If you are going to be so firm about not wearing a towel to the pool, you ought to realise it's not supposed to be worn in the sauna either. Although these girls were pretty serious sauna goers otherwise with the temperature over 90C.
It's nice those two spent time together, but Koyuki was far too hasty to feel relieved when Fuuka told about her lack of romantic feelings.
Another coincidence, oh well.
I didnt like this episode that much. yeah, yeah, fan-service, blahblah. But this is where unnecessary drama starts. Koyuki could just tell Fuuka that she likes him. Then, if Fuuka doesn´t back off, they could just agree to be rivals. Instead, we´re getting this typical phoney friendship now. sigh
All that while it´s almost set in stone that the heroe will get together with Fuuka. Seriously, the title of this anime is so bad. Why put one heroine´s name in the title when the audience would prefer to speculate? True Tears wouldn´t have anywhere as much fun if either of the girls´ name was put in the title.

episode 8 is out
-----------------
Ugh, I was looking forward to this week´s episode, but it fell rather flat. In terms of the overall story, it was okay. But ... you really mustn´t begin thinking about the details:
1.) WHY would anybody think it´s okay to throw bottles?!
2.) The bottle-guy is happy once they started making music. Okay. So what now? Will he pay for the broken guitar? Those are expensive. Not to mention dangerously injuring Yuu.
3.) What was the bottle-guys intention when he grabbed Yuu´s sister, saying "Oh, look what we got here, haha!"? From my experience of a myriad of dumb henchmen in anime, this is what rapist says who intends to sexually assault his victim. So ... what was this guy´s end-game here? Rape a girl inmidst a mass of people?
4.) Speaking of all the so-called "fans": Why are they all such terrible, terrible beings?! After the first bottle was thrown and hit Yuu, everybody should have jumped the bottle-guy and pushed him out of the room, if not beat him up. You *can* excuse that by explaining away that everybody hated Yuu at this point. But you cannot excuse that NOBODY stepped in when the bottle-guy grabbed and harassed Yuu´s sister. WTF. And this only gets worse: When Koyuki reveals herself, they run up to her, while she´s clearly in distress and crying for help. WHAT kind of fans are those? The depiction of all those people was so absurdly bad if not evil that I have no idea who thought that was realistic. And if it´s realistic ... holy shit.
5.) When the manager forbade Koyuki to contact Yuu for a while, WHY did Koyui not send him one last message saying "Yo Yuu, my manager wants me to stay away from you for a while. This is not my own decision, I´m sorry. Hopefully we can meet soon again. cu, Koyuki". Everything would have been fine then. But no, just cut contact, leaving Yuu wondering wtf happend to Koyuki. Ofc he´d start looking for her, who wouldn´t.
6.) So Koyuki loses her singing voice, although there are no physical reasons for it. Stress, the manager says. Okay, fancy Miss manager, so you have NO clue as to why your idol might be stressed out? Like, ya know, forbidding her to meet or even write her love interest? sigh
And so on.
This episode was REALLY bad in the details.

Stupid people, terrible writing.
Peace.
Apparently nobody called the police when a person was injured due to a thrown bottle. Apparently there wasn't even a single teacher present to oversee the place, despite it being a school festival and a huge throng of outsiders had arrived. Super realistic.Originally Posted by MFauli
Getting repair money from the dude would be the least of what they should have done, but I guess this is normal in anime/manga, where people can destroy a building and nobody cares. What's one guitar?
These guys weren't the kind of normal fans idols would want, these were the kind of obsessed otaku Japan is known for in RL. The Japanese idols regularly receive death threats from their fans. Female idols who make a mistake of being in contact with the oppose sex get more than just threats. The civilised fans obviously wouldn't even come to this place. Why would they? They are Koyuki's fans, not the fans of some noname dude whose face they saw in the leaked photo. Maybe some from the nearby might have come if they believed there's a 1% chance Koyuki would appear, but they would probably be the minority. The mentally challenged fans who would hate the random guy would be the majority.
The manager wasn't too smart, that's why. She probably couldn't foresee Koyuki would take the order so literally and cut all contact 100%. That's often the problem in the interaction between adults and (obedient) kids. In the first place it's an absolute disaster for the agency their popular maiden idol is in contact with boys. Considering that they were surprisingly lenient. We are talking about the country where idols and such have to sign an agreement not to date or be in too much contact with the opposite sex if they want to work. Heaven forbid, if they want to marry and have a family, they need to battle the issue in a court of law to get out of the diabolic treaty first. At the same time the agency's producers, managers, and other employees are living a normal life, of course.
Episode 9
-- - --- - -
I don't even remember Suzuka that well after all the years, but somehow I'm getting annoying emotional flashbacks due to the triangle. That stupid rooting for element doesn't exactly help either. With how much I hate triangle dramas in general, I'm liking Koyuki less and less, even though she hasn't done anything particularly nasty. Yet. It does feel like she's worried about Fuuka, and thus I wouldn't exactly be surprised if she tried to scheme Yuu out of the practices and the whole band ultimately. That twitter bastard probably would be susceptible to such plots, seeing how he already missed the beginning of a practice session once due to Koyuki. Koyuki would need to do nothing but act distraight and Yuu might forget everything else.
But yeah, I'm highly biased since I'd only like to see Fuuka win.
Did I miss an episode? Last episode ended with "I mustn´t call him anymore". This episode starts with "hey, we´re a happy couple, doing couple-things!"
???
Anyway, this series feels a bit too run-off-the-mills right now. It´s like everything is now predictable and we´re just waiting for it be shown.
Also, maincharacter is dumb. Is he blind? Dat Fuuka. I´d die from dehydration because I´d refuse to leave the bedroom until I´m gone ...

Episode 10
- - - - - - - - -
Only a preschooler would walk back like that when the lights have already turned red. A preschooler and an anime MC that wants to be transported to another world by Truck-kun.
Corcerning Fuuka's decision, wouldn't it mean the childhood friend won? Ths will make Fuuka a traitor, even if Yuu didn't say it aloud. Their relationship would automatically turn cold after this. Although since everybodt thinks Yuu and Koyuki are already all but officially married (which won't happen as long as Koyuki wants to remain a female idol), that might very well have been Fuuka's intentin in the first place. It might be too hard to remain in the same band and friendly with Yuu when she knows he belongs to someone else.
However, what is this show going to be all about now with the band dead? I certainly hope we won't be "enjoying" Fuuka together with that scumbag producer.
Final episode is out
-----------------------
So this is over. Okay.
The original manga plot definitely would have made this 10times as memorable. Now it turned into a generic romance story without anything special. I give it an above average-rating only because it was easy to watch and Fuuka in bikini is smoking hot.
But other than that ... not a must-watch at all.
