To be honest... I didn't expect to see a breakup scene right in the first minute...

I didn't read the manga but I've been looking forward to this adaptation since it was first announced... but I don't know why the first episode didn't leave a good impression on me... moreover, I'm kinda annoyed by this type of character.

I just hope it will be a fun romcom :)

How can I say about this anime if not that it will be a romance that progresses little by little in the Nagatoro style but more sweet and without cute toxicity.
It can also be said that we all want to be that Gamer that a pretty girl falls in love with.
But of course being a professional player that is easier. Although she didn't know. It will be a beautiful and fun anime to watch and many will surely feel identified.

While sad, guess she was lucky to get dumped! Why would you date him if he goes to another girl online, tsk...
Fun and good OP. This feels like Netjuu so that's fun! Also Yamada; don't talk, just stare <3

I think there's some potential in this show, but it's hard to say whether it'll actually turn out good or not since its just the first episode. I cringed a bit during the first episode, or at least the first 15 minutes, but I'm willing to give it a chance and watch a few more. The art style and premise are cool, but I'm just not really feeling the humor yet. 

Don't hate on me for but one thing for sure is that I find that the main character, the girl, is pretty annoying. For me atleast.

Wow, this is really cute and uplifting first episode despite the breakup part.
For some reason it reminds me Lovely★Complex...I guess with its atmosphere and visual gags.

Sad and pathetic but still so cute and uh... did she just get so drunk she doesn't remember going back to his place!?

That had better not be a bait and switch move, proper grown up romance please, not a whole season of teasing what might happen.

That was fun, Yamada looks cool, so aloof but deep down a good guy. But I have a feeling communicating with him won't be easy at all. Looking forward to more.

Well aside from a simple recap of the episode, let’s actually discuss said episode.
Animation- solid for a romance, love the color scheme and the artwork in general! The characters in-game are wonderful too, glad they went for cute and quirky rather than the generic character schemes you usually get in video game anime.
Music- OP and ED are good, but it’s the soundtrack throughout that does it for me, like I’m listening to LoFi in the background, total sets the mood for this anime!
Attention to detail- The way they animated her stumbling and then Yamada with the bag and bandaids was perfect! Small things like that really bring the story to life.

I wasn’t anticipating this anime at all, nor have I read the manga, so I’m glad I stumbled upon it!
If the rest of this season lives up to this first episode, this should be a pretty promising show!

What are everyone else’s thoughts? Promising or too soon to tell?

Yay it’s here!! The seiyuus really suit them. I’ve read the manga and I like how their relationship progressed. I can’t wait to see the rest of the guild too lolollll

Great first episode can’t wait for more!!!! Can’t miss with Ucchi. Yamada is so ( ˘ ³˘)♥︎

Yeah, I hated the girl main charcter. So fucking childish and sooo boyfriend dependent.

Why are you so fucking scared of being alone?
Why the fuck are you skipping classes just because a break up??
Why the fuck is her entire personality just having a boyfriend?

I like strong independent women, josei like main characters.

You can tell the author is 20 something years old, if not even less.
What a disgrace of main character.

I fucking love Yamada's character in the game. Well, I like his personality as a whole. A maincharacter that isn't blushing after communicating with a girl for a second. 
Akane's pretty fine for now, but her actions are somewhat weird. She's trying to get back at her boyfriend, but I shouldn't take it too seriously.
The character interactions are the key factor for me continueing this anime. It's hilarious for real. It's backed up with great soundtrack and character design.

I think if you gave it a chance, you will see in future episodes how she
I too enjoy independent & strong female characters, but the reality is not everyone is like that lol and we go thru experiences before we get there. And I think that’s the charm of such characters :)

This was so amusing to watch! I haven't watched new anime for years but I happened to stumble upon this one on Twitter and decided to give it a try!
Akane's level of pettiness is so funny, and honestly, so relatable!

Can't wait to see what the next episode will bring ♥

i really liked how the whole thing matched the manga’s vibe. The first ep w the smooth animations and side dialogues rlly added a cherry on top to the whole thing. This is the kinda stuff i wanna see in shoujo animes too. Its sad how we dont get those anymore even tho the demand is high out there. Also i wasnt a fan of the manga a lot but damn the anime rlly makes me want to pick it up again

Outstanding music all the way through. Yuuho Kitazawa singing on the opening theme song is what got me here. Otherwise, I tend to run from anything with a game/gamer theme. But this is really all about the romance, so I'm in! I'll be cheering for Akane as she goes for the super rare 0.01% all powerful thing called love.

Now, about their ages... Akane and Momo seem to be university students, but I read that Yamada-kun is actually in high school still. Which would explain him drinking cola while Amane was throwing down beers. Is this an age gap romance?!?!

at first i was a little bit underwhelmed , rating it a 7, but the further in i got , the more i became hooked on this series. the two leads are delightful and i love the contrast of yamada being deadpan and akane being very emotional. in that way they remind me of the leads in monthly girsl nozaki kun, in fact the show as a whole has similar tone to that show. ill definitely be keeping an eye on this show this season!

My first look at the sinopsis really gave me a willing felling to watch this anime. After watching my avalliation was "Just OK", there was no exciting moments, the male character looks really boring! Do you guys think is worth to continue watching?! Please tell me!!

In a couple I think it's nice to share what you like to your lover, and have them get hooked on it. However, I don't think it's fair to fall for someone else in the game you introduced to your girlfriend! If Takuma couldn't be that faithful to Akane, then he doesn't deserve her!! Her interaction with Yamada was interesting. I know some people take a while to say something, but I didn't think that also applies to text, their relationship will sure be a fun one!😂

I love the art and dynamic between the two, it's amusing. Is it not weird to anyone that he's just a teen though? The description says high school boy. Besides that I can't wait to see more.

One of the manga that I wanted to read before the anime started, might as well invest in the anime since it's now here.

KANA-BOON feat. Yuuho Kitazawa OP is good, while Ryujin Kiyoshi's ED is decent.

For Akane Kinoshita to lose her boyfriend Takuma Furukawa to a gamer girl online, the irritation is just as infuriating, even confiding in her friend Momoko Maeda. But the Afro "Yamada" guildmate who's just as unsociable in real life as he is in-game, trying to go all keyboard-warrioring about her breakup troubles towards this gamer guy stranger, he's not interested in hearing her struggles. Even worse, the thought of the online game's on-site event that would just repeat her dissonance all over again, Akane has to move on, she is going to make Takuma regret his decision dumping her. But like a wounded Cinderella in need of help, it's that "Yamada" that would help her get on her feet...exactly as how he's like in-game.

But the Afro Akito Yamada not recognizing Akane as her real self, it's a sense of deja vu as he's the pro-gamer of the game that they're playing, completely ignoring her. Akane forcing her way to proclaim to Takuma and his bimbo girl Eri that she is his boyfriend, it feels like the battle's not won, and neither is the war. To make matters worse, the revenge that Akane planned didn't turn into fruition, and facing the guy that isn't interested in things like romance, her day is nothing but a memory that she wanted to forget. At the very least, Yamada stayed behind and tended to her wounds, which she is surprisingly delighted, with a booze's treat.

A hangover later, and finding the same Yamada in her house next to her computer, what's the ged-up?

A good start to this romance show, all things considered that's from Madhouse.

Correction: Yamada took her to his house that night, and that's his gaming setup we are talking about. Observe that Akane played her game in a small laptop.

This is an... Okay start I guess? I think Akane is pretty cute and funny at times, but not sure how I feel about Yamada yet. He kinda rubs me the wrong way in certain points, but it's fine. It's only the first episode and it might be too soon.

That dude really missed out though, Akane looks like a keeper!

This was really different from what I thought it was going to be like, but let's see where this goes from here

The episode was quite a nice start and very light and fun comedy. What I liked the most here and that is totally unrelated is that the Yamada guy looks EXACTLY like one of the characters I created myself, even with the little addiction to coke by what it seems, and that made ir specially fun to watch. But really, it is quite promising, I am interested in seeing the next episodes.

This anime is so relatable to my life experiences. My ex cheated on me with a girl on a game called SweetDance. It’s a rhythm game but you can socialize and have a lover. I felt heartbroken when I found out. I even tried to make him look at me again, but it didn’t work. Now I’ve moved on and is happy with the person I am with, hoping bad things won’t happen again. I feel some sort of connection to Akane so I will continue to watch this anime! Also I’m such a fangirl for hot and cold faced guys on the outside and soft hearted on the inside aaaaahhh! >w<

Yamada is a high school student while Akane is a 2nd year college student. So yaa there is atleast 2-3 years age gap.
