So maybe a dumb question. But was Moon Ranger, Sailor Moon? I was a little confused at first as to the nature of that show. Putting that aside though this was hands down the Hifumi episode. And it was glorious. I didn't mind when Hifumi was nothing but jokes about how shy she was. But in the first four episodes of this new season they've shown so much progress with her. It's almost a little astounding from a dumb moe series.

She interacts more. She tries to smile more. She shows concern and affection more readily. Ko and then Rin acknowledging her progress felt very earned. I've also liked Yun's character development of late. Acknowledging her own weaknesses and using them to better herself moving forward. And help others like Aoba better themselves too. Also her and Hajime were really cute together this episode. When did this show get so strong in its character development? It's done more in the beginning of this season than the entire first. Can't wait to see more.

Season is a blast so far, even stronger than the first. I like how the character developments are progressing, it also seems everyone will be paired up lmao. Also, Hifumi gets her much deserved screen time.

I wish Nene became more involved with the group somehow, her moments are golden too.

Rin is so freaking gay, to bad she gay for the most dense thing in the office. And now Hifumi is running the character show... which I'm pretty sure happened a LONG time ago in the manga but whatever.

I'm really liking how this season is focusing more on the characters rather than the development process. We got a lot of Ko/Rin in the first season, so I'm glad they're branching out to the other pairs.

It's the cutest thing ever when Ko offers Aoba her hand and they're walking together in the ED.

Always better narration, which gives characterization to characters, making them grow mentally and professionally. Facial expressions are fun, even the slice of life is interesting every time.

Nice episode.
Hajime was very cute and funny, but Hifumi stole this episode's spotlight.
I also liked Rin's insecurities/jealousy and Umiko's anger (poor Hazuki-san lol).

Poor Hajime just wanted to get that ticket...best girl deserves all the tickets in the world. Stupid online ordering/bots that buy tickets and sell them at an inflated price on eBay...

I'm surprised that Hifumi was going after the ticket; I didn't know/remember she was into Moon Ranger.

Kou grabbing Hifumi's cheeks stirred up some crazy jealousy in Rin, continuing on from the meat and potatoes incident last episode. Love triangle!

Hifumi may be nervous about talking to Umiko, but I doubt Umiko would have a need to use her airsoft gun or flick her forehead. She's a good worker.

Aww, Hajime was so happy to see the Moon Ranger concert. She was acting like a little kid, haha. How cute is that! ^^

Poor Rin got jealous. This show would be so amazing if it were more yuri. I wanted Ko to share Rin's feelings. They would be a perfect couple. <3

Really vibing with Hifumi this episode.
Glad to see she's slowly getting more confident with herself and taking on that role.

I love how well they are handling Hifumi's personality, shes a real introvert. You can see so many introvert traits she has like being only talkative through DM, great at reading people, slowly opening up to people and being drained after talking too much.

Hifumi growing as a person is nice too see. Jealous Rin was fun too, and the new game concept was approved, so far so good, I guess.

Hifumi's in charge of the character team? That should prove... adventurous.
Bad idea to ditch work to goof off in the bathroom.

ditching work to try and buy tickets is a really stupid idea, well at least they all had fun at the Moon Ranger concert.

The prototype got approved too, should prove to be fun to see develop.

Hifumi also became Character Team Leader.

Wow a lot of stuff really did happen in this episode it seems, and now the stage is set for the rest of the season.

I've been on the fence about this show since it's been pretty much formulaic CGDCT stuff and lots of fan service up until now, which I don't remember the first season being like.
But this episode has me hopeful that we are back on track.
The first half was annoying idol garbage that seems to be a requirement of slice of life anime from the 2010s but the second half is more serious and focuses more on the internal relationships of the dev team, which is more what I remember the show being like rather than this school club tropes badly repurposed in a different environment and pantsu shots every 30 seconds nonsense that the first three episodes have been. Though I am kinda confused about why the character design team is in charge of getting the prototype finished, I'm ummm pretty sure that would be the programming department's job...

It seems like it's probably a combination of Sailor Moon and Precure to me.
Looking through different precure anime some of them even have the two girls and similar bunny sort of creatures in promo images like Moon Ranger does in this episode.
