"Of course, this is our new dream."

"Too."

Ritsu Tainaka couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself:

Only a fool like that would actually make this their goal.

I can't speak for others, but for myself, I'm probably already at the peak of my life.

However, it would be quite interesting to go to the Taipei Arena.

Chapter 185 The world must be made aware of this.

"As expected of Musashino, K-On! Season 2 is amazing! I'm blown away!"

"The rhythm and atmosphere are great, the songs are great, and the storyline is great too..."

"Not only K-On!, but Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun and Sakura Chiyo are also super interesting. Nozaki-kun and Sakura Chiyo are such a great couple, with the cutest height difference."

"Full of plot twists and jokes, many of which are brand new jokes, it's so funny it'll make your stomach hurt."

Sitting in front of his computer at night, with no interest in writing, Izumi Masamune opened his browser and found that many places online were discussing K-On! and Nozaki.

Even in the few chat groups I regularly use, the discussion revolves around these two anime series. I couldn't resist typing a long message and clicking send:

[Why is no one discussing Eromanga Sensei? This anime is really fun! Sagiri is so cute, I adore her!]

Soon, numerous replies followed.

“I admit that Sagiri is cute, but with Sakura Chiyo, Yui, Azusa and others ahead of her, she has no competitive advantage at all.”

"A beautiful girl who stays at home, and siblings who are not related by blood, this plot is so old-fashioned."

"Having a sister and a house, and both parents dead, this trope is too old. Nine out of ten light novels are like this."

"The plot wasn't engaging enough; after watching the beginning, I knew exactly how it would end."

"To be honest, Eromanga Sensei is quite interesting, but compared to Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, the plot is too weak, and the excellent art style cannot change the thin character design. Compared to K-On!, which has the popularity of the first season, it is even less comparable."

"I don't like Sagiri because I'm also a shut-in, and seeing her is like seeing myself."

"Sagiri is actually quite good, but the male lead, Izumi Masamune, is too useless. It seems that he has a real-life counterpart. I've also read the work of the same name, Silver Wolf, which is extremely boring and has no appeal whatsoever."

"What is Silver Wolf? Does this light novel actually exist?"

"Yes, you can try asking at bookstores. However, I suggest you don't read it, or you'll definitely regret it. You'd be better off buying Nozaki's shoujo manga with that money."

Does Yumeno Sakiko really exist in real life?

"Of course! This shoujo manga is quite interesting, and Yumeno-sensei is known for her delicate psychological descriptions."

"Oh...! How does it compare to the parts mentioned in the anime?"

"Scenes that appeared in the anime are also in the manga, especially in the first few issues, the visuals are exactly the same. However, the art style isn't as good."

"That's understandable, after all, the character designs for the anime were drawn by Shiina Mashiro."

Seeing the numerous slanders against him and Sagiri, Izumi Masamune gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do.

Because what those people said was true.

Lost in thought, he realized the topic had returned to Nozaki's side, and he couldn't help but speak again:

[Eromanga Sensei is really fun. If you watch it a few more times, you'll definitely discover how adorable Sagiri is.]

The next moment, many people frantically tagged him, causing the previous comments to be instantly deleted.

"Is this guy crazy? He's blatantly lying."

"If *Eromanga Sensei* had been released before October of last year, it would have been quite competitive. With Sagiri's excellent character designs and Shiina-sensei's outrageous art style, it would definitely have been one of the top anime, easily comparable to *Masamune-kun's Revenge* from July of last year. But now... well..."

"Everything has to be compared. Izumi Sagiri just can't compare to Yui and Chiyo. That's what I said! If you're so capable, come and hit me through the internet!"

"I like white hair, but Sagiri's personality just doesn't appeal to me. Sorry, I don't get what's so good about her."

“I bet you 100 yen that Eromanga Sensei’s sales will definitely not be as good as K-On! and Nozaki-kun’s, maybe even two or three times less.”

hateful!

Izumi Masamune really wanted to type out a heated argument with them, but in the end he sighed and helplessly clicked the X in the upper right corner.

Not only the anime, but the sales of the light novel of Eromanga Sensei also fell far short of those of Hachiman Hikigaya's Oregairu and Chuunibyou.

The scriptwriter for all three anime series is the same person, Hayase, so there shouldn't be that much difference in the plot.

Looking at it this way, the difference lies entirely with the authors.

There are several floors between me and Teacher Da.

Looking back, when he went to Musashino with Nozaki to assist with the animation production, Nozaki could easily offer many useful suggestions, while he could only keep making useless comments like "Wow, that's amazing" and "I see."

"Eh......"

It's all because I'm too useless, thinking about all sorts of nonsense all day, which drags down Sagiri's reputation.

I'm so incredibly upset!

He had actually had many worries before.

For example, after the anime aired, many people witnessed Sagiri's charm and discovered that she actually existed in real life and would compete with them for her affections, instantly increasing the number of rivals by hundreds of thousands.

But to my surprise, this animation didn't create much of a stir; instead, it just blended into the crowd.

After much hesitation, Izumi Masamune finally went upstairs and knocked on Sagiri's door.

"Sagiri, I'm sorry."

"What's wrong?" Izumi Sagiri asked, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Um...you must have seen the online reviews of the anime Eromanga Sensei, right?"

"Hmm... 8.1 points, that's not low."

Izumi Masamune didn't know which website's rating she was referring to. He paused for a moment before realizing that he and she might have had a slight disagreement.

"I'm not reconciled! Sagiri, I'm extremely unwilling to accept this."

Izumi Masamune took a deep breath, clutched his clothes tightly to his chest, and slowly said:

"Even though they are both produced by Musashino and have the same level of art style, the reactions are completely different."

"K-On! Season 2 was as excellent as ever. Judging from this, there will definitely be a third season next year."

"Nozaki-kun has received a great response, and there's a lot of discussion about it online. Influenced by the anime, Nozaki's manga sales will definitely increase significantly. After that, there should be a second season."

"But our animation didn't make a splash at all, and it's likely to sink without a trace. There's no chance of a second season."

"I'm really not reconciled!"

Izumi Sagiri listened quietly to his complaints before speaking softly:

"The 12 episodes of the animation have already been completed, and it's impossible to make any changes now."

"That might be true for animation, but there are also OVAs and short films included with Blu-rays. If they are well-made, they can gradually improve the reputation of the content."

Izumi Masamune clenched his fist and said very seriously:

"So, I plan to take a two-month leave and stay at home in seclusion."

"I'll discuss it with Hayase after I've written a great script."

"This anime absolutely cannot just disappear like this. Sagiri is the cutest little sister in the world, and I must make the world realize that!"

Izumi Sagiri blushed slightly and couldn't help but mutter, "Idiot brother."

"For the next two months, we'll just eat takeout."

"Do you have enough money?"

"That's enough. Although the light novel sales can't compare to Hachiman's Oregairu and Chuunibyou, the two volumes combined still have around 300,000 copies sold. Now that the anime is airing, it should boost sales even further."

Previously, with the confirmed anime adaptation, Hachiman Hikigaya's online recommendations, and the fact that it was illustrated by the same illustrator as Chuunibyou, the novel actually sold quite well.

Compared to myself last year, and many of my industry peers, I've already achieved a great deal.

If this were just an ordinary light novel, Izumi Masamune would probably be satisfied.

The problem is that this is an anime made using Sagiri's real name, real appearance, and real personality, so it's no different from a live-action drama.

Therefore, he found it completely impossible to accept his current situation of becoming just another face in the crowd.

"You decide for yourself," Sagiri said softly.

"I'm sorry, Sagiri, I'll definitely do my best!"

Sagiri's ranking shouldn't be so low.

This year's cutie queen has to be Sagiri!

Chapter 186 The friendship between girls is truly wonderful.

In the second week of July, many new anime series have already released their first episodes.

Among them are K-On! Season 2 and Nozaki-kun, which were praised to the skies as soon as they started airing, as well as Eromanga Sensei, which received good reviews.

Naturally, there are also many poorly received animations with terrible visuals, boring plots, chaotic pacing, and inappropriate music.

Viewers have discerning eyes; they can tell whether an animation is good or bad from the very first episode.

While many anime can reverse their ratings later through plot improvements, most of them are consistently poor from the first episode to the last.

The anime series known as "Nine Emperors" (九皇) is one of them. The full title of the anime is "Nine Dragons Overlord and the Millennium Princess" (九龙霸王和千年皇女).

In the afternoon, upon hearing that a supporting character in this season's Musashino anime had specifically requested that she be in charge of the role, Karasuma Chitose excitedly came to the company.

While waiting, with nothing to do, I suddenly remembered the first episode of the anime "Nine Emperors," in which I played one of the female leads. It aired on TV late last night.

He sat down on the sofa, took out his phone, and planned to check online comments about himself.

Although the animation felt terrible during the dubbing, what if the production team suddenly had a burst of inspiration?

Of course, she hasn't seen the finished animation yet.

Because it's a late-night anime, even though it's my first time playing the female lead, as a voice actress who's very particular about her appearance, I still have to try to avoid staying up late.
