Seeing that cameo of Oreimo, oh man, I miss watching that show. I had so much laughs watching that anime.

Interesting backstory. They were both fated for each other from the start. I'm sure Sagiri will grow up as pretty as her mom. Masamune is such a lucky bastard! haha Anyway, I guess they are already aware that they were both corresponding with each other since 5 years ago?

I just realized that Masamune's dad resembles Kiritsugu Emiya of Fate fame.

Anyways, this episode had two interesting ideas: the long-distance relationship between two kids via a web novel publishing site, and the Masamune/Sagiri trip to Akihabara via tablet. Once again, this is a story that could only be created in the 2010s, when the onset of independent amateurs web novelists and artists coincided with the growth of modern internet usage, childhood access to technology, and the ability to create meta stories about these concepts.

I kind of wish Masamune and Sagiri weren't siblings as to fully explore a relationship not burdened by incest, but then again, Eromanga Sensei as a story doesn't seem to really care about incest as a taboo. Compared to Oreimo, where incest was a core issue up to the very end, Eromanga Sensei seems to not bring it up as much. Additionally, Masamune makes a point to turn down every girl that tries confessing to him, making his clear focus on Sagiri apparent.

On one hand, I'm impressed that despite the easy setup for a love polygon, the series instead maintains the focus between its main pair. On the other hand, I'm not sure if having the sibling relationship was really necessary if the show doesn't bring it up that much. At the moment, it feels included just for the taboo appeal and none of the social consequences. In other words, all the benefits with none of the controversies. Again, I'm not sure why Masamune and Sagiri needed to be siblings within the show's construct. This story would have made just as much sense if they were childhood friends who, upon contrived circumstances, were forced to become roommates.

Yup, Sagiri x Masamune is truly the way to go. What I'm surprised is Sagiri didn't mention any of these past events to Masamune

and looks like Masamune's dad reading Index NT, none shall escape Kamachi's hellhole

Yoo.... that was rather cute. ngl. But, I loved Izumi's father. He's a good father and Sagiri's mum is just like her. Also, the Oreimo crossover. LMAO.

J'ai pas aimé le fait que la fin s’arrête si brutalement comme ça. QUe aucun des personnages secondaire soit présent indique bien qu'ils ont due rushé la fin.

We see their character motivations and backstory

I see we have entered the imouto-verse.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

There's the rest of the cameo characters I was waiting for.

Sagiri takes after her mother in more than just appearance it seems ^^

Nice episode, we see a lot of the Past of those 2.

Liked the references in Dengeki VN, like To Aru and SAO.

The cameo had me rolling, it was like the four horseman of incest abruptly showed up out of nowhere. It was straight up burning-bush biblical type shit. They show up and any pretense of decency instantly vanishes as you are brutally dragged back to the reality of what you're watching. That last glance that Kyousuke shot back before they returned to their insidious domain was in fact a hex, cursing our MC to his now unavoidable doom. It's fucking OVER

Well, these two's dreams come true, I want her to tell him her secrets, it's too bad the anime ends and there are no secrets to tell. Sagiri in a bikini hmm I liked it.
