THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Looks like Key has found her calling while watching Miho, seeing the extreme popularity music gives the singer.

Sakura is a very understanding person, at the moment. If Key is successful in her idol career, which given the series' title I'm certain she will be, I can imagine Sakura succumbing to money pressures. It's hard to live in financially desperate times, but easier when you know others are doing the same thing. When naive robots are scooping up money by the truckload, how long can a supposedly superior human continue to guide dump trucks?

I'm interested in hearing how Key sings with her robo-English. Will continue to compare the original audio to the dub, but so far (with Miho and the OP/ED) the music has been of equal quality.

Really nice development! I'm really digging how the overall episodes progresses and the whole mystical appearance over the episode makes it really interesting!

This episode didn't grab me like the first episode, it felt like it was missing something. Also the animation seemed much worse this episode than the first and those frame by frame animation spots seemed a bit lazy and out of place.

That clock turning at the end, it was just wow. The pacing seems pretty weak so far, I think spending quite a few minutes establishing Sakura's situation who had a pretty memorable house may I add, and that the guy is an upstanding individual as a good fighter and manager is a little unnecessarily slow at moments. That said, at least those antagonists had a point as Sakura as someone of honor and dignity.

I do like the bits of Sakura being inconsiderate asking Key to take a shower and telling her how she would never be human. You could say she was brash as she doesn't think through her words, but how quickly she apologized is notable. It's a nice way to show if she thought it through a minute show wouldn't have said it.

This episode wasn’t as memorable as the last but I still enjoyed some things like giving us some more mystery. I liked the ending that has now shown that Key is drawn to that rockstar lifestyle. I think it was still important to continue to establish somethings now so that we they can use it later on.
