There were quite a few things I liked about this episode: the scooter girls, their "intimidating" strut, the producer turning into road trip dad, the metalheads happy about the new weirdos at the show.

And then we have Saki. Ai is scared of thunder and lightning, Lily is terrified of puberty, Junko hates flying, and then there's Saki, who revisits the scene of her death and then asks to borrow a bike to do it again.


Thanks for the heads up on this, that's great!

Saki is the undisputed champion of biker sukeban chicken.

Rules just say the first one who breaks loses. Don't say a drat thing about survival. She's just upholding her title from beyond the grave.

A translation of the actual full quote if anyone is interested

"You see, whether you can draw like this or not, being able to think up this kind of design, it depends on whether or not you can say to yourself, ‘Oh, yeah, girls like this exist in real life. If you don’t spend time watching real people, you can’t do this, because you’ve never seen it. Some people spend their lives interested only in themselves. Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know. It’s produced by humans who can’t stand looking at other humans. And that’s why the industry is full of otaku!."

tldr nerds ruin media

I knew the "anime was a mistake" thing was made up, but I hadn't ever heard that actual quote. That's kinda interesting.

e: Eh not really relevant.

So that shot of the idol group that Sakura keeps having flashbacks to... Am I the only one who thinks the girl in the middle looks somewhat familiar? Perhaps even somewhat... legendary?

It's Ai though...

Edit: Not that the legendary Ai Mizuno isn't legendary, but that's not Tae.

Looking at it closer, I was totally mistaking her vest for waist-length hair. Man, how bad did I gently caress that one up?

I'm also wondering if Sakura might have survived the original car accident now and died from something else

It's going to turn out Sakura survived the truck only to have a spotlight fall and cave her head in at the Iron Frill concert.

Is the next episode the last? It sure feels like finale buildup.

It would definitely fit with the metal way their deaths have been and she could even be in a wheelchair due to the truck accident for the extra feels. But... Ai seems to have a memory of this event so I feel like she would remember someone getting brained at her concert.

There are 12 episodes so we have two more left. I think this mini-concert won't be the finale and something huger will be but that's just my feeling.

We're your first, last, and only line of defense. We live in secret. We exist in shadow.

And we dress in black.
As soon as the music cue started and Sakura started her little monologue I couldn't stop laughing at what was going to happen, that ending was so good

Actually he's Sakura after transitioning, she wears as much pink blue white as Lily. Turns out idol groups can warp time if they're zombies.

I'll note that there's 4 pairs of shoes when sakura heads out in the first episode; her own, what appear to be her mother's sandals, her dad's business leather shoes and a pair of what appear to be boys sneakers

What if he already brought Sakura back once, and then she died again with the head trauma, and then the series is the second time he brought her back?
