| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow, the first half of this episode was emotional. The mix of the game character dialogues and Haruo reflecting on the time he spent with Oono was really well done imo. I bet a lot is also going through Oono's mind right now. Only 3 episodes left but they still got some unsolved problems. This season has been a rollercoaster of emotions imo. |
 |
| The end of the episode was really sad to be honest. I hope Haruo will win and confess to Oono. |
 |
| Gonna have to root for Haruto to win this tourney they can't just fall out like that :/ |
 |
| I felt warm inside while watching this episode, I was smiling like crazy until that big reveal. Big ups to Haruo for finally making his feelings known, I'm so so so proud of him. I wonder if Akira will really go or stand up to her parents like her sister did, which I wish she would? Love conquers all, as they say in a cliché manner, and hope in this situation it does. I wouldn't want her to meet him after some timeskip, then fall in love, I want it to be now. One of my favorite series this season, despite this animation design. I'm liking the direction the story is taking, and looking forward to the challenge. Go my lovely couple, and make me proud! |

| Damn that end part really hit hard ;-; |
 |
| this ep was so packed, can't wait to see how the last few eps will resolve |
| This episode really hit me hard, the entire thing was so full of emotions. Everything is totally uncertain now and I hope Haruo wins this tournament and confess. It was sad to watch them apart from each other when Akira left Japan way back in the begining of the series. She really cried a lot back then. Dun want to see that happen again, if that happens again this time they may never meet each other again. |

| Awesome, this was one emotional rollercoaster of an episode! Amazing how they handled Haruo’s realisation here and the usual assist from the game characters were amusing! Fiery of rivalry to blossoming love, how adorable! Makoto-ojousama and Haruo’s mother reactions are always gold and it’s always nice to see more of the two! Haruo’s got some really caring friends too, loved those scenes! “Love. Love. Love. Lo-ve?” xD. Yikes, just this month to go. I felt really bad for Makoto for blaming herself over Oono’s misfortunes as a result of her negligence. Please, let their happiness be between the two. Ffs, even the teacher let her go. Anyways, I can’t wait to see how this battle goes! I really hope Oono is not thinking of cutting ties with him if she wins. Curious as to why she entered Kohaku’s place too, looks like we’re heading into the climax very soon! |

| Welp...Haruo isn't up to snuff recently with his losing streak...wholly due to the relationship strain between Hidaka and Oono, while both girls vying for his attention, his focus albeit shifted somewhere else out of their comfort zone. Going to his best friend Miyao's place to confront his feelings (to which he has been figuring out on the sidelines since Season 1) was his solace, to then back home which he FINALLY confesses. But it isn't just love, but game rivalry from the very beginning. Back to the very same competition they competed in together in Season 1, after so long. I'd think the short training "arc" was quite unique, to rile the match between both characters towards their meetup once again for time. But Moemi-sensei, no matter how much she objects this, she gave in, but that WASN'T ENOUGH, at parents' whim to move her out of Japan to LA. Quite the solemn episode indeed with Haruo trying to find his significance into both his gamer habits and Oono's life. How will he fare this out...it's a Final Fight with Haruo's confession vs. Oono's moving-out. The final battle that could decide the fates of both Haruo and Akira...can't wait to see it! |
 |
| Damn, great episode, it was really full of emotions! Finally Haruo realized and acepted his own feelings for Oono, and it was really cool how everyone is supporting Haruo, also Mikoto and Haruo's mother reaction are always epic! Seems they are going to settle their rivality in that tournment, hope Haruo wins for confess his feeling, i wonder why Oono when to Hidaka store! Damn, that end was really intense, it was really painfull seeing Mikoto in that state, cause she encouraged Haruo's next step in relation to his feeling, and that bomb was revealed at the end, Oono's want to move Oono to LA! That revelation really let me shocked, wasn't expecting! Their encounter in station was so damn cute, its wonderfull to see their smiles when they are together! Lets take this week to prepare to handle a great amount of feels, i am affraid, honestly! |
 |
| I love the supporting cast in this series so much, but man... I had a bad feeling she'd be moving again. It's also pretty feels bad for Hidaka. Is Haruo ever going to get the chance to finally let her off? Only 3 episodes left so I feel like something is getting cut. I can't imagine Akira just winning and leaving either. I feel we either get a happy ending where Haruo wins and Akira speaks out against her parents. Maybe it'll be the first time she speaks or something. I guess I could see her leaving but we get a big timeskip and they meet up again. |
| So they are gonna repeat the same thing from the first season with Akira leaving again, huh?! Did she call Hidaka to compete too? It could be that at the end Hidaka wins the games and gets to spend some time with Haruo while Akira is away... Or Haruo will finally confess, and then Mikoto will step up to their parents to prevent Akira from leaving? Pretty good BGM this episode. Can anyone tell me which song was playing around the 11 - 13 minute mark? |

| Ahh the classic cliched romance anime ending. Confess and hold onto the promise with Oono with a timeskip reuinion. Or say goodbye for a long time and most likely end up with Hidaka. |
 |
| Now I don't want Haruo to loose :( Akira's parents should have a little of consideration for her feelings. It's too soon for her to leave Japan in such short notice. How will Haruo face Akira after knowing she'll leave him behind? His heart will be very broken ;-; |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| HOLY $H!T this is such a wonderful bittersweet drama show! 3 more episodes left! Looks like Hidaka has a chance this time... so if their long waited final showdown happens, then if Haruo wins he'll confess and if Akira wins she'll cut ties with Harou...how exemplar! 5/5! |
 |
| I know the manga ended. With that said, does anyone know if there's enough material for a third season or would three more episodes be enough to cover the rest? (Just don't give me spoilers!) |
| Aaaaaand Hidaka wins Realistically, I'd say their circumstances is hardly a problem, but knowing these characters, they all just doesn't have the guts to oppose her parents So just like that Hidaka wins, what a boring outcome even tho I'm rooting for Hidaka, not that I mind Akira winning but I guess this is still better than first girl winning just coz first girl |
 |
| In every damn romance anime something happens, our main couple can't have a nice relationship, why does it have to be this way? All in all, good episode, Haruo finally has a realisation about his feelings. I guess we're going to have an ending when Akira re appears after some years and they start over (like we saw in the ed). Quote of the day: akira, lets have sex! Funny how makoto end looks more real than a hidaka end (joking of course) |
    |
| I'm the only one thinking this show has gone downhill from the OAV onwards? The focus on romance (which is barely ok and already done better by a lot of shows/movies/etc) and comedy (makoto is probably one of the few good things from the oavs and this season) is dragging too much for what it actually is and want to represent. I think it's still a decent show, not as peculiar as before though. Hope last 3 eps prove me wrong |

| noooo, LA? whyyyyy? :( |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| Alright, my rage level toward Ms. Goda has gone from "absolutely hate her" to "I'd hatefuck her." Now Oono's parents are my true enemy. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Our gameaddict finally realised his feelings, about time Even though I already kind of expected that thing at the end it's still kind of sad |
 |
| Seems like Oono went to Hidaka to tell her to take care of him once she leaves. There's no other reason for Oono to go to Hidaka at that point but to prepare Haruo for what's eventually coming; which is departure. |

| Forget about Haru winning or losing, Akira needs speaks out against her parents or she's going to be in trouble. |
