| I absolutely adored Yumi in this episode; very mature and professional response to the situation with the author. She had a great support system. The rooftop exercise crazy/stupid; but a girls gotta do, what a girls gotta do. |
| finally that fucking manga author finally approves the hardwork of the glasses girl, congrats to her |
| Marry me, Iguchi-san. Pls pls. |
 |
| Wow, Ema was exceptionally moe this time! Dance scene was great, baseball one too. And I really like character background of Ogasawara they did. Enjoying the loop ^__^ Nice that they finally managed to get approval. Looking at those designs side by side, art changes were minimal though (it's like they didn't wanted draw twice). They only made the eyes bigger and smoothed face outlines, nothing more. Shouldn't be problem to fix that in existing material. I was expecting Miyamori driving into sensei's house but they didn't need to meet him personally in the end. And I know the setting is different but judging by when this anime was aired it's almost like they are doing KanColle, you know. And, now I'm officially loving ED! :) |

| That new glasses guy is such a jerk. I'd fire him right there, go take your arrogance somewhere else I actually like Tarou now :( Funny how that works XD |
 |
| Great episode! I really like where this is going. |
 |
| Ah! Because they see this show in a few? Of course they do not know what they're missing. How they will never know How long comical and interesting episode. Really funny but also dramatic in certain situations. I thought the director would have helped to Iguchi, but it appeared the legendary and mysterious Gothloli. Wow, almost I could not believe my eyes when I go to play softball, and even fewer know the past of Ogasawara. Of course that is also why this anime is appreciated. Really intense episode for me. Glad to see that you are given plenty of room to Ema-chan, despite being a centric episode Ogasawara. Really well crafted the CG of the Volvo 240 sedan. HybridMBL said: ALL HAIL GOTH LOLI-SAMA!

| That editor is even worse than Tarou... |
 |
| (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ Funny story. So these chicks are airplanes, so essentially planegirls, thought it would be related to kancolle since they mentioned midway pillar or something. Everyone at musani seem to be good drivers. |
| Goth-loli-samaaaaaa Emaaaaaaaaa that baseball scene was so cute xD soundtrack was great. Ema's pitching stance o.o I actually said FINALLY! when they got funny story |

| highlights of the ep 1. ema exercise 2. goth loli 3. busted at golf practice range didn't know goth loli used to look like a normal person. great story |
  |
| the famous ema exercise scene this episode. gothloli-sama, respect. |
| Seeing Goth Loli-sama's past was very nice, definitely liked that. Loving the hell out of the ED, too! |
| One of the best episodes so far in multiple ways! 10/10 incoming probably. bastek66 said: Finally Gothloli episode  ++ ^ 42 |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Hell yeah, what a beauty this is so far. Looking forwards to reviewing it, not looking forwards to not being able to watch it again. |
| I don't know how many times I've hngggghed over Ema's Angelic exercises. >_<! |
 |
| Wow, it was true, the in author's designs the protagonist looks younger and in the other she looks more mature. Well, I liked how she looked more mature... Gothloli-sama is the BEST! jaja Am I right? I don't know but, the final drawing is almost the same as the first one, at least to my eyes jeje. God, that ED song is really catchy... Meruna runa, meruna runa! But the prize to the best dancing goes to the sweet Emma and her Angel Dance jaja SO CUTE! I even had to make my own GIF xD  |

| I like this episode! Gothloli past was so sad. I also liked how NabeP barged in "funny story". Im glad that Iguchi chara-de has accepted. Overall nice episode. 4.3/5 |
 |
| Yet another fantastic episode, a lot more exciting than the previous (not to diss that last episode). I felt so bad for Iguchi I thought maybe she was gonna snap and goth loli-sama would have to save the day. But hey it all worked in the end. Her and Ema's angel aerobics on the roof was one of the funniest things I've seen in this very funny show. The awkward beat and than quick cut to Iguchi joining her was masterful. Goth Loli-sama taking the crew to the batting cages was also inspired. Miyamori's fantasy golf loli softball anime was great obviously. Is it standard practice in Japan to have those pitching machines in a batting cage? I'd never seen anything like that before. I've also really enjoyed the change we've seen in Ema this cour. She's worried about her senpai, but in a less frantic and more composed and mature way. Her listening in on the meetings was so cute, both her surprise when Rinko called her out and her celebrating her senpai's successes. I'm also enjoying the new production assistants, of course they're moe girls but I love how they look up to Miyamori and already belittle Tarou. On a final note, I still find the agent/publicist dude really funny even as he's entered full antagonist mode in the last two episodes (funny story) and I thought Nabe-P and that other guy man handling him at the driving range was just fantastic. Hope we get to see him ooze around a few more times before the series is done. |

| You tell them, Goth-Loli-sama. She really shined in this episode. Someone had to help the poor girl out. Joekstar said: zimno said: ematasooooooooooooooooooooo 5/5 Something about this scene is utterly addictive. I want an exercising OVA with Ema now. It's the butt shaking. |
| -Man I get goosebumps everytime the singing starts in the OP -Once again fuck that Chazawa guy -Doing adaptations seems like a nightmare -Hen na hanashi but Chazawa's a douche -Iguchi's taking all of this in stride pretty well, at least during the meetings -Director lying to everyone about being the protagonist, but maybe that's what he's going for -Oh they actually address that in the episode -Learning to count in Japanese, German, and Mandarin ft. Ema, but Crunchy absolutely slaughtered the Mandarin numbers -At least they didn't butcher the Italian counting -Ogasawara looking out for her fellow animators, which is pretty adorable, especially with the smackdown she gave to the director and Nabe-P -Uh I didn't expect this side of Ogasawara -Her hair's... dyed? -Uh, that's one hell of an origin story for the goth loli -This got resolved pretty gloriously, I will admit -Katsuragi and Watanabe in serious mode is terrifying -Oh, the final product that the ED is gradually building upon is shown as a storyboard at the beginning. Seems like Ema was still this episode's subject. Also that one conversation between Aoi and Tarou about the first episode of Exodus was kinda nostalgic |
 |
| I think this was my favorite episode so far. I'm so glad they chased down that crappy editor and got all up in his face! I wanted to punch him myself...funny story! |
 |
on 
| This has to be one of my most favourite episode in the entire show. It has great animation (And it shows), and it also tackles the issue of when your work is not "good enough". It did a good job of that. Any mangaka who watches this show might change their criticism and make it a little more accurate next time. 'Not good enough' is NOT a GOOD ENOUGH response. And Goth Loli-sama playing softball was the best scene EVER! And yes, I WOULD watch it if it were an anime. |
ONWARDS! Away from homework and on to more anime!!! |
| Moral of this episode: Method Character Design works. Chazawa, THAT'S WHAT YOU GET! |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Goth Loli-sama the origins, exactly what I was awaiting! <3 Also, entire episode dedicated just to the chara-designs, that's somehow amazing :o |
  |
| That comment about artists having vulnerable hearts and constantly being met with criticism hit me pretty hard, it's what I've been facing for a while now. |
| Ema's dance was the highlight of this episode. Paired with the music, the scene was pretty funny. |
| 5/5 glad the problem is resolve. That lazy editor really get on my nerves, i am grateful that this is the last time i am gonna see him (i think) Thank goodness Goth-loli sama is there to shape things up and help Iguchu-san with her baseball skills, also Ema's excercise is so cute~ |
| The new guy PA is an ass. But I feel like he'll be more likable as the show goes on. Hopefully? I love the episodes that end on good notes. So much satisfaction when their struggles finally pay off 😊 |
| Funny story, pretty sure my blood pressure spiked because of the editor and the manga-ka... FOR CRYING OUT LOUD JUST GIVE THEM SOME USEFUL DIRECTION ON WHAT'S NOT RIGHT! |
| "EVERYBODY, CLAP YOUR HANDS!" "PLUS ULTRA!" |
| LMAO if there were really an anime about goth-lolis playing baseball, i would watch, 10/10 But really, this manga author's editor is a frickin asshole. |
~my list
| "We get it, oh great Production Desk." Asshole... Funny story—both the original creator of Third Aerial Girls Squad and his assistant guy are awful. I guess everyone just got along too well on the production of Exodus. I was afraid poor Iguchi was going to have a meltdown, and her original design looked just fine to me. I'm really glad she got a design approved in the end and production can resume, even if it meant dragging the poor assistant away from his golf game. Hmm...counting playing golf as "working"...I could make a comparison to someone here, but I'm not going to open that can of worms. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Petition to give Nabe-P a nap, he puts up with so much crap from that editor... All in all a very satisfying episode :D |
 君の声 忘れない 涙も 忘れない |
| Funny story, this was one of theee best episodes. Angel dance, Goth Loli batting, and success of the character design. |
| Ogasawara pro softball xD. |
| I love it when Japanese count in German, sounds so funny somehow. That editor really should get fired. |
| omg, Ema's dance caught me off-guard |
