So glad to see Midori earning more recognition in this show. The fact that she gets invited by a famous game designer from North America means a lot.

Of course she also has the support of her friends. Wonderful.

Wow, another absolutely heartwarming episode for a board game enthusiast like me. Already my anime of the year, and if the final episode also delivers, I might even consider the 10/10 rating. Midori's path to her own game is a glorious one to follow <3

Little Midori was cute with long hair.

Midori improved on her game thanks to her friends.

It really doesn't feel like there is only 1 episode left. Hopefully the last episode is just as good as the rest of the series. So far a solid 8 or 9 for me

Really cute episode as usual, sad that the season is nearing an end, I really hope we get another season of this. There's plenty of manga content since there's 14 volumes. This is def my fave series of the year after Fairy Gone and I wish more people checked it out, the score on MAL is way too low. It's like just because a series doesn't have explosions, tits,etc it's called "boring"

As for the ep itself, I'm really proud of midori for finally overcoming her obstacles with her game. She's grown a lot as a result of making friends. Is that a hinge of jealousy from Miki or is she just worried that her friend's success could split apart the group? Hmm. Can't wait for next week, will be the first ep I can watch at home for break and not have to worry about class.

Wow! Midori is one super genius, who concentrates while sleeping, even better by solving a maths equation :O

The game is still boring for me to be really honest, it looks like a kids board game trying to play house.

Afterschool Dice Club reaches the endgame with yet another beautiful episode! Midori gets some beautiful character moments this week, as she reaffirms her passion for board games. She realizes that she could have never completed her game without her friends' support, especially after seeing how much fun her friends had with her new game. This show is just so wholesome and heartwarming and I'll be sad to see it go. Hopefully, it will deliver a satisfying conclusion.

Remember Midori's self-made game in Episode 6? Now George Beresford of Bad Dwarf fame (that's legit BTW from the US) wants to see her game, albeit tested in a competition.

With that, Midori whips her self-made game, only much improved, but it still isn't competition material. Even though there's still room for improvement, there's still an element missing, and it shows.

OH MY, QC production mistakes that just went by and shrugged under the rug.

Learning how much her servant loves furniture, Midori took the inspiration idea, worked too hard on herself and went (sleeping) rogue whilst refining her game that's full-on passion. And solving Maths equation while being asleep? That's some insane genius. Of course, Aya and Miki would've been overly concerned about her wellbeing, they wouldn't know that she was designing the game to fit all the lessons learnt.

Her hard work (I'll call it Ver.3 the final), is much convoluted but at least the strategy is there, and when a game has one and many ways to play, it is undeniably good, and that's the case for her game, made with loving care from Aya, Miki and Emmy's support as test players.

Next episode, the last, while expectations are low, just hoping for a resolution somehow.

Fantastic episode and great way to give Midori's character arc a perfect conclusion. Following the process of how she created and ended up polishing her game was truly a pleasure to see. Easily, my favorite episode of the series.

One more episode to go. Really hope it can conclude this series in a good note.

I can relate to Miki at the end. When you don't have a certain dream to follow and you start watching everyone following what they want little by little, you start to get overwhelmed and lonely. I wonder how it is going to be dealt with next week.

I agree,

She looks so much cuter in the past then her current short hair style.

But her current style is for the classic "bookworm" style...

I wish she'll grew her hair back or later.

Also, LOL @ sleep deprived Midori, and answering math questions while still sleeping... 3000 IQ.

And during play-test, I am pretty sure Midori climaxed from having her game played...

___ ___ ___

overall, Midori made a fairly nice game. Now to turn that into a mobile and you'll make 1000x more money than from board game, LUL (just like how other board games has now turn digital)

5/5.

might be hard watching animes then, well, the more you live the better chance it is to find something that is out there for you, and since you are an avid anime fan who watches a lot, you'll definitely find something that hits it home for you and will inspire you to do the same... so, don't feel so sad and lonely ><

Thanks for the postive ideas <3 I have been trying to become more productive over the past 4-5 years and tho I didn't necessarily find something I really want to do, I'm still searching. Thanks for the advice anyways :D

Finally Midore getting some recognition for her game!

Well, it is true that the game was kind of lame before, but after the improvements it's fire!

Does anyone else find her game to be similar to Castles of Mad King Ludwig? It has similar mechanics but you are buying entire rooms instead of furniture, and the end condition is different, But the strategies seem similar on a surface level, especially comparing Castles bonus cards to Midori's catalog cards.

It seems like a fun game, I would love to play it myself!

It was really satisfying seeing Midori complete her game after getting everyone’s feedback from play tests and then remembering what her original intent for making the game was, the final product looks very competent and a game I actually would want to play, I can’t remember if it wins the competition but I hope it it makes it far.

And with one episode left, I was already certain of this early on but it’s been a very nice rewatch, I liked it more this time around actually.
