THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The show starts off with Makoto trying to avoid all of her female fans. Makoto reading some Shoujo and going full shoujo herself lol.

Makoto really wants to be more girly. In a job, Jupiter does some messing around with her. Makoto takes some steam off by playing arcade games.

Makoto and Producer go on a 'date'. Jitensha is the insert song. It has a great montage to go along with it.

Some delinquents are messing with 2 girls so Makoto goes to save them. But the girls just go crazy over her instead. Producer gets punched in the face. It made me laugh.

In the end, Makoto rides the carousel like a princess. This episode was really cute.

The ending is a new song. The dress she was wearing is the same as her Master Artist CD cover.

Next episode looks like it could be Ritsuko and an Ryuguu Komachi episode.

No action scene. I'm sad.

Oh well it was still really cute and provided some development for both Makoto and bro-ducer.

Producer why did you have to step in, let Makoto fight.

Makoto and Producer dating was cute.

Loved the carousel scene at the end and the twins and Miki getting on his case for the date.

Makoto centered episode! I can kinda understand where she is coming from. Having a dad who wants to raise you like a boy. It'll always haunt you. nice to see her act a little girly for a change. Miki was all jealous that Makoto took her "honey" on a date! xD

Kuroi is still being an ass too. Hopefully Jupiter will actually notice what their producer has been doing to 765 Pro soon!

Well, i wish Producer could have been a little cooler than that. I mean it looked like he passed out from that much. I was expecting him to be a bit more of a prince but overall it was a very good episode i guess. Damn those 761pro guys...

I wish Miki and the producer kissed (but not in public), the otaku do not like PDA from their idols to other men.

Beside the Makoto epsiode, they're really trying to foreshadow Chihaya's episode from episode 16. Building up, so it won't be sudden.

Agreed. I think they're really going to make Chihaya's episode really dramatic or something like that.

Makoto wants Producer-san to treat hi... oops, her as a girl but h... oops, she still looks more like a guy.

Yay Makoto gets more screen time in this episode, really like the interations between her and the Producer, on a pretend date. Still like a Prince (or male) as to those female fans called her XD. Still popular regardless. Nice little backstory from her dad as to why she is recognize as a boy.

I want Hibiki x Producer or Makoto x Producer

Imagine if Producer was in public with his wife and Miki saw him and went up to him and said hi honey. He's get dumped on the spot lol

On a serious note, poor Producer, protects Makoto but takes the blow to the face.

That white dress in the ending song was nice.


I understand Makoto's past, her father only wanted her to be like a boy. So many years wasted because of his selfish desires.

Haha, lol I love how the Producer and Haruka placated Makoto. “Thank God she’s easy to please” xD

Prince, Princess, Prince, Princess, Prince, Princess…..Oh my goodness. If I hear someone say either of those words again I swear I’ll lose it ^_^

Nevertheless I really enjoyed this episode. Makoto’s personality is so alive and full of energy. I can’t say I’d ever feel bored with her around.

Totally love how Miki got jealous over Makoto’s date with the Producer. Just throw more fuel for my shipping fire why don’t you.

The ED song was awesome. Seeing mini Makoto was adorable <3 And she looks stunning in the princess dress as well. I wish I could have a dress like that but it’d probably cost a fortune.

Makoto is such a lovely character. I like her outgoing personality and how charming she looks. She can appear masculine and feminine at the same time which I'll say is perfect for attracting an audience of both genders. All in a nutshell, Makoto is a badass, yet beautiful.

Compared to what was seen previously, this episode is far better from all points of view.
Narratively by a disturbed character Makoto, describing the nature and aspirations.
Drawings unfortunately not very beautiful in this TV version.

Makoto's story is pretty interesting with how she was raised as a guy, but retained her feminine parts. She chose to become an idol to become a princess, but became a prince instead. Yet she dreams for a shojo manga romance. Loved how it resolved, with her saying that even person who accepts for herself would be enough. But ye, she contradicts herself when more "manly' job comes 'cause we humans contradict ourselves all the time despite accepting our circumstances, and it's fine that way. Find her really realistic. She's adorably androgynous. Love it.
Didn't expect her to raise this high in ranking when I watched the 1st episode.

Interesting episode, I do really like Makoto. And her date with the Producer was pretty cute. I guess if I have any complaints. It's that the formula of the show has started to wear a bit in the second half. But it still works at least thus far. I'll also say this episode didn't reveal very much about Makoto. That we hadn't already gathered. But that's the disadvantage of being so late in a lengthy series like this. It's getting near the end of the first series now. Guess we'll get the last few focus episodes. And then it will do something with this Jupiter plot. I hope that happens soon. I find the evil Studio President and his goons so boring. And it's so annoying how Jupiter believe 765 are the scheming ones. Like go ahead, reveal the truth, we know you're going to.

This is turning into a harem. Nice to see a girly side to Makoto, she's a better choice than Miki.
