I'm so happy with this adaptation! They even added a new scene, and I0m glad they did that (Yamada is so adorable)

Next episode is going to be funny :D

Loved the rewind scene at the end!

I look forward to the opening theme by Yuuho and KANA-BOON every week. One of the best tunes for an anime this season.

What I have figured out so far: Yamada-kun is a high school student, a pro gamer, and seriously lacking in social skills. Akane is a beautiful dork who rushes headlong into scenes and repeatedly makes an ass of herself. I love a beautiful dork.  And I can't wait to learn more about these new side characters.

This is going to be the rom-com of the season.
This is in my top 3 favourite series of the season, and I agree with you on the OP. I can't stop listening to it!

They fucking got us with the goth lolita not being princess ruri, but it was actually the handsome blond guy. Akane friend stating that she's probably not a girl was correct, but he's an ikemen, so that's fine, right ? Outside of that, it was a pretty nice episode, we see a strange girl that we don't know about and the post ed scene was somewhat interest, but kinda out of place, idk why they made it like that. Excited for next week !
An Ikemen with Natsuki Hanae's voice! So, it's totally fine XD

Not the best episode yet but somehow the story is becoming more of a 'shoujo' type story. Goodness, Akane seems to fumble a lot in terms of romance and small life decisions 😆

I was very interest in this anime because of the Netjuu Susume, all the "gamers love story", and after 3 episodes I noticed that this anime got to another path, less construction of the characters real-life problems, just a standard romcom with a gamer background.

I'll wait to see if I give another chance to this anime or drop in this episode 3, for now, 5/10 anime.

Nice to see that the characters are at the university. A better setting than high school, they don't have to explain away the parents.

Apparently girls who are into games are slim and attractive. And guys too, or so I thought until we saw Yamada's shooter team. Order restored.

It's so obvious that guy is Rurihime, yet they dragged it out for so long that the episode ended. Why not end with the reveal in the last moment?

Uggggh this episode was way too short and it was mostly uneventful. Much angry because I need more of this!! The meet up was so awkward. I have a feeling the blonde guy is Rurihime since he was blushing. But the girl fits the aesthetic. It seems like the relationship between the bunny girl and Yamada is one-sided. I can't wait for next week!

I'm not going to lie, I liked the episode and I found the series entertaining, but I have to say that all this dynamic of combining the game and real life reminds me a lot of the anime Net-juu no Susume.

Regarding the episode; I'm surprised at the speed with which Kinoshita's feelings are already being discussed, I thought it would take longer ._.

Akane meets the legend hairstyle guy, and they go home together. It's funny because Akane still doesn't know his name.

There were so many romantic scenes in this episode. I like it better than the previous one, which was more of an introduction and didn't have any conflicts yet.

Akane wants to go to a cafe, but on the way she bumps into someone and ends up walking with a guy to the cafe. Akane has a cute face, so I'm sure it's no wonder many gamer guys are interested in her. Akane is also a gamer, so for guys, she is a goddess.

Wait, hold on sec.... Last scene???? Who's Rurihime, Is Rurihime a ojisan? did I miss something????


that last sentence was my exact thoughts lmao

Those sort of misunderstandings really do make me angry , Yamada has already told her he's a Virgin with a capital V and yet she thinks that he's had 100s of girlfriends of all ages before.
I get that women want an experienced guy who knows how to handle things and knows how to do it and what to do with her but she is not thinking logically here that a gamer can actually have girlfriends this was just silly to me. Everybody knows gamers are virgins unless it's a woman twerking on twitch

I agree. His mind clicked when she mentioned that junk in the storage part. I'm assuming she's Eita's (blond dude's)  little sister since they both have the same last name according to MAL's character names. So I guess the real question is what's Yamada's relationship to Eita and Runa since he clearly started the guild with them?

I suspected that Ruri wasn't actually a girl irl in the second episode and it was basically confirmed when Ruri and Yamada were discussing in-game about how they created the guild together in the beginning of this episode. So I guess the blond glasses dude is Ruri. I like how passionate he is about the game, but I hope this won't turn into a love triangle. Those are the worst...it'd be lowkey funny if Ruri turned out to be the old man instead though. And please don't have that loli girl be Yamada's little sister or something like that, that would be a next level typical shoujo cliché.
Feel kinda bad for the guy who was into Akane, but then again he was way too fake in pretending to know what she was talking about so can't say he didn't deserve being ignored. Didn't think Akane would already get so jealous about Yamada potentially having a girlfriend, and her jumping to conclusions so quickly was annoying. Typical romance misunderstandings 101. Otherwise, pretty enjoyable episode. I liked the post-credit scene and the last second, in particularly, was funny.

I am sure that Eita guy is Rurihime, dunno who the lolita girl is. You can tell that they all know each other, well maybe old-man is also kind new or he didn't just know Yamada. But that trio know each other. Also i think that Eita guessed who Akane was when he saw the phone, maybe because of the directions he sent her and knowing that others knew where the place was or smth, or just knew the others. So it's not hard to tell that he just met Akane, the only member heading to their meeting place at the same time, too much to be a coinsidence.

The different types of people displayed in anime are truly built different and exaggerated from their real world counterparts. I also think it's pretty unrealistic as I myself is sort of a gamer and know people who play a lot and I neither have meet anyone who play games and look like that.

I also love your Konata gif

Great episode as always! Rurihime being jealous and acting distant towards Akanecchi was to be expected considering her and Yamada were the original guild members. Hopefully we see more of Rurihime in the next episode because I’m curious to learn more about her!

ok the episode cut at the end was great lmao.

pretty ruthless of them to end on such a cliffhanger tho. i don't know what to think if the other guy turns out to be ruri💀💀💀 feels bad for akane. it's never gonna be the same.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

The weakest episode out of 3, but still fine. 4/5

Didn’t really understand ruri at the end. I mean, it’s probably plain jealousy or smth but it seemed like it smth else. Would be funny if ruri thought Akane is a man and she planned to have a sort of harem party, but I guess she knew she is a girl, so it’s not the case.

deym, the 1st two episodes didn't give me that vibes and somehow only gave me a straightup 'romance' plot like a rom-com should be (Akane is also no longer within the shoujo age range after all). I might just really have to take on the manga to get another feel of this story then.

So far one of my favorite shows of the season. It's very wholesome, and I really like Akane. Not sure about Ruri-chan. Going on a one-sided rant the first time you meet someone isn't very charming. But he seems to mean no harm.

Also yikes, the group date guy XD; Feels like every time I've been on Tinder and someone tries to connect by PRETENDING they know about my favorite shows. Painfully awkward. Glad Akane didn't invest herself much in him either, hopefully he got the hint and won't be around anymore.

I do wonder what the relationship is between Yamada and gothic lolita girl. Her last name on MAL suggests she could be Ruri's sister/relative, but I'm curious if she's involved in the game as well. Yamada doesn't seem very interested in her, at any rate.
