| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ooh, I kinda like how they are focusing on Sakurai. Feels like he is more conscious about Moriko's presence now ever since they had their talk. Moriko is also more confident of herself so that's a pleasant sight to see. Oh and this show still makes Koiwai a relevant character even though I'm not a fan of him. What a personality and game avatar lul |

| Good focus on Sakurai this episode... for some reason I like Koiwai! Idk why. I think feel like him and Moriko look cuter together 😖... It's not the main ship but i really like them together :) also Koiwai game character!!!!! Omg |

| This episode was pretty funny (Especially when Kowai showed his character lol) I like that this episode focused on Sakurai most of all but it's becoming hard to see this guy suffer like this :( |
| Finally we got Sakurai's point of view about his relationship with Hayashi in game. He is a such a whale lol, how many outfits did he even buy. It is true that female characters usually have more and better choice compared to males though. Koiwai's character is one of those monsters you sometime see around in games.. We got confirmation that Sakurai and Moriko knew each other from another game too; come on step aside Koiwai. |
| This is getting ridiculously complicated with every episode, and every new character they create :D Also who the hell is "Nico" ? or what was name of that blonde chick. Also this was 7 episode of 10 total, which means 3 episodes left, damn, i need more. |
 |
| Honestly Harumi is certainly a powerful character with all that muscle. And the certainly had the attention of the other players seeing how they reacted, it was funny to watch. |
| Looks like she's going to find out it's really him pretty soon. I liked the episode and how complex things are getting lmao. They need to cover up a lie with another lie. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| A nice episode focusing on Sakurai. He met Moriko in another game. The reason he plays MMOs is so he could be someone else. Koiwai's character in the game is so funny. The personality is also different. Kanbe figured out that Koiwai and Harumi are the same person. |
 |
| As expected, they knew eachother from another game. I really don't see how this developement was neccessary at all... They should've just kept the story the way it is and not complicate things even further with 3-4 eps left |
| Haha. New characters but the same people... this misunderstanding is gonna be solved very soon now. I hope they figure it out quickly. |
 |
| Morikos new avatar design is pretty nice,but Koiwais on the other hand... xD Just hope that Sakurai will be released from his pain soon, aaaah the anticipation for the enlightment is killing me,but I'm also still kinda worried about Koiwais influence. |

| this sure is getting awesome...thry both have new personas... 3 episodes to go |
 |
| 4/5- Lots of focus on Sakurai and it was great. This was a pretty fun and hilarious episode. The preview for next week is very promising! Sakurai and Morioka are hanging out again, I wonder how that happened. I'm glad to see this series goes back to the MMO after 2 episodes of little to no gaming. It was fun to see everyone interact with each other and listening to Sakurai's inner thoughts was good. I laughed pretty hard to see Koiwai's character creation because I can relate to that. I create the most ugliest characters I possibly can in any game so it was awesome to see someone doing that same thing as well. |
 |
| Sakurai keeping his thoughts to himself, kowai joins the game and morimori makes a new character but sakurai knows that too. |
 |
| This is all getting a bit much. Sakurai's being a chicken, Kowai's started playing, Nico is a character we're supposed to know or something, 2 new alt characters and Kanbe is in the know of half of this stuff. Things haven't been as great since Morioka cut her hair. |
 |
| I guess that convenience store guy can immediately tell who's who irl, huh? What are you? Some kind of wizard? Lmao. This episode pretty much focuses on Sakurai like trying to stop his feelings for Moriko. Lol. Koiwai-san decided to play the MMO game, Moriko's been playing, so Moriko had no choice but to create a female character. I'm dyiiing at Koiwai-san making his character looking like an Amazon. Hahaha. His character immediately reminded me of Amazoness from Arakawa Under the Bridge. Hahaha.  After Sakurai found out about Koiwai playing the MMO game, too, he decided to create a male character (I guess) which looks like his character back then. Idk if it's a good move or a bad move for Moriko for making her character looking like her old MMO character back then in a different game. Lol. I guess it's good? Haha. And are you telling me that Moriko and Sakurai are like Hayashi and Lily back then, but in a different game, show? Lmao. This was an okay episode. Probably, my least liked episode, still liked it. 4/5. |

| great ep, it was nice to see Koiwai playing that game even though i thought he was the silver haired character from the start, sad to see only 3 episodes left, i hope the anime doesn't fuck up somehow. |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| It has been decided: Koiwai's player character is my new waifu. |
 |
| I can already see where this is going... It's clear Sakurai is going to make the same male character in the previous game in hopes that Mori stops being a ditz and picks up on things. I was really hoping at the start that this show would avoid cliche' pitfalls but I guess I was being too optimistic from the first 3 episodes... I genuinely thought the episodes were getting better and better but of course we can't have a simple romance between 2 people found online, we have to bring in a fucking triangle in both real life and the game for them drama bucks... Since this isn't a masterful romance we're probably going to languish in this "meh" atmosphere until the end of episode 10 with the reveal, with hints being dropped but Mori suddenly acting like a preteen girl who is ""SO EMBARASSED"" all the time. By the time we get to the end we won't be able to enjoy the coupling of Mori and Sakurai because this short show will be over in a flash... Probably dropping for now and will binge when it is over, I can't take this type of plot from week to week anymore. It's one of the reasons I was first attracted to the show's older characters... I thought we'd be above this "I-I have to leave Mori-chan alone so Koiwai can be happy!" nonsense from Sakurai, and Mori acting like a conflicted teen when she is a 30 year old woman. |

Amburu-Hime said: Very unrealistic that he would "recognize" a character from another game like this I understand it was necessary for Plot Reasons but really... I couldn't get over it It's not only because of the look; but also because of what she said about her work. Sakurai now knows more about her past at the company and simply linked those things together. |
| Damn, good episode. I can't wait for next week. |
 |
| Lol kinda reminds me of the special PK accounts I made for Oldskool Runescape |
| Lily/Sakurai monologue in the beginning was really damn good, he has problems himself, probably low self-confidence and thinks about other people more than himself (or his happiness). I can see myself in this man. They did play in another MMO together in the past and had a really strong relationship (she was telling her problems straight up unlike in the new MMO). I feel bad for Sakurai, he's just so unsure about what to do :/ That said, i believe he's creating a similar character same as Morioka-san just to get the confirmation. He doesn't believe it himself but he wants to dream that this is true. That was very well done. |
| Pretty decent episode. We know have Kowai thrown in the mix, trying to join Moriko and her friends in the MMO they play. Was pretty relatable seeing Moriko make a new character just so no one would know it's her. Seems like Sakurai is gonna do the same. It should be pretty interesting to see how it plays out. |
 |
| NICO IS SO CUTE LILY IS SO CUTE Sakurai become stalker x3 lol as sakurai as lily and as this new-character-that-looks-like-shaoran dude |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Yeah, I'm not much of a fan anymore. I still love Morimori-chan (and Koiwai as well), but I'm really beginning to dislike Sakurai. He's being such a pussy and just a next-level stalker to the max. It's honestly kind of hard to root for his character at this point. He definitely needs some redeeming developments or events to come up, and end this stalker charade. |
 |
| So it's been confirmed that Moriko and Sakurai knew each in another game. I can't wait when everything is revealed to them. Koiwai's game character lol. |

| Fujimoto aka Kanbe is very sharp. lol Sakurai, build up your confidence. 3 episodes left to wrap up this story. I can't wait. |
 |
| Wow. Koiwai's so alpha that he doesn't mind having a pink phone? |
 |
| Nice to get some alone time with Sakurai. I can see where he's coming from, but I wish he'd be a little more assertive. Things are going to get pretty silly with the three of them playing together. I feel like Kanbe is going to put the pieces together since he already suspects the newbie being Koiwai. He may even play a role in the big reveal. |
| There's a whole lotta coincidences in this episode. I don't know how much I really get that. My very personal view would be that I don't like it when, "just by coincidence" everyone already knows about each other ( not to mention the massive revelation about Sakurai...) |
| for some reason, i got a feeling that Nico and Hayashi/Moriko know each other on real life, the way Nico complaint to Kanbe about some1 on her office quit and want to focus on MMO |
| I screamed when the ending showed up. F**k me! can't wait another week ! I love this series with my soul, I really do Anyway, Morioka doesn't know that Sakurai plays the game, she will probably find out that he is Lily. I don't reall know what is going to happen but this week is going to be torture of waiting |
| I like how the title of the anime now has a broad spectrum to it. Like we knew Morioka had an MMO problem and she became a NEET as well. Now we are seeing just how important MMO's are in Sakurai's life as well. Also add in the fact that Koiwai is starting to play and Kanbe is a player as well and the development is fantastic. As for the episode...I want to punch Sakurai in the face...mainly just to knock some fucking sense into him. COME ON BRO MAN UP!!!! but I can also see where he is coming from that he wants to keep his online persona as well. Holy lord that Koiwai avatar though. The big question is what did Kanbe ask Molly when Koiwai went afk??? HMMMMM I really want them all to meet in real life as well. Just everyone meet at the convenience store and eat some chicken lol. |

| Feels like someones gonna slip up and say something. Been wondering about the 'dark' parts in the opening for a while and a couple scenes I think we've gotten from a few early episodes but it looks like we might get more about what happen with her before all this based on the preview and how the episode mentions her wanting to quit her job as she's obviously the girl from the other game Sakurai was playing with. |

| Oh my god Sakurai and Moriko played the last mmo game together too!!?? lmaooo |

| What I liked so far about the episode was having a few monologues from Sakurai and Lily, it was a very tender detail and something I had been waiting for since he began to have more focus. I like Moriko as a character although her somewhat immature behavior about some situations still annoy me, and although she remains charming even with that, I really wanted to know a little more about Sakurai and how she feels about Moriko and about everything that concerns the MMO, or why it uses a female avatar, although I still don't understand very well this one but it's something that really doesn't matter that much. Speaking of Koiwai then, it seems that it will be introduced more to the plot of the MMO and meet more characters in that way, which could be very good for Sakurai because it could take him off in one way or another, so I have faith. Another character appeared that we really don't need instead of using the ones we already have, but hey, animes always do that, so I don't have many problems with it. What was a problem for real was that now it turns out that Moriko and Sakurai already met in another game, which I find too convenient and a very ridiculous resource in many aspects. I really would have liked Sakurai to brace himself and speak directly to Moriko, even if he fails, instead of a past event coming suddenly and fixing everything. I know I should not wait very much from this anime but it really doesn't stop being something very annoying, I wish the writer had been more creative to make way for the conflict of why Moriko became NEET, but oh well. Finally, Koiwai has bad taste in avatars, I'm glad Sakurai had a good one lol. |
 |
| Since the beginning I always wondered what was the motivation from Sakurai to play as a girl.. is he bi? is he ashamed of playing a support role as a guy? is it just for the lolz? but after his/her monologue in this episode, I am starting to understand his motivations. It´s common to see people trying to play as their opposite gender just for curiosity, and it´s also common to develop a different persona in-game, I'm thinking he just got too invested. Correct me if I'm wrong, but had we seen that Nico character before? did they just casually slice her in? lol i see what Koiwai is doing there, getting close to Moriko to get her to open more, but also to create more opportunities for sakurai. Gotta say Koiwai is best Bro, and Harumi....best girl??? Finally, the series only has 3 more ep to finish delevop its plot and gives us a satisfactory ending, I just hope they don't fuck it up cause until now it has been a fun an chill ride. |
