Angry Kinoshita is the best Kinoshita lol. But I still feel bad for the manager :(

Anyway, I’m really looking forward to the misunderstanding that’ll turn Glooyhara into full-on TV melodrama.

Ouri is here and I'm already jumping on the hatewagon, Utage did great job holding him back but Tamon, oh Tamon need more confident before he can face Ouri head on.
Darth Utage was ready unleash her unlimited fan power!

I can't get enough of Saori screaming CHOTTO MATTE!! or getting angry, or saying sorry. She's so good at talking normally, and suddenly wanting to kill Ouri with her distorted, scary voice. Actual cinema!

Oh, things are getting interesting. Tamon's face is basically saying: How dare you steal my woman? (or whatever way to describe how Utage looks to Tamon. Maybe like the biggest antidepressant or antifungal in his life?)

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

It’s obvious now that Tamon-kun is a passion project, and I still don’t see how the anime will fall off in later episodes.

Sorry, One Frame Man bros, but I will never not find it funny that a shoujo romcom looks so much better than a battle shounen from the same studio. This has to be a passion project, as others have already said.

I'm glad that we got to see another idol from F/Ace entering the story. And this one as well turns out to be quite the opposite of what character he usually displays lol
Utage standing up to Ouri for the sake of Tamon was quite moving. She's the definition of true fan and the way she overwhelmed Ouri with her strength was amazing. Never underestimate an insane fan.
Tamon fans eat everything, haha. Even when Tamon couldn't playout a heartbreak scene, the fans come up with an excuse as he's someone who wouldn't experience a heartbreak at all.
Can't get enough of Hayamin's voice acting every episode. She's a legend.

@Sylverthas ikr.. when J.C Staff adapts something by pouring their heart into it, it really comes out well. Too bad they didn't put enough budget into OPM S03.

Oh wow I didn't expect Ouri to be like that! But after watching the opening over and over again I was wondering if we would get a love triangle of some sort?
I need to start reading the manga cause today's episode felt very entertaining and I loved the fight between Utage and Ouri hahaha

Anyway, even if Ouri acted like a prick to Tamon and Utage, I find fights like these the funniest!

As someone who has been following the manga since the start, I honestly can't believe how much love this adaption is getting!! I wasn't expecting much from J.C. Staff, I figured it would be passable at the least, but they've really been showing off here. It's so gorgeous and it makes me so happy~ ♡

It's honestly just as charming and funny and heartwarming as the manga, and obviously the presence of actual music for F/ACE really elevates it so much, but they've also been putting so much care into so many scenes that they absolutely did not have to. And let's be honest, it's still very rare for shoujo to get so much attention to their animation - but Tamon-kun really is getting the star treatment here!! ☆

I really feel like nature is healing after East Fish's adaption of Hananoi-kun to Koi no Yamai lmao.



I'm me! The choices I've made are mine!
I don't need your permission to be myself!

It's funny, the drama is over the top, the idols are acting like a bunch of dumb kids; its hilarious and not cringe, the housecleaner always steals the spotlight (this might be her best VA work so far, I am not even joking, how she fucking growls like a guard dog before the rage idol breaks the door lol). The staff are also all hands on deck with this one; the production value is insane for what might be the best romcom of the year lol.

This is not cinema, this is a fucking OPERA!

i’ve been loving this adaptation so much i’ve been showing it to all my friends too, i’ve watched each episode at least twice :’) ori is such a fun character, especially as we get to learn more about him! all members of f/ace have their own stuff going on too, so i’ll be looking forward to seeing everyone get their time to shine~ c:

also, unrelated to this week’s episode, if you haven’t listened to f/ace’s music on streaming, definitely check it out!! soma genda (one of the main producers for the jpop/kpop group &team) worked on sweet magic and eyes on you, so i highly recommend those songs!! :D

Currently anime of the season by a very wide mile, omg another amazing episode!! This show is just the idol fandom experience personified and I know it’s “male centered”, but it’s been handled very well and there’s a lot of substance beneath the initial superficial adoration Utage had for Tamon’s idol persona.

Utage freaking out over Tamon kissing the necklace she got him last episode was so cute and real. Imagine the person you stan signaling something you did out in front of the whole world like that!!

Not the music changing when Ouri’s personality flips as he’s abusing Tamon lmaoo is there a single normal person in f/ace? I feel like they’re all gonna have split personalities due to the fake images that companies create for idols and the pressure of the business. That’s so much stress to put young people under! Thankfully Utage was there to nip that in the bud and send Ouri’s jealous annoying ass packing. You go girl! THE ELEVATOR SCENE TOO HELLO?? She put the fear of God into Ouri, you better defend your man, girl!

“I’ll do my best at tomorrow’s shoot so please watch” the way Utage’s become Tamon’s raison d’etre and motivation to keep going as an idol is soo cute. He’s going thru so much with his group mates, his own mental health issues and then feeling like you always have to be perfect to everyone and she just accepts all of him, the good and the bad. She’s his one safe space ❤️ still cracking up at her collecting all his tears so they don’t go to waste lmaoooo

Oof that ending?? As if Utage would ever switch up on stanning Tamon for Ouri lol?? Let’s be fr, that’s a fate worse than death for any idol stan. Ouri ironically just sealed his fate in not getting the center position because now Tamon will be more motivated than ever to beat him!! Can’t wait for next episode

Very, very good episode!

Tamon and Utage already made themselves a nice pair -- would not be surprised if they form a couple in the future...

Utage is Tamon's red line -- messing with her awakens the beast inside Gloomyhara...

lmfao, so Ouri is jealous/has an inferiority complex towards Tamon which is why he decides to be a prick all the time to him to hide it and now, he wants Utage, why? because she knows about Tamon's real self and still decided to stay by his side despite all that. so he wants that too.


womp womp. what a loser. 😂😂😂😂🫵🏾


that aside, I'm rooting for you, Tamon, bro. you've got this and with Utage by your side, you're gonna win.

Ok I like that despite Ouri being the selfish gorilla the manager talked about, I love that Utage was able to overpower him just because of her stanning for Tamon.

Ouri I don't like him but I don't hate him, he's clearly a jerk with an inferiority complex but his upbringing might have something to do with it, but yeah never hurt Tamon or Utage will kill you, and better not steal Utage from her oshi or he's gonna get serious.

I'm also curious about the other members of F/ACE too, are they also keeping facades or personas because of their agency. I can't wait to know more.

With the reveal of Ouri's true personality this episode makes me wonder what all the members of F/ACE are like?


If Tamon visualized Kinoshita breaking his heart he would nail the audition to be the true front of F/ACE again.

PEAK EPISODE. TAMON-KUN WA KAMI. KINOSHITA-SAN WA KAMI. Angry Kinoshita IS THE BEST Kinoshita. GOAT.

Finally, in this episode, we get to see the other F/ACE members outside of their idol activities. And the first member we see is fucking Ouri, this fucking maknae man, please get the hell out, die, shine.

BUT, at least this situation will give Tamon the motivation he needs to win the leader position. With Ouri's statement at the end of this episode.

Oh man, what an episode. Having to wait a week after binging 3 episodes is going to be hard 😭

Ouri is such a bitch wtf he's also fake as hell smh. His whole demeanor changed once Utage saw what he was doing with poor Tamon. He's clearly jealous of Tamon and has become even more jealous of him now that Utage is in Tamon's life.

The difference between Ouri and Tamon is as clear as day, Tamon is down to earth and true to himself, while Ouri is a pick me and forces everything. Bro uses boba as a pacifer. Pathetic. And the fact that he was beating Tamon with Utage's fan was rude as hell. He thinks too highly of himself and that's where the problem stems from.

I think Tamon is fired up now that Ouri wants Utage to switch sides if he wins. Ngl tho, Tamon definitely deserved 5th place because wtf was that scenario?? He should've imagined Utage leaving him and how he would feel.

Slowly our girl, Utage, will help Tamon be confident!!

Do the rest of the group members live in the same apartment complex? I'm gonna say yes. Also rip the manager bc he looks so much worse after every epsidoe lmao

@uselessDM I imagine each member's true personality will be in opposition to their persona like the two we've seen so far.
I hadn't considered that they would all live in the same building, but now that you've said it, it seems such an obvious choice.
