Kaetan desu! (*≧▽≦)
Chitose goes into an Animate store (an actual popular anime retail franchise in Japan) to check out how the series is doing and bumps into Koto and Yae. Although she is so pleased with having hit a 10,000 mark from just the single for the opening song, the anime is doing badly in sales. Everyone else is trying to put this bad reputation of the anime behind them and move onto greater things but Chitose is more attached to the show as it’s lead heroine and therefore, isn’t convinced that it was all bad.
It’s the final recording session and Kuzu is speaking the creator’s editor. The creator’s side is concerned with how far the anime distanced itself from the light novel in an episode, but the staff are overworked and are behind schedule. If they began making corrections now, not only would they fall even further behind, the final episode would end up being a recap.
Some time later, Chitose, Koto and Yae go to Comiket to hand out autographed postcards to fans who have pre-ordered the Blu-Ray. A few hundred fans show up, but it proves to be not much compared to another event that has Momoka at the forefront of it. During a financial meeting, Kuzu throws Towada under the bus and then later apologizes for it and then two of them head out to a bar where Kuzu says that he has a secret plan to squeeze in the recently announced second season of Kusure.
Gojo arrives home to find Chitose in tears. She watched the post-broadcast of the Comiket event and got nothing but nasty comments from the people who were online at the time. Gojo tells her that she shouldn’t be upset (well, she brought it on herself) and that she should read some surveys from the event so that she can improve herself. Chitose however, refuses to read anything else that is bad about her and storms off.
Oh boy, what is Kuzu’s plan and will this really end up being kuzu (trash)? See you guys for the next episode!

The Eve/Juliette storyline has been weird from the start. Almost like the writers didn’t know what to do with her character anymore. Her being almost pulled into the underworld has started to tip it over into the realm of just being a little too much. Now she’s seeing magic symbols on the cloth the magic stick was wrapped in that no one else can see. Nick hasn’t looked at the cloth since being healed by it, so it’s TBD whether or not her being a hexenbiest has anything to do with it, or it you need to be healed by the stick. I don’t think Grimm has jumped the shark with her just yet, but is getting fairly close.
That was the high point of this episode, the last ten or so minutes. When Renard and all of the S.E.R.T. team surrounded Bob’s repair shop was when the episode started to go somewhere and get exciting. But of course, that’s where it ended. It looks like they’re in the spice shop in the next episode, so I’m intrigued to see how they get out of Bob’s shop. And also just to see Nick-Renard beat up the real Renard. He’s had it coming for a while now.
Premiere date: May 5th
Paige, Binta, Tatiana, Marissa and India had my favourite looks. I didn’t hate what Krislian was wearing, but she didn’t step out of her sexy image at all. Even if she wore a short dress to look tall, if she wanted to get away from the type of sexy she’s been displaying so far, she should have worn something looser and more covered. Like what she wore at panel. Coryanne doesn’t seem to understand what the word eclectic means; her look was very uniform. Tatiana absolutely deserved to win the challenge.
It should have been obvious to me that Kyle would end up in the bottom two this week. The producers focused on her a lot more this episode than they have in the previous ones. And if years of watching ANTM has taught me anything, it’s that when someone gets a lot of attention in an episode – especially a lot more than usual – its very likely they’re going home. But she didn’t.
Her performance during the personal style challenge with Law and the photo shoot were quite indicative of her overall performance in the competition thus far. And it’s not enough anymore. The other girls are growing leaps and bounds and really pushing, whereas Kyle is just coasting along on her “cool” factor and not changing it up at all. She’s not putting in as much effort, it seems, as she could be. She does well and her photos are good, but that’s all that can be said about them. So far, she hasn’t been great.
Premiere date: March 17th
