| Well Karen was my favorite part. And I really dug this episode. I'm not sure how well I think it works overall. But the whole sarcastic flippant tone of the series. Is one of the things that jumps out the most about it to me. Just things like when it will deliberately foreshadow things to try and catch your interest. Or the pacing and use of title cards during the day in Karen's life segment. I will say though I continue to feel really bad for Karen. And I'm sort of curious if at any point they'll draw attention too how unhealthy her obsession is. Or if she's just who they plan to stick the main character with. |

For some reason I see blond Hestia-sama in this. |

| Wait a second ... so what happened after the end of last episode?! D: LOL I guess we'll have to wait another episode to see since this one was an "intermission" :P This one was pretty funny though, Karen's life has really changed since she got her crush on Amano huh :P Their "walk" was pretty fun too, and I guess we got to see more of Amano's stance on gaming and winning. Of course if you didn't care at ALL gaming wouldn't be any fun, so certainly that makes it enjoyable to play :D Though I guess now she thought she'd be over her slump but it just makes her think of Amano more lol XD |
| This episode felt like filler after the last episode but I still enjoyed it. Seeing the before and after with Tendou's schedule was funny. |

daccano said: Tendou is basically the ideal girl at this point, I thought chiaki was gonna be my main for the whole series but Tendou really won my over in this episode This is so true. Chiaki has been extremely disappointing. |

| TENDOU KAWAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! |
| Let me get the second half of the episode... MC mother kicks him out for a walk because he was playing all day, but... the first place he goes is to the game shop and buys another game and goes to the arcade... Logical Deep down I wanted the wild goose chase from tendou to continue –=͟͟͞͞ =͟͟͞͞ ﾍ( ´Д`)ﾉ p.s anyone else feeling like playing right after this episode? I sure do. |
| It wasn't bad, there were several good laughs here. It's fun to watch Tendou losing her grip and Amano being pestered. Still, the episode was a bit tedious; I don't like that we've taken a step backwards from the improved pacing in the previous episode. Excluding the other "players" doesn't do any favors for the comedy. Tendou's perfect life was either an exaggeration (a case of "unreliable narrator") or a strange inconsistency that would have been easy to avoid. The root of the problem is that she simply doesn't get enough sleep. 11:30PM-5:30AM, that's only six hours. And it may be possible to make up for that deficit on the weekends, but during the weekdays, an ordinary human being would inevitably get more and more exhausted. She simply can't get away with not sleeping enough, if she wants to perform as perfectly as she says she does in her studies, gaming activities and social life. And she even says she doesn't fuss over her appearance and that beauty comes from within, but sleep deprivation won't make anyone beautiful, at least in the conventional sense. I personally find the "tired look" hot, but Tendou doesn't have bags under her eyes at all. Which brings me to my next nitpick: why doesn't she look genuinely more disorganized and tired after she's fallen for Amano? Her behavior is definitely different, but she looks basically the same as before. No bags under her eyes, her hair is perfect, and her uniform isn't more messy either. The fact that she almost left for school in her pajama bottoms doesn't count, in fact, none of her early morning failures had an actual consequence later. It's unfortunate that the creators passed on this opportunity to make Tendou more interesting. |

| Ehh, but what happened to the couples on the last episode? Also I still don't get how Tendou liked Amano before this episode. Is it because of the MC curse? That's the only explanation I have. |

She simply can't get away with not sleeping enough, if she wants to perform as perfectly as she says she does in her studies, gaming activities and social life. Average sleep time for an adult is 6-8 hours, so she's running on the minimum. I've been averaging 6 hours a night since I hit my teens (mid-20s now), and I've never suffered performance issues from it. I don't use coffee either since it gives me a headache. Heck, my parents and grandparents all run on 6 hours sleep, so for a long time I thought my siblings and peers were just lazy with their 8-10 hours. |

Well, you said yourself, those numbers are for an adult. And just because you were fine with six hours of sleep, doesn't mean that it's enough for the average teen. You also didn't specify if you were the most popular kid, a top student and a top athlete within your school - because Tendou is all of those things at the same time (and she's won some esports trophies too). If you were, that's amazing. In any case, I just found it odd, but I will concede that it's not technically impossible. Performance does depend on more factors beyond sleep, like exercise and diet. |

I was among the top for grades, I guess? I actually can't imagine how one could achieve top in grades, sports, and public relations with longer sleeping hours though. Where would you find the time to get the practice and necessities done? I lived with the valedictorian (also student council prez and basketball team captain) for my year and he practically ran on 4 hours sleep most days. Also, I searched for this chart, and was amused to find that Tendou's schedule fell within the highest reported times. She's on her way to becoming a successful person, just like the game of life in the later episode xD https://blogs-images.forbes.com/alicegwalton/files/2015/11/Sleep-patterns-of-21-highly-successfull-people-1-804x6000.jpg?width=960 |
Well, I'm skeptical regarding the relevance of the infographic - I'm not asserting that the big shots on the chart are lying, it's just that 21 people doesn't seem like a big sample, and none of them are teenagers anyway. Still, you brought up some interesting stuff. I haven't really done my homework on the science regarding the healthy amount of sleep either, although I know for sure that there is no universal number and everyone's needs are different. |
| Finally a little step forward in their relationship. |
 |
| First half was funny-- I liked the "A Day in Tendou Karen's Magnificent Life" before and after :3 Got boring towards the end. Seems like this series is hit and miss at times :/ |
| Quite a great and lovely episode I must say! Really loved that second part, and that first was just hilarious! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| Hmmm... I guess that Tendou ended up being my least favourite character from the cast... including few side chars as well... this episode was still quite watchable and while not as enjoyable as two previous ones, it's still okay. With this I probably will reach the ending. |
| I feel so sorry for Tendou. And Amano-kun is so dumb for not noticing she likes him!!! |
 |
on 
| after credits Karen yelling its all Keitas fault was Kawaiiii :D |
| The date walk was fun to watch... |
 |
| I love that Tendou's bedtime was considered "early"! I'd be half asleep if I went to bed that late and tried to get up before 6am... |
| The first half was quite funny, her days keep getting less productive it seems. Somehow she became more tsunderish in the second half though? |
| ok like nice date episode hmm |
 |
| Omg, Tendou, what a cute expression you had there. Your embarassing face. Damn, so delicious! Unfortunately, Amano just as densed as fuck that i actually so cringed about his whole action. I just still don't understand how the fuck thats actually work for them. Its just so mystery the way of their interaction. Welp, whatever. At least they had a nice time in full episode. Its really appreciated with that decision, a very nice justification. Still, its not enough to pointing out the reason. Its just too abrupt for me, man, really. So, whats next? Come back to Aguri again? I guess that shit needed to be clear out very quickly! |

closeureyes said: Each episode is better than the previous one, the romance gives a nice plus to the anime. 5/5 Yes, I enjoyed ep3 more than 2, and after that, had to watch ep4, was a really good episode, Tendou and that another male MC are pulling this anime up. And this wussy MC is getting less annoying as well, scenes with him and Tendou were really cute, plus I do love that outfit she was carrying and her schedule before and after had me with a smile~~ |
 |
| Lul Karen, remind me about me time with waifu. Can't sleep just think over it. Amano lose against Karen, as always he just having fun whether win or lose. A bit challengic is make interesting. |
| Wow episode 1 wasn't lying, she really would lose it lol. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| this anime deserves better score than 6.75 at least higher than 7.50 |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
