THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Yup, 11 episodes now and Oono hasn't spoken a word yet. This episode didn't change her role much either.

Koharu's interaction with Oono still feels awkward to me and I bet she is even somewhat intimidated by her. Haruo is filled with deep thoughts and I actually find it kinda refreshing to see the episode focus on him without the others being with him.

Not sure how they'll do the finale but I do expect more video gaming. Oono is back at the arcade too.

It was a very nice episode, specially the final part, she really loves him, for a very shy girl as Onoo to simply follow Haruo when he calls her. I really want to see how the anime ends but I'm afraid they'd try to do an open end or try to summarize all the chapters left in the manga in a single episode, similar to what happened to ReLIFE: Kanketsu-hen, where they summarized around 100 chapters in 4 episodes.

Poor Oono... the good thing is that Haruo saved her like usual :D She really cares for him. Her feelings are so obvious! What a cutie ^w^

I can't believe the next episode will be the last one :(

Their understanding gets better and better and at this point Oono speaking wouldn't change anything. In addition she looked super cute in that hoodie and i could totally imagine these two running away together.
That stupid private teacher basically gave her zero reason to stay at her house. She painted a picture of no freedom at all, high school to get into a good university just to get married to a choosen guy after that is so incredible on rails that she has no reason to stay if she can't change a thing.
If you give someone no out they will attack (in this case the only option left for her is either hurting herself or just running away).

the entire first half of that episode was unnecessary and then they come and give you a huge dopamine hit in the last 10 seconds and it ends and you gotta wait another week for the payoff.

Hard to top imo for this anime. Let's see how that's gonna end. Also did the ending change? It's a bit more like pop-music this time.

PS: Now what's "NTR'd" supposed to mean anyways? Those damn modern anime need an extra dictionary with them if normies want to know what's going on...

Is this really the 2nd last episode? Great Episode, nevertheless!

Lol, that prolonged(‘nagai’) loading sure was hilarious! Patience is virtue, Harou-kun xD. Finally, we got to see a lot more of Oono(+Oono tears) confirming the ship now. Vigorous studies and a marraige already decided from birth, it sure is a tough life for her. No wonder she ran away from home, but it was pleasing to see Haruo find her in the end after all the way searching.

I’m really looking forward to seeing what next episode’s finale has in store for us. I really hope this is a 2-cour show.

No 1v1 between Hidaka and Oono? Darn it.

That 1 minute loading screen made me laugh.

With the ending next week(maybe?) I'm going to miss this show once it's over... onto the source material I guess. My aots for this season.

Great episode.

Ah, our good old friend loading screen. Gotta admit that whole ordeal made me laugh. xD

Feel really bad for Oono, her situation at home is so sad. That instructor of hers is too stuck up. The part where she cried in bed really got me. :(

Haruo making the plays, love how he find Oono and finally played against her. The entire last scene really made the episode for me.

What if J.C.Staff pulls a surprise and gives us more episodes? the manga is almost ending anyways and i haven't seen that 12 ep confirmation...

Funny episode, i feel bad for Oono's home situation, but in the end Haruo with a little help finds her; that last scene when the ending music started got me...

I cried.

I can see where one can find the game loading bit funny, but they drug it out so long, it killed the momentum of the moment. Also disappointed that they didn't show the final score between Hidaka and Oono (manga showed Oono tripling Hidaka's score).

Evil Gouda was awesomely done by Shizuka Itou! Sure, Oono doesn't speak, but I think they did a good job of displaying her feelings. Last scene was awesome. Can't wait for the next episode, and I hope J.C. Staff doesn't stop there!

Man, when Ono cries, I cry... All but for that bittersweet reunion, in the end. The fact that I don’t see Haruo and Ono on best couples Summer 2018 listings is borderline criminal. I love them, and I love this show!

"From punching and kicking to ripping each other's clothes off." LOL! LET THEM FIGHT!

Oono shooting hoops!

Poor Oono having to live such a strict life...

LOADING TIMES!

If they're advertising Tekken 7 here, then there better be a character customization option to turn Lili into Oono down the line...

Lol, trained patience thanks to loading times. But...isn't playing with a pad much different than playing with a fight stick? Haruo needs a fight stick at home...

Going around town to find Oono...and she got 70 consecutive wins in Darkstalkers...Haruo goes against her and loses, but thinks nothing much of it. Oono is really feeling down and she does need Haruo as support...

So many things can happen in the next episode, but I think my rating for this anime has already been decided. Heck if it goes the White Album 2 route, I'll still give it the same rating. Just one more week...

Great episode. A pity they've skipped the Guy gum joke.
I hope they go for a 2nd season when manga ends.
They've covered 25 chapters so far (out of 49 already translated), and altough they've been covering a bit over 2 chapters/episode on average, the 26th is a good point to end this season, or they could go over 27 and end a bit more open.

That was great. I loved the extended ED. Seems people think 1 ep is not enough to properly adapt the next chapter or so. I'd prefer if they stuck to a normal pacing and just announced a season 2, rather than do a rushed/original ending just for the purpose of conclusion.

Feeling sad for Hidaka... she is a very nice girl, deserves happiness but... she or Oono -- or both ones -- will lose the game.

Great anime series; I will miss 'High Score Girl'.

Oh how it would be a miracle.

I mean: it can, and the reception looks good, but the manga is ending, so it will be a bit out of habit in the anime industry for a season 2 to happen.

Well, to me the whole idealistic noble kid schtick here felt a bit more like a parody, with all the arranged marriage and no friends and such talk. Plus the parents seem to be Batmanned away , or at least we will never get to know what they think of their daughter.

And not to mention that Haruo actually, not just showed some concern for her (even though his whole "realization" that he likes her came out of the blue), but he also managed to pay attention to his surroundings, instead of only to games. Well, after his schizophrenic period with the guys...

Out of all the consoles Haruo has gotten the Virtual Boy will be the biggest flop yet, wonder how his reaction to that is gonna be especially considering he even worked a part time job for it.

Also I'm guessing if this trend continues to the present day Haruo's future consoles will be:

- The Sega Dreamcast (not a bad system actually and even has some good games but it will eventually flop and be Sega's last console)
- The PS Vita (also not a bad system but for quite a few years lacked both first party and third party support and by the time it did get some it was a little too late)
- The Wii U (same situation with the Vita)
- And finally the Xbox One? (still ongoing so can't really say but in comparison to the PS4 and the Switch it's definitely not doing as well and is really lacking in first party support)

They advertised Tekken 7 wow! from oldest Tekken which have bad pixelated graphics, to the most graphically detailed game that even puts GTX 1080Ti to the test!
anywayz, Haruo finally found Oono!
We knew that the curfew of Oono would be cut to 4pm, and that means rebellion and running away from home! you go girl! but you go MC Haruo and get your girl!
I feel sad for Hidaka. Good thing the two didn't fight at the arcade...but lol, every time Hdaka mentions Haruo, it destabilises Oono!
5/5.
one more episode left! i hope the conclusion would be satisfying...

Anyone knows how much the rating jumped after that episode? It feels a bit like 0.5 on the overall ratings, but I honestly didn't check in a long time (at which point it was like 7.2 or so even though I remember a longer time where it was lingering below 7 for quite some time)...
