Talk:Episode 36 - Beyond the Rainbow/@comment-24848025-20161215100932

Well, the episode has just aired so here are some initial thoughts:

- As usual, Hikaru is throwing Yume into the fire again. Totally not expected *roll eyes*.

- Someone guessed that the person who called Hikaru back in episode 11 was Hotaru -- judging from the speaking styles, I can say about 99% sure it is not Hotaru.

- I can't wait for the subs just to know what was talked about between Yume and Hotaru. Whatever Hotaru said, it got Yume back on track.

- It's pretty interesting to note that Yume activated the power then... shut off her aura entirely? She also was able to Special Appeal without an Aura. Lot of weird quirks in this episodes performance to unpack and understand.

- Even without her idol Aura, Yume still scored up in the ~95% bar range. While I'd probably want Yume to perform solo again soon just to see if she has some type of control on her power now - it is likely we won't get one for a couple weeks due to Christmas + New Years episodes. And the episodes lined up behind that indicated a Lily solo-live followed by a Drama episode.

- Speaking of Christmas - the Axe will make a return next week.

- Oh, and Christmas is going to be VERY Merry to all you Yume x Subaru shippers.
