| I really hope Konoha is more careful with the time trips. It seems she went back to 1996 rather than 1992 so times have changed again. Not going to lie, it's still taking me some time to get used to her personality but she has such a curious mind. I do hope Konoha learns a lesson and use her opportunties wisely. At least she isn't alone and has support. |

| This comment is moreso about the whole series than this specific episode, but I really want to talk about just how much I’m enjoying this series. I didn’t get the chance to watch the first two episodes until 2 days ago but I was IMMEDIATELY hooked. I was interested as soon as I learned it was by the same author as “The World God Only Knows” which is my favorite animanga series ever but I didn’t expect this series to have so many similar vibes. The character writing, the humor, the art style, the absolute passion for games as a medium, even Konaha being a nice hybrid between Keima and Elsie…I’m not kidding when I say it felt like the Ratatouille meme and it was genuinely the most fun I think I’ve had watching a new series in a while. I was smiling the entire time and was super happy when I saw the “reality is just a crappy game” reference and all the focus on cute girls/heroines in games. Konoha is already one of the most likable characters of the season to me also, I feel like she’s been a great mix of just a fun character while also having some really nice character moments (A game that doesn’t dare to dream isn’t a game at all!) so far and her energy has been one of the major things carrying this series so far. I’m also really loving the expressiveness this series gives her. Plot hasn’t picked up a ton yet but the character dynamics have been great and I’m super excited to see where the series goes from here. This episode was also another fun time! I’m hoping this series manages to pick up some more buzz since I haven’t seen many people talk about it before now, which is a shame because it may have surpassed Frieren as the series I’m enjoying the most so far this season. |
is the ED card of the episode. |
| This episode was revealing something very important and interesting. Konoha can use those old games for time-traveling to their publishing year, and those games will be erased from existence after she uses its power. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Konoha is back in 2023 at her usual lowly illustrator job, but she hopes to go back in time again, but how? One of her works at the old Alcohol Soft got published but it's already out of soale since it's a DOS game and made from a no-name game studio anyways. But Konoha is persistent to find a way back, though she still has one game from the granny that does the same to being her back in time...this time in 1996. But this time, she meets Mamoru being in an angry state while recovering with the others once again after being missing for 4 years. From DOS to Windows gaming, at least the times are now catching with her...except that her iPad failed to power up once again falling into a pool. The thing is, Mamoru's mentality is stuck in the past, and Konoha has to bring him back...how could Kaori say no? If the rumors of the future are held to be true, then Mamoru is in trouble. That said, while a shop is selling eroge, R-18 Bishoujo games like Kizuato and Welcome to Pia Carrot like hotcakes at the time, Konoha finds a girl who interests her, and Toya Yamada follows her into the shop being a shy girl who's unabashly loving Bishoujo games like Konoha. The grown-up Mamoru in 1996 is the same age as Konoha, and his love for old PCs like the PC-9801 are quite the fanatic. It's clear that he's salty about Konoha leaving and only to come back after 4 years, it feels like a whiplash. But to give Konoha a pop quiz about the ports on an old computer, it feels insulting to programmers like Mamoru who are reluctantly and mentally stuck in the past. Even the love for a computer piques Konoha of Mamory's interest, but tampering with history, that's the one thing that Mamoru won't stand for. What a jerk, but there're people like him all around... |
 |
| The screenwriter for this episode was also the writer of Kizuato which as mentioned in this episode was released on the same day as Pia Carrot in 1996 and got destroyed by it in sales. Nice Rance end card. |
| Really enjoying this show so far Konoha is such a sweetheart and I hope she can bring Mamoru back to the company |
| So Konoha can go back to the past using those games given by the grandma. I wonder if she has a time limit to how many days she can stay or is it just untill she finishes making a game. Also each time she goes back will time move on for a few years like this time or not. Mamoru sure grew up to be real passionate about pc to the point it's creepy. New girl seems interesting. Really enjoyed this episode too and I want more of everyone from the company. Hope she can stay there for a while this time. |
 |
| Damn didn't think about the game concept with her traveling back in time to when those games were created. Interesting aspect. I'm sure that girl in the beginning of the episode is playing a factor as well. |

| Mamoru got nerfed. In the manga, two sisters are looking for him, so no KIKILALA in this adaptation. :( But still, I really like this adaptation and how they handled the source material. |
| doing the same bit with her tablet not working so she can't proof her skill (and being a time traveler) wasn't even funny the first time. And an annonying cliche on top. Hope she meets that shy glasses girl again^^ |

@Wieczorny kikilala are in the ED, so the probability is there |

| Given how old they are finding Alcoholsoft again gonna be tough. Gosh that sure was one heck of a surprise for the swim team. A girl airdropping into their pool. Imagine being lost for four whole years though. I guess its pretty rare for girls back then to show an interest in Bishoujo games. But man the way that Mamoru see's computers though is a tad creepy. Trying to change is mind though is gonna take some work. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Ah, looks like I was right and she is indeed going through the years of the games she received. Which means we can figure out her next destinations as well. I guess her job will now be keeping Alcohol Soft alive until her own time by making the necessary changes in each leap, and eventually making her dream game there. |
 |
| So when I want to go back to 1996 I just have to play Resident Evil? Aight, bet. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| For those wondering that Windows version they where using is Windows 95 which was actually pretty decent for Windows at least it didn't have that much useless crap and it didn't need 20 gb to run unlike the current versions of Windows, if you value you Disk space go with Fedora or Archlinux you can even run pretty much all games on that now especially if you use Steam. Anyway Konoha needs to invest in a waterproof tablet next time since that swimming pool is most likely what killed it, and she actually had power this time. It also looks like storywise she seems to need to convince Mamoru for making that game if the current trend continues my guess is that she ends up working for that company instead of the black company she is currently working for. |
| Touya is so cute!! Her character design is immaculate. I hope we see more of her soon. |

| Once again I really liked the episode. This series really knows how to surprise you - never expected a 4 year skip in the third episode. Just got used to Kaori's cute cat hat.😸 I like how you can always learn something about old computers. We were one of the first to buy PCs in the 90s, and Windows 95 just brings back so many great memories for me.🖳 This means Konoha can travel back to the year in which the game was developed. I wonder what would happen if she next picked up a game, which was developed between 1992 and 1996. In addition her actions in the 90s could have an impact on the present that no one but her would notice, like in a Hououin-Kyouma way. I also wonder if she could possibly meet Mamorou, Kaori and Meiko again in 2023. They would be in their 40ties now. |

| sugita sneaking into another show as the afro dude lol, konoha can be annoying but i like the bishoujo game chick. '96 now huh. |
 |
| I simply cannot not believe this nonsense was made by the creator for KamiNomi, one of my top list anime... Ugh, dropped. Hard. |
| this series is so sweet , i’m loving it so far |
| I was thinking, what happens if Konoha gets ahold of the same games she loses or even other ones? Would leaping through time with them make them back to her time have this time traveling ability like the others? So she could go back without limit. Though i dont see it playing out that way. phantomfandom said: I've to accept the fact that this is not the kind of anime where the lead will abuse her time traveling as some kind of cheating ability. It's more of a "God has plan for her" kind of anime. Yes, she can time travel, but she's gotta follow strict rules, no future product, no future usable knowledge, etc. Well of course. She isnt interested in for fame just passion. So she isnt going to rip off future games she loves. I saw that coming and is more interesting than just watching her ripoff stuff. Though it is likely she would possibly accidentally introduce a trope or concept of some kind too soon. |
Aversa said: I wouldn't count on it. Whatever force sent her back the first time was seemingly content to let the freezing December weather and insufficient charge prevent her devices from turning on. Now it sees her charged battery and responds with water damage. x.xAnyway Konoha needs to invest in a waterproof tablet next time since that swimming pool is most likely what killed it, and she actually had power this time. imperosol said: Also, USB has replaced almost all of those ports, although I still need a usb-to-serial converter to do some of what I do. I'm also tempted to tell Mamoru that Windows has proliferated and any PC game has to run on it, but maybe Konoha's answer is better if it lets him keep doing what he's passionate about. I'm reminded of stories about close-to-the-hardware tricks employed to make Crash Bandicoot work as well as it did on the original Playstation hardware.100% sure the 2023 Mamoru uses either Arch or TempleOS, but nothing else. Maybe Konoha should have said him the painful truth that in the future 90% of users run Windows. Okay, let's take stock of what's changed on Konoha's shelf (my best guess at least). Episode 1:  From right to left: Hapymaher - REGRET END (2023/05/26, Purple software) Amairo*Islenauts (2013/07/26, Yuzusoft) Tenshi☆Souzou RE-BOOT! (2023/04/28, Yuzusoft) Riddle Joker (2018/03/30, Yuzusoft) Café Stella to Shinigami no Chou (2019/12/20, Yuzusoft) DRACU-RIOT! (2012/03/30, Yuzusoft) Senren * Banka (2016/07/29, Yuzusoft) Hamidashi Creative (2020/09/25, Madosoft) Hamidashi Creative Totsu (2022/11/25, Madosoft) Koihime Musou (2007/01/26, BaseSon) Hapymaher -Fragmentation Dream- (2014/02/28, Purple software) Hapymaher (2013/02/28, Purple software) Aoi Tori (2017/11/24, Purple software) Episode 3:  DRACU-RIOT! , Hamidashi Creative Totsu and Koihime Musou are missing, but strangely, another game has been added; an older one at that: Natural ~Mi mo Kokoro mo~ (1998/02/06, Fairytale) Also, some of the time-travelling games received from the game store: Doukyuusei (1992/12/17, elf) [consumed] Kakyuusei (1996/06/07, elf) Kizuato (1996/07/26, Leaf) [consumed] Comic Party (1999/05/28, Leaf) Kanon (1999/06/04, Key) Sengoku Rance (2006/12/15, Alice Soft) Removing the game store's label appears to trigger time travel. |

| some translators made a mistake translating the 9800 series to Win 98. but in anime they mention 9800 series. <wiki> The PC-9800 series, commonly shortened to PC-98 or 98, is a lineup of Japanese 16-bit and 32-bit personal computers manufactured by NEC from 1982 to 2000. |

@Enel-
Lol this sereis cannot be compared to twgok.it seems too unfocused.Does it want to be a time travel story,a dating sim exploration or a mamoru kun story?

| @genesic123 I'll let em cook to see where it goes and I think there's a lot of potential with the plot setup they've done, just depends on execution. Right now, biggest strength is the character stuff, especially Konoha. |
| Loved seeing the mc play detective to bring the guy back. This was pretty funny and sweet episode. With that 4 year time gap no wonder they are skeptical on hiring her. |
 |
| pretty much a let down episode. Nothing but stupid cliche's and saying all the wrong things |
 |
| 1996 now, eh? An important year in technology. It seems our guy Mamoru is not so friendly with Windows - the new brand -, and Konoha will have a hard time convincing him. It's understandable somehow, since this was an abrupt change for a boy like him so passionate. I hope she finds a way, since Alcohol Soft's production depends on it. Maybe she will even find her place in this indie company! |
 |
| Guessing the dog purposely led her to time leap onto a pool to ruin any technology she brings with. Also whats with the aquarium on top of Alcohol Soft at the beginning? |
| If only Mamoru knows how obsolete DOS is compared to Windows in the near future.. |
| Why doesn't she explain herself to anyone?? It's so annoying!!!!! So what happened to her body when she went back to the future? Did it just disappear and everyone forgot about that? 256kb?? Lmao that's hilarious. Am I the only one who finds Konoha obnoxious? I hate her voice so much |
 This never updates so that's cool |
| I like how they're adding another 4 years time travel so there is a little bit of upgrade regarding the technologies, now Mamoru became a real windows hater lmao |
 |
| this episode is really frustrating. it should be fairly simple to prove she's a time traveler. how did no one freak out at the site of her ipad? even if it didn't turn on, they have to have some questions, or open it up and look at it. also the whole "don't change time" think is only if you go back to deliberately do that. if you don't know how to return and don't know how long you're going to be there, then yeah you're going to have to live a life there. it's not like she mailed her ipad to apple/windows so they could radically change computing. |
 |
| After 4 years, of course, they'll have some heartaches because of Konoha leaving suddenly like that. Now, another adventure to create a game with a stubborn boy. (I somehow ship them for some reason) P.S. The girl who wants to buy a bishoujo earlier was quite a hottie... 😳 Even the guys buying the games are so embarrassed... 🤣 Even I, was creeped out, but it was still hilarious. 🥲  |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| The tablet she has could easily prove she's a time-traveler. It's ahead of anything an individual could buy at that time. |
