LOL Yukimura in a nutshell.

This episode was less exciting but had more humor imo. Well, there's like this weird fixation between him and Tachibana. Decent buildup I guess. We get to see gun mechanics explained like sub-machine guns..

Midori is also a really chill dude until that ending. What a cliffhanger!

Didn't think this anime would be so in debt about the guns they use.

I'd prefer Hotaru purposely keeping her gender a secret than suddenly remembering that she forgot to inform the other two about it. But I guess it can be justified by the thrill of survival game that occupied her mind fully and it was too late by the time she realized it. In other words, for the sake of plot convenience, it just had to happen.

For a "Shounen", this show sure gave off quite some BL vibes with Fujimoto asking Midori to pat his head for bringing that letter. Neat way to pander fujos while being considered Shounen on the surface.

The moment Hotaru thought Midori is a kind-looking gentleman, anyone would instantly know he's the bad guy. Disregarding the cliched trope, I wonder if he figured out her gender after feeling her up.

Average episode. I hope that nurse is in Midori's survival game team. She's got a pretty cold attitude though. :3

I'm disappointed in how the producers dragged the episode so much in order to split the chapter into two episode. Glad we got to see Yukimura see Midori, even if it was for very little time this episode. Gotta love that bouncer... errr. manager. He's so badass and his fight with Hotaru will surely be entertaining and thrilling. Hotaru is so cute sometimes and then other times she is just so goddam scary, sad I didn't see the latter part of her this episode.

For people who want to drop, give it one more episode. It'll bring chills. This episode served as a build up.

It was a good episode.

Lol @ how Yukimura showed Hotaru his ero-manga in front of the school gate and read adult manga in the public in Akihabara.

More comedy and less action this episode but we got some explanations about sub-machine guns. And it looks like Yukimura didn't have a pleasant past with Midori. It seemed pretty obvious that he wouldn't be a good guy when Tachibana assumed he was a nice-looking person. Also, I'm pretty sure Midori figured out that Tachibana is a girl
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Loved the comedy bits as well as the introduction of who I'm guessing will be the main rivals for our group of MC's

But dat cliffhanger though....Green haired dude is pretty freaking interesting to say the least and I appreciated his little explanation behind the mechanics of guns as well as the tournament thing and the game in general

Can't wait to see Hotaru use her new gun as well as to hopefully get an explanation as to why that cliffhanger went down like that O_O

I'm assuming Midori knows her true gender? Hopefully not, but I still can't stop thinking that he knows. I wonder whats his beef Yukimura also.

So, the gentle doctor is actually a villain huh?

Hotaru's reaction was so cute.


I assume this mysterious hooded guy is someone important.


So the new antagonist is a doctor lol.
It seemed to me that Midori figured out Hotaru's female.

I just watched all three episodes in one go. Really liking this anime.

Yukimura is definitely my favorite character. He's just too funny.

I had a feeling Midori was a douche from the moment he appeared. Seeing as he knows both Yukimura and Matsuoka, that and the fact that Yukimura tried to punch Midori as soon as he saw him, I kind of got the vibe that Midori is the one who betrayed Yukimura and tore up his manga. The reason I think that is because Yukimura seems to be a peaceful person but it was pure unbridled hate that made him throw that punch.

I could be wrong though and we'll have to wait and see. Oh and Midori totally found out Hotaru is a girl.

This show just took out a pivotal storyline with Tachibana's debt from their story(They didn't make any money last episode and got booted out in round two >.<) and made their whole first episode completely meaningless. Leaving me in disarray with the show and having to start my grading of it as a 3.4 out of 10.
Skipping over an entire plot point is not something I can overlook.

this show takes itself way too seriously but it was better than the drivel i sat through last episode. the nurse with the long hair will make this worthwhile if she gets more screen time cause every other character in this show is trash.

i dont see the problem cuz tachi now plays for fun instead for debt , paying off debt was never what this anime was about (i mean it was just a minor point to get things started)
and y this anime takes it self way to seriously but that is whats great and original about it

damn they got a lot of cool guns in this... but it isn't realistic, nearly everyone normally runs around with m4s, mp5s i guess in japan... but then again variety is better than realism right?

i also feel like they can't use companies names... like "echizen" sounds a lot like "maruzen", a famous japan maker , known for hyper realistic guns evenif they're just made of plastic(which is really astonishing really)

yup, "high cycle" only tokyo marui uses that term, so i'm sure they just can't use the names, that's also a gun i was interested in buying.... TM ftw.

Also, it's amusing how the characters in this anime are so passionate about their survival games and take them seriously. It's ridiculous but boy does it make this anime enjoyable.


Is it really that ridiculous? It seems a little hypocritical to judge considering anime is looked at in the same light by a lot of people... being passionate about a hobby is normal.

I just meant that the premise of the anime is a bit over-the-top.


this makes me understand that unfortunately a lot of people came here for yaoi and josei material, not for the airsoft(which is way i am here for)

in my opinion they aren't even that much passionate about it, welll, except for te mangaka, the others just see it like fun, not like one of the reasons to live for.

I like everything about Yuki-- ah god... (who thought up about this character jfc)

Somewhy, i think Yukimura hates Midori because Midori did something to Matsuoka.
Since Yuki really attracted to Matsuoka, it wont be a surprise that he would react like that to someone who hurt his precious best friend.

The best part of this episode was that Yuki bought that eroge for Hotaru as well!
He even wanted to play it together, omfg, if only he knew he bought it for a female.

that was a very exciting episode, the encounter of Yukimura and the Midori at the end was the real thrill and now Tachibana is going to get tested I wonder how she'll do, it was also full of comedy and hilarious scenes, angry Yukimura is so hot lol and well I guess Midori already knows that Tachibana is a girl right now so I wonder what will happen next... Takatora and his petting fetish, Midori telling him he was gross, ehm that actually speaks to me on spiritual level =_=,but he still pets him anyway oww, that scene was so sweet guess I can't hold myself I'll just ship them x'P the fact that he also doesn't know how to handle kids oh well guess Takatora is another version of myself.

Not as exciting as last episode, but I still enjoyed learning about the guns and stuff. Can't believe Hotaru is already obsessed with this stuff. I'm interested in Midori too, wonder if he knows Hotaru is a woman and what he's planning on doing. Poor Yuki...

Hotaru's desire for going to survival games again feels sort of unjustified after only one battle shown. Character interactions were funny this episode, and it's good to see them fit Yukimura seeing Nagamasa at the end (the art style makes it look quite intense). I'm also getting used to the lighting as well.

Overall it was kind of boring since I expected to see Tachibana play more games to pay up the debt...however that last bit was interesting and I hope the next episodes will have more focus on the game itself since it's why I'm watching this.

That nurse made me laugh :D

But i'm super impressed that the debt thing is gone now. I hate those types of plot drivers.
