The MCs have really grown on me, and I even enjoyed the supernatural twist! Haruo is actually a sweetheart and his Mum... well... XD

All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath.

Decent second episode, the CGI still bothers me heavily but well the being sick and urban legend arcade sure was fun. What bothers me even more is that she doesn't talk at all...

So we're not gonna talk about Haruo getting hit with the car last time?
The arcade was...a ghost arcade?
I thought this was a slice of life show, not magical realism

Haruo's mom will be a great wingwoman when he gets older
...How old are these kids anyway? 10? 12?

This episode in particular did a great job representing 1991. Arcades, casual teacher/parental abuse, kids running around for hours without their parents knowing where they are, etc. Good times.

Totally disagree with Haruo in this episode, Super Nintendo/Super Famicon > PC Engine/TurboGraphx 16 all day long, when those two classmates are discussing Final Fantasy IV's release that's where it's at. The way he calls them 'casuals' is hilarious, go back to your pile of crappy 16-bit platformers while the SNES players get into some hardcore RPGs Haruo, stick with your button masher fighting games and platformers, no-nothing goofball lol

Haruo is actually a good boy.

The ghost arcade was actually cool, almost like a history lesson in these older cabinet games.

Love how their relationship isn't staggering for development. Only two episodes in and they're comfortable around each other hehe.

Omg I fucking died when his mom was peeking at them up and down the doorway crack HAHAHAHAH XDDD

This anime gives me Prison School and Ping Pong vibes. Like. Not so much the storyline, but the animation style and execution of it haha.

The hotcakes looked DAMN good P;

I don't wanna ship em cuz Ono is too cute for Haruo, BUT I GUESS THEY'RE KINDA SWEET TOGETHER LOL. I wish she spoke tho :3
He's really considerate towards her ^.^ with the shoes and the snack and last ep's lollipops (:

I didn't like the first episode that much, but this episode was better. Loved the twist of them entering the past.

I enjoy a good dialogue in a show, but this show only has the main character monologuing and talking to Ono with her not responding. I wasn't digging that but their dynamic in this episode was better. I hope it improves more.

I also don't get why this show is in CG. I don't hate CG at all, I love it even when it adds to the overall experience like with Polygon Pictures' productions (Ajin, Sidonia no Kishi and the Godzilla movies), Houseki no Kuni and Seikaisuru Kado. The difference is that CG really enhanced the viewing experience in those shows because it's used in inventive ways. This show is just a regular comedy with SOL elements where CG frankly doesn't add anything.

Still, I'm gonna check out a few more episodes before deciding to drop it or not. It's on Netflix anyway so it's an easy watch.

Woah! I've randomly come across this Anime while scrolling through Netflix, trying to find something new and refreshing to watch, and I noticed the animation was different from anything I've fully seen within a series before (I'm not sure of the proper term for this type of animation) but I really like it. Our two main characters are such loveable dolls, will Oono ever talk? and little Haruo is such a sweetie pie, his mother is super adorable and funny! I cannot wait to see what's in store next. Loving the added supernatural touch as well!, it really brought back memories of the games I use to play, and when the gameboy color was out.

Damn,i take back what i said last episode. poor girl :'(
guess not talking is her gimmick? i hope it doesnt get revealed that she is a mute or something :(
i felt that she was so cute this episode too,in a childish kindaway. makes you wanna hug her and buy her sweets :)
and it was beautiful how they built their friendship throughout the episode :)
the fact that they literally were in a ghost arcade was hilarious though! and he wasnt even that much phased XD

A little better than the first episode.

First half was still annoying and Oono was still abusive that with spraying Haruo with cold water (twice). The teacher even reflected the thoughts of many a fan: "You're cute, so you are forgiven". I'm not one of those fans, though :(

Second half was better with the trip to the ghost arcade. They tried to make Oono more likable by showing her strict upbringing. It worked for me, though only up to a point: harsh background does not excuse violent behavior and it's hard for me to care for her so much unless she apologizes.

Akira is annoying! Haruo has a true heart of gold to be able to tolerate her the way he does.

Not bad, the characters are likable.
Especially those adorable scenes at the end.
When will I hear her voice though...
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Haruo's mum is another nutjob. My god.

The second half of this episode was better. The haunted, magic arcade and the interactions between Haruo and Akira were actually very nice there.
