Dang, Tooru has a tough personality. I think she has a hard time expressing herself to others but I do like that she's a bit different than Tsuneki.

Wasn't expecting her to be so serious when it comes to video games. I guess that shows her competitive side in this story. Pretty fun episode. I like seeing this side of Seiren as it shows Kamita as a more competitive person too.

This girl is interesting tho a bit stoic at times.
She is a good gamer tho and her hobbies seem a bit childish tho i guess this will be a nice arc.
My guess is the guy in her apartment is her brother.

The voice just likes the teacher in summer camp.

I prefer this girl over Hikari since she's a gamer. She also has a serious side when it comes to gaming. I hope this arc ends right.

Good start to this arc.
I loved Hikari but now I love Tooru too. XD I guess I just find it easy to relate to the whole gamer girl/otaku thing. Plus Tooru is absolutely adorable when she blushes. <3

The game scenes in this episode were all pretty amusing, that deer game though. :3
I don't know why but I thought that the whole "You Died" in the Miriusa game was kind of a parody of Dark Souls. XD
Them Gasogaru games though, Tooru was probably pro at some point. :P

I'm guessing the guy at the end was her brother.

If I had to nitpick something then I'm gonna have to say that they kinda changed Shouichi and Ikuo's personality/hobbies a bit by making them more into video games and anime (evidenced by the Karaoke). This change is pretty obvious this episode especially cause Shouichi in particular showed no interest in games in the previous arc and Ikuo was like a super serious guy. However, I don't think you can really call this out as inconsistent because we're technically restarting the entire setting so making him have different hobbies in different arcs seems like a good way to add diversity to their characters.

The guy at the end is the teacher from the camp during the last arc. I am assuming that is Tooru's brother

Did they change personalities from some characters? Like his sister felt a little off from last arc? Main character feels more "otaku" maybe? I honestly don't remember anything about him from last arc, apart from him being aloof or something... (and that Araki san liked arcades and games more?). Probably just a misunderstanding from me, but okay lol.

Anyway, new girl feels a lot better than the last one, and, more importantly, more suited for the "schrimp" that main character is. I didn't feel her "passion" for anime/games was too genuine first, but in the end it was sweet, I guess.

Too bad that even though this couple feels better, I can't help but think the main character will still be bad... I think Araki would be a better protagonist in both arcs, since he is still a "nerd" but obviously showed attitude (possibly a little too much in 1st arc, but okay).

Hopefully there won't be too much melodrama/forced drama in the next episodes and that we will get some actual romance this time. And a good one, since in the last arc there was barely any romance and it felt forced anyway (why did last girl even like MC? For no reason, exactly).

Still some "cringy" moments (deer game and the things related to it...), but I'll let it pass this time.

The last scene leaves a very great premise for the rest of this arc.
But knowing of the previous arc, and also of how shitty the MC of Seiren is... heuh -_- should I hope? But if I hope I'll be shot down :(

A game about deers, Tsuneki would not like to be anywhere near that.

Nice to see a gamer girl but does Miyamae already has someone? Hopefully that guy at the end will be explained next episode.

Whoever he is I would guess that he doesn't care about video games.

The episode started good but the last few mins really gave me crazy ideas... like the NTR feel some of us are talking about... the other one was when she was thinking about the killshots in the game... YANDERE!! Poor Shouichi... I feel for you... I dunno which is worse.. being friendzoned or this...

Are there any best ending in this series!! LOL

I somehow hope that the guy at the end is Tooru's boyfriend. Would add more drama and perhaps make beta-kun do something instead of blushing 24/7.

Senpai gamer girl is awesome. My interest in this arc just went from 0 to 100.

Her characteristics remind me a lot of Nanasaki (my favorite girl from Amagami), soft-spoken but serious and she also looks like Nanasaki with long hair. She wears a vest too. I miss Hikari a bit though.

What the hell is with that deer game and Furry Souls? Sadly I don't think anything can save this show from that MC though.

I like the new girl. My meaningless mini-rant of the day: A beautiful otaku girl like her could do so much better than beta-kun. Couldn't they upgrade his specs just a bit on some level so we didn't have to suspend our disbelief so much every time a girl falls for him`?

I like her more like Tsuneki. Only one thing, that makes me feel bad is that guy at the end. I really hope that he is just her brother. I hope that Tsuneki screwed ending was enough of bad things for this series.

If that guy is a teacher with a bamboo stick, his name is Sōta Miyamae , so yes it should be her bro.

In the end, i think he is the guy who teach a summer school in Tsuneki arc, but i don't know yet. But the voice is really same as a teacher who in the summer school.

Nice episode :D

I actually liked Tsuneki a lot more for various reasons like her personality and stuff but Tooru seems pretty awesome as well. Gamer girls are great haha. M.C's like Tsuneki have always been my favorite so it's hard for me to like Tooru more :P

The episode was quite enjoyable overall. Tooru blushing is damn cute xD I really hope the dude in the end is her brother :| Quite excited for the next episode ^^

New girl is great. Game and anime diefan. That was pretty funny when she just started singing anime song in karaoke Lmao. Anyway she has great personality, just like the one I like. She is not awkward around men and doesn't even see them as such, i like her already. Btw wtf was that weird deer game LMAO.

Also what does that TL note supposed to mean? I didn't get it >_>

Nice new girl, the fact that she is a gamer girl is quite interesting, but again, my main concern is that this will have weak romance just like the last arc, I really feel the MC is f**king bad.

And that last scene with the guy, it will probably be her brother, but still, I don't like the tendency for this series to develop the arc with a girl that presumably has a love interest for another guy but at the end of the arc it is revealed as her not having such love interest for another guy and just liking the main character (for no reason whatsoever)

Let's hope that was just the premise of last arc.

Absolutely disgusting episode. This MC is the most boring character in the history of anime and he is liked by the girl in both arcs for absolutely no reason whatsoever. After the last arc, I wanted to see something different, but now it's just going to be the MC getting cucked again by Spaniards.

The way it ended didn't leave a good impression regardless if it was a misunderstanding. It left me a very spicy taste in my mouth compared to the last arc which is very Bittersweet.

I'll still sink my teeth into this one, lets really hope its her very shameless brother *shivers*, hopefully it clears up on the next episode.

Excuse me while I re-watch Amagami again.

Seems like Miyamae lives quite differently as compared to Tsuneki, that's good.

Miyamae has a hard time saying what she is actually feeling but at least she isn't as bitchy as Tsuneki.

All in all, a good episode.

Hey...I though with this episode they are gonna continue with the story of the girl from the fourth episode....She became the chef and ...yeah. I was expecting that story to continue. What happened there ?...This reminds me of Amagami Series...But I was surely interested in the further development of the first girl. Can somebody explain in detail what happened. ??

Seems like I'm very much in the minority with my opinion of this being a mucb better arc so far than Tsuneki's, even with that ending in mind. I mean, that'll probably just be a stupid brother or something rather than anything serious based on how this series has handled things so far.

Yeah, personally I still like Hikari, it's a shame she got such a lackluster ending. I'll feel really disappointed if they actually give Tooru a better ending because I'll think about all the better endings that Hikari deserved

Hahaha. Haha. Ha. That's funny. You actually think they'll even start a relationship? Never. If Tsuneki didn't then I refuse to let Tooru do it.

This has infinitely more potential for a good romance than the first arc. Last scene was certainly interesting.

I was REALLY disappointed when they didn't alter the legs to be that of Tooru's. It'd be nice if every arc, there were some more OP changes to accommodate. The OP was exactly the same except for the end-card. Amagami at least mixed the order of highlights in the OP depending on the arc.
sigh

I think this arc started off much better than the last. The setting is relevant this time, so it doesn't feel as disconnected as the rest. Nice to see an appearance from Tsuneki as well. I have higher hopes for this arc. pls be gud

it was because of cute characters "yepp, i feel that"

the line with stomping all over your opponents you won't have any is so true to a degree, but i give my friends large handicaps and still i pop off, well would if i didn't have handicaps to make game even
