At 06:50, it really sucked that wannabe anime voice actress Minako Kanou got
her book ripped in half by that mean blonde girl, Miho Kitou (鬼頭 ミホ). That
looks a bit like a book on acting written by a famous Japanese film director and
screenwriter who died back in 1946. His name was Mansaku Itami (伊丹 万作),
the father of director Jūzō Itami (伊丹 十三). Here are two Wikipedia articles
about him:

The English-language Wikipedia article about Mansaku Itami (伊丹 万作):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansaku_Itami
The Japanese-language Wikipedia article about Mansaku Itami (伊丹 万作):
http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BC%8A%E4%B8%B9%E4%B8%87%E4%BD%9C

In addition to writing and directing a lot of movies, Mansaku Itami wrote 13
books, and one of them was titled "Engi shidō-ron sōan", written in kanji as
演技指導論草案. It was published in 1940.

Minako's torn-up book was simply titled "The Theory of Acting", pronounced
as "Engi-ron" and written in kanji as 演技論. The title seems to show the
author's name as 伊丹 満 which would be pronounced as "Itami Man". The
character which comes after that, 著, simply means "written by".

So it looks pretty clear that the title and author of Minako's book were
modeled on the real-life 1940 book by Mansaku Itami. In addition to that,
the very plain tan cover of Minako's book is old-fashioned. Modern books
would have a colorful glossy cover. So it is believable that Minako was
holding a book that was printed a long time ago. Too bad that the mean
blonde girl didn't appreciate what a precious thing she had destroyed.

If you don't own a copy of that book, or if somebody tore your copy in
half, it turns out that you can read the whole thing for free online. It is
a beautiful scan. You just keep pressing the ← arrow to read the next
page. But don't press the → arrow since Japanese books are read in
the opposite direction from English books. It is just 68 pages long.
https://archive.org/details/aozorabunko_01190

Mansaku Itami's book 演技指導論草案 is not for actors to learn how to act.
It is for movie directors to learn how to direct movie actors to act. Out of
the 13 books that Itami wrote, I didn't spot any books written for actors.

If you think that you have what it takes to succeed in the Japanese anime
voice acting industry, maybe you should order a copy of this book which
was published just two months ago. The title is "The Theory of Acting for
Pros: A Spiritual Interview of Actor Teruyuki Kagawa".

Let's hope that Miho Kitou won't cause any more problems for Minako Kanou
during the rest of the series.

I have mixed feelings.
From one side this is really good anime, nice MC.
But from the other side it was just too simple, maybe I'm too old for this show.
But I will watch it probably.
BTW art looks like anime from 2001-2003. Not that bad like most of you saying.

Hmmm quite disappointed after watching the first episode, even though I've been waited for this since I read the 1st chapter of the manga..

The animation was subpar, voice is fine, though Junichiro's voice could be better.
Arts are pretty much the same as the manga, and overall enjoyment? Not so much. Probably GTO is much better.

"The animation was subpar","Art is same"?! W.T.H. This is 2015 and the animation looks like from 90s era.

I highly recommend to prefer manga this time. It's just beyond horrid, dull expressions, horrible voice acting, really old animation. Well, I kinda expected this, since we are talking about A-1 pictures here which is known for dropping the quality of Fairy Tail 2014 to a whole new level.

SKE48's member as Suzune?
Hmmm I think not bad?

Punching a genius sensei in the face at first day
That's how she get her "Girl boxer wannabe" nickname xD

Dokodemo door!!
Well it's possible.. Really but not in this age

They should show her face (Kanou) when she's crying
That'll be so much better
Poor girl :(

But then again
Those bullies will become Girl boxer wannabe's friends again xD
Guys, don't hate them please!
Don't call them whores too please

Well, you won't after you guys see the next episode, maybe? xD

But seriously it's too bland! Manga is so much better

Liked it more when it was called GTO. Peeps need to leave this poser in the dust and treat themselves to the real deal in Onizuka. Also wasn't expecting A-1 to out-awful themselves after Gunslinger Stratos this season.

Yeeesh i definitely agree with you, the execution is too simple. There's so many epic scene Kagami made in the manga, yet in anime it was just a mere dialogue.

Especially when Kagami "pranks" that three girls i forgot their name, i didn't understand what's going on.

But i can't do anything to fix it, i just can hope next episodes can be better or even exceed my expectation. Appreciation for A-1.

That was decent. I agree to the statement of his that voice actors are very special that give life to the character.

Well.. I did say ''pretty much the same'', not ''exactly the same''. ==
This is A-1 we're talking about, we should've known how it turned out...
I do agree to some people about the executions are pretty weak compared to the manga. That scene at the end looks like a joke to me.

Didn't Suzune sound.. a bit off? She sounded worse than seiyuu from Denpa CM. I know that seiyuu for her is some idol that's newbie and it's noticeable. Giving her main role was a risky move.


Yeah, I also thought she wasn't very good. A newbie seiyuu is fine but not as a character with a strong, tough personality like Suzune.

Also, that animation comes straight from 2005. So cheap, and the faces look off half the time.

Story's enjoyable enough but I hope they get some more funny going. I've read some of the manga and this is not as good, by a long shot.

At least Kamiya Hiroshi's in it, so that makes it worth watching P:

The animation seems cheap and outdated. Something that could be easily rushed. There is definitely something wrong with the voice acting audio.

Suzune's VA isn't very good and I noticed she's a newbie.

Still, the story seems interesting from what I remember, gonna stick around for a while to see if it's worth it.

Animation was pretty cringe worthy, especially for 2015.
I can forgive Suzune's seiyuu for being a newbie, hopefully she improves quickly though.
I'll continue watching it, though the manga is still far superior in comparison.

I have always though that he was a 'she' and I was really looking forward to it, I mean I could barely hold my self from reading the manga..

But then I hear Kamiya Hiroshi's voice!

Well,the only good thing so far is the teacher and Kamiya Hiroshi as his voice. His sister seems dreadful,along with her VA. Smart move from A-1 getting Kamiya Hiroshi in this thing,probably the only worth reason to watch it.

They went with an older style of animation, which isn't bad, but I feel the art can be derpy sometimes. Hopefully it improves.
