| Good episode, liked the "Da Capo 2" 's poster in the background, let's see what happens next. |
| lol XD in akibahara satou trying to see the "pants" of toy misako (if im not wrong) its so stupid.. XDD I was thinking he trying to take it but he is peeping -_- XDD btw in the end he's meet hitomi? hmm.. it is getting interesting from here.. yey yeah!!! XD |
| I just love seeing otaku culture episodes in anime, it never gets tiring. It was hilarious seeing Sato getting sucked in. Remember, the golden rule is to buy it RIGHT NOW! That super alien ghost childhood friend maid robot combination was nuts :p if they follow through with the eroge I'm willing to bet he'll use Misaki as the model for one though. |
 |
| The animation reminds me of K-On! and Shinchan, the hell happened? Good episode though. |
| Of course, eroge automaticaly lead to Akihabara! xD So Satou continue is journey as an otake, where he meet his sempai. It look like she is someone special to him. I wonder if she will be disgusted to what he have become. Next episode, it seem like he agree to take part of Misaki project. Maybe his sempai will convince him. Edit : And yeah, the animation quality really dropped in this episode, the face were often detailled to the minimum. |

| mwt up with the senpai. throw a wrench in misako plans? |

| That Strike Witches poster~! D: |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| lol Yamazaki, Kaoru and Satou are so funny when they chat with each other xD Oh and Kaoru is such a good friend :p LOL Kaoru is so funny xD WOAHH~~!! That ending.. that was so epic! O.O Getting really interesting :D |

| It's nice to have a friend who shares your hobbies and passion yeah? :D |

| I noticed too the change of art in this episode, it seemed more inaccurate in its unaccuracy. But great episode, this is all so realistic and funny.. |
| That was a good change of atmosphere, seeing them hang out outside of the apartment. I just hope he doesn't become too anxious and suddenly have things go wrong. |
 |
| Visit to Akiba the sacred land.. I would love to be there someday. That character Satou thought of was hilarious.. Senpai kitaaaaa-!! |
| Trip to Akihabara Tha body pillow lol |
 |
| O shit that was one hell of a main heroine XD ERMAGOD his friend is back >.> I wonder what kind of role she is going to play another great episode!!! |
 |
| In my opinion, this episode is making the series feel extremely convoluted thus far. While it is an effort to 'introduce' hobbies for the main character Satou, the main idea seems off, as if this anime is beating about the bush. Hope it circles back after some episodes. |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| I like how his character is starting to unfold and develop in this episode. I'm also liking the opening its really good. |
 |
| REAL LIFE GIRLS ARE NOTHING BUT TRASH. meh, I liked the whacked out animation. It kind of fits the tone of the series. |

| I actually liked this weird animation x) And I loled so hard when Satou was listing all those things about their gal character xD And it was really interesting to see all those shops! |
 |
| this show is redonk lol, senpai noticed him at the end :p |
| I hope senpai will improve the comedy aspect of this show, it's still incredibly boring so far. |
| Lol some Beastie Boy intergalatic shit when Tatsuhiro imagined what a robot gal game would be like. Also, RG SERIES SUPER FACULTY ROBOT MACHINE - Z |

| That animation looked so derpy lol |
 |
| I allready knew Yamazaki was not the best hikikomori doctor in town, but he's also the worst hentai and a misogynist. He needs to fix his own issues first and does not deserve to share his name with one of Japan's finest whiskies XD Also, the series' biggest ship has just embarked. olmecalmighty said: Well that’s weird; Akihabara is one hell of a place for a hikikomori to be. I don't think hikikomori is quite the same as agoraphobia. Agoraphobes want to go outsied, but are afraid to, hikikomori just don't want to. There's overlap for sure, but it's not the same. |

Hope it circles back after some episodes. this, + i feel that the humor they use is kinda cheap but i do like it when it gets serious, the ending got me a little bit hooked looking forward to ep 5 |
| The Technical aspect of the show is weak, i wish it was better. Good Episode. |
| Holy shit the animation and the art where shit this episode, hope it doesn't stay like that ! |
| Somehow, I knew he'd combine a shit ton of unrealistic elements into the main heroine..... the ghost, alien and fox was unexpected though xD |
 |
| Let me ... you know ... just tie my shoelace ... |
 |
| Animation seemed really choppy and sloppy....I hope that aspect of the show improves. The story was great though. |
 |
on 
| Just casually rewatching the show. I forgot about the art quality dip in this episode. It was still good, though. |
 |
| Yamazaki what have you done |
| I don't think the first two-thirds were bad, but I kind of felt like I was being given a lesson on otaku culture. Except for a few scenes (Sato comparing the basic character principles to Misaki, and his flashback), I didn't find it interesting. I was amused by the moment of self reference (appeal to the masses but turn their world upside down), and the Frankenstein's monster OC. But then there was a really long pause where nothing really happened, at face value at least. It wasn't really boring, in fact it was a little bit of relief after the otaku jokes. I guess Sato was observing real-life humans passing by. I definitely didn't expect Sato's senior to turn up, and by the looks of it, she turned out much better than Sato, if one considers they were friends in high school. |
| He is becoming a big otaku. |
 |
| As I thought, getting used to this art and animation is gonna be tough. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| lol.... for someone who's a NEET, is it really okay to be spending that much money on Misao-tan merchandise? XDDD |
| for some reason this keeps me glued to my tv ...it's really cool this anime 5/5 |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| Sato appears to be a talented writer...I'd play his eroge about the goddess. "But aren't maids kind of..." "DUMBASS!" The best eroge can turn ugly stereotypes into great sexual fantasies. Part of me can't believe Sato's never heard of these anime/eroge cliche characters before. Then again, he did just discover Internet porn. "Pretty awesome! She doesn't do that kind of stuff on TV, does she? But now every time you see her..." Doujinshi in a nutshell. Sato's really hung up on that Misao girl from the one game as his waifu. He's gone full weeb... "She's not just a robot...she's a maid robot!" "YOU'RE AMAZING!" Oh my god, they're totally satirizing the production of ridiculous moe VNs/anime and it's beautiful. The mysterious senpai appears... |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| This episode makes me want to go on a "pilgrimage to the Holy Land" as well! I've heard that expression many times before and was a bit weirded out by it... but I guess it's either a popular phrasing predating this anime, or a line from this anime. So now I feel more comfortable using it. :P Call me weird, but I liked the drop of quality in animation. I assumed it was done on purpose, to make it look funnier, and at least for me it worked. But I guess I really am a weirdo like that. It's funny that Sato's life really becomes a "gal game" like that. My favorite character so far has got to be Yamazaki though, he's just too funny and relatable for me. |
| Right now the biggest mystery of this series is how the hell is he able to afford all of that @_@ And finally, senpai appears, that's what I was awaiting! |

| Ahhh a holy pilgrimage to the holy land where all the fellow weebs and otaku visit... Seeing Sato and Yamazaki just going out together and having fun carelessly with such passion really just made me smile, such joyful moments for them, but I know that it won't last as it should have. Well, at least Sato got a few bits of inspiration for the character- which he rejected. BTW, Yamazaki's skill to draw a character based on vague descriptions alone is absolutely incredible! The animation in some of the scenes in this ep was downright bad, but I don't really hate it tbh. SENPAI? |
  |
| Was it Akihabara? :) Haha, that concept of main character was ridiculous and bizarre. ;p Next episodes should be awesome, as for Satou's high school friend appeared. Maybe she will come up with new conspiracies or stuff, lol. |
