THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Ooh, Izumi is back.
I find it amusing how irritated Eriri became this episode and she still has this rivalry relationship with her.

Utaha is still cold as always as expected. I did like Katou and Tomoya's interactions this episode though as the two still work on their game project. Nice to see Michiru again!

Jesus fucking Christ Tomoya...That post credits scene was so uncalled for

Other than that, now I understand why Katou is so loved, her dynamic with everyone and especially Tomoya is so freaking GREAT

Also, that shot of Michiru sleeping on the bed was 10/10

Got some rivalry going on. That post credit scene though. Tomoya can't choose either because he thinks it's crap. That was brutal.

Finally a Kato episode <3
It's good to see some rivarly banter between circles back, it kind of fell in second place between seasons. Utaha dropping a casual confession inside the game backfired on her. Tomoya's bluntness bordered cruelty though.
Can't wait for next week.

After Credits scene, hmm look like utaha-senpai didnt write for who will buy this game, but write for her to make tomoya make decision, and that make her script is crap

The after credits scene took me by surprise. The two routes themselves are equally interesting, but in Tomoya's opinion, both routes won't work as it will make the game crap.

Considering that Utaha has been eagerly awaiting his opinion on her scripts, his verdict is VERY brutal indeed. D=

Thanks to that verdict, she'll have to make a lot of revisions on the script with time becoming more of a luxury now. Michiru was able to convince the rest of her bandmates to help out Tomoya and Kato with the programming of the game, so at least progress has been made in a way.

Hopefully Utaha doesn't take Tomoya's verdict too personally though.

Great episode overall, and the small fight between Eriri and Izumi was amusingly adorable. =3

I don't remember liking Megumi this much last season to be honest. Maybe I should rewatch it some time, who knows. Still probably like Utaha a bit more but it's pretty close now. Either way, it seems like there's probably going to be more drama this season. I'm normally fine with that but I'm not entirely sold on how well this series can pull it off. Well, guess we'll see.

Damn, he called his game crap... now that he has a strong rival/company against his product he is going to be more hypercritical of the quality of his game/product. The question is… are they going to start from scratch?!

So even Megumi can be jealous and possesive in her very own way, I liked this episode (even though making Izumi a rival felt like mere afterthought).

Surely Utaha couldn't tell Megumi that "there is still hope he won't choose her". The aftercredits twist to scratch both endings was unexpected but it's obvious he can't choose just yet as we aren't even half-way through the anime and Aki is exceptionally dense even. But they'll probably incorporates both as different routes. Wonder what the real true end would be...

Or... if both routes are actually wrong that only hints he doesn't want either outcome which left the other girl unhappy, in other words he doesn't want to choose. Probably the harem ending where everyone is happy? (their games isn't exectly the epitome of greatness.. on purpose ofc)
Still, that could feel very cheap in the end so I think there has to be another way how to resolve this on his mind.

Anyway, this episode was very well and cleverly animated, it captured character's emotions and their developement so well.

Original (Megumi), represents Eriri
Revision (Ruri), represents Utaha

Tomoyo figures that out because that one line she slips in

Whoa, the return of "Arch Enemy". Which makes Mr.Ethical doing all kind of "effort", including use a threat against Icy Tail band. Nice Tomoya, just do whatever you can to get the game finished.

A Kato heavy episode, I love it. I especially like her reactions on the train. She finally showed some emotions. That bedroom scene waking up had me rolling as well.

Damn that ending was powerful! WHAT A TWIST!

That post credit scene is so unexpected. Good one.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Gotta give this story credit, for sure thought he was gonna be like "I chose both hurrr" and have an alternate ending put into the game.
He basically just shit on her feelings, nice!

The importance of the simplicity of Kato's thought process can never be underestimated, and it was a huge help in this episode. Aki finally tested out the scripts in the actual game. I can feel it, the face off between Izumi and Eriri at the Winter Comiket is gonna be great, but Eriri seems to have a few of her own problems. Is there gonna be an in-depth character study? The post ED scene came out of nowhere and was a big plot twist. I can't comprehend what Kasumigaoka's reaction to this will be.

It might just be that the way Utaha writes scripts as is doesn't translate well when applied to a visual novel so he called both versions crap. Still, at least show some tact Tomoya, that was brutal lol.

Utaha got rekt... I assume her script didn't account for the specifics of visual novels. Aki definitely didn't mince his words, I'm looking forward to seeing Utaha's response.

No one can beat Megumi, though.
