Make Heroine ga Oosugiru! Episode 11 Discussion

You know shits getting serious when they replace the OP with a montage of some beautiful scenery with the gang. Nah but seriously, it makes sense, given how they wanted to finish off volume three this episode, aka the end of Komari's arc. Her biggest hurdle yet ofc, being her getting jumped by sheep's lol. Meanwhile, we got Yanami over here coping with herself that "the more calories the better the diet!"... I'm pretty sure that's NOT how it works LOL.

Nah, but actually, Komari's biggest hurdle so far isn't the sheep's, it's this script and trying to perfect it. I get her. She's someone with social anxiety, and her anxiety is at the max right now due to the all the pressure and the big expectations for her that Koto left. Makes sense why she'd want to quit, or maybe she just didn't want to even become the president from the first place, as she said. When your pressured into it like she was, and with her social anxiety, she can't really say it upfront at the time.

Yanami over here meanwhile STAYS eating bruh, MY FUCK. At least she's lost 2 kilos... at least. I bet she gained them shits RIGHT back when she snatched up that cake that meant to be for Komari from Nuku.

But yeah, the minute I saw that Komari had resorted to the good ol' writing the speech on the hand method I just knew she was the most relatable. To make matters worse, she not only made the bottle cap go across the table, BUT SHE EVEN DID THE CLASSIC DROPPING PAPERS THING... I felt for her HARD in that scene. It's as Nuku says, when someone like her that has major anxiety, it's hard to forget that moment. She'll be thinking about it constantly, while the others there will forget it after the meeting is over.

'I'm not good when it comes to people, so I have no friends.' Damn. If only she knew that she had people around her at all times that care about her, love her, and cherish her. Nuku being one of the biggest ones. And in normal Komari fashion, her dumbass was typing that in the FUCKING GC LOLOLOLOL. Felt so bad for her this episode, but in the end, Komari figured out that there was people that care about her. Three of them in fact. Her fellow losing heroines, that is. And Nuku finally tasking responsibility for this whole ordeal this episode in the end as well.

Didn't think an arc could get better than Lemon's, but here we are. Easily the best of the three losing heroine arcs, NO DOUBT.

Am sad to see that the finale will be a filler, but I hope it's good filler that transitions into season two, and not filler that just ends the show right then and there.

P.S. AHHHH KOMARI'S SMILING IN THE ED NOW!!!!!!!

This shit is too good did anyone else spot the small change in the ed visuals?

Komari-chan has me at this point pissed me off quite a bit, I felt the story and her resolution of the festival and quite liked it, but now we have to deal with another issue that involves her character that seemingly hasn't managed to grow AT ALL. Went straight back to who she was before the festival, thereby I deem her a SHIT character who is just pissing me off by now. It soured the entire episode just seeing the first 3min of her bitching again.

I wonder if the last episode will manage to salvage the ending. After a decent season the last two episodes were pretty bad. The previous one had the worst pacing in the whole season and this one made me annoyed with every single main character. With MC for being so whishy-washy and not speaking up straight even once, Yanagi for eating sweets while knowing they were for someone else, T&F girl for choking MC for no reason and of course with Komari for wasting everyone's time at the meeting, throwing a fit in front of everyone and working on her stage fright just a couple days before the meeting while moaning about doing everything herself, when her responsibility as a president is to have the club running and making use of other members if necessary. This episode was awfully and overly melodramatic.

I miss Yanagi's coping with failed relationship. Komari's arc turned out to be the worst part of the show.

Shikiya was glaring at Nukumizu like financiers were the worst reconciliation gift idea she's ever heard lmao


I'd die probably inside if I posted my heart out in a group chat when I didn't mean to but I'm glad it ended with everything getting resolved nicely.

So I thought I rated this 8/10, but I actually haven't rated yet. I'll give 9/10 expecting next episode to be a really good anime original, and not one that worsens the show.

Wow, no opening? How will I ever know who the studio is now?!
Kidding, not having the opening was absolutely the right decision for this episode.

Early into episode I felt that both logically Komori should delegate (I share her illogical feelings) and felt like she was being a little mean to Nukumizu (in a friendly way, but felt mean)

Then Nuku... yes... logically... he is technically right... but it felt so damn harsh and I would also probably react like that if I was Komori. Is it the right reaction.. no.. but...

Then the meeting. The only real solution that the people there could have done, was offer someone else to read it, but that defeats the purpose of the whole situation and also would have been bad. Nukumizu's mind/heart is in the right place, he doesn't want this moment to scar her. He made a major decision, that was logically the right move, but in the short-term was a lethal attack to Komori.

Lastly... their interaction... <3 :')
Her belief she will now be alone is irrational, she had friends. Nukumizu realizes she's a normal girl (not the same intentionally background character he is that tries to be alone, well not to same degree I'd say, and she DOESN'T want to be alone) and makes clear he really likes her writing and will be with her always.
Going on the start of the series, he has an accurate but pessimistic look on high school relationships. He learns that yes it can be sad, but the forming and breaking of relationships doesn't have to be a bad thing.

5/5 the anime ending this way was <3, maybe I was thinking of a different anime, but before watching I thought I saw comment saying this becomes a harem. I am extremely happy that does not appear to be the case and they all seem to be really damn good friends <3 (little sister got the "women's intuition" LOL)

I dunno about this episode, man, I think it's a miss. Ever since the beach episode I feel like the show shifted and became about Komari, with other characters sprinkled in. (from what other replies I read in these forums, I think it has to do with the source material, and not opening new plot lines because they wouldn't had time to properly flesh them out, so they concentrated on what's already available and had time for, Komari's arc)

I feel like there's a limit to how much you can push a friend. I would 100% agree with anybody that what Nukumizu did at the zoo is extremely realistic. Hell, I pissed off a loved one cause I said something stupid and invalidated their entire effort too! The road to hell is paved with good intentions yada yada yada.

But to go, unnanounced, into a meeting and overstep whatever authority your friend has, is a step too far in my opinion. I would never dream of doing that to any of my friends and I would be extremely put off if any of my friends did that, especially after learning that it's something personal that I have to overcome.

It's less about showing support and more about thinking you're in the right, and that reads extremely out of character for Nukumizu. I didn't think that was something he would ever do.

When they showed them outside the meeting I thought he would do something silly to alleviate Komari's tension or something, but that's not what happened, I'm getting pissed off just thinking about it now. In my opinion, Nukumizu should have faced way more consequences.

I don't know, my opinion.
