Oh Minare, she should be more confident in her future related to radio programming.

The fact that some people at least has curiousity about her could be a boost to her career. Looks like the episode retains the similar humor with Minare's reactions selling her persoonality. That phone call is absolutely priceless. Also curious about that Madoka girl and worth to keep an eye on.

I like this episode more than previous one, and the next episode preview though, I totally encourage girls to make out so they'll leave my men alone! (My men = radio director, sound mixer, and another curry employee).

I think we see a little bit of her ex-boyfriend? He's kinda hot too!

Another good episode, and another episode where Minare is great (although I can understand if people find her to be too annoying). Not as intense as last week but we did get some teases of Minare's ex and see more of her interactions in the restaurant.

Ending is nice too, especially the visuals.

The first episode was pretty boring but this episode was really fun. I guess I'll keep watching after all.

I really want her to be successful and take revenge on her ex.

The ED is a bop.

The real star of this show is Minare and she is the kind of character that makes or breaks it for the watcher. She makes it for me. I absolutely love her character and if it wasn't for Rikou from Sing Yesterday For Me, Minare would be the most relatable character this season.

This episode was a tad more traditional than the first one... A bit more physical comedy and dialogue between characters. Still fantastic though and is quite on track with the manga (some reveals have been moved around for dramatic effect tho)

The second episode wasn't as intense as the first one, butI was just as entertained by it. I love that Minare went viral. xD I mean, I don't really listen to the radio, but I believe I would want to listen to her again if I did. And I love that the first thing she did after being scouted to work in the radio with them was to check the average pay. lol And I also like how she considered dating Koumoto, if only for a moment, since I think that he might be my favorite so far. Though Nakahara is also kind of cool. But yes, first things first. xD And it does feel nice to be escorted by a man so I understand her. The feeling really isn't a perk only for women though. lol I wonder how long it is going to take for her to be a full-fledged worker there too, and what was the deal with that last scene? I think I didn't mention this before, but I love the OP and the ED by the way.

Yo this episode had me in tears. When Minare's stats were rising when she was talking to her Manager I was done!

There's a lot of interesting characters in this anime and I am looking forward to meeting them.

I thing there will be a Love Rivalry between Shinji (Miname's Neighbor) and Nakahara.

"There was No God" Miname's apron was hilarious lol.

This episode was a nice competition with Yesterday.
Just look at this: https://streamable.com/4sdrg9

Better than the first episode in every way.
So good. Good to see the visual comedy not playing second fiddle to the verbal comedy.

It's all a part of a bigger joke.
The restaurante is called "Voyager" (traveler), like the famous space probe.
Their food stand at the festival is called Gagarin, like in Yuri Gagarin.
Those aprons are his two most famous quotes after coming back from space.
"I don't see any God up there", and "The Earth is blue.

Dat cliffhanger definitely raised my anticipation xD

Even more fun than the first episode. Love Koda and the gags. Opening is also pretty damn good, first time that I heard a song from tacica aside from Haikyuu ED and Naruto Shippuden OP.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

They struck gold with the choice of VA for Koda. Absolutely nailed her character. Apparently she's a newbie too, which makes it even more fitting for the role. Here's to hoping this series will propel her into getting more prominent roles in the future.

Meh. I know it's really early, but there hasn't been much delivered to the plate in terms of making me give a second damn about the majority of the cast. I guess it's cause I've seen these archetypes a bit too many times before in some other forms.
Either the MC should just STFU or the show should JUST be literally her doing all those funny radio takes (even if the comedy doesn't really hit most of the time)...lol

That ED theme is rocking, though.

This show just gets more fun by the minute. I appreciate the fact that they're representing radio as accurately as they can (at least I assume they are) while also presenting it in a way so newcomers can understand what's going on and they can still add tons of visual flare. That gag where Minare gets angry at the manager and her drawing just starts stretching upwards; that was like genius low budget comedy, I love it. Also, whoever's idea it was to put the text on those aprons. It's an understated thing, but that was brilliant.

Kind of confused by the ending though. A guy flashbacks to seeing a girl get naked and then blood starts pouring from the ceiling. I assume this will be explained later, but for now, I just went "...okaaaay."

BTW, speaking of getting naked, it's a minor complaint, but I really hate what I call "Spice and Wolf Censorship" where they'll have tits fully on the screen but just won't draw the nipple on. I feel like that's the worst kind of nudity censorship because the end result just looks weird and wrong. This is all to say that that bit at the end of ED where we can see Minare's fully exposed but nippleless boob just made me groan.

The first episode was not easy to get into because that scene with the imaginary bear made me irritated from the start but I loved the second episode. I have a feeling this will turn out to be a unexpectedly good series (at least a lot better than its present MAL score suggests).

I enjoyed this episode much more than the first one. I'm curious about her neighbor and this Mitsuo guy. I doubt he's Mitsuo since she'd recognize him but perhaps he shares the same name and feels attacked? Also, that ending was kind of confusing. Any guesses?

Nov that her time in Voyager is up, Minare at least has a new gig on the horizon. It was awfully thoughtful of her to sign a waiver for the radio fellow.



The ending was... cryptic.

Should of got round to listening (watching) this earlier but a sjw put me off while reading ep 1 comments. My own fault, I assumed it was some woke thing. Another brilliant episode. Love the MC and the characters around them. Dialogue is fantastic and characters relatable. Cant wait to watch more.

Anime series that also passes the test of the nine. The narration is fun to follow because of the delusions of the protagonist, a certain derangement called Minare, the episode runs smoothly like oil to the end and there is no lack of moments for laughing; the final scene before the ending promises something comic in the next episode, I can't wait! I don't like CG at all, but the quality of the drawings and backgrounds is quite good. I also like the opening and ending because of how they blend music with the accompanying images.

I think they are very distracting
the manga's eyes aren't like that so I don't know what gave the anime character designers the impression that the eyes should have shadow
