| So, Moriko used to work at the same company as Sakurai? And yet they never cross each other's path before? Or probably they really don't mind each other since they're total strangers to each other. Lmfao. Now them two are finally partners in the game. Yay! :D Moriko is me when I'm fangirling; she's the perfect epitome of my fangirling moments. Haha. Don't worry, Moriko, I bet when I'm already in fourties, I'll still fangirl like a freaking teenager. Haha. Why am I having a feeling that that convenience store guy is one of their guild mates? Hehe. Or like he's falling for Moriko? Huehuehue. He's cute, though. Hihi. And Moriko was so beautiful before she became a NEET, heck she's still beautiful. :p Ugh. I hope Moriko and Sakurai will have a date soonest! I just want to see these two together most of the time. Loved this episode. <3 |

| The ending was so adorable. Really liking this anime so far. |
| Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's. Noragami is the best anime ever.  |
| That was absurdly adorable, I hope this anime keeps the level, I'm loving it so far. |
 |
| Easily my favourite episode so far. The scene when Lily ask Hayashi to be her partner was just too cute and fun. |
| This is turning out to be a better show than I first thought when I first saw the summary... Really hope they will continue to go in depth with the characters and their relationships both in life and in the game! Wonder if they will go and explore societal issues further such as about NEETS, or about the workplace society in Japan etc through Morioka and her reasons for choosing to be a NEET? I wonder why Sakurai is playing as a girl Lily for his game character...hope we'll find that soon enough. Just a thought, could it be that Sakurai and Morioka met before in that other game..? The convenience store guy looks like he could be the guild master or the character with long green hair.. And could Sakurai's co-worker Koiwai-san or something possibly also be someone in the guild, like maybe the guild master? |
 |
| great episode... a bit slow though but good i still can believe that Lily is main guy in real life, i mean how can he act so girly and stuff like that?! lol still wondering there's no romance tag... |

| Pre-neet Moriko was hot! Post-neet Moriko is cute. But what happened with her eyebrows lol I can't help but chuckle to see how different the portrayal of these rpg games are from the real life games lol |
 |
| This is so good! They are all closer to each other but don't have idea...Convenience store guy would say that he also plays, but there was a guy waiting too, he is the guild leader... Sakurai got curious about Moriko.And his co-worker worked with her in the past! |
 |
| That was so awesome. I'm just worried we will end up with a shitty ending. The sooner they find out about the true identities the better. I want to see irl dating eps. |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
Vysarine said: Did you just double standard that hard?I can totally see this all being triggered after Lily bought some gachapons, and got a matching M and F pair of outfits. As a female I can understand playing a guy character, but I can't quite understand yet why Sakura-"chan" plays a girl character. Loved seeing the term PUG used for Lily's backstory! |
 |
| what a lovely episode, i think the green haired guy is the leader, can't wait for more. |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| These two are adorable online. I'm honestly curious if it's still the same case if they were to meet in real life, lol. Decent episode. |
  |
| I really like how the show is balancing real-life and game life right now... so,e episode or more game some are more real! I’m so ready for them to meet up tho! |

| This is one of the cutest anime ever. I like how both main characters are pretty much confirmed bi/pan and I can't wait to see their relationship progress. It will be interesting to see what happens when the truth unfolds. Convenient store cashier is totally their guild leader. |
| Hooray! I got my wish! The last couple of episodes have had more real world interactions to flesh out the characters and their personalities. This is such a sweet anime and it's no wonder its getting so popular. |
O.O have you ever played a class based MMO? if someone plays support and is at least competent you can be sure people will almost stalk them(since you kinda need them to play and most people don't like to play support). Also forgot to mention it on my previous post but did noone notice the subtle change in the opening at the begining(when they show Moriko next to Hayashi)? |
| This show is just so adorable and pleasant. Loved every bit of this ep. The giddily rolling around on the bed with the body pillow was too real haha. |
| I want more episodes! Too cute. =) It's interesting that the co-worker knows Mori. |
 |
| I’m gunna assume glasses guy is lily, kinda obvious, but funny dilemma |
 |
| Very nice show. Reminds me of good old times when I played MMORPGs. I LOL'd when I saw Mabinogi here XD: I can somehow relate to Lily's situation. In Mabinogi I played as a female character and people thought that I was a girl in real life. Thanks to it I got a lot of help from them :). Especially when it came to gold and quests XD. |

| So glad I decided to give this show a chance! Just binge watched all the available eps and I seriously cannot wait for more. |

| Hayashi and Lily finally got together as partners on the MMORPG that they are playing. The heck!? is that a purchasable Pay-to-Play card!? I thought that online RPG games nowadays are called freemium? this means you could still go online even with just a network connection. And real money gets you instant items that are valuable...feels like they regress back the time. 4/5. |
 |
| Mori-chan was really attractive as an office lady, but I like her Hex Maniac look better I think. Now that they're partners, I'm anticipating when they realize what's going on even more. So were they friends in that old MMO? Kind of cheesy honestly. Still really enjoying this one. |

| I had no idea that there was a term for joining random parties. I use to do this often and also when I joined a small guild would also join with another small guild to increase our manpower to do special stuff that required it. That all changed when I joined an elite guild. This kinda don't make sense. The guild leader practically knows what gender Lily is from their talk so my guess is that Lily wants to keep that notion separate. Maybe that's the angle Lily is coming from while Moriko thinks the opposite in their newfound partnership. Seriously... the seiyuu Ueda is doing too good of a job as Lily. Still getting that doki doki feminine vibe from last episode. orz.

I'm kinda hoping he picked Lily for the same reason I did when I played a girl char and that was strictly for the eye candy and nothing else... and to put her in revealing armor but I doubt that's gonna happen. |

The convenience store guy seemed interested in the MMO card, wonder which character he is playing. why would he, he can asks for money (game money ofc) and items to those lonely virgin gamers. I've done it in an online game before in back in highschool, feels good to fool people lol |
| Can't wait for that day when they will start going out in real life and find that they played together. It seems that they probably know each other from the past. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| I'm gonna guess what is going to happen next. Just to see how much I'll get right, because I'm feeling like it's going to happen exactly what I'm thinking. - The two people that helped both Moriko and Yuta in a past MMO, with which they lost contact, they're of course no one else than themselves, aka they found each other again; - They chose opposite sex characters probably because their own particular trauma, we don't know a thing about Yuta, but about Moriko we can say it's probably why she left her work. I don't know the meaning of the flowers in the first episode, maybe she got confessed by a co-worker after being nearly harrassed by him? Or maybe they were just a goodbye gift from some colleague; - In the middle screen of every episode and on the cover of the anime, we can read the word "recommendation". And since Yuta made some research on Moriko and asked his co-worker why she stopped working, and said something about her being a very competent worker, I'm 100% sure it won't end there. Yuta will for sure find a way to get her a recommendation, and get her back to work. And they're probably end working together. And that will be the way they will start to hang out IRL, since the dinner invitation got turned down; - The guy in the convenience store is probably one of their guild; - Other characters of their guild will pop out eventually IRL too, 100% guaranteed; - Sooner or later either Yuta or Moriko will tell ingame to their partner something that will make them realize that Yuta = Lily / Moriko = Hayashi. A couple of cringy episodes will follow until the other will find out himself/herself or get told so by the other one. An important role in the story will be held by their lack of confidence in their sexuality that will result from the first part of the story. "Am I gay/lesbian for him/her in the game? But I'm attracted to an opposite sex person IRL" -> confusion This confusion will dissipate when they will realize each other's identities and sex. But...will this affect positively or negatively their personality? And more importantly, will they react both the same way (either one) or they will be even more divided from this? (my guess is that one of the two will firmly refuse the situation and retreat in his/her own shell, while the other one will have to find a way to help [and that will of course get settled ingame, on that "it's our secret" tree]) My final rating of this show will depend on how they will handle this. Assuming they will even get to this part. For now I'm at 8/10 rating. A good ending may raise it to 9, a meh one but complete maybe a 7. But if they cut out the story like crap, it'll become a 4 <.< |

"Hello." |
| Such a sweet episode. Wasn’t very exciting but I felt some of the back story was revelaved in this one and I sense we will find out more about Moriko in later episodes. It’s nice to know that Moriko was doing well before and didn’t become a NEET because of work issues. Pacing was a bit odd with Yuuta in the restaurant when they were having lunch but that was minor. Kinda felt disappointed by the email in the end but maybe things will pick up later :) The talk about experiences in MMOs hit home a little so it’s nice to see that it’s acknowledged in the show. But the scene between Lily and Hayashi was so adorable and Moriko’s reaction felt so natural! |
| Think I'm gonna drop this and file it under Characters not for me, which is unfortunate. |
| I like the IRL portions too, and man finally I know why Sakurai sounds so familiar :P His interactions with his friend over KBBQ were hilarious XD Moriko looked pretty good when she was working too huh? I think that cashier at the convenience store plays too, so I'm sure he will be introduced eventually. The latter half was pretty sweet, lol both charas has a crush on another chara of their same gender, but don't know that the real player is genderswapped LOL XD |
| This series has a very interesting overtones, as we see a girl who portrays a boy and develops feelings for another girl, and a boy who portrays a girl and develops feelings for another boy. |
 |
| Damn!! The MC is soooo relatable I feel bad for her.... and myself xD This show is so much fun. Just look at her being so happy about...not doing a thing regarding the situation with being asked out. She felt happy just with that and responded with a negative still. Stupid comfort zone! |

Our culture is so wrapped up in labels lol Like its different when you're attracted to someone for THEM and not their body parts, yknow? Looking at Sakurai, he probably is the naive and innocent type so he doesn't think his actions are necessarily romantic towards Hayashi. He probably just thinks of partner as a close friend in the game and not romantic. Also, Sakurai is obviously not "gay" since he likes Moriko lol |

| BUT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN. I'M SO DENSE I DON'T KNOW IF "PARTNER" MEANS THEY ARE GOING OUT IN-GAME ONLY OR SOMETHING. |
