Another fun episode. Definitely loving Katou a lot already.

The lack of delicious kneesocks was sad, though.

Hahaha Megumi would make the best assassin in history. She's on stealth mode 365 XD.

Aki has that Harem king power where by he attracts multiple girls but is to dense to capitalize.

Hmm the producers were 100% right to choose Matsuoka Yoshitsugu as Aki's voice actor.
with his character track list, he should have a sub category of his own.

Was it really? I mean, i also thought, hmm, this looks like Clannad, also based on Aki's comments (character drops dead, gets revived again, all the crying xD)

That was so hillarious in its way, now I really enjoy the way Kato always talks without a presence and emotions. But that alone would be much sought and defining trait of her character, right? :D
It's also interesting how Tomoya is almost always not conscious of women, I wonder when that changes for him.

And the cafe scene were pure brilliant with those camera angles, they really tried to make her as invisible as it could be, perfect done work! Character dialogues are also great.

It was a super awkward episode. Had to mute most of the restaurant scene to get through it. But I love the interactions of all the characters. These interactions will carry the show for me, as the characters themselves are quite boring. But together, they are really funny.

Also the noise Aki made there at the end before he fell over had me laughing so hard I had trouble clicking that "+" button on my list to get to the forums.

I really love the OP and ED though. And the Changes into "Shaft-style" art is cool too, i like when that happens.

Yeah she's actually really witty and perceptive, I have a feeling Tomoya will start seeing this as things progress and he has to build a character around her.

Katou might be the best girl.

Good episode. I'm starting to like really like the series. Katou is so boring but at the same time she isn't. Unlike Kasumigaoka (my fav) and Eriri she has the most normal personality. Also like how they animated the cafe scene. They made you like at everything but her to symbolize how boring and unnoticeable she is. Anyway can't wait for the next episode.

4/5.

This was a great episode, I could better understand the personality of some characters mainly the heroin, she is much more interesting than I thought, I too liked this casualness of Megumi

The other girls of the club appear to have already feelings for Tomoya, then I am very curious about the development of the story, but I already think Megumi may be among the best girls of the season ..

"What emotion or idea you try to convey." Well, when the show spells out its flaw I don't know what to say but my avatar says it better than any words. That's what happen when your hero is just a dedicated otaku without depth or interesting personality and acting like an idiot the whole time, I've seen many otaku more subtle than him. Btw I don't buy in the "Kato has no personality" thing, come on besides that blond twin-tail tsundere and stocking-wearing long black hair haraguroi Kato is the most interesting character, it loses some of the surprises right away when your heroine is definitely not generic in just the first two episodes. The whole thing is now just a punchline.

Finally some VN references and punchlines, I hope there will be more once they start the pre-production.

That was one boring episode. So much uninteresting talking & the pacing felt so slow. And the protagonist starting to get on my nerves. He was talking too much useless thing, reminded me of Tatsuya from Mahouka.
To be quite frank, the "boring girlfriend" Kato was not boring at all. It's actually the protagonist who bored me.

Kato is really spot on with the monotone "generic" girl characteristic. I like how the show really emphasizes her trait by minimizing her focus in the show and when she does show some emotion, she kinda stands out.

Bonus points for the moe clumsy maid in the background for emphasizing the idea.

God, The main character (the guy) is so annoying, I mean sure you are trying to portray an otaku, but this is over exaggeration. I would love for romance development of ALL the girls, not just one. Kaoru is a pretty chill girl, I have to admit that lol. However, I am still an Utaha fan lol.... I just wish he tuned down his annoying attitude

Really like the MC in this. I'll repeat what I said in the other thread.

skudoops said:


Despite this being a generic harem setup the dude

1. Isn't a pussy and stands up for himself.
2. While being showered with girls is legitimately not interested and isn't perverted.
3. Isn't stupid either but not so ridiculous genius. He's just not very talented for the field he wants to be in.
4. Not socially awkward in the "I'm afraid to talk to girls" way, but in the uncaring about shit way while also not being a complete blank slate type.
5. Isn't the other end of the spectruum like that dude from SAO or Mahouka.

I haven't seen much harem stuff but he seems to be a much more grounded protagonist than in most of these types of anime.


To add to that, he's also not oblivious.

Gotta love Megumi's deadpan and stealth personality.

I had to skip some scenes at the restaurant because of Aki's loud voice. It was annoying. Funny how it focuses on the clumsy waitress while he was talking.

Funny episode. It had me giggling and smiling at their conversations. Having two of the most beautiful girls in school with him makes me a bit jealous.

So far so very good. This series isn't pandering and twisting characters out of sorts for comic or service relief. I was a little scared when I watched episode 0, but so far it looks like this won't be a service-driven series. Which is great, because I actually find the character interactions to be genuinely amusing. It isn't that the characters are unique; I think it's still possible to fit them into rough categorizations. But it's the fact that they deviate just enough from the conventional mold and that they mix so well together that make this series so enjoyable. Katou unintentionally dead-panning everything everyone else is saying is great comedy in and of itself.

Definitely a breath of fresh air for this rather underwhelming season.

It was funny that she got the game spoiled even though that probably sucked
