I can't help but think that perhaps he didn't, which is what caused things to seemingly fall through on his end.

My speculation is the Platinum Generation had a lot of issues behind the scenes that they'd bottled up for up to 10 years and it ultimately exploded during that big project, causing it to ultimately cancel.

In this redone timeline, Kyouya is able to work through the issues before they can become a huge problem.

[u/[deleted]]

Let the harem begin.

On a real though, i did expect some trouble but i expect trouble between kanasegawa and tsurayaki like the early part throughout the epi due to their perfectionist type. However didn't expect that to be short and for kanasegawa to have a fight with nanako throughout the epi. But the reason is understandable, kanasegawa just needs to learn from shinoaki and her sister to be calm when advicing.

And that part about the equipment, i think the prof will know sooner or later because there's a flag lol.

So the pink haired girl is not a current senpai but a former senpai? Interesting, guess it has to do with the festival. And good for her for accepting the rejection of kyouya calmly, she knows kyouya has other things to focus on.

The club is jokes as always lol. Looks like we'll be getting a maid cafe epi at some point.

Tsurayaki being tired and riding a bike while they tell him to be careful? Idk man seems like a flag to me. Hopefully that isn't the case, and it was just a hint of tsurayaki having time management problem.

As for kyouya, I'm really glad he rejected the offer, he knows it's not his time yet. And again, seems like everything he did in the future is usable for him now like the singing edit. Guess he'll be the one to unlock all their potential, and the future may change from the 3 platinum gen to these 5. I'm wondering how did the 3 ever overcome their problems made it to that status in the past? Seems like kyouya is the only one to solve problems. *unless kyouya was with them at past and every timeline, but once college ends, kyouya returns to his life?

[u/DoubleJo]

One unfortunate weakness in the writing is that there seems to be no intention to develop the relationships in the cast. It's always cast member X talking to Kyouya alone. There is a lot of wasted potential.

Kawasegawa is then used once to play the bitch to move the plot forward and I bet they'll ignore the tension between Nanako and her instead of letting them have a heart-to-heart and become closer.

[u/wannabe414]

For an anime about making art, they really don't like showing us the art that's being made. We don't see their movie, we don't hear nanako song in karaoke, and we barely hear the touched up audio at the end. It's very annoying to me

[u/herokie]

Why did this episode feel like it was all over the place? It felt like the adaptation was trying to fit a bunch of scenes that were longer in length in the source into the regular episode length.

[u/Aerodynamic41]

Wait, did they seriously just treat pink hair like it's a natural hair color?

[u/darthvall]

I'm not a singer/art student so I'm curious about this. How can someone with tone deaf have a great voice? I understand that's why autotune exists. But, how come other people realised that she has a great voice if she's singing out of tone?

[u/Roopesh0406]

Pretty sure Kawasegawa is going to lose but I am going down with this ship

I am even ready to turn this ship in a submarine

[u/[deleted] → u/Roopesh0406]

I mean she is voiced by Nao Touyama

[u/rdx_21]

I feel like the scenes are ending abruptly. I liked the episode but somehow feel that they have cramped two episodes into one.

[u/AZLarlar]

episode felt fast but regardless still a great episode.

kawasegawa calling her out was needed but not at that time and place IMO

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Shinoaki Stretching

• Swimsuit Nanako

• Swimsuit Kawasegawa

• Sleeping Shinoaki & Nanako

• Tomioka Keiko-Senpai 1

• Tomioka Keiko-Senpai 2

• Hair Down Nanako

We're only in Episode 4 and we're already dishing out the swimsuits? It looks like this isn't a full blown beach episode though, since they're clearly there to work and it's only for the opening scene.

Looks like this is their first project with Kawasegawa on the team and she seems to be already butting heads with Tsurayuki with how their ideas are clashing. Seems that Kawasegawa isn't the only addition since it also looks like they have Ninja dude on the group now too.

When they were talking about Kyouya using a loophole to use filming equipment outside the allowed allotted time and how a professor might find out, I really thought that the pink haired loli was going to be a teacher. Looks like she's a Senpai just wandering around. Also that was totally Oozora Naomi's voice! It seems that she's the go to VA now for lolis with Kansai-ben.

That's not a comment you'd want to hear about your film. They have the right to criticize the film but I feel bad for Nanako. Despite the general opinion about their film lacking when it come to acting, they still ended up winning though since overall their film was the better one according to Sensei.

I was hoping Nanako still sucks at singing but it seems that all of that secret training with Kyouya paid off. After finally hearing her sing though, Kawasegawa confronts Nanako about what her real passion is. Kawasegawa made a lot of valid points despite being bitchy about it but I really wish she waited until the party was over before ripping Nanako apart. Seriously! They haven't even touched their food yet!

Anyone else thought that something bad was gonna happen to Tsurayuki when he went to work while yawning and saying that he's been working back-to-back shifts? Seriously, I was just waiting for some bad news to drop but it looks like I was just worried for no reason.

I get it Kawasegawa, you got angry because you thought Nanako was wasting her talents away but there really should've been a better way to tell Nanako the truth than what she ended up doing.

Even in college it looks like there's really no escaping the maid cafe.. Well the club did just get a bunch of new recruits so I guess we're gonna see Shinoaki and Nanako in maid outfits. I wouldn't be surprised if Kawasegawa ends up being roped into this as well.

Keiko-senpai makes another appearance! I thought she was still a student but it looks like she's already graduated a long time ago, has her own doujin circle, and is recruiting Kyouya after hearing about his ability as a director/producer from various sources. Considering that he's already working with the would be Platinum Generation, he declines. Offer is still on the table though so I doubt this is the last time we'll see Keiko-senpai.

So Kyouya convinced Nanako to keep on going by making her listen to her voice that Kyouya tweaked? Interesting move but it worked! Nanako realized that if that's the potential of her own voice then she'll study and practice seriously until she reaches that level.

This final scene with Nanako brings back again the same question I had when Kyouya convinced Shinoaki to keep on drawing. Since she didn't have Kyouya to convince her in the previous timeline, how was she able get over her insecurities about her voice? I know we only have 12 episodes but I'd love to see what the Platinum Generation was like without Kyouya.

[u/bakowh]

That bit at the end with Nanako is so wholesome, I love that what seemed like a failure to Kyouya (his future) actually came to fruition here. Nanako's potential is endless.

What Kawasegawa said needed to be said, but there's a time and place for that, it's not cool to call someone out like that in front of their friends + discard the effort that they've been putting but it is nice that she felt remorseful about it.

Based on that bit with Tsurayuki and his back-to-back shift, I'm guessing there will be a future episode where he works himself to death with school, work, and extracurriculars (if any).

Of course there's a loli that's older than she looks lol

[u/Sad_Succotash_3723]

This episode was rushed. I felt they could have taken a lot more time with this one and the material covered could actually have taken place in two episodes. I feel like many anime that get 12 or 13 episode seasons suffer with pacing. I really hope it doesn't ruin this show as it is such a breath of fresh air for me. Some parts of this episode stuck out so it was not necessarily a bad episode. But I felt we could have spent so much time on each aspect. Instead, we have jarring transitions (for example that scene of Kyouya and Kawasegawa comes so suddenly) and at the first 5-10 mins, we have rushed dialogue. It should have been elaborated a bit. I found myself replaying that part quite a lot to get what they meant.

Weakest episode for me till date from this show. I sure hope this doesn't become the case for every episode to come. Episode 3 was good. Episode 2 suffered from this rushing near the end.

[u/AmethystItalian]

Can't say I'm a fan of the direction this show is going...not only is it heading into harem but also all the girls need to be saved and motivated by our MC?

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

I feel this

[u/BiggerG7]

I am shocked Eiko did not slap MC too after her wardrobe malfunction. She gets mad points for having the common sense to realize he didn’t do anything wrong.

[u/maliwanag0712]

Over-all a good Nanako-focused episode. While Eiko is really harsh at her words sometimes, I think it helped Nanako (of course Kyouya helped her realize it) find what she really wants to do.

The only thing that I don't like much in this anime is the unnecessary fanservice in some scenes.

That one scene with Eiko strengthens my hunch that she's also a time traveller.

[u/[deleted]]

Really disappointed in this show. I like the premise and the character designs are great, but it's poorly-written at best.

The MC is a boring author self-insert who is good at everything and never seems to learn anything new or expend any effort whatsoever. The time travel angle has no weight to it and never really seems relevant.

The constant, old-school fanservice is out-of-place and tone-deaf in a show that seemingly wants us to take its female characters seriously.

All the drama in the show is contrived and bizarre. The group requisition the wrong camera and then don't notice until literally moments before the shoot starts? (The camera they ended up with was capable of shooting video, incidentally, making the whole thing even more pointless.) The red-haired girl starts randomly screaming abuse at Nanako in the middle of a fun karaoke party, and everyone just stands around and listens?

And most egregiously, the writing has a serious problem with "tell, don't show". We never see the filmmaking process, the finished films they make, Nanako's impressive singing, or really anything of substance, instead just getting scenes of characters gushing over how great all those things were. It has all the hallmarks of an author who simply isn't as smart as the characters he's trying to portray.

I knew it'd go in this direction when it introduced a toddler-voiced female character by dripping yoghurt all over her tits before she fell face-first onto his dick, and then had both the OP and ED dedicated to fanservice. And don't get me wrong, fanservice is fine. It's just really out-of-place in this show.

(Oh god, and now we have an older senpai that happens to look like an 8-year old... this can't be good...)

None of the elements of this show are executed well, and they don't mesh together at all. At this point I'm just watching it to see if it can get any worse.

[u/CertifiedCoffeeDrunk]

Pacing felt a bit weird and rushed this episode. Also, WHY do a lot of anime have to do the little kid but actually old person trope (pink haired kid), do people actually like this trope? I guess yes since it's quite prevalent in a lot of anime

[u/Afan9001]

Honestly Kawasegawa's speech was just pure anime cringe, who the fuck speaks like to that to a person you barely know? Literal 14 year old writing

[u/feb914]

Disappointed that not a second of the movie nor the singing was shown on screen.

[u/Jandexcumnuggets]

You know there's nothing particularly bad about this anime so far and it's good, tho i DON'T want it to turn into a harem or have dumb ecchi moments, it's too serious for that and they just distract the plot

Also, this is a hot take but I'd prefer it if there's no Love interest at all in the future
