| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A bold move for a date... Welp, this episode had some nice character chemistry in particular between Sakurai and Moriko. I'm starting to get used to hew hairstyle more as well in this show. Tbh, I think it kinda suits her even though it's different. I kinda like Moriko/Sakurai pair more than the other dude. |

| Koiwai best bro 2017. Setting everything up for the two of them like that it's not an easy feat, not to mention he could have gone for her instead. It's too bad Sakurai didn't say he is Lily. He would have admitted that he sort of stalked her in game, but I don't think Morioka would have looked down on him. He didn't make much use of the chance created for him either. Pushing her to Koiwai, while thinking that it's the best for her; that's not really about helping her, but rather running away imo. Not that Koiwai is a bad pick; but Sakurai's passive attitude wasn't that selfless. It's good to see Morioka recovering from her neet problem, albeit still not completely. Now she has two men going after her to deal with tho. |
| Well it was funny to see the Morioaka went on the wrong day. But it was nice to see still had a date that day. The characters are getting closer which is nice and things are developing really well. Tho there might still be some very interesting events coming up. Also the bottle of water claiming it was from France, some people will do everything to advertise their product. |
| Man I really feel for Sakurai....I dunno if I could be able to just watch her get swept away like that |
| Jesus people, just give me a progress of those two. And no, stop with that triangle. Otherwise good as always. |
 |
| Moriko has been a NEET for so long that she can't keep track of the days of the week lol. She and Sakurai had a nice date together. They have great chemistry. Koiwai is an awesome bro. |
 |
| So by the preview it looks lile mori and Sakurai really did know each other when they were kids? Or at least played together? |
| I'm glad that the show isn't making Koiwai as a romantic isntrest! It's really fun to watch but I want Moriko to figure out that Sakurai is Lily on the tenth episode! Anyways amazing episode! I love these characters |

| All I can say is that I'm super happy to see Sakurai and Moriko together again. They're super cute together and I'll be rooting for them in the remaining 4 episodes. Though I prefer her long hair, I really do think Moriko is still pretty hot with her medium length hair. Anyways, this was fun to see Moriko interact IRL and watching her be all nervous was adorable. Hopefully we'll see more of this in the future. |
 |
| Really enjoying this show. Such a rare treat to watch an anime that features a young adults that actually look and act like real people (besides the MMO gameplay). I'm getting more and more nervous, the longer Sakurai keeps his secret. |
| Double date back to back :O home sweet home for Moriko at last! Sakurai just doesn't have the confidence and outgoing personalities :( 1-0 for Kowai, Kowai feel like a 50-50 he seem to want to pursue Moriko and also help Sakurai out. |

| Moriko liking kowai more than sakurai :'( |
 |
| Koiwai needs to man up and take charge, clearly Koiwai is teasing him at this point that all his teases might just turn into feelings for MoriMori. Tsun is no longer meta in 2K17. |
| I usually don't watch RomComs because I want to shake the characters and make them be honest with each other about their feelings. If MoriMori doesn't realize who Sakurai really is before the last episode I'm going to die. Also, making moves on an unconscious woman should not be used as a joke. I get that Kowai is teasing Sakurai because he's not being upfront about his feelings but that still serves to normalize the behavior. It's gross. |

| I do not understand Kowai what he's playing, he wants to help Sakurai, but during his appointment he's going out the kind of sentence "you're beautiful" at Mori Mori mehhh ..... |

| Sakurai is a genius, instead of telling Morioka right away they know each other online, he's dropping hints to let her realize it herself. But he should have really told her right away, in a careful way, but he should have told her. |

If crossing the consent line wasn't already normalized it wouldn't have been used as a joke in the first place. That aside I REALLY REALLY hope these flippin' adults start being honest with each other and themselves so this heinous triangle will end. |
| I'm very happy for Moriko this episode because seeing her happy makes me happy, too. Hehe. Two men telling her that she's cute and lovely, so I have no complaints. I think Koiwai-san likes Moriko as a person not romantically since he's aware that Sakurai likes her. Hihi. Idk, maaan. Honestly, I won't mind if there'll be a love triangle since I love the characters unlike the most romance shows which has overly annoying cliche characters like kill me. THIS IS COMING FROM THE PERSON WHO DETESTS ROMANCE GENRE WITH A BURNING PASSION! I honestly miss Moriko's long hair now. Waaaaaah. Is it possible for her hair to be longer in no time again? Pfffft. That was a very cute episode. Loved it. :) |

| i felt sad for sakurai when he was talking to her while he was walking her home, i still liked the episode. |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| i really love this anime. The idea of Sakurai knowing who morioka is in game is crazy, i wouldve thought they would find out together. Im kinda confused if koiwai is acting for his own wants, or if hes helping out sakurai. still love it doe |
 |
| I feel that directly telling Morioka that he is Lily could actually backfire with negative results. Dropping hints and letting her find out herself will definitely be more impactful. |
Stay in yesterday 時を止めて |
| I'm so happy for Moriko that she had a great time and that her self-esteem improved. But she really looked great in this episode and her sleeping face was so cute. Not a big fan of the love triangle tbh,hope that Sakurai picks up the pace. |

| They finally had a drink. Morioka did get confused with the dates of the dates. Is koiwai-san best buddy? Or is a love triangle formed? Hope not. and thumbs up to sakurai for that cute Moment. 5/5. |
| Signature removed.AGAIN. |
| sakura is trying so hard to cuck himself lmao |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| such a nice episode.... I hope Mori san realise on her own who is Lily |
 |
 Need messy long hair Morimori back. |
| Well this confirms my fears, looks like we'll probably be wasting time with schoolgirl drama until a reveal in episode 10... thought the show was gonna be above that since everything was moving forward at a good pace before. Here's a thing I've noticed with the confident best romances, the truth is revealed BEFORE the show ends so you get episodes seeing what the couple is like and you get PAYOFF. Toradora comes to mind. We have 4 more episodes, the series is short anyway, are we REALLY going to just continue to languish in Sakurai lying, MMO and non-MMO drama, and Mori being conflicted on who to choose until a reveal episode 10? Are we REALLY getting the cliche, "S-She would be better with my best friend, he would be better for her, I have to think of her feelings, I-I can't take her away" garbage from Sakurai??? Sorry, but that's not good enough for me, I've been watching anime for far too long and have seen this too many times before. Hopefully they use their time more constructively, and Mori at least had 1 nano-second thinking about Lily, but I'm treating the show much more like netoge and gamers now, not like the superior show I thought it was back in episode 3. |

| Koiwai ze player. Such a tease getting her all flustered. I hope it isn't a triangle. I like all the characters so far though |
 |
| Ah man, I just want Sakurai and Moriko to get together already. It was very nice seeing both dates but I still found it funny that Moriko still can't enjoy being anywhere other than her home playing games. |
 |
| Kinda want Moriko to hangout/tell IRL Kanbe about everything. I mean, she finally met someone who knows both aspects of her, so it'd be cool if we put the romance aside so she can confide in someone as just a friend? |
| Ugh, Moriko and Yuuta should be a thing already. |
  |
| Koiwai is actually trying his hardest to help out Sakurai yet he is so considerate that he stays in the back. I felt for Sakurai when he walked Morioka home and she talked about Koiwai. He has the confirmation now that she is Hayashi in-game, i wonder when she will find out. |
Bucknerd said: Also, making moves on an unconscious woman should not be used as a joke. I get that Kowai is teasing Sakurai because he's not being upfront about his feelings but that still serves to normalize the behavior. It's gross. It's borderline insensitive, but it fits Koiwai's character and I know for a fact that there are many people like this in the working world. Now the more shoujo elements come into play - 1 female and 2 guys, however I like how the anime plays one romantic interest, the obvious choice, as someone who supports the other romantic interest in a much more defined and realistic approach than a certain romantic show last season I shall not name. This episode featured a lot of real life, which is a nice break and I can't wait to see what happens next. ...Also, was it just me, or in the preview for the next episode there appears to be a new, blonde character? |
| He knoooows. I am gonna be so mad if Mori doesn't figure it out or Sakurai doesn't reveal it by the end. Though, I think Mori is definitely going to figure out somehow or find out, because of the whole thing with her noticing the speech patterns between Lily and Sakurai. Also, Kowai's tactics are questionable. Rape jokes, not cool bro, but I understand why he did it. He's trying really hard to bro it up but there's definitely an underlying tone of "if you don't take her, I will" or something. I'm so excited to see it that I usually just will watch it when I get up in the afternoon but I gotta set alarms and F5 for this. |
| Gender bender next week? |
 |
| 1st half: THIS SHOW IS SO FUCKING CUTE SDJHASDJHFJKHS 2nd half: no no nO NO NO Man I am so conflicted. Koiwai has always openly shown his support for Sakurai getting with Moriko despite his own attraction to MoriMori. He consistently prods him to take action and even creates opportunities for Sakurai to get closer to her (his suggestion for MoriMori to spend the day with Sakurai being a prime example from this episode). And yet, Sakurai insists on being passive; always going far enough to ensure Moriko's safety but never reaching out to connect with her on a deeper level. It's frustrating as hell to watch, and I honestly can't fault Koiwai for taking the "if you don't want her, then I'll have her" approach I'm really curious as to why Sakurai is so damned insistent maintaining this gap in his relationship with Moriko. I literally pounded my fists on my desk when he threw away the perfect opportunity to explain everything to her and brushing off his appearance that evening as a "coincidence". GOD FUCKING DAMMIT SAKURAI. He better have a good reason for LITERALLY CUCKING HIMSELF. Please let it be something more complicated than "I don't deserve her" or "I don't want to risk ruining our online relationship"... |
| For a second I thought the preview was showing that Moriko was going to make a female alt in the game, but it looks like it's actually going to be a flashback of her time in the other game that got shut down. SAKURAI KNOWS AHHHHHH |
| This anime is so damn endearing. Seems like we may go down a path where Moriiko figures out who Lily is herself, potentially with some more hints dropped by Sakurai. Of course, for that to happen we need Sakurai to step his game up and try to further their irl relationship. |
| Did you notice when Sakurai called her cute, he blushed from his ears? That was quite realistic, rarely happens in anime xD |
