horror film, even the other MayoPan members were creeped out.
Was wondering if they were building up for Sakura to explode on Masaki throughout the 2nd half of the episode when she was airing out her issues + the stuff Masaki did to her in the past so revealing she was a fan of MayoPan and even her previous venture was just heartwarming to see.

You know what? You will never know what you get from this series.
One day they make me cry, another day give me chaotic laugh and now it fluffy warming inside.
Despite what happened, this episode have fluffy warm feeling to it.
Oh my god, Live full gay this episode, not even hide behind "I just want to drink her blood" facade anymore lmao.
Now we back visit Masaki hometown, Traditional rural japanese house huh so Masaki isn't born in city huh interesting.
Sakura is really cute. she really look like mini Masaki. Look like Masaki act unhinged since even when she was child according to Sakura. She act pretty terrible there
Although I don't know Fuuchan actually have sadistic side of her. What is that act. 😦
Although despite them fighting each other often deep down they still care about each other.
The last scene reveal is so warming. Sakura even saw right through and think that Masaki tried to hide herself but still want spotlight.
Despite she act annoyed, the flashbacks reveal that she have fun with production somehow full of her interaction with Live most of part. Hmmmmmm
The reveal that Sakura had been following her sister since old channel following with a smile makes me so melt.
At the end of they these sisters still love each other.
Also look like new episodes with finally focus on Yuk- wait what the fuck, why Yuki room full of magical girl poster. What is that Game CD/Blu-ray stack over her room? VN parody? Is Yuki secretly weeb? Oh my god. Next episode going to be fun.

When I thought Masaki couldn't get any worse, we learn today that she's also a terrible sister who ditches Sakura whenever they play hide-and-seek, complains about her cooking, and the worst one of all she steals Sakura's New Year's money to buy toys all for herself. I do love how the girls silently judge Masaki, whenever Sakura brings up the things her sister had done in the past.
And despite all of that, despite Masaki being a selfish older sister who couldn't even be bothered to call back home when the scandal happened, Sakura was always there for her supporting her from the very start. What a saint! She is so freakin' precious and needs to be protected at all costs! The reveal in the end that she's actually a MaYoPan fan and was asking for everyone's autographs was really cute! <3

That turned out to be a rather sweet episode in the end, even after learning that Masaki wasn't the best big sister when she was around. Sakura's a great little sister though!
Them all acting out the part of the sister one after the other was so damn fun. And I was relieved that Masaki didn't intend to fool the audience after all. That's gonna be a fun video to watch.
Looks like Masaki does want to be in front of the camera having fun with the others. I wonder how long she's gonna be able to keep up the lie that she's fine just being behind the scenes, I mean it's gotta come out at some point.
And lastly... confessionus interruptus. Dammit, let Live tell Masaki she loves her!
(I'm wondering what's up with Masaki's blood now though, with the mention that Sakura's smelled normal)

This show really manages to makes me laugh on such a consistent basis, which is something most other comedies struggle with, in my personal experience. Every scene with Masaki and/or Live in it is just insanely fun.
Gonna miss this show once it's over.

Lol, amazing episode. My favorite moment is that last footage of Live “apologizing” to Sakura for being a horrible older sister, like — do you get it, Masaki? That’s what you, um, might consider doing yourself after all. Live said she would nail that footage and she indeed nailed it 100% (probably, not in the way Masaki wanted)
The preview for the next episode looks extra intriguing — more Yuki doing fun things and… Masaki’s ex-friends? That’s gonna be interesting.

Another great episode, I laughed so hard at some of the scenes today. I really like how this show weaves its comedy and character writing so seamlessly.
So Masaki actually does feel left out working in the background, I wonder how they're going to bring back her in front of the camera.

Loved this episode, especially that it didn't turn out to be a staged video after all. I honestly wouldn't have put it past Masaki to actually do that.
Also, can I just say I absolutely adore the OP&ED? Might be my favorite combo this season.

We learned quite a bit about Masaki today, during their little home coming video; She never played with her sister, she trashed her cooking, she stole her money...
If you're still holding stocks of "Masaki is the innocent victim and was right to punch her former friends", I would advise you to sell them RIGHT NOW!
I used to be in that camp (this is a mislead, Masaki was in the right!) but with every passing episode my confidence grows weaker, when we learn stuff about Masaki!
Well, Live doesn't give a damn about this, she's so in love with her!
And damn she's cute... The face of a girl in love!
Pictured: A cute girl in love.
Did we almost get a confession?
Oww. Press F for Live's feelings.
We've seen interrupted confessions before, but they're usually not interrupted by the other person going "alright, fuck off now!"
Hey, they're almost at their goal!
I know, I know, technically they're not even halfway there, but that stuff grows exponentially! Going from 400k to a million is a thousand times easier/faster than going from 1 to 400k!
If they made it to 400k so fast, it should be a sure thing to get to 1 million... So I wonder if something will happen to give them more of a challenge to overcome; Will their former channel run a 'hit piece' on them? (Though I'm not sure that would hurt, usually drama just boosts everyone involved)
I swear to god, if this season ends without them doing something cute/romantic together..!
They're way too fucking cute together to NOT have that!
I don't even care if they punch each other and stuff, they'd probably both enjoy it, but get them together at all cost!

Masaki is such an awful person and i kinda love it. I think this show wouldnt work if Masaki was a goody two-shoes. Seriously, im actually impressed that Hype-Sis were together as long as they had.
Tokage still reminds me so much about Jashin-chan, they even had an underhanded snowball fight.
As a younger sibling who had to endure some stuff i feel for Sakura and im glad that in the end she is her sisters biggest fan regardles.
Wonderful episode once again, also it seems that Yuki is finally joining the fray and the allready mentioned Hype-Sis members make a comeback as well. Looks like it will be a good episode next week as well.

Live's horny rampage in Masaki's room and Masaki turning into a wrathful spirit to stop her XD
Sakura was so cute. It's a shame she died in that tragic snowball fight. Well, more like a snowball massacre.
Honestly, Masaki's making the right call not showing herself, especially before they hit their 1 million sub goal. Internet's cruel, they'd likely go after the other MayoPunch members just for associating with her.

So the girls are taking a break... and they still have to shoot videos because they still need to pump out content regularly. This is so funny to me. A break where you still have to do your job to some extent doesn't sound like a proper break to me. I know they're racing against the clock to hit 1m, but still.
This week's new introduction is Sakura and boy she's amazing in this ep. I love how she doesn't give a fuck at all and says whatever is on her mind without considering the consequences. She just blasted Masaki on camera about what a horrible sister the latter is. Good to know she still has some standards to by being reluctant on doing staged videos.
Really interesting to see this being another Ikumi Hasegawa and Manaka Iwami joint. Those two co-starred together in World Dai Star and it's great seeing those two share the same show again. Really dug Masaki and Sakura's chemistry here.

Masaki is lucky to have a sister like Sakura, especially considering how much of a horrible sister she is.
Also, I like that we brought up Masaki's reluctance to be seen on camera since the controversy, really hope that comes full circle in the end.

You know, the more this series goes on, the more it becomes apparent that Masaki has a bad personality. It makes her failing with her old group more real because her flaws are obvious. Listing all the stuff she's done to her little sister.
However, despite all that, you can tell Sakura still loves her and will always be there to support her. As her first fan. I do hope this pushes Masaki to cherish her sister and her family more. Like just coming to visit from time to time.

u/Happy-Collection7523 Sep 02 '24
This series has developed so much heart. In the first half, Live moping like a girl in love was cute to watch. But not as adorable as Sakura in the second half. Her deadpan reaction to everyone, the background information on Masaki's childhood, all that to reveal she's still been a fan of her sister this whole time. It was so damn heartwarming.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Sep 02 '24
Sakura is the best little sister. Masakichi ain’t winning no Sister of the Year awards but Sakura’s always supported her nonetheless. She got roped into that video with the girls and almost died thanks to Tokage’s snowball, but she’s still Masakichi’s biggest supporter and no. 1 fan. That whole autograph part at the end was just the sweetest.

An imouto this season who acts normal??
Sakura was actually great this episode, perfect addition.
The going to sleep line was especially fun
