I feel so bad for that scriptwriter and their role in general. If any part of what he claimed is realistic then their job is really demoralizing specially if they get treated like this. Hopefully he has his revenge in the future with a better work but for now we'll focus on the date and how much Kanna reacts in jealousy.

Poor playwriter, but I do understand the authors side. Still feel bad for the playwriter getting all the blame. Was fun seeing that side of the story but it still kinda feels like a set up for the arc. I’ve heard it’s the best arc of the whole show but for me it still has to get good. It’s enjoyable of course but not amazing, and by comparison the first season had back to back really good episodes, with the latter episodes being not as incredible. Granted we’re only 2 of the 13 episodes in but still.

Interesting choice they made here to switch the introductions of the cast to the second episode. They also showed Abiko's outrage first before doing a flashback to their meeting the previous night. I guess the manga author, Akasaka-sensei, approved these changes lol. The irony.

I like the translation the scanslator did for this line better: "You have no talent as a writer!"
That sounds much better than what the official sub did by literally translating the loanword "sense" as sense in english. Oldpier the goat.

So much detail about theater that it convinced me this is theater arc (which is a good thing), I feel so bad for the scriptwriter, he do his best but the middle person mistranslated the communication, the mangaka should communicate with scriptwriter from the start smh.

Is the whole bit about the author/screenwriter adaptation issues plot relevant? It felt like until Akane (God she looks stunning here) invited Aqua out nothing much happened.

When did this episode even end?I thought we're halfway through when Akane invited Aqua to the theatre date. This pacing feels can feel weird when watching an anime but it really does inspire me to go back to reading some manga too.

The sudden change of mangaka Abiko Samejima to call forth the redo of the entire Tokyo Blade 2.5D stage play has everyone in shambles. But going back to the prelim stage where everyone is working together on the same project, bringing back Sweet Today's Melt, Kana, Aqua and Akane, alongside the multi-talented Taiki Himekawa. Of course, how can one talk about Aqua without talking about Akane, and that has Kana all jealous about their romantic development both on and off camera.

Aside from Abiko being a weirdo of an author, Lala Lai failing to read and assimilate the original source material, scriptwriter GOA is on the spotlight for that fault alone, which is quite typical of the media industry, AniManga included. And that causes a lot of rifts between authors, editors and producers, though it's her vision on the books, and it's people like GOA and producer Sumiaki who has to suffer the grunt when the media does not align with what was intended to be created, even if it has to deviate away from the original to fit within the confines of that medium. GOA is really pressured against a childish author who demanded his exclusion since he could not bring her vision to life, and I really feel for him.

With the rewrite of the script, Akane and Aqua have a bit of time on their hands, so why not a date to understand more about theater?

This Game of Telephone is quite the toxicity.

pretty good ep not gonna lie, been hearing that season 2 is not that good compared to season 1 but I like the second season, it dives deeper into smaller part of the industry and show us the struggle of people who are behind the screen making a theatre play, I felt pretty bad for the script writer he was working his ass off but still got dumped by the manga writer this shows how unfair and curl the industry is.....

Episode flew by in a flash, guess I just enjoy those explanations about the production steps behind all of this. I can understand the author, I wouldn't want my characters acting weird either.

Akane ftw. If anything else, greatly well executed, but that's not as good as the launching season.

And that is why I try to not go beyond da anime, cause even in animes they are either slightly changed or skip lots of content, just to make the 24 min deadline.

Now this season is really different. We have a bit of nonlinear storytelling.

That chibi-sensei is great.
