Heh I knew it. Eriri would try to spy on Tomoya when he is on out on a date of sorts with Utaha.

Eriri and Megumi had some funny chemistry with Kato always getting the better timing in the conversation between them. Utaha's teasing is still visible but not as much as some of the other episodes. The romance tropes narrated by Tomoya is amusing as he puts a lot of energy into his thoughts.

Utaha continues to impress me. She's definitely the best for Tomoya imo. Their scenes are just so good and they have perfect chemistry together. The Monogatari reference was funny, Utaha and Tomoya kind of felt like Senjougahara and Araragi lol

Even the show confirms that Megumi is stealing the show. We all know where this will go.

The scene where they looked into the new version of the ending was hilarious in every way. Matsuoka fucking nailed this xD Megumi also with her deadpan remarks.

ikr, I saw the books she picked out and instantly thought that's monogatari due to their unique look and it's just 100% correct and then I thought "wait... maybe there ARE other series that have a similar binding etc" and then she goes on to straight up say monogatari-series with that Shaft/Araragi-monologue impression.

Too bad the subbers didn't pick up on it

I like how they were taking jabs at anime cliches, and the part where they were looking at the new ending Utaha made was also funny.

Episode 2 and it's already a Utaha-senpai episode!! and what's with the ominous hints that she won't show up anymore just because she finished with writhing the script?! I'll lose 90% of the reason I'm watching this show if that happens..

Voice acting in this episode is top notch! The entire scenario for the second half where the three of them were watching the revised ending written by Utaha-senpai, haha! Wow.. I couldn't stop laughing while listening to Matsuoka's performance. xD Now this reminded me of Petelgeuse talking shit.. >.>


Savage indeed. I even like Utaha-senpai's malicious looking eyes there, lol.

I can't help but roll my eyes now whenever I hear a character compliment someone's beautiful "porcelain white" skin because it reminds me of how shitty some Easterners are toward people with tans or darker skin. That distraction aside, this was a decent episode. Megumi is easily becoming my favorite. I like how chill she is compared to everyone else.

Another exciting episode! I don't envy Tomoya's burden: first, he has to decide Utaha's future and then, he has to decide the game's future. Since he has grown to be a dependable leader, it's clear he wants to make everyone happy but that's not gonna be easy, especially with an upcoming rival game hot on their heels. Eriri and Megumi delivered some funny highlights here, and that ending was worth a few giggles as well.

If I only paid better attention to the bookstore scene, then I would've spotted Utaha reading one of the Monogatari novels. Imagine if Utaha and Senjougahara hitched up a conversation between each other... =O

Utaha's motive to watching a movie and her reason behind it probably sums up a lot of fan's reaction to recent live-action adaptations recently. She's on point there. Also, the whole group's opinion of they movie they saw differs a bit. Tomoya and Megumi liked it, Utaha thought it was bad, but Eriri loved it to bits.

Speaking of, Eriri's stalking abilities didn't work out for her this time as Utaha send Megumi a text saying that there wasn't any need for them to stalk her and Tomoya during the day. To add to Eriri's misery, Megumi now has a key to Tomoya's house, unlike herself.

Still, her twintail slap at Tomoya was pretty cute to see again though.

Hopefully Tomoya will decide what route should be taken soon, since Izumi's creation is certainly becoming more of a threat to Blessing Software overall. Not only that, but it sounds like their booths at the Winter Comiket will be close to each other, so the competition between them will be fierce.

Great episode overall once again. =)

The script is clearly foreshadowing something, if he picks the first rendition, he lets Utaha go. If he picks the second, Utaha lets him go. No way to win. Utaha ship sunk, I lost this war...

The live action bashing was savage, and as always, while the Kirito/Tomoya VA is way overused, he pulls off comedy VOs better than anyone else.

Missed the Monogatari reference the first time (thanks sh**ty Amazon subs) and also still trying to figure out what word was censored (once again, thank you Amazon subs) From what I could tell with my little Japanese, the subs were pretty meh and inaccurate at places.

So far, this season is running circles around S1, and I really enjoyed S1.

Good episode. Even tho Megumi is my favorite character, I would like Aki to end up with Utaha. They would make a great couple, imo. And I don't think Megumi likes him romantically.
This made me tear up tho, I don't want her to go. ;v;

Damn, this episode was really good. The three main girls (and the only girls that matter, the cousin and the red haired girl aren't that interesting) all had great moments. The dialogue was very well written and it definitely held my attention.

Even though I'm a Megumi fan, the true star of this episode was Utaha. She was great in this episode and I sure hope we don't see less of her in this season and because she's already finished the scenario.

But still, I want a Megumi episode.

Interesting episode with all the focus on Utaha, but for the functionality of their Circle I find it rather concerning that Utaha has completely changed the story, and seemingly in a way that - imouto stuff aside - fits the kind of relationship she wants with Tomoya. That sort of selfishness is a worry in that sense, but then again Eriri indirectly does the same thing I suppose. It should make for some interesting drama later if they really pursue that thread, but then with this series who knows what will happen?

Can't say for sure coz the ending song does express her desire to be the main heroine if given the chance

Agreed, I don't like Tomoya to be honest. He's too bland and sometimes funny (which is rare). All the girls are better characters than him.

This was a rather boring episode. Shame too considering how much screentime Utaha had and how enjoyable the previous episode and special were. I guess in the end I actually couldn't care less about their game rather just want to see more amusing dialogue and interactions between the characters.

I wonder how Matsuoka facial reactions were when voicing Tomoya during game ending part. He made some pretty dang weird sound effects.
