Even Kaoru gets stuck in the mix too, as it becomes clear to the rest of us that he has feelings for Eita too. Himeko hasn’t gotten as much of a direct hit as everyone else, but her eager nature only continues to grow, with guiding lights such as Ai-chan and the internet to help her through. Thanks to Eita’s previous conversation with her last episode though, it seems she hasn’t slowed down in her own efforts–she’s beginning to form friendships with the rest of the girls while distancing herself from Masuzu.


Meanwhile Chiwa got stabbed directly in the heart with Saeko-san’s statements–even though she knew the position she was in, hearing it directly from another person hurts nonetheless. Seeing her raw adorableness unchained is highly entertaining to watch, especially with her separate reactions as tsunko and dereko. Even though Ai holds onto the idea of Michel out of stubbornness (and it’s not like anyone even believes that Michel exists at this point), Ai ( or shall we say Ai-chan) continues to crown herself as the leader thus far with her ridiculous amounts of dere. Thanks Saeko-san, your statements have created a chain reaction that’s elicited a unique reaction from every single significant character, all of which serve to look out for the well-being of Eita…and promote her newest game.ĭespite the initial shock that came from Saeko-san’s blunt question, every character is moving in a positive direction.

Pointing out all the elephants in the room and calling out Masuzu’s bullshit has accelerated the series in a more open direction–fewer awkward scenes, more struggles with facing the truth. While we have seen many meta-references to otaku culture in recent anime, it’s more uncommon for shows to directly reference their own characters in anime jargon. She used so much meta this episode that she got me completely hyped for the next few episodes. “The Excitement The Night Before a Trip Is A Battlefield”ĭid I tell you how much I love Saeko-san as a character? I’ll tell you again anyway: I love her awesomeness as a game developer.
