Wow, what an episode, so many emotions. Lots of subtitles and words though.

This series is really good, right? Like that's obvious, right? This is impressive.

Just started watching the anime today so I am a little behind but it was good to see Abiko and Yoriko hash it out. It was good.

theatre is something not to be messed around with and we finally understand why this ting was acting the way she was

Loved the argument Abiko and the other manga artist (i cant remember their name). Was worried but relieved when it was just banter. Wish manga artist could give Abiko a big hug for me. THIS SHIT IS GETTING GOOOOD.
Hopefully Aqua's plan will work.

Great episode, we get to see why Abiko was so furious about the script and I liked the way they showed it through a insult-back and forth while they tried to finish the manga chapter. I'm really interested in Abiko's character and the what happens behind the manga-theater part of the entertainment industry

At first, Abiko was presented as mad but we become sympathetic to her. After all, her mentor's worked was butchered.

With Aqua gaining insight on how plays are run, it looks like we are close to a breakthrough.

Kana faces <3

Also, like others I've been waiting for the Abiko-Yoriko arguing scene to be adapted. They totally nailed it. I almost cried when Abiko-sensei confessed that she hated how bad the Sweet Today adaptation was, it being her favourite manga of all time.

This series has really high production values.

Ruby wants to get busy with work, but can’t because of Arima‘a schedule. Aqua is thoroughly impressed by the stage around theatre. He learns it’s another work of Raida and GOA. Which makes him understand that Abiko wouldn’t be able to pull off a script suitable for this theatre setup. He understands that the problem lies in miscommunication.

Aqua and the other cast meet Kichijouji to help reason with Abiko. But I can understand all her concerns and how she wants to draw a line to not interfere with others’ works.

Kichijouji went to meet Abiko and damn, they started bashing each other with words. Shouting and teasing and dissing, that was funny. In the end, she gave Abiko the ticket Aqua gave, hoping it would change her mind.

Akane and Aqua's date was cute. I like them both. Also, we saw the struggles of a manga artist in this industry on weekly deadlines. I feel bad for all authors sometimes but at the same time, it isn't always the producer's fault either that your show ended up like that. I feel her tho.

This episode was definitely a step up, Akane and Aqua and then the back and forth with the two female mangaka. Ruby meanwhile just annoyed me. Her story has always been less interesting for me than Aqua anyway, doesn't look like will change so far. Of course she has no part of Aqua's little side project so makes sense.

The harsh life of a manga artist especially weekly ones are worse. Nice to see it in anime itself.

Creators are humans too, what a beautiful episode between 2 mangakas duking it out and exposing each other's weakness that came around to accepting their own faults.

Abiko pls 2 hours of sleep per day will kill you eventually

God what a hateful character, I don't know how to relate to others, buu buu, I'm an egomaniac, buu buu, but since I'm a genius I forgive everything, when we've all seen how the industry isn't like that, we've all seen great manga adapted horribly, great mangakas who from the beginning get involved in the project so that everything goes relatively as they want, how many great works have been reduced to commercial whims, but since she is a "I am different, introverted and unique" she misses everything, this had already been presented in Shirobako

This episode gives me Bakuman flashbacks especially with the part about pressuring the mangakas to not end their work. This is pretty much Aka and Mengo's self-inserts ranting about their RL experiences, and I love it.

Excellent ark that never bored me. I did fear at the beginning that the animation couldn’t keep up with season 1, but this certainly had its moments. Can’t wait for the season finale. (Oshi no Ko deserved better than Hidive)

Well, it's understandable that the author is going crazy with this hardcore Oda type schedule where she sleeps 2h max per day for her Jigokuraku rip-off manga LMAO, at least things are getting better in the end, meanwhile Aqua is learning and growing

That episode was so good. Very cute argument that was much needed to finally communicate bottled-in feelings, and to hold each other accountable, or help each other to grow better.

The show has been so good so far with all the grounded and realistic but touching insights and moments.

Seems like we're building up to the author's character development. The scriptwriter might not be kicked off the project after all.

The way they hyped up the Stage Around thing made me thought that I need to experience it at least once in my life. Alas, it's said on Wikipedia that it was closed five months ago.

Abiko and Yoriko sure gave it as good as they got it when it came to that debate over the manga creative process. It's good that she has someone she can see as an equal, who can also take her banter! Aqua was so smart to give Yoriko that ticket to give to Abiko, hopefully this will cause a change in her perspective.

I never heard about 360° theater before, I like it when I learn new stuff

But looking about this "IHI Stage Around Tokyo" I've seen it closed in April 2024 though, it was probably too costly to do, or are they rebranding it ? Are others places doing it like this ?
