Same. Her whole character is annoying in my opinion.

Total fanservice episode next week -.- Might skip it. I like the show, but not moe.

With the arrival of Nene I think all the ships have now sailed. Kou x Rin is the most obvious one, then we have Yun x Hajime, and now Umiko x Nene. You could ship Aoba with just about anyone, but poor Hifumi seems all alone so I'll go with Aoba x Hifumi.

Wait... was Sakura's voice always this high pitched? my god, like, seriously, her voice in the beginning, god dang. Anyway, felt like a whole lot of stuff happened this episode, and like it was longer than usual, but still very good. Plus this was one of my favorite parts of the manga, seeing it animated makes me very happy.

Nenechi and pudding.
It must be tough to test the same game over and over again and try to find bugs in them.

Umiko is such a great character. And Nene adds freshness to the show, she's got a playful personality that makes the workplace feel very lively.

Might be awkward sayin' this but every character design on this show is cute!
Nene-chi is a noisy but also shy girl and she's a great hard working game debugger (part-time job since she has 2 months vacation)
Nene centered episode and she was too worried about the pudding she ate LOLZ! at lease she got praised by Umiko!
4/5.

I feel unsettled, Nenecchi should have apologise Kou face to face after all.

Just because Rin and everyone understand doesnt mean it is OK.

The first male to appear in the series shows up in an omake in volume 5, and that omake also explains the lack of guys. We're gonna need a second season at least to get to that point, unfortunately.

Is that what debugging people do in gaming company ? it looks like a very easy job to me. i don't know much about it tho...maybe i'm wrong.

overall, it was a pretty cute and relaxing episode imo. Kinda unexpected to me that she actually will be working together with Aoba in the same company xD it's going to be more fun xD and...dat pudding accident tho...that was cute imo xD

looking foward to the next episode xD

Good episode!
They put Nenecchi as main characters on this episode.
Also we got more 'game progress' here
And 'pudding theft' scene was heart-warming,
which i always hope on 'slice of life' genre

Next episode is always welcome

I watched episode 8 again today. My latest impression is that I love when Kayano Ai is cast as a character such as Rin. She has the perfect voice for Rin. Come to think of it, she also plays Teko in Amanchu this season. Another perfect role for her.

Lol why did this episode have to spend almost half the time on a thief who stole a 100 yen pudding? Though I get that it's actually a pretty serious issue; stealing in a workplace is a really big deal.

This anime is my panacea, an episode I feel recharged from everyday life. As I saw again in Nenecchi during certain situations, LOL. Funny, perhaps less lively than usual, but great quality once again in drawings and animations. The component slice of life was great once again.

For once, it can happen, the character Nene does not appear in every episode so much as happened this time. We will make up the next time, although I hope that they do see a little more even the character of Hazuki and beyond. ;)

A very great episode indeed. Having Nene Sakura becoming a debugger for the game company was pretty interesting. I almost thought she wouldn't been able to do the job properly but she learned rather quickly due to her own efforts. I've never been a debugger before but it sounds like a lot of hard work and can be tedious to make sure to report any bugs in the game and submit them as soon as possible. She was the highlight of this episode and I think she'll do her very best in the company. Though she acts childish at times, it's really cute and funny with her personality.

The second half of the episode was really funny about the pudding mystery. I had a feeling Nene was going to be found out after she decided to eat without knowing who's snack it was earlier. That scene when Rin Toyama had covered for her which I realized that she probably already knew about it all along was really sweet of her to do that. I think Nene learned a valuable experience joining the game company with Aoba and everyone else. I'm really happy that she's there to stay.

I'm looking forward to watching the next episode! :)

What a fun episode that was, mostly at Nene's expense.

Rin is a very good person.

It would be great if all video game companies offered a job like that with no experience needed. I would definitely sign up.

That Nenecchi is a spy!

The poor girl had to deal with strict and intimidating Umiko as her boss. It's no wonder she was so scared! xD (She deserved it for being childish, though.)

Umiko's deadpan while saying she used to be a spy was brilliant.

Stealing Yagami's pudding was irresponsible, too, but she regretted doing so, so it's okay. Rin was such a good person in this episode! She noticed that Nene was the culprit, yet didn't want to confront her or be harsh to her. Looks like the people of Eagle Jump are only strict if someone is slacking or doesn't take their work seriously, but they aren't too severe otherwise. That's nice for a workplace.

That last scene in the elevator. At first I thought "omg Nene is soooo dead lol", but looks like her work was actually helpful. Umiko even complimented her, which isn't easy at all!

Very nice episode all in all.

So Nene did land a job at Eagle Jump. Well...even if her motivation for joining wasn't the best, at least she seems to be a good tester.

That pudding looked really good for being "convenience store pudding". When I think of pudding in the US I think of crappy Jell-O stuff.

I like this anime a lot but good lord Nene is so annoying.
Her looks, personality, and her fucking voice.
I was really happy that she had little to no screentime in the previous episodes, so this episode was painful for me.

Finally Nenecchi enters the big "scene" with actually joining the company, while I thought that she won't do too much, she clearly beat my expectations and showed she's pretty attentive to even minor details, it reminded me when I was on my internship not too long ago. Her voice is really annoying, though.
The pudding scene was pretty funny, but Nenecchi should have apologized directly to Kou.

Lol a whole episode with Nenecchi, though I agree her voice is a bit annoying the more you hear more of her. It's like she's trying to be childish when she's not. Why can't the voice actor be more natural like Aoba's voice?

I honestly find the first few episodes boring but it's getting more entertaining. Nenechi is so cute and acting like a kid hahaha. Umiko is scary still, but she acknowledge Nenechi's job. Well it sucks to store your food in refrigerator and being taken by other person but Rin and Nenechi seems to handle the situation properly

Nene was such a fun character in this episode. Especially at the start of the episode where she got excited that her tests were over, and that part where she met Ko, lol.

I can see why some people would find Nene to be annoying. But her voice isn't that high-pitched compared to characters with a similar role to her in other anime. Although to be fair, I rarely get annoyed by characters like her. So yeah, just saying I like their decision of picking a more tolerable voice for her.

I like Aoba's interactions with Nene, but her interactions with Umiko are also quite cute. Hope we get more in the next episodes.

Well I thought the episode was pretty fun with more game mechanics. (looks like the game focused one some fantasy themes with main heroine)
Wait, the game's protagonist is a girl?

neonie said:
Nenecchi is the best girl, in this show. So naturally, this is the best episode, so far.

Also, she seems far more competent, and knowledgeable, in regards to her job, than Aoba has ever seemed to come off. Those notes were badass. I wonder, if she'll get hired permanently.

I like how Umiko is still scary to anyone who doesn't know her true personality. xD.
Umiko's unintended natural jerk tone reminds me of Akira Kayama from Stellvia, who other characters thought was scary/rude until they got to know her.

And holy crap Nene is like that one series nerd who has the dedication to put in the work to do something even after it becomes tedious for them. She probably knows the game better than Aoba does.

Great episode as always, if Nenecchi knew how much Aoba care about Sophia-chan, she wouldn't report "Sophia-chan doesn't die" bug
I was wondering whether, given the idealistic tone of the story, they'd just end up programming in an alternate route where Sophia doesn't die.

Haha...Nenecchi actually makes Aoba seem mature and worldly by comparison!
The irony is that Nene tries so darned hard to not look like a kid.

Kind of weird that nobody even suspected Nenecchi during the whole pudding thing, as they were suspecting that she was a spy the day before, but whatever.
I've given up trying to evaluate what characters do in these sorts of shows based on my own own real-life sensibilities. I just presume that they operate in a different social setting. That, and...

Aoba childhood friend joining as debugger and getting into trouble was pretty funny. She could just have decided to spend her summer break slacking off, so I guess she is showing some maturity by going to work.
