Love my girls! They did so well! Yeah, I know there’s only so much someone can expect from a final episode, but for me, this was so wholesome. You can really connect with all the members, and you can feel proud of the journey they had to take to reach this point. So far, there’s no second season, just a Switch2 game, but I feel satisfied after watching this anime. Totally recommended! P.S. I had to go and listen to “Sweet Surrender” again. The song is perfect, and the animation is 10/10.

We get more context about Ren and Haru’s friendship, as well as their journey to becoming idols. However, it's a bad time for Kyoka to feel discouraged, but yeah, Ren’s words clearly affected her deeply. Although Kyoka is a very strong leader, she can also be very self-conscious.

What a great thing it would be to have someone schedule all your duties, haha. But also, it seems so demanding. In this case, though, it’s worth it because the girls need more visibility. By the way, the audacity of Ren-chan going to pick up Haru and calling out all the girls. It was so funny when they all said together, “Shut up, Haru!”

This was a great episode about how your greatest strength can also become your weakness. It’s hard to imagine someone being so noble that they would give up their dream just to avoid hurting the people, just for being talented! Haru learned the lesson, Now let's see the real TINGS!

Wow! We're having high impact episode! We had a full context how was TINGS! when they were a 5 member group, the sacrifices the did, the effort and Haru true potential. Is it worth it to hide your real potential to not hurt the ones you love? and Who's trully Haru Nabatame??

In the previous episode, the manager mentioned the next challenge while looking directly at Momiji and Yukine, and that’s when we basically understood the meaning behind TiNgS! So, while watching, you can totally understand the dilemma. However... what a surprise!

It’s so moving to see how Rio-chan’s story is developed. Behind that mask of overconfidence, there is only a mirage, and underneath it, weakness. It reminds me of the phrase, “One of your worst enemies is your ego.” I’m so glad to follow this journey with the girls. Let's see what's the next therapy session =D

Rio-chan has her own issues too =( I like how the show gives attention to each member’s struggles. It shows that behind great talent, there is also a lot of inner work to do. Here, we can see the difference between saying you’re great and truly believing it.

This was a very emotional fourth episode. Kyoka is struggling with “impostor syndrome,” something everyone has probably felt at some point. But for an artist, that feeling can hit even harder. By the way, the phrase “Idols don’t do what is right; they do what they want” is such a great lesson. It’s quite profound when talking about being true to yourself.

Ah yes, that moment in life when you feel a heavy weight inside you, holding you back. Sometimes, the only way to succeed is to face what you believe you can’t do. Kyoka is trapped by her own vulnerability, but the manager knows exactly what she needs to do.

It’s great to see how the girls are growing and coping. It also makes you think about all those idols who work so hard to build their careers. What’s the secret behind their success? Is it just talent? It’s really interesting to see how the manager analyzes the group’s strengths and weaknesses. The soundtrack, so far, excellent.

The cliffhanger was too much, they ended the last episode to be the setup for the next season. Too bad i was kinda hoping for powerful performances as the last episode of this season, but still i enjoyed this last episode. I am looking forward for the clash of the two girl groups in the next season.

I just realized, there are lots of flashbacks in each episode lately. Usually that will cause the pacing of the story to slow down. But it's quite the opposite, those flashbacks serves as build up to what's coming next. And it makes me excited to watch.

I can really relate to the girls' struggles, being an idol is not just about glitz and glamours. It's all hard work and dedication. Also, HY:RAINS performance and the animation is so good. I love this episode.

I really enjoyed TINGS's performance on stage, they sounded like legit idols. The choreography really fits the five of them and it was really cute. I really like this episode.

The truth is out, now everybody knows how Yukimiji was formed. It's heartbreaking to act all tough to let your friends grow for their own sake. A true friendship sacrifice.

The rivalry between the two girl groups is bitter-sweet. They are not enemies, nor companions. I like where the story goes so far.

Keep fighting, dear girl—do not ever lose heart or falter along the way. This is such a beautifully crafted story that I have truly come to love. Although so many trials and hardships have come their way, I found myself deeply moved and captivated by this entire episode.✨

There were moments in this episode that truly made me laugh aloud 🤣🤣🤣, yet there were also scenes that stirred a quiet sadness within me. I only hope that they do not falter or lose their resolve in the face of difficulty. The narrative is unfolding beautifully, carrying such wonderful flow and depth.✨

I truly believe in the saying: mistakes are simply stepping stones along the path to success. I felt every beat of the story in this episode; there were scenes that pulled at my heartstrings and brought tears to my eyes. Every moment was crafted and written with such care and beauty. I also loved the songs chosen for this—they carried so much feeling that my heart was completely swept away by the emotion of it all. 😭😭
