| Somehow it feels like the "Fashion Show" excitement still can't beat Sakurai's burden of Sakurai thinking about Morioka all the time. BUT the info about Koiwai is now also playing the same game as them might help. LOL |

| I like that there is now more focus on the real life part of the show but I do miss seeing Lily and Hayashi together more frequently. Koiwai's game character xD Wow she's buffed up lol, even the skinny dude in Hayashi's guild looks small lol |
 |
| This episode was... okay. It didn't really do much for me, and left me kind of confused with all these coincidences piling up |
 |
| that butch female character weirds me out.. |
| xD ommmmg ofc he was that best friend in the older game so cute!! Can't wait to see both of them interact with each other as their real gender in the game!! Koiwai's character had me laughing.. Loving the focus on Sakurai for this episode.<3 |
 |
| I just knew Koiwai was gonna be one of those types to make a "joke" avatar with ridiculous proportions lol Also loved them trolling his AFK avatar by dropping stuff all around him xD When you've got nothing else to do when you're waiting for them to come back... Hurts to see Sakurai pushing Moriko to another guy even though there have been plenty of clues that she likes him more though |
| Good episode. I'm guessing Koiwai/Harumi is gonna help both Momo and Sakurai out even in the game now. |
| ARGH!!! This episode was so cute!!! UGHHRR!!! I LOVED IT!! Sakurai!! DO SOMETHING!! WHATEVER! JUST DO IT! Sakurai, muh man, you have to endure this. You can do it! Your suffering will stop! You will be happy!! And Morioka feeling happy about someone interested in her (Koiwai) willing to play an MMO, in other words, do something you like... sweet. I can't believe this anime only gets 10 episodes T_T |
| Female Morimori-chan is super cute in the MMO. I still don't understand what's Koiwai's plan. Until this episode I thought he was trying to kick Sakurai's ass to make a move on Morioka. But now he's fully intruding Morimori-chans world. Does he want to hit on her himself? |
| It's getting interesting again, now they meet with their characters from the other game and Moriko would have both Sakurai's new character and Lilly to like (and now I wonder whether she realize Lilly=Sakurai or if she still sees them as two different characters). But the realization that she knows Sakurai for years now would be even better. Brace yourself, tons of misunderstandings are coming. Still, we are nearing the end and it would be great to have at least one episode dedicated to other characters too, is Nao Nico too (she was in EP3 btw if you wonder) and Lilac? And Himeralda/Pokotarou? Does everyone here have their alter character? :D btw - it's pretty funny for her to name her character Molly when in Japan it reads Mori :) |
| Holy molly, the way that Sakurai is playing his Lily character, with tons of premium costumes, is just like how I used to play this one MMO some years back, LOL. I, too, had a moment in life when I wanted to be someone/anyone other than myself, so I played an MMO as a female char, collecting a closet full of cute & pretty avatars that cost real money. I actually did used to do fashion shows time to time for both players I knew and passing strangers (just for fun, lol), and I often made them gasp at how much clothes I had on my char. Of course, I didn't stalk anybody, like Sakurai does in this show, because nobody I knew IRL even knew I played it, but it was very fun playing dress up all the time, lol. Alas, I got bored of doing that eventually and stopped playing it, and thus now fallen behind on costume collection... but I still have the character on the account, lol. I can just log back in at anytime, but I moved on and don't feel like doing so, lol. As for Koiwai... Cetais said: n8fury said: He could have made a power move a long time ago, he's mostly helping Sakurai.Female Morimori-chan is super cute in the MMO. I still don't understand what's Koiwai's plan. Until this episode I thought he was trying to kick Sakurai's ass to make a move on Morioka. But now he's fully intruding Morimori-chans world. Does he want to hit on her himself? I'm leaning toward agreeing with you. If Koiwai really wanted Morimori-chan for himself, didn't he have plenty of chances when he went out for a drink with her? Why would he start gaming now, when he could have done something else IRL to keep Morimori toward him? I think he already knows that both Sakurai and Morimori are gamers, so perhaps he's asking both Morimori and Sakura to join him for... something? Mich666 said: Brace yourself, tons of misunderstandings are coming. Totally; this would definitely be cringe worthy too, when it happens... lol. |
| To be or not to be... that is not the question. ;3 |
| I'm more worried about them gonna introduce new alt characters spicing the complex drama around it when we only have 3 episodes left. At this rate, we probably not gonna receive an ending that we want and that is the interaction between Morioka & Sakurai after they realized each other's identities. |
| I'm really curious about Morioka's past and the reason why she resigned on her job. |
 |
| Alright, we got it! We got to see the anime from Sakurai's perspective. Hehe, Moriko's new character is basically her with blue hair. Koiwai's character Harumi...SO MANLY! And it looks as though Sakurai and Moriko were partners in a previous MMO game...Is this fate? 3 episodes left. Hopefully we get the two big questions answered: 1. Will Moriko learn Lily's true identity? 2. Why did Moriko quit her job? I know people are looking for the solution to the romance, but for me, the two questions above take the most priority right now. Besides, if question 1 is answered before the end of the series, I think we can predict how the romance will go. |
 |
| Oh My God! just a little bit more and Morioka-san will eventually find-out his true identity! KYAAAHHH!!! LOL I laughed so much to the online game character reveal of Koiwai-san! so hilarious! Oh really! Sakurai already met Morioka-san from a previous different MMORPG??!? At the end, looks like Koiwai-san spoiled it already to Morioka-san? about Sakurai? deymn! can't wait for next week!!! 5/5. |
 |
| I guess the blue-haired Morika in the OP had a double meaning - it doesn't just relate to Hayashi, as I thought. Did anyone else notice that Koiwai's in-game character is based on that blonde woman in the ED? I always wondered who that person related to... I also wonder where Nico came from, but her personality is a lot different from the other characters for dynamic purposes, so I'm fine with it... and it looks like Sakurai made his avatar look like it was from the old game too... I can't wait to see what happens! |
| Sakurai is acting like a pus, so cause of that koiwai, with more balls is stealing his girl. Cmon man The anime concept itself is good, but the cliffhanger of him revealing who he is to her is gettin stale. Koiwai is funny af doe |

thesarcasticguy said: Seems like Sakurai and Morioka know each other from another game, this kind of plot development happens a lot in Kdramas where a fact emerges which shows that the two leads are actually related to each other somehow. Raz1515 said: As expected, they knew eachother from another game. I really don't see how this developement was neccessary at all... Apple_BS said: The "they knew each other from another online game" is totally unnecessary, or unwanted cliche Err, you know, people. This was obvious already before episode 3. You watched at least 4 episodes knowing that. Why pointing it out now? And by the way, that's a good thing, imho. That's why they created a character resembling the other person in the first place. And if they didn't do that, they wouldn't probably been attracted so much to each other's avatar to the point to realize (well, only Sakurai for now) they met irl too... |

| bruh |
| I haven't really liked the past couple of episodes really, everything seems to be getting convoluted ... Koiwai joins the game so they both make new characters, and Sakurai is joining in as well?! Plus it seems as though he and Moriko used to play an older MMO together as well ... everything seems to be getting complicated >_< Well either way way more characters are joining up like Nico, I don't think we've seen her before either? I just wonder how this can be resolved in 3 more episodes o_O |
Mau-Kun said: That's exactly why I LOVE this show, I'm tired of the typical stereotype of "30-year-olds are mature, secure and emotionally stable", that's a huge lie, lots of 30-year-olds are still immature, insecure and have emotional conflicts, specially Moriko who has few or no experience in romantic relationships, also taking in count that she's a millennial, which makes this show even more realistic. Considering millennial immaturity is what's wrong with modern society, I don't think that's a good thing. It's called RECOVERY of an MMO junkie, I don't see any recovering, how is she affording this without work? Are we even going to see her get a new job by the series end? We only have 3 episodes left and the romance hasn't even concluded... so I doubt we'll get a full Recovery by series end... we seem to have left the symbolic nightmares back in episode 2 for this love triangle nonsense. "I'm tired of the typical stereotype of mature, secure, and emotionally stable..." What other 30-year old romantic main characters have you seen recently? Lol, they ain't a majority that's for sure, I watch teenage romance to get childish reactions, I didn't pick up Net-Juu to watch Moriko drop to her knees and declare "Uwaa, Hazukashi!" when a fellow adult asks if she's cute... There's a big difference between having an "Inner Child" and being "Immature". If your still Immature at 30, your doing wrong by life and society, Especially in Japan. Moriko was a good worker according to Sakurai's research, but so far all we've seen is her Romance being muddled and complicated. I'm still here, so I haven't dropped it yet, but I have yet to see an ADULT romance in anime, if I wanted little love games I'd watch Toradora. Maybe Mori will get her shit together in 3 episodes, but the more time goes by the more I think we are looking at a cliche, "romance reveal" in the final episode with no solid conclusion besides Mori and Sakurai finally getting together. You can afford that kind of ending when the MCs are teens because they have no pressing responsibilities to take care of like feeding themselves, rent, and work. |

Mau-Kun said: You're still forgetting that she has almost no experience with romance and she clearly said it so her reactions at the guys are very very natural, you just don't have to look her like a 30-year-old but as a person whose heart wasn't moved like that in a plenty of time, possibly even never, and I still think the immaturity betewwn these 30-year-olds is still a good thing for the story because it gives you something different than you expected, if 30-year-old romance was shown in a story like this in the way you propose it'd be really boring, you're expecting them to be perfect because of their age and no, it can't always be like that, this anime is clearly not made for overthinkers. I'm a virgin, I have no experience with romance, and I would never react that way lol. I'm getting tired of the excuse, "well it's an anime." to cover for every flaw a series has. I think Mori is "cute", but at some point you need to Act your age. And why are you assuming a "true" 30-year old romance would be boring?? again, what other shows do we have to compare it to with full adults romancing as the main plot? And I never used the word "perfect", you can clearly see what I typed. "Immaturity" is the absolute norm in anime, I really don't understand where your coming from here. I was attracted to this show BECAUSE I thought older protagonists would largely be ABOVE the cliche immaturity we get in anime starring kids HALF THEIR AGE. Half their age.... I guess I thought too highly of this show from the first 3 episodes and figured they'd really delve into workplace fears to the "backdrop" of stress relief with MMO games. The show is still called RECOVERY of an MMO Junkie, so if the only "resolution" we get by anime's end is that Moriko has a boyfriend now, she's still a NEET who barely takes care of herself and has admitted to cutting into savings to play an online game. That is not a Recovery and I will point it out. |
|
| Dropped, it became way to complicated and even more unrealistic than it was, I was annoyed and mostly bored + really dont think can turn out well with the remaining 3 episodes. |
| Kowai going all out aggressively to help Sakurai and he still held back... looked like fate really want Sakurai together with Mori-chan with all the concidences happening. Can't believe there are only 3 episodes left T.T |
| That's what I call coincidence, Sakurai and MoriMori are playing together since the old game they used to play... |
 |
| Well that was funny xD I mean the fact that Moriko created a different character yet she still met her clan xD What a coincidence...i wonder how Moriko will react when she will see her old friend. One of the best animes from this season. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Ok who the fuck is Nico or am I completely missing something? |
 |
| so... Nico is actually mentioned in episode 3, and yes she's a member of their guild... i just realized that this anime only has 10 ep... :( |
 |
| Way too many coincidences in this show. |
| I like the perspective on Yuuta in this episode and the internal struggle that he's having. Damn that character from Kaiwaisan ...hahaha |
| Damn, was this cliche really necessary. Morimori and Sakurai already had more than enough going on with them being Hayashi and Lily... but now we bring up an old game in which they also so happened to be BFF? Common... the life is not so convenient. There were already quite few convenient parts in the show, like Kande being the shop employer but that was something easy to turn blind eye to as he is just a side character. The two of them bumping into each other on the street... it was still fine. BUT... the development and reveal from this episode... it impacts the main storyline too much but more importantly it wasn't necessary at all. The main parring was already connected to each other with strong bond so why do we need to add completely new one at top of that. Worse of all that new bond is in form of convenient flashback, which while somewhat foreshadowed from the start is truly way too convenient. Well, I am still enjoying the show for what it is and to be honest I don't really watch this anime for it's story but rather because it's enjoyable with it's characters and MMO-background but this episode definitely took a strong hit at my likenesses of this show as a whole. |
| WAHAHAHA This is getting interesting! 10/10 |
 |
| I hate Koiwai more and more... He isn't being "best bro" by doing like he actually wants to date Morioka... Poor Sakurai misunderstands it of course :/ I hope he finally reveals his identity to her. |
 |
| Koiwai's avatar lol what a guy Kind of extremely number of coincidences, it's like the MMO version of childhood friends trope |

I don't usually read to many into the threads but i did on this episode cause i wanted to see if someone already pointed this. I feel EXACTLY the same about this episode, and it was such a bummer cause i've been enjoying it SO MUCH. But this new development was so unnecessary. |
 SEIZON SENRYAKU: Hungry 100% of the time.Vzla-IT |
| Oh quite interesting flashback, so both are even further unknowingly related than before! Really great progression especially with that ending, let's see what's next |
 |
| Oh my god, they've known each other for a year then... if they had met in the first MMO they played. Although, I kind of expected that from the drift of this anime... |
