I'm not a big fan of the new character tbh.

The photoshoot was kinda cute I guess. Super Sonico in those glasses <3. Uh, wasn't as good as last episode. Heh, next episode looks like it will be at the pool. Get those cameras ready.

What the fuck! Why didn't Sonico's bathroom have a clawfoot tub. This goes against the lore that was established through official artwork, I'm disappointed.

I like the new character. Sonico seems too perfect so I never liked her. This was okay considering I don't expect much.

Anyone catch the cameo of the Sega Saturn? Of course me being a gamer I would spot that.
But still it was another pretty bland episode. It wasn't even about Sonico. Absolutely nothing happened. WTH?! I'd rather see a show about Sayaka getting inspiration for a novel than another useless episode like this. But I keep coming back to it week after week.
My cat sat on my bed and watched the whole episode so I guess she liked it.

Nice to see that Sonico's passion for rock was able to inspire Sayaka to continue doing what she loves.

This episode was promising at first but it turn rather shallow by the end, it really had no punch line.

no punch line? what the hell. i thought this was a pretty legit episode with decent writing, especially coming from an anime that's supposedly shitty fan service. you got a new character who loves something but cant continue doing it because so far she hasnt had any success with it. and failure doesn't put food on the table; but along the way she meets sonico. instead of resenting sonico, she accepts and learns from sonico - a girl who's much younger, supposedly more naive, and havent experienced much of 'life' yet. but lo and behold, sonico was the answer in reigniting the flame for our ambitious writer. 8/10 solid episode.

Other than that, it was a good episode, the preview for the next one looks good though: Titanic reference anyone?

That one kitten really got all comfy while waking her up haha ^^

I like this episode. It wasn't all just fan service, it was kind of uplifting (no not that kind of uplifting lmao). Kind of makes you wish you had people like Sonico to power you up when you're down.

This godlike ED was simply too much, in the most wonderful way. Despite the meh models that they use every ED, this one's ascends the 3D model world and enters the heavenly realms. This also episode confirms that Sonico is the second coming of Jesus, here to save us all. You CAN do it, writer lady! All hail our headphone overlord!

Suspension of disbelief.

I remember reading theories about writers of this show being held back because it's about a mascot character. I'm more willing to believe that now, if Sayaka's reactions to Sonico are anything to go by (especially how she was disappointed on how normal she was).

Still... I feel nothing negative towards this show. Another slice of someone's life has been experienced and that's that.

Now to wait for the zombies...

More info about her headphones:
Actually there appears to be a reason why other people don't seem to notice them or pay them no mind.

For the Sonicomi game, the MC definitely notices them but "something" keeps causing him to not ask about them, but if the player keeps trying to ask about them, again "something" keeps recommending you leave it alone, then for the final time when you try to pursue the issue further, you get a huge headache and you get sent to a dark space and a voice tells you, you were warned and you get a game over

It's the same with the manager, the MC notices them but everyone else seems to pay it no mind, like it's normal but the MC just shrugs it off.

A slightly better episode. I felt kinda connected to Kinomoto as I love writing as well and finding a correct place for your work to be appreciatted is very, very difficult. Ironic that I liked the episode not because of Sonico. Oh well.

Why is this show rated so poorly? It's not high-class entertainment in any way, but what did people expect? I'm watching this for exactly what it is and enjoying it plenty for just that.

Also, I can't wait for the inevitable headphones theories. There have to be people out there who will take her headphones seriously and over-analyze the content in the show to make an explanation.

Have to say, I don't know if it was just even more accentuated this episode or what, but somehow I only just noticed that Sonico's breasts are freaking huge.

Psh, that's basically me in the mornings... I don't have any alarms anymore, but I used to have lots of them all going off at once until I just gave up on them ever waking me up. (Sadly enough) I could sleep through a burning train crashing through my house. But I actually didn't notice the headphones being on her head... I think it's just humorous that she wears them all the time.

Maybe it will be poked fun at that she's always wearing her headphones.

I don't care for the EDs of this series at all. The songs are fine, but the CG or whatever is terrible. I would prefer just still images or something.

This show is more watchable than it should be.

Outside of that, maybe Sonico would actually wake up to her alarms if she took off those damn headphones haha!

Episode very SOL in the narrative, which shifts its center of gravity on the Character of Kinomoto than on Sonico, not bad despite the extreme slowness.
Pleasant, simple and with a touch of sweetness, as I am not sorry episode.
The ending was very pretty.
I hope will become more intense this TV series, talking about narrative and plot.

Hmm some of the questions anwered by Sonico were interesting, like what she would do if music wouldn't work out. But else too much focus on a character we'll probably never see again ^^;
