Utaha's blush <3

Well I thought this episode got more professional in some ways regarding the work ethnics of the characters. A lot of focus on Utaha's partnership with Tomoya though as she holds a prominent role as part of the group. Eiri's little rage was amusing though.

The established rivalry between her and Utaha got a bit intense so I wonder how much more we'll see from this.

I still don't care for Kasumigaoka, at all really. I did wonder if that girl choosing her career over the boy she loves was supposed to be a representation of her relationship with Aki. Maybe that's the real reason she gave him credit for her success, basing her novels on their relationship. Probably not but I'm grasping at straws here to try and find something even remotely interesting. Thinking about it none of the characters, even Eriri who I took an immediate gut liking to are particularly likable. This makes three episodes in a row I've pretty much had to force myself to watch to the end. I really wanted to like this series but I dunno, it's just not doing much for me. I mean I'm actually getting more enjoyment out of Cross Ange for goodness' sake! I'll stick with it and hope for improvement though I guess...

It was fun seeing Utaha's publishers with Tomoya asking some questions. She could had easily answered it but she stalled :D

Eriri should really check the situation before going off lol. It is fun to see that the group is now together officially!

Tomoya being possessive of his dating sim's heroine! It is entertaining seeing Tomoya bring up those settings.

Megumi!!! How much more can they make me love her >.<!!
"I'm sorry but can u leave out the "Maybe"" LOL

The rivalry between Eriri and Utaha always amuses me. They took to war with the marker pens not just on the whiteboard, but on their faces too, lol.

Kato for me remains the best female of this show though. =D

Takahiro Mizushima and Madoka Yonezawa. I know you would do that.
It's a funny situation when half of your characters are so unlikable that right now the only one I can cheer for is Katou for being so patient and forgivable for whatever shit Tomoya throws at her, You are sacrificing too much of other characters' likability just to make your favorite character looks good. Even with Fumiaki Maruto's self-referencing humor it's hard to swallow especially when Tomoya yells at her just because she has a itoko. Katou may not be the most interesting character Fumiaki Maruto created but I'll be sad if Tomoya somehow gets the girl with this attitude. Ignore him, Katou. I know you can't hate anyone but simply ignoring Tomoya is the best way to revenge someone self-centered like him.

This is turning out to be one of the most cringe-worthy shows of this season. The the MC is horrible and only does things depending on his mood, Eriri is an autistic retard that prefers to slap people with her hair opposed to thinking-out situations and the plot isn't even half as interesting nor comedic. I'm giving this show one more episode to redeem itself before it gets dropped.

Nice Kasumigaoka interview :) Somehow I have the feeling that the book series she is writing right now is this anime, would be nice twist in the end :D

I think Michiru will arrive after summer is over... in new semester. Her miniscene flashback this time was good background for her and MC. But if I had to guess she will appear around episode 7 (not to mention music is usually done pretty late into developement when basic planning and script is done).

And that date coming.. heheh :D With this series being itself I doubt we get those obvious developement scenes during it... or more likely we get them but in very different way.

Great episode, I am increasingly curious about the development of the plot and the relationship of the characters, the anime is really fun

And Katou shown increasingly that is the best girl in the anime, all the characters have aspects that draw attention, but her personality and her lack of emotions really bring a big differential

I am also curious about the trauma of Tomoya, I already imagine it to be something that took him to the 2D world ..

Less Katou screen time = less enjoyment. That's what I get from this anime show so far. This anime show is heavily dependent on one character. And that's not good for this show as a whole. I hope I am wrong.

Entertainable ep like others. Kamigaoka's bored/sleepy expressions in that interview is quite cute, really. And we get a hint to think through in about what's the backstory of aki and kamigaoka.

lol at those typical funny expressions from the mc. Especially when he sees katou with some other guy. I thought that he might get jealous at first but no. Trying to earn a mil yen by those part time jobs? That'll take a year lol. Should've listen more about kamigaoka's favor. And let's give props to this guy for having some crazy 3D social interaction skills for a 2D-kun.

I couldnt imagine sawamura without the tsun-tsun attitude. Being a tsun really fits her because of her character design imo. And that twin-tails dempsey roll though. Or should i say erizi-roll. If i were the mc, ill let myself hit by those endlessly.

Katou being logical and funny as always. Lost it when she said "uhmm im sorry, leave off the 'maybe' in that classroom scene lol. Need more screentime so that we can see how well she'll develop.

Nice Utaha-focused first half.. Eriri and Utaha have such an interesting dynamic. Their always had such a fun banter with each other since the first episode. The marker war was hilarious XD

The date should be interesting.

Still I've been wondering how they're going to handle the programming part. I thought Aki would handled that but it doesn't seem like he has that particular skill.
