The episode was brilliant. It told exactly the problems of anime and its culture down to its genres, cycles, gimmicks used and means along with how much of a risk it is for someone to get into this culture to work. Moreover it tells of dire consequences if one stays in this business far too long. As such the author of MM! Is much more understood by me now as to his reason of suicide. He may have been far too long in the manga business, wanted to stop his series and realizing he has no other purposes suicides himself. Now this episode makes me comprehend him a little more.

That being said in the following,

Notice the 2 parodies as #2 and #3 referring to:
http://myanimelist.net/anime/8769/Ore_no_Imouto_ga_Konnani_Kawaii_Wake_ga_Nai
http://myanimelist.net/anime/11061/Hunter_x_Hunter_(2011)
These 2 series most likely. The ranking itself was rather well though of and all the secrets along with gimmicks how to make readers read were being shown. This includes Guilty’s Crown problems of let’s throw some shit to pleases viewers like fan service or the bitching of a certain girl into a whore. Oh yeah I SEE IT NOW! HAAHAHAHAH! I SEE IT! More than ever! I should go see the creator of this series to pay him Sake. I am sure me and him could really exchange some ideas of the world.

Anyway few last things to make it short. First of all Watashi in the following,

WOW! Do you see the nice robe she wears? Even better how some details of her chest are shown rather very nicely and with modesty. Now it was better with the fan service part but that’s another reference that proves that yeah we get more interested if there is fan service being a male that is, however for me it’s I learned to erase some sections of acceptance of fan service in anime but generally whether male or female it’s to attract attention that it’s used for and the censoring in TV is to plain out make money for Bds. Considering the cost differences guess one is harsher than the other one.

Now that is out of the way Watashi in pajamas in the spoiler
is another reference to:
http://myanimelist.net/manga.php?id=35075
Possibly to show that even myself got enticed at Watashi in pajamas. Proving once more gimmicks working. What can I say, being quite open lots works on me. Might edit later.

When Y mentioned the publishing of storyboards, the first thing that came to mind was HaitusxHaitus.

But, that one is actually popular. So the possibility of that getting cancelled or getting a forced end isn't exactly high.

Apparently I was the only one who thought of Bleach when Watashi and Y were discussing the blank panels. Hell, most of the criticisms that were being tossed around apply to Bleach... :D

This show truly isn't scared to bash anyone and anything. XD By far the best anime this season. I just love how it introduces, explains and bashes serious issues of humanity through gags. So serious yet so hilarious anime. I also really like the 2-episode-arc style. Y is totally going into my favourite characters list. But who to kick out now? :-(

This series makes me nervous in the most wonderful way possible. Like I kept thinking maybe Y really would get killed off in faking it because the editors would think it was more interesting.

I feel like Fukada (Bakuman) would get a huge kick out of this episode. Well, that is if he manages to get past the lack of fanservice. I am however, amazed that someone managed to write a paragraph about Watashi's chest up there. xD

Do we know how long this anime will be? 12-13 or 24-26? Hoping for longer. Typically I prefer shorter, but I wish this series would never end.

12 episodes only, sadly;(
I wouldn't mind a lot more, either..

+1. If we can't have more episodes this season... can we have a second season?? Please?!

Such a great episode and I thoroughly enjoy all the social commentary this show provides!

What an ingenious and creative way to describe and perhaps satirize the manga industry, using the same medium in anime form! I am way too impressed right now. O_O

LOL at the "Yesterday's foe, today's homo." line in Y's whiteboard lecture.

Yeah I missed that, damn! OK yeah MOE sucks and does not sell in thee end. Then again the episode made its point that ecchi with MOE would sell more.

Point was that innocent stuff won't sell as good if it's not mixed up with spices. The clear one being ecchi itself from those BL books.

Missed that too. Her book "Shirakaba" (White Birch), is quite revealing:
It was a movement blending in Western ideals from 1910's, especially "optimistic philosophy", "idealism, humanism and individualism".
"Their literature was typically of the ‘I-novel’ genre."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirakabaha
Of course our author's name Watashi is exactly "I", perhaps she's pushing for an ideal of the non-declining human?

But reality is, no moe no go.

Was i the only one who was watching this and thought "Oh Great! grab a pen and take some notes cause they're talking to you". By the end when their live action manga had deteriorated into a conglomerate senseless mess Air Gear immediately came to mind.

Absolutely superb parody of the manga industry and once again the anime was filled with quite a few gems. Watashi's inner monologue never disappoints, especially that part where Y declares herself the killer. That exchange between herself and herself posing as the assistant was gold. I love her humor.

Which is what almost immediately popped in my head during the parts where Y started throwing in random plot twists. Sure it is entertaining, but it soon gets tiring and predictable in it's own way.

I'm hoping Y will continue to be in the show as well, kind of doubt it though.

Even as someone who's not really a manga reader I found the episode to be okay. I could still appreciate the comments the episode was making and whilst not as humorous as the last episode I still had fun.

They got rid of every Genre and fixed all plotholes and they ended up with shakespeare's "a midsummer nights dream". I think for me that was the funniest line in the episode and that saying a lot considering how much I laughed at it :P
