Whee~!
Lol... sad that Kyoko has to meet all these annoying people... but meh, that's life, eh?

Anywayz... Kyoko FTW~! What she does is most certainly called dedication. ;P
Cool that the director was so "accepting..." Lol. ;/
And yeah... I can't help but find Kyoko's personality so awesome and entertaining~ In ways, I feel like I can relate. >x<~!

Next episode looks pretty exciting~ Can't wait.

That was excellently done. Kyoko's "transformation" was exactly like the manga, love it.

Ren is totally awesome. <3 I want more close-ups, curses.

Next episode will be even better than this one.

Err, I would say that's kind of spoilers right there for people who have not read the manga. There is a hint of the director and president's intention but it has not be stated so. And it would be better especially if you didn't say that very first line.

my appolgoies, but he said right up there that she did, so I made the assumption that it was talked about in this episode.

and if you want me to edit and add a spoiler tag, don't quote, I can't edit that.

I loved this ep so much. It made me re-read that part in manga too. Just so awesome. <3 And yeah, Kyoko looked much better in Kimono..Ruri-chan looked kinda childish to me with such a bow.. (well, in manga too...)
If only there was acting scene with a kiss or something.. ;_;
Need to make new sig. Soon. Maybe.

Haha, fantastic episode, the best so far for me, funny as hell with great themes and a gigantic confrontation in the next episode probably ;) Good character development too and Kyoko is really growing to be a great character. Still, I guess that something bad for her career will happen once again in the next episode (after all, she's still acting because of anger and not because she likes it).

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

awesome episode... i really loved Kyoko in Kimono... even though I'm usually not a fan of those... but Kyoko was just so beautiful and evil, so i couldn't help it and loved it

favorite scene was the very last one (just before the ending song) with Kyoko with the red evilish background ^^

Awesome! This episode was truly worth the 5/5.

Character interactions are the most interesting parts of anime and this episode had plenty. Kyoko was very awesome, too. Her different and suddenly changing attitudes were very entertaining and chibi characters never get old.

But I doubt Kyoko will win. In the end she will only be used as a tool to make the other girl a better actor and Kykoko will get some points but this will be it. I bet this will be the outcome. :/

Too bad that it's over already and we have to wait another week .... and then another ... and then ...

I really enjoyed this episode, and it's probably my favorite episode so far. Something about the competition between Ruriko and Kyoko, and butting heads was very entertaining and humorous.

And also this one;

"I owe all of this to you being so selfish, haughty and arrogant."

Kyoko knows how to rub it in and in Ruriko's face too. LOL And she is literally breaking a leg in this episode! XD

Aw, I love how sincere Ryouko is. "This is the happiest moment in my 16 years of life!" Sure, I wouldn't be that pleased over makeup, but it's refreshing to have her act that way when everyone else are such assholes and take it all for granted.

lmao that last line made it sound like Kyouko was going to kill Ruriko XD

Aside from Kyouko's "evilness" I'm starting to lose interest in this series. In fact, it's kind of becoming a chore to watch.

love it!!

Ruriko was acting like a arrogant queen all over the episode.

funny how Ren was honest at her for being tired of waiting of her XD

Kyouko looks gorgeous with a pro make up :)

just like a Princess!!!

even with a injury Kyouko is fighting back!! she's seriously gonna beat you in your own game Ruriko!

it seems Kyouko had a lot of hardships when she was young. i wonder if she used to belong to a prince and princess clan? :D

seems Ren is pretty serious when it comes to work. watch and learn Ruriko, Kyouko will show you how it's done!!

more more more!!
