Lilac is pretty cute irl not gonna lie, wonder what hang ups she's got...
Yuuta reveal as Lily-san was predictable af

I hope we won't be getting a love triangle with the convenience store guy, Yuuta and Koiwai

I'm thinking the store guy might be either Kanabe or Pokotarou but what was that about one of the guys being married irl?

I just realized this show is almost everything I've wished for out of a gaming anime (or even just anime in general). How can one single show get so many things right that numerous others have failed to do? How did it take this long for someone to think that maybe self-insert power fantasy RPG anime with harem of girls fighting over an MC's cock aren't what some people want?

All I can say is: thank god this show exists. A lot of video game/RPG fantasy/isekai anime take themselves so damn seriously and set stupidly high stakes for the sake of drama when its JUST. A. GAME. That, or they hone in on the overly technical aspects that no one cares about. Its almost like the creators of Net-juu are gamers themselves who understand what makes the gaming experience fun, and not some random otaku guy writing a trashy LN that is really just a pandering wish-fulfillment fantasy in disguise as a "gaming" story.

Wait, the game they're playing has a mechanic that fucks with your drop rate if you say you want rare loot?

Waaah! The secret is out! This anime really don't beat around the bush. And after seeing preview I want the next episode now! (date perhaps?)

(still don't think this is a tringle thing though, Koiwai is most likely just provoking him to take an act)

btw - new pair was seen! Kanbe/Fujimoto x Lairack/blond girl (whatshername?)
Himeralda (Lailah) and Pokotarou (Koiwai) are probably married.

Anyway, this ep was also so great in terms of how MMOs work, all those real world intrusions :D

Also, Mabinogi, are they actually playing copy of that ?

Her social interactions at the store really gave me Tomoko (watamote) vibes, that was fun. And I love how he (lily) is kind of realizing who really is behind his in game partner.

Oh man this episode was great. I wasn't sure about this anime after episode one, but I'm hooked now. I will say the characters were overly happy about mtx in a MMO. Although, it looked to be all cosmetic (like skins in overwatch) so I guess I can understand that.

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME. Not only can I not escape freaking dabbing in anime, but now I have to deal with LOOT BOXES. The whole game is now ruined, at least the anime is still good. (Nah, it ain't that bad, at least not in all cases)

Okay, but seriously, don't wait in front of the dang counter for five minutes that's so awkward, at least go browsing or pretend to browse or something...none of that is important THAT ENDING WAS GREAT. Things are starting to click. I look forward to more.

If this ends up as a love triangle between the store clerk, the halfie and the Christmas cake, I'm dropping it. It should at least be expected that a store clerk would know to dispose of expired goods.

Good episode,finally I'm starting to get invested into this show and the plot also moved a bit more forward.

Sakurai seems to have an idea about Hayashis real identity.

And Morioka is rather ropular with the guys,good for her xD

Now I'm really interested to see where this will go.

We finally got to see who's the person behind Lilac and she's beautiful and seems so kind. It's like she's falling in love with men who's nice with her. That's just my feeling because for a moment there we saw her like being so jealous with Lily being partners with Hayashi. But when Kanbe-san's suddenly complimented her, it's like she switched to Kanbe. Hehe. Idk anymore, but I like her. She's so cute.

Moriko and that convenience store guy Kazuomi finally talked to each other and ugh they look so cute together. So happy for Moriko since she finally talked to someone about the MMO game she loves. Haha. I feel her.

I'm honestly wheezing and freaking out right now. Sakurai really is in love with Moriko. It's so obvious and I'm honestly squealing. Kyaaaa!

Koiwai went to that convenience store to try if he'll see Moriko and HE DID. Kazuomi (the convenience store guy) was eavesdropping and he looks jealous. Hehe. Moriko did recognize and remember Koiwai-san Aww. Then Koiwai made Sakurai jealous by getting her number and e-mail. Hahaha. Dyiiing.

OHMYGOD. AND JUST LIKE THAT, SAKURAI ALREADY FIGURED OUT WHO'S THE PLAYER BEHIND HAYASHI. OHMYGOOOOD. I'M SCREAMING. This episode is sooo good.

5/5 for this episode and from 8/10 for this anime to 9/10. Gaaaaaaaah! Can't wait for the next episode. <3


OHMYGOD. But she still looks so good, I mean it fits her. :D Now she looks cleaner.

More fun! And we got to see who Lilac is IRL. And the guild master likes her old outfit...So who would the guild master be?

Wow, they actually showed what happens when one character is standing in the same spot as another character.

Lol Desire Sensor. We Monster Hunters know what that is.

Hmm...I wonder if Koiwai also plays the MMO...

Wait...Koiwai...and Sakurai...going for Moriko? You know what that means?

I agree with you. It's like her trademark in the show and now it makes her look like a typical character.

Well I guess her getting the more typical look is some sort of symbolism to her "recovery" from her NEET status.
Her messy, unruly and long hair representing the messy NEET lifestyle she's put herself in.
And the short hair is likely gonna be her look once she's been "recovered" (of course by Sakurai, any one else and as I said before I'm dropping this).

I like that image of those 2.

Mori-Mori looks so pretty, cool and mature like her age, while Sakura-chan looks like a young, innocent and good-looking pretty boy. Perhaps Sakura-chan is in his mid 20s.

LOL I am now following Koiwai's habit of calling Yuuta, "Sakura-chan", from his name Sakurai, but it's a fitting nickname, as he's both an Ikemen in real life and a cute Moe Bishoujo in his online Avatar as Lily. Hope they get together in the end.

Koiwai calls Sakurai with the nickname "Sakura-chan", and Sakura is a flower with the color pink, and he uses a pink keyboard, and his game character Lily has Pink Hair. Pink is his fav color.

Most likely, I've hunted down the source material and it's just a short webcomic about 8 pages-long, the staff who decided to make an anime out of it crafted almost all of it from scratch, they had to have an interest in gaming to even bother, imo

I'm a bit bummed that this Seafood Online (yes) is using gambling :( I can remember a time when we payed a few coins for the costume thing we wanted and that was it. Nasty nasty marketting plan >:( But heh, it's realistic I guess.....
This show is doing very good, it's simple and accurate and yes it's stunning that it took so long for this to happen to gaming anime. I'm glad for almost everything it's doing

Also I guess the green elven person is confirmed as a woman as they're engaged with fisherman and live together, by Japanese law that means straight couple, and i don't expect this show to pull off actual transgender material (who knows)

That ED song is just so amazing to hear, my favorite for this season.

Lily-chan looks so cute in anything she wears although I much prefer her default pinkish attire, it really suits her more imo.

Seems like Lilac may be onto something regarding Hayashi/Mori.
I feel like Kanbe is the cash register guy, idk he mentioned playing the game too and they both have green type hair. I'm hoping to see a bit more Mori and Yuuta next episode, really want them to go out already. That PV where they call Mori a 30 year old NEET, I really hope they don't make fun of Hayashi/Mori for being a NEET.

I couldn't help but laugh like a maniac at the gambling segment because it so accurately describes my experience with the games I have played/currently play. I've always had an addiction to Asian MMORPGs which 99% of the time have a gacha element that encourages irresponsible gambling.

It also applies to phone games as well, like FEH and FGO which are arguably the absolute worse when it comes to addictive gacha. The gag about Lily being the type to keep throwing money until she gets what she wants was hilarious but painfully reminded me of my own FEH habits. This anime just speaks to me on so many levels and I frigging adore it.

The moment I saw the Mabinogi ad cameo, this 100% became a show that I could strongly relate to. I've played as a character of the opposite gender and spent plenty on gachapon for cosmetic equipment (because fashion). I also discovered that an IRL friend was in the same guild as mine in a similar way when Yuta was making connections with the scenario that Moriko described.

I love this series and can't wait for the next one to come out. Old WOW player of old I like series like these especially because they aren't kids playing. Wish I could find the manga to fill in some of the blanks. All I can find is scanlations up to chapter 5 (when Hiyashi joins the guild which did fill in some gaps like he's level 20 when everyone else is over 100 more the most part). Been a while since I was so excited for a series!!!!

If you want to look ahead, here are the raws: http://www.comico.jp/articleList.nhn?titleNo=27
But yea, sadly no one has been translating them. Seems like in the raws, they focus more on the gaming aspect in the beginning than showing real life stuff.

So glad I tried this out when it was still at two episodes this season. I was curious if it was gonna be okay because as a MMO player, that made me want to try it out lol; it turned out better than I expected though, and loving this setup. It's not the usual "OP MC stuck in a MMO and all the girls wants his dick" :v

A lot of us just wants the slice-of-life feel to it and gaming and perhaps cute little relationships that go with it (coz it happens in gaming too: like I met my bf in an MMO and we've been together for 3 years) because so many people can relate to it! The fact this touches on the real life aspect of MMO-gaming is what's so appealing about this little series.

We have six more episodes and I hope this show would open the door for more like it!

This anime looks like it'll be the BDOS (big disappointment of the season) as well as the GPOS (guilty pleasure of the season).

It's a disappointment because I was hoping for something more than just a simple romance. Morioka is dealing with many issues: the dull stresses of middle age, emotional isolation, workplace issues, trust in technologically-mediated socializing, and financial fragility, to begin with. It looks like this series is going to explore none of these, and settle for having a handsome man solve everything.

It's a guilty pleasure because I can appreciate a good romance, and the MMORPG elements are relatable. Plus, Morioka is kinda cool.
...but then again, I unironically like Warau Salesman.
