| Davison I was wondering WTH you were doing??? NICE SHOTS! I liked the audition part on the performance of Daiko and Kyoko! XD Daikon, Daikon! Other than that Kyoko was AMAZING DURING THIS EPISODE! From angry to vengeful to happy and emotional SHE REMINDS OF SANAE FROM KODOMO NO OMOCHA except she is adult. Really ENTHUSIASTIC girl! I LOVE THE PART that she realizes it will take more than revenge to make things work. That IS A EXCELLENT realization! I wonder why did her mother leave her if she taugh her many things?? Why is Maria taken by Sawara already after only fingering him on the fore front??? I wonder who Maria really is, background and all! HIGHLIGHTS! Kyoko being serious during audition+Happy when all saw her being full of talent...DAIKON! DAIKON! FIGHTO!   It's nice to cherish what made you win LOL+Being insulted of a animal is not good, especially during an audition.   Curses fly over to her Rival!+Breaking the phone due to anger was REJECTED during the audition but at least it left an impression to all!   More curses towards Sawara+Kyoko when she was young.   DOES THIS STONE MEAN ANYTHING??? Good luck charm? Something given by someone? I wonder since it shows in the OP.  |

| Oops! I appear to be incapable of following Rules 16 and 17, so I had to have a mod change my sig for me. |
That is a "DaikoN" or a white radish that Kyoko made the (cabbage-like)rose out of, not "daiko". Also, that is not her mom she is talking to, it's actually Fuwa Sho's family. She stayed with them when she was younger and helped out at the Ryokan that they ran. She practiced and learned the daikon rose thing in order to please them. This was a good episode! Nice balance between insanity and seriousness. I love the president's reactions, and I appreciated how the company cafe is now called "Blue Wars" which is another series by this manga author ^_^ |

| awesome screencaps =D if only I can watch the raw...I shall patiently wait for the sub the phone conversation audition is so made of win ♥ Maria's identity will be revealed later on, so just wait for it as for the stone |
| Subs on Youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxDKr-Ze--g *going to watch* |
 |
| Cute episode. I look forward on seeing what happens next. :) |
| HEY! |
| Awsome episode! I loved every single second of it. I so understand what Kyoko felt! Can't wait for the next one! |
 |
| hehe we're seeing tons of hints of stuff that will be more important later! lol but yeah! awesome ep! and yes... I feel so sorry for Kyoko... but it's because of this that she becomes such an amazing person. She's awesome! Heh, we're going to see Kyoko and Sho's 'first meeting' in the next ep! can't wait! |
 |
| Love.. something Kyoko lost.. . D: |
 |
| Now it's going to get even better. "If you could solve problems with 'sorry,' then there would be no need for hell!" Classic. |
| Wahah. Loving the exaggerated facial expressions they're using. Kyoko's malice-mode is great, especially. |
| I'm sooo relieved... They are following the plot nicely, and as long as they do that everything is going to be fine. I forgot why I fell in love with this manga back when I first started it... now I remember... Kyoko is the coolest heroine ever. |

| great episode, I laughed when she was screaming and peeling the Daikon. I can't wait for next weeks episode Also the opening and end are really starting to grow on me. end kinda reminds me of shonen heart from eureka seven |

| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| Great episode. The scene where she had to act with the mobile in her hand was so funny. She is really growing on me. I strongly want to know what will happen to her next. This show is an unexpected juwel, to be honest it has nothing very special and should just be average, but it's the show I am looking most forward to next episode right now. (not counting clannad & ef, which I will watch after they finished airing) |
   |
| episode 3 was great, im really enjoying this.... i think this will be a very good series... 5/5 for episode 3 |

| This is definitely the best shounen series of the season, if not the year. Wait, what do you mean it's not shounen? Even if you say it's not it certainly has enough of the characteristics. Main character aiming to be the best and fuelled by revenge, guts and determination solve everything, and (wo)manly tears. Plus, unlike Soul Eater, it's actually funny. |

About that "(wo)manly tears" you mentioned there are always similar scenes at shoujo series. Its original manga is shoujo too already. I wonder what will happen next ep Sho - Kyoko meeting I really look forward to it >w< |
| I am so extreamly happy that the humor and story is coming out like the manga. It makes me weep for joy :) |
| alas, the usual character development. sorry, but personally i still find this anime pretty cliched, predictable, not original, boring and dull. |

Plus, unlike Soul Eater, it's actually funny. I agree with you to a certain extent, this series seems like a shonen disguised as a shoujo, since Skip Beat has approximately every characteristics of a shonen (and I can't agree more on the fact that Soul Eater is both bad and not funny). The main character especially is an absolute tomboy and the main themes are : courage, passion, guts etc..., everything that make a good "nekketsu". But with a feminine design, a girl as the main heroine and handsome boys everywhere, I guess it has a pretty mixed target in the end, but it's definitely not a common shoujo like Nana or else, nor is it a shonen either. Pretty interesting series isn't it ? |

| "I'm so happy...as if..." that made me crack up! I don't think it was as good as the previous episode and didn't really leave me with a crazy cliffhanger like last time either but it was still above average. |
| So I was looking at www.mahou.org and they're saying SB is 26 eps. I don't think that's true but anyone else read anything about the total number of eps yet? Wrong place to post this I know but don't really want to start a new thread. :3 |
 |
| Oh, that was a rose from a radish. Hahaha. I like the murderous aura. That made me laugh. Annisa said: So I was looking at http://www.mahou.org and they're saying SB is 26 eps.

| It's kinda not my style of anime, but I kinda liked the fact the episode runs, ofcourse I knew that she will be picked in the end (doesn't everybody?). Anyways, I also liked the fact that it makes it's comedic feature without much making it a little lame. :] I want the next episode. >] |
    |
| definitely reminds me of itazura na kiss, so far i'm loving this anime, at first i put this off because of the name and description, but in the end i decided to give it another go and i'm glad i did, im looking forward to the rest of the series |
 |
| Absolutely_steve: this anime screams shoujo XD i dont know how you're thinking it's a shounen. Anyway i'm loving this anime! i'm sorta getting kodocha vibes from it with the whole crazy-idol thing :) |

| I really hope they don't have 26 eps and do what they did to Itazura no Kiss ^^; They missed soooo much. Plus Skip Beat is at well over 100 chapter, with so much happening, but at the same time so little ^^; it will be interesting to see how this pans out :) |
| ...just kidding ZOMG that was amazing! at first i was starting to get disappointed...but then..hahahaha YES |
| I was so hoping she would react to the phone call in exactly the way she did. That's the way I would've done it. I don't like the whole "you lack ..." part of the episode. But the ending was awesome. This anime, in general, has a very strange feel to it. I can't put it into words, but I'll keep trying to figure out how to explain it. |
 |
| Kyoko, ganbatte~ I liked the phone scene. I woulda done the same. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Maria's voice wasn't quite what I was expecting lol. Anyway, I thought there was some good character development there :P |
co_flame said: "I'm so happy...as if..." that made me crack up! Same here, in fact I totally expected that from her. At least she failed in the auditions in a realistic way, I think. XD |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| lolol "As if!" Kyouko's reaction was the best, good on her. She's totally right. "A prelude to destruction and despair! *dinousaurs fighting*" LOL WHAT IS GOING ON IN THAT SCENE. Why dinosaurs? Were they in love? XD Hm, wonder who the little girl is. At first I thought she was the president of LME's daughter but there was nothing that really supported that in the brief scene they were in together. |
| Awesome episode, I'm really starting to enjoy this. :) |
 |
| That phone call part was the best. "If you could solve problems with 'sorry,' then there would be no need for hell!" lol |
 |
| That was actually quite amazing, now that she's actually chosen I really wonder what she'll do from now! That little girl sure was cute and interesting in her own way, I wonder what role she'll have in this whole story! Lets see what happens next! |
 |
| love this episode :D her making Katsura Muki is amazing :) Kanae feels like a typical trying so hard to become a star. still i gotta hand it to her for crying in such a short notice. and lol i love how Kyouko destroyed the phone just for the thought of Shotaro being there XD shame she lost, but it's understandable. i wonder what made her lose love aside from being dumped by Shotaro. it seems there's more to it than that. glad the President is having some second thoughts! and what is that stone for? i wonder who gave it to her? :D she must come back! Kyouko wouldn't give up this easily!!! yay next episode!! |
| Haha she absolutely schooled everyone in acting. Murderous intent -> Happy -> Mad as F* in under 20 seconds lmao. I'm guessing that kid is related to the president and will be Kyouko's friend/fan in the future. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| That sure was a unique skill xD Surprised me a lot. Yep, it's time for for an encore! She need a second chance, just for the sake of putting down that bitch :D It look like the excentric prez and Sawara have fallen for her obscur charm. Hell, I even have fallen for her evil charm. |
