New waifu alert! At least she’s the same age as our MC this time, so let’s make her the main waifu to keep it ethical.

But seriously though, they really need to fix the English-to-Japanese. Lily was talking fine with Aoi just before meeting the new waifu, then switched back to broken English. Was nice to see her try out her Engirsh as well xD

It’ll be interesting to see how Lily’s little rivalry with her goes here/

Lily got a (also cute) love rival. I'm loving this anime reactions and animation. They sure improve the manga.

And as a KonoSuba fan, it is fun to watch "Darkness" hitting all the targets.

To those who kept bothering us about Renji loving Lily… a new rival has appeared… Momoko!

Loved the episode, but why is Momoko speaking in Osaka-ben? I thought she was from Tokyo, guess not. I hope they expand on her backstory later, since I love Kansai characters. Either way, I loved that Momoko turned out to be Lily’s rival. Excited for their upcoming battles.

@Polvo_Aranha Yeah, I was pretty surprised by the changes/differences the anime has compared to the manga. Honestly I think the anime is gonna end up being better than the manga because of it.
I like to watch some anime, I like to talk about some anime, I dislike wars over some anime, but more than anything I love to live my life, anime is an enjoyable and entertaining addition onto my life but it's not my whole life.

Finally we got someone who’s the same age as renji and a proper love interest. Sorry Lily, but Momoko has you beat as a whack a mole player and in the chest department lmao

Renji’s little sister continues being the best part of this show. She’s such a good friend to Lily. I love the scene of them walking to school together and Lily’s casually having a little argument with her mom about being able to walk herself to school lol

"I'll show you how to half-ass it the right way."
No thanks, that is not gaming ethics in The Cruel Empire. Handicaps must be up front, clear, and discrete. Take a piece off the board, or in a video fight game, disallow one or more specific attacks or moves.

Rival.
13 year old jealousy is silly but amusing.

Renji has got rizz, just a small beit of kindness got each of Lily and Momoko smitten.

So Aoi-chan is cheering Lily on to pursue a college boy she does not recognize, but would be outraged if it was her brother. She will be flummoxed when she finds out.

Kendo mole slaughter.

Game center really is not a place for dating.

At this point everyone might already know Renji's hidden identity so I'm not sure why he still does that.

I am pretty sure Lily called Renji's name right in front of his sister, and her sister still doesn't know that's her brother all along? weird.

The whole "disguise" thing makes no sense. Maybe I missed a detail, but why does Lily know he's Renji while the dude's own sister doesn't? (Feel free to remind me if there was a scene I forgot about)

Man, it's been a while since I've laughed so hard at so many interactions. Watching Lily cutely embarrass herself and being unable to communicate properly with Momoko in her imaginary catfight was just hilarious. From the first time she wanted to pull the "check this shit out" and fail to then saying "Men" and "Bloody hell" over and over again while trying to hit a mole and missing every shot. It was a funny fail compilation and made me really like this episode besides the badly animated scene of her leaving her house.

Maybe because she likes him better that his sister does. She is certainly more motivate about him.

Momoko is adorable, too bad about Lily, but stop they have an equal chance, but considering that Renji is clearly gaining women's attention quickly, they might still have a rival.

I think I get how those janken games work looking at it. It is a timing game so it doesn't matter what you select just when you push the button. Am I right?

Lily not able to say Mochizuki seems fairly accurate for someone first hearing a name like that. Momoko is a cute.

Momoko has zero chance to win which is unfortunate
Humans only live for a hundred years, it is as unreal as a dream that ends in an instant. What is the point of a person living in this world? No more than just being on a journey, and witnessing interesting things. Although I do not want to die, I do not fear death. I am already on my right path, I have no regrets even if I die.

The dub dropped, and Momoko has such a delightful drawl. Def my best here now, even if she is a dog person. They do not have her English VA listed yet at MAL or IMDB, but I a fair certain it is Katelyn Barr.

Okay that Momoko girl is the same age as Renji so she would be the real main love interest even though I doubt that they'll change it for Lily, well anyway that was a cute episode and fun regarding the games, sure that rock-paper-scissors one isn't optimal lol but the Whac-A-Mole is better, Momoko sure has the skills thanks to kendo xD it's nice to see her being friends with Lily already.

Wow the story actually introduced a girl who's Renji's age. Didn't expect that. And she's already in love with him?! Bro is secretly collecting a harem without even realizing it. What kind of rizz does he have? At least it has variety. Momoko being a Kendo practitioner and all is pretty funny. It's like a switch being turned on because she's normally very shy.

It's cool that Lily can somewhat speak Japanese now. But the subs are so confusing now. Sometimes it translates Japanese other times it's just the pronunciation. It's so bizarre.

Not a bad episode. I guess it was only a matter of time before some form of rivalry was introduced. Should spice things up a bit.
