THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Oh funny episode.

Is it just me or is Ichigo a bit more nervous than usual?


But really, this was Ichigo's spotlight episode imo featuring a lot of her. I wonder if the remainder of the show will give each of the other girls more individual spotlights. The song sung this episode was kinda catchy I guess.

This is a fun anime but it seems that because it doesn't have explosions, every next episode discussion is getting less and less notice.

Sadly this isn't a type of show that gets a lot of attention or notice , it's like a hidden gem imo

5 episodes in and it's still boring as fuck. I was hoping that this would develop somewhat close to Shirobako, or at least fun working SoL like Servant x Service but... nope, just cute girls doing cute things.

Agreed, each week this show continues to surprise me. I really wasnn't expecting it to be this charming, Ichigo especially this week! :D

Haha, Ichigo calling Yui, Hoi Yurie and how derpy she was xD

What a fun episode, it was really interesting to see the behind the scenes and preparations for that event, I didn't even mind Ichigo's struggles throughout, it was more realistic anyways.

Looks like they're gonna start making their songs next episode, can't wait for that!

Ichigo's flashback of leaving her dad and erasing her original text to write a new one was the best part. Pretty bittersweet..

That moment when Hoi Yurie turns into Yui Horie. *o*


Looking forward the Earphone's debut song. First major step to get that 1 million views.

Ichigo was so nervous in this episode. Short flashback before she left her Father was good.

Hope to see more of them as a group next episode.

Hocchan キタ―――(゚∀゚)―――― !! As expected. It's funny how they showed her less glamorous side. I guess even seiyuu idols are like that sometimes. I'm not into VNs much so even if the song was from this year I probably wouldn't recognize it but I guess it was a smart pick as it featured Hoi Yurie in a game.

I was half expecting Miss Monochrome, though, seeing as how she just crashed a show last week. That would be funny if she appeared as well as Horie Yui.

It's a fun show. I'm not the biggest fan of Ichigo, but she had a lot of courage and it was nice to see her get through a struggle. Will the water get shut off next, though? Also I wonder if that letter was from her dad. w

If anyone's still watching this show and is bored by it then they should probably just move on. Like it or not, this show features another perspective on the anime/seiyuu industry like Shirobako did. If it's still not doing it for you then it's probably just because you dislike something fundamental about it, not because it's not doing its job properly. It's fun and seems informative just as it seemed from the get-go.

Except it's not just "cute girls doing cute things" unless you think rehearsing for Live events is all that...and funny you mention Servant x Service since they spend more time fucking around in their jobs than this show.

Anyways, Yui Horie being a disheveled mess off cam is quite the surprise. I know a few celebrities tend to be slobs when not on stage, but I'd never peg her as one.

This should also be a treat to Tales of fans with how they even went so far as to do a Standard Opening to Kuroneko of Eternia.

And Sister Princess? Wow, I'm shocked people still remember that anime. Wasn't the best, but it's under my guilty pleasure.

Wait a minute, first they cut her electricity, then the gas and at the end of the episode Ringo still does not have a job or arbaito to pay for the bare necessities. I wonder if next episode they will re-use the scene where she opens her department door only to find that her key no longer opens it? :(

Oooohh! So this week, it's Hoi Yurie, err.....I meant, Yui Horie! xDD Nice! One of my favorite VAs makes an appearance in this anime. ^^ Funny that she has a carefree attitude with disheveled hair as she appeared off cam here.

It was Ichigo's first time on stage and it's understandable that she's completely nervous. Well, maybe the next time she steps on stage, she'll have more confidence in herself and probably the three of them as Earphones will be performing together. Music video recording next? Sounds like it's gonna be fun! :D

Well, as long as she still has running water and a roof over her head, she might still weather it out till she gets more income from her jobs.

I do wonder where that fan letter came from. 50/50 it's either her dotting dad or some random fan that ended up liking her.

Man I love this show so much that I even learn more on not just the seiyuu industry but also on the road to be a successful person in life.I mean just reading the lyrics of the parody song just makes me motivated to do things that I can't even do.Man, why is this show so underrated, it really deserves more credit.

I just checked, and earphones-official.com from the beginning of the episode is an actual website for the show. Unfortunately it uses an entirely different logo.

The one person I'm hoping with show up at some point is Norio Wakamoto. That would be glorious.

I love Horie Yui's unexpected personality. It would be awesome if she was actually like that in real life.

This episode made me enjoy Ichigo more, and I can kind of see why she had more of a Japanese taste before switching to her strawberry persona.

Great episode, it made me reminisce about past seiyuu events/concerts I've watched and wondered how they must have felt back then.

So we had Horie Yui this weeks makes me wonder who we will see next week.
Seems Ichigo has some trouble going on in her life, living without power must be hard on her.
And i can understand why her ex boss let her go seeing she wasn't around much and she didn't show much motivation either.
She was also very secretive about her seiyuu job while Futaba was very honest and upfront about it so in Futaba's case her employer knows what to expect.

It looks like Ichigo came from a single parent household this explains some of her fathers behaviour.

Horie Yui just made this episode insta-10/10.
Ichigo is in a real tight spot. I'm wondering if it would be possible for her to shack up with Futaba somehow. But despite all the bad stuff, she does get some good news in the part in the game. Encouragement from THE Horie Yui goes a long way, and watching her backstage also proved inspirational (though seriously.... she let chocolate melt in her purse XD).

Next up they'll be getting their debut song. Here's hoping they get positive reviews, and their stock rises fast enough to put food on the table.

I can't believe it's been well over a decade since Sister Princess, brings back a ton of memories (specially since there weren't a plethora of anime titles being broadcast on the weekly like they are nowadays). One of the last 90's-esque animated shows from the early 2000's, right before the animation went through a distinct revolution of sorts.

Aitai ai ai ai ai no ni!-Ayenai ai ai ai konya wa! Really a positive surprise to get the sister princess OP. SisPri may not be a good show, but it's very charming and relaxing in its own way and i just love this opening song. This show always finds some weird and unexpected way to make me happy.


Also, Yurie Hoi is top tier Waifu material.

Funny episode with Ichigo in the focus. Liked the little flashback with her father. And I hope she´s going to get a new part-time job so she can pay her bills. I felt bad for her after electricity and gas got shut down. She´s so cute when she gets nervous, btw.

Earphone´s debut CD next week~
Holy Madoka! The Yuri is strong here!
