| Another enjoyable episode, and this time with a story that I, as someone who also aspires to write a novel, could also strongly relate to. I could really feel for Natsume when everyone was pressuring her to finish the story like that; I too would find it somewhat irritating and quite overwhelming as well. On a different note, who is Isuki Ishida's VA? 'Cos I gotta say, I REALLY like her voice. |
| @DanielTortoisee: Green/yellow-haired Isuki Ishida's voice actress is Chiaki Omigawa (小見川 千明). See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiaki_Omigawa  |

| (just noticed that I forgot to update and comment the previous episode :/) Ok episode, good to see that chop soi (? forgot the name) was saved. |
| episode were ok this time, Funny story :) |
 |
| Ever since elementary, dang that's commitment. Ah, writer's block. The ultimate enemy of authors all around. Shipping Natsume with short blue-haired girl. That android is so cute. I want to take her home. Not sure how that "information" could help her... or a massage for that matter. All those girls would more likely be a distraction. Oh wait, helps her write as she gains the experience of more friends and having a good time. Right. What Natsume was saying before about why she liked writing the story actually made sense and I could definitely relate. Aww Natsume was indirectly saying that she wanted to spend more time with everyone. Cutie patooties. Aight episode. |
| If you watch carefully, there was Student Council's President randomly appeared giving Natsume a cup of tea.. Anyway, good episode.. |
| FIIIIIIIIIIIIIINALY more Chloe!!!!!!! <3 good episode |
 |
| Judging from how the opening line of the novel and its sequel start out, I'm willing to bet it's rather mediocre if only because there's no other information we got from it apart from the imagine spot and clichés they rambled off at the end. That beginning sentence is something a children's picture book would start out with. I've read and written fan fiction more engaging from the get-go than that. God, I hate this anime. If only I didn't have this no-drop policy of mine... |
  |
| Started feeling all emotional this episode with how everyone was working together to try and help the novel writer and then all the comments about how much they loved the story... Wonderful episode. Did not expect such feels from this episodic SOL series with so many characters not getting much screen time.

| I want to read that novel :3 |
| I hope that Chizuru Onodera (the tall girl with green hair and a black hair band) will turn it into a manga. |
| So in the end she didn't manage to complete her novel but the question is what is she going to do with it? Is she going to publish it while writhing a sequel or is she just writhing because she want to writhe? |
Aversa said: So in the end she didn't manage to complete her novel but the question is what is she going to do with it? Is she going to publish it while writhing a sequel or is she just writhing because she want to writhe? It's "writing" without the "h". Writhing is something else entirely >_< Maybe you mistyped but then you would have had to do so 3 times which I thought is unlikely Most likely she is just writing because she wants to. |
| I was wondering why Natsume's voice sounds familiar, I then look it up see it shares the same VA as Chiaki in Minami-ke. |
 The voice actress for Natsume-san (夏目真尋) is Minori Chihara (茅原実里). English-language Wikipedia page about her: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minori_Chihara Japanese-language Wikipedia page about her. http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%8C%85%E5%8E%9F%E5%AE%9F%E9%87%8C @Magito: You are correct. She was the VA for Chiaki Minami in Minami-ke. As far as I know, Minori Chihara is unique in the history of anime. She is the only voice performer who appeared as herself in an anime. In Episode 12 of Lucky Star, Minori Chihara was one of the characters in the story. The VA for Minori Chihara was Minori Chihara. This was the scene set at Comiket. This is my favorite episode of Lucky Star. |

| LOL! That novel though. xD That was a pretty nice episode, til around the ending where everyone got all sad that the novel ended....but they enjoyed it until the very end. ....Then Natsume made a continuation of the novel, and everyone lived happily ever after~! x3 |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| loved this episode. First it made me laugh with all the different facial reactions to her story. Then it mostly made me cry. When her teardrop hit her hand and they zoomed in on her face, I just couldn't stop the tears from flowing. I've felt the same way about anime ending. Liked when she said "I just like writing it." That's what it comes down to. Like what you do, the rest comes naturally. Her feelings about writing were expanded upon in the library later. She admits it can be frustrating at times and she does make mistakes, but looking forward to what happens to the characters keeps her motivated to write and makes it enjoyable. glad that the story wasn't completely finished so she can visit that world again. |
 The alien, the shiba dog, the sea monkey and Kumamoto Castle were all voiced by one performer. Did Kumamoto Castle have a strong Kyushu accent? Apparently, there was no voice actress for the bokchoy since she didn't have any actual spoken lines. - - - - - - - - - - - Here is the preview for Episode 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK8iQeq287A In fact, you already watched it after the ED of Episode 7. - - - - - - - - - - To get prepared for Episode 8, you might want to familiarize yourself with a brand-new character. Here is the basic background information about her, but there are no actual plot spoilers inside this spoiler tag: - - - - - - - - - - Here is what I think the mini-synopsis says. Warning: There are some plot spoilers here. |

| Funny episode, not bad character Natsume. With new characters, shown today, I definitely lost the number. Not bad even the plot that gives us a little truth in this world, we all fall in love with the characters of the stories that we face, whether they are books, video games or movies. |
 |
| Lovely episode, especially that ending was nice! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| Erena and Chloe voice acting is still horrendous as ever but other than that it was pretty nice and heartwarming story, one of better ones here in this series. |
| Fairly simple motivation for our group of girls this episode: help Natsume continue her novel. I found it humorous how pretty much every girl who read it had the same emotional responses. In the end I guess the story was too good to end...at least on screen. :P |
| Funny episode. >Everyone pass the story around and then let's tell Natsume to make a sequel xD |
 |
| BOK CHOY DECREES NO WAIFUS ARE LEFT SAD, DAMMIT! Yeah, the ending was pretty cheap. I was this close to empathizing with Natsume there, as I related to that feeling of emptiness after writing something that engrosses you for as long as it did. But that only works if you let bygones be bygones. Undoing what probably had to be the most poignant moment of the show is a reprehensible offense that will not be forgotten. Perhaps this was all part of Bok Choy's nefarious scheme. Who knows? On a side note, at least this episode gave us some cute material for reaction images that we can make use of when formulating our shameless shitposts on 4chan and what not. Mich666 said: Erena and Chloe voice acting is still horrendous as ever but other than that it was pretty nice and heartwarming story, one of better ones here in this series. Chloe's is just a caricature of European pronunciation and grammatical mistakes of Japanese stuff, I wouldn't say it's "horrendous". Even if it was, I'd think it'd be more in service of her character rather than an grievance of mine. |

| Why do people have such bad taste? Anime isn't subjective anymore. |
KatoBytes said: It's more annoying than horrendous, and I find the faked accent quite cringeworthy. A random french girl with no voice acting experience and minimal Japanese knowledge reading off a script would've been the far better option. But as that didn't work out, they should've just let her speak proper Japanese.Mich666 said: Erena and Chloe voice acting is still horrendous as ever but other than that it was pretty nice and heartwarming story, one of better ones here in this series.

| I like when they have an anime within an anime like that. |
 |
| Even Miss Monochrome become a fan of Natsume. The episode was kinda stupid but i like Natsume. She is actually has a personality and she is very cute. Annoying blond girls are still annoying. |
GvendolineMay 16, 2019 11:31 AM
| Well maybe the author needs to focus more on actually doing a story for that instead of making a story in the anime xD |
 |
| Everyone loved Natsume's novel, even Miss Monochrome. :) I'm glad they were able to help her with the story. And now everyone is anxiously waiting for the sequel. I'm sure it'll be great. |

| I love this episode, I was actually interested on the novel, if it exists I might read it. Sea monkey is a monkey that lives in the sea. |
 |
| This is my favourite episode so far. It spoke to me as both a reader and a writer. How exciting to feel the thrill of reading a good story or having someone like what you’ve written! |
