Ah, Moon Ranger. This event was a dream come true for the fans of that fictional show.



The gimmick with the bear outfit was priceless. I mean, that's almost crazy lul

Hifumi being distressed about her new position was funny.
Also Hajime trying so hard to get to the even was nice as well and she didn't get the tickets but was invited instead which was lucky for her.
Things are going along nicely with there new game which should be nice.

Hifumi was extra precious this episode and got a promotion! She deserves a long nap after this one.

This was a real fun episode per usual. Everyone got to shine this episode...except Nene. I got real excited real fast when I saw Nene and Hifumi together, too bad it was short.

Also for Funsies. My apologies for my poor editing skills

The girls had a fun time at the Moon Rider concert. Hifumi went all out. She's now the character team leader. I'm happy for her.

Kou, you dense motherfucker!

Great episode, we didn't get much Aoba but we got lots of Hifumin instead, I'm fine with that.

This sequel is amazing so far, we don't stop getting plot progress and character development, I love New Game.

Great episode, so much win in this episode!

The Moon Ranger parts were epic, I loved how Hajime was having so much fun like a kid and it was really nice to see Hifumi doing her best as well. All the Hajime x Yun was win!

Ko x Hifumi, A new challenger approaches! A might strong one at that, Rin better look out. XDD
I loved the chat conversations between Hifumi and Ko and also Rin, all that Rin jealously. So much win this episode, I can't even type it all.

Nice to see Hifumi becoming the leader of the character design team, now that the game's approved. Let's get this alpha started!

Hifumin's conflict resolution skills are SSS ranked XD
It's a shame she wasn't able to rest up after that. She really needed that nap Ahagon!!!

And boy could I tell you about the times I found my colleagues in the toilet stalls trying for concert tickets and the likes. That stuff is so real to me right now, hahaha.

Loved how their game is now coming along, would love to try and play it myself to be honest.

Hifumi was very adorable as usual. It's good to see her taking the next up the ladder by becoming the character design leader. I expect great things from her team now! =D

Hajime also made me laugh quite a lot too. Her desperation to bag herself a ticket to the Moon Rangers concert was amusing, as was her "Jelly" reaction to Hifumi beating Hajime to getting a ticket for herself. ^_^

As for Kou, she's showing just how dense she can be when talking about the meat and potatoes from the previous episode while failing to take a hint about Rin's feelings about the subject at hand.

Great episode as always. =)

Also, Hifumi's right, Ko. You are dense. When are you gonna figure out Rin wants to do the sex on you?

I felt for Hajime at the start of the episode too. The struggle of buying tickets is too real -.-

Another good episode.

It was funny watching them all at the magical girl show.

Hifumi stood out a lot, nice to see how she has a lot more confidence now and can interact a lot better with people.

Rin got very jealous.

Umiko is a scary woman, lots of funny scenes with her.

Nice to see the project got good reviews.

Looking forward to watching the next episode.

Week 4 of the totally gay but not gay enough anime, season 2!

Let's do this.

Here, we have the two I'm not interested in, hooking up.


Clearly, she's thinking 'Huh...Hajime wouldn't be a bad parent...for our babies...'


Now here, we have a girlfriend embarrassed that her girlfriend found her in such an outfit. She wanted to keep it a secret, as its hazukashii!


Osananajimi sitting between the couple so they don't do inappropriate things at a kid's concert.


BEST GIRL FINALLY SHOWS UP! <3 All embarassed cuz no way she'd do a cute smile!


THE JEALOUS GIRLFRIEND HAS APPEARED! She's gna become yandere soon.


Best girl isn't suited for relationships. Poor Rin. You don't say this out loud when your girlfriend is in ear shot!


Last episode had more gay, but this one was solid too. Really enjoying this season so far. Hifumi actively speaking about Rin's feelings for Kou was great as well.

Episode focus on Hifumi -> 5/5

I'm really glad she is more confident about telling what she thinks without felling so anxious... or in case, nothing a nap can't fix!

By the way, watching her making a lot of different facial expressions this episode was really nice as well. In the end, she is my favourite character soo... I love everything she does haha

Convert into dirty fujoshi, now loading... LOL

That Yuri Hint, I can unseen it now. I really burst out laugh. After Nene x Umiko, now Hajime x Yun, feels awkward and really forced, but never mind, i don't really care.

When Hifumi get scene with Ko, I really wanted to see Rin watch it and feel being NTR'ed and author make it real, haha.

One more thing. HIFUMIN IS VERY PRECIOUS, save HER!! I make Hifumi my fave chara on MAL, now I don't regret it.

So this what fujoshi feels like, hmmmph. OK

Another great episode. A lot of focus on Hifumi, who is Best Girl for many fans (but not me, I'm on Team Aoba). Her social skills are getting better with each episode, plus she just got a promotion! I wonder if by the end of the season she will just be talking to people normally. But if she does that, won't she lose her charm point?

An attempt to ship Yun x Hajime. Not sure I can get too excited about this ship, but I enjoyed the concert subplot.

The scenes where Ko interacts with other girls (this time it's Hifumi) and then Rin goes ballistic, well those are priceless moments. And Hifumi actually acknowledged the Ko x Rin ship.

Not too much Aoba in this episode but I'm sure she will be doing her best in the next one. Nene made what amounted to a cameo appearance and I hope she will be back at Eagle Jump soon to keep Umiko smiling. 5/5

Hifumi getting a lot of love this season so far (I can't complain!) I love how in shows like this the events for idols/magical girl concerts always have such an overwhelmingly large number of females xD I know there are a lot of female fans of these things, but still interesting.

And shock! Hifumi literally confirms Rin's feelings for Kou... I wasn't sure anyone else really saw it that way until now. Maybe because Hifumi also has her eyes on a special someone... *cough* Aoba *cough*

Fun and an adorable episode, to sum it all up. While the first half of the episode was more filler-ish than canon, it was still fairly enjoyable to watch. However, the real sweetness begins from the second half which was more Hifumi related than others. Didn't expect her to be witty enough to figure out Rin's affection to Ko although it was literally bright as daylight for us viewers. Great to see her take on the leadership role despite her social anxiety and to see her make a steady progression in overcoming it.
Overall, I favor the second season more, speaking from thus far, than the first. Can't wait to see how it moves on from here with Hifumi leading the bunch.

Another fun episode!
magical girls for kids and then became popular to adults also...sounds like Madoka!?
lolz Rin became instantly jealous of Hifumi because of Yagami! And Hifumin felt the dark aura of Rin!
Nice one Hifumi, she will be promoted to be as the Character Team Leader!
LOLZ! Hazuki is scared of Umiko..even though Haduki's position is higher than them all!
So There's someone who is higher than Hazuki, Yamato the producer...highest-ranking person on the dev team!
4/5.

Fun episode. 1st half nice to see Yun and Hajime gets some screen time. The concert song was so catchy imo :3

I like Yun's tsundere side ^^

2nd half was even better with Hifumi and Yagami. Go Go Hifumi, her smiles are just so precious. Great to see her get focus this season.
That Hazuki is hilarious lol

nono the translation is perfectly fine. The でござる part is what made them change the english into really old sounding english as it's not something you really hear anywhere anymore. Perhaps nowhere outside of old movies and otakus/weebs trying to sound like samurai's (the samurai-girl in Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni. does it ALL. THE. TIME. and god is it annoying).

Idk, it just made me chuckle at the time because I didn't expect it. I'd say it's a bit overkill how much they changed it into old english but it's good.

no unity engine is getting credited in almost every (every?) episode, even in s1 because they're showing it running on their computers for the game creation. As in, the characters are using it in-universe.
In contrast, Photoshop is not credited because they changed the name to... PaintSoftware or something like that iirc? Which is pretty cool because both end up with the abbreviation PS and everyone knows what is meant when they hear the name.

I think so? Or maybe they just didn't bother asking about it? It's basicly the same thing with how anime always changes stuff like the name "McDonalds" to something else like "W-Donalds" or whatever else.

The same is the case with Maya. They changed one letter so they don't get in trouble, don't remember which one though.

Hifumi entered the dangerous waters between Kou and Rin. Hifumi's promotion interview was also quite touching (and well-deserved). No episode would be complete without Umiko disciplining Hazuki, though...

I also liked the prototype of the game, it definitely seemed like something I would like to try out.
