Uhh yes they do? Saekano S2 ep 1 was uploaded like 12 hours ago. Though not in 1080p (yet?), just 720p for now


In any case it's so nice to have this series back after all this time

Really like how friendly Megumi and Eriri are getting.
Megumi fixing Eriri's outfit after the argument was sweet. And Erriri's tone and smile when she was saying that she would make another autograph for Katou. I was like hnngggg. She has weab friends to talk to now openly! =)

Edit: Megumi best girl though.

The first episode was great with regards to showing the past of both Utaha and Eriri. Actually, I love the series, but I do not like that they are going with Kato's route. I mean, there's nothing special about her. She's dull, boring, and so passive. I seriously think they should've gone with the Utaha route, because I personally think she is the most interesting among the bunch. But i still love the series overall. I just do not like the route.

P.S. This is purely my own opinion on the series and on the girls. No hard feelings or offense meant.

What was happening in the episode? I couldn't grasp the story out of it. But after reading some comments, Eriri and Utaha-senpai are fans to each other? Damn it. Either way I loved the flashback. I hate this harem where all girls are interesting much as others, especially Megumi (I don't know why I like Megumi, but she used her "short" screentime amazingly) and Utaha-senpai.

I find it funny how this season we have two harem series, both with the MC voiced by Matsuoka Yoshitsugu and both getting called out as a dense protagonist in the first episode. :D

And the "Best Girl" wars have started again. =P

Although admittedly, I'm still sticking with Kato as the best girl for now. =3

For episode 1 itself, it was interesting to see how both Eriri and Utaha first met in the past. Although they were having a slagging off contest about each other's works, they knew deep down that they admired each other for their talent and the content they made.

What Eriri couldn't do in the past was to get Utaha's autograph, so in the present Kato made sure Eriri and Utaha would make autographs to each other on one autograph board, but eventually they would use a few more in the end for Tomoya and Kato.

The result of that after the credits was pretty nice though. =)

The credits itself had certain clips from episode 0, which again showcased just how sexy the girls look in their respective bikinis. =D

Overall, it was a very good start to season 2 and I'm looking forward to seeing more in the near future.

well it still looks good as it did before, I think? This episode was a whole lot of nothing other than some backstory that should have been used last season instead of now. with a lot of nothing happening i began thinking, how was i able to get through the first season? the characters and story is still as uninteresting as it was before, with the only new thing being added were more girls. i'll put it on hold till it's over

that fight of Eriri and Utaha with cliché concepts of Anime and Novels were pretty accurate LMAO and it basically explains why I tend to hate on most Childhood friends hahaha *cough cough* Koyuki from Fuuka *cough cough*

Wow, Eriri is just the worst. Not only did she stop talking to Tomoya, but she also went and tried to trample on Utaha's feelings for him, so that she would back off.

If that was anyone else but Utaha (like say a really shy and silent type of girl) then they would have gone home and cried for the rest of the day. Felt like that was straight up bullying.


that's exactly why i hate most of Childhood friends, they dissapear during a long time, but they think that they have ALL the rights of his pants and when they see that she will lose him, appears from nowhere messing all over

in defense of Eriri (don't remember much first season) she isn't that bad as a childhood friend since seems like she understands that

Eriri's imagination seems dangerous...

The glimpse into the background of Eriri and Utaha was intriguing. Despite what they say, they do like each other's works, if nothing else. Megumi is still the best, though.

Anyways good start, we got a bit of background to Utaha and Eri.

Well, the last 10 minutes aren't 'fanservice' and actually show some interesting interactions between the characters, especially at the end. Certainly, it's not a waste of time.

It’s finally here. Nice first episode mainly about Eriri and Utaha relationship (they could have been good friends/sisters if not for Mr. Ethical's Tomoya's existence) and how they are Tsundere about each other...!?

Hmmmmm. This was good. This was actually a really good episode and I enjoyed the Blond one and the Black Haired one's interactions with each other quite a lot. I guess I just hate MC or something. I could honestly watch and really enjoy an anime dedicated to just the these two girls, gay or not. If only MC wasn't there.

Glad to have this series return and the first episode was pretty good to boot!

Not too keen on the flashback right off the jump but it feels like the 1st season never ended, so I'll take that feeling with open-arms.

Can't wait for next week~

Yes, Kato is just too good, as always. I am amazed how scriptwriters always manage to left such a powerful impact with just a few phrases from her. And I really love these constant references to anime/manga/vn culture, I definitely looking forward to new episodes.

that was nice. Didn't know what to expect after the fan service ep0. Especially because I totally forgot at which point season 1 ended.

Looks like Eriri and Utaha could actually be friends without every talk ending in a fight if they didn't fall in love with Tomoya.

At least they finally got each others autograph after being too proud to ask for one the whole time they knew each other already.

I really loved the focus on Utaha and Eriri.
Eriri's reaction when Utaha reveled her work name lol.

Overall season 2 is pretty solid thus far.

So it was a flashback story on how Utaha and Eriri first met. Now I get the feeling even if they quarrel with each other all the time, they have the most mutual respect to each other. This is off to a good start.
I love the new OP and the ED, the visuals in the OP are superb.
Also, the illustrations made by Eriri were really pretty as well.
