I love how cynical this show is and hope it continues that way, hell even the MC herself is kinda like a bitch and so is everyone else and I kinda like that, never really seen that before.

oh my god, this was a BLAST. the characters and the humour is so raw and the main girl has a lot of edge to her, which I like. this is such a pleasant surprise.

I fuckin love this show already.

Lmao this, I couldn't believe how much shit they were saying about Light Novels, considering that Diomedea itself mostly does light novels and original creator is a light novel writer. They are spot on with everything they said.

I wasn't even planning on watching this, but gave it a random show, and this one is a keeper. It might be a better Sore ga Seiyuu, a show I really enjoyed but was too moe.

Wow. I was hesitant to watch it at first, but it really was a great choice to give it a chance. Chitose is so likable! She's cute and has such a funny attitude. I loved how much they looked down on the Light Novel industry. This series definitely has potential to be one of the hidden gems this season.

Well that wasn't complete trash like I expected

At least they understand that LNs are, objectively, the inferior medium and everybody only buys them for the illustrations

HAHAHAHAHAHA I died laughing at this episode. It was so funny that this show should be called. "Shots Fire: The Anime."

"I think Light Novel authors are misunderstanding something.
Even thought their works sells because of their illustrations."

""Too much" means also that you're thinking the same way, right?"

"Those people can't act, create music, and yet they want to take part of the industry."

This is also funny because Watari is part of the industry as well, which is basically shotting at himself to some extent Lolololol.

A anime adapted from a light novel talking shit about light novels, wp.

It manga version also seems to be completely different. I wonder which deviated from the light novel more--it would be pretty ironic if it was the anime.

Looks like the reason why Chitose was dejected after big brother told her it was a LN was not because she looks down on them but cause she doesn't like reading though

This show is definitely a keeper, gotta love the two faced characters. The ending where they are laughing on the couch sold it for me. This must have been made by the guy made by My romantic comedy snafu because of the light novel jokes.

I feel like this show is 300% better if the MC was voiced by Watashi (from Jintai).

I can gel with Chitose's attitude, lol. Her manager (brother?) is pretty great, too.

Also on the last part, that "Light Novel series" logo and that heroine art kinda bug me for some reason since I bet I saw that "series" before but who knows I may be wrong and that it may be spoofing on some random LN series in the depths of the LN industry then I look at the Giarlish Number reddit forum and I knew it I'm not the only one thinking that it's a reference to Trails in the Sky series lol

Lol this was good. I think I'm going to end up liking Chitose quite a lot. She's real fun. I couldn't tell whether Momoka was really a nice girl or if she was putting up an act. Her interaction with that other girl made me feel like she was putting up an act, but then she helped Chitose escape too. I liked how she said such cruel things with a smile on her face lol. I also liked how they were making fun of the industry as a whole. The characters are all fun and the comedy is great. Chitose is pretty and cute so that's a plus. I'll be sticking with this one.

Nah, this was fairly impressive. It's aiming for realistic while keeping the minimum cute anime aspects. Also the characters are quirky and refreshing. Loving it already.

One of the most promising this season. Reminds me of Shirobako.

Oregairu x Sekkou Boys in Sore ga Seiyuu setting with strong vibes of Saekano. One of my favorites this season.

Anime adaptations, Light novels, idol culture - nobody is safe!

Oh god, this episode was filled with savagery. I had high expectations since Watari Wataru wrote the LN and I wasn't dissapointed. All those jabs at the anime, light novel and idol industry was hilarious. Chitose's so cyinical, I love her character already. Gojou's really good too and I loved his facepalm at the end. And those producers were hilarious and Nakai being the VA for one of them made it better. That laugh at the end was awesome!

"Those people can't draw, produce music nor act, yet they want to be apart of this industry", my f*cking jaw hurts XD
"Light Novel anime barely listens to the original author anyway", epic burn!
Lol at them making fun of LN authors and how seiyuu don't want to hang out with them.
Also, their take on how stupid producers can be was hilarious.

LN adaptation + Idol anime + cute seiyuu = $$$$$ <---The sad truth of the anime industry XD
