| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Welp, the social life experience continues. This is like the story of a life coach and its student. Plus, I did find the character chemistry between Tomozaki and Yuzu to be rather entertaining. I wonder how much Yuzu appreciates Tomozaki's presence. I love how they close they reference Super Smash Ultimate as even the training stage looks the same. One thing for sure is that Yuzu is a kind girl, one that seems to get along well with others including Tomozaki. Quite a busy day for Tomozaki though. I also hope we get to see more of Erika Konno this season as she displays a rather cool personality. |

| Tomozaki can't forgive anyone who makes a fool of his favorite game. I wondered if romantic comedy would start with Kikuchi or Izumi, but the youth drama started. Erika is kinda annoying. |
 |
| The whole teaching and training of Yuzu, it's very detailed and through, great explanations and teaching from Tomozaki, and Yuzu also didn't take it for granted and tried her best on the training and mastered it in such short time. The method using broken stopwatch is quite clever, I like it. Actually something can be mimicked irl. Glad to see how much Nakamura has grown mentally, a great character development, no longer blaming his character for his loses, and he actually going for a long training before actually re-challenged Tomozaki. Even tho he keeps losing he still tried his best there. He becoming a solid rival of the series.  That girl Erika is so annoying, degrading everything she sees as not cool. Keep using "Creepy" like a lil b. Should've appreciate Nakamura's determination and hard work. Well it made sense tho that it's revealed she only goes after him because he is the most popular. Glad to see Tomozaki and Yuzu put her in her place.  Really liked all the character developments in this single eps. Tomozaki, Yuzu, and Nakamura are all better than they were in all the previous eps. P.s. : Super Smash Bros is truly a God-tier game. Thanks Tomozaki for spitting facts. |
 |
| Almost every character is annoying. They managed to make me, someone who doesn't care about a character's personality as long as they're cute, get annoyed by a character who's really cute. Even though I didn't like the shouting scene at all, Tomozaki's VA's performance was great. KIMOI KIMOI KIMOI |
 |
| As if someone like Tomozaki would dare to talk like that to a bully. Ultimate otaku self insert "don't bash my favorite videogame you normie princess!". I wish they would do this more subtly. |

| their relationship is starting to develop. <3 and that dude can't really accept his loss that makes it more uncomfortable. Just don't shout man it's just a video game lol |
| Stage 2 of Tomozaki-kun's talk: Izumi, with the former teaching the latter about Smash Bros. in the otaku setting, I just can't literally for the life, watch and believe an adaptation of Nintendo's god-tier game on the small screen. It's easy to relate to Tomozaki-kun when he switches to full otaku mode, and being a NEET before Hinami changed his life around, 180 degrees. The amount of input from Tomozaki is slwoly starting to pay off. At long last, the fated battle between Nakamura and Tomozaki through Smash Bros., and it's already a one-sided thrashing of a battle from the start. For the battle between the both of them to expose the falsehood of Erika's rant against Nakamura, and Tomozaki standing for the loser in outburst, WOW did his VA nailed that 2-3 minute verbal complaint. Is Tomozaki totally aiming for Hinami now? The best episode by a long shot. |
 |
| Not letting yourself be slowed down by others. Tomozaki's mindset ain't that bad, he just should've directed that energy somewhere else where he could've met people similar to him. Playing Tackfam just seems like an excuse for escapism. Well anyway, he eventually met Hinami. Her being pushy apparently paid off. Great development for Tomozaki. He acknowledged that life is good after all if you put in the effort, had a moment there with Yuzu and an honest conversation with Fuka. Even asked out Hinami. Talk about leveling up. That outburst was a bit too much,but funny and that bitch Erika had it coming. Enjoyed this episode, even tho it feels like the story is moving fast. |

| Damn, I can't stand characters like Erika at ALL. Thank God Tomozaki stood up and defended his "God-tier game". Still don't like Nakamura as a character but maybe in the next episodes he'll be further fleshed out and turn out more likable. Maybe even become friends with Tomozaki? I'm not really sure. Last part with Hinami was cute though ngl. |
 I accept random friend requests! |
| That was a smooth way to ask Hinami in a date, looking forward to it. Also I dunno why but Tomozaki's speech felt kinda cringe to me but that bitch had it coming so it was fun to see her get roasted and Izumi landed the final blow. |
 |
| I dunno, but Tomozaki's speech was kinda cringe though it was understandable in that situation. I don't really Erika, she sounds like someone who tries to be alpha. I can't really stand b*tchy characters like her: She reminds me of Miyabi from GTO, but Erika is a lighter one than that b*tch. |
 |
| Not gonna lie, I cringe a lot while watching this anime. But surprisingly enough, I still like it. Seems more a bit more real than the usual awkward character suddenly turning into a chad and it is actually fun to watch. Him going off on that blonde girl while using cringe words but actually having a point was good to watch tho. I guess he is getting some character development. |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| This is really good. I'm actually rooting for everyone involved. Invested. Thought for sure the show was on a glide path to a reality check for Hinami that her priorities in life aren't all they cracked up to be, but this episode kind of put that on the back burner. |
| Away from the things of man, my love, away from the things of man. |
| its nice that our boy snapped like that but...it got kinda cringe lol |
| Tomozaki finally started to open up more and more which is a good thing for his goal as well. Kikuchi is a cute girl. Maybe he'll ask her on a date in the next episode. |
 |
| This ep was much better then last ep. I think this anime just keep get better |

| Great episode and I loved the part with Tomozaki teaching Yuzu a lot, I think she might be my favorite along with Hinami for now. Everyday Tomozaki ranking up his Harem Protagonist skill. xD I really liked it when Tomozaki stood up for Nakamura and the game, I didn't like Erika either, way too much haughty attitude. Nakamura is shaping up to be a decent guy too, stopped making excuses and just kept trying. |
 |
| hmmmmm...well it was okay for me... at least our gloomy MC snapped and made a huge RANT against that bitch. a +1 thumbs-up for me...at least... 4/5. |
 |
| Tomozaki defending the game was kinda cringy to watch but then again the girl going kimo~ every 2 seconds is even more annoying. |
 |
| Cute Hinami is best Hinami BTW. Her character design is on point.   |
| Away from the things of man, my love, away from the things of man. |
| Tomozaki's rant against that girl called Erika was cringe but at least he stood up for Nakamura. Hinami at the end there was cute. |
 |
| I’m so proud of my boy Tomozaki! Dude has come so far after only a few episodes and people had the nerve to write him off after 2 episodes lol. Heaven forbid a character have to actually grow and develop. Just the fact that he was able to stand up to Konno on behalf of Shuji proves that he’s grown leaps and bounds since we first met him. Then him asking Hinami out to the movies, taking initiative, etc. Great episode, gonna get the LN next week I guess. |
 |
| Tomozaki's speech was Ok. He repeated the same thing quite a few times. If someone was trash talking Tackfam before he got help from Hinami he'd probably mumble his comeback. Tomozaki's transforming. |
 |
| Izumi is seemed a kind girl as she expresses her true thoughts and try hard to give her better at Atafami game. Satou's voice acting is ok, if i look forward to tomozaki's characteristics. And also feel good when tomozaki make things with Kikuchi which he feels right. In the end, Tomozaki and Yuzu' short comedy scene is 🙂 |
  |
| Pretty interesting episode. The reason why groups of "popular" people are interesting to observe is because of people like Izumi and Hinami and their relationship dynamics with people on the top of the hierarchy, like Erika. I hope we will see more of this in the future and that "creepy" won't be the best she can do because that's too unrealistic. I find Nanami and Natsubayashi a very interesting addition to the bunch. How will Tomozaki blend in and will he even try? There might be more things Hinami can learn from Tomozaki than she thinks. Kikuchi is very cute and your standard silent and shy gamer/bookworm/otaku type girl. I'm glad Tomozaki chose to be honest with her and I hope that event will be a good foundation for the advancement of their relationship and that he will treat her with great care. |

| We got some Izumi x Tomozaki scenes at the start, and our MC of this game told the truth that he doesn't actually read the book that Fuka relates to him. Though the real highlight of this episode is Tomozaki playing with Nakamura. And damn our blond boy just gets defeated every damn time, he only managed to counter once and that's just it. That's for a #1 Tackdaam player. Another highlight is Tomozaki standing up for Nakamura, damn the voice acting is so good. Too bad the execution of that scene got nerfed when Izumi spoke, but she atleast defended our MC and the girls led by the hot Erika Konno left from the scene. Looks like there's the potential friendship right there. In the end, we get to see some moments with Aoi, aww her smile at the end refreshes my soul. |
 |
| Overly dramatic? Kind of, but dang do I love our boy going ham like that defending his favourite game. That’s so true though when people call smash bros dumb or shallow when it’s actually deep and has several layers of skill to learn and get through- also blonde dude I forget his name, is totally me losing against my little bro who keeps winning, and me always wanting another game LOL! Love how they even go through some real smash mechanics like the short hop, invincibility, and attack range, and blaming your character for losing lmao, which is petty because the game is so fine tuned that it’s just about 99% balanced my biggest complaint with this series until now was that mc-kun is too much of a baby. I take that back now because really it’s a pretty petty nitpick on my part as well as he is progressing fast into not being that way. Plus the way he spikes his opponents after a devastating combo is pretty SATISFYINF just like my little bro does to me :) |

Kiyotaka696 said: This ep was much better then last ep. I think this anime just keep get better Yes u right. I really like hinami smile. The next waifu maybe? |
 |
| I can't belive this anime still hasn't had a cease and desist from NINTENDO. XD |
 |
| Tomozaki's speech defending the game was very hard to watch. |
| It was a pretty good episode in my opinion. I surprisingly didn't cringe. Tomozaki helped Izumi yo get better at Tackfam and it was nice to see them get along. Tomozaki also telling Izumi can always change if she wants to. Erika was annoying AF, not understanding anything and dissing Nakamura long with the game. I was happy to see that Tomozaki opened his mouth and said something and also Izumi trying not to fit into the norm anymore like defending Erika. This is probably the longest thing I have written here ^^ |

 HOOOOLY FUUUUUUUUUUCK THE 2ND HAND CRINGE |
| School drama Just school drama video game thing, (I cringe at this episode SO HARD) I question myself why I’m still watching this anime, (not like I hate it that much I give it like a 6 so far) it’s just getting cringy, at least for this episode But I’ll see how this anime gonna end. |
Nina supporter for life💕 |
| well there is one problem in this anime, they try hard to let us feel that what tomozaki doing is cool but in fact, no one really think that the author could create a better conversation, you can't feel any depth inside the characters, for example, if you compare tomozaki with Hikigaya from Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru as both had the same problem with not being social in school, you will find tomozaki trash no depth, someone else controls him |
