| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- RAW came out! Great EPISODE! EPIC TEA CEREMONY FOR A SET! PEOPLE will like this! WANT MORE! KYOKO GO! |
| Oops! I appear to be incapable of following Rules 16 and 17, so I had to have a mod change my sig for me. |
| I watched the subbed version and loved the epi. She really looked lovely in that kimono and yeh I loved the kimono! The story is getting better and better. Ren knows that if she gets revenge on Shou, she is going to lose her motivation..well, thats what he thinks. Anyway, can't wait for the next epi! |
| It's not whether you win or lose, it's whether I win :P |
| xD No screenshots, today? angel999? anyways, I like the fact that he gave kyoko -10 points. he was jealous because kyoko was still thinking of sho. xDD I hoped for the next episode more. |
    |
Ryuukishi said: he was jealous because kyoko was still thinking of sho. xDD He really was? Maybe I didn't get it, because I didn't read the Manga that "far"... If I just see the majority of the faces Kyoko makes in this episode, I have to lmao instantly xD But I doesn't inferior to episode 6 xDDD |
| Wow she likes her make up a little too much it was funny how much she complained about getting it removed. It was good Ren took 10 points from her though because her motivation is pretty bad if youre lookin to be an 'idol' like she is... Yay for having her fracture get worse from doing that as well if it didn't that've just been miserable on so many different levels. Also its good that they made little miss albino mature some in this episode though given that was a known fact to happen. Director = awesome though yes use injured people more more! Manipulation is a great thing |
| Funny episode, I even bought Ruriko's transition to liking Kyoko. Ren still had to be an asshole though. All that stuff in the first half of the episode concerning Ren's aura and what not is such a stupid, shounen way of trying to make acting interesting television. It didn't make a bit of sense. I was actually confused for a couple of minutes at the explaination. |
| This series just keeps getting better. Although this episode were short on GAR-moments, I fully enjoyed it. I really love the main characters resolution: That she never loses herself, that she keeps thinking truthfully (and not one-sided, like a lot of other main characters in anime) and that she keep neglecting the paths that'll reduce her to pathetic. Also, nice twists. That she wouldn't win wasn't fully obvious, even if somewhat a possibility, but having Ren steering the acting like that wasn't really something I expected. Also, the way Kyoko lost really got me. Overall, the interacting between characters, the realistic atmosphere mixed together with the absurd and metaphoric comedy (and GAR-moments) and the rate Kyoko evolves her mental strength in; it all adds up to a really promising foreshadowing!! And exactly who doesn't long till the moment where Shotaro gets demolished? |
| Fabulous episode as always, funny, epic, with a good script and above all extremely entertaining. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I liked that the director was using a Mac. Yes, indeed this episode was epic. Or at least as epic as an episode about acting can get. |

| Great episode again. I was right in my comment last episode. It turned out exactly the way I thought it would, rather obvious I know. It was really too early for her and the Director just used her (though I don't hate him for that, he is a great guy); it was a good lesson for her and gave her new strength and confidence. Her different facial emotions and the chibi scenes are simply the best and Ren is also a very interesting character. Ryuukishi said: anyways, I like the fact that ren gave kyoko -10 points. he was jealous because kyoko was still thinking of sho. xD That's not the reason. XD I really doubt he has any serious feelings for her in this early stage. It's rather that for him serious acting is his life and he takes pride in this but a reason like "taking revenge" on somebody is a serious crime and a disgrace for all actors in his eyes. I bet Kyoko's motivation will change over the course of the show. Anyway. I love this and I can only hardly wait for next episode like every week. ^^ |
   |
| Now i'm really starting to like this show ^^ And i must say, Ren is sooooo hot XD |
   |
| D: I didn't notice b/c Ruriko always sounded so stuck up, but the flash back sounds just like Nodame..same voice actress D: I hope this episode converted some people who are unsure of how the story is going to turn out. =D I really love this arc. =3 |
Forever said: I bet Kyoko's motivation will change over the course of the show. You're right, but actually, I think her motivation is already starting to change. If I remember correctly, she had thoughts somewhere in this episode that she wanted to one day be on the same level as Ren. I can't remember the exact wording but Kyoko is definitely starting to look up to Ren and acting for the sake of interest instead of Sho. She has new found respect for the industry now I'm sure. The -10 was very appropriate, haha. Next arc, Maria and Moko, yahoo! |
 |
| omg, next episode is going to be epically funny! |

desbmt said: ahhh~ if only humans can make such expressions of kyouko! life would be so much more fun! If that were to happen, evil spirits would be flying arnd everywhere @_@ Kyouko really loves her makeup, and Ren knows just what to handle her XDD |
| Dedication at it's best, but seriously poor Kyoko end scene = D: it's okay maybe next time xD |
| It was great to see Ruriko smarten up and be nice to Kyoko in the end =) |
   |
| Ureshii & Yoroshiku has subs out for this but no post on it yet. Go grab the torrent @ Baka-Updates if you're archiving the releases. =) |
|
| I really, really, really like this episode it was SO good. I like Ruri a lot better now and roflmao at Ren giving Kyoko -10 points. :] |
| HEY! |
| I loved the battle between Ren and Kyoko. While not as intense as the manga, it was still adapted and managed quite well. |
 |
how long will it take kyoko to realise that ren just doesnt like her motives? By the way i cnt believe she pushed herself that far!!! amamzing i must say... |

| Yay she acted so well :) |

| At first, it was very strange to watch them acting together, because I wasn't sure if what she was doing was right or not. This anime has improved since the first episode. Tremendously. I really, really like Ren. And I love how this episode ended. |
 |
| Poor Kyoko, having to take her make up off. She never fails to make me laugh. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Another good episode. Another off side comment, I thought Yashiro's hair would be lighter. From the manga I assumed he'd be blond lol |
| Wait now it's a real bone fracture? I thought it was just a sprain... oh well whatever. I was so surprised and happy for her acting so well from the start the director said "Action!" I'm still wondering when she would dye her hair back to it's natural color since she looked good on the kimono with her black hair. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| A+ effort Kyouko. She looks really good with long brown hair, too, much better than the short orange hair. Interesting that she's so overwhelmed by Ren's acting though, methinks it will be an uphill battle to try and stand next to him. |
| -10 points for Kyouko. :) |

| Kyouko acting was really awesome. To bad she was just a decoy. |
 |
| That was pretty epic, some awesome acting skills right there, and lol that ending xD |
 |
| wow what a scene!! that ankle hurt like hell for Kyouko T__T she instantly became a pro as soon as the scene started. it seems her past work is being useful and coming in handy :) Ren is too aggressive on his co-star if he took it seriously. wow Kyouko suddenly lose unconscious :( so Ruriko remembers on how she's also like Kyouko, trying hard to the fullest. woo 100 points from her!! never would have imagine she would have a change of heart!! damn the director set this up in order for Ruriko to change her ways, yet they also saw a potential for Kyouko ^^ i think what Kyouko said in the end, she didn't want to act for the sake of others nor a goal for them. she wants to be a pro in her own way, ability to act without relying on Ren or others. i hope Kyouko will succeed!! aww she no longer has her make up :( wtf Ren putting a -10 point on her. guess he really doesn't like her motive on becoming an actress :P can't wait for more!! |
| I love how Kyouko's so animated (no pun intended). She's probably the most expressive female MC I've seen. |

| Man, it must suck to have your entire life be "designed" in order to suit a guy that you hate. And yeah, Kyouko really is one of the most expressive female main characters, kinda reminds me of Nodame. |
| Kyoko was able to change Hime-chan, even if it wasn't her true goal xD She looked so great in that kimono. It's scary how makeup artist and costumes can totally transform someone. Now she's back to that ugly pink jumpsuit x) Kinda sad when she realised again that everything she did was for the boy she once loved but now hate. It was totally hilarious when Ren give her that 10 points penalty :P |

| Did it suddenly become a shounen fighting series? |
| That was badass acting. Yeah. I don't think I've ever seen this in an anime before, nor have I ever thought of putting those two words together before, but that was badass acting. The last time I thought of this was for The iDOLM@STER to describe a particularly badass performance. That's quite the level Skip Beat managed to ascend to in just 7 episodes. This anime's pretty smart really. The sprain was played for laughs throughout all of the previous episode and even halfway through this episode. Because of this, once the injury was finally ready to be taken seriously, it's all the more potent of a scene. The dramatic scenes of this anime are far and in between, and the even scenes that should have been dramatic were treated comically. This is made even harder by how much GUTS Kyoko has, making it uncertain as to what she's really feeling. Because of this, it's even harder to tell when the anime is about ready to go serious mode, making this show unpredictable in the most roundabout of ways. Goodness gracious. Oh, and also, the nice thing about this anime is the female lead explicitly and outright hating both the apparent male leads. It's not a halfhearted kinda like/kinda hate, or even an on-and-off again type of thing. It's just straight up hatred. I don't know if this'll turn out to be a proper romance or not, but for now, it's quite the enjoyable ride of certain destruction. As a comedy of course. |
| I am officially in love with this show with this episode, if I hadn't already love it. I love the interaction between Ren and Kyouko (and also Ren's manager, Yashiro). Kyouko was awesome, it's nice that she has found a new motivation and it's even better that Ren is the reason of it. |

| That very confused face with her mouth open.. is cute xD Awwww, she just want to keep her make-up for a little bit longer! Just let her! Poor girl, she got another -10 :( Well she have 90 points at least |
