An okay episode. I appreciate the post credit scene and getting to hear what Yamada is thinking - provides more context which doesn't hurt. Also, I want there to be romance between Eita and Akane.

So obvious Ruri = Eita.

But daaaaaang. If Yamada doesn't work out I'd def ship Akane with Eita, unless he swings a different way or already has a girlfriend or something... O-O

the blond dude is clearly Ruri there’s no doubting it.
Well we were given lots of hints, also he said he made a guild with a friend. He also gives the asme vibes, so no wonder. I hope we see new characters more often and get development. I liked Momo, Eita, i kinda like how that new girl dresses and reacts so far i hope there will be more interactions with them. We also must get answers why that girl looks like Rurihime and why Eita chose that avatar which reminds her ? A model, idol or smth ? Well she knew him also maybe be some kind of acquaintances so Eita deliberately chose avatar reminding of her, but the way he talked and behaved, i would say he is Rurihimi ... Why Akane didn't get it ? Well she saw the girl and had a biased impression, despite Momo's words she had already made her assumptions, but why she didn't have doubts when she met Eita ? Since that girl didn't recognize her there are no doubts.

Such an amazing show. So many cute characters and Akane is just beyond adorable. Yamada taking care of her was the cutest thing. She mistook Rurihime for the girl who was hanging around with Yamada but Rurihime ended up being that hot looking dude. LOL. Classic first time meetings. LMAO.

I thought the guild leader is a male, but it actually is a girl, and she looks kind of similar to how she is in the game, and the last part with his online team is so hilarious.

Runa's face when she was ignored by Akane and went to face Yamada instead... (⁠*⁠﹏⁠*⁠;⁠)
The obvious scenario would be Runa getting pissed at Akane's behaviour, but she didn't, and instead hugged Yamada's right arm like she's saying I won't let you have Yamada, and stares at her while looking like some beast protecting her own territory. It was quite an adorable scene. lmao ♪⁠ヽ⁠(⁠・⁠ˇ⁠∀⁠ˇ⁠・⁠ゞ⁠)
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

no way Rurihime is the blonde dude. lol
so now the question is who is the gothic lolita girl?

not really a surprised in MMORPG people playing as the opposite gender, speaking as former MMORPG player myself.

love the long after credit scene.

Loved the after credit scene! It was a nice look into Yamada’s perspective since we only get to see his aloof nature from Akane’s view. Looking forward to more sweet moments between the two!

Akane is on a double date or something but she wants to go home because the guy doesn't know when to stop talking lmao. Akane returns home and goes on her laptop to start up the game to see Rurihime and Yamada talking to each other but not realizing that Akane is there watching them. Akane then is at school and when she is about to return home the dude from the date sees her and they walk together towards the metro station.

Upon arriving at the station, Akane sees who she thinks is Rurihime walking with Yamada, her first thought? they're probably dating. Rurihime then asks Akane if she comes to an SOF cafe meeting. Now she stumbles against an new character we see, his name is Eita. Eita knows how to long for a long period of time as we saw, lol. Akane then arrives at the cafe and then she sees Yamada and is happy but who she thinks is Rurihime hides behind Yamada. Apparently the girl isn't even Rurihime and Akane thinks that Eita is Rurihime as the online character, got me confused there for a little bit. The last scene after the credits was funny though, now we saw how it all played out.

Rurihime's Identity
1-st isn't an argument, but yeah the person might be older/younger and different sex etc.
2-3 yes i totally agree with this plus Eita when took Akane's phone changed his attitude. Why ? Reason's: 1. She goes to their meeting place at a specific time. 2 She follows instructions Rurihime gave her (he reads them at the station), so Eita just add up those 2 and he knew it was Akane because of his instructions he saw on the phone and meeting place.
4. Agree you could totally tell he had the same vibe, friendly etc, we could saw Rurihime was nice and ready to listen and support Akane. The girl in a dress had different vibe not a personality we don't know her personality. but she also didn't recognize Akane actually she didn't know she was coming, so we rule out that girl. 

As for sister etc i think you just spoiled us. Why ? It's impossible to tell she can be anything actually i looked scenes with his proteam to find someone who might be her, but now we were showed all dudes (there were 4 of them and Yamada was 5-th), they were all men and jealous to know he had a girl in his room. She can be a younger gamer etc, but we couldn't assume sister, so i think that's a spoiler. I thought she was a friend or even a classmate, why not ? We could see they all knew each other, also she directed Eita by his name, so she is close to both Yamada and Eita. She met with Yamada, so a friend or classmate is possible. Not a GF. because Yamada told he has no GF and never had. Btw we know Akane is older than Yamada and we also have ojisan, so why they can't have a younger girl playing too ? If you would assumed she was someone's sister in the guild for reasons and gave some explanations then i would understand, but you just said it, so i think you know exactly who she is, so now it's a spoiler, hope i am wrong. So far she can be anyone, my bet a friend (childhood) / classmate. Sometimes we see a young character but in a reality an adult. There were no hints that she is a teammate i checked (well so far there wasn't).

the anime is honestly pretty good, its a pretty average story but if yamada (male lead) was a bit more interested in romance or felt anything towards her it would honeslty make the anime much better, just my opinion. (i havent read the manga yet, lets hope it proves me wrong)

Okay so the gothic loli is Eita's sister and Eita = Rurihime, that's makes sense

love ending scene from Yamada pov, yamada team reaction so funny bc that's literally true when gamer has woman at their room that's will happen.

"Women are the impossible game" --Yamada-kun.

I felt that way so many times. I like how that feeling was accurately portrayed in the final flashback.

With women, sometimes you lose and sometimes... you draw.

Even before they revealed it, I had a strong feeling Ruri was a guy, I mean they always do this in Anime/manga as a plot twist. 

I'm guessing the goth loli has a crush on Ruri IRL because her expression was that of jealousy when she saw him together with the female lead.

Nice of momo to setup a double date meeting for akane, but ofc with her crushing over yamada and not ready yet to move on its not gonna go anywhere. 
More of akanes pov, her feelings, her made up scenarios, jealousy, emotions etc. coming to terms with herself, i thought for one second she sparked up something seeing the glasses dude but the reaction she gave seeing yamada was miles different clearly showing where her heart is. 
Now we'll meet the members. ofc i have a feeling short girl is not ruri at all she really doesnt give the vibe at all tbh also an old man in the mix interesting.
