I find Machi's role this episode really silly in front of that camera with the filming. Actually, I think the whole directing is silly. That singing though LOL

Lmao, nice Kurosawa reference. Usui was so serious.




A lot of this show seems to fall back on what Machi is wearing.

Not a bad episode.

Whoa, a sick director. But he's surely passionate about becoming one.
And that idea of Hibiki... It's totally worth it. Even when the result become like that, it seems that the villager except old man Usuican take it. LOL

hibiki you're such a bitch in this episode (well I guess only in the beginning) also what the hell is up with the script I couldn't understand what any of those drawings met. That director is funny especially when it came to choosing extras (I need more of this guy) Hibiki he just wanted you, mom he was impressed with your ability to act totally like a potato (that's was the funniest line I ever read), and shota. Yoshio you bastard you ruined a good commercial to the point where the director almost died (pretty sure he did).


on a little side note I really thought don't know why but when yoshio went to talk to tha old woman about sponsoring the video I thought her one condition would be that yoshio well you know "insert dirty thought here" again don't know why but it would have been funny to me.

Lololol,.. Yoshio has some serious corporate-backed dicatatorial ambitions. He's basically the Kumade bumpkin version of Hillary Clinton (>.<)

Hiiki saw right through him, knowing he was merely abusing the meeting to push the commercial idea from the beginning. Yet, she still likes him. That's one scary lady.

Don't get the choice for the onsen though. I thought the whole point was to show Machi in her Miko outfit.

Yoshio's lack of conscience at making a proposal without thinking things through and willingness to go behind everyone's back really irks me. Had Hibiki not suggested the old clocks and watch lady, he'd have been seriously fucked with no money for the commercial. But even that doesn't mean he can go behind the villagers backs and throw in the "sponsor" stuff without consulting everyone else first.

He got hella lucky that most of the villagers were so chill about it, but now he's pretty much hospitalized the old man again... and I doubt he'd even feel guilty if the guy died of shock either.

Characters like Yoshio piss me off so much. It's a damn shame Machi is such a chill kuma... there've already been at least three instances this series where he'd have been justified to bite Yoshio's head off.

Poor Machi always gets trolled by those around her. That commercial jingle was pretty cute though. Too bad sponsorship issues tainted it, but money makes the world go round! XD

Sponsor placement in this commercial reflected the real world situation. They really fuck up people's hardwork.

Usui reacting to the final commercial was great. But the village people seem to be nonetheless happy to be featured in the ad.

Lol the shooting was so silly, especially Machi's part. The start and cut moments were best. I hoped auditions were given more time.

Overall this was funny in some parts but the quality of the show is maintained good.

Everyone hating on Yoshio. Admittedly he's a real piece of shit, but it's hilarious how his various schemes tend to work out in the end, though typically not as he intended.

The Kurosawa references were hilarious and that story board!!!

That commercial would have actually been good if it hadn't change into an advertisement for the old lady's watches and glasses. I'm torn between wanting the commercial to succeed and wanting it to flop. xD

And that moment Hibiki knew, she fu*** up xD
Can we even rate the commercial? 10/10? (without glasses & watches advertisement).
It was a pretty funny episode but i feel bad for Machi, they are using her too much.
It started so great, they should focus in other things, like at the beginning where Machi was learning how to survive inside a big city etc.
Still i am enjoying this anime.
Kumaaaaaaaaa Mikooooooooooooooo xD

That face xD The face of happiness :D His reactions were pretty funny.

The mom was seriously a dang good potato. Old Man Director somehow became one of my favorite characters this episode. I saw the ending coming a mile away though.

The version for the commercial before the watches and clocks were put in was nice. Episode was more enjoyable then the previous to me as well.

Oh! An episode in which no use mistreat Machi to make fun narration and slide it without too much trouble, although I would have preferred something more, but already a change of similar route, is more than enough. Drawings in a bit down, great scenery, the best part is the second, with the old Usui become a director, a lot of fun ! X°°D
