| Tuesday doesn’t really have a great taste in men, does she? Rather like Kyle, but not Carole’s right: careful round that type The political plot doesn’t bother me as much, but I’d wish we get more interactions between Tao and Ertegun - they’re hilarious. And more Roddy!!!! |
Hatsuyuki said: FMmatron said: Just didn't feel Tuesdays crush on Kyle and the political sub-plot is hella corny. So I wasn't the only one that felt like this came out of nowhere ? How come Tuesday suddenly has a crush on the reporter dude. It has absolutely no development behind it. So dumb. Thank you! That's exactly how I felt |
| So in this one episode Tuesday develops feelings for male version of herself and gets her heart broken. All in a single episode. Wouldn't it be nicer if that was an actual sublot instead of Ertigun and his shenanigans, or Gus' love interest who just dissapeared after her bit was over or any number of those pointless substories? Instead we get a single episode that lacks any actual substance. Though I do want a glowing umbrella now to be honest, it looks pretty cool. |
| I really enjoyed this episode |
Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso is shit |
| Well that came out of nowhere. Since when Tuesday fell in love with Kyle, did I miss something or did it happened just within this episode like it seems? This anime keeps straying further away from the music with all of this subplots about politics, Angela's stalker and Tuesday felling in love with a journalist after 2 meetings, and I don't care that much about it. |
 |
| I don't know about anyone else, but this episode kind of gave me at the end NANA-feelings? Remember that old anime/manga about two women named Nana and the other one pursuing musical career? Anyone? No? Okay. But anyway, this episode felt like lighter version of NANA, because the main characters are much younger and it's obvious nothing TOO bad can happen to them…(I could be wrong, but ditto.) In a way it's frustrating, because now that the plot tries to make political statements and bring issues of stardom, I would honestly like if they would go further or try to take more realistic approach of everything, instead just ironing everything out (that in the end everything will be just FINE) and make it so episodic. Like, in next episode Tuesday probably doesn't anymore remember Kyle. I would like her to make heartbroken love song about him or sort of, see Carole cheering her up along with Roddy or sort of. The only thing that has carried itself sort of 'well' has been the whole Angela's stalker side plot. Otherwise they keep pulling up weird 'theme of the day' things out of nowhere…'>.> And seriously, it made me a bit lol when I did see everybody wearing an umbrella when was snowing and Tuesday's hair got wet, like gee. Talk about fast climate change. (But the glowing in those umbrellas? So cool!) |

| I get that Tuesday is hurt because Kyle has a girlfriend he didn't tell her about, but come on what was she expecting. The guy was only ever professional with her, aside from calming her down after the explosion (and he still maintained proper distance for a stranger), which he also did for other people who were at the scene. He never indicated any romantic affection for her, just that he liked her music. He wasn't obligated to tell Tuesday he has a girlfriend either, because he wasn't interested in her in the same way and couldn't really know she suddenly liked him that way. Getting heartbroken is sad but this is kind of dumb. It's like hoping for winning something you never filled out the application for :/ |
| Loving how political it's getting tbh. People need to be more aware of how corrupt these systems can be and how far politicians can and will go to get elected. Tao becoming involved in the campaign will be interesting, too. He's a brain scientist, not just a music producer. I'm sure he's figured out a way to control thoughts and beliefs in people with certain music types and genres; I wonder how much that parallels the music industry in the real world. A scary thought. |
 |
| I see some criticism here about Tue's crush coming out of nowhere, but it was fairly predictable to me. That light blush she gave when he told her to whisper into his good ear was like, "Ah, yeap, there it is. I knew it." I kind of wish it was fleshed out more, but yeah, whatever. The episodic approach worked for many of the subplots, but some of them, such as this and Carole's dad, needed more time.

I should pick up the manga on that one day. |

| I'm not feeling the Tuesday x Kyle thing but I'm gonna say that are you sure that was Kyle kissing that girl? What if it's another guy with the same hairstyle that looks like Kyle from the back? They've done this many times in Anime, manga, movies, Hollywood, etc. lol I'm actually interested in the Angela stalker plot even though others find it bland. I don't trust anyone around her, even Dahlia, her own parent/manager. |
| 臭い- |
| It's an ok episode, the song at the end was nice, but the actual episode felt unnecessary imo. |
 |
| Tuesday crushing on Kyle was kinda unnecessary, but it will help her character grow I'm sure. The political plot is alright. Pretty fucked up if Valerie's team actually went that far to bomb the weather facility. Nice bit of world building sneaking in there with the temperatures going down after the explosion. |
| I thought Kyle was like a father figure for Tuesday XD But anyways I like how this episode was quite realistic and it was really beautiful when Carole found Tuesday at the same place where they met each other for the first time |
| I keep thinking this can't get more political but it always does. It's not as much of a political subplot than the director just grabbing the mic to comment on the current political climate. A little bit on the nose there. Fortunately, I like political anime so I don't mind it. |
| Tuesday feeling heartbroken!? i mean that's already age-gap dude yo' but you know love knows no boundaries... 4/5. |
 |
| I'm surprised to see so much criticism towards Tuesday's one-sided love. She's young and naive, she seems to have no romantic experience at all so yeah, she fell for the older charismatic reporter, who's always nice to her and interested in her story. Her crying under the snow was a bit too much (a bit too anime), otherwise it's a pretty common thing. I mean when I was young, I fell in love with basically any girl who spoke to me and I know I wasn't the only one. |
| I actually like that the plot has various storylines and major events happening simultaneously. I don't dislike the rush and less investment in characters feelings. Dunno why, but I'm enjoying it a lot. |

FMmatron said: Some decent directing at the end, but plotwise it was a pretty weak episode. Just didn't feel Tuesdays crush on Kyle and the political sub-plot is hella corny. I thought this was by far and away one of the weakest written episodes. Here’s what I don’t get. Presuming the on-screen meetings are the only ones we’ve seen so far, Tuesday and Kyle have only spoken four times with the last two happening at this one restaurant. From how this episode played out, it seemed like she tried to surprise Kyle (didn’t inform him that she was coming). If she didn’t inform Kyle she was coming to meet him, then what are the chances that he would be at the restaurant at that time, especially since the time she went there was much later in the day then she met him the last two times. If she did inform Kyle in advance that she wanted to meet him, why the hell would he bring his gf/fiancée/wife? I mean, I used to be a journalist and I’d never bring my significant other to meet an interviewee. Secondly, if she was romantically interested in Kyle, why didn’t she ask him before if he was seeing anybody? Maybe it’s just one of those young, dumb 17-year-old things... This plot device felt really forced, so much so that it took me completely out of the episode. I’m not trying to sound like a pretentious shill either because I’ve really enjoyed this show, but I’ll flat out admit that I HATED this episode. It was just too contrived to be believable for me. |

| tuesday should just get together with carole already |
ttcchen said: tuesday should just get together with carole already Well, unless they make Tuesday bi-sexual, they fucked that up because it’s now established that she’s heterosexual. |

| Boy, this episode was dumb as hell. This show is all over the place. |
| since the middle of the show, i keep losing interest in anything related to Tuesday or to the political stuff lmao tbh it's motly Angela and Carole (and i guess that includes Tuesday interactions) that make me keep watching... and i was planning to give this show a 10 for the first 10-12 episodes |
favorite "new girls" from fall 2024 <3 (yeah i didn't watch much in 2025...) ... click sig for older seasons  |
TheDopplerEffect said: Though I do want a glowing umbrella now to be honest, it looks pretty cool. Lol, totally. The first thing I did when the episode ended was look up light-up umbrellas, and it turns out that LED umbrellas are already a thing, and they look exactly like they did in the episode, with the glowing rod. I should buy one. |
::End of Transmission:: What have I been watching? Click here and find out on my viewing blog, "Vigorous Viewing" |
| Really nice final song/sequence in this episode but honestly Tuesday feels waaaaaay too strongly about a guy she's had a crush on for maybe one week, like she probably got hypothermia over a guy who she talked to three times lmao |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| I shouldn't be suprised anymore, but the way they handle the political stuff and romance stuff is ridiciously stupid. I wish they would have chosen one important story as a start and make little stories around it. The show has completely lost its focus and tries to do everything just a little. Such a shame considering the posibilities it could have. |

| Well, a somewhat weaker episode with less music. I'm not too invested in the politics, although it'll be interesting to see what they do with Tuesday's mother and Tuesday. And poor Tuesday :/ |
| Not a fan of the shift in focus; this basic bitch political sub-plot is so weak and isn't Kyle a decade older than Tues? |

| Do we SERIOUSLY need this stupid "romance" subplot now? Wth this random nobody, no less? If it was Carole x Tuesday I would be all for it. Really lost interest in this over the last couple of episodes. |
| So, Kakki is still alive after that car accident lol. I feel Tuesdays crush on Kyle forced. I mean, I had thought Carole saw him as a father figure wtf. Bad news for Angela! She's having a hard time with her/his stalking fan. |

| blushing Tuesday is pretty cute, pretty sad that her love was not meant to be Where can I buy those lightsaber umbrella's ...for research purposes ofcourse...not for playing around... That political advisor is one crazy bastard, blowing up a weather plant like that all in order to win the elections |
 |
| Ahh when Tues started to catch feels but was faced with it being unrequited. Poor girl! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| i don't want carole and tuesday together. i quite like friendship stories, with no other intention in it, but the kyle plot was a bit too teenager-y to me. makes sense, a lot actually, but it was written all over tuesday's face this was coming. |
  |
| This show is really falling off in the 2nd half, holy cow. |
| I get the reason for that crush on Kyle, but I couldn't care less about it. The political plot keeps being developed alongside Angela's stalker. The weather factory is not entirely down, right? Mars would have become unhabitable in a matter of hours, maybe minutes. |
| i don't like the direction this anime is going. there's too many unnecessary subplots going on (at least the hacker one is mildly interesting). this show doesn't need politics, romance or forced drama. i really hope the rest of the episodes are more like the previous ones. |
| gotta say the whole thing with Tuesday was just so fucking stupid smh this was probably my least fave ep just because of that alone can only hope that shit is over with this ep |
| "one step at a time" |
| Like many, I'm getting off from the hype train since last episode. And this one is even worse. Why does one needs to always get into thinking everything needs a deeper plot ? Why do we need that useless political stuff in there... Jeeze, ep. 18. six more at this pace and I will better understand why this anime is so low rated compared to what seemed a masterpiece to me all the way up to half of it (and a bit more) Go deeper on that road and you'll make me forget almost all the good things from the start and I may end up dropping a 6, which is already bad in my standards, but just for the fact that to me, as said, up to past the mid of this anime it was a 10 all the way. If all the anime was like those last 2 episodes, I would go for no more than a 5 or even a 4, what is then getting borderline to a drop for me. |
| Carole is the friend everyone needs : supporting you even though you might be making the wrong choices, ready to be the shoulder where you'll cry afterwards if needed, not asking question, just being there. |
 |
| i don't trust the guy... |

| Tuesday has shown she can get carried away with her dreams as a result of having a sheltered childhood. A crush on a guy who is willing to listen, is sympathetic and more understanding of her circumstance than most, should not be too much of a surprise. Kyle has been doing his thing as a journalist but hasn't shown a romantic interest in her. Like her interactions with Cybelle, Tuesday will get hurt from approaching new relationships with an idealistic perspective that is especially risky when in showbiz, but she will know better as she learns life lessons along the way, especially with Carole by her side. The sub-plots here may seem superficial but they add weight to the songs in the show - stories in life are what authentic songs are born from. I find myself impressed often by how the characters are written in this show, with melodrama minimised, complex personalities, and naturalistic reactions that are refreshing to see in anime. While I do think the writers are being a little over-ambitious with the time they have to work with, I would much rather have this than another dominating competition arc, or a rivalry based on songs that don't match the characters. |
