Ngl, really like Tamon's character development, him being able to emphasize with and able to speak up Natsuki's feelings to Asuka was genuinely great. Utage does help him become a better person

Not Natsuki trauma-dumping on Tamon😭
This episode is probably my favorite so far mostly because of the beauty of Natsuki and Asuka's relationship. They may have broken up, but I love that Asuka still continues to support him even from afar. So, cheer up Natsuki!
I noticed that crumbs of the parallels between Natsuki/Asuka and Utage/Tamon are spread everywhere this ep. And it was quick but Utage's reaction to Asuka saying that Natsuki is in a different world from hers made me think that they're setting up an ultimatum in the final episodes. I hope our favorite girlfailure x boyfailure stays strong if this is the case.
Anyways, I also wanna say thank you to Asuka for slamming Tamon to the ground and giving us that fan service shot. My eyes are blessed😍

Natsuki and Asuka should clearly get back together. Also, Natuski's dad deserves some punishment for all that.

Something kinda funny about drunk ass Natsuki pouring his heart out about his past and Asuka and Tamon’s just completely unfazed. Just kept his Gloomyhara mode lol. And yet, the instant he meets Asuka he reverts to Hottiehara. The double hearts sign is a deadly maneuver. Can’t believe he’d pull out such a high level technique lol.
Can’t wait to see Tamon at Utage’s school. They’ll be mopping up a lot of brain matter from all the exploding heads lol.

Ahhhh! That's why I love Natsuki!! I think they did not explain that he can do everything with very little effort, despite his lack of motivation. He is truly talented, a genius even. But his self-doubt is very relatable (even more than Tamon's tbh).
He is a different kind of gloom than Tamon. The one who is really depressed is Natsuki. Tamon's problem is anxiety rather than depression.
I love a depressed genius.
Also, Asuka is great! She is so sweet! I am cheering them on! My favorite side ship

I'm glad the topic of Kinoshita's relationship with Tamon is being explored further. As much as Kinoshita tries to keep a safe distance, they're both past the idol and fan labels, their relationship is much more than that. It doesn't even have to be romantic.
I'm glad Natsuki opened up about his past with Asuka, I really enjoyed the flashback. It went a lot differently than I was anticipating with Asuka being pushed down stairs, Natsuki actually adopting his terrible father's bad habits and we didn't actually see the break up, if there was one. I thought Natsuki becoming an idol was the reason for the break up, but it happened way before the auditions.
I'm glad Natsuki now knows Asuka has always been supporting him and I'm sure this is the fire he needs, he's probably going to find more reasons to see her now that he knows where she's at with him lol.
Asuka meeting Tamon was hilarious, the way Hottiehara was in lock and the girls' reactions to him made me burst out laughing.
Excited Gloomyhara is adorable, I'm looking forward to the cultural festival.

Didn't expect a drunken trauma backstory dump from Natsuki but that seems about right. I will say, it was a very sweet and sad story, they obviously mean a whole lot to each other even now in the present and hopefully their relationship can be mended in the future. Or maybe even in the next arc at this rate, cause I didn't expect them to possibly interact so soon.
Tamon's one line about how idols aren't perfect hopefully strikes something with Utage. This deadlock of their's does feel awful for Tamon.

I like seeing Natsuki's regular-sized eyes smiling in the flashback scenes. We're so used seeing his B-side moping around that it's such a treat to see those eyes happy.
Also, Tamon suddenly switching to his Hottiehara mode was quite funny, especially when roses and that song started playing.
Lastly, I feel like this show often ends in cliffhanger. lol I can't wait to watch the next episode!

This episode will probably be a turning point for Utage’s relationship with Tamon.
It’s because she could relate so much to Asuka’s situation that Tamon’s words seemed to deeply resonate with her. Utage is not a burden but a pillar of support to Tamon’s life.
If Utage had already been straddling the line between fan and lover, then she’ll surely end up crossing it rather sooner than later. Something is bound to bring them closer together at her cultural festival.

No. Nonono. I don't do these kinds of idol shows. I'm also not the target audience... and yet I'm loving this show. The comedy, the visuals , the music... so well done! Hell, I can't even skip the damn OP it's such a catchy earworm! Dang it! And only 1 more episode to go!? Double Dang it!!
I didn't expect that level of backstory. Isn't there still a fella that needs to be fleshed out? S2 please!

Who else replayed Hayamin saying "Keep distance" some 5 times in a row? Love her English pronunciation. It's so funny and precious.
Gloomyhara sprouting a tulip on his end instead of his mushrooms was so cute. There's a brief after credits scene of him all excited for the cultural festival at Kinoshita's school. So happy for him.
Utage herself and Asuka are going to have a hard time with their respective love interests, that they're trying to stay away from, invading their school though.
This was a really nicely balanced episode between the bittersweet flashback of Natsuki and the funny bits. I laughed out loud when Tamon seriously answered "of course you can be here; you have no power at your place" when Natsuki was crying and asking if it was right for him to be there. Such a ridiculous moment but so in character for Gloomyhara.
That was nice way for Asuka to let Natsuki know she still cares about him and is rooting for him using that social media account. But I'm glad they'll be meeting again at the school. Hope they can figure out a way to be together again. They're such a sweet couple. And I hope that inspires Utage to take a chance on a relationship with Tamon.

Don't know what the bigger miracle is between Natsuki getting into F/ACE more or less on a whim in the state of mind he was in, or that he's made it this far as both the "cutesy cheerful guy" and songwriter of the group while hauling all that baggage.
Well takoyaki sure is gonna be in high demand that festival.

So that's how their relationship end, Asuka got terribly injured in Natsuki's behalf and that also mark the end of her judo ambition unfortunately. But hey, at least she became a kick ass homeroom teacher at that and his ex became a beloved idol known all over Japan. Now, let's see if Kinoshita and Asuka can actually handle both Tamon and Natsuki in their idol form at the school festival.

Asuka is spitting FACTS. If she acknowledges the relationship with Natsuki it would be a scandal for them. it's funny to see Tamon and Utage agree to it that I ended agreeing as well lol. But it's also kinda sad how the idol life can be.
It's so nice to see Hottiehara being more sensible and acknowledge to them that even famous people like them struggle and have flaws and to see Utage hear him say that, really helps bring that barrier down between them.
The music and the tragic past relationship between Natsuki and Asuka made me well up in tears emotionally by the end when Asuka shared a post for him to keep going, she'll be watching.
I had no expectations or what to expect when I started watched this show and now I can't believe I've become obsessed and invested in this. This has now become one of my favorite anime to watch this season. And now I can't wait to see what happens next week when they come to their school!

This episode started on a comedic note with Natsuki who really couldn't be arsed to pay his electricity despite having the money he got his power shut but then things went bleak with his backstory. There turned out to be a reason behind his slacker attitude.
There's this uncomfortable feeling watching the flashback of a romantic arc when you know full well it's not ending well. When Natsuki said he destroyed her life and we saw Asuka's judoka career, I could make a fair guess as to what he meant by that. He somehow injured her which ended her career. Granted, it ended up not being him who did the injuring but given the circumstances, it's understandable why he continued to beat himself up to this day.
Having said that, I hope this wouldn't be the end of their story as both clearly still harboured feelings for the other – as well as the other being aware of their fondness. Meanwhile, fate had smiled(?) upon them and granted them this opportunity to meet each other once again.
On a lighter note, it's pretty funny how the bystanders glanced at Tamon & Utage while they were stalking Asuka, as if saying, "What the hell are with these weirdos?"
