----------------------------------------
Mm, this episode felt slow..probably because they are still working and Utaha even fell asleep at one point. Yandere confirmed

Eriri has a lot of anxiety still and that doesn't surprise me with the deadlines coming up. Megumi is adorable as always imo this episode and that seemed like a date to me. She fits quite well imo for the main model for their game.

All the episodes have felt slow so far, well it doesn't help that I can't bring myself to like most of the characters that much. The best thing about Kasumigaoka so far was her gebil style way of eating pocky...which isn't saying much. It looks like my hypothesis regarding the inspiration for her novels might hold some truth after all. Kato seems like less of a character and more of a walking plot device for observations about how odd the otaku culture is, what with her calling out the implausibility of manga style facial expressions and brother/sister love. Them constantly pointing this out doesn't make it any less annnoying either.

Things are still moving a bit slow but it was okay episode overall. I wonder what important place Tomoya has to go.

Utaha in her writing mode with some yandere in it seems quite fun. The story that she wrote with that final battle...

That really is a crowded shopping mall! Sort of enjoying Tomoya's otaku side with his passionate loud voice at times.

It does get interesting thinking what makes an ending good subjectively. To what amounts of satisfaction does it need to be good, perhaps to the point that the viewers no longer need anymore as it was completed to such extent.

Interested to see what sort of personal touch with Tomoya add to Utaha's story.

Katou! Loved their date. I wonder what important place Tomoya was talking about. We were shown Utaha so is that what he meant? No clue but we'll find out next episode.

5/5!

I really enjoyed it. Utaha was simply hilarious with her yandere reactions and Katou was... well Katou <3. Especially those last few minutes were so hnnngg~.

The art could have been a little more consistent, tho.

Megumi being confused wth Eriri was saying at the beginning with her spaced out "Aah?" was so lol and kawaiiii <3 XD So was Megumi how she was being confused about the lines she's practicing "Hmmm?" :3

Dat reaction to "Date" ripping paper and dropping the laptop XD Awakening the Yandere writing lol

Quite the story Utaha wrote XD Dem tone shifts lol

What are u saying Kato!! U don't know about the existence of pure wincest :O

How she was being considerate for Aki telling him to postpone the date. What a perfect waifu :3

Lol'd at her "Regardless of the truth we're actually raising that ratio" to Aki's damn reaju!! XD

Still waiting for Michiru T^T

This is becoming the most enjoyable anime this season, perhaps more so than Kiseijuu

FYI, do you guys know that the author of Saekano LN is the same guy as the script writer for White Album 2 VN?

My favorite episode so far, I didn't expect this show to be good. It gets better each week.
Kato is adorable, as always. Looks like Tomoya once rejected Utaha... I need that backstory asap. It seems he'll be seeing her next week anyway. 5/5

Utaha is without a doubt the best....She just went full Yandere...The best kind of dere....I am beyond in love with her now >//< That entire scene was just perfection

The date was pretty cute too, I'd be lying if I said that Kato and Tomoya weren't great together, she's a pretty awesome girl herself

I lol'd so hard when Eriri was trying to make Kato act like a Tsudere xDDD Her advice to Tomoya was pretty interesting too...I really like her as well

The game that Utaha made seem cool too....Although I'm not a fan of the whole incest-ish stuff I think that it's pretty cool....I wonder how they're gonna get Kato to act the part though lol

And why the hell hasn't Tomoya's cousin appeared yet D:

I don't know what you guys are talking about, the episode wasn't slow for me at all.

This is definitely the best episode till now, it was so good, holy shit. Can't wait for the next one. Really wondering how things will end with Utaha.

And Katou, stop being so cute already, dammit. It's awesome how they anime managed to make the plain girl the best girl.

Also, the ED is surprisingly catchy. I finish listening it every time I watch an episode.

Hah! It was funny when Katou tried to give her "glare" look. It seems that Tomoya and Utaha have met before in the past. But that plot! INCEST FTW! I would've never thought that Utaha would come up with such a thing for a story. The last scene in the glasses store was cute.



Where are you, Michiru!!!

LOLOLOL, that story by Utaha, so awesome! I do hope they will really put that story in the game.

Yandere-fest in this episode, and that initial story written by Utaha sums it all up perfectly XD

Kato is soooooo adorable, can't get enough for her. More please! Definitely the best heroine of the year so far. That date went well, and the scene at the last store was so cute!

Judging by the ending, I guess the next episode would be a bit more heavy? And when is this Michiru character going to show up?

Typical LN pacing, keeping everything in the dark and only reveal it when the plot needs moving. In WA2 the backstory between Haruki and Kazusa is the most important piece of puzzle that is the core of that series, revealing that at the right time gives us a new prospective of what kind of person Haruki and Kazusa really were and how their relationship mattered to them. In this one I don't see the reason holding Utaha and Eriri backstory when they are just a construct of what otaku considered waifu material, but I guess since it's how the LN is written, the transition and buildup is alright nonetheless. It's funny watching a one-dimensional character complaints about how one-dimensional the two-dimensional character acts like.

Excellent episode, had a bit of sentimentality and quite comedy, laughs a lot in several scenes, the characters are also hilarious, their personalities stand out

I was also very curious about what happened in the past between Utaha and Tomoya, but I still think Katou is the best girl in the anime, even with his coldness and lack of expression she is still very cute

This anime is already among the best of the season, I'm creating increasing expectations on it ..

Utaha constantly being best girl and having the funniest reactions to Aki's harem.

Honeslty don't understand how everyone thinks Kato is best girl. She's literally a borderline sociopath. With her very very few cute moments, she tows the line between a serial killer level sociopath and a mild sociopath.

Like what world do we live in where making zero facial expressions and being completely dejected from everyday life is cute? Unless you're the weirdo emotionless loli from a shounen anime.

I'm not sure, but i think this is utaha and that dumb mc's story in the past, http://www.mangahere.co/manga/saenai_kanojo_no_sodatekata_koisuru_metronome/
Chapters 1-5 that is. (I think raws have chapter 6-11, im not sure,again)
