Bath/onsen episode...
That was super awkward with the old dudes there though. Also, Setsuna is ripped LOL

Not much Ashley Oono this episode....meh. Itsuki isn't fun to watch when he's doing things on his own.

The part in the onsen was really funny, they where loved by the old woman and Itsuki was scared to death but he did manage to get inspiration for his work.
And an episode without the girls was a but lonely, Miyako only appeared shortly in this episode and Nayuta barely had any screen time at all.

That metal gear escape.
The onsen scene was more horror than fanservice this time around; good thing Nayu was there to save the day. He probably got scarred for life; but at least it was useful for his novel I guess.

It was interesting how he portrayed Ashley, Chihiro and Nayu as Hilde, but not Miyako. Poor girl can't win even in the novel.

The mixed bath scene was hilarious and seeing how Editor-san treated Itsuki was gold xDDD

I'm happy for both Itsuki and Haruto though, congrats to the both of them and especially for Itsuki for getting his LN made into a manga now

But man I love Nayu.....Dat tub scene and then the card she sent him xD I guess that's why Haruto said what he said...He's jealous of the attention that Itsuki gets

Also, seeing how ripped Setsuna was killed me, I did not expect that body for him at all lol

Great episode again, pretty long prologue though. xD

Editor-san is scary as hell. XD
The mixed bath scene was really funny and I totally did not expect Setsuna to be ripped. xD

Itsuki sure struggled this time around but it was nice of Haruto to come and cheer him and motivate him whenever possible,
That Nayu card. <3

The parallel between the actual written scene and Itsuki's writing was gold. XD
Final scene at the restaurant was pretty well done and congratulations to Itsuki for getting his work made into a manga.

Nice end card too.

HA! I was thinking the same thing, hoping they would do the alert sound if he got caught.

Also when he got locked in the room reminded me of Shirobako.

Despite the absence of best side characters it was pretty enjoyable episode.
Manga adaptation? I guess that explains this new girls that appeared earlier in this episode.

Nice to see Haruto and Itsuki competing but still being friends. Haruto feels inferior despite being a successful writer. Now that Itsuki gets a manga adaptation I wonder if he will also get anime one day.

The editor is one scary guy. He will do anything to make Itsuki write something. The mixed bath scene was funny. I didn't expect Setsuna to be ripped. It was nice of Haruto to cheer Itsuki when he was struggling. Congrats to Itsuki for getting his LN turned into a manga.

Probably the weakest episode so far. As has been said many times before, this anime is largely carried by Nayu (and Ashley last week) and having both of them be pretty much entirely absent for an episode really makes the overall quality drop unfortunately

This episode was really funny. I like the mix between comedy and seriousness, once again I'm getting Welcome to the NHK vibes with this anime. This anime shows really good signs of being one of the best anime of the season.

Why do they move the OP up to the 16th-minute mark??, that was odd. Another ok ep. I guess. Considering the episode is all about Itsuki, I was surprised with the lack of imouto related jokes

At least the story is still going slowly somewhere, which is nice, let's see how the manga turns out to be.

Why was the OP 16 minutes into the episode?


I wish he'd just do his job. I don't think he made one pervy little sister joke this episode other than wanting the accountant call him onii-chan. which is a vast improvement.

Greatest. Editor. Ever. :D

Itsuki getting locked up reminded me a lot of the same happening to the director in Shirobako. :D

As much as his fears gave him inspiration, looks like his rivalry with Haruto worked even better to get him writing.

But nothing works as well as Chihiro's homemade food. ^_^


Also, he really looks better with that stubble. *nods*

Not much of an episode (aside from that one old-hag pool scene) but the ending was fine.
ED card and their gifted photo was good though.

Still, I would appreciate if they concentrated more on the girls and their slice-of-life interactions with main character as his book writing is probably the least interesting part of this series.
Let's hope the next episode would give us more than last two not so interesting eps.

Itsuki managed to finish his work on time just before the deadline. Well, gotta thank the editor for that, lol.

Enjoyable episode, but that onsen scene was just both cringe and creepy at the same time, lol.

Waittttttttttt, nobody noticed how the editor had two right hands?!?!

around the 2 minute mark, he used his right hand to hand her his business card, but his right hand was holding mc in captivity at the time, wtf?!

I'm beginning to think that the quality of the show is inverse to the amount of screentime the girls get. More focus on the MC's work life + bro/coworker relationships + industry commentary = less time to fuck around with trashy fanservice.

Also, I love the guitar tune that plays at the end of each episode.

Pretty good episode. I like the editor. He really knows how to deal with Itsuki. :p This episode pretty much confirmed that Miyako isn't in Itsuki's mind and that he doesn't really see her that way. When he said "I want to see Nayu," it confirmed that he does have a thing for her. Well, from the start I knew that he is interested in Nayu despite his attempts to prove otherwise. I guess it's just a matter of time before he finally gives her the answer she's waiting for.

Retarded doesn't even begin to describe this editor . . . Any moron kno knows ANYTHING about creation art & fiction, it's the NECESSITY of exposure to things which can spark inspiration, as well as being in an environment in which the mind can be at easy and focus on the task. An oppressive jail cell of a shithole is THE WORST POSSIBLE PLACE you can put someone when wanting results.

I understand people wouldn't find the creative part interesting but as much as this anime has got fanservice, it's still about a lightnovelist. Gotta reach those daily word targets. It's good to actually see the show spend time on this side too

I don't think I've ever seen a show's opening theme run so far close to the end of the episode before. The opening and ending are so close to each other lol

LOL fun episode especially the horrifying obasans on the mixed bath!
Itsuki's director is savage! able to trace him using GS and even went to the trouble using a homing device that has been put on his clothes to track him!
Itsuki has been trapped in solidarity just for the sake of finishing his novel!
Good thing both are going-up! Haruto having an anime of his work and Itsuki getting a manga also of his work!
4/5.

Well, its better episode than first 2 episode. Exploring story as life of novelist more without the 2 bicc. Reason the 2 first are not good because they throw everything about the main heroine 'Too fast'.

As someone who is currently making a novel for the NaNoWriMo challenge, this episode was actually interesting. Not only did the viewers were taught the types of deadlines but also the consequences of not making the deadline on time.
I am just happy that Itsuki's editor is getting plenty of screen time in this anime.

So far the best episode of the show so far. The onsen part was humorous with the old ladies and it was great to see the main character mature a bit more. Episode felt really clean too minus the comedic onsen.

That scene in the mixed bath was to be expected. But it was funny nevertheless.

How Itsuki was locked up was hilarious. Maybe MAL should consider that too.
