----------------------------------------
I think it was an alright episode, felt even more relaxed than the premiere.

Chitose's co-workers seems like they can be quite fun to get along with. The dinner they had gave them moments to bond somewhat.

That some of the characters are a bit bitchy is somehow very refreshing it's different from mosts things i see.
Tho the main characters seems all over the place her personality is a bit strange and she things a bit to high of things.
In any case it was a nice episode.

Laughed at Chitose the whole episode, she be cocky as fck.
Yae's the adorable klutz type and I still dont like Shibasaki.
All in all a good episode, that PV sucked ass tho, they be like talking about Toei quality vs Madhouse quality and shiz.

Like OP but not fan of ED song. Chitose in this episode so cocky, her monologue made me laugh. That new Isekai anime got problem in character design but they still push to release the PV so the result look like Qualidea Code.

Great episode.
I love Chitose more and more each episode, Her comments on everything are so funny at times.
The other girls are pretty interesting as well.

That 'YES!' in the meeting, Hilarious. XD
Did the producer just reference Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls or did he just say it for fun? XD

That crappy PV XD, Can't believe the audience actually got hyped over it.
Looks like they're sticking to their comment last episode, Barely listening to LN authors. xD

i was just discussing this with my friend! one of the highlights of this show for me thus far is how they opted for a non-conventional mc. i definitely appreciate the move, even if she's pissing me off right now with her arrogance.

as for the rest of the episode... gotta give them props for maintaining the animation quality (as far as i noticed, anyway). i'm absolutely in love with the animation style, it's so pretty!

i also like the two new characters they introduced, especially the older one. (the younger one is cute, and i am -so- glad she's a side character rather than main... idk just that character type bugs me as an mc, it's overdone for one thing...)

i'm also intrigued by those two other girls. i can imagine a lot of people dislike the dark haired one, but she somewhat reminds me of chihaya from the imas series so i kinda have a soft spot for her, even if she's being a little bratty... :">

hmm but yeah, this series feels a little slow so far. i half contemplated dropping the show in this episode, but i'm going to stick with it until ... somewhere between episode 3 and 5 and if it doesn't get more interesting then i probably will drop it unfortunately. X_X

also the staff annoy the heck out of me. why are they so unprofessional?! i can't tell if that's what they're really like (would explain why so many anime are a disaster lmfao) or if the intention of this series isn't something along the lines of shirobako, and we should be taking everything with a pinch of salt...?

This show is really so much satire!
They have so much bad personalities on inside that you won't notice when looking from outside perspective.
The bearable girls are only the worrywart Yaepon, and the Kansai-dialect Koto-chan!

Chitose... you're so cocky. Can't wait for reality to give you a slap.

Enjoyable episode, though it ended too quickly for me when the ED suddenly came along.

Speaking of, I'm not really a fan of both themes.

Hahahaha. Chitose is a very interesting MC.
She is quite cocky and sometimes it kinda annoys me a little bit. She's cute and sometimes quite funny (especially those monologues) so I can bear with it.
This author sure knows how to bring up very unique MC personalities.
Looking forward what will happen on the next episode.

Savagery just goes for god in this series. If this show is really a hint into what the anime industry is like then one:

-Producers are totally assholes
-Seiyuus, I feel bad for them but then again, the attitudes make you wonder about the ones we know and love
-My heart goes out to the authors of every series that have their works become anime and they put up with this shit.
Don't believe the hype.

Relaxing yet also funny episode. That cocky Chitose was savage. I guess they really have a problem with the character designs as shown on their anime PV. Yae was so adorable, the Kansai girl was knowledgeable about the anime industry, made Chitose think of him as anime professor. The two other girls are also here. How funny they're bitching with each other.

I think it's extremely refreshing to have an kind of arrogant, more know-it-all kind of main character instead of the usual goofy and one dimensional ones, I really think Chitose makes this series much more refreshing.

Felt like a nice episode, went by pretty fast actually. Right now, I like the cast. Some are a little bit cliché, but they're alright. I'm waiting to say what kind of direction they go with this series, overall a nice score for me at the moment c:

Love how this seems to be making fun of shit LN battle harem adaptations and the crap studios that make them, like Production IMS or A1-Pictures. It also seems the production is already a disaster, looks like this might end up being a huge flop show. Absolutely loved the moment when all of the dumb otakus got excited because of that awful PV, shows the disgusting target audience for these trash anime. This is going to be enjoyable.

Chitose is officially the best MC of the season. The cocky bitchy fame-grabbing attitude is just so damn refreshing and her capability to put on a "moe" facade is top notch.

AS expected the project is off to a very trainwrecky start too. Not only PV was low quality art but the character designs are also entirely wrong too. The hilarious thing is that Otakus still ate it up. This is literally how it goes in reality too tho. You could literally see shit like this happening in A1 Pictures, or Ufotable meetings lol.

Holy shit how can this show be so good?

Yep, this is definitely AOTS for me (excluding sequel seasons). The cynical take on the anime industry is really well done. The part when they were discussing about the changes made in the character design was really well done and I can somehow see this being a situation in the anime industry in real life. Lol, I died when Chitose found out that it'll be a harem anime, making things more competitive for her. Lol at Chitose mocking Yae's "sugoi, sugoi"! And I love how they're scamming the audience by showing content in the PV that's actually not the real anime. Towada mentioned previously that there's something wrong with the quality of the PV and he wasn't wrong. But man, the PV was so generic and it felt like every other harem-action anime, and lol at the random bath scene. I love how the anime makes fun of the tropes that are used in anime too.

Oh, forgot to mention that the "SORE ARU" line made me laugh like hell. Watari Wataru's a god :3

Yay I looked forward to this anime's episode 2! Chitose got no chill lmao--I like her 'cause she's full of personality. In RL, I probably wouldn't like to be around someone like her, but it's fiction so I'm just glad we have a refreshing character.

That blond's guys nyaa voice wasn't bad, wouldn't mind hearing more of it.

God this industry has its rotten parts indeed, even worse than Shirobako hinted.

Yay I love Kansai-dialect so I'm glad one of the girls speaks that. Yue is really cute too.

Blatant seiyuu refs were blatant.

Dat PV. Very nice backgrounds yet the animation was so meh, even the still shots weren't that good. I guess we were supposed to believe that it was high-quality even if it wasn't all that? Or was it hinting your stereotypical otaku's happiness just from seeing their favorite works getting animated? Oh well.

"Our career may not have begun the same day, but I hope it dies on the same one." lmao I like this girl.

This continues to be one of the best.

PV mocked pretty much everything (Isekai, harem, shitty animation and generic fanservice), obviously, the audience ate that up and were hyped as f*ck.

Chitose is going to get a reality slap real soon. Probably the production comittee mess is going to make the lives of the voice actors a hell. Let's see how she will handle the stress when everything is behind schedule.

Chitose is so amazing.

The way she so casually curses out loud why they mentioned CD Debut, she has best girl of the season all over her.
Intro of the episode was pretty funny. Like how she's trolling Goujou lol

Love that expression she was giving to the other girls lol



Yae is pretty cute, she worries a lot but that makes her even cuter.
And then we have Chitose who was playing games while the others were getting ready, so laid back.

This show has yet to disappoint me but so far I'm loving it. Based Wataru Watari!

Cynicism in fiction tends to lose me very quick and angers me more than anything else. But while Wataru has certainly 1 or 2 two negative things to say about the industry, moments like two members of the staff talking about animation quality for the PV and the episode ending with an emotional reaction from one of them after the shitty PV prove that the show acknowledges someone is working hard on a not-so-great show when we're talking. This is good cynical writing!

I think I can safely say that this show is my favorite of this season so far. It's just so enjoyable and refreshing, and really interesting with this (cynical) take on the whole industry. Chitose is such a damn cheeky and brutal girl. I love it. I liked the new characters as well. OP and ED are so catchy, but I absolutely loved the OP.

SORE ARU. Based Watari Wataru.

Lol Chitose was so cocky at the start. I love how she rubbed at those girls' faces about her getting a role for the main heroine (For a harem series, haha). I really have this feeling that her cockiness will bite her in the ass later on in the series. Doesn't matter though, she's now one of my favourite characters xD

This show is definitely the most underrated show this season and one of the Anime of the Season for me (This and Hibike 2). That "cutesy, moe" cover must have put them off.

5/5 Watari Wataru is God.

Conflict building episode, huh?

A lot of people would love for bit**y Chitose to get a slap in the face by reality... but I will call Chitose shit character if she breaks down because reality won't go her way(?).
I mean: a bit** character that cries just because things going bad is no different than those thug side characters that run away when an OP hero shows up. But Chitose is clearly depicted as a very arrogant pr**k, so I would love her to keep her arrogancy even at the worst time.

ps.: Wataru why hate harem so much? In the end, loads of the harem works you hate are still better than yours! I mean: they actually finish it, you don't. XP (Sure not all but still loads did.)
