I demand a new season in June!!

It's pretty clear that they'll wrap it up by having Ren conquer this role while falling in love with Kyoko. I don't know what the ending will be exactly (finishing filming or what), but that's going to be the end.

Love Bo as always, but this episode was a little slow for me.
Can't wait for next week!

AMAAZING EPISODE!!! I so much adore its hilarious moments!! And everything runs SO smoothly and streamlined to my fave manga.. oh my!!! I just can't wait for more as the most favourite part's coming... and I can't believe we'll have at least a season break right in the middle of it... Why.. OH WHY do they have to stop at ep25..

I doubt they'll pack so much important and mind-blowing stuff in a single episode.. no, really, I better vote for a season break than the Toradora's messing-things-up-in-20-minutes-due-to-extreme-rushing approach.. cause there're at least 7 chapters full of ... no way am I able to describe it in words!! and todays' eppie covered just as many as 2-3 chapters.. so... let's just see.. but I'll pray they don't increase the pacing!!

Agreed, the episode was a touch slow. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the director's crying scenes. Ridiculously over-the-top, but quite funny. At any rate, it's kind of pathetic to have Ren just now notice what his manager, likely the president, and we've all known for so long. I guess you really are the last to know sometimes... Alas, it's most certainly how this'll all wrap up, just gotta hope they leave it open for another season. The previews made me sad with "FINAL STAGE" :(

I'm seconding the demanding for a second season. If not June, there better be one for the Fall Season!

Please, Mr Tokyo Anime Fair, bring us a new season of Skip Beat, now ! It can't end in the next episode and there's still so much to be said and done, please, please (oh I think I'm turning into a fanboy now...)!

This was once again a great episode, mostly thanks to Kyouko/Bo, and next one will probably be Ren finally realizing his feelings for Kyouko and gaining back confidence in acting. It just can't stop like this, we (at least I) need more.

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

kay wait... where the hell is this going? there's no way they can fit the practice and the real scene in one ep! how are they gonna end this? are they gonna cut out tons of RenxKyoko? WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY PLANNING TO DO? we just finished chapter 64 and the real scene doesn't end until chapter 76 or 78 if you count the aftermath. there's no way they can fit more than 4 chapters in an ep and this is like 12! where are they cutting this off? i doubt it will be in a nice place...
are we looking at a cliffhanger?
seriously, this BETTER have a second season.

I bet you it will end at the "practice," and I bet you could guess which part ;)

LMAO, so freggin hilarious when Ren thinks he has felt the "seeds of love." Kyoko's lil fairies flying around throwing confetti, "Congratulations! Congratulations!" Lmao! It's good he never told any male friends because they would probably make fun of him so bad for it.

There's got to be a second season. They can't possible smoosh all the stuff they need to tie up in one episode!
And I think they should develop the whole Kyoko/Shou thing, because he definitely shows he has feelings for her, and then what? They just end the show without Kyoko knowing? That doesn't make sense that they'd develop Shou's feelings like that just to rush it all in one episode.

SECOND SEASON NAO KTHX

RenBo scenes are always awesome. The director and president, viper vs frog scene was pretty funny too. =)

@ TwilightShiva. I just looked through the manga. If Hal is going at the style they are now, basically sticking to the manga 99.5%, then I would say they'll end it with the end of chapter 68. So I doubt we'll even get the "practice" until our currently imaginary second season, at least the "Last Stage" preview made me think so too. My hopes are crushed. =(

Yeaaa this was a little slow for me too, because I'm just dreading to see how they are going to wrap things up in the next episode.

I wanna see the practice scene so badly :( and I definitely want to see the location filming too....

PLEAAAASE let there be a second season TT___TT!!

Other than the main worry of whether or not there's going to be another season, I enjoyed Shou's imagination scene, Ren being all blushy innocent and the revelation of him liking Kyoko! :O

*sits and waits for last episode..hoping to see the practice scene*

this is literally in the direct center of where the manga is right now...... why is there no talk of a new season? the only reason i cant think of is that the manga isnt far enough yet... but i could see them pull out 25 episodes from what they have so far, with like 1 or 2 fillers.

this story gets 1000x better, they better not stop it now. plus its supposed to be about kyoko's success, not ren understanding love. Horrible place to stop it.

I am 100% certain that there will be a second season. I mean, romantic comedies about show biz are not my thing and despite thks, I feel this is the best show currently airing. Hell, I say this even though Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou is airing right now and that is my preferred genre.

Hell, so long as they don't do something utterly stupid with the ending I'm going to give this season 10/10.

I think this episode did go by a little slowly, but only in the context that the series is 25 episodes long. Pacing was GOOD. Very good although I do wonder how on earth they're possibly going to finish the series (or... season? :D ) in only 1 more episode. Hopefully it's not some massive **** up because I really do love this series. It'd be silly not to have a second season.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
that's such a horrible spot to cut it off at! My hopes were crushed a while ago, knowing that the end was so near already, but imagining where they're gonna cut this off is really making me sad and scared.

please have a second season...
but wait. if they leave it at a cliffhanger, then they'll definitely have a second season, no? hmm... so do we want a cliffhanger...?

Don't know why so many are complaining about the episode being a little slow. I'm happy they didn't rush things, or else there really would have been complaints. Now that I know where they are going to end the first season, I can say that the second season is gonna be something worth watching.

About time they kept true to Lory's over-the-top entourage.

And when you say "practice" I'm assuming Ren and Kyoko practice his role right ;)? I haven't even read the chapter but I can see something like that happening since he would obviously want to build his character on those feelings he has when around Kyoko. What better way then to practice with her.

I really hope they make a second season. Theres no way they can end it like this.

Wow! And thats just putting it in simpler terms for this episode and the series period. I mean it will be one of the biggest cliffs in the world if a second season doesnt start up soon and i mean soon. I am simply in love with this series and makes me yearn for more every time one episode ends and another begins. Its so pure and fresh and girls and even guys can relate to at least one of the characters. Its a great anime and different from other Romantic Comedies. It would be a real shame if the creators are unable to continue it.

lol, way to predict the greatest scene of all time. (I'm exaggerating, I know.) The best thing about their "practice" though is that it's very heart-skip-beating-ish. :3 I would like to see it animated. If Ren blushing animated became so mightily powerful to the fangirls, I don't know how this "practice" scene is going to pass over. And you're right, no one better to "practice" love than with someone you really do love, ironic eh. :)

Oh, the eagerness. XD But honestly, I don't think there's enough material yet for a third season, haha. There are currently 137 chapters and the anime is around 64. There is definitely enough for a second season though and once the second season rolls around, there will be enough for a third. We have a long way to go friends. :\
