| I feel like this should have been a first season episode as opposed a early episode for a second season. |
| 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* |

| If only MC didn't suck so badly. These girls are wasted here. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
ProfChaos said: 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 |

LIquId4T0r said: Kinda meh episode. Nothing significant happened. Have you noticed those disgustingly drawn feet in the OP? I thought that it was only me, but now I see that they were actually really weird |

| Kato owns everything with a few moments she appears in. |
 |
| Yep, this is why Utaha is best girl for me. Also Eriri that's what you get for mouthing off because karma will bite you in the ass, badly. |
 |
| The thigh shots this episode :D Also the opening has some weird art. |
| 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. |
| Well Eriri is still the least likable character in the series. Glad the series is back tho and can't wait for moar. |
My Queens  |
| so if eriri didnt snap at utaha they could be good friends now oh and this  |
| Huh. For the most part, I hated the first season, but weirdly enough I thought this was a fairly decent episode. The ending was sweet. Maybe I should go back and rewatch the first season one day. |
| Saekano is probably the only echi harem fanservice anime that i really like. IT'S JUST SO DAMN HILARIOUS. Anyways good start, we got a bit of background to Utaha and Eri. |

Snaita said: Do I need to watch episode 00 to watch this? 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. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| 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~ |
 |
| And that, was the beginning of a long-ass rivalry which our awful thick-headed deaf protagonist didn't even know about.... |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Despite all the bickering its nice to see Utaha and Eriri respect eachother deep down. Glad to see this series back :) |
 |
| Eriri still the makeinu lol Megumi owns ofc |

| thigh, thigh, thigh in wholesale. I´ll see the first season, before see this one. For me, it was funny, but nothing special. |
Lol that sharp tongue well done Megumi :D nice backstory, mostly i dont care about both eriri and utaha even with michiru or izumi but their backstory so good, both of them an artist who admire each other |
| Katou was hilarious at the beginning. Really cool seeing the beginning of their rivalry. |
 |
| Utaha best fucking girl, PERIOD. |
| Amazing! So unbelievably happy that this show has come back. One of my favorites -- the character interactions are priceless. Megumi is the best! Can't wait for more. |
| This was definitively the best moment of this episode. How far has anime come for us to reach this moment? |

| 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. |
megatuga said: This was definitively the best moment of this episode. How far has anime come for us to reach this moment? Megumi's thighs are sexy. ^_^ 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. |
 |
| Nice! very nice episode! more highlights on how the two rival girls met: Kasumi Utako & Kashiwari Eri! the level of entertainment that this show gives me is still exactly the same as S1...hopefully S2 would be better! 5/5. |
 |
| How can anyone doubt that Megumi is the best girl when she's so good at controlling the others? |
 |
| 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. |
| Loving it, just like I did with season 1 |
 |
| Great first episode! The anime I love has returned and things haven't dropped off at all. So excited to see what this season will offer, already had a few laughs. Katou best girl let's go!!!! |
 |
| Not a big fan of Saekano but I gotta admit this episode was impressive.Finally girls in an harem anime has a connection , an extra layer to their relationship other than both being in love with the same bland generic chick magnet protagonist.I really liked how girls have acknowledged each others works and deeply respect it despite their 'hostile' rivalry.KATO IS STILL BEST GIRL THO. |
 |
| I am pretty sure nobody of you got the reference but there was a huge Haganai reference at the start Before the opening .. When katou makes Tomoya read the Line from the Novel .. (The novel was most likely Haganai with the protagonists usual line "Did you just say something right now? I could not hear it..") Which he uses when any heroine hints affection to him and he acts like he didn't hear it .. Quote if you got the reference .. |
| that slap on the wall DAMN =O that's a cute start with them both admitting they wanted a sign from each other |
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons  |
| Nice flashback on how 2 of them met... I eagerly await Katou using her stealth-mode. (though that only really happened at the start of season1) |
  |
| Some character development and an enjoyable episode. Looking forward to the season. I would have preferred if the ED didn't crib scenes from episode 0. |
| Nice to see the past between Eriri and Utaha. The ending was so sweet. Love their chemistry. But Katou steals the show. |
 |
| Decided to give it a whirl. I do still want to like this series. Even though its first season was a sporadically funny, thought it was smarter than it was mess. Interesting choice to go with Utaha and Eriri's first meeting. And kind of hellish since their bickering is the most cliche and tiresome part of the series to me. I liked that it showed how they've always respected each other's work. That was always one of the small things that kept me going in this trope driven train wreck. And honestly while I think Eriri is the cutest. Utaha continues to almost be a smart well written character transplanted from another series. I loved her comment "If they're moved they lose." Like kind of clever and revealing about her character's motivations. I also liked her and Eriri insulting each other's character types. Scenes like that where they tease the tropes of the series are genuinely funny. Sometimes it shoots too high with its meta jokes though. And just seems a little smug and insincere. Also how dare Utaha call blonde foreigners third string options? I'm going to stick with this. Because it doesn't seem to have succumbed to all the traps that make a mediocre harem unwatchable in their second season. And some people seem to believe the series has gotten better and takes its characters more seriously. After this first episode though. Not holding my breath. |
 |
| Pretty decent I must say, not really a followup from the 00 episode but in general I'm looking forward to see what this second season has to offer though. Let's see what's next. |

| This episode had lots of backstory about Utaha and Eriri meeting for the first times. Nice! I liked how it was made obvious that both like (or at least respect) each other despite their rivalry. The last scene when they looked at each other with a grin and exchanged autographs was very cute. (Thanks for buying the extra cardboards, Megumi!) |
