Heh, the idea of making a doujin game actually sounds interesting.

The episode was kinda fun to see with everyone at work. Kyouya himself is becoming more and more responsible for those around him. Feels like he's kind of the group leader with a voice to be heard among his group.

Tsurayuki's parents asked him to become a doctor, but he didn't want to become a doctor so he had to pay his own tuition fees.

Kyouya is planning to make a doujin game with a school life theme, I hope it goes well.

Tsurayuki has a fiancé? lmao

Kyouya and Shinoaki's ship is going strong lols, with the blueberry girl's innocent initated kiss. And is Tsurayuki sick? Seems like he is, overworked and overstressed to his limits because of family reasons. This art college is his last hurrah, and if he doesn't succeed, he's gone for good.

A good thing that Kyoya has a solution for him: making an Doujin game (that would cement them in the future as the Platinum Generation circle). And of course, the next step is to approach Keiko and her well-known circle, use their name to get them to a good footing. Indeed what Kyouya spits out the generalism of Doujin games, the other's natural instincts is to think otherwise about it. The only way for them to know is by playing one, and both Nanako and Tsurayuki sure threw tantrums over it, but this request is not easy to fulfill. Pulling all-nighters is a known cause that'll stretch these

All that matters for Kyouya is getting the people he already knows from the future...and someone disambiguous. Naturally Keiko let Kawasegawa's sister (their course teacher) in the know, and this information is free real estate for all for evaluation.

Didn't think that it'll be soon, but the someone disambiguous is Sayuri Jishoji, showing herself up with her bodyguard at Kitayama Share House, proclaiming herself as Tsurayuki's fiancé. Things at the share house are gonna get a lot more quirky!

WELL...isn't this quite the Sakurasou situation all over again.

REMINDER: No episode next week, recap episode.

Looks like this episode was mainly focused on Tsuarayuki and how he went on a different path other than the chosen one from his parents. He's paying his tuition fees on his own and he has to earn money for that but health always comes first. But, he has his own reasons. Kyouya and his friends are ready to help him.

Kyouya chose to make a game with all of them doing different things, which is actually a doujin game. A doujin game can be a challenging one for the sales. So, they'll have to create a banger. With Ecchi scenes included. LOL. This game is gonna be challenging for them and it's already showing its effects on them. But, they're determined about it. So, that's great. Also, Tsurayuki's fiancee is here. WHAT?

yeah!!! Creating an 18+ doujin game. Can't wait to see it.
A lot of problems were raised. Kyouya was like a babysitter in this episode.
Still a very long way for them to finish their game.

Shino Aki continues to be bold and I love it. Tsurayuki has it rough with his family situation but thnx to that they are making a doujin game right now. Nanako and Tsurayuku's reaction after playing a sample game was hilarious. Also yo Tsurayuki has a cute fiancé, Sayuri. She seems like a fun girl.

Wait helping your friends is a bad thing now? So when one of your friend is in trouble you are just gonna leave him be? Also what's wrong with depending on your friend when you need help. That's how life works. You help someon and in return you accept help when needed. I seriously don't see how people can find this annoying.

Lmao the jealousy is jokes, and shinoaki being clueless is the cherry on top.

Yes you're broke so making a game is honestly a decent idea, but going with a doujin 18+ of a school is .. something to say the least xD! But more power to them! Being worked to the bone and many sleepless nights, combined with awkward conversations when requesting help was interestingly funny lol.

Fair bit of foreshadowing that he had a fiance - family of doctors, fairly well brought up, and a mysterious woman that seems to be following a protag who wants to leave lol. Honestly enjoyed how they poked fun at those games and by extension some harem animes on how the girls have no substance loool

Did I miss something or was nanako's1 realisation of aki and kyouya's relationship brushed over? Yeah she got annoyed and gave some cursory glances mind you, but if I missed something do let me know!

This episode gave me some Saekano vibes. A dojin game/visual novel.

I thought that they would make it in a second but they're doing a pretty good job. Struggling and solving your problems is the key to win.

Some scenes were rough and some were pretty funny. Espically when they fell asleep in class xD

Tsurayuki's fiance is the girl that we saw (Sayuri) and Keiko is as cute as always.

Well things seems to be heading pretty well despite the setbacks, creating a game isn't easy tho and even if you manage to make one selling them is a different thing all together.
The characters where pretty funny this episode with everything that was going on their reactions where great.

Now i wonder what will come from the cliffhanger.

Oh yeaaaaaaaaa Tsurayuki episode. I would want to punch Kyouya too for suggesting so lightly that he even had a solution for what he’s going thru, hopefully their eroge works out & helps Tsurayuki out!

L O L @ Tsurayuki’s pottery creation hahahahaha

Tsurayuki, a dotei with a fiancé. Of course.

Still not much plot progression or character development on Kyouya’s end…….I guess it was nice to see Shino Aki wanting a kiss. But of course, an interrupted moment.

Ugh, so it's cool they are making a game, but hasn't he ALREADY played the games they made? So shouldn't this be easy as hell to guide them to what they are supposed to do? Also they do a few hours of side work and they are just passing out and can't function after a day or two(or maybe a week)of working? They are like 18-19! That is the PRIME of your energetic life, I used to be able to work 60 hours a week, workout for 2 hours a day, go to the Bar and party after til 4am and wake up for 6:30 to go back to work, these kids should be able to handle a few hours of extra work. Also I'd kill to be 19 again, and for his chance at a second life! Imagine how amazing it'd be to go back to your body at 19 and have the brain you have now?! Even if you were 25-30 you could fix so many mistakes.

Oh so they just brushed past the fallout of the end of last week's episode. Well since I'm not a fan of love triangle drama I have no issues with that. Now the focus shifts to Tsurayuki and his personal issues, and damn I didn't expect him to have a fiancee lol.

Another episode that was solid enough to keep me from dropping it.

The decision to move past the love triangle for now was the right choice. That would have made this anime feel more like a trashy harem/romance anime whichis not what this has been presenting itself as up to this point. Dealing with that later or having it come up organically as a side focus would be best.

I like that we are learning more about Tsurayuki’s character and circumstances, but everyone jumped on-board way too quickly for an idea that they are not that sold on to begin with. The main trio of friends all have their problems with their role in creating the game and are taking time out of their loaded schedules of school and work for it. I get that they want to help out Tsurayuki, but there was no pushback given how unenthused they are about the genre and the amount of effort it will take.

Don’t even get me started on the backgrounds guy that just straight-up accepted after only hearing “We want you to draw backgrounds for our game”. Usually in these situations the person would try to get an understanding of the project and payment before commiting to such a labor-intensive task.

Nevertheless, I’ll watch the next episode and hopefully that fiancée won’t be too unbearable.

For a moment there I thought I was watching Saekano, even the art style and character designs kinda look similar. And the Fiance resembles Katou Megumi a bit. I really hope they get over with the love triangle drama quickly.

Also as expected, Kyouya first helped Nanako and now it's time for the other guy. Maybe it will be Aki afterwards, tho she already had an episode before.

gotta say the show was getting a bit stale, but the relationship progress with shinoaki and now the doujin game and Tsurayuki's fiancé have added so much to the mix.

I love how Kyoya had to educate all his flatmates on what a doujin was, but most of all I love Tsurayuki's reaction to playing the doujin because that was legit the same reaction I have to watching bad ecchi anime. Their plots are so damn stupid in every conceivable way and none of the girls speak like normal human beings. I just kind of assumed it was because the writers were incompetent, and no good writer would ever drop so low as to write for a doujin. But one the other hand it makes a lot of sense for the writers to be intentionally creating fantastical women to suit the genre conventions. (Although in anime in general there seems to be a lack of realistic female dialogue, so I have trouble chalking that up to genre convention).

This is a surprisingly light episode considering how it ended last week. And while the whole doujin-creation thing is a bit overused, I feel like it was interesting enough with this group of characters. Though, it seems like we're back to jumping from scene-to-scene.

I'm looking forward to seeing what they end up coming up with. So far they still don't seem all that close to living up to the name of, "Platinum Generation."

So is the kiss just not going to be addressed? I thought it was a great episode outside of that part. There were little things in this episode which made me respect the art and animation a lot more then I already had.

Also the lines that Tsurayuki were saying from the game had me in tears.

Kyouya has it rough as a director.

The way the episode started and Nanako walking in on an almost-kissing-couple and brushing it off like nothing happened felt really off. Expected some drama, but I guess they will just skip it or will be addressed later on.

Tsurayuki sounds like he has had a really rough time, falling out with your parents and they not paying for your school, simply cause he choose to pursue a different career. So the solution for that money problem is a doujin game suggested by Kyouya and I am surprised how much support and help he's getting for it already. I love how nobody in the group understood a thing about doujin games.

Ayo, Tsurayuki has a fiance???? That design looks really familiar!

Mixed feelings about this episode.

I didn't really like the set up for this episode. Tsurayuki being sick/broke and can't pay tuition kind of came out of nowhere and was just crammed in before the opening played. It just felt rushed and not to mention it made me wonder if they don't have student loans in their universe. I know it's just a plot point to get them to start making doujin games, but I feel like there was a better way to transition into that.

I did enjoy the rest of the episode. I feel like they're finally able to utilize the fact that Kyouya came back from 10 years ago, with him knowing future trends and knowing future artists.

With the show half way over, definitely looking forward to how this ends.

I was ready to see some overdramatic romance drama episode with Aki-Kyouya-Nanako love triangle, but instead we get a Tsurayuki episode. Not bad!

I thought we will get another melodramatic episode with how the episode started with Tsurayuki's problem, but glad the atmosphere quickly changed from that. I don't think making a doujin game would be the best way to earn money in that short time, but it's interesting to see how the game making journey started for them in this timeline......which makes me wonder how it even started in the original timeline, since none of them besides Kyouya seems to have any interest in these games.

And the episode ends with Tsurayuki's fiancee. Guess my ship Tsurayuki x Nanako is sinking now lol.

An entertaining episode overall, probably my favorite one so far.
