Is that the case for everyone? Is this anime going up in popularity or going down in popularity?
I'm not sure because the ratings are down from week one..
But the comments on episode discussion are positive..

Just imagine the MC being an ugly fatso gamer™, and this whole thing falls apart.

This ^^^

In real life, she would be an ugly fatso gamer desperate for a boyfriend.

The boy would also be an ugly fatso gamer incel.
Akane didn't even play before she met that other guy, her being an 'ugly fatso gamer' makes no sense. She looks fairly normal and real to me, though of course she would likely have more than just Momo as a friend in real life.

Good looking introverted pro gamers are rare but do exist. They usually link up with girl streamers and gamers quite easily and that's more or less exactly what's happening here so it's not that far from reality or anything

Very cute. 

I love wholesome romances like this with no drama between the main couple. 

This was the series I was most looking forward to this season as one of my favourite romance series is Recovery of an MMO Junkie which is similar.

Honestly i'm conflicted about the age gap between them, actually hoping they start dating after he ends high school at least... Besides that, I'm enjoying this anime a lot!!! That scene where Akane had to throw her things out hit me since i'm a person who gets quite attached to things too, and I don't like throwing them away lol. I'm so glad she kept her grandma's bear though... Also the post-credit scene was really cute!

I think the point of this story is precisely about how they will be learning from each other, so I think it will take a while. I also appreciated how her behavior towards him became more respectful as soon as he saw him in his uniform. She was more clingy and fawning then, roles reversed on this one, or so they made it seem. As many lines as she crossed on the first one, we can chalk it up to not knowing Yamada’s age, but we’ll see how this progresses. The whole going to his house late at night feels like a step back tho.

Basically too early to criticize the age gap, excellent story pacing maybe avoids this. Also manga readers seem to have absolutely no issue with it.

I’ am not kidding when I say, this anime is the best and my personal favorite this season! Like, wow I just….. this hits deep. Main girl and all her struggles in life just feels so relatable somehow and in a way is compelling to watch since, we’re (or at least I’ am) so used to “perfect” girls and the way they are usually portrayed in anime, so to see this time a very real reflection of a Japanese girl going through hardships, and basically getting drunk to ease her pains, really makes me emotional while watching this series. Also Yamada’s presence is soothing, while in his own way he is noticing the changes around her, and I like how he’s providing some kind of support/relief for her even if he doesn’t fully realize it yet, he’s kind-hearted, and patient! As someone who is going through some tough times, stress this anime is so comforting to watch, and for the first time ever, this early into a new series, I need this anime to get a season 2 announcement asap, this is healing my soul ❤️

I like Yamada a good bit, he's considerate when needed to and gave Akane a bed for the night. 

Just hope i get used to Akane soon then i might like this anime quite a bit more.

Does no one else find it alarming that Yamada’s in HIGH SCHOOL??????? How old is Akane because if she’s significantly older this is going to get very weird and very red flag

shes 2nd year in uni so they're only around 2 years apart
pfft that's nothing to someone like me who has read manga with 20 years age gap between couples

Still doesn't stand out that much for me, but at least it surprised me with the "Yamada is a high schooler" thingy. Ik he's in his last year but still, it's not that common for a FL to be older and be called onee-san in a not-jokingly way. Also is kinda weird for a 17/18 yr old boy to be visited by drunk women that are at least 20, but who i'm to say ig :|. Anyways, we'll se how this turns out, hopes are up!

I loved that Momo character. Not only she's cute, she also throws blunt truths at Akane like real friends do. And watching her drunk was soooooo cute.

this felt like a filler episode more than a plot driving one, which is fine, but i wouldn't expect episode 2 to be this boring after what happened in ep 1. idk, it was fine.

A nice episode with quite bit of symbolism. 
Yamada breaking the old bf's pendant and ruri moving on from him as well as moving on with life, choosing whats important in life for her at the moment and what she needs. 
Momo can be mature and adorable too, shes like the perfect roommate for akane, knows how to give her support while also being a doofus herself. 
Last scene was cute, yamada opening up a little and showing care towards akane.

I thought Yamada would be older but he turned out to be in high school. Should have learned by now to not judge by appearances.

Pretty cliche, but I can't get enough of it. The story progression is so far flawless. Momo is cool af as a side character. And the guy, Yamada, is an absolute legend.

It was nice to see Yamada step out of his shell a little bit in this episode. Still holding up my red flag for the moment. But Akane seems like a sweet person, she's just caught up in heartbreak. This episode didn't really DO anything for me. Not sure how to explain it, but Akane really falls fast for guys that are caring. And this is LITERALLY the first guy she meets in the SAME GAME her ex met his current girlfriend.

I can't even... I read the description before watching. I still can't even...

Oh, so Akane is actually older than him. College student, at least 20 y/o - because she's drinking already and that's the age to drink in Japan.

That's interesting. Didn't get to see a lot of love stories like this. However, this can only really work well if the girl is still young herself. A 28M would not be chasing a 30F, under normal circumstances.

I'm 100% sure Rurihime is a G.I.R.L. (Guy In Real Life) with how cutesy she acts in game and the how she mentions that she gets free stuff from other players
Also poor highschooler Yamada being bothered these past few nights by drunken college girls (I swear this only sounds good on paper you perverts)

oookay, i spoke too soon and yamada is still in highschool...
i don't know how i feel about this yet. and it's not because of the age gap. two years is perfectly normal. but they're in different levels of life, i guess? it irks me a little because i've been in akane's shoes once and it didn't work for a lot of reasons, but our lives being so different was the major one.
at least it seems yamada lives alone and kinda earns some money, so he's already not the average high schooler anyway.

i liked this episode a little less than the first one. yamada's character still feels a little bit too plain for me. and akane, she's okay. i don't dislike her. she just isn't the kind of female i relate to enough to like her.
