Another great episode. Amazing direction as always

I wonder why Tataki takes notice of Key so much, and not Sakura. He passed right by her boarded-up home to get to Key's far-away one, and in the photograph took note of only one person. Sakura is so much more likable but he barely cares. Then again the guy seems unhealthily obsessed with idols, so maybe the silent girl's budding success has him hooked.

That producer dude is very creepy. Is it his constant, unconditional winning causing him to take on a hopeless cause, or does he want to build her up to fail? I've heard of people so innately cruel that they show enough kind to form a bond or expectation, only to watch the hurt when they break it.

Yes, I've also noticed him only taking notice in Key and not Sakura; it's pretty strange.

I think I get why he wants Key, not Sakura. As we saw 10 minutes in the episode, his interest peaked when he heard Key was cursed and seemed excited to be struck by bad luck stating he never experienced it before(10mins 27secs). Key, in general, is more of a mystery and wild card. Even though Sakura, throughout the show has been considered more attractive, Key, claiming to be a robot is more inherently interesting to him.

I thought the prodigy was a good guy and then the show quickly ruined that. I think he is man who is looking to fail. Everything comes easy for him so he is trying hard task and seeing if he is just to lucky to fail. Also I love the detail of D only typing with two fingers it shows realism in the show. I think this episode is the set up for the final act. I have so many questions still.

-watches episode 10 of Key the Metal Idol-
-cult leader speaks for the first time this episode-
-I almost spit out my drink-
Did they really think they could replace his voice actor with freaking KENICHI OGATA and nobody would notice?!? He's got one of the most unique and distinct voices in the industry!
