THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
How can this series be so good? The ending scene was fantastic (even if I usually don't like cliffhangers, I can easily overlook that in Skip Beat) after all those great developments, and the direction is still on top of approximately anything released lately. Great balance of funny and dramatic moments too. I surprised myself by clapping my hands at the end of the episode, it was just perfect overall.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Wonderful wrap up of this arc. Things went exactly as I expected, and for once, that's not a bad thing. What was a bit weird, yet understandable is that the direction was such that this show was really just a series of pictures. Sometimes I wanted more movement within shots, but most of the time, I was marveling at the weight each shot carried. I especially loved the anticipation right before Kyoko brought her hands from her face after she choked Sho.

Geez. This show really is brilliant, and depending on the ending may prove to be better than Nodame.

omg I loved this episode!! Soooooo funny! I loved but hated the ending. Sho doesn't even have the right to even start thinking about Kyoko in a positive way!!! Really, he shouldn't even dare after mistreating her so bad.


I love this <3

Awesome, though it's too bad Skip Beat only has 6 more episodes left, I'm hoping for a second season or some sort of Special/OVA.
Depending how everything get's wrapped up at the end, this will most likely end up in my top 5 animes.

This role only for someone who have spent every waking hour wishing to do it. So you should have started doing the wishing now.

sakumi-chan, I will kill him for you. He really really needs to die! He annoys me so much! One of my friends always gets scared when I watched or read Skip Beat because I go into "SHO MUST DIE!!!!!" Rants.

I just loved the way that Ren smiled when he heard Kyoko's message.


SHO MUST DIE NAOOOO!!!!!!

you are exactly describing what it feels to read a good manga. I hope now you understand why some people love reading manga more than watching anime.

It just proves that still pictures can weight more than animated ones.

And *scream from excitement* next episode's title is "invitation of the MOON". The next story arc is going to be as awesome....

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

There is a very high chance for a second season but it won't be anytime soon. That's why everyone should buy the DVD to support SB! =D

Kyoko-chin FTW! Ren-sama LOVE! Moko-san FTW! Sho BOO! Yashiro YAY!



I'm so freaking happy to see more Ren next week. YATTAAAAAAA!

This episode also didn't disappoint in any way. It was absolutely great and when I think about it, Skip Beat! may be the show I am looking forward to most week after week.

Lots of great developments and awesome facial expressions with deep meaning. Next episode looks interesting, too. Seems like Ren is very very jealous and mad.

"Mokooo-saaan~ !!!" XD

Kyoko's VA is really awesome expressing everything.

I like Sho XD Cause if there was no Sho, who would take care of a proper love triangle :D He just perfectly caught the moment by taking the phone, I loved it, was looking forward to this part the most right after the falling scene XD And I find it great, that he already fell in love with her, but she is not available now, and I just can't wait to see the next part, even though I read the manga :))) I hope, that they won't force it to end in 6 eps, cause there is no way the whole manga, that is out by now, could fit in there... there are already 22 volumes out, and anime is currently by the 8th.

YES! THIS ARC IS LOVE!
one of my favourite arcs and i'm glad it was so well done.
and yes ren's glare in the preview was perfect!

but kay... what are they going to do... cuz this is supposed to have 25 eps and that will probably only get through the next Moko arc and not reach Dark Moon! unless... are they gonna shorten the Moko arc and get into a bit of Dark Moon and leave it as a cliffhanger? gah... why does this only have 25 episodes? there BETTER be a second season.

I love how this episode started! Kyoko's Sho impersonation with the wig totally cracked me up!



*edited: And, you know, despite all the Sho hating out there, I can't say I really dislike him. Sure he's a spoiled jerk at times (or maybe even most of the time), but I think underneath all of the persona he puts on, he really could be a nice guy. haha, he sort of reminds me of my brother.
