Hachiman + Keima. What a mix.

Good episode lmao. There were dumb moments, relatable ones, and funny ones. Going to see this to the end.

NGNL when:

Sora and shiro: hold my mouse

Also Light Yagami, my dude be grinding:

looks like trash, honestly. fumiya is annoying. aoi is kinda okay. i also didnt like the end message, but oh well. the guy in the beginning is a prick for no reason. i dont feel any sympathy for fumiya if that was intended. ill just keep watching out of curiosity

  the constant game jargon they used is so annoying
saintrotation 5y
looks really good, at least we know that the main character is going to develop.
nozetsu 5y
One of the worst I've seen in years. Unlikable characters, thrashy message. Not going to bother with it anymore.
- Thusidie 5y
  Sounds like a fair judgement lmao. I'm gonna given next week's a go but I might be joining you
- Mannoumi 5y
  Can you really say that something has unlikable characters after only one episode? Isn't the whole point of a first episode to present how flawed the characters are so that you can watch how they can develop throughout the story?
  Jokeater 5y
  thats quite spot on, but jaku-chara not only presents the flaws of fumiya, but it wants you to sympathize with his flawed arguements and really see where hes coming from (what with the dramatic lighting and all, and all the depressing shots and the (lack of) emotion in his voice. also phrases like ' im moved' and stuff) and thats where i think it loses some of its redeeming quality.
  nozetsu 5y
  I would have to care about them in the first place to want to watch their growth. Usually characters have some redeeming qualities, I don't see any here.
  Most of the time I give anime 3 episodes before deciding to drop, but I absolutely hated this one.
  Rihuwamidori 5y
  Then dont bother with subsequent episodes. Its way not possible to animate the stuufs actually happened between Tomozaki and Aoi, the first ep isnt the best but soon the anime will bloom thats if, the anime follows the Light Novel

I loved it!
The way it relationed life with games was very fun of watching and I feel I'm gonna learn a few things from that.

Otaku rehab - the anime

I enjoyed the first episode, my only worry is that the author will start some unnecessary drama/harem bs that doesn't need to exist.

I joked about this being "Incel The Anime" once but after watching the first episode, it seems pretty legit. I have a feeling it might be one of my favs this season

Dropped after aoi and the main guy met. She became unlikable real fast. She did have a point about how he gives up and didn't even bother to dress up though but still.
Shironii 5y
So far I don’t like Aoi especially when she was coming at him for what he was wearing, literally judged the heck out of him. But I still wanna give it a chance maybe she’ll be better
Sky1 5y
good for a fist episode
ZenryTheBard 5y
Pretty good adaptation, not to fast and pretty faithful from what I remembered. Hexactly what I wanted, so I'll see this through the end. Fumiya and Aoi sound pretty good, but I didn't expect the class king Shuuji to have Bakugou's va.

Garbage/10

Pathetic & shallow MC. Considers himself a "loser" due to not fitting in.. as if people who don't care about status and appearance are gonna judge themselves by their status and appearance..

"My hair is such a mess! I'm such a loser, I feel horrible! If only I cared enough to wash my hair!"

You see the retarded contradiction here?

And that female main.. Need I even say anything about her? I'm guessing she starts to like him in the end and becomes less quick to judge people based on appearances. And then, for the finale, MC steals the girl from the guy whose personality amounts to 'angry & popular'.. oh and he's blonde too, so it's like he's winning against the gaijin!

And, of course, they had to add that this bitch has a "traditional Japanese" appearance..

What a pathetic, shallow, nationalistic piece of shit of an anime. All the socially retarded Japanese teenage guys are just gonna become even more xenophobic, and the gaijin are gonna think "hmm, why do 50%+ of anime now have a pathetic MC? Who would such a pathetic person be relatable to? Oh, I know! Isn't all anime intended exclusively for the Japanese audience? That's who it's meant to be relatable for!"
- Rasheedgames 5y
  you're going in WAYYY too hard on this show. I understand your point about the contradictory nature of the main character but then you went into this weird "Japanese social commentary" rant and then called the show nationalistic of all things??
  Ardenos 5y
  It had to be said. No one else is gonna do it.
  
  People who aren't familiar enough with anime trends and Japanese culture are gonna end up missing the subtle things.
  
  This is a growing trend and it shouldn't be encouraged. The xenophobia in Japan is already possibly the highest in the world.
Jedel 5y
Too cringey for my poor health lmao
Rasheedgames 5y
I think the foundations of the show are strong enough to have the POTENTIAL to be a decent show. I just fear that the very apparent flaws such as the somewhat unlikeable characters and the overuse of "gamer terms" comes to the detriment of the show. I'll be sticking around for the next episode to see how it unfolds.
Jitzau 5y
Im not going to comment on the episode itself since I haven't watched it and it seems from the comments below that its actually not related to the thing I'm about to say.

Looking at your life in a game sense is actually helpful to those who lose themselves in escapism, make them escape into the real world, helps them actually care, though from the comments it seems like thats not how this is applied.
Rein2 5y
I thought Aoi was being too harsh berating Fumiya's appearance until they zoomed in on his pants/sneakers. Then I lost it and laughed pretty hard.

I like the chemistry between the main characters, I like that a Fumiya is actively seeking to change, and I like that Aoi seems to approach her teaching him with a firm but still jovial attitude.
- Rihuwamidori 5y
  In the Light Novel she is way harsher l, in anime adaptation they mellowed her character guite a bit..
Er94 5y
This shit is annoying, i already hate the main point of the show that is: "Be superfulous, change who you are in order to be what the others want you to be. Also extrovertion is right, introvertion is wrong", dropped.
Allanon 5y
I didn't really like it. Like other people already said the message is not so positive imo

Just fake who you are in order for society to accept you

Well, nice message. MC is full of contraddictions and the girl is annoying. I can already immagine the ending.

Dropped.

Is it weird for me to use these discussion posts years after the season finished? Probably-

Overall, I enjoyed this first episode!! I watched it in dub, and oh lawd this show can be cringey af- but I do feel like that should be expected in a way, and that it's also intentional! I mean, this show is about an antisocial gamer who has no idea how to socialize, of course he's gonna sound strange and cringey!! I also liked the clash of ideals between our two main leads and am a fan of where the story seems to be heading!! Solid 7/10 episode :)
