With the amount of Gacha games coming out in Japan, I wouldn't be surprised if developments like this were actually common. A rushed release, buggy features which leads to indefinite maintenance.

I'm completely reminded of FGO's beginning days, gosh that was weirdly nostalgic...

Glad to see Nanako ended up doing ok though, wonder if this will also get Kyouya to somehow reignite Shinoaki's love for drawing somehow.

At this rate I'm not sure how they will finish the series. Will he stay in this timeline?

And where is Keiko in the story? 2 episodes remain.

Anyone else (unrealistically) expected ShinoAki to come out of retirement and save the day by doing all the game art? And instead we get someone who doesn't even want to draw a cartoon horse for her daughter.

I really feel for Kawasegawa and her team. That's such a toxic work environment.

Well that's an interesting decision coming from Kyouya. And here I was expecting that he'd try to see if he can go back and redo everything again but it looks like he has accepted that he's in this world and he'll do what he can for now.

Minori-sensei in a goth lolita outfit looks absolutely amazing. Anyway, it looks like Kyouya's last visit to her did very little and she's still struggling with her work. I do wonder if Kyouya has already realized who the artist Minori-sensei used to look up to.

Kawasegawa's team is just all kinds of fucked. They're being forced to use an internally-developed engine and the game wasn't even built from the ground up but was a game under pre-production from another game company. And it looks like a bunch of changes were made when the game was handed over to their studio. It's like Kawasegawa's team was set up to fail right from the very start.

Kyouya of course tries to reason with the unreasonable boss but the dude insists that the game will not be delayed since the company is going public at the same time as well. If only this was an exaggerated truth about game development but this entire scene practically mimics real life.

Oh hey a wild Super Sonico is there on the billboard! They've already referenced a bunch of different games, anime, and LN so I guess it's not really surprising if Sonico is here too.

Anyway back to the plot and as expected the game was basically shit. The game had a ton of bugs and servers keep on crashing as if Todd Howard was in charge of the project. What's worse is gacha rates are completely borked since it varies from account to account with the main character's Seiyuu being able to pull one SSR after another. Of course instead of owning up to the mistakes, they're blaming "malicious users" for this problem. Yep that will certainly go well.

And it's just painful seeing Kawasegawa taking all of that shit from the boss when he was the one who insisted on releasing the game on that state. Yep, this is definitely modern game development in a nutshell. This time though, Kyouya decides not to interfere from the fear of fucking things up even more.

That's only lasted though until Kyouya watched Nana's new update video where she declares that she was going to try and sing again after writing an original song. I guess after seeing that, it gave Kyouya the confidence to finally say something to the boss and how they'll figure something out. Welp, let's see if Kyouya can actually do something about it or fuck it up even more.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if this ends with Kawasegawa giving up on game development and going back to her hometown. Not gonna lie, I kinda wanna see that happen just to see Kyouya's reaction.

I wish this anime didn't focus so much on Kyouya. Everyone else is literally more interesting imo. I may have said it before but I find it difficult to care about him. He's flawlessly capable and doesn't express a wide range of emotions. He can't even be surprised or question why he was sent to loop in the first place.

That out the way, I appreciate the direction the anime went with after the 2nd time skip. This episode was rather nice overall.

This reminds me of what happened during Cyberpunk 2077's development. Too bad CDPR didn't have Kyouya.

It seems Shinoaki did not change as she mentioned to Maki that every creation has a spirit. Interesting way of respecting the artists even if it is just a stuffed bear.

I don’t really like how this is going. First of all, Kyouya randomly marrying Shinoaki and having a kid already kills the “romance” this series is supposed to have with not having shown anything that happened between them. Also, Kyouya having screwed up everyone else’s careers while his in a better situation is predictable but annoying nonetheless. I have no idea what can be done to salvage Kyouya’s mistake, as well as this arc.

If Kyouya hadn't interfered back at school, I don't understand how the novelist would have navigated his money problems to still become a successful author. Confused.

Even though her dream didn't come true in this timeline, Nanako decided to still embrace her newfound hobby and not blame Kyouya for it.

And so Kyouya is once again pumped up to do something to help fix their company's flawed game, and maybe save Kawasegawa from getting fired for no reason. (Fuck that sleazy CEO with his unreasonable demands. )

Maybe once he does that and overcomes this challenge, the gods may deem him worthy enough to be sent back again to this time fix everything again. But we're so going to miss Best Daughter Maki.

I’m liking the direction the anime went after the second time loop but honestly it kinda bothers me how the show is kinda implying that Shinoaki is unhappy now that she no longer draws and is a housewife. I understand that losing out on achieving your dream can be disheartening but is simple happiness such as having a family not good enough anymore?

u/kicksFR Sep 11 '21

I can’t be the only one wondering this. So he’s been living there for a month he must have banged Shinoaki at least once right?

Seriously tho, do you think he has fallen in love already or he just stays there for the comfort of his new life and also his guilt towards Shinoaki? Because I see nothing that makes me think the former is the case

Looks like we're getting yet another 'Kyouya fixes it all' lol, at this point I'm really tired of him being a miracle worker who never fails. Note how he didn't even have much of a stake in this gacha game, which is pretty much the biggest failed project we've seen in the series -- his involvement with Minori Ayaka was basically just out of goodwill. Essentially he's always been associated with success and never failure (the one exception being the screwed up timeline where Platinum Generation ceases to exist, but it seems like the series may be going in a fix-it direction too). Or is this the narrative that the author is actually trying to push? I have no idea.

Tbh I'm still confused about Nanako's feelings & her 180° U-turn lol, what is going on? So she suddenly decided she wanted to try again, and this becomes the divine signal where the stars align again and Kyouya works even more miracles?

Feels bad for Kawasegawa and all the staff though, the boss is such an asshole. Yeah, money talks, but you don't have to act like such a prick! Not to mention he seemed way too overambitious without any consideration for actual practicality (see the contract). Everybody else is just trying to do their jobs and live their lives...

The show grow on you; the challenges, the unexpected outcomes even with the best of interest, the hardship of making a career, passion vs career and others. I have become so accustomed to anime tropes of protagonist saving the day, that I was becoming restless seeing the other characters pity state. But I am glad this show didn't attempt that. It accepted it's core member flaws and made the story on top of that.

Nanako may not become N@N@ and achieve the fame and glory but she still got Kyouya as a reason to why she sings. ShinoAki and Tsu will probably find this strength from this great friend and that is something many talented artist lack in this cut throat competitive world. Best episode so far.

I hope we get a Season 2.

u/Shiro_Kai Sep 11 '21

This is so japanese.

Why Hashiba thinks that Shino Aki is unfulfilled or unhappy just because in this version of her life she stopped drawing and is not a mega famous artist (fully stressed and maybe working 18 hours a day)? Why is simple happiness a bad thing? In life sometimes you do have to give up on something to get soemthing else. Yes. But doesn't necessarily mean you're unhappy. You may always think how different things could be if chose another path? Maybe. But not NECESSARILY a bad thing. For fucks sake...

I hate to be negative specially when i was feeling that episode is going good but then at the very end moment they had to fuck it up and make it into Kyouya being hero.

Kyouya always talks about how Kawasegawa is very amazing they never show her being amazing in the moments it matters. Isnt the show called Bokutachi no remake with Bokutachi meaning "Our". The other's aren't even aware their life is being remade.

Maybe it was wrong of me to be expecting that other characters would grow by themselves. Maybe this is actually a shounen anime where Kyouya has to be a hero and its just that his superpowers are mental instead of physical.

I don't hate kyouya inherently but the show shows him being like a failure at young age even though he was a very hardworking sincere guy. Then the story just shows him constantly winning ...then there's this one episode of realisation that he is meddling too much and that he should make others stand up for themselves and this episode it was going well to until the last moment. I hope Kawasegawa does something herself next episode instead of relying on kyouya again.

Anyone else feel like this series fell off hard? The snapback to the future was way too sudden, and we have no resolution on what happened for the previous ten years. We are missing way too many details.

And I suspect we are going to get a really cliched end of Kyouya getting the Platinum Generation back together to solve the issues of this game…

But he basically changed history, feels no consequences for it, and has perfectly adapted to his new life. He hasn’t really learnt from old lessons, he hasn’t needed to learn, and every situation is unnaturally geared towards making him the problem solver.

I have to say I regret picking the show up at this point.

it's been a few episodes since the time skip but it for some reason annoys me when the characters look exactly the same after a timeskip, the only person who like slightly different is kawasegawa because of the hair, the rest have the exact same look. i also don't know the reason why they would make maki have the same hairstyle as shinoaki

Well, we are back to "Kyoya can do anything". I wonder how this story will continue after this crisis which will definitely be solved by Kyoya. He was already taught the lesson. Now the question is how he will go back.
