Talk:Episode 50 - The Strongest LIVE☆/@comment-26426093-20170409141150

This season finale was indeed quite emotional, but in my opinion, Episode 50 isn't the true climax of Season 1; that honor goes to the previous one, Episode 49. My reasoning is that because that episode, besides serving as the closing act of the S4 Selection, also emphasized on the accumulation of all the emotional struggles and character development that Yume experienced throughout the entire season, and when considering the fact that we spent an entire year watching Yume and her fellow idols doing Aikatsu together, the feels were real with that one. In contrast, Episode 50 acted more like a post-credits scene, with various scenes thrown together for the benefit of the viewers.

But Episode 50 isn't that slouchy for an finale either: bar some dodgy animation and random cuts between scenes, it was truly touching and emotional to a certain degree. Giving the 25th Gen S4 one last hurrah by showing off their relationship as a unit really hit me in the heart, as it would be the last time Hime, Yozora and Tsubasa wore the S4 uniform. And the scene where all the Wind Dance Class characters came together to say farewell to Miki was even more touching and comedic per usual: Yuzu hugging Miki, Saaya and Ruka promising to take care of Yuzu and the Dance Class in her stead, Miki expressing concern for the latter, and of course, the three of them taking out their "ahem" specialized equipment to catch Yuzu, what's there to not like?
