VerifiedGo, Tamon!! 🥹✨ I’m rooting for you to stay the center until the very end!

VerifiedOur Utage truly is Tamon's best supporter as she was able to notice the difference in performance from Tamon. The banner that she made in the end is also the very words that Tamon needed to see.

VerifiedOuri's backstory is very different. Finally, rivalry makes sense. Real struggle vibes come from both him and Tamon working too hard. No center win was a surprise 😳

VerifiedThe competition for the center concludes. Tamon comparing Ouri to a cat was pretty accurate lol. Props to the show for making me this invested in a music group who's music I don't even personally like.

VerifiedIt’s funny how Tamon compares Ouri to a grumpy cat and explains why he acts rudely toward Tamon. The vibe of this episode felt really heartfelt to me because of the backstories and of course, when Tamon sang “Rain.” that hit the emotional spot on me.

VerifiedThis is about the best friends Tamon and Ouri after losing the center of the battle. Meanwhile, anime watchers can see that the fans of F/ace are hosting a new concert featuring a fresh aesthetic soundtrack. This creates a perfect song transition before the end of the episode.

VerifiedThis episode really shows Tamon and Ouri are close friends, even though Ouri’s pressure makes him act grumpy 😅 “Rain” hits hard, and when Tamon starts crying… so precious, I almost cried too 😭 The vibes, music, and overall atmosphere are just perfect!

VerifiedAll the characters are getting flushed out, and the main characters are both so sweet!!
There are no "mind-blowing" revelations, but its genuienly such a feel-good show.
Can't wait to see how much these characters grow!

The relationships start to deepen as the story takes a look at the complex rivalry between Tamon and Ouri. This brings about key shifts in the dynamics that ends in a nice twist to the F/ACE center auditions. The impactful ending scene makes this episode an emotional must-watch.

The episode gave more focus to Ouri and we get to see more of his soft side. He's basically a tsundere and unexpectedly, seems to have genuine feelings towards Utage. The animation during the "Rain" song really fits the emotional buildup towards the heartwarming end scene.

I love the conviction of the Female MC in this episode! Yes, that's how you really admire idols. The dedication? 100%. This episode also shows us a little bit of cute(not quite?) interaction between the members. It also really showcased how the characters care in their own way!

Not only did we get more Ouri outside of work content, we also see that Tamon.. Actually likes Ouri quite a lot and really cares and respects him. Ouri is such a tsundere, he'll come around surely! That center reveal was a shock too, surprised me!

EPISODE CONTEXT
Sitting just past the season's first third, Episode 5 marks a deliberate narrative pivot—Episode 4 escalated the romantic dynamics, and now the focus swings to the professional stakes within F/ACE, giving the idol framework real dramatic weight. The Tamon-Ouri rivalry for center position introduces a competitive throughline that will likely shape individual character arcs across the back half of the season. This episode is laying essential groundwork for both the group's trajectory and how personal ambitions collide with interpersonal bonds.
