Sekaiichi Hatsukoi 2: Episode 1 Summary and Review

[windbyte]

This is going to be my first time writing a review for an anime episode, so please bear with me. I know that a lot has been said and done about the first two episodes of Sekaiichi Season Two, but all the same, I'd like to start somewhere, and I think it's best at the beginning. I love this series so much that, well, I feel like I want to do so much

He has certainly found the perfect sequence of pushing Onodera's buttons to make him work and get the best results out of him. I believe that is the true meaning behind Takano's statement about an editor's job. Parelleling what he said in the first season, "if there's a hole to fill, stuff a diamond in there even if it's rough". Onodera, unfortunately, had this attitude of "this is good enough" whenever it comes down to the very last moment, while Takano believes he can still bring the best even when one only has the shortest amount of time left. This is probably what he wants to change in Onodera.I read it a bit differently. To me, while they're both hardworking and willing to go to great lengths for the results they want, Masa and Ritsu come from different perspectives/goals. Masa is the efficient/high quality oriented manager but Ritsu is the naive "everyone should/can be happy" person. Thus Masa could make the printer wait til last minute for the qualified materials but initially wanted to drop Mutou-sensei when it was too

Ah, yeah, I guess I wasn't able to say it well enough. I agree with what you said about both of them being hardworking, it's just that, compared with what onodera's thoughts were when he first entered in Episode one, he had changed by the time he was in charge of an author. I mean, of course he'd want to push for his author's hard work to be published! that's why I wrote "had this attitude" rather than "has this attitude". With regards to pushing buttons on Masamune's part though, you have to admit that he knows how to make Ritsu do really heavy things that other people probably wouldn't agree to so easily XD All he has to do is question Ritsu's ability and Ritsu is all "EFF I'LL DO IT I'LL SHOW YOU

The fact that he left the secure job he had on his father's company to make it on his own is the thing I love best about Onodera...along with the fact he kept the innocence he had when he used to watch Masamune from afar in the library...That is what makes him so lovable!I think Kondou Takashi does a great job in voicing him...
Nice review!
