Heh, the friendship parts were cute to watch this episode. The little tea/dessert party or whatever they were having looked kinda fun.

I hope to see their skills develop more in the singing industry since that's pretty important.

I think everyone was hoping this would go full yuri route, hopefully continues in the next episode. Like the next episode preview said, hopefully they try putting it on, then take it off ;3

Hmm...well, I wasn't looking for the same thing apparently nearly everybody else was. Not that I'm against that sort of thing, but to me it's more interesting watching how Nanako is adapting to her job. She didn't want to do it, she's very uncomfortable about it, but for some reason something inside her is wanting to make the best of it and something about the idea of helping the community is bouncing around in her head.

I fucking love this anime, im so hyped up for this because of the yuri manga even though this is probably all the yuri that this anime will give.
Awesome characters and entertaining,
looking forwards to the next ep.

BTW: hoping this will turn into a shoujo-ai

I bet Yukari placed that yuri manga there for Nanako to find ;)

"I practiced how to accept you if had special tastes" *while overheating*

*hugs the stuffed toy Nanako held earlier*

I did not expect this. I didn't get any vibes from episode 1 at all. Not complaining ^^ I have a feel this is probably the closest to yuri we'll get in this show though.
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness."

"May those who defy their fate be granted glory."

Yes, that might be nice. However, my speculation is that this is going to be one of
those anime series where the "Yuri" part is played for laughs, or just a subtext or
just a secondary part or small part of the story. Here are some examples:

Kokoro Library --- Her older sister has a creepy obsession about Kokoro.
Azumanga Daioh --- Kaorin is crazy about Sakaki.
Kanamemo --- One full-blown yuri couple, but it's just a small part of the story.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica --- Has lots of strong hints that go nowhere.
Saki --- "A Yuri anime with a lot of Mahjong subtext", some have said.
Strawberry Marshmallow --- 20-year-old Narue had some strange inclinations.
Yuru Yuri --- Not a full-blow Yuri, despite the title.
Non Non Biyori --- Hotaru has a very strong girl crush on her sempai.
Kitakubu --- In one fantasy scene, Claire and Karin were the "Eve and Eve".

If you are hoping for a "Yuri as a Central Element", you are likely to be disappointed
since they don't make those very often nowadays. See here for a list which is a
good starting point:

These yuri vibes! I'm all tingly! This anime is such a tease.

Loved this ep too. If the yuri intensifies, I'm gonna give it a 10/10.

EDIT: Izawa Shiori's sex voice was spotted... I mean heard, in this episode! She's the seiyuu for Nyanako's classmate - Noda Shouko. I hope we will hear more of her!

I would also add Akuma no Riddle to this list - it even has "shoujo ai" genre listed, but we get close to none (Only Hitsugi and Chitaru were close enough, and only one ep was dedicated to their relationship :/ )

And also, everyone is talking about the yuri vibes in this ep, yet no one pointed out the next ep's title? Hmm... (Yeah, i know that there's not much hope, but i'm craving for Yuri like hell since Sakura Trick ;_;)
I'm from Poland, so i'm sorry if i make some mistakes in english sentences (including this one)

This was too cute. I felt the yuri vibe even when they were talking on the roof about whether they're actually helping, especially with how close Yukari leaned into Nanako.

Please do not post simple one liners. Try to explain why you enjoyed this episode or parts of this episode or why you didn't enjoy this episode or parts of this episode.

This was cute, though a bit slow paced in the beginning. When she made the call at night the pacing caught up to normal. I wonder if these Locodols will get more to their group, seeing those three girls in class were nice.

I love how she ends her interviews and I do hope this stays throughout the series.

Oh my, I'm loving these yuri vibes I'm getting from this anime, Nanako finding that yuri manga Yukari was reading to prepare to accept her if she had "special tastes" XD. I had no expectations from this anime but it turned out be so lovely I'm craving for more. Hope the yuri vibe stays.

I'm surprised at how low the rating for this show currently is; I think it's pretty good.

I mean, I know everyone likes different things, but I think they've definitely managed to play up the special characteristics of the show's small-town setting effectively. The first two episodes have also done a good job capturing the embarrassing mood of a first-time live performer. Sometimes when I watch something embarrassing happen in TV shows I end up getting embarrassed by proxy even if it's supposed to be funny, but with this I've been able to empathize with the main character's situation and still enjoy watching the show without cringing.

I found this episode a little better than the fist one, and I liked that one, so I'll keep watching.

I liked the scenes showing them working on the more mundane aspects of their job and how Yukari encourages Nana when she starts to flag.

The bonding scenes were also cool and not too over the top.

7/10 for this episode.
Waiting for new members.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

Didn't like this quite as much as the previous episode, but still quite enjoyable. Didn't notice it till now, but the OST is actually really, really, nice. It uses a nice variety of instruments, and fits really well.

it's like there's always the "nya" girl in idol anime (that is, a girl in the group whose charm point is speaking cutely by saying 'nya')

Idolmaster: Hibiki
Love Live: Rin
Wake Up Girls: Airi...or was it Minami? i have terrible memory
Locodol: Nanako "nyanako"

Yukari is rich (as one might have suspected from the previous episode)
Nanako is steadily getting better at being a locodol

5/5

Episode light and crackling, the narration was enjoyable and I came to the end of the episode without me noticing.
Clean designs and characters more sympathetic, to make up for possible defects such contexts nice but not exceptional, the simplicity of the story, for those who do not like slice of life stories.
I keep watching this television series with great joy.

Watched this at 2x speed, the moe, comedy, and clumsiness (played off cutely) was annoying. I liked the yuri mag tho, it would be so rewarding if they include some unexpected yuri in the series. (you can see both girls in swimsuit in the ED, though it's probably blonde comforting/easing up embarrassed Nyanako)

So Yukari is a rich girl.

Yukari's room looks more like a mansion. Flat screen tv, movie storage, surprised she was shy

Hopefully the yuri route comes true.
