<p>I understand most of the movie but one scene I can't completely filter into different buckets of reality is, the scene where they say Mimorin is going to have another concert with the two other idols remaining in the group, and all the otaku gather and seem to collectively see Mimorin there (it was written in her blog I think that she would be performing, so everything thought she'd be there). Was it the chubby female manager or performed in her stead? How would no one have noticed? Or was it just Mimorin's delusion?</p>
