Just watched episode 9. I liked this episode, and the last episode since Jupiter had much importance. (Liked, that flyer too with the 765 idols that the producer was showing to Jupiter.)
(what I’m about to say isn't going to make much sense. Oh, well).
I just want to say that this episode affected me a lot. Jupiter helped me take a step closer in getting into im@s way back in 2011 before the anime came out. I guess I felt I could relate to them more than the producer. I felt like I was their rival rather than 765.
If I had to describe my feeling this episode, it would be nostalgic (well…I tend overuse this word a lot)
When they left 961 their future was uncertain. That was similar to me when I graduated since I was a student. My future was uncertain too. I felt helpless.
But, they kept struggling because they wanted to keep their dedication and gratefulness to their fans who supported them even after the disaster with 961. But, the most important thing I felt they had was patience. Hoping someday something good will come out of it.
I guess I could sort of relate to that too. Had several failures and no talent, but kept on struggling. Maybe, my time to shine wasn’t now. Sometimes, you want things right away.
But now, just like how Jupiter is different from their 2011 self, I’m different from my 2011 self. They become famous, and looking back I realized how much we changed and improved ourselves. But, I want to keep going even further. Just want to thank them for being cool guys to hang out with.
And, I really like that song at the end. Just has that feeling of nostalgia.
