| I feel bad for Haruo's mom though. She cares about his hobby enough to even know when a new game he's interested in is coming out and wanted to go watch SF2 with him but he's just a dick. |
| The feeling when is there is no one pointing out that the side commentator from the gaming tournament was the ramen guy in this episode. Moving on... This episode was so amazing I dunno what to say! It was simply outstanding! This anime had been really touching my heart since I am from Haruo and Oono's generation and grew up with those arcades. It hurt seeing Haruo's efforts and determination, and everyone who helped him all along not getting the results. T_T 5/5 |

| I thought I remembered the number wrong so I replayed it to see if it was actually 1952 like on the list, but NOPE LMAO /SOBS. I mean, realistically, he SHOULD fail, so I'm glad about the reasonable outcome, but we all secretly wished for that anime logic miracle to happen TT________TT Guess Haruo ain't gots that plot armor LOL /ugly cries. It okie tho. He did his best. <3 Love is such a powerful thing lulz. Wonder if he'll still confess his love to her or not tho :3 I'm glad he realized his feelings. Sorry, Hidaka >.<" I ship OnoXHaruo <3333333 The hand holding was kawaii~ |
tywhoppity said: This isn't even close to bad CGI. New Berserk adaptation's is.This is proof positive that good writing, direction and soundtrack work can overcome hard to watch CGI(which is either getting a lot better, or I'm getting used to it) :' ) 5/5. |
| This is the best episode till now. I severely dislike Ono's violent tendencies, but this show has been elevated by Haruki's great development and the addition of well utilized side characters. Seeing Haruo work hard actually inspires me to study hard myself. Seeing him struggle with choosing between his "gamer mind" and "serious/study mind" is very relatable. I REALLY hope he passed the entrance exam. |

| Damn. this episode was so beautiful,yet it was also so very sad. i expected the result,but it still very much hurt to see it :'(. |
| Too bad he failed the exam.. It’s not impossible though to master the exam in 6 months, even in 1 month is possible.. I did it twice in middle school (graduation exam) and high school (university entrance exam).. I don't know if that is only my country education system is below japan.. But yeah above all, doing that is not a good example for student audiences ... Yaguchi didn't need to give up hope, it's not like they were interacting in school, they only interact in arcade lol ... One thing I hate though, I feel this show forgetting Hidaka as third main character in the last 2 episodes ... |

ariel_nugie said: Seeing from the list number on the announcement board.. I guess he failed at the entrance exam.. too bad for him That feels like a pretty emotionless comment... I mean after stuff a strong episode, it leaves the viewer cheering for his sucess, she Ono was soo damm adorable holding is hand at the end, then that bomb drops. Was actually hoping he would pass, fuck... Vysarine said: Not seeing 1942 on that list hurt me very much He worked so hard for this chance, but still failed ;_; Finally someone showing some emotion here, same, kinda left me very bitter. |
 |
| Harou's mom is still the best. Finally some character growth. Good to see it his love build-up into a motivation. |
| Ah, sad for everyone this episode. Sad for Ono because Haruo didn't get in, sad for him because after all the effort he put in he still failed (although that's to be expected since he did only start cramming studies since summer break...). But also sad for Hidaka because she doesn't realise just how far Haruo is going away from her. And actually these last 2 episodes have been so short on Hidaka. Need to see more of her. Hidaka's thoughts are so hilarious, like "I want to tutor him too!" lol |

| As a Virtua Fighter fan it makes me so happy to see the games got extended spotlight in this episode. Very fitting that Akira plays as Akira. I was hoping for Haruo & Oono to duke it out in VF2, but them playing the first one was good enough for me |

| Great and wholesome episode |
 |
| Koharu feels like a side character now. Seeing as his number wasn't listed on the board, Haruo must not have got in. But this wouldn't be the first time there's been distance between him and Akira. |
