Koiwai really makes me think what I have done so far totally resemble what he does. Just make my "acquaintances" to know each other and then left. Let them do the rest... The communication and stuff.

One episode left, unfortunately it's not gonna have enough time to conclude their story properly. Something will have to end up in the air without conclusion.

It's a shame because this anime was really really good, especially in the last 3 episodes.

I was thinking about exactly that and... now I'm pretty much sure the MMO reunion won't happen in the next episode, it would be maybe way too much to fit in.
But... judging from how Blu-Rays are coming out (eps 9 and 10 are already), it's almost clear the reunion will happen in ep11 special incuded with the anime boxset next week. So it won't air on tv but would be available simultaneously with ep10.

So ep10 probably only concludes the relationship of Morioka and Sakurai (them getting together), with in-game agreement to get together as a cliffhanger, sort of. If there are no english subs on the BD, we'll have to wait till fansubs comes out.


I do think with that release schedule it may offer more of a conclusion, but if it doesn't then the show will lose a point. The reason it attracted me was because of its base plot, and I thought for sure we wouldn't have any triangle drama considering the 2 MCs on the cover. Unfortunately like 2 episodes out of 10 were wasted, and those could have gone to establishing a relationship earlier and maybe getting Kanbe and Lilac together. As it stands now everything is gonna be a tad rushed.

Don't get me wrong,the truth coming out and Mori showering at Sakurai's place were fucking great sugar, BUT, I am not just going to ignore the fact that Moriko has been a NEET and cutting into her savings all this time just for some feels.This isn't teenage drama, which is why I started watching, will Mori get a job at Sakurai's place to overcome her anxiety?

A simple "Let's continue to play the MMO together as we make more memories Mori-chan." ending will seriously Piss me off. I hope we get satisfaction, but either way it seems like focusing on the world will steal what little time we have left for the romance, and focusing too much on the romance just leaves a bare-bones conclusion to a story about a women who "supposedly" had corporate trauma based on her nightmare in episode 2. Maybe the special will focus on Mori's life before she quit, who knows.... but if that it the case then we'll get even less resolution.

They both are so shy omg xD Good that Koiwai is helping them xD And i thought that he was trying to take Morioka, forgive me Koiwai xD
Wel...that ending, i wasn't expecting it xD I really hope they end up together because after all that happened it's the only thing that's left.
Morioka changed so much since the first episodes.

Koiwai best bro. He was such a tease, we all thought he was going to be a jerk... but thank God he didn't.

I feel like this show could have used 2 more episodes, like a standard show with 12 episodes, to wrap things up better. I have a hunch that they might rush things in the final 10th episode, and that may not be so good.

I thought with the few episodes it would have a rushed pace. However, it actually is pretty well placed and I feel that the final episode will hopefully conclude one of my favorite anime of the season.

Good Koiwai, you know your place. I’m glad you didn’t make an unnecessary love triangle.

I really enjoyed seeing Koiwai helping his best friend to be paired with the girl of his dreams.

Are there any Romance Anime other than this where a best friend character helps her friend to get the person of her dreams, albeit with a females version of it ? ( A female friend of a female character working hard behind the scenes to pair her friend with the guy she likes )
I frown at recent installments of Persona and Trails of Cold Steel that introduce harem-like elements in the story.

We need more JRPGs like the past Lunar series, where there are multiple romantic pairings in the party other than for the protagonist and main heroine.

Waaah. The next one will be the last episode. Jesus. It's not enough. I need more. Lmaojk.

I find them bowing and apologizing profusely to each other so cute and funny. Haha. But yeah I felt the awkwardness--the typical awkwardness. Lol.

So nice of Koiwai-san setting up them two to have a date. Pffft. But it didn't go well because of the comment that convenience store lady made, though I think she didn't mean anything by that. She was just asking, but Moriko heard it in a bad way. Aww. She's still our same Moriko despite her having a short hair. Hehe.

Now, she's with Sakurai-san at his apartment. Holy shit. What's gonna happen next episode which is the final one? Ffs. Please don't be a trainwreck in the last episode.

Can i call this the best romance anime of season yet?

Hmm, I would say one of the best of this year. Not like the competition is big though.
- Tsuki ga Kirei
- Just Because
- Tsurezure Children (but it's rather a comedy than pure romance)
- SukaSuka
- Kuzu no Honkai
- Saekano
And that's fu*kin all if it comes to this year...
Maybe Koi to Uso, but they fucked up many things, but I discovered manga because of anime, so...


Eeeeeeh no way, there's too much plot convenience

I'd say

Just because > Net-juu > Tsuki ga Kirei

Well, still depends on how Just Because turns out after it's over

Romance was not the main theme in Shouwa Genroku 2, but it was amazingly handled in that. In fact, overall, I still think it has been THE Anime of the Year. I haven't seen Owarimonogatari S2 yet but the Monogatari series usually have some romance in them so I have that to look forward to. Saekano episode 8 was so beautiful that I think it made itself a contender for romance anime of the season but it happened to run in the same season as Tsuki ga Kirei.

Tsurezure Children and Just because are already in my ptw. I am also gonna watch Itsudatte Bokura I guess.

As I said, I would probably have skipped Net-juu no Susume. If I knew it was romance, I would have watched it from the start. BLEND-S is primarily a comedy but there's romance in it as well. The characters are so wacky it's a real fun anime to watch.

I think the biggest disappointments for me this year were Youkoso Jitsuryoku and Seiren. The first one is because every other person said it's gonna be like Oregairu but it turned out to be one of the crappiest anime of the year I have seen, and I am not saying because it didn't have romance. Seiren because I was hoping to see something like Amagami SS but I couldn't watch beyond episode 2. It was that bad.

Happens way too much, specialy " Comedy " you can't even trust it anymore lol my bet for not having romance is that they won't kiss but that marketing thing... I think mods aren't copy paste machines and have some kind of own will to change stuff, but oh well one more episode to go

Wahhhhhhhh! These two adults being so awkward together is unbearably adorable.

I love the scenes where Morioka and Sakurai shout out-loud exactly what they're thinking at the same time, it proves just how perfect they are together. Koiwai is a real wingman. Kazuomi can't even begin to comprehend anything right now

Stay strong Morioka, I've been there before, this can only end in good things happening ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The next episode might just do me in if they don't at least kiss lol

This episode had it's cute, funny and awkward moments... Seems like Morioka and Sakurai ended up a lot closer than they were before.

I was hating on Koiwai for a while, after he asked Morioka out but then he set them up in this episode and I was like, "Koiwai, you the real MVP."

Only one more episode huh? Makes me wonder how they'll end the anime.

Agree, Tsuki ga kirei was the ONLY reason i wrote «season» and not «year» you just cant beat Tsuki.
Tsurezure children was pretty awsome too, but it just lacked the punch that you get from cheering for 1 couple instead of multiple.

I personally have a hatred fueled admiration for SukaSuka, i just hated the ending, made me cry a for a week straight, thats the only time i would have been happy if they just forgot about the source material and just gave me a fucking wedding with some god damn kids and not THAT! It had great romance tho, and romance was t the only thing it had going for it either. The wirld was interesting and the other characters were pretty fun, and i loved Willem’s releationship with the kids

Havent seen Kuzu no Honkai, is it any good? I just personaly dislike animes about NOT getting your love returned and instead settles for somoene else, doesnt matter how good the story is i just cant get into it as much, idk why tho.

And of course Just because is pretty good too, although it is on the slow side.

Well here is for a 2018 jam packed with Tsuki ga kire level romance animes! Cheers!

Koiwai-san is the ULTIMATE WINGMAN! Love how he set them up like that when Sakurai's insecurities were driving a rift between them again.

Although it seems like both Sakurai AND Morioka have their own insecurities that have made it hard for them to be with anyone. We really saw that with Sakurai in the beginning and with Morioka at the convenience store.

If you meant the girl at the door IN THE ENDING (instead of opening, because I don't know what you mean otherwise so I am guessing you meant the ending), she is the Lilac in real world and she does appear multiple times in the anime. The first time she appears is at the start of episode 4.



Her real name is Nao (奈緒) and she is voiced by Yuuki Kana (優木かな) according to the credits at the end of episode 4.

And if my romance radar is alight, I am expecting her to hook up with real world Kanbe (Fujimoto) later on in the story (might not be covered in the anime since we have only one episode left).

Just noticed that she is not in the MAL Character database. I might go and add her.
