Yuuhi's mom is pretty understandable, like she's still a rookie, so its not like she's asking her to quit an established 10 year career. She's only been at it what? 1-3 years? at most.
I think most Moms would want their kid to quit if they found out they were getting stalked.

The logical thing to do would have to just have her transfer school when she was exposed. It makes zero sense she wouldn't do that, of course people will be stalking her.

Well, they took the silly and corny road. I'm glad we got this out of the way at least.
Yubisaki being one of their most fervent fans was a funny surprise, given how harshly she treats them at work. She's going to be teased endlessly by Yasumi, there's just no going back to how it was after this.

The relationship between idols/actresses and their fans in Japan strikes me as really weird. I'm sure they're playing it up on this show for the dramatic effect, but how much are they playing it up?
They could do all sorts of things on their radio show with the two different personas. On You Can't Do That On Television we had "opposite sketches" where we flipped everything around. They could also do bits where the two personas got into arguments with each other, where the girls would have to switch back and forth between characters on the fly. It could be fun! |

Red eyed girl is a certifiable lunatic. Like the main two were already somewhat bewildered by her irate hostility and I wouldn't blame them if they were moreso now. But I doubt it.
The mother is also insane going through with this bet. Two interesting characters trudging through a sewage-esque episode.

Definitely knocking like 2 pts at least off the final score of this show for this.

We see fans defending they oshis against haters
Thought it was too much think this two will cause this level of drama for reveal herself as autentic, make a little more sence if remember their fans are mostly teeanger who are easy to angry. And the blondie seiyuu should had aiming for both

Another thing to keep in mind is that Yuhi's thoughts are hidden from us. I'm pretty sure she stayed behind because she was very concerned for her, thinking she'd be depressed, so when she saw her act like that, she snapped. Yuhi has always been very socially awkward, there's no way someone like her would be able to tell Yasumi was putting up a front. I also very much doubt she was upset Yasumi was cast as her rival, what she was upset about is that she didn't share the news with her.

Funny thing, before I sat down to watch anime this evening, I'd been thinking that when my writing is in the flow it feels like I can write forever, and when it's not working it feels like I'll never eke out another word again. It's like that for all creative efforts, and Utatane is clearly in a "not working" part of the cycle. When you're young (or even not so young), you believe that someday you'll learn how to be "on" all the time. Utatane looks at all those veteran actors and imagines they never go through down cycles anymore, when of course they all do. One of my favorite quotes about writing came from William Goldman, who won two Oscars and also wrote both the book and the movie versions of The Princess Bride. He confessed that even after all that, he still had to build up his confidence before every new project, to convince himself that he was capable of doing it. The ups and downs never go away. They're a part of the creative life. |

I found it funny that her agent said she believes Yasumi is suited for villain roles because I don't think I've ever heard Miku Ito play a villain. I'm no expert on her but I've only ever heard her play nice girls.

I actually thought she sounded bad, but in a "good actress playing a bad actress" way. |

I always kinda hated the whole "rivals" trope not to mention how homoerotic it usually plays... though I guess that sort of works in a supposedly yuri work.
I guess the solution to casting the entirely non-villainous Miku Itou as a seiyuu playing a villainous role is to just not show any of her acting. Kind of disappointing but then again the whole series is so that's just one more thing.
