I didn’t plan on picking up blogging this series until the start of the second season, but I’m bored and want to post about something, so I’m reviewing this episode anyways!

Summary
(My Japanese isn’t top notch, so some of these translations could be wrong! XD)
The episode begins with Amu doing homework. Her Charas are rather hyper and they sing a song much to Amu’s annoyance. Ami comes into Amu’s room saying that a lady is on the phone. It turns out to be Utau’s manager. She’s sick with a cold and wants Amu to fill in as manager for Utau for a day.
Amu says that she doesn’t know anything about being a manager, but then Utau pretty much forces her into it with her awesome tsunedre-ness. Sanjo-san apologizes to Amu for the trouble. Amu reluctantly agrees to the job as she really has no choice. She talks to her Charas a little and then Utau asks her if she is just gonna stand there all day, while Iru yells at Amu to hurry up.
Amu and Utau get on a train, and Amu says that she really doesn’t know how to be a manager. Eru digs around inside of Amu’s bag and pulls out glasses and then declares that she’s more like a manager with glasses on. Amu laughs a bit and then says that the glasses look kind of cool
A couple of people on the train notice Amu talking to her Charas but think she’s just talking to herself. Utau gets slightly embarrassed and backs away from Amu calling her an idiot. They arrive at what I’m assuming is a Tv company and meet with some guy in charge. He says Utau’s appointment has been cancelled and Utua gets angry. Utau begins to argue with him and he apologizes and asks where her manger is. Utau turns to Amu and says that Amu is her manager for the day. Amu was freaking out.
The conversation ends and the guy walks away, and then some weird boy band shows up. The boy band begins talking about stupid stuff, bragging about being on tv or something and Utau gets even more pissed off and walks away, Amu follows her.
Amu asks Utau what’s wrong and Utau says she wouldn’t understand, then explains that her career has been suffering lately due to leaving Easter. (I think that’s what she said, but it’s more of a guess than anything else, don’t quote me on it.)
Eru begins complaining on Utau’s behalf and then we go to a weird scene set in older times (Presumably Eru’s imagination). Utau is surrounded by a bunch of people calling her a traitor and runs away crying.
Amu says that she doesn’t know what to do and goes to call Sanjo-san but is stopped by Utau who didn’t want Sanjo to know. (I think that’s what Utau said) The scene flips over to Sanjo who is laying down resting. Out of no where Nikaidou appears and Sanjo touches his face not realizing he’s actually there.
Utau and Amu are having a chat on a bridge. Utau says that she only made it so far because of Easter and that she wants to create her career with her own power. Amu gets an energy boost and becomes more confident. Utau looks at her like she’s crazy an Amu and Utau go all half-chibi. Cuteness ensues.
They return to the Tv company and talk to the same guy from before. Amu speaks on Utau’s behalf asking for him to please reconsider the cancellation. He says there is really nothing he can do. They get kicked out, but Utau is very surprised with Amu for trying to help her. Amu yells that they’re stingy at the closing doors of the Tv company. (Rofl)
Amu goes around to various places trying to get them to let Utau be on their shows. After a few places it shows them at another company and Amu begging a man to let Utau have a chance. Utau pushes away her pride, bows and asks as well, much to everyone’s shock. The guy they were talking to said it wasn’t in his power to decide and walks away. Then that crazy fortune-telling lady who has horrible driving skills and a loli-complex shows up.
Amu and Utau are feeling down after so many rejections, but cheer up again quickly and continue searching for company’s that will accept Utau. They have no success and it becomes evening. Amu is getting her and Utau drinks and says that being a manager is hard. When walking back to give the drink to Utau she hears Utau singing. Amu says her singing is very beautiful.
Amu sits down next to Utau and takes a drink and Utau asks Amu if she’s seen Ikuto lately, (Thanks Fuyu for clarifying, I wasn’t sure what she said just there) and Amu sprays her drink everywhere. Amu asks why Utau wants to know all of the sudden. Amu says she hasn’t seen him since the last fight.
Amu asks about Ikuto and Easter and Utau explains that they were both trapped by the organization. (I think, but who cares, just bring back Ikuto! NOW SATELIGHT!)
A random X egg shows up. Utau is in the tsunedre emo corner (is there such a thing?) and says that Amu should just leave it. Amu says she won’t and goes to fight. She character transforms with Miki. More and more X eggs begin to show up, then they turn into X charas.. Eru and Iru try to get Utau to help Amu, but she’s wallowing. She soon gets cheered up by Eru and goes to help Amu.
Utau chara-nari’s with Eru. She uses “Angel Cradle” and puts the X chara’s to sleep, they return to their eggs. They go back to normal hearts eggs. We switch over to Amu fighting X eggs and she uses her Open Heart attack to cleanse them. Amu goes back to Utau but finds the park where they were filled with people listening to Utau sing a beautiful song. The crowd recognizes her and wonders what she’s doing there. They call her amazing, and give her many other compliments. ^.^
To bring the episode to a close, it switches to the next day. Amu and Sanjo-san are watching Utau sing in the same park. Utau looks truly happy. It shows Amu later that night trying to do her home work again and complaining about how she doesn’t get it. *Head desk*
The preview for the next episode shows the guardians and Amu messing around. It seems to be based around Yaya, and Kukai shows up! YAY! XDXD
Opinions
I went way overboard with the screencaps, but there was just a lot of awesomeness going around in this ep!

Singing Charas! This is the cutest of seen these three in a while! XD

More uber cuteness! Ami you’re so kawaii!

Gah, doesn’t amu look confused. XD I wouldn’t expect an adult to make someone underage into a manager even if it’s just for a day. But hey, it’s an anime.

GAH! Eru owns my soul!…Or at least the parts that don’t belong to Ikuto, Utau, Rima, Amu, Maka and Chrona. ROFL

Aww…Poor Sanjo-san! All sick. T.T

CHEEE! Utau is frickin’ Epic! Look at her epicness…she even makes that pole look epic.

*Dies* This scene made me laugh so hard! Amu with glasses is just awesome. Another one of Eru’s brilliant plans. ^.^

Pissed Utau is so cute. I love her angry attitude, and Amu freaking out made it so much better.

Utau telling off the idiot company guy. Look at him and all his stupidness. Bleh.

Eru has an odd imagination! But look at Utau, so moe cute. Gah…*Glomps Utau*


Utau and Amu make such a great pair. Such similar personalities shown in different ways, they’re fun to watch.

WOW! O.O A non-prideful Utau. This almost made me fall out of my chair.

SUUUUUUUUUURE, Amu, you don’t like Ikuto at all. That expression is really convincing. (Hehe…XD)

Finally! A chara-nari that isn’t Amulet Heart. I was so sick of that. Good Miki got a chance to shine for the first time in a while. (Though it was short)

Eep! Angel-Devil Cuteness! Eru and Iru are getting along so well lately!

I really really love this Chara-nari! I particularly love the music that they play in the background, it sounds angelic. ^.^ Plus the attack is so sweet and Utau seems so innocent.

YES UTAU! SING YOUR PRETTY LITTLE HEART OUT! Gah, I love you, Utau. T.T
