| Oooooo finally. Been waiting for one of them to figure it out. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| Well the romantic ball really started rolling this episode! Lilac likes Kanbe, but I'm thinking he's actually convenience store guy...and he seems to be interested in Moriko. We know for sure that Lilac is definitely a girl irl now at least. Honestly, it's obvious that Sakurai is the main love interest but I found myself shipping Moriko with all three guys she interacted with this episode. She goes so well with everyone!! I'm kind of edging towards Koiwai though because they play off of each other really well...Sakurai seems a little too shy. Like he and Moriko would never actually get anywhere kind of like an awkward aged-up Sawako x Kazehaya in Kimi ni Todoke. But hey, maybe Koiwai is just being a bro and trying to spur the guy into action! Kind of interested to see who Koiwai is if he's also got an online persona as well. Seriously though, this series gets better with each episode and I'm so bummed that it's only getting 10 eps and a special. |

PastFuturist said: It's a disappointment because I was hoping for something more than just a simple romance. Morioka is dealing with many issues: the dull stresses of middle age, emotional isolation, workplace issues, trust in technologically-mediated socializing, and financial fragility, to begin with. It looks like this series is going to explore none of these, and settle for having a handsome man solve everything. You kinda sound like you'll enjoy ReLIFE. |
| Hahaha that moment when Moriko and Kazuomi are stood in silence waiting for the machine to come back online. I am definitely that person who would start talking to the shop assistants about a game or movie! Gotta say that I also empathise with him not bringing up MMOs earlier to Moriko. Been playing games for years and only just found a gamer girl :') I'm not that up front about games so I'd probably be as embarrassed as they were! Lilac's scene was great. Kanbe just straight up says what he thinks with no mercy at all haha but at least we got a new character irl reveal. I think everyone has that one friend who buys loot boxes until they get what they want ^_^ Koiwai is a straight up player. Not sure I like his character much when he's checking out Morkia the way he does and when he's trying to steal her away from Yuuta :x To be fair though Moriko is getting a lot of attention irl all of a sudden. But that cliffhanger at the end! Yuuta is so close to figuring it out that I wonder if he'll get it and ask in the next episode... How is it over already!? |
| Yo if Koiwai is serious about dating Moriko that's a real dick move bro. Honestly that pissed me off. Then he's going to rub it in Sakura's face. A part of me was like "Okay Koiwai did this to help Sakura out." But if that was the case Lily wouldn't have been super depressed online. So I feel like I just answered my own issue in the first part. FUCK KOIWAI! Edit: Just watched the PV...Bro she cuts her fucking hair!!! |

| Just seen the PV Crazy Theory on next episode... The ''Triangle'' is actually: Lilac > Hayashi > Lily |
| But I just started watching this today. Now I have to wait for almost a week? :/ |

| OMG! I'm so excited at the edge of my seat! it's only a matter of a little more events until the two would realize the true identity of their characters on the MMORPG that they're playing! 5/5. |
 |
| THAT MABINOGI REFERENCE THO... The whole time I'd been watching this anime it reminds me of my own love story from Mabinogi... No wonder I love it so much!! (and now I'm engaged in real life to my partner from that game <3) |
 |
| Oh shit. The cat's out of the bag. |
 |
| This is pretty much Ragnarok Online: the animation for me. Not to mention the age bracket of 20-30, playing MMO, unemployed, somehow can relate. |
 |
| Apparently, this is now a love triangle xD Or a square? But i think that his friend only did that to make him act xD The best ending possible! Finally, he figured out!!! So happy omg xD Been loving this anime. |

luigi-dude said: FullyCharged said: OH YES PLEASE. Let's hope. PV talks about a triangle, but there's always the cashier for that. My thoughts exactly. Koiwai was sensitive enough to comment on what being rejected did to Yuuta at the restaurant, so he seems like he has his best interest at heart. He also stole Yuuta's phone just to get Moriko's number into it, that was Very deliberate. In the next episode preview you see Moriko behind Yuuta holding her phone to her chest, I think Koiwai definitely sets them up on their first date. As for Mr. Cashier, he's obviously been keeping an eye on Moriko at the store, and after Koiwai approached Moriko in the convenience store he may feel threatened and may make a move before it's "too late". I agree but I think Koiwai is gay |
| Sakurai's realization was tooo good! Now lets see how he attacks the situation! |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| I originally thought that Koiwai Homare was just a cool, if somewhat too irresponsible, friend to Sakurai Yuuta. Now I just think he's a dick. |
| I also have a quick question: When Morioko Morika is freaking out in the konbini while buying makeup and stuff, there's one little clip showing her current outfit in a not-so-positive light, and below each item's description is an "LV" score. I tried to figure this one out but Google didn't help. Does anyone know what this refers to? Thanks in advance! |

Thanks in advance! 1) You commented on episode 4's thread with a scene from episode 5 2) It's just a "parody" of the level system of a MMO, her clothes are rated with levels |

Totally my bad and I sincerely apologize. (2) I figured it was an abbreviation for levels but I couldn't figure out how the thing worked (mainly because I thought they might assign negative scores to emphasize her insecurity (specifically compared to the "girl power" scene from Denki-gai no Honya-san). I am so sorry for making a mess of this thread, but thank you so much for your reply and clarification! |
| Koiwai did a brave move! And he is making his friend jealous...it's kinda clear that Lily knows now that Hayashi and Mori Mori are the same person! |
 |
| I've been enjoying this show a lot more than I thought I would. I feel like this would make a great live-action drama too. |
| I'm so entertained omg. Sakurai's realization was too good! |
| The show is starting to peak really, hope it's not my hype. Koiwai is just a classless guy with trying to flirt overtly with Morimori and actually saying classless things like his comment on her breasts, also extremely classless with knowing that Sakura-chan wants to chat with Moriko Another thing to mention, Morimori-chan looks so adorable with her ponytail. Maybe just my personal taste, but still. TsundeReaper said: luigi-dude said: My thoughts exactly.

I agree but I think Koiwai is gay Em, could be, I give you that because this really happened to me IRL, one of my besties is gay and utterly teases me out with a girl that has large breasts and keeps telling me that every single time we're all 3 together. |

| Whee, we are slowly getting introduced to more characters :D We see Lilac IRL and the convenience store guy as well. I hope that he becomes friends with Moriko :3 The gacha event was pretty cool, does Lilac like Kanbe?! :O I thought it was gonna hint she liked Moriko XD Then on Sakurai's side, his friend Koiwai is pretty funny lol meeting Moriko like that and getting her info. I thought this was gonna be a huge wingman setup where all 3 of them went for drinks together, but if it's just the two of them that might work as well, especially since Moriko and him used to talk a lot. Then of course at the end when Sakurai figures out who she is in the game ... this is getting good :D |
Paul said: What's even more amazing was seeing Mabinogi, the game I literally played while doing the above, in this anime. I mean in this day and age, a advertisement for Mabinogi, who'd expect that? ikr, There's a big event going on about the anime at Mabinogi. |
 |
| Ignoring the convenient coincidence aside. I've been enjoying the series so far but I hope there is no 'deep' love triangle on this one. |
 |
| This anime is so much better than what i intially though. it just keeps getting better. |
 |
| That loot boxes part is so funny. Those people spend so much for the prizes, they're so passionate. Lily-san is so rich to be able to keep buying the game credits until she gets what she wants, but I'm still wondering how on earth do Hayashi get all the money to buy the credits, I mean she (Morioka) doesn't work. Sakurai's friend seems like wanting to make Sakurai jealous by trying to take Morioka on a date. Damn, how he force Morioka to write her contacts info in his phone is so clever, she couldn't even able to refuse. Poor Morioka. And I'm right, Lily is really Sakurai, and now Hayashi brings up his/her gender-swapped real life experience to Lily. It's about time Sakurai realize that Hayashi is actually Morioka. I have a feeling that the convenience store guy is Kanbe and the blond haired girl is Lilac, while the owner of the Pota guy (I'm sorry I forget his name) is actually married to the owner of the turquoise-haired guy. |
 |
| oooohhhhhh... Sakurai seems to have found out that Mori is Hayashi... The plot thickens. It was bound to happen and am glad it is. But thinking through it, the confrontation may happen in 3 or more episodes. |
| I really hope Sakurai's friend isn't going to actually hit on Mori. He doesn't seem the type who would betray a friend like that. Also, that last scene was glorious :'D |
 |
| This episode made me laugh so much and then the ending, oh the ending, my heart is hurting so bad i can't take it x.x i'm too freaking sensitive poor Sakurai is saaad </3 |

| Oh boy what an episode and what a great reveal at the ending that the viewer were pretty certain about already, but it's nice they don't hold it off for later in the series! All in all a pretty fun episode, let's see what's next! |
 |
| Oh my. Only took four episodes for such an epiphany. I wonder how it will unfold from here. |
 |
| Wow @ the loot boxes in this game, giving out normal health potions? Seriously?? |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Way to be discrete Morioka LOL But finally for the gender reveal, I am a little anxious to how the guy is feeling right now. & for some reason, I really like that cashier, I wonder where hes playing in part of all this.  |
| Wow! The situation becomes interesting, nothing but a triangle, here I see a relationship to four and it does not end there. The narration fears a fairly tangled situation and I am happy that no attempt has been made to make a certain character pass by. Funny the episode as a whole. Did you think the protagonist was not well endowed? Oh well! |
 |
| Morioka's forming quite the Harem there |
 |
| Aw yis looks like Lily/Sakura is finally getting it and making the connections! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| It seems that Lily/Yuta will know who is Hayashi in real life. Koiwai is trying to flirt with Morimori.... |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Pls start dating xD Our gurl MoriMori is a lil dense tho ahhaha. Good luck, Yuta!!!!! >.<" |
| Loot boxes are evil, and his "friend" is a bit of an a-hole. lol. I was wondering which one would figure it out first ;) |
| Seems like she has another admirer now, though he's definitely not her type. Also they finally revealed what everyone knew already anyway. Next episode should be good, looks like she's styling up and going on a date. |
| i put this on-hold for a bit, glad to be back in it! i wasn't paying much attention the previous few episodes so i accidentally mixed up yuuta & the convenience store guy (even tho it's so obvious with their hair colour but i really didn't notice) i had so many questions until i realised my own mix-up lol the IRL character designs are pretty weak lilac-san is so kawaii & the girls looked so cute in their new fits  and the whole bit with the loot boxes, relatable! xD great episode, really enjoyed it! |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
