----------------------------------------


Ako's jealousy is so obvious lol.
More game tropes like usual. I find it kinda funny at how Nishimura made the bold move to go to Ako's house. Her room looks simple tbh, pretty much like an ordinary girl.

Ako being surprised like that was funny tho i have to say this episode came earlier then expected they skipped a few parts.
Not in a bad way tho.
I expected to see Ako's mother in the next episode but seeing her now is fine as well.
We didn't get to see Ako in full sniper mode tho.

Ako's mother is kind tho.

I was expecting Level(=book) 2 to be done in 3 episodes, but it was finished in 2 (episodes 4-5). Unfortunately, this means that there were a lot more cuts than with Level 1. A few disappointing omissions were:


So yeah, maybe it's because I've read the novels, but the pacing felt pretty rushed. I understand that there are time constraints, but this was a pretty important story arc for Ako, Hideki, and Akane. I was hoping that the scene between Hideki and Ako would have been longer, but this one wasn't that important, so I suppose it's OK. Hopefully, they won't shorten Level 3's second-to-last scene.

On the other hand, I guess I should be happy because there's a chance that we'll get to see Level 6 (my other favorite book in the novel series so far)... It would definitely be a better place to end than Level 4, which is what I originally thought would end the anime. I just hope it doesn't end with Level 5; that's a horrible place to end.


Other than that, a decent episode overall. I expected more than just decent, but that's my problem, so 3/5.

That FPS part was really fun....Ako The Normies Killer Sniper xD

Ako's mom looks like she can be her twin but my God is she MEGA HOT....And that lewd scene with Ako was too much for my body to handle (God damn it Rusian why didn't you smash)

Other than that, this episode was really cute and all that's left for me to see in this series now is for Ako and Rusian to finally kiss or something....PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN BEFORE THE ANIME IS OVER

Also I think everyone called the new girl in the game being Schwein's pink haired friend IRL lol

Damnit Rusian! You failed to hit that when you were invited! Sigh...well at least Ako's gorgeous mother approves. I guess it's only a matter of time...right?

Judging by next week's title the anime should catch up with the manga next week or the week after at the most. The manga mind you, not the light novels.

The scene where Rusian opens the door, closes it and then comes back and she's wearing less was pretty funny. The setup felt like a generic ecchi series, but the second time he opened the door was an example of why this series stands out to me, going further than the generic "accidentally seeing a half-naked girl" joke.
Brilliant.

Brilliant.

I agree with you. This anime knows, how to handle the ecchi in an enjoyable way. I'm curious, how future ecchi content is presented.

Overall the episode is really good. Ako's and Hideki's relationship is further expanded and Hideki doesn't act like a 0815 harem protagonist, but tries to push their relationship in the right direction. This series improves as it goes on and thus it's one of the shows to watch out for. Nevertheless, I have doubts on how they're going to end this anime.

Well that's interesting, about change of pace into FPS game. I really hope that the headshot will be "detailed" like the Sniper Elite game.
I knew it, it's Akiyama that play that foreign character.
Aahh, what a romance... Ako's condition just getting worse, while Akane's trying to get closer with Rusian.
Not to mention that Ako's mother is HOT AS DAMN!!!

a few topics ago i remember arguing with someone about that same question, but now i'm starting to agree with that guy. she is not right in the head, like to the point of mentally illness

although, smashing might actually help to stop being dependent on games. altho then you got a newer, bigger problem

Its not that she's mentally ill, she just reminds me of like a NEET/Hikkimori that doesn't like to separate her identity from a game world. She knew what she was doing because she wants him anyways. This is evidenced as how she differentiates between intimacy in the game hotels the other episode and now in the real world. Rationalization: I would hit it :D! I'd try to have a 3some with her and her mom muahaha. Or her and the school president ;).

I can't wait for the scene where Ako tries to get Rusian to reluctantly declare himself literally as her boyfriend.

If I visited Ako I would've cuddled her all day. She looks fluffy with that hair.

Lol that nude scene was crazy... Nishimura VA really rocked that scene.
The first half kinda felt dragged but the second half in that room was really memorable.
The RPG and real life scene intertwined are really working well for the anime.

I lost all my hopes.

Akane on the manga has cool interactions with the MC. It goes out of his way to establish they are really good friends. Here in the anime they took the same amazing scene and dumbed it down to a tsundere trope.

At least the comedy still holds it from me. That resurrection joke was funny even though I knew it was coming, and the music cues were on point.
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.

But does the heart have the right perspective?

The way the episode started had me a little worried about where this would go (it seemed to be heading in a direction I didn't want). Thankfully, from the halfway mark onwards it really turned around by once again focusing on Ako and Rusian as a couple rather than doing anything much with him and the other girls. I'm also glad the show is seemingly taking Ako's issues at least somewhat seriously as well, what with that ending and all.

On a different note, it was pretty funny how Ako stripped completely after the utterly predictable scene when Rusian walked in on her getting changed; a nice change of pace, if nothing else.

The more I watch this, the more I realize I shouldn't judge anime by the genres entirely because the more I watch this, the more I like it. Definitely gonna give the manga a try at some point.

After that FPS game they played, I realized even more just how much her life is influenced by games. She definitely has somewhat of a mental issue.

I like that Ako's mom is essentially a larger version of Ako. :3

I also love how Ako took her underwear off when Rusian entered her room.
"Be gentle.."

Reading some of the comments here made me want to read the novels. I generally dislike when animes cut details when being adapted from their source materials.

May I ask if it has some English translated volumes?

This show continues to explore very interesting topics and the whole "neet stereotype". I never expected it to be so touching in terms of exploring Ako's psychological and social issues.

If there was a negative side, it is other characters - really wish other' characters would develop. Akane is starting to get boring and her and MC behaving like rivals/enemies lacks any punch so far. The club prez is literally "cash shop player" trope and nothing more so far.

Otherwise the show continues to surpass my expectations.

4/5

Invited? Nah, Ako's mom was like go let yourself in as Ako's mom gave Rusian the key to Ako's room and her room literally said "Ako's Room".

Ako would make a sick sniper girl. She went 4/4 with them snipes. And here I was thinking Ako would be the betraying game player.

Ako may look innocent but she knows the stuff married couples do. This girl was ready to go.

Ako's mom pretty much has the same personality as Ako.

Lost ma shit at that point xD didn't see that coming at all.
it's been a while since i laughed so hard at ecchi cliche scene xD xD

DAT Fps game looks so fun!!! even tho it was pretty classic. but it was well made especially the slow mo scene xD really cool.
and i just realize that this show, this anime has a purpose. it is to motivated all of the "Hikikomori" in japan to go to school again, i think. and i think it was well made as the purpose itself but i don't think it will work.......either way, i'm glad Ako was back to normal again. Rusian suddenly said he wanted to quit school was suprised me well tho. a little bit harsh to make her to go to school again but at least he didn't do it like what all parents do in real life to their kids if their kids are like Ako.

Ako's mom is so kind......but unfortunately that's only in anime :(

very good episode overall. looking foward to the next episode :D

Well, it did feel a bit rushed to me (and a lot like a rushed final episode), and apparently there was some stuff that could have been included (maybe making this two episodes instead of one). But I still thought it was a good episode. And Hideki impressed me more with the way he handled it than he might otherwise have done, which I don't think would have been good for Ako in the long run.

Mama Ako is best mama. Captain of the ship, I get the feeling she'll be that recurring character who seemingly knows everything and leads the characters to where they need to go.

And by god, that ecchi scene was pretty good. Been awhile since I got a chuckle out of a sexual based joke.

It was fun to get another game thrown into this anime.
There's things I love about Ako, and things I hate...mainly that she can't grasp reality...which I think will come into play later. I think she will eventually grasp reality and not care about Games and Rusian as well, which would be HEARTBREAKING. That's how i see it at least.

Omg Ako's mother though...Sweet Jesus.

Also Ako in her room...she had me rolling when she said "be Gentle" hahaha
