I swear, Nene can make friends with just about anyone. Even someone like Narumi with a tough competitive personality seems to open up more to her.
Thought the episode was fun. I'm actually starting to like this Narumi girl more.

Happy to see Kou getting a lot of screen time this week :)

So the game is in the final stages and it looks pretty good.
Tho it seems there is trouble on the horizon with Yagami san, my guess is that she will just be moved around temporarily i doubt she will leave the company for good.
But we will have to wait and see.

Nenechi's sweetness knows no bounds, good episode.

Kinda felt for Naru when I heard her story, glad she redeemed herself this episode.
Loved the moments with Ko interacting with Momiji and Aoba during the playtesting. Looks like the game is coming along quite well.

Also Ko with a ponytail is <3

So Ko really is leaving, this is gonna be heartbreaking and Rin is gonna be totally destroyed. :(

I just noticed there's only one more episode. I was so ready to give this show a 5 because of Narumi being unbearable as a character, but then they dedicated a good chunk of this ep to her. Nice save... nice save...

i agree with the not for good/ever etc. but likely at least for the next project. Thoughi dont know about where shell be moved Christina's BEST connection is in a game company in France with her sister so ;p - still not even discussing it with Rin is a bit of a surprise best friend for .. (decades?) childhood and there in their 20s *shrug* Ko-chan isnt good with social ques or recognizing things like Rin is more or less in love with her im sure Rin will 'accept' it and be 'supportive' but if the author is now going to be more 'real' and less 'cgdcs' with it there is no way to make Rin not sure some direct emotion or misery

That last scene was so strong, Rin is seriously in despair over this. Fuck.

Also i'm very glad that we got to see why Narumi acted like this, i'll take it as it is a good reason. Her being backed up by Nenecchi really got her emotional and she knew that she was mistaken. Super well done.

I'd say the best episode of the 2nd season so far.

Lots of stuff happening as we near the finish line. We learn about Naru's backstory and the drama between her and Nene gets resolved, and they are now buddies. Aoba and Momo take a step forward too.

Hifumi has all but disappeared the last few weeks T_T And I thought by the end of the season she would be interacting normally with the others.

As expected after last week, Kou drops her bombshell. I guess it's up to Rin and Aoba to make sure the show doesn't have an unhappy ending.

The game is basically finished so Kou's drama will be the finale.

What? Only one ep left? Why can't my favorite shows be like One Piece and have 999 episodes? 5/5

Fantastic episode that featured Nene heavily. I'm also glad we got the Narumi backstory because she was fairly hard for me to like when she's in the office. Luckily our favorite little blondie and her enthusiasm saved the day. Glad they became friends in the end and everything worked out.

Speaking of enthusiasm, Umiko comparing Nene as a dog was hilarious. That will probably be my favorite gif from the series. That game also looks pretty fun. I'd be down to play it.

Kou is wanting to leave!? That final scene with Rin was uber sad. It makes sense for her wanting to leave, her team is getting more experienced and she isn't needed as much as before. Hopefully the rest of the team finds out and tell her how much they need her around.

Final episode next week, super stoked to see whats next.

Got to know about Narumi's backstory. I can see why she was acting the way she was at Nene. She thought she failed at her job, but Nene helped her out so she can be successful. Both of them are hired. I'm happy for them. It's sad to know Kou is leaving. Rin is in despair about it.

i tend to think if Ko is 'gone' for a long term thing the author might actually be thinking of ending the series in the next 2-3 volumes.. could be wrong *shrug* (seeing as shes such a both popular to the audience and heavily influential character in the series)

I think she did not it anybody because she did not want to worry them, it is master up time. The most crucial time. Plus she deserves it. I hope Kou goes there and Run follows her. Will km Ake a great finale to the series. If the at it studio or the author just trolling with us, them I'll be very sad.

Well then, looks like we will get some Drama next week. I was a bit worried since there is 1 chapter left and a lot of things were just hanging there, tho, this episode happened and some stuff got fixed here and there... so I believe we will have a similar last episode like the first season (the game release) meanwhile we see how Kou will deal with her little secret.

I'm still not buying that the new characters were introduced halfway the season after having 1 or 2 important episodes and the rest of "filler", but anyway, things have been worth lately

Great episode! Even this time, the characters have a characterization that does not betray mistakes, the narrative this time also has been exemplary in its comic and sweetness. In addition there is also the twist that I saw in the episode, earlier, I could not ask for more. Nene is cute! <3

Glad that everyone gave his best and they were able to finish the game.

Sadly only one episode left and there's some drama incoming, so get your tissues ready.

I loved all the Nene this episode. Also still not feeling sympathetic to Naru, even after hearing her story. Having a rough go of it is not an excuse to treat someone like shit. Especially if that someone is Nene, who is an angel to everyone.

Also man, that last scene was something else. Rin is a bad place.

Kou leaving was pretty obvious after last episode. I hoped to see her confrontation with Rin. Next week I guess :/
I'm happy the tension between old cast and new girls got resolved. It really didn't like it.
Also, some nice details in this episode, like this cute ramen girl or Hifumi's reaction when Kou commented Aoba's cannibals. And programmer team background characters got eyes!
And I guess it's always cool to see Umiko's good side.

It's a bit sad to think next episode will be the last, and we won't get 3rd season anytime soon, if ever.

I'm glad that Naru got a good amount of focus in this episode. Her cocky face to wind up Sakura was funny, but I understand as to why she's working super hard on her goals, since she wants to become a programmer at Eagle Jump instead of inheriting her family inn.

Because of that, Sakura's view of Naru changed and after Naru screwed up on her assignments due to rushing it to completion, Sakura helped her out and they both succeeded in staying at Eagle Jump. Also, Umiko mentioning to Kou about Naru and Sakura being like a cat and a dog made me burst out laughing. XD

However, and I swear this happens in many other shows when it rains, the drama is always out the corner, ready to jump at an opportunity when it arises. This time, it involves Kou, who is planning to leave Eagle Jump to what I would assume to be a larger and more famous game company. However, Rin overhears this and is unable to bring the topic up to Kou just yet.

With this, next week's last episode will be pretty intense and drama-heavy. Can we have a happy ending as well please? =3

Doubt Yagami is leaving the company for good (it would make no sense for her to ask Christina for help). She probably is either going to some fancy professional art school overseas for a degree/certificate or helping another company for 1 specific project.

The last scene with Rin was well animated.

I can imagine all the drama about to go down in that cafeteria.

i agree with the not for good/ever etc. but likely at least for the next project. Thoughi dont know about where shell be moved Christina's BEST connection is in a game company in France with her sister so ;p - still not even discussing it with Rin is a bit of a surprise best friend for ..

If Ko is going to france and finding a new girlfriend or (dare i say it?) even boyfriend there this shows score is going down through the floor.
Not just because of me, i am certain.

Hooray for Nene & Narumi, it's all worked out between them.

Kou is leaving, that will be very sad for Rin and the other, though having seen her skill throughout these season you can understand if a giant company out there would want to hire her.

Hiding in haystacks, reminds me of Assassin's Creed.

The next episode is definitely going to be hard for Rin.

If you watch how she mimics nenes words; it isnt about finding new people ; she was in fact worried likely about being lonely or feeling alone. and the 'were together as long as were working towards our goal" - so while she may go across the street or to france (I say france because of Christinas Sister that would be her strongest connection in the industry) I dont think shed abandon her best friend- though i think she should have spoken to her about it; though her reasoning's for not doing it being interrupting work on a project and stuff are likely going to be there as well as other personal reasons etc.

Cannot help but love Nene's attitude when it comes to dealing with awkward people and situations. To be fair, I don't think she was in the wrong for anything there, Naru being worried about her own image in front of Ahagon was a bit excessive, especially when she tried cutting corners and didn't check her work. Although the team would have bailed her out eventually for being a noob, the fact that Nene voiced out their thoughts (albeit a bit to expressively), meant that she finally got it stabbed into her head that this whole thing is a team effort and that she wasn't alone in the process, even if it was her screw up. I believe that entire scene was all the better for it.

Seeing Momoji loosen up in front of the other girls at the game testing and during her time at the cafeteria was great for her own character building.

And of course, that talk between Ahagon and Yagami at the ramen shop was glorious. Nene as the dumb dog and Naru as a cat, I almost lost my coffee there, hahaha!

Despite all this drama about Yagami leaving Eagle Jump in the background, I can't help but think that it will be on a temporary basis, otherwise she would have consulted with Rin before anything, no? She cannot live without her to pick her up and mother her in the office anyway.

Rin x Kou-chan hope seems to disappear.

I hope that Rin will express her love, and that they could end up moving together as a result of them not working together. I also feel it would be a shame to have New Game without Yagami for possible future season to come. But I do not know how manga handled this. Guess I gotta try snoop for some info without getting spoiled.

i gave them a chance but i'm still not sure im feelin the two newbies. just feels like they disrupt the chemistry and charm it has (while turning Hifumi into a cameo). sure Nene disrupted the chemistry (and annoying at that) but at least the charm was there. her character is much more tolerable this time around :)

welp, hopefully the last ep goes full on with the Rin x Ko

Nennechi and Naru finally made up. I'm relieved to see that. Ko planning to leave Eagle Jump and Rin doesn't like it. Drama episode incoming.

Naru turn cocky and try to impress Umiko and it turn into a fail while Nennechi doing her job better. Fixing, shortening her code. Also testing and debugging as well. Thanks to Umiko's mentorship. Nene is slowly growing up while still adorable. I'm liking her a little more.
