The conflicts in this show are so stupid. Eriri's being a brat and basically saying Tomoya's not allowed to like anyone else's doujins ever, and also saying that he's dick for even introducing another girl to a game she introduced him to in the first place, which is... excessively ridiculous. Then Tomoya's only comeback to this is basically "yeah, well you ignored me once when we were 5" which is a whole new level of fucking moronic unto itself.

Real talk though, as much of a brat as Eriri is, Tomoya's such a flavour of annoying stuck up prick that I'm surprised she ever stopped ignoring him.

Well, I'm glad things were settles, more or less. And happy that Eriri appeared plenty, despite the fact it was arguing for the most part.

But God dammit Utaha, why'd you have to say something about it?

Utaha and those legs tho. O.O

Eriri fanservice and a little bit of drama after that. Their reasoning wasn't that difficult to catch. Even so, it was nice to see them getting along even when they said that they're still not apologizing to each other. I like Eriri's resolve of the matter.

I love the work of the seiyuus, this episode flew so fast. Eriri and Tomoya have unpleasant memories, but that's why their relationship is different.

Utaha and her accurate "Fourth Wall" line was perfectly timed. Impressive as ever, as well as her thighs though. =D

The fanservice for Eriri was beautifly done too. Hawt Damn!!!

I guess the argument between Eriri and Tomoya was inevitable. Tomoya's comebacks were a bit weak at times, but he was right to criticize Eriri for her selfish reasons for Tomoya praising other doujinshi's works and not her work too.

Despite them not apologizing to each other, they seem to have found some middle ground where they can put their differences aside and focus on more important objectives now. =)

Blessing software = Megumi software. Clever thinking Tomoya, but with Utaha around, you're not getting away with that one mow! XD

Eriri won many points in this episode, not only for fanservice scenes, but for all the sentimentality that showed, I had not seen her very highlighted however now she will draw much more attention

It seems that a lot will still happen between Tomoya and Eriri, but I liked the way with that a phrase he changed the Eriri behavior, and like a punch to demonstrate the determination, she grew as a character ..

Katou and Utaha were also good participation, Utaha with the strange attitudes and Katou that with an expression unusual already draws much attention

Looking forward to the final episodes ..

At least a rare sensible post. I'd add to it by saying that every time I bother to check out anything from this show I'm struck in particular by just how much worse the art quality looks compared to the LN's artwork which as far as I can tell is the only remotely well done thing about Saekano as a franchise period. I mean granted you can't expect an LN adaptation TV series to be animated at that level of detail outside of maybe something done by Sunrise Studio 8, but even by A-1 standards the drop off is steep and makes the likes of iDOLM@STER look like a 1:1 conversion in comparison. That's nothing to say for the animation quality which as is often the case with A-1 is inconsistent and all over the goddamn place and quite often within the same episodes. This episode in particular seemed to be animated at a lower clipped frame rate or something, but then some episodes you'll have things like a character putting on pantyhose at high frame rate for no discernible or logical reason or for them to attempt a similar shot in this episode and have it come off at an awkward frame rate. You pretty much sum up what's pretty obviously wrong with the story and character content itself though so need to go into detail on that aside from noting that it's just really trivial and bland bog standard LN fare from the subject matter right down to how the characters dialogue is written so awkwardly and unnaturally. I've often hated the translation of dialogue based LN stuff to the animation medium because aside from it often being boring and curiously assured of it's own clever wittiness pretty much nobody talks like LN characters tend to...like ever.

Aki isn't a wuss after all. He was able to talk against Eriri. She deserves all that! I mean, Aki shouldn't apologize. After what she did to Aki during their childhood days, she HAS to apologize to him. He protected her or their friendship, just to be shunned by her. B*tch much?!

Go Utaha! That bed scene! hahaha!

That argument had me surprisingly interested. What's even more surprising is that I found myself agreeing with Tomoya.

A like Eriri a lot more after this episode. Same with Tomoya for shouting back at her.

Utaha at the beginning was fun, even if it was just for laughs. I don't understand how she got into Tomoya's bed without anyone knowing. Guess Kato just didn't care.

That said, everything panned out just like the story pretty much. I find it hilarious that he had to borrow that "princely" outfit from Rouge en Rouge. Talk about using you're competition, eh? Then going back to their old school to duke it out was great as well.

Eriri really had no excuse whatsoever to blame Tomoya for his choices and views. As an Otaku, he has every right to like whatever and whoever's work that he wants. If he doesn't like yours, then either you draw something better, or you give up. You don't bitch about how he should pick you based on "hard work you put in" and "length of time having known a person", her argument had zero logic. I'd never really liked Eriri's attitude much, but after she refused to apologize, my opinion of her just fell to new depths.

Two more episodes.... lets see how much they actually adapt...

a sentimental and emotional episode for both Eriri and Tomoya, especially their past revealed, i think this episode told us how important old memories encouraging us for better future, even we can learn from bad memories that ever happened and learn to try something more precious for our beloved persons

funny scene when Utaha came again next to Tomoya on his bed and sniffing Tomoya's blanket when she was alone xD

and of course, "Megumi Software" scene was priceless too xD

two more episode, there is no sign from Michiru, I hope she won't remain only on Episode 0 ..

May have been Eriri's episode, but Utaha still stole the show.

The waking up next to Aki in bed & rolling around in his sheets.

Slapping herself and getting flustered when he complimented her.

All of it too cute.

The fanservice was alright. They threw in a lot of it, but it doesn't matter a whole lot when Eriri's body is even worlds below Izumi. If we get a scene like that with Izumi I'd be ecstatic. Or ANOTHER Utaha scene. I could never complain about that.

The argument between Aki and Eriri was pretty good. Though it was a bit nonsensical at some points. It was kind of intense, but it still doesn't come close to being as good as Hayami Saori's screaming emotional monologue as Hatoko from Inou battle.

The ending pre credits with Aki unknowingly naming the circle after Kato was hilarious. And the post credits scene with Eriri firing shots at Izumi was good too.

So, I noticed a recurring theme underlying both confessions in ep6 and this episode.

Utaha had started to love him because he loved her work, which she wrote with all her soul, as if the work was projection of herself. Then she got rejected because he loved her dedication for writing novels but in his side the work and the creator of it is completely separated. He was disappointed when she asked him to read the last part of her novel, it's not unprofessional as a writer.

Notice he used non-polite form Japanese until this event, now he uses polite form. In his mind she was an superstar author he just wanted to talk as a fan boy, but he lost some respect for her talent so he now talks to her as if she is mere a senpai in his school. She was still unprofessional in front of him as she couldn't handle the interview with him.

By Kato's entrance she was very annoyed, as Kato had no talent and creating skill at all compared to her. But when he came to her to talk to rewriting the game's plan she understood he was just interested in Kato as his creator's view. She rediscovered what she loved about him was this enthusiasm to what he loves. Also she regained her pride as a creator realizing he was still trusting her talent for writing. Now she wants to be loved not through her work and talent, but by herself as a person. "Welcome to the world of the creator" is HER acknowledgement for him being just an creator in nature.

In the same sense but with slightly different flavor Izumi took part of Kato for Eriri's confession. Eriri complained for his admiration to Izumi, and thought he loved Izumi's talent and her work and felt abandoned albeit years of dedication to doujinshi.

However he didn't apologized for that, didn't distort his sense and love toward creator's talent and work, then required her to compete on the same ground of a creator. This time she understood and admitted that he viewed her creator's talent and her osananajimi relationship completely separately. Though she was denied as a creator at this moment he didn't abandoned herself as an osananajimi friend, and still encouraged to do more as a creator. This was very happy for her.

Those confession's dialog are somewhat obscurely scripted especially with eye-catching fan services, but I found it is great and clever when looked carefully inside the characters.

Eriri looked stunning this episode.

I almost cried during the arguing scene. Eriri's a nice girl but she just lets her emotions take control over her too easily. Her heart is in the right place.

Katou's relationship with Tomoya really seems to be like an actual girlfriend like the way she cooked for him, called over help when she saw he was in trouble, saw him off as he went to get Eriri back, it's nice.

Tomoya named the circle...Megumi Soft lol. She is his "main" heroine after all.

If anyone wins in the end, I hope it's Eriri or Katou.

Utaha - "Because i had zero screen time in the last episode, obviously...."

I really like Eriri and Tomoya story -
"Shes a nerdy girl waiting for her otaku prince to arrive in his white
itasha and sweep her off her feet!..."

charming ending to this episode to :)

wasnt there suppose to be 1 more girl?

Wow can't believe there'd be an episode where Utaha is outshining Kato. She's just so marvelous in this episode. Her deadpan jokes remind me of Akari from Chaika and the way she smelled Tomoya's bed sheet was just lol XD also that laugh...

I mean okay, Kato is still the best girl but Utaha can hold her own even compared to any harem members from other anime. She's like the amalgamation of several awesome characters made into a unique flavor of her own.

Maybe they are taking pity to the otakus and portray at least that there is still some tiny bit of hope in them. If not hope maybe a tiny bit of good attibutes?
