Eiko deserves more respect in this show imo. She's earned her position.

Meanwhile, this episode turned out to be quite a mentally challenging one for Kyouya. Guy carries a lot of burden on his shoulders. On ther other hand, Eiko can also be surprisingly brash when she loses her anger. Yikes.

Once again, Kyouya managed to handle the situation by himself. Gotta say, the President was annoying but I understand, it can be really tense in such a situation but thanks to Kyouya, he begins to understand what needs to be done. But, this also creates the same situation for him just like back then when he mess with his friend's work and ended up ruining their careers.

Oh boy... I was really surprised by Kawasegawa's behavior at the airport. She does care about Kyouya and believes that it's not his fault that it turned out this way. She wants him to ask for her help whenever he needs it. We didn't see much of her in this show, honestly.

When all hope is lost, depend on Kyoya because he's the problem solver, whether 10 years before or after.

Taking over Kawasegawa in regards to their Mystic Clockwork game, and fighting over control with their reluctant CEO, Kyoya does the impossible by using every bit of his team's resources to lend Kawasegawa's team and got the contingency plan all worked out just like clockwork. It's as if he's the CEO's right-hand man (already) that could be fully trusted to lead the company.

To see the CEO concede defeat to Kyoya, that's a massive gamble of a W and gives everyone a win-win solution, whether that'd be Kawasegawa's team or their current illustrator Ayaka Minori. To see her inspiration being from Shinoaki, and even with the latter's fall from grace, she doesn't give up and makes the magic work.

But to see Kawasegawa resign and move to Okinawa, Kyoya making the same mistake 10 years prior with Tsurayuki is of no consolation to pin himself in the spotlight. Even with that extensive damage, it's realization that Kyoya has done things independently and leaving everyone in the lurch, and although he wants to take the burden off everyone's shoulders, it's burdening everyone else as well.

Kyoya is talented, he just needs to be confident in himself. And Kawasegawa just confessed to him like it's nothing lols, it's all in the heart.

Such an emotional episode. Looking forward to the final episode next week, and indeed the truth about Keiko Tomioka: she is defo a time-traveller like Kyoya is.

Kyouya should be a new president. I love the gem compensation idea, 200-300 rolls are god-like.
I would say that Kawasegawa Eiko is an MVP. She said everything that Kyouya should know. She needs more airtime as well.
OOh! Oh! Keiko... It's time for time-traveling again.

If Kyouya was always this talented why did he have trouble finding a proper job before returning back in time. It kinda made sense that he could handle situations better than the rest when he was in university due to having more experience than the rest but he doesn't have that advantage after the time skip, he doesn't even have memories of what he did so it makes no sense.

In the first timeline his university major wasn't about the creative industry (economy or something?) so I'm guessing he just had a later start than other people in the creative industry. He was still capable.

Baka Kyouya nearly makes the same mistake with Tsurayuki again... and then proceeds to own this timeline.
The ending of the episode implies he'll go back in time again, what is he going to do now?
I wonder what the last 2 episodes are going to be about since I'm pretty sure the current 2018 timeline would cease to exist because of it, at least Kyouya won't leave it in an absolute disaster.
Keiko being more mysterious, her still being in her loli form basically confirms she's some sort of time traveler as well, maybe more advanced than Kyouya?

I was expecting Kyoya to solve each and everything, and getting everyone out of rut, so nothing surprising there.

Kyoya seriously needed that from Kawasegawa, the guy just blames himself too much. She really was the best one best after Shinoaki. And that ending, seeing Keiko again sure filled me up with more excitement.

Should've been the last episode today if it wasn't for that recap, but well will be interesting to see how they will wrap this up next week.

Kyouya fixed them problems the game had much better than anyone else could have. Kawasegawa is now rivalling Shinoaki for best girl in this show after that speech also. And now, Kyouya is going back in time! Looking forward to the last episode next week!

It was already obvious to me that kawasegawa was the main girl, but it's still bothersome how the characters in this anime are all soulless what a bad feeling to see these forced conversations, and again we have the protagonist solving the complicated problem as if it were simple, the impression that he gives me and that he is the ex-machine of the business...wow the game is all buggy

-Don't worry my dear friend we can give everyone a day off and change the engine!!!

~But since you're going to make something so complicated out of nothing, we've been stranded for months and we've barely been able to launch the game.

Eiko said exactly what Kyouya needed to hear. He should've leaned on other people but it's not his fault that they decided to quit.

Honestly i wasn't sure which female character was better Eiko or Nanako and was pretty much rooting for them both for most of the anime but now i have to say i would go with Eiko.
Tho this might be influenced by the fact that Nanako didn't have much screen time the past few chapters.

As for Shinoaki i don't find her a bad character but she just doesn't appeal to me as much as the other two, might be just a personal thing.
This episode was a strong one and i have to say i enjoyed it.

Shes always been best girl, she stood up for Kyouyas team for the film project, she wanted them to get first place, and vouched for them by going against her sisters decision.

And the character development and enlightenment she had given to Nanko, when all this time Nanako has been lying to herself fake her smile and happiness, when Eiko sees that and wants to be hard on her with good intention by inciting her reality and the wasted potential that Nanako threw away.

Shes the type of person that goes with hard times first before getting to the good times, that to me is stability, and trust. if you were to go though good times first instead of hard times, you won't know the amount of hard times you will accumulate later on, which would be disastrous.

For me Shinoaki was just too simplistic to me with no depth, and for my case as well, you're not the only one that feels this way. I think Eiko and Nanako has more life and development than Shinoaki does.

If that scene didn't happen, how would've Kyouya knew about this then? Nanako would be in an even worse state, doing something she didn't have a passion for. She is surrounded by people that would not even be honest or direct to her, so Eiko helped bring relaity to the table for her.

well, kyouya wasnt suppose to help considering she is a member of platinum generation and even kyouya said she needs time. and also, at that time they were in sec semester so plenty of time to know what she's capable of. that scene will be much better if, eiko was properly introduce to the team ( considering she was a new member ) and also let the audience know how bad was nanako acting and how she didnt care abt taking it srsly

Kyouya to the rescue yet again and he pulled it off nicely. Kawasegawa getting mad at Kyouya was nice, he really does have a tendency to take on too much responsibility on him. She even confessed on the heat of the moment lol. Also the last part of their conversation was kind of hinting on Kawasegawa time traveling. Maybe this time both Kyouya and Kawasegawa will time travel.

That would drag things too long, the question is would Kyouya and the other group read the room in Nanakos situation? She could had gone far in pretending to be happy and cheerful, and they still wouldn't had noticed that. Nanako might not even realize this at all as she keeps doing this while not being aware of what she truly wants or her potential is.

Kyouyas intervention had ruined her future but it was NOT at that time that Kyouya talked her out to sing on the staage that effected her future! It was the game development arc the effected Nanako and others future, because Kyouya did things his own way and ideas and put it to others which stripped away their creativity, skills and ideals. At that time Kyouya should've accepted ideas from all of them.. So I think Eiko did good on that part and had no negative impact on Nanakos future until the game development arc.

Especially this took place before a singing event, which was the perfect timing for Nanko to develop as she replaces someone else on the stage.

Very good talk from Eiko-san. The fact is

1.Kyoya is not responsible for the failures of the Platinum generation to achieve their dreams. I was hoping someone would say that...and I am glad someone did. And it was the very sensible Kawasegawa.

2.Kyoya should also at least stop trying to be strong. I guess his drive to be strong was driven by the poor self image he had about himself....so he just had to be good..which while it was useful...made him look too good and too high up there for the platinum generation to relate to.

3.At least he has learned his lesson, so no surprise that the pink haired loli showed up again.

It was stated that he had great problem-solving skills by his teacher. Besides that, it was also the case before the time travel where he was above and beyond expectations to complete his tasks where he worked previously (although he become jobless more because of higher-up decisions as he was not in a manager position).

At this point, he is 28 years old, but with 10 more years of experience as a creator/project manager with the time travel. Although, the amount of things he can do is of course debatable.

This episode clearly showed that Kawasegawa is the best girl. Keiko's back too, and I sure missed her accent. I don't really agree with everything she said but that was a motivational speech to bring Kyouya back on his toes. Curious on how they'll end this season.

Changing engines is definitely not so simple but it's anime so whatever I guess.

I think Kyoya and Kawasegawa make the best couple, maybe if remake x2 happens, they'll end up together. I guess we will go through various iterations where he ends up different people? xD

Somehow I didn't think this is the direction the show would go by skipping from one time period/line to another. I was expecting a more linear story where the loop back was essentially just treated like one of those isekai moments.

Kyouya, the almighty problem-solver, comes to the rescue again lol. This guy is the real Jesus-kun. Kawasegawa's emotional speech to him in the airport was a nice scene, that's something that Kyouya has definitely needed to hear for a while. Keiko the mystery loli is finally back, so I guess she's gonna help Kyouya time-travel one more time.

So...are going going back in time? After he just built everything up? I don't understand.

Hooooolllly shiat. I aas expecting it after that speech but damn it surprised me. I LOVE his wife but now I want them to end up together so bad. Also his apologizing constantly is so annoying, there was some Anime I watched recently where a girl said she'd MUCH rather hear a Thank you than an apology(maybe Re: Zero?). And hopefully he knocks that crap off. Although we only have one more episode and I'm sure this won't get a season 2. I was thinking I wasn't going to like the ending at all the way he's been acting but after that ending I am thinking it could be decent. I bet they'll just try to get us to read the Manga though lol
