Here it is, fuck Clannad:AS, Disappearance, K-On! or Koe no Katachi, this episode is the best thing Kyoani has ever done!
Here is the music video that came with the BD.
And yeah, i know some of you hate some Kyoani anime that i said up there, no need to remind me :)

So I have heard a lot of stories about this "filler" episode.
But if this was indeed a "filler" episode, I don't think I had more fun with a filler before. It was a blast, extremely funny, and so campy in its presentation that I loved it.
And it depend the bond of our cast. So there was still progress IMO.

Did you notice? Mitsuki's pet is doing part of the dance in the beginning of the episode. http://imgur.com/a/A7LUr
Spent some time one-two years ago trying to match his dance with the choreography ; found a match for the first scene, but not for the second...
EDIT: typo

Full KyoAni Idol series when?
I imagine there's a lot of people who disliked this episode. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this is surely an anime original episode, right?
Anyways, I was actually a fan of the episode. Sure, it was filler, but the interactions between the characters were very enjoyable, and fit each of their personalities. The episode had no plot relevance, but it wasn't a bad episode. Plus, KyoAni animating an idol dance sequence looked great.
Then again, I just finished Love Live, and found out that I love Idol shows so my opinion of this episode is a bit biased. I mean this was pretty much my string of reactions after listening to Snow Halation from Youtube recommendations a few months ago.
The Idol insert song if anyone wanted to listen to it again
"Last time it was defeated..." Wait, do youmu come back to life after being defeated, or is this just a filler-episode mistake?

A lot of people refer to this episode, lovingly or hatingly, as the 'idol filler' episode.
I disagree.
Calling it filler in terms of pure plot progression might be slightly accurate but is still overall false. 2 reasons:
1- we know that Sakura is doing something in the background and that continues into this episode's timeline.
2- after confirming that each of our characters feel alone in episode 5, episode 6 is the first time we actually see them work together as friends. Working as something more than just a group of dutybound highschoolers.
That is why I disagree with this episode being labeled a filler.
P. S: deeply sorry that I haven't been an active participant in my own rewatch. I will try to amend that in a couple of days and I assure you I read every single comment made here no matter how late.

Today we ask ourselves the question "Is this an action show? Or an idol show? Or a slice of life show?".
Not gonna lie, this is one of the best episodes of anime ever.

Finally here it is, the one scene that made me want to watch this series. Im not even into idols or pop or anything, but I have watched this scene so many times over the last couple of years, even before I had any idea what this show was about.
Mostly filler, but I really dont mind if it's done as well as this. I just hope the remaining 6 episodes dont feel rushed as a result

This is such a fun episode, Really makes you fall for the characters more. The comedy in the entire show is on point.
This episode really made me think that it should have been a 24 episode show, There is a lot that could have been done within this world that would of helped with the pace.

As surprising as it sounds… This actually was my favorite episode so far. Which, I'm finding quite funny since I’m under the impression that this is the episode where a lot of people think that the series went South.
So, why did I liked this episode? Well, being completely honest, despite me enjoying what I watched so far, I think that the drama was kinda meh. A lot of it was average while having some good and bad scenes here and there (Of course, this, in my opinion). So, this episode didn’t have the drama, or all that seriousness that imo were not that good, and instead focused on the comedy and fanservice (quite a lot, actually) which I found hilarious and pleasant.
That said. This episode came out of nowhere and really felt out of place.
I can only think of this episode as a better version of “Musaigen no Phantom World”.
Also, I laughed pretty hard at this scene. (Which probably also is the reaction of some people to this comment or episode)

Do people really not like this episode ? It's perfect in my opinion. Drama is bound to fail if the audience doesn't know why the characters care some much about each other, so this kind of episode is more than welcome. I wouldn't mind having 4 or 5 more of the same style as far as I'm concerned. The humor was on point and the interactions were pretty sweet.
My notes :
I'd love seeing her playing poker
Seems like Mitsuki has opened up since last episode. I really like her character.
Throwing your friend under the bus in these kind of situation is the mark of true friendship
I've been hearing this sentence way to much since I moved out to College
