It's great to see Maya getting in the swing of things, and understanding that yes, of course there's more to a character than just their actions and lines written in the script!

Kind of sad to see that so many members of the troupe are competitive in such a destructive way. That sort of competition between people can't be productive, I think... :\

That was a bit extreme having her live as Beth for a week at the cost of the other girls thinking that Maya was going crazy or something.

Hoo hoo. I'm happy to see Glass no Kamen threads a bit more active (even if it's just one more post). I'm guessing that the new release of those goofy OVAs are giving it a bit more attention.

@Parfaited - Yeah, these anime does have a bit too many "extreme" moments. Especially whenever it comes to the witch-looking lady handling things. I never liked her character. 0.o

I'm starting to think the instructors are all idiots :s How can they be effective teachers if they can't even see the brilliance of Maya's acting?

Maya got rid of her date after the play was over rather smoothly.

Sayaka was seriously over acting, guess that's the style the teacher prefers.

Thought the way Maya was acting in the end was a bit creepy.

To live as a character with only cats and knitting must've been tough, but I bet it will produce one helluva performance for Mr Tashiro by Maya.

Saya is in shit.

I hope Tsukikage doesn't choose Maya for lead roles in every play they perform. It would really take a toll on some of Maya's new friends, and I actually enjoy their presence compared to other characters. Though to be fair, they also need to meet a certain standard of acting on par with Maya's.

To that extent I understand Sayaka's frustration with not getting the role. I can imagine how insulting it would feel to have something that means so much to you snatched away by a complete newbie. Her acting wasn't bad either, but she doesn't have the drive to invest herself in the character as much as Maya does. I just hope this doesn't turn her into a toxic person.

Aside from all that, I wonder if we'll get some romance? I've always been a sucker for romantic elements in anime. I just can't help it!!

Good episode regardless. I like how Maya doesn't always automatically "get it" despite being naturally talented in acting.

As stated above, Sayaka was overacting. Not that the same couldn't happen with Maya's method. I can think of several method actors who are also guilty of the same.

This series has sucked me in now, it's exciting to see how things unfold, even if the cliffhangers aren't as dramatic as they make them sound "Will Maya be thrown out of the troupe??? Will she?? With 45 episodes to watch her spend her days at the restaurant!!"
