----------------------------------------
The student council president is awesome, she knows how to get a club fire up.

Ako still having a hard time differentiating between fiction and reality. No surprise there. I thought it was fun seeing Ako and Nishimura explore the fictional worlds, felt like a date :D



I smell some jealousy coming from Ako though.

Ako's yandere behaviour is showing more and more especially now a new girl appears.
And Ako doesn't like it.

Akane's reaction when Nanako entered the game room was funny hopefully we got more events like that.

"Good morning, Nishimura Rusian." LOL
So the episode "highlight" must be Akane's secret revealed or Rusian's date with Ako that end up with another jealousy for that... Different countries player?
Or so I thought, since Akane's friend didn't really said something about Akane's secret earlier. Could it be that her?

Nanako was in a hurry to get home eh? Hmmmmmmmmm....

Anyway Ako remains fucking amazing in every way. Even yandere mode. ESPECIALLY YANDERE MODE! And that diagram of her barrier? KAWAIIIII! Definitely in the running for best girl this season. She needs to be protected and cherished. Stop with the "new" girl and get on that already Rusian...in more ways than one! XD

Also, their in-game undersea date and semi-erotic inn visit were fucking fantastic too. AKO X RUSIAN 4 EVER! XD

So, this episode coincides with the beginning of Level(=book) 2 of the light novels. The first novel focused on introducing the main cast and the general scenario, so one could say that this is where the story actually begins to progress...

...or so you would think, but, instead, this episode introduces a new "real" character and a new "game" character――well, a few new game characters, but one of them is obviously more important than the others.


I liked the anime version of the date better than the novel version, because it feels more Ako: while most MMORPG players focus on grinding or farming or clearing quests, Ako enjoys the game in her own way. To her, how much gold or exp she can earn in an hour isn't as important as how much fun she can have in that same hour. And if she's having fun playing a game, why should it matter whether or not that's how the game is 'supposed' to be played?


The funniest scene in this episode, in my opinion, is the one with Nekohime. "Nekohime really became a hime." Hilarious.
If you didn't get the joke, it's a play on the word "hime":
  • Nekohime is written 猫姫――猫(neko) 姫(hime).
  • Hime means "princess. Well, it's really a word for an unwed woman of the ruling class and/or of Japanese shinto clergy, and, because it was originally written 日女 (sun's daughter), it can be used more broadly to refer to goddesses and to young noblewomen, but you get the point.
  • But this is a MMORPG, where "hime" can refer to a PC (player character) who is performing "hime play" (姫プレイ). "Hime play" is slang for when a player makes his/her a female PC look and act cute in order to get male players to help him/her with leveling and farming and the such. (●´艸`)
  • Ako's response "I don't need to become a hime because I'm satisfied with being Rusian's exclusive wife," is cute. For the record, "hime" is also slang for the only woman in a group full of men who assumes the position of an idol for all the men in her group.
  • But, ironically, what Ako does is essentially "hime play," although it's not intentional. Well, since the other two members of their guild are actually girls in real life, it doesn't actually count as "hime play," but that's how other players would see it. (●´艸`)

So, Nanako happened to come into the room and found out the name of the game they played and then some random beginner happened to bump into Rusian and Ako. Hmm.

Interesting last scene.
The ep felt like a drag in the middle though it was nice to see Ako and Nishimura on a sort of date.
That scene with Saitou and her former guild was funny, and the first scene with Ako not improving her reality grasp was great.

Pretty fun episode up until the introduction of Sette. I'm hoping this doesn't drag on for too long and that it doesn't lrad to too much stupid drama. Also, I'm about 90% certain that Sette is actually Nanako in disguise; after all, the outfit is very similar to the one blatantly worn by her character in the OP.

bro this is a flag. and you missed it.

Also, I will never stop asking: why did they make ako so ridiculously hot if she's supposed to be a loner loser gloomy girl? I know the answer, but every time it's like goddamn you're the hottest girl this season, like ridiculously comically hot

As usual, Ako was super adorable in this episode. Looks like she's got some competition now; that new girl is pretty fine in game and irl. Yandere mode, activate!

What I really don't understand is why is Rusian so damn reluctant to just go out with Ako IRL. For god's sake, he's an otaku and she's cute and totally into him, he's not going to get a better chance in a thousand years. It's kinda disappointing that he seems to be your typical Harem MC, so afraid of any romance and being close with girls.

A lot of people here saying the new girl in the game is Nanako, and she probably is, but then why couldn't she type?

I get that she probably hasn't played online games before, but that doesn't mean she shouldn't know how to use a keyboard.

Another great episode.

Love how detailed and accurate this is to mmo games. Nearly cracked up during the whole lockbox discussion.

And the other developments in episode with the new girl(well new in game) is hilarious and is bound to interesting. Maybe we will see more of yandere ako now?

This show strikes a nice balance between realistic and scary storytelling and downright hilarious comedy.

Because as Ako is now that would make her situation WORSE?
And she already is on the level as to assault other people in real life because of a game. It makes sense to hold off relationship progression till your waifu is actually sane.

I'm really starting to like the anime. The comedy is consistent and the series doesn't try too hard to establish a serious story, which prevents that it ends in a mess. Furthermore, the MMO aspect has been explored in a positive way so far. Let's see how a potential love rival could change the overall relationships and the story. Brace yourself for full yandere Ako.

overall it was a great episode imo. well it was predictable but it was enjoyable and fun to watch. the president know how to make things more interesting huh ? that's why we need a premium player in a group xD

"Sette" is too obvious. i know who is she xD can't wait to see her in the next episode then. but i don't really know if she was pretending to be a newbie or really a newbie. well, looking fowrad for the next episode :D

I know its terrible, but when I saw this moment I couldn't help but think...

That it wasn't a mmorpg anime without tentacles.

Regardless, still another decent episode that I enjoyed. Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta? is definitely one my favourites so far this season.

I agree with you, the show would be boring without conflict so I have no problem with the new girl (Sette). Not sure if it will be genuine competition though. I got a feeling that it's more a conflict to push Ako and Russians relationship further. This arc will probably be only one or two more episodes.

Hmm...interesting that she might have a crush on Rusian in the real world.

The introduction of "sette" really raised the tension for the next episode or so which was needed imo.

Great ecchi scenes and good humor. And it's also interesting how I share similar viewpoints with Ako about life in general (except that I don't play net games).
