| Cybelle deserved everything she got in this episode. Fuck that bitch. But man...Tuesday...she can't seem to win here. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Tuesday got her hand burned due to an acid bomb. The show was delayed to finally present Carole & Tuesday (without guitar) to perform a solo piano song, they performed, and at the end, they defeated Pyotr due to their feeling. Angela blamed her assistant, Katie, for being guilty. Roddy discovered the guilty and security caught Cybelle. Outside, Carole and Tuesday were talking about their families when suddenly a car stopped and a guy (sent by Tuesday’s family) forced her to enter to the car, Carole tried to stop him but he hit her, she tried to hang from the back of the car, but she fell, the small gift in her jacket got damaged and Tuesday disappeared. There are practically three things to talk about here, first, the attack against Tuesday with that acid trap, Cybelle really wanted to hurt her despite admiring her, and how Angela treated her assistant; second, how Carole & Tuesday defeated Pyotr, to be honest, I didn’t like any song, Pyotr’s song was superficial and Carole & Tuesday’s song was repetitive which made me lose interest, despite having good lyrics, I think that the inflection point was Carole & Tuesday’s feeling and vocal abilities, despite the fact that Pyotr has a great voice and good choreography while singing, it was kind of a tie; and third and last one, Carole and Tuesday’s feelings, portrayed in the question made by Benito to Carole and the last talk, before Tuesday got caught by her family, that’s tough. |
 |
| I really love Carole and Tuesday's vocals, but I also really liked Pyotr's performance. Glad he was a good sport, shows he's a great guy. Nice to see that he even won over one of the judges, and it was cute when she said "pow." It was interesting to see Angela thinking that those around her were the ones that caused Tuesday's injuries. Shows she might also have some doubts and not be entirely confident as she seems. Hope she apologizes to her assistant (though I did consider he one of the suspects too >.<). Agreed that Cybelle needs professional help, the last things she said were messed up. I wonder what is going to happen next between Carole and Tuesday. I hope that after their talk, Tuesday can have the guts to stand up against her mom, the way they took her wasn't cool. Also interesting to hear some of Carole's thoughts and see her crying. I hope their relationship can become stronger after this. |
| Well i knw it was Cybelle bitch who did that and Tuesday brought it on herself with her naivety. Also rip she got taken away, time for some family drama i hope this doesnt drag on much. |
 |
| Poor Tuesday can't catch a break man, poor thing. Also I'm pretty sure Carole can make it as a track star if things go awry, She b lined it to that car. |
"WHERE DAT SUNFLOWER BOI AT?"  |
| I honestly wasn't expecting them to make it into the finals. Someone must have really giving Ertegun a yellin' with the way he was acting before they passed them to the finals, ha hah.;; But he's a grown ass man (in his 40's). I mean, look... I really like the way they portrayed that he at least seemed to be TRYING to keep it in, which is better than most. The decision to pretty much have him give in to his feelings despite pretending not to seemed pretty real to life though. I like that. Also, I feel like this situation will lead to a lot of growth. Gosh, I hope so. But really, it's already kinda shown what they value in a way. The moment before Tuesday was taken, she kinda seemed like her focus was winning on a surface level, but we see that perhaps her actual focus has been on Tuesday all along. Much like the present she was hesitating to reveal, she's also been keeping her own feelings hidden. I think that's a large part of what Catherine (judge) was saying as well. I can only imagine that when they play again, something different will burst out of them. There are some things I feel could be done a little better in Carole and Tuesday, but there are subtle things I see that I can't help but love. |
| Nice episode. I liked Ertegun - funny to hear him talking. And I think he voted for Carole & Tuesday. That remark at being not ready to perform clearly shows that he liked the performance but he didn't want to admit it too obviously. He also might have recognized that it was an attack of a 3rd party - and not just Tuesday being careless while playing around with something. I interpret it as a "be more careful next time the fans might be pissed even if it is your fault - if you are some big star like me some time in the future" - a friendly warning/advice. I hope we'll get to see even more of him. With the 3rd judge being a guest judge in the finals might be some other judge. But maybe he'll be a visitor in the audience ... or he is going to help them later after the show ends. (Might as well help even now - if Roddy asks - since he is somewhat famous and might help to put pressur on the mother by talking in public on how bad of a mother she is by stopping a talented girl from becoming a good musician.) |
| I really disliked the MAAAAARS BRIGHTESTO arc so far but this episode was pretty good tbh. |
 |
| I thought this show was going to be something special... another drama forced one. The past two episodes have absolutely ruined what this anime had built so far. The Cybelle thing was really stupid but what is more infuriating is Tuesday's inability to speak up for herself. This goes for Angela's manager too, she should have immediately reacted to Angela's accusation and denied it, but no, that obviously cannot be better than just stopping mid sentence and running out of the room crying. Also the dude at the end punching Carole. Really? He threw that punch like he was fighting someone his physique-level. Carole shouldn't have recovered from that KO punch. Now this problem with Tues' family is gonna be a chore. I don't give a crap about this drama shit why did this anime have to pull this stupid development off... |
| Looks like I have some controversial opinions. I've enjoyed this singing competition mini-arc more than the rest of the series combined because I always anticipated the performances where the story has so far failed to captivate me. And on that regard, C&T absolutely won me over Pyotr this time. Pytor's song wasn't half as good as his first, meanwhile this stripped back sound worked wonders for C&T's composition. Perhaps they should just drop the guitar entirely? I've enjoyed their pop-standard music so far, but Lost My Way is easily my favorite of theirs so far. At any rate, it seems we're going back to forced melodrama next episode so I guess this is over. |

The drama elements in this show are too forced (like Cybelle). The dry ice cliffhanger we saw at the last episode and the "abduction" cliffhanger are cheap type of storytelling. I liked the comedy/music elements and the overall story and characters so far. The mars brightest arc is annoying, but at least there were some fantastic songs... this arc works only as a parody and mocking of existing casting shows. |

| I want to hear Lost my Way with a guitar now. |
 |
| oh! so many unfortunate events happening to the two girls! and what's more Tuesday got abducted! oh man! when can they get a rest!? 5/5. |
 |
| this song is probably my favorite of theirs too, i wanna hear it with tuesday's guitar too. i really like this talent show arc actually, although the cybelle thing felt forced in. tuesday just can't catch a damn break can she? |
| As much as I love this show, the opening with Gus narrating those fucking "miraculous seven minutes" is getting tiring like some stupid cheesy motivational line from a musical movie in the 90s. I always skip through it. I hope they change the OP and ED songs too. Plot armor. C & T wouldn't win in real life or rather, if they did, they would be forgotten like that Philip Philips guy, never heard from him again. Pyotr would be like those pop songs Justin Bieber, Harry Styles, etc. let's be honest, in real life, those people become more successful and the music/showbiz industry invests money in them. Carole and Tuesday are wonderful characters, however, their style of music doesn't really become successful in reality. Michelle Branch and Ed Sheeran, whose styles are somewhat similar, incorporated different styles and collaborated with different artists but after that, Michelle Branch in particular pretty much faded from the light. They have beautiful voices but their songs are honestly fucking boring. The type that would only serve as background music in a YouTube video or concerts in small venues. Another thing, asking Carole about her past was pretty stupid. It reminded me of those singing talent shows where the contestant will bring up a tragic backstory to garner sympathy votes and have an edge in the competition whether they deserve to win or not. I don't mind it, Carole is my favorite and I want to know more about her but they shouldn't have done it during that time. That was totally unnecessary. I still love this series and I will watch until the end but I truly hope they improve the plot and add some actual twists and depth. The animation is fucking gorgeous and the songs are wonderful but it's like they're making a cotton candy, Disney slash Hallmark plot to give the audience diabetes. Good to see Angela have integrity, when she thought there was a slight possibility Dahlia could've injured Tuesday, she was distraught. I think Angela may be bitchy and a diva but I like her a lot, more than Tuesday for being a complete idiot. I had a strong feeling that Pyotr's livestream upload would eventually lead to Cybelle being caught and fortunately, I was right. I remember him catching both Tuesday and Cybelle in his stream. Cybelle was obviously used a plot device. too bad, her character design was gorgeous. We won't be seeing her anymore unless she's obsessed with murdering Tuesday. However, I still have my doubts that she is the one who put that dry ice there. Other suspects include Tao, Angela's new manager (forgot her name) and Tuesday's family. |

| 臭い- |
| Mixed feelings this time. I really don't Cybelle. She definitely is my least favorite kind of character. She's purely dislikable and doesn't have enough going on. She's not badly written persay, insane groupies exist, people do get hurt like Tues did and this is a potential way that could occur. But, she's been working as a plot device. An insane 'fan' who potentially likes Tuesday, who wants to work with her, and manipulates her. For some counterexamples, we have characters like Pyotr who seems egocentric and bombastic but deep down can appreciate others music and celebrates with them, will say kind words and act kind. It's a way of subverting my expectations and it makes me think his speech was genuine. He's being himself no matter who tells him not to, it may seem fake or annoying, but I think he's a good and real person. Ertegun may be a classical narcissist, but I've started to find his narcissism hilarious, 'the Ertegun inside of me', 'I'm the only one that can shine like me', and just the fact that to stall for time they had Ertegun talk about himself, it's genius! On top of that, sure he can shoot down people without giving them a chance, but he's been said to be earnest, to not let those personal feelings get in the way. These seemingly rather one dimensional characters work for me, but Cybelle so far hasn't had enough focus on her side which makes sense narratively but I find it uninteresting to make someone so unlikable work like she has. I may be being unfair. I suppose how she pans out as an antagonist will change my mind and these kinds of stories often don't leave characters one dimensional. I like how this episode showed Angela may be tough but she does truly want to win honestly. She wants to prove her worth without cheating. Mama may not be the type to sabotage either but we don't fully know yet, Angela did suspect her. On top of the introspection we saw from Angela, it's nice to see that side of her too. Further, Katie was sniffing Angela's lipstick!!! We knew she was a mega fan but maybe she has a crush on Angela too. If that's the case, it makes this moment where Angela brashly accused Katie all the more interesting for it setup for a moment where Angela apologizes to Katie and they get closer! Carole's words to her parents were powerful. She came from earth as a refugee, abandoned and never meeting them. What more do you have to say than "I'm here". You are standing and breathing, you made it, and you're still out there. Likewise, Tuesday's line about having a home but not having anyone waiting for you was strong too. A home is where you belong, you can very well not 'feel at home' at home. This also led to Tuesday being found from the television and picked up quite brutally, one even struck Carole down. Luckily, I think having Gus, who would worm his way into the camera room to find whoever hurt Tuesday, Carole who is a fighter and loves Tues, and the brains of Roddy who found the real perpetrator means they have a good army for getting Tuesday back. Not even mentioning the ally at her home, her brother. The casual drift between Carole and Tuesday is potentially interesting. Just like with the Katie misunderstanding, it seems the conflict will drive them closer. We felt a noticeable dip in their synergy recently and with Tuesday not even telling them who did this to her and probably feeling like it was her fault, Carole spoke up about it.. Tuesday has to value herself enough to not care about a psychotic person like Cybelle, she can't blame herself, she has to speak up, say no outright, tell people what Cybelle did, she can't just move along and only act strong when it comes to their music.. So, perhaps Carole acted on a little futility with her words, as were they just about her own success as they were about Tuesday.. which is a shame because Tuesday showed a lot of strength by coming out as herself to be strong with Carole. I don't feel the relationship of the duo drifting was narratively satisfying... I think this largely has to do with it not getting outright focus, much like real life relationships are which is the interesting part, but also it centering around Cybelle who's worked thus far as a dislikable plot device to cause conflict and tension, and build relationships through it. Cybelle's role seems to make everything feel a little dirty and unearned. |

| dont feel the cliffhanger at all. damn everything gets too dramatic. |
| Cybelle is up there with Myne (bitch) as the most hated characters in anime |

| I hope they can get Tueday back! Cybelle is a totall b*tch!!!! |
| Tbf, C&T's song was really underwhelming. Compared to that Pyotr's performance was much better, which we could not enjoy fully, because of the drama going on in the background. It feels like they did the whole drama so Pyotr's performance is not as impactful for us, knowing that C&T's won't be that good. Feels really underhanded. A good episode, but this round goes for Pyotr. |
| So the gift box was really from Cybelle. I don't like Tuesday's mother at all. |
 |
| I didn't expect Cybelle to get caught so early, im happy she did tho. Oops Angela just false accused her manager, i wonder if she would still be her manager. Poor Tuesday, how will she get Tuesday back? |
| I'm confused. If Tuesday turned 18 in this episode, wouldn't it be illegal for her mom to force her to come back home and then lock her room? Or are there different laws in this universe they haven't bothered to explain? |
| Cybelle being guilty was obvious but I didn't expect Angela's fight with her manager. Anyway, I never cared about her annoying fan. wtf that ending, then everything happened so quickly, as they say. |

| Damn, this was quite the episode. Cybelle turning out to be the culprit was very obvious from the get-go but then she only made it worse for herself by digging a far deeper grave for herself. Why didn’t she leave the place though? I know it’s best to play safe by just staying around in a corner inside with minimal chances for suspicion so maybe that’s why? Anyway, that aside, Carole & Tuesday with another glorious song! Pyotr surely deserved the victory though on a more strict and objective scale and this honestly leaves a somewhat bitter taste. Plot armours and I just don’t get along you see lol, but there have been a few for this show with this definitely bugging me the most. But I’m glad the two are off to the Finals nevertheless! And amidst all this, Tuesday’s mother is here. About time, I suppose. I called it in the last episode and sure enough it appears as a cliffhanger. Sad that Carole wasn’t able to give the gift despite wanting to the whole time. Seriously shocked as to how Carole managed to catch up to the car though lol but no biggies there. Angela lashing on to her manager wasn’t very nice to see, hopefully they’ll make up soon enough provided that the manager didn’t set up a little mischievous surprise too. Gah, Carole’s tears though. Sure hit me hard. She’s been so strong and lively but then life comes up with another setback for her. I’m sure they’ll get back together soon bit still ;-;. Hopefully, the reunion will be great to watch and emotionally investing! |

| With every episode I'm increasingly reminded of a Disney Channel original movie. |
| Ok, Cybelle can go fuck herself, what a weirdo. Honestly, I was really hoping Carole to do something to her for attacking her friend but she didn't do anything. Such a shame she remained so passive during these last two episodes... well, until that last scene. Brave Carole is indeed best Carole. Anyways, this episode went full dramatic mode. From being bitten, then burned to finally being forced to return home... man, Tues's week was definitely a shitty one. At least, I hope her brother can help her somehow. By the way, Pyotr's performance (those moves!!) was far better than C&T's. He should have passed to the finals but well. It is what it is, I guess. |
| This round, Carole and Tuesday's song was nice. Oh they really won, nice. And I like how Pyotr got a supportive attitude even when he lost. And to be honest, I got somewhat suspicious on Angela's assistant since last episode. But turns out it was Cybelle after-all. Well she freaking sucks and can keep her 'beautiful' songs to herself. Thought it was obvious Angela's assistant isn't lying the moment she cried and said that she's really her no.1 fan, but yeah. And drama at end. |

| Nooo, that's not the ending I expected at all! It all went well, they managed to get to the final even though Tuesday was hurt, and then this... Truthfully, I expected them to lose and then bounce back from the loss, but this is even worse. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out. |
| was fun hearing cybelle snap. s/o to the voice actor. |
AnimeFreak-San said: is this a male gender issure...human issue...mental illness perhaps? |
| Hmm kinda meh episode compared to the rest. I felt sad for angela her assistent she didnt have to be so hard on her. Angelas true bitchy nature shows. Hope is not lost yet as i suspect tuesday to be just in time for the finals cliche lol Cybelle is crazy.. yeah yandere spotted. Pyotr was nice until the end, a good “loser” was obvious from the start that it would revolve around carole and tuesday vs angela. Only part i dislike, being predictable, songs are great |
 |
| "People who become unable to play right before an important performance are not fit to become musicians" *Flashback to joshua* I feel sad for Angela's manager, getting blamed like that by angela while she hasn't seen the evidence with her own eyes |
 |
| I'm glad they caught that bitch Cybelle! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Oh man, lots of trouble in this episode. Like a hand burn wasn't enough. How will Tuesday go back to Carole? That miracle win should not be wasted. |
| was obvious that Cybelle was behind the burning that bitch was crazy as hell as for Tuesday getting taken away like that well she knew what was gonna happen as soon as she was put on camera like that so it was only a matter of time before something like this happened so this to was expected with that said am still really enjoying this series |
| "one step at a time" |
| The two really are both the loneliest girls Tuesday suffered emotional abandonment in her home so she escaped. Carole literally had no one with her, no parents, no one wanted her. She was physically abandoned, so she survived all by herself. both kinds of pain are terrifying, they wanted to escape their past and make do with what they had. Then by chance encounter, they connected on a deep level. |
 |
| "This wouldn't have happened if you said no more often." Oh, SCREW YOU writers. This is turning to the most disappointing series out of my favorite studio. |
 |
| cybelle did nothing wrong. |
