----------------------------------------
First off, thank you for leaving it as "onii-san" CR. Much better.

However, now you're putting in every single sound effect. I didn't really need to read "E-gyaaa" but at least, you're getting someone better to do it now. Anyway, I think they put a giant white cover on the screen during the first part :P

That Lacrosse anime looks like it would be awesome. Bet you the next OVA is of that.

Love how Yuuto looked like he was actually considering buying those pictures of Haruka in a swimsuit.

Ah, when someone finally bought Haruka's doujinshi and the music started and it was all sweet and sentimental, I remembered why I like this show.

KYAAAA! Rie Kugimiya as Shana doing the "Tsundere" example! Loved it!

Some good stuff...I also liked the jealousy everyone else was feeling towards Haruka and Yuuto. I think this may have been better than the first episode.

I'm still wondering where they are going to take this show (in terms of plot)...or are they just going to have slice of life/romance/comedy stuff the entire time...

If I have to say it this was rather bad. Really painful to watch all these generic and repetitive jokes. Nothing different from S1. Just the same all over again. It was very hard to watch this episode and that doesn't happen very often for me. I am really wondering why I liked S1 in the first place. I am on the edge of dropping this for good. There are tons of more entertaining shows this season.

Episode was good. Will recheck ATX no censors version. So funny with Gentou and his overreaction and how all though Yuto was doing you know what but was not. Someone should make around 6:59 mark Haruka spinning with shinny eyes gif. Akiho was great too. The picture part with Mika was very funny. A Chateau Rafit 1916. O_O I am from France and this wine costs like thousands of dollars. Lacross anime thing is good too learning morals from it. Thanks to this anime I learned "tsundere and doushinji" meanings. I want to know the meaning of this:
does Shiina lose her virginity or innocence because Yukari and Ruko have erotic plays with her or just a joke?

Sure they do. The version is wrong. ATX one drops all of it and I checked it to be sure. Had to watch first episode 3 times but saw differences. MX also drops but not all. Guess it depends who is showing it when.

Well, I enjoyed the episode except for that terrible censoring. Whoever is doing it needs to learn how to do steam censoring right. It was a cute episode and they worked so hard on that book. I don't think I would have bought it though. I am feeling sorry for Shiina. She's in love with Yuuto but is never noticed. It's a lost cause in any case. She needs to move on. It's like the writers don't know what to do with her and thus ... she gets raped by two drunk women!?!? I don't know ... that scene just seemed out of place / out of context. A "forced" scene if you will. Where are they going with this? I'll just have to wait and see.

In response to Shiina, would be nice for her to kiss Yuto in front of Haruka and see how it gets handled but not sure if that will happen. Why is no one going to answer my question about the flower.....wonder what it means from those who seen lots of animes?????

being groped and molested by your teacher and the sister of the guy you like, is pretty disturbing. I feel bad for Shiina as she really has no chance at all. a tsundere Rie Kugimiya character next ep? well that's original..... not sure how it could shake things up as this is all about Haruka.

After reading the previous posts here, I'm beginning to wonder... are we watching the same anime? Most of you are glowing in your reviews of the episode, but I thought it was just a load of cliched rubbish. Way too much unjustifiable fanservice with a barely discernible plot, bad jokes, worse dialogue and poor artwork.

The first series was well made and had a lovely story, but this has just descended into barrel bottom scraping. What the hell happened Diomedea? Did your writers and animators get bored? Chuck a bucket of cold water over yourselves and try harder next time! If things don't pick up by the next episode, I'm dropping this series.

I'm watching what you're watching. I feel like there's been basically homages to moments that were funny the first time in season 1. All bookended by random shower scene and random Shiina rape scene.

What especially ticked me off was how they passed off Yuuto's massive violation of con code, basically pimping his book like a street vendor. Especially since his reaction (with apparent epiphany) to Nobunaga's "sales aren't important" comment was to try harder to sell it. It felt extremely out of character for both him and Haruka.

I don't think the artwork is poor at all and looks like the one from the first season maybe a little better.
I do agreed the first series was more well made and did have a lovely story more than so in this one but at the end of first episode it looked like it was coming back.

Aren't these doujinshi conventions much more hectic than what was shown in this episode? They made it seem like it was nothing (minus how they showed selling your first doujinshi might not go so well).

wow it have to be a cool feeling to finally sell one of the own doujinshi. and also pretty funny so it was overall a good ep. again the perverted(?) title nex time and the vocabulary explanation is just too awesome.

This episode was one of the most perverted episode I've ever seen in my anime watching history. Nonetheless, selling doujinshis made up for much of it. Even if the message was cliche, I still enjoyed the main part. I really wish they'd stop being so hardcore with the fanservice; I know this is ecchi, but come on, this is too much. It's getting in the way of everything. I agree with everyone that says the Shiina getting groped by two women scene was completely out of place and unnecessary.

Anyways, I'd rate this 3.5/5. Were it not for the gratuitous stuff, it would've been higher.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

p.s. i dont feel this season is any different from first one, same quality of animation, same generic plot.

Exactly, that reaction made absolutely no sense. That being said, I enjoyed the episode, it was light-hearted and rather entertaining; they could've cut out the Shiina abuse though, really unnecessary.

So far this second season was pretty damn disappointing. Now that they've ruined Shiina, too, maybe only Kugimiya Rie can save it. Shame.

Ahaha, Shana has returned before her actual broadcast! Felt like saying it. Well, I liked this episode more than the first episode. Haruka's sketches still suck like usual. I didn't really get it why Yuuto actually started to try to sell more dojinshi after was Nobunaga said. T_T
