| Akane's such a tsundere. And Ako can't tell the game from real life? I expect some character development... But isn't a little bit strange that they kept switching Akane and Kyou from male to female, male to female, male to female? |
| Cross-country >>>>>>>>>>>> Every other sport |
| Fun episode, I like the females we currently have, although Ako really needs to change. Also, I want a fucking kissing scene! |
 |
Kinda cringy but funny. |
| Hi there |
Findulas said: Excuse me...? I am over 18, and I am still enjoying this. Maybe it is because I spent so much time gaming, and dealing with stuff like this (well, except not being able to tell apart game from reality, that is new). This anime does great job at portraying gaming, and net gaming especially. Add some moe, some jokes, some fanservice, and a premise of a potentially good story.... what is there not to like ? Yeah same here man, reading those statements are one of the dumbest thing I've read on the internet a while now, like what. Really enjoyed this ep like the first, my kind of humor. |
 |
| The Cringe of this, it's pure gold. I liked the manga, (Haven't had time to read the LN) and the anime is incredibly good, really makes me laught, Ako's cuteness and delusions are great. >Ako's love is purest than normies love 10/10 , my sides. _________________________ SirWithCoffee said: Touma, is that you?! -------- You're not alone. I'm 25 and I'm enjoy this stuff. *laughs* +1, my fellow comrades, 22 and I still enjoy this. |
 |
| Well it's more funny than the manga at least. That reference of Kamijou Touma at the ending... |
 |
| Pretty funny seeing Ako having a screw loose in her head. Get to see some male nekomimi next ep! |
| Just a question... Why are people already calling this a "generic harem ecchi anime"? (ps. I'm up to date on the manga...and i still don't know how they came to that conclusion.) |
| I really enjoyed this episode, mainly in the middle, while the ending left us off at a bit of a surprise. |
 |
| This show genuinely surprised me. I knew I'd enjoy it a little, but Ako's interactions with "Rusian" and "Schwein" before homeroom had me laughing out loud. I can't wait to see how this progresses. |
| Ako delusional obsession might cost someone their dear life in the future. That being said, this episode is entertaining, but the character shifting in game is bad, I'd rather have Schwein and Master stay males in-game, that would make their reaction more hilarious. Also clearly the neko-sensei is an older women acting out of her age. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| Master just got hot in the game... Yes Ako is a pretty interesting character with hedeiki and all |
 |
| Aww Ako knows this game her whole life? Cat girl is back YAY |
| I'm liking how they detailed the lips and not made them bland, it makes the girls look like they are wearing lipstick. It would be awkward if someone called me by my game now, although for others it would be even more awkward. Some people have them why names, like NoobHunter45. Seeing Ako's airhead personality is fun to watch. Kyoh should have just sent locked them two in that solitary confinement room. Maybe then Ako could tell between game and reality. Cat girl is back. I wonder if she was telling the truth. |
 |
| Well this has some interesting quirks for sure. Ako is an interesting character, basically she has real life standing issues which is why she cannot differentiate well how the two worlds work like, and well considering how her background may be like I guess it isn't that impossible to figure, hopefully they expand on that. Now what is cute to watch is that Ako with all her naivete and her own internal struggles really seems to love Rusian genuinely, which is sweet. Our president Master is the troll character and our tsundy Schew is gonna be the support I guess? Also that fanservice scene with the picture of all the characters as girls was......unique. Ako making things complicated for everybody was also fun to watch. All in all it seems like this will be Haganai meets KonoSuba or something like that '-' |
 |
| A lot of people seem to have gotten the impression that Ako can't differentiate between games and reality, but has any of you considered this possibility? What if Ako can differentiate between games and reality, but chooses not to differentiate between the two? From the previous episode, we know that she doesn't have any friends in real life and, from these two episodes, that Ako isn't very social. While there aren't any signs that she's being bullied, I think it's pretty safe to say that Ako finds her game life to be much more fulfilling than her real life. This can lead to fear of real society and unease about the future, in which case averting one's eyes from reality is one of the easiest and most common methods of escape. Some people might see that as weakness, and I suppose they would be right. I would argue, however, that humans are inherently weak creatures. If we weren't weak, we wouldn't need tools. Or entertainment. Or other people. Of course, one can never deny the possibility that it's Ako's yandere side that refuses to distinguish between games and reality. Eve778 said: Akane's such a tsundere. And Ako can't tell the game from real life? I expect some character development... But isn't a little bit strange that they kept switching Akane and Kyou from male to female, male to female, male to female? The first switch shows Rusian's changed image of them, but I think the following switches are supposed to emphasize the fact that they're going out of character. It's most obvious with Schwein because the way she speaks (types, really, since it's actually in-game chat) changes: her manner of speech changes from Schwein's masculine one (俺様／お前／だ／ぜ／だろう／か？) to Akane's feminine one (あたし／あんた／なの／の／でしょ／の？). It's a MMORPG, after all; the players all create characters and play as them, not as themselves... but it's hard to completely separate one's real self from one's character, especially when talking with real-life acquaintances. The transformation effect also kind of emphasizes the fact that Ako is the same in-game and in real life, because her appearance doesn't change. Personally, I like it, but I agree that the sudden swap looks a little strange when watching. |

| Huh, still good and funny, kinda surprised. i wonder why Cat girl is back. |
| After watching the episode I feel somewhat sorry for those IRL people I met from online games and calling them their game names and not their real names lots and I mean lots of times lol (;゜ロ゜) It was easier that way to me and honestly I tried to call them their real names but I simply went back to using their game names without thinking about it even now I use their game names lol. So I can relate to Ako on how she is though in some aspects of not distinguishing game from RL. Anyways, I am really interested who neko is and hoping it's really a girl and not a guy cuz in episode 1 what she said isn't true cuz I met a real woman who role played like that. The avatar changing real time is an interesting thing based on Schwein chat window which switches from male/female form which I don't think has been done like that besides going from normal to chibi like that one show Himouto! Umaru-chan. That OP is really giving me vibes of Oreimo too much, the nostalgia... sigh. |

| I just found out that Segawa had the share the same voice as Chino in gochiusa and Nekone in Utawarerumono 2. |
| Ako's behavior is more annoying than fun. I was facepalming during the whole classroom scene. How cool is a Net Game Club though. Segawa is awesome though, too bad she's not the heroine. Ako was cute in a pitiful way, may Rusian have the strength to stand her. 3/5 |
| I said this the first episode and i'm gonna say it again, I really did not think I was gonna like this series this much. It's pretty much the best of the season so far for me. Man that ending song was 10/10 literally any song nanjou sings I will buy every edition of. The character designs are great too, its really standing out more now that i'm on the second episode. I'm getting a haganai/ oreimo vibe from this and its going great for me :D |
 |
| During the first episode I was thinking "This may just be the typical harem storyline with Fantasy RPG thrown into it", but after that episode I'm thinking a little differently. 1) The fact that Ako cannot distinguish fantasy from reality is quite important as many of the younger generations (being brought up by technology) may be losing sight of that slightly. This is not only an interesting topic to cover in an anime, but I feel that if they do it right, it could be brilliant. 2) Starting to see character developments keeps me very interested. Each character is progressing at a steady pace, but fast enough that I believe I will understand them more by the later episodes. --- No spoilers please --- The first 5 minutes of this episode and the way that Ako is portrayed in the opening, and the amime, gives me a horrible feeling that something will happen to her. If this anime goes the way I feel it will, tears may be shed. I hope it doesn't, but I hope it does at the same time. |
 |
| Whenever Ako goes into psycho mode it really reminds me of the Hex maniacs from Pokemon, especially with how similar they both look... |

| Rusian is so lucky because she have Ako. XD I can't wait for the new development between Rusian and Ako in next episodes. |
 |
| now this is my kind of cancer |
 |
| Psycho moe big boobs... Nope, I'm on Akane's side, tsundere always wins my heart <3 |
| i can see why people would drop it because it's so cringe and i feel like i shouldn't be liking it as much as i am but it some how just works and i luv it haha and i'm interested to see where it goes from here i hope we see more of them play the game or ako sucks them into it or something!! |
| Schwein/Segawa is such a best girl, I just can't see how she's not considered the over-all best girl. Ako is just a clueless idiot, tho ye she keeps things interesting. Annoying though. On top of it, Schwein has the best chemistry with the MC, I want them to end up together so damn much! But ye, them being best friends works, too. Which means Ako and Nishi should never become best friends. Master is nice, too. Fun episode, I'm liking this now. |

| Really fun episode. I honestly can't see Ako fixing her personality. I hope that the cat girl will spice things up a bit ^_^ |
 |
| If an anime gives me a relaxing feeling. I'll rate it 5/5. |
 |
| Well done Ako for breaking down cliches of keeping secret identities secret. Their secret identity didn't last even half a day, hahaha! Essentially this is as I remember it from the manga. Looking forward to what happens with the fake Neko girl and Ako's Yan moments next. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
25 here too and I'm already loving this anime! Isn't Ako-chan the cutest girl ever? |
PolisChan said: Opening REALLY reminds me of ClariS - Irony. Like REALLY REALLY reminds me of it. Same, especially the opening instrumental. Also, Segawa is without a doubt the best girl in this series. I'm loving it so far :3 |
| Damn. I usually hate tsundere characters but Segawa is the real deal. I like her a lot. The club application baiting in the end is very funny. I can relate somehow because my PC is also a hand-me-down back in the old days. |
Inori_is_love said: I think the original guy who catfished him was actually a girl lying for harem... sorry, "plot" purposes I wouldn't doubt that, definitely add some drama to the action. Really liking this show. I hope they don't break up Ako-Russian paring. That's one of the really likeable aspects of the show to me. Hopefully Russian's barrier gets broke down and he actually falls for ako irl. I know it's got harem vibe but maybe it can keep this together, think it will much funnier this way. |

SirWithCoffee said: Seriously, her cuteness is so dangerous! I think I have to call the dentist! *laughs* Joking aside, her cuteness is real! Her smiles <3 her pure personality <3 +1 Older than that myself and find It quite enjoyable It ridiculous, when she goes into crazy mode it's more so. |

| i am really enjoying this episode..the scene at the classroom is so funny |
| Did anyone notice the Merlion(statue of a creature with a lion's head and fish's tail) picture before the commercial break? YEAH SINGAPORE! Pretty funny episode. |
| “Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth. But the world isn't perfect, and the law is incomplete..." -Alphonse Elric "Then and now, what I protect has never changed!" -Sakata Gintoki I'll take anything like The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. Anything as good as that. |
| Hilarious episode. |
| How is Segawa considered the best girl, again? I don't see anything differentiating her from the typical, annoying tsundere. |

| Pretty great, i hope the romance fully develops. Mascera said: Yeah this is pretty normal, it takes practice to not impose reality in on your mental image of someone's game character. ESPECIALLY when it comes to gender. It's really hard to treat a character female if you know the player is male, or vice versa.So Rusian's perspective changed ever since that meetup? Well, I guess that's just normal considering the truth he just find out.And just looking at how Akane trying to be friendly that all of a sudden is so funny. And Ako's air-headed behavior in this episode is somehow annoying more than fun to watch.  |

| I'm almost 26 here, and I enjoy this too. Agreed on Ako, she is sweet. |
|
| Looks OK but rather hollow at the moment, Ako is an original character but she's also too unrealistic |
| god dammit man is she really that stupid |
