great episode, as usual! important message: focus on the goal at hand, and hopefully someday, reach yr. dream - wise thoughts, but oh so hard to follow... beautiful how hataraki man has such realistic interpersonal relationships - so true-to-life....

This is a very melancholy episode about disappointment...the optimistic ending seems kind of tacked on and overbearing to boot. Maybe they just didn't want to bum out the audience.

The previous episode managed a more genuine up-note to end a somewhat gloomy story.

I didn't think the ending was tacked on and overbearing.

Hah! Loved the ending with the notes. It's a common and almost a cliche of a trope in conventional anime, but I liked how it was that throwaway remark in the beginning of the episode, then becomes something important at the end. Note that Hiroko Matsukata's work also doesn't directly relate to her dream. She, too, had to delegate projects she preferred to work on for this author's one.

A bit boring but I like the episode.
All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath.

I can understand Mayu's feeling, but isn't as editor it'll cloud your judgement if you're a fan of what you're assigned to?

I'd read that "54" a story about old man who fell in love with beautiful Korean girl xD

Growing story is always a nice and niche at same time because people don't want to talk about this :P

I seriously love this episode because I can relate a little lol. I like how this anime can touch the topics about work, life, love of an adult. Mayu does really need to learn more a lot of things but it doesn't mean that she feels was wrong. Hiro on the other hand, is very good at work that she can pull out the potential of sensei.

PS: Does anyone knows the insert song that played while Mayu is walking alone?
