| A very typical Japanese anime, guy wants to make game, girls flock around him, guy is gutless and dogeza almost every time when the girls get mad even without a just reason, very pathetic. Girls basically just whore themselves to the main character. Lack of Katou and improper development for her, which is very typical of this type of anime, basically somewhat ruined her character for me. Both Utaha and Eriri are annoying and I personally feel that their relationship development wasn't that well done, it was very cliche and lots of cringe, and crying. A little tired of the Japanese cliche now, v/mmo, video games, idols.. Crying/acting like a kid is not synonym to moe, not for me anyway. Season 1 was good though from what I remembered. |

2gatsu said: After 2 days marathon, this is my conclusion. I could rated it 8/10 if that bitch and Utaha can give proper separation. But they ruined it, so I can only rated it 6/10. That moment really ruining my enjoyment for this series I hate that bitch so much. Aki is your childhood friend. Backstabbing your precious friend, TWICE, seriously... Yet the author create Aki's character is better than what I can see before. He is better than me to forgive the others. I'm prefer Utaha since 1st season, but because Utaha's wrong move at few last episodes, even her kiss can't make me bit happier. Are you sure Eriri and Utaha aren't mixed up here? |

| Finally done. The first half good, but later half with the overblown drama it went downhill from there. While I understand they had to betray him so they can grow, I can't help but hate them for betraying Tomoya, especially they didn't talk to him about for over a month. The least they can do is tell him early. Even though Utaha kissed him didn't make her likable anymore. After the hardships they've gone through and the bonds they made, them suddenly leaving. Its just saddening. A acquaintance of mine already spoiled me by telling the MC will get NTR or betrayed in this. That leaves best girl Kato. 7/10 |

| With this season now im 100% going to cheer for Kato to stay with Tomoya. The other two don't deserve to stay by his side anymore. I know that they wouldn't grow working with Tomoya as much as they would with that famous game, but it wasn't necessary for them to "hide" themselves for like more than a month without saying anything to him knowing or at least having a hunch that he was planning to do something else, and it wasn't going to be something for his sake and more for a memory of all of them working together to make something special and share it. If they did get together and talked it out, it could have been a way better outcome than that, especially that Tomoya is a big game addicted he would probably convince them to work in that game in the first place. It would almost fall in the same situation as Tomoya deciding for himself to give up the final stuff in their gaming for Eriri's health without talking at the least with Kato. That type of anger would be the most acceptable, because she wasn't angry because of what he did, but more because of what he didn't do, which was not talking to her in the first place. It would even be interesting to see a scene of him remembering Kato and finally realizing how painful it was for someone deciding something on his back without even talking it out first. They flat out betrayed him because something better showed up, I definitely wouldn't call them loyal or even matter friends. If the author doesn't understand the impact something like this would do in reality he doesn't really know what the hell he is writing, to begin with. I wouldn't be able to forgive as soon as Tomoya did, and for sure the friendship wouldn't be the same anymore because it was not like that they needed money, or it was their only chance to grow and etc, it could take longer but those two are successful beginners and not accepting that job wouldn't harm their lives, maybe in the case of Utaha would a little at first but nothing big, still they did it. I really hope that some mess happens because if this, I can't just accept this all "goodie goodie" ending. A mess I would mean Tomoya distancing himself from those two because they are working on different stuff and getting close to Kato, really close, or the new artist in the team evolving as much as Eriri's just to show that it wasn't necessary to do what she did to grow. Anyways, this season kind of bothered me a lot with what happen, so i'm just venting out a little. |

| The last 3 episodes succesfully made me hate Utaha and Eriri... Tomoya should never forgive those 2 betrayers... Megumi rules.! |

| new it time to W8 for season 3 that ends the story properly when hes dating some1 at the end, if not S3 then ova's, but it cant end like this Genres: Harem, Comedy, Romance, Ecchi, School its not real romance if MC doesn't end up dating any1 unless its real harem end where all girls remain by hes side like Tenchi Muyou! GXP end i gave both seasons 8/10, but if they leave it at that it will be drop to 5/10 when i watch romance anime i don't like romance cliffhanger to be the ENDING of the story, unless its like real harem like Tenchi Muyou! GXP if it is then i can live with it, but this anime is not like that so in the end MC has to hook up with some1 |

| that kiss scene was hilarious she stole Eriri chance to get hes first kiss XD |
| Wasn't a huge fan of the first season but goddamn did I enjoyed this one! |
 |
| These two should totally have remained in first name basis. All the precious moments Utaha and Eriri gave in the last few episodes have been yet again overshadowed by the best girl just with her showing a side we have never seen before, grinning like the way she did in this epsiode! Absolutely precious! Even though Utaha took his first kiss, even though Eriri holds the place of his irreplaceable childhood friend, it's the girl who Tomoya described as his "Destiny" at the start of the anime remained the best girl throughout the anime. Also, if it wasn't obvious before, this episode made it absolutely certain that Megumi sees Tomoya as her romance interest.  The best episode of this entire adaptation remained episode 8 of this season. Even though episodes 9 and 10 were all about Utaha and Eriri, it took just less than 50 seconds for Megumi to steal it back from those two at the end of episode 10 by proposing to a go on a date that continued in this final episode with the same appearance that took Tomoya's heart away. I am skeptical that we will get a sequel because the LN has already ended. But if it does, I hope to see more of Megumi. I have come across many heroines like Utaha and Eriri in the past. Megumi is just so incredibly ordinary that she stands out from everyone else, and she is, without a doubt, the best idea the author came up with when he decided to write this LN. I would have given the second season a 7/10 but I will give it an 8/10 because of episode 8. It was just that good! #TeamMainHeroine |

| Well that was a nice ending I must say! Quite liked it actually, especially that kiss scene! All in all a pretty solid second season! |
 |
| In my opinion Season 2 is much better than season 1. WELL DONE |
 |
| This anime warmed my heart... From the bottom of my heart aregato Hope for season 3... 9/10... |
| I prefer Katou in her long hair. Still she is the best girl in this show. Way better then others. That kiss meant nothing. Only Katou is real choice. This season was better then first one. 8/10. |

| Man!!!!! I m so pissed off on Utaha and Eriri right now !!!! |

xeco said: Some valid points but I still favor Utaha as she's the most beautiful, most elegant, smartest and goes in for the kiss and confession whereas the other girls didn't. Eriri is a traitor multiple times now and is childish both physically and behaviorally. I think the senpai girls in anime are often the best, ladylike ones.I cant believe there are people still thinking that utaha is best girl when she betrayed rinei and dont give me the "grow" excuse its dumb to think people can grow with that woman as her boss , its irreal , also she and eriri are traitors because the way they left the circle , the mc is so dumb for forgiving them, so beta. Worst girls of the season : Utaha and Eriri Overall I liked the 1st season more as it was more lighthearted and fun. Too much drama and tears this season. |
 |
| Damn it, it only took 1 episode to make me come back to Utaha's fanclub, nontheless I still think that Kato is the best choice after everything that happened. Overall a great finale and ended liking this season more than the first one (despite how much I hated episode 9 and 10) because of the character development (god bless you Kato) and the interactions between most characters. The wait time until the movie gets released is gonna be a pain because I'm gonna miss these characters a lot. |
 |
| Once I saw Tomoya say that everything is fine, I stopped watching. Fuck this anime for not even being able to commit to basic drama. And here I thought SaeKano was different. 2/10. |

"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
Thank you for this. This means there is still more than enough material for a 3rd season. I really want to see Aki's development as a director/producer, starting with how he sources new talent to fill in the gaps. Also, gotta love that damn kiss. Was shipping Tomoya x Utaha from the start soooooo....  |

| IMHO a better 2nd half. still good amounts of comedy with a more serious tone to it. sooner or later the MC does have to wake up from his dreams. |
| anime/manga version of steam would be awesome - https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1625396 |
 ^Y'know, I'm glad Eriri's reaction here was made into a T-shirt. She always did make some of the silliest faces in the series. This was a good re-watch. Still gotta wait for the movie though~ |
| They actually mentioned the reason why I did not like it as much as the first season in the end. Best girl was completely absent for the second half of the show... The fanservice was also disappointing, episode 00 was pretty much the only thing ecchi about it and it doesn't count to the normal season. The conversations were interesting at least, because the ending didn't really appeal to me either. But it's hard to give it something less than a 7/10 since the visuals were also quite nice and I enjoyed the first half. |
| Well, it was a good finale, the date with Kato is kinda sweet, best grill wins! Though, Kasumigaoka stole the first kiss, always the first to attack huh? Anyway, I'm glad that everything is fine for now, and i hope in the future too, a good finale for this season. 8/10 |

| Wow they tried to be meta about how Michiru is non-existent in this season to what? Somewhat make it ok? They showed her at the very last minute at least. Anyway as for the whole thing, it's good. Kept me entertained when need be. 7 |

| My first reaction to the last 3 episodes was really really annoyed. Probably the first time in a long time I got actually angry about writing in a show. I will condence it here: The reason I reacted this way in the first place was the writing up to this point. I liked pretty much all the characters in the main cast a lot. Which never happens usually. All of them seemed to be very friendly to each other and (obviously in a harem series) """in love""". The characterization of the two ladies, that broke off was completly thrown out of the window for (IMO) pushing on with the story, because it seems the writer wasn't sure, how the "main girl" would win in any shape or form if they didn't do something batshit insane. I lamented the way they did things, not that they did it. The MC would have supported them in a heartbeat, if they were just honest with him. I will go into the (imo intentional) NTR-Feel many people felt when those episodes and the volumes in the LN came out in my spoiler section below.* The producer character herself was shown earlier in this sesaon, but never actually mentioned, other than that she was the driver that helped the MC get to Eriris place. The big disney-villain grin already felt really off to me, when I saw it the first time. I knew, that this was bad news, because up to this point there was no "real" one dimentional villain in the series. The way she acts in the anime itself was cringey to the max. As if producer and bosses of creative people HAVE to act this way to get the job done (spoiler - in the real world this is 99% of the time a way to nuke your team, if you act this way). The fact the MC forgives them the day after? a week after (????) instantly, even for this huge betrayal they did. Willingly. Like I said - leaving the circle for such a huge project - nobody would have given a crap, but the writer insisted on making it as "dramatic" as possible, for seemingly maximum damage to their friendship (and possible realationship both the girls wanted with the MC) Now to the small Manga Spoiler for "Girls Side Vol 2" *LN Spoiler ahead, talking about writing Episode 9 and 10 TANKED my enjoyment of the show and made me angry, because I felt like the writer himself went into my screen and told me, that everything up to this point was pointless and thanks for watching NTR, Anime Edition. ^NTR usually doesn't bother me, because there is almost never enough time to actually get to know the characters. "Saenai Heroine" had such likeable girl-characters, I actually cared about what they did and when they acted in a way they actually overcame (Eriri learning from the past and such) a season ago, only for some cheap drama, that in the long run didn't matter much, made me angry. Overall I never felt so mixed about a series in my life honestly. There were some I hated, some I loved and many I didn't get invested much. Saenei Heroine managed to get me invested and did what it did to it. Now, with this 30000000. Edit I will leave Saenei Heroine and got off my chest, what bothered me the most about it. I gave the author the benefit of the doubt and read the whole LN and the Girls Side Manga so I could understand, if I missed something important. I didn't. I had a few things I wrote about in the post before, but I don't want to make it even more complicated (mostly stuff about characters doing things, that did not "feel good" to the reader/viewer in other media, but made sense for the character, which the betrayal in this series did not.) |

| A great ending. It was somewhat open-ended, but felt satisfying. The date with Megumi was cute. She's definitely best girl. I'd be dying with nervousness and excitement throughout the date if that were me. It's the things she does, even the little things, that really reels you in. The scene on the hill was best. It was just what Tomoya needed. Even though she got roped into this, Megumi still wants to make a game, she doesn't want to let blessing software die. Without Eriri and Utaha-senpai, she still wants to make it. That was also emotional for Tomoya. I think this is the first time that he really seriously cried, finally letting out how he really feels about Eriri and Utaha-senpai leaving. I don't quite understand why Megumi didn't reach out and comfort Tomoya when he was crying. It looked like she was going to, but then she stepped back. Can anyone enlighten me here? When Tomoya came to wish Eriri and Utaha-senpai good luck, it was both heartwarming and hilarious. I thought Eriri was going to kiss Tomoya, but then Utaha-senpai came in and gave that oh-so-sensual kiss lol. Damn, she was really hot there. She took Tomoya's first kiss and they all missed the train. Kinda saw missing the train coming but not like that. Megumi sure has changed. She's far more expressive now, I was honestly surprised at how natural it was for her to start giggling seeing Tomoya wearing those glasses. They look so much like a couple now, I wish they'd be honest about it and make it official. Looks like Izumi will be joining them now. And that ending initially didn't confuse me, but is it really open as to whether Eriri and Utaha-senpai joining Akane Kosaka? Like did they really not in the end? Because Michiru said something about it not being so easy for them to just get accepted back into the team. Also, I'm really curious about what Megumi said to Eriri. They could've really shown that, honestly. It was interesting to see Eriri react with such surprise seeing the usual deadpan Megumi cry. I really want to know what she said. But well, their relationship was not developed enough in the anime (maybe it was in the LN) so although I know that they are best friends, often it doesn't seem like it. Also lol at that breaking the 4th wall talking about Michiru not appearing much in this season, especially the second half. I wonder what Megumi was thinking, staring up at Tomoya looking at Eriri, Michiru, and Utaha-senpai. Was it love? That's what I think, at least. That animation of her saying "oshimai" was really smooth and lovely to see, along with that hiragana "oshimai". Love the aesthetic of this series. It felt unique, especially with the changing colours depending on character, the deliberate placement of focus and having someone else (especially Megumi) do something in the background, the voice acting (especially Megumi, remaining deadpan and low despite the tone being angry or frustrated). The visuals were great in this series. I loved the first season, and totally LOVE the second season. It was far better, far more enjoyable, that I almost gave it a 10, but felt that it wasn't really "masterpiece" quality. 9/10, solid. Maybe 9.5. Gonna miss this. Hope to see the movie soon, though sad that it didn't air in my country. Will watch it somehow, and definitely going to buy the LNs someday. |

| of course the main dude is acting like a saint and forgives our two bitches, all this show was forced drama upon forced drama and feet, lots of feet shots, prob the director has a feet fetish. decent 4/10 it has some good moments with all the anime otaku stuff, katou was ok, the two bitches were so so. I didn't care much about them "betraying" the circle, I won't get into detail, it was just forced for the sake of looking cool. Now I feel the movie will feature red head as an illustrator and the other douchbag helping megumi-softo |
