| Damn, Yamazaki is savage. |
| Ouch, Satou got owned, well at least he's now back on reality. Yamazaki is my favorite character so far, love him. By the look of it, Satou is about to go outside again, slowly progressing to be better. |
| lol yamazaki is such a troll. Poor Sato got trolled, but the new girl...love drama inc! |
 |
| Misaki was so cute in those outfit trying so hard to help Satou, so there will be a new girl , i don't really like that, love triangle incoming........ |
| i did enjoy this episode , but the plot keep getting weaker each episode I mean misaki now can't even read between the lines , did they have to make her that stupid ? new character appears out of the blue , like what the fuck ? She just heard her brother calling satou and she was like oh i knew some one by that name , must call him !! though it is Oviously a replacment for hitomi , so they can have some more episodes though i did like the part when they played that kickass ost during the stairs scence . 7/10 so far |

| What's more impressive is that the game would actually survive until he would be 50. Wonder what the class rep is looking for in Satou, maybe she will be his salvation? |
 |
| Wow...what a great episode! Kudos to Yamazaki for doing his best to pull Satou out of his obsession. Too bad it didn't work out the way he planned. |
 |
on 
| fuckin knew it was Yamazaki |
| I thought the class rep would be Mia but man, Satou got owned XD |
 |
| yamazaki is my idol lol |
| I don't like Yamazaki, but at least he did something useful for once. I bet Satou doesn't even know the word "moderation." Misaki's commitment is inexplicable. |
| Yamazaki was too cruel, poor Satou. Misaki cosplaying was kawaii! |
 |
| Haha it was Yamazaki! Well played, the thought of Yamazaki being Mia didn't even pass through my mind. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| EEEWWWWWW, possible 50 year old RMT failure Satou is sooooooooo disgusting D: |
| lmao what a great depiction of game addictiveness...Satou got so playeeed by yamazaki aylmao!! I made fun of the mia thing cuz one of my friends has a crush on a girl named mia....miaaaaaaa!!! haha great awesome episode again :D 5/5 |

| Mia Desuuu LMFAO! |
| Misaki is just so cute |
  |
| Misaki wanting to be moe is so cute!!!!!! Also lol, I knew it was Yamazaki. |
 |
| "Now he's even worse than before!" The addictive power of RPGs. I understand why China's tried so hard to get them banned now. Wooow...just last episode I said Misaki should cosplay to get Sato's attention. It's like she heard me. SATO DO NOT BULLY THE MISAKI REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Oh god...Mia was Yamazaki the whole time? I knew there were no real girls on the Internet. The image of 50-year-old Sato still sucked into the RPG was terrifying. I really did not need that many close-ups on his decaying, rotten mouth. I'm really curious as to what that girl from his school wants with Sato. Poor Misaki...she got all dressed up as the perfect moe girl only for Sato to not even be there. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| "People IRL are F'D UP" This line gets me every time ahahaha |
 |
| I know Sato learned a valuable lesson and all, and he's an idiot and deserves it... but this still went too far. Yamazaki is an asshole for pulling shit like that. And Misaki sucks too. She doesn't understand Sato at all, and she's making a complete fool of herself. I though senpai was a cool character who was at least relatable. I am curious how this new character will turn out. At least this episode was kinda funny in places, but it's nowhere near as clever as some of the early episodes. |
| I knew Mia would turn out to be a guy irl, but Yamazaki?! Nice prank, bro (okay, okay, more like life lesson). Honestly, I'm a bit sad how banal and uninspired "morals" from some of these episodes are. You want to shut in and keep playing games?! You're gonna get fat and even more pathetic! Yeah, shocking and mind-blowing conclusion, who'd have guessed that :x |
  |
| oofff being someone whose looks have really worsened in the last years this episode was hard to watch, like a premonition. Last episode i was all like "huh let's look for some games where you can RMT" and after this episode it was like "ok forget it". i normally don't watch the next episode preview but i watched this one and seems like perhaps the classmate is dragging him into some kinda "happiness" cult? let's find out |
| I have played ESO a lot over the past couple years but it never got anywhere remotely close to satou holy shit. it was difficult to watch. I mostly play it on and off here and there. and i feel really bad for that girl busting her ass like that for so long without much payoff or respect. dude's being really emotionally abusive and doesn't even know it. this whole show is fucked up. |
 |
| Damn, Sato went balls deep for this girl, who was actually Yamazaki all along, it's pretty clear it's him from the moment he told Sato about partying up. That evil piece of shit. Truly a harsh way to teach Sato about the harsh reality of online gaming, but he will have to learn it sooner or later, or else he would end up being a fat, neck bearded hikikomori with experience and skills in online gaming as the only redeeming quality. The fact that the little Yoda character was also a Hikikomori was just too damn amusing, AND well well well... Looks like we got a new character introduced in the present story; former Class Rep and Sato's classmate! |
  |
| Bruh... Satou became the worst type of hikikomori and received one of the most drastic type of therapies, lol. His friend is sure a blackpiller. ;D Stench in Satou's apartment must've been horrific. Misako have to be strongly in love in him if she could stand it without vomiting. xD |

| something about this fake catgirl nya thing is so incredibly cute. Is it because she is embarrassed by it? Because she knows its fake and ridiculous? Mia is Yamazaki, well I knew she wasnt a girl because those are fake. Anime always makes online gaming so exciting while its all a bunch of clicking, 15 years ago itspecially it barely had decent animations. Satou has quite the lively fantasy doesnt he? Misaki-chan sure is cute, bute we still dont know anything about her PS: I was always wondering how he got money to exist but the parents still paying for him full? Wow thats bad PPS: WHY DONT YOU PEOPL EVER LOCK YOUR DOORS |

| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| So it's come to this...Sato has been seduced by a MMORPG and fallen into the pipe dream of earning money by in-game resource mining. An exaggerated yet cautionary tale about how introverts can retreat from the outside world where accomplishments are harder to achieve than in-game. Somewhat surprised that Sato actually wasn't involved with online role playing earlier and while making connections online can result in life long friendships, it's about acknowledging the efforts of your real tangible friends that makes life fulfilling, IMHO. Finally, let me echo the sentiments of a fellow poster: JackOfHearts said: I said this once and I will say it again: YAMAZAKI IS THE BEST SUPPORTING CHARACTER I'VE EVER SEEN !!!!!!!! YAMAZAKI IS THE BEST SUPPORTING CHARACTER I'VE EVER SEEN !!!!!!!! YAMAZAKI IS THE BEST SUPPORTING CHARACTER I'VE EVER SEEN !!!!!!!! YAMAZAKI IS THE BEST SUPPORTING CHARACTER I'VE EVER SEEN !!!!!!!! YAMAZAKI IS THE BEST SUPPORTING CHARACTER I'VE EVER SEEN !!!!!!!! I would be lucky if I actually had a friend in real life like Yamazaki. 100% agree. |
| Yamazaki's a real one. It's interesting to see how the dynamic between the two has shifted so drastically to the point where you'd find it hard to believe that Sato was once the straight man. Though it kinda just serves to illustrate my point that it doesn't make much sense for Sato to not already be in this position given how impulsive and gullible he is. In all honesty, this show's beginning to lose me. We didn't need a whole 2 episode arc to establish something that we already knew. From my perspective, this show is only complex in premise and not in execution, since it doesn't seem to have much of an idea of where it wants to go. By the way, I can't stand seeing messy rooms, so that hypothetical future at the end of the episode is what I consider to be my personal hell. |
 |
| This episode was just REAL. Glasses guy gave MC a REAL LIFE LESSON in this episode. |
| Misaki so cute trying to seduce Sato :) |
 |
| Serve you right Satou Cosplay Misaki is the best thing i saw today |

| Awesome. Misaki's Cosplay as cat character was just Lol. The Yamazaki turnaround was unexpected. LOL! OtherGuyX said: uhggg... i want some proper romance between sato and misaki!!!! fucks sake HAHAHA! This is not a romance story. If you are seeking only that. Then... sigh..... you might be in the wrong place. |
 |
That's true Meow XD |
|
| Chad Yamazaki. He really knocked some sense into Sato. But poor Sato. When you get addicted to such games it gets real hard to come out of it. You start feeling empty as all the kicks you got out of something have suddenly stopped. Wonder what's Kobayashi's deal. |
 |
| Yamazaki goes full moe girl Sato goes big Misaki goes "Nya Nya Nya" Class Rep goes blonde -_-" When i think that yamazaki tried to seduce his friend for more than a month π¨ I remember i did something like that while i was playing a game 15 years ago , hopefully i was so "cute" that it only took 1h to have my item lol Now i make male characters to avoid player trying to seduce me or avoid the strange "are you a girl" question after an hour of him helping me then ending with a "stup** nerd" comment π Well i now have ppl calling me gay cause my character is a handsome man |

Loli world is just a cute world full of cute meat |
| Those games consume your life. I guess Genshin is the closest to a Final Fantasy these years. |
| damn this is great life lesson!! good job those of you who guessed it was yamazaki!! this is shaping up to be one of the best anime ever! "Think of yourself in future"-yamazaki Also Yamazaki lol creating romantic feelings in sato successfully damn.  And all misaki does is cosplay and fail. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| 50-yr old Sato actually gave me chills I def wouldn't want my life to end up like that |
