I want to know what Tai's day job is

She's working with Sakura - you can see her in freeze-frame running past while Sakura's cleaning the cows.

Since the original thread is locked I figured I'm gonna ask here: I started watching the first season and it seems ok so far, but is Tatsumi going to stop being an abusive shithead? It kinda takes the fun out of the rest of the series.

He's... not exactly going to stop, but the girls won't be taking it lying down.

I mean, multigenerational idol groups are a thing where members “graduate” and new ones join all the time. What year did Ai die again? She died at the height of Iron Frill’s popularity in the Showa Era, so mid 2000s? They’ve been around for 10 years or so (since it’s June 2019 at the moment in the anime) which if they’re super popular is not impossible.

Got the eras mixed up there; Ai died in the Heisei era.

There's probably a small part of her that misses being on that hardcore level, but her current group was insulted to her face. She loves Franchouchou and her friends; she would never leave them.

Yeah. I think Iron Frill's new lead has essentially misjudged Ai, mistaking "wanting to be on their level" with "wanting to join them".

This part of the plot is probably more about Junko's fears and worries, not anything Ai would actually do.

There's speculation based on the strand of hair poking out that it's Yugiri wrapped up in there.

I think it's unlikely - the meeting scenes are usually the first scenes of the episode, and we see her next to LIly in the episode preview

Then again, it's not like they haven't done multiple meeting scenes in an episode - see Ep 5 of S1.

Do you think Yugiri reverted back to being mindless, or would Kotaro actually be taking this poo poo seriously and not acting goofy like usual

If it is her, I'd expect "because of wacky hijinks" over anything else.

As for Kotaro... dude can be goofy when things get serious for the girls, so no way of telling there.

Well... she does have a flaw, and it's one her personality type makes it difficult to overcome. She doesn't take the initiative, doesn't decide what she wants to do with her life. That's why she's effectively sidelined in her own story, because she's never been the main driver of her own life, just going along with whatever happens to her. When she does take the initiative, it's with the expectation that she's going to die.

So yeah. She has a flaw that leaves her functionally passive, which's a frequently dissatisfying flaw because it can leave the character sidelined even when the spotlight's on them.
