I'll admit, Kakeru has got some style with his performance. The song itself also has a catchy tone to it but I think it was the music video this episode that caught my eye.

Hosoya-san's character's request was rejected, so he got mad and picked on the main character. Maeno-san's character's friend (by KENN), who is in Hirakawa-san's character's team, said the main team is mix of low level musical talent people. Hosoya-san's character IN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG1tvfLaRjg when he was told he's unable to cooperative.

So he got a cat, which that guy who likes cooking mistook that as having a girl over earlier. Another IN for Hosoya-san's character when trying to find it. Showing another side of him (care side) other than being proud. Main guy trying his hard to find it for him the whole night even though he already found it long ago touched him and changed his mind about him. Really weird reason for the main guy's fear of cat.

There's another guy who definitely refuses to work with the main guy.

It felt like Tengenji actually played out the whole music video during that short pause, which sort of lowered my expectations for him. Not the most likable character, but his character development was minimally decent.

I like how this show is progressing. Probably things will get more heated soon as they're finding out they're on the "failure" team.

This week's music video was cooler than in previous weeks' but I never fail to giggle at how sudden it comes on.

Nayuki's reactions are too adorable ugh. Didn't think much about Tengenji before this episode but yeah good job in making me like him now even though things were kinda predictable >_< Bonus points for any guy who loves cats. Though referring to them as angels made me cringe and laugh at the same time.

I thought Tsukigami would be a nice guy from the get-go seeing how he warned Hoshitani and even tried to talk back to Tengenji, but the scene at the end disappointed me a little. I know they wanna set things up for next week, but still.

And the ED now has a release date... but it's devastating because they made it the last of the 12 CDs they're releasing. How can I wait until 23 December!?

Fun episode with nice surprises. I like the focus on the characters (mainly Tengenji) and showing that they have lives outside of music.

Suddenly, Kakeru is a cat-loving tsundere with a much kinder heart, and all it took was a feline kind to bring about his change of attitude, thus making him considerably likable. Kinda reminds me of when Shirobako did the same with Hiraoka's character at his annoyance phase.

Well, +1 to Yuuta's harem, but he's not done yet as Kaito picked up where Kakeru left off. But he's sure to follow the lead and warm up to Yuuta in the most expectedly "unexpected" way.

The songs continue to be timed hilariously bad! "Aww man, I can't find my cat. Woe is me! Time to sing."

I didn't think I'd ever say this but I think I like this anime now. Tengenji's surprisingly sweet around cats and his kabuki-style song was actually good. I almost pissed myself at singing a ballad for his cat + Hoshitani's reason for hating cats too.

Tengenji is in love with his cat, the MC is afraid of them. The best insert song yet. My guilty pleasure of the season, I love it.

And with this episode Tengenji becomes my second favorite guy mostly cause we are both huge on cats. And we both sing to them or about them except my cats ears are usually bent all the way back cause my harpy screeching.

Nayuki is so gay for Hoshitani look at how he constantly blushes around him.

Next flag to conquer is Tsukigami's xD

Couldn't really stand Tengenji when he's not with Tavian, but Hoshitani's kinda getting on my nerves with his stupidly positive attitude. Well, I'm sure there will be parts later on that'll make me like him, but as of now, meh.

The music was really good! (even while they were talking) But how they randomly sing/dance/perform just CRINGE ME SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!! I had to pause it and say "WTF!!!"

Anyway..... What a cute episode. Who knew that he had some cat fetish =D Well im sure the fangirls wouldn't mind being a cat and meowing all day =D

At the start i thought he was some Voice Actor for those things where the guy just talks and flirts with you (dont know what their called)

Yay, Tengenji finally came around. Gosh he was such a jerkface at the beginning with the whole, since you're not on my level you can at least be an assistant. Good thing Hoshitani is your average happy-go-lucky guy and said no, but he will keep trying. Lol the kitty though, Tengenji looks cute with Tavian. That MV though, cool fusion outfit, but it still bothers me a little that they keep talking about kabuki but everything that Tengenji has shown has not been kabuki related, at all (no traditional clothes doesn't make it kabuki). I would like to see a kabuki performance from him, that'd be interesting.

Looks like Tsukigami will be the next guy to be befriended by Hoshitani, even though he said that he will not be swept along. You cannot not overcome the befriending ability of our main protagonist.

Such a cute episode~! I'm glad Tengenji is okay with Hoshitani now xD Also the two insert songs by Hosoya were really good! His voice sounds a bit too rough imo but the acapella piece sounded great.

Next episode is gonna be about Kaneki-kun. :D

We also saw the guy voiced by KENN who will be in one of the rival groups! Interesting~

Nothing shows that the arrogant, jerkass character is actually a softy at heart than his love for cats! It's the musical version of the 'deliquent who shelters cats from the rain motive', can never get enough of that.

It cracked me up how it seemed that Tengenji was about to push Tsukigami on stage only to break into song instead! I actually liked the song, the koto-like background was very cool and the traditional Japanese visuals pretty to behold.

I don't see why a kabuki actor should be good at dancing, I have yet to see much spinning around in kabuki. Now I can't help picturing Saotome Taichi spinning.

Oh and Nayuki's reactions were priceless this episode. Pure waifu material right there, will cook you a matching bento and make sure you get it. Even if he drops it.

man they gotta work on those song transitions

making kakeru a tsundere who has a weak spot for cats was such a low blow but i fell for it anyways.. how dare u put all of the things i like into this one character that was supposed to be a huge douchebag??? i was sorta lukewarm about him at first but now i don't have a choice?? like when he says "why do you hate the angels?" when he's talking about cats... how can you expect me to not like him??

I seriously thought the same maybe Tengenji is practicing his lines for a dummyhead series recording or something.
I'm too softie for cat lovers especially rich guys. I won't mind him teasing me all he wants only for his adorable kitty.

Well, Tengenji's attitude changed a bit. That's definitely a good thing. He's also a huge cat lover, which makes him a better person in my eyes.

Yuta's traumatic past with that cat decor was hilarious. xD

That was a heartwarming reunion.

Aww. <3

Tavian cat is so cute. I love cats. =^_^=
