That was a nice way to end it, I thought.

Giving it a 9/10 cause I found this show delightful and relevant to my interests.

Such a cute show, this episode alot was a contest of bushing~~
The only real shortcoming I can point right is that the since the pace is so slow, 10 episodes are not enough, and I will be seeing that extra one, but I m sure I will be left wanting more. In such regards I hope mangaka gets better and gets to drawn more, and we get more of the manga also translated.

Both make a really cute couple and I can only thumbs up to Koiwai's support, he was such a great wingman for both.

Sweet, a bit cliche but everything was executed well enough to the point that it was never boring or a fad to watch.
Lets pray for a possible sequel and mangaka health to improve~~

Such a great show. Seeing the two main leads interact was a joy from start to finish and the way it ended with a date + hand-holding felt rather natural considering the awkwardness of the two leads. This is the exactly the type of romance I like to watch these days (so tired of the drama filled ones, or love triangles, etc).

I agree with the poster above, I wish it was longer!

I was uncertain whether to give it a 8 / 10 or 9 / 10 but in the end I picked 9 because it was so enjoyed and it was a very refreshing "traditional" romance.

Holding hands is well and all, but....HURRY UP AND GET MARRIED! JEEZ!

Ah, well that went by way too fast. I preferred the first half because it focused more on the MMO themes, but the second bit still went really well. I really enjoyed the themes of escapism and finding your true self through the roleplaying. I found Mori Mori's situation particularly relatable. Especially how easy it is to feel down when you're not succeeding in the conventional sense. That stark contrast between freedom found in a game world vs the shackles of the hand you're dealt in reality.

Still, the overall message is particularly cute. That each character they play as represents a side of them unseen by society. And that no matter which character - which identity - Sakurai & Mori Mori take on, they're still there for each other. Forever and always.

8/10

I picked this show up because of the director and it turned out to be great. Though it leaves a lot to be desired in the end.

Their relationship didn't get as far as I would've liked.

The side characters like Lilac and Kanbe had a bit of a relationship happening and then it never got anywhere.

It's a shame that the manga was cancelled because of the author's poor health so now this story will never be properly completed.
Nov 8, 2018 9:26 AM
Well... it's over. I have some issues with this show:

*I would have liked that both had acted more mature.

*The plot contrivances are a bit ridiculous. For example: 'I met you in another game'.

At least the characters are more enjoyable than Gamers! and I liked the romance. There are still many unanswered questions. 6/10 for the anime.

Mori-chan was talking to Yuta's dryer LMAO. She's so innocent <3

Yuta was helping himself to the view tho, naughty boi ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

9/10
Only bc I wish we got to see more of the side characters IRL like Lilac and Poko. 10 eps is a little short for that tho :P I wanted more of Mori and Kanbe interactions IRL :3 Overall, loveddddd this rom-com :D

For 28 and 30, you would think they're more experienced than this haha. Oh wells ^.^

That was a nice ending. Quite a subtle happy end, but still very good. Would've wished it had gotten any prize at the crunchyroll-awards, especially for the intro and outro songs. Loved them, but the cringeyroll awards are only for the highest bidders and this show didn't scream too loud...

But a rainbow without rain and who could even sleep with the light f a full moon in your eyes?? How cliché can you get?

Surprisingly enjoyed this simplistic yet entertaining anime. It's refreshing to watch an anime with a plot that flows well and characters developing at a decent pace. Also bonus points for lack of filler and cringe fanservice.

To the children that claim that the main characters don't 'act their age', well... you're in for one hell of a surprise when you guys grow up.

Sorry folks, the way I really enjoyed Welcome to the NHK fully and suffered a lot whilst watching Net-juu is the most unfathomable thing i ever feel in my weeaboo phase. I'm gonna try the manga of this anime someday if I ever feel masochistic. (or perhaps unironically enjoy it, who knows?)

Enjoyed this show a lot more than I actually expected. Well done and a solid 8/10 in terms of enjoyment. Kinda sad it ended with this - I would have loved to see those two on more dates and such, because I liked their clumsy and quite endearing chemistry. Well, very fun ride nontheless. I am glad, they didnt go for the triangle they kind of teased, because that would have tanked my enjoyment (personally I am not a big fan of NTR-ish stuff in romance).

Koiwai is a real bro, I hoped that he wouldn't turn out to be a rival. Morimori might be one of the cutest characters I've seen so far, I think every nerd wants a girlfriend like that. Sakurai is just the luckiest dude alive. Quite literally if you think about all the coincidences that brought them together.

A really cute anime, started with the MMO comedy route and then slowly dived more into a romance. I enjoyed both parts of it. 7/10

God this is my 5th re-watch of this series and its still SO GOOD!!!!! Barely any series like it. We need more romance anime about adults.

Dam I love that ending where their characters are watching them leave they turn around. It makes me think of all the characters Ive played as in many different games.

Morioka and Sakurai are SO ADORABLE!!!!!! So cute, I love them!

Love this series to death, its one of my top 3 favourite romance anime. I love innocent wholesome romances like this.

This is a very nice final episode. No concrete conclusion but still a sweet ending. It has its fair share of funny, intimate, and kawaii moments. Moriko and Sakurai awkwardly growing closer made it obvious that both of them are very shy, and their confessions always end up failures, but never badly.


I've posted a bunch of screenshots. Be careful opening the spoilers if you're not using wi-fi.

A wild Cubone appeared! Did anyone realize it?


Adorable Morimori talking to the drying machine. Because she was afraid of her undergarments being seen by Sakurai, she decided to do the drying herself.


Giving Morimori an oversized parka, the perverted Sakurai ended up staring at Moriko's body, which attracted her suspicion.


A failed confession, interrupted by Morimori's rumbling stomach.


Getting help from Morimori in the kitchen, Sakurai admired her beauty.


And the food they made looked so tasty.


An intimate moment, as Sakurai wiped Morimori's tears with his sweater sleeve. Also another confession chance, which was interrupted by the friendly drying machine.


Sakurai managed to build up courage to confess, only to be interrupted by noisy children, but he kept going by improvising and ended well.


Hayashi and Lily happily worked together with the guild members, much to Kanbe's confusion, since he knows that Hayashi is Moriko, but doesn't know that Lily is Sakurai.


Hayashi and Lily (or Moriko and Sakurai) having a sweet moment, looking at the same moon.


Koiwai supports Sakurai and Moriko's relationship. What a nice bro!


A symbolic moment of Hayashi and Lily. Having served their purpose of getting Moriko and Sakurai together, boths of them couples made their separate ways.
Also Morimori's funny "I'm going to take a step forward" moment, leading to her toppling over her high heels, due to her (apparently) not getting used to them, which Sakurai easily caught, and lead to an awkward holding hands situation. Embarassed, he tried to keep holding her hands, which was pretty bold. Being embarassed herself, she squeeze his hand back, making jolt of electricity crawled up his spine, embarassing him more.
This one has many pictures, so be careful.


Looking through the end credit movie, I realized that Koiwai's avatar is apparently based on this hot blonde named Lailah.


Overall, it's a beautiful series. So sad that there are only 10 episodes. Would love to see more of the characters in future possible shows.

omg the first 8mins reminded me so much of my ex & i we did the exact same things on our "first date" that was cute with her looking through his game account etc only it didn't end up so PG-13 lmao what was that are they adults or kids they are literally alone together on a rainy day & she even took a shower & they clearly have romantic interest just what is that it's not like it's the first time they met either why are they soooooo shy they are like....30.. even if you're an introvert i mean...............that's just whaaack i mean a few episodes of all that shy BS was fine but we're like at the end of it alr lmao it was overly awkward

the lily & hayashi reflection bit was so cute

anyway 10 episodes is way too short! :( what happened to the other characters & they showed their real life selves as well i want to know what happens to lilac & kanbe too :(

glad there's at least an OVA! i actually watched the OVA by accident before watching the first episode i saw the first part was yuuta helping her move into a new apartment i think. can't wait to watch it!







but i’ll probably remember over and over again

underrated gem tho pacing was quite fast and didn't really get closure on some things but doesn't affect the overall theme..it does what its intended to do very well 10/10
ps reading others' takes saying they aren't 'adult' or 'mature' enough is just so dumb, like did u even watch the whole thing? yuuta was adopted and friendless due to being lonely n bullied during childhood, moriko is shown as a single NEET woman in her 30s w/ low self esteem and an overthinker.They just happen to be able to openly share their vulnerabilities w/ each other without getting judgemental about it which makes them more mature and humane if anything

Well only a kiss and full confession would made this a 10/10, so I give it a 9/10 even though Ep 10 was pretty much an indirect confession but you know how these romcom anime are xD
Can't wait to watch the OVA/Ep11 :D

It's definitely adorable how pure and awkward they are, but I was hoping for a kiss or at least an embrace. Other than that it was a fine episode, and cute as absolute hell.

The ending where she resolved to move forward... while it was nice and a good lesson, it did absolutely nothing to resolve the initial problem - the issues that caused her to leave her job and become a NEET in the first place. Morimori hasn't worked through those issues yet and is most likely not ready to return to that toxic Japanese work setting yet. If she's not careful she could wind up in exactly the same situation again in the future. But I guess if Sakurai is there to listen and help her through it, that could be a big difference. Knowing that you're not alone can be a great comfort.

Surprisingly enjoyable. Unoriginal, but the elements were well put together, with a good opening music (I rarely enjoy those) and a great performance from Mamiko Noto - she did her usual cooing style, but Morika had a wide range of emotions which were well acted.

The plot contrivances were properly done. If you have convenient coincidences, go totally nuts with them to destroy any expectation of realism. It was obvious from the beginning that we shouldn't expect anything but silly twists and turns, which is why they weren't annoying. It's easier to look past them in a comedy than anything dramatic. The last couple of episodes were less enjoyable, since there was just a lot of blushing and hesitation to milk more tension out of a situation where the romance was already inevitable. Otherwise the length was good.

A nice way to spend a Sunday morning, although I might not remember the show 6 months from now.
