I feel like two romcoms today seem flat even if this one with game theme. This seems like Wotakoi, but different development i guess.

I miss Netojuu no Susume.

Good, Yamada is hot and nice, it would be nice if he was the MC, that girl is annoying.

I like how they did yamada..an aloof character that doesn't have much interest in anything outside his gaming career and experiences but can be considerate and really observant when something is wrong. 
I definitely would've gave it a 5/5 for ep1 but takuma, takuna, tanuki whatever the hell his name is is legit an idiot and the animation for the new girlfriend was just horrendous. Especially her lips =/. But that very very brief and short wholesome moment at the bar was really lovely.

I've been following this manga for FOREVER so I was super excited when they announced an anime. Love love love!!! Seems like it's going to be pretty accurate to the actual manga.

I think the only sad thing I would have to say is that I like the art style of the manga better? I think the animators still did a lovely job, but maybe I've just gotten used to the art style of the manga since I've been reading it for a while (I know the mangaka's style has also improved drastically over the course of its release). That's just me being picky!

Pretty fun first episode. I already like Akane a bunch, it's nice to see that spiteful girls get some love and not everything has to be the perfect yamato nadeshiko waifu character.

Yamada is kinda fun in his own way too, being so deadpan and working as the tsukomi kind of sidekick. Hope there's more to him than just being a pro gamer.

A great start for my first Spring 2023 show, I already really like this, after coming off such a good romcom last season this one is filling that void nicely for me, I wasn’t sure how good a romance founded on gaming would be but this really wowed me, I enjoyed the gaming references and Akane and Yamada already look to be a good time from their few interactions, I especially loved their bit together at the bar, my man was downing colas like nobody’s business as Akane poured her heart out lol. I’d also like to play Yamada in cod, tho if he’s a pro I’d probably get smoked lol.

Both the OP and ED were awesome as well, you can’t miss with KANA-BOON and I really love that ED by Ryujin Kiyoshi, I think they both might be favorites of mine for this season. I really look forward to more of this, my Saturdays this season are gonna be nice and chill looks like lol.

Ok I liked it more than what I thought I would so I’ll continue watching for now. I was cautious going in because of how shoujo is nowadays but I found myself drawn in by the great writing, VA’s and animation. I’m really interested in Yamada’s character since he just has a lot of realistic responses and his monotone voice makes seeing him interact with Akane’s responses very funny. Akane is a bit over the top but I do like her and it’s her nature, along with Yamada’s, that really makes the show for me so far.

Episode 2 Prediction: Akane just threw up on herself from drinking heavily and that’s why she’s in Yamada’s bed. I doubt they did anything but I love the obvious set up. I could see a misunderstanding happening from Akane because she may not let Yamada explain anything. Whatever happens, I’m so ready to watch!

pretty fun start, better than i expected tbh. akane is cute and i'm liking her personality. i relate to yamada as well lowkey, be wanting to go home asap.
i can't help but hear itoshi rin when he speaks tho. just uchiyama kouki things.

surprised madhouse took on a romance anime but hey, i ain't complaining.
looking forward to the rest of this now.

The only thing I'm concerned about is animation quality, since as a manga reader I know the story and characters would be flawless. And since the quality turns out to be great, yep, a contender for AOTS since 1st EP for me.

Decent introductory episode. Yamada did suprisingly well if that was his first one on one time with a chick. If this was irl he would have done a few cringe things due to inexperience.

Akane seems like the average everyday girl. Wanting to get herself dolled up to spite her ex haha. Anyways nothing more to say about it, we'll see how it moves forward

3.5/5

So far so good.  Yamada is quite the gentlemen.  He wouldn't turn his camera on because she was in the bed.  That's sweet.  

He'll be a tough nut to crack, but ganbarette Akane!  I'd go for Yamada if I were 2D.

SPOILERS: Animation is hot and cold, which feels intentional. Simplistic artwork during sillier scenes and in-game, the animation switches to top-notch for more emotional sequences, and the contrast is effective. The strongest aspect of this episode is how realistically the MC Akane is written. It’s uncomfortable how she’s treated by her ex-boyfriend, and how unsupportive her friend is who she first looks to for emotional support. Her reactions ring painfully true to reality, from venting in-game to a stranger, to a failed attempt at a revenge glow-up, to drinking herself into oblivion. Much more reality than I’m used to in anime of any stripe, and again super uncomfortable, right down to waking up in the bed of a the only person—who she just met—who has lent her the slightest bit of a sympathetic ear. Definitely has my curiosity piqued.

the cliffhanger though. well played.

5/5 episode. looking forward to next one. this season is to a really great start.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

I started this on a whim with no advance knowledge, and I fell instantly in love. The humor hits well, and the main character is relatable and charming. Yamada-kun is clueless but accidentally has the moves. Very curious and excited to see where this goes.

Great start! Honestly loving it already. Akane and Yamada seems like really entertaining characters so far, plus they're chemistry is looking good. I am not used to hearing Inori Minase with a lower voice, but I am digging it. 

Takuma really dumped Akane smh, making gamer bros look bad. Aye, Yamada gonna turn it around though. 

Also, one more thing, College romance, let's go! Madhouse is going to cook.

This was a great first episode, looking forward to seeing more. Oh, and if you dislike Akane, you're probably a shitty person. 

Just saying. 
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

Game playing big fan boy and a amateur game playing girl's love story is the concept, which has been shown a lot of time. It's a pretty average start to the series. Looking forward how it will advance from here.
