| I think by her not knowing enough about isekai is a call out to the anime industry. I guess in a way its bringing attention to animators/drawers..etc only focus on one genre and don't keep up or work in other genres that are equally as important Maybe the stereotype of women being portrayed as weak and emotional is also referenced when Luke refuses to let Natsuko join the 9 soldiers, which does tend to happen in anime a lot. I think gatekeeping or not letting others join might be a common thing? The fox is her previous boss, I'm wondering about the significance of that. I don't think y'all are thinking deeply about what's going on and instead only looking at it on a surface level. OP was very nice. Mark my words, I'll be one of the few people who will truly enjoy this anime in 2025. |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| So it actually is an issekai :( Luke's smile at the end ( ꈍᴗꈍ) |
   |
| Was there any differences when Natsuko used her skill, or was it frame-perfectly the same just as in episode 1? |
 |
| I hope from the next ep she loses that silly hairwall for good... |
 |
| Can't blame Luke for falling for Natsuko. She's beautiful and cute. Those eyes are Gojo level (when it comes to attractiveness). So, this time Natsuko drew homing missiles. And she can't repeat it. Meaning, she'll have to save nuke as an ace :D |
| this gives me the same feeling as when I watched another Mappa original, Punchline very good visuals, but weak writing |
| this episode is a little more of the same from the first, with Natsuko warning about an attack and saving the day with her animator power... funny that she can't use stock footage, but the whole transformation is stock footage, lol (I don't mind) we have more interaction with the characters and she trying to go back to her world, what is nice (feel like almost none isekai does this bit anymore) one thing I appreaciate is how she don't restrain herself of talking about the real world, or the things she knows about the story and characters (she even mention character sheet, lol)... it's fun... most isekai and otome game animes seems to take avoiding this as an unwritten rule for no reason.. it's like a taboo one thing I wonder if they will talk about on future is, how the hell did the town survived this attack on the og movie? Like, this is a few days after the previous attack, and Luke was probably still depressed over the cartoon unicorn death... here he is in perfect condition to fight, they are well prepared knowing about the attack, and still couldn't do anything without Natsuko's power... I mean, this city can't fall, right? They have the last crystal thing the void monsters need to destroy to end the world... but how they survive? what if Luke was supposed to unlock some op skill to win or something like that? this could lead to the idea of Natsuko interference, changing the course of the story, ultimately being harmful... like, despite all the bad things, the movie probably had a good ending, right? |
| The aerial attack response was why I rated this an 8. |
 |
| Don't poke the girl in the butt with the horn XD really sticking that horn everywhere. She really doesn't mind spilling all the stuff from the other world that nobody of this world would really care about. Character sheets, sales, keychains, so many bits to fly over their heads. Suppose you can't blame her for not trying to go back where she came from Food is her love, fair. Food has its appeal. She even saved the harvest. See the pattern forming here tho. Only in times of crisis can you draw a plot device to change story progression. This time with a boat load of.. I don't know what. |
  |
| So basically that ability is kind of speedrunning device for her animation skills lol, the chapters/panels that usually takes more than a day will get it done instantly with that ability. The only downside is, it will drain her stamina depending on what kind of drawing she will make. So far so bueno! I liked how fluid and sleek their animation with this one. Homing Missiles brrrt  |

| Well it's good to see that this wasn't a one-hit-wonder, and that this 2nd episode had blessed us with the same amount of eye candy as before. The production so far is definitely more than solid- and we get quite the bangers for the OP and ED as well. Not bad bro. Natsuko is going to have her magical-girl-type powering-up sequence every time she goes into drawing mode now isn't she? But that's no problem at all because what a beautiful sequence it is. As to what she drew this time, got no f*cking clue. Whatever it was though, it was quite satisfying seeing it clear the skies of all those pesky giant flying bugs. Now while everyone's going to look forward to said sequences, I think my personal favourite part of these episodes is going to just be Natsuko eating the hearty meals that Luke cooks for her. Natsuko's face being almost constantly hidden by all her hair is a bit weird, and annoying even. But it just makes you all the more appreciative when you DO get to see her face; kind of like whenever Gojo removes his mask. It's easy to see how Luke is catching himself being mesmerized by her. Her actual character though? Eh, still has to win me over personally. Wouldn't hurt if she acted just a little less like a kid. Ok but the real question now is: did that unicorn kid actually put his horn up Natsuko's ass?? |

| Band-Maid's OP is a lot better than the offerings from this rather weak season when it comes to OPs, that's for sure. Sou's ED is a touch above average as well. A Tale of Perishing is a lot sound as far as it goes, but Natsuko being reincarnated in her own story certainly gives Luke Braveheart and the other members of the Nine Soldiers the cynicism shown on their faces, especially with the pegbar that only is called upon to defeat the monster Voids. And her fascinating interest upon her own imaginary world, coupled with the fact that there's only one Soul Future left before the Great Void diminishes their world, which Baobab wants her to be part of the group due to the critically of her knowledge regarding the Voids. It's just too bad that Luke could not get along with her, and as much as Natsuko wants to return to Japan, there's just no two ways around it. Indeed, Luke just can't leave Natsuko alone, and has to trust in her judgment since she's the director of the story...and has to survive on food for the time being. By then, Natsuko's become somewhat famous for being the new member of the Nine Soldiers, in anticipation for the next Void attack, which indeed came from the sky. And with the pegbar not being able to accept existing drawings and only new ones, this mid-air battle dilemma forces Natsuko to get creative while Luke and the others help hold back towards her animation attack, which MAPPA certainly knows how to deliver on quality. This certainly holds a lot more promise now... |

| I liked the opening from the first viewing! The episode is interesting and quite funny. Finally, they showed more of the main character's face. |
| I feel like there could have been more potential for this anime... the story could have been that she gets transported to different anime every episode (or every other episode) to explore all the genres and different types of stories that could be created. It would make sense since she was in a creative block in the previous episode and that's what I thought would happen but it looks like this is just a regular isekai. |
couple of things that ticked me off but let's not bother  done after next one anyway |
| Not a big fan of her rotten personality, even if she has a pretty face… I won’t li— I like her! She doesn’t want to see Luke break down from losing his loved ones like in the movie. I can’t say for sure if she realizes that herself, but I’m guessing she does. For now, nothing particularly interesting has happened. It seems Natsuko’s ability to change fate only activates when there’s an actual battle. |
   |
| Is this basically a magical girl isekai? If every episode will just reuse that formula with the copy paste transformation sequence, this ain't gonna be enjoyable on the long run. |
| Anti-aliasing enthusiast |
| The transformation scene and the attack are really insane. But how did they beat off the void in the original story after losing the unicorn ? |
| Luke slowly but surely falling for Natsuko, oh my |
| There should be some repercussions to her power right? It's too OP |
