Why would they put trash on the wall? So disrespectful.  |

Win what ? Tomoya ? LOL |
Tokoya said: As I said before last week, neither of them are obligated to tell Aki about anything pertaining to the business involving the future of their careers so all the people hating on Utaha and Eri because of it need to grow the fuck up and open your eyes to how the real world works The fact that people need to, in your own words, 'grow the fuck up and open your eyes' already implies that Utaha and Eri behaved rather unpleasantly. I agree with you that them accepting the proposal and Aki accepting that fact is the right choice since it is a great step ahead in their careers and Aki has no right to hinder that. But pehaps what most of the rational and reasonable people felt betrayed about is the way they left. They do have the obligation to inform Aki of their decision, as members of his circle and ,at the very least, as friends. And that obligation was clearly shown to be felt when Utaha broke down crying in front of Aki as well as during the conversation when Eriri could draw again. They clearly felt like they were betraying Aki and the only reason they did not confront him earlier was out of cowardice to face him. So they kept quiet about it. Personally, I don't hate either of them. It is not as if it is the first time someone in the series made a mistake and this really contributes to the drama of the show. It is just...kinda heartbreaking to see them fall apart like that. And not really on good terms to boot. |
| Like last week, this episode left me feeling conflicted, but overall, it was more enjoyable than last week's episode. Eriri has regained her form again, mainly thanks to Akane's stinging criticism about her previous works, but at the same time, she realises that she was only able to improve because of Akane, not Tomoya. That thought alone did make her cry. D= She's decided to join Akane in her project, along with Utaha. Although I'd rather not waded into the intense debate on page 1 about all this, but on a professional point of view, they have made the right move. Akane's company is fully professional, whereas Tomoya's small doujin group couldn't be called professional at all. But to not tell Tomoya about their move to Akane's project is a bit of a low blow though. He's sad to see them go, but that's no reason to not tell him about their move until he asked them about it. And calling Tomoya and bad producer is rather immature. There's no denying that Tomoya has make plenty of mistakes, from the previous season as well as this one, mainly because this is his first time being a producer in the first place. Despite his setbacks, he's come out stronger and more determined, learning from his mistakes and becoming a better producer from it. As a whole group, they produced a very successful game that drew Akane's attention, in which she has successfully scouted both Utaha and Eriri to work for her, despite her acid-like personality. The chances of Utaha and Eriri being scouted if their game was less positively received would most likely been a lot lower. One bright note is that Iori and Izumi have left Akane in order to pursue their own goal at a pace that suits them, so good on them. =) Kato's appearance at the end was a surprise for two reasons. Firstly, she has shortened her hair back to the length she had it when we first saw her in season one. Secondly, was that she wanted to go on a date with Tomoya. It's too easy to jump to conclusions about this being a chance for Tomoya date Kato, which I would be happy if it happened, but I think she wants him to be able to fully get over Utaha and Eriri's departure from the doujin group and move on with zero regrets. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing how the last episode will play out now. =D |
| In the end Kato is the only one by his side :3 |
| A harem who escape from harem's curse? wow Why u cut your hair? most girl got "rejected" and cut hair but why Kato do this? dragonshade said: That can translate to NTR context. Eririn: "I don't feel it anymore with Tomoya, but that woman... " Eriri found out she is M and Aki not S enough for her |
| Into the Internet! |
| Are my eyes deceiving me or did she really cut her hair? And I thought her hair will stay long on later volumes. |
 |
Best girl in the series. LOL! |
 |
| Really unimpressed with how this episode is trying to justify the way that Akane acts; she's toxic, vile and an utterly contemptible human being, and that can't be sugar coated with nonsense excuses such as "she's moved by her passion for the craft". Seriously, this show can fuck right of with that bullshit. Other than the relationship between Megumi and Tomoya, I'm very disappointed with the direction this series has taken these past few episodes. |
| It's funny how they tried so damn hard to excuse Eriri and Utaha's behaviour while also still trying to paint Tomoya in a bad light. It's kinda disgusting actually. |
 |
| When this season was announced, I predicted something along the lines of "They'll complete their game, but Eri and Utaha will be scouted for their talent and leave." So now that it took all season to get to that prediction and I wanna see something new, I just feel unfulfilled knowing we'll probably never get a third season. |
| Fuck those 2. Hurrah for Katou |
| We got the extension of previous episode and it tells us how and why Utaha and Eriri chose to accept the proposal and work the vicious Akane. They can't improve their skills in their dojin circle. As an artist and creator they have to keep improving themselves. And it was all understandable. But I don't think MC would've really mind if they told him about it instead of keeping it a secret. Gotta say, those two girls showing so many emotions and bonding with each other was nice. Especially when we always saw them not getting along ever before. And to think Utaha would end up as the most vulnerable... that I wasn't expecting. Oh welp, last episode. Let's see how it goes. |

I'm actually pretty inclined to follow this pairing since Kato x Tomoya has become so prevalent, so why not just let the two others share in their wonderfully developed relationship. And yeah it's a darn shame you didn't get to post screens of the hugs, just glorious stuff this episode. The context makes all these scenes a million times better.    The goggles never lie. Never. EDIT: I posted these before I was even halfway through the episode. The rest of the episode has too much to even add on. They goggles know only the truth. lol Michiru's nonexistent now |
 "If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick."- Oreki Houtarou |
| For most of the episode I've only heard of Eriri and Utaha's treason plans, they may be right doing this by seeking an improvement in their work and grounding themselves as professionals, but morally speaking, it's an unforgivable attitude, it's the same as to say that Tomoya does not serve to work with both, after everything that happened to develop the game, and mainly doing everything by the Tomoya's back, that was their worst attitude, the lack of honesty with Tomoya .. The first time Tomoya was betrayed by Eriri, he was alone and isolated, but this time even Iori is giving support, and especially, he has Katou by his side, I really wanted to see the two overtaking Akane, Eriri and Utaha, Just one more episode, I hope a great final .. |

| there are good and bad ways to end a relationship, both professionally and personally. If you truly care about the other person/people you are in a relationship with, as the girls claimed they did, you communicate your problems and you either work it out or you move on. The bad way to end a relationship is by doing exactly what they did. You move on, but don't bother to tell the person you claim to care about. With work it would be like your employer calling you on Monday asking why you aren't there and you tell them that you quit and are currently at your new employer. In a personal relationship it would be like staying in a relationship where you feel your needs aren't being met, and instead of talking it out with the person you claim to love you instead just start sleeping with someone else on the side to try and fulfill those needs. In either situation it's a shit thing to do to someone, especially someone you claim to like/love. His ability to trust will never be the same, and it will be entirely their fault. |

dragonshade said: That can translate to NTR context. Eririn: "I don't feel it anymore with Tomoya, but that woman... " Yeah, I think the last time I felt this way was when I watched my first and only NTR Triangle Blue. This episode really made me sad, Eriri and Utaha betraying Tomoya. That was frustrating. I feel bad for him, even if he's an asshole. |
| Ugh, I facepalmed so much at Utaha and Eriri this episode. Utaha got told to inform Tomoya properly before switching ships by her editor, ignores it. Eriri knew she was going to betray him again, does it in the worst possible way. I won't buy their sob story, they are cowards and lack the basic friendship code. Also, Eriri was especially cruel on top of it because she kinda forced Utaha to break the news. Of course, Kato appeared to steal the show at the end again. Last episode should be interesting. |
| Even if it's hard to tell Tomoya in person, Eriri didn't even go to meet with him? How awful, I'm really mad... |

Blarey said: My rating dropped from 8 to 4 in one episode. So disappointed in this outcome, they never made a game at all, what was the point of all this? Eriri can't draw without someone telling her she's shit? Well that makes no sense. I thought they were gonna at least make a game first... Blah, blah, blah furthuring their careers, this is too much realism for a harem anime. I know careers are hard and sometimes you gotta step on toes and all that, but this is anime, I do not care how the real world works. Lets see if the finale redeems itself. 4/10 But they did make a game, it started the whole drama lol. |

You're not the only one, what a great way to turn Utaha and Eriri into complete assholes. It would be one thing if they were straight up with Aki about their intentions, Utaha was even advised to be up-front about what they were doing. But neither of them were, and instead they got all distraught and emotional. They KNEW they were doing a shitty thing to a friend, but chose to do it anyways cause "muh careers" Fuck the both of them |

| I don't understand why we're getting NTR in these last couple of episodes. FeelsBadMan. |

Blarey said: So because they no longer talk about a finished game, and have moved on to another that's better not only quality wise but better for them as content creators, the anime is shit.........And even more so when an explanation for why they left goes completely over your headThey never released it or did anything, they finished it and that was it. A bit anti-climactic, don't you think? Then they never talked about it again. This anime is shit. Classic MAL forum user logic lol |

I know careers are hard and sometimes you gotta step on toes and all that, but this is anime, I do not care how the real world works. Lets see if the finale redeems itself. 4/10 This, very much of this. I hate their treason to him and that ''f- you go do some better work'' bullshit. You can't force an artist to make better art by calling them trash and useless unless they have some sort of a mental disorder which makes them go nuts in creativity when they get yelled. It just doesn't work like that, and I know it good because I'm also into drawing and music as a hobby. An artist would want cheerful compliments about his/her art, not the comments that says that their art is bad and they should kill themself because they are too bad making it. Also Eriri didn't even talk with him about her career choice and she does this type of backstabbing for the second f-ing time. At least go talk with him, he was the bloody reason that you've started to make art'n shit, no ? Hell this stupid show is going to end bad for our MC and I'm just too obsessed with it that I just don't want to accept that we will have a bad ending. |
| Yes, they really did decide to go for the project.. can't really see their talent being drown by Tomoya alone anymore (not that he would even deserve any of those girls). Also, Utaha is still the best character out there. Now either a) Katou will save the day making them joining again with her plan or b) Tomoya just gets the girl and we got happy end (not very likely, I sense a twist in her image of 'date'). Or maybe c) Rouge and Rouge will merge into their circle, bringing Iori and Izumi ond board which would make Eriri and Utaha recondsider (maybe). Still don't know how they want to tie all loose ends in just one final episode.. that would be almost impossible if they want the end to be satisfying.Guess there is a strong possibility of another season incoming. Also, people calling this anime shit when it tries to portray how the things happen in the real life are laughing matter in a sense. You don't get your usual cliche happy-ending fairytale you call this anime a shit? Come on! It was Tomoya in the first place who is failure of director who made their creating experience very unpleasant in the end so at least try to view the situation from both sides. You can all hate Eriri or Utaha as you would hate such girls in the real life of course but don't say the writing is bad when in fact it isn't. If anything the clever, thoughtprovoking dialogues and character interactions together with deconstruction of usual anime cliches are the main selling point of this show and those are brilliantly done. If anyone is written very badly, it's Tomoya with his usual denseness but even then I suspect he's done that way intentionally just to emphasize the contrast between him and girls and also to show how such protagonists are done in other animes. And don't also forget the anime we are watching right now IS actually their completed visual novel, so if anything you just need to go deeper. |

Lol. |

| Utaha and Eriri two goddamn masochist lol Kato best girl but I like her better with long hair though.. and why would this anime got a 7.9 ratings on MAL.. I don't think they deserve this for this season.. But you can't judge anime from the ratings anyway |
 |
| I don't get the hate Eriri and Utah's are getting for their decision. I'm sure they have or will tell him why, but Eriri can't just go up to him and say he sucked as a producer. It's just his ways and their work ethic was incompatible. He'll probably find people that are compatible with his ways as a producer and mature over time. Plus Aki is understanding. Yes, he's sad that they left, but he would feel worse if he prevented them from having an opportunity of a lifetime. He was never romantically interested in them throughout the series and is probably falling in love with Kato. As for the episode. It made me emotional when Eriri could finally draw again, surpassed her previous works, and it was sad seeing her admit Tomoya was holding her back. It was beautiful seeing Eriri and Utaha grow closer. It was sad watching them both cry, and I feel Tomoya needs a moment to let it out too. I doubt that'll happen because the fact that Kato appeared right before he did most likely symbolized her being his savior. I was I'm the Eriri ship throughout the series until Kato showed her other side 2 episodes. I realized that I may like Eriri and Utaha more than her, Kato is for Tomoya. Still though, I wanted to like Michiru but her character was pointless unless she gets more development in the novel but i honestly rather a time skip than a continuation without the same team I've grown to love. |

| Oh my god why did we need two episode's of Terrible Flashbacks. My god the Eri and Utaha stuff was so boring and forced. They could have sped it up and still had the same impact...zero impact. The first episode was a little more impactful because they were done with Tomoya but man we didn't need to see more of that nonsense. Iori and Izumi are probably transferring into Tomoya's school and will join the Dojin club. Freaking Megumi saves the day. The best part of the episode was the ending! |
