Unlike fightning games, players control their own characters, and thus a big mixture of self insert, fancies etc are involved in there. Suffice to say, the amount and type of commitment is very different in this case, so it is the very reason why game and reality are to be defined when you deal with MMO buddies, exactly because you play some role to some extent while playing.
It isn't unheard of players being misunderstood from their behaviour that doesn't match their raid role (having a foul mouthed but competent healer doesn't strike as natural for example).

well it's depend on country and peoples like i told in previous post here in my country that sort of things are not big deal and is pretty common peoples be the same in game and real life, ofcourse we have the trolls, the peoples which want to "fool others, seduce others(I had in the past one case of that in one of my guilds, one of my raid maters had the hobbie of hit on the girls which raid with us and actually sucessfull, he used wow to bang girls even if they are from different provinces, states, as long they are in the same country he don't had problem to go to where the girls live to "have some fun", but that is how he was inside and outside game, he aways was a sucessfull womanizer, but really we never was the type of "sepparate game from reality" on that level of being one thing inside game and another outside in general ofcourse again excluding the trolls which love to play females to get favors which is something common.

Possibly may be slim, Hideki won't make a move on his teacher even in the online game world, no I'm not talking about reality.
But for Hideki wants to imagine his teacher to put "Meow" at the end of the sentences and being cute very often like online, is it possible?
Makes me wonder how did the teacher came to decide to become a little cat girl in the online game world and not something different.

In the end, it was not only the wife in the online game is an actual female as this series title states, and to think aside from him, his online game buddies are all females, including the player he confessed to.

the fact which the teacher lied to him saying which she was a "old geeze" male making he really forget her for real and the fact which she still "old"(even if she in her 20+) and his teacher creep even more him making him feel even more embarrased since now he know which he proposed to a teacher at this point he difinitly forget her and any last hope was crushed.

toward the middle of episode 3, I got this vibe of "Stab girls that knows my Husband"

And since that wouldn't work Ako "threatened" to go to an offline meeting knowing the other girls would attempt to make Hideki go after her.

feels like I seen these type of things somewhere else before... something with a bad end...

It's probably an anime about SCHOOL DAYS

(Un)Fortunately this isn't that kind of anime

Yeah, with those character designs I could do with a little of some of what School Days brought to the table. Heh heh heh...

The stabbity stab, not so much.

Benigmatica · 2016-04-27, 02:20

Episode 3:
Never knew that Nekohime's real identity wasn't even a burly guy, but rather a beautiful female high school teacher! What a twist there!

Meanwhile, glad that Ako-chan didn't murder Saitou-sensei at the end of this episode. Geez, her yandere eyes is so unsettling!

FlareKnight · 2016-04-28, 09:58

It does create solid balance with Hideki being almost too focused on the game and real life being different and Ako going right in the opposite direction. Not surprising to that point that Hideki would get very determined to make that line even bolder with what happened in the past. Harder to get hurt like that again if he constantly reminds himself that the game and life are different entities. It's perhaps not a totally good thing, but certainly less of a problem than with Ako. Don't think anyone's life could be ruined by understanding that line too well.

On the other hand...they have a long road to go with Ako. Sure, it wasn't a knife or anything but she could have done real harm smashing someone in the head with that staff. Although I'm not sure that some anger wasn't understandable. After all to avoid trouble Saito did cause Hideki a lot of emotional turmoil. Just turning him down would have been simpler and less damaging than making him think she was a guy. Although not sure how much anger was about her deceiving Hideki and how much was just because she was the person Hideki proposed to in the game

.

Stark700 · 2016-04-28, 12:04

Oh wow, I spotted a yandere-ish looking Ako from the latest episode. I mean, a bit of jealousy? The dating montage was adorable though.
They are destined for each other!

The comedy is decent but that ending is a bit awkward. I hope Ako will be okay...

blitz1/2 · 2016-04-28, 14:33

Can somebody take a screenshot when Ako says "Life is a kuso-ge.." xD I want to use that as a motivational poster or sorts.

Brother Coa · 2016-04-28, 14:50

Kuroageha · 2016-04-28, 15:04

More like noob magnet.

Sucks when that happens.

Harry Dresden · 2016-04-28, 15:09

Another great episode.

Love how accurate this is to the reality of mmo games. That discussion about lockboxes cracked me up. Very close to reality. Really well done research on author's part.

Interested on wether Ako will progress in her delusions or get better. Right now she is in bad state enough to literally assault people in real life over game(which happens in actual real life too, creepily enough, just with way more lethal consequences).

And now with the new girl in the game (who is totally the pink haired girl from class), gunning after MC, I wonder how Ako will take this.

Overall this show continues to balance nicely between incredibly funny comedy and VERY real plot and character developments.

Wandering Soul · 2016-04-28, 16:09

A new girl joins the fray. Looks like we will be seeing more of Ako's yandere side.

BWTraveller · 2016-04-28, 16:34

Akane's friend follows her and catches her going to the netgame club, and finds out about the game. She starts going home immediately while Akane goes to the club. Suddenly Rusian encounters a noob who doesn't even know how to chat. Coincidence? This makes me wonder why she clings to Rusian though. If it is her, she knows who Rusian is, and could probably guess who Ako is. So why is she clinging to a guy who keeps getting railed on for his new "girlfriend"? Is she interested in him personally? Or perhaps could she be under the mistaken impression that Rusian is Piggy's Kermit, and wants to somehow get her attention by throwing a wrench in the relationship? Or she's even dumber than that and thinks Rusian's got a legitimate harem going on and decided to join it. I hope whatever she's doing she's doing it out of a desire for friendship with the others or to get closer to Miss Piggy, not out of an actual romantic interest in Rusian. We're going to need a legitimate romantic rival at some point, I don't think I've seen a show that doesn't have that, but it feels a little soon.

SeaDoor · 2016-04-28, 19:30

I was sort of lost with this episode in that I cant figure out what the point was suppose to be. Felt more like the series just tread water here.

Marcus H. · 2016-04-28, 20:47

Not if you are an experienced gamer.

Anyway, Rusian and Ako traveled by airship to Byalan Dungeon Level 5, got shot up a whale (Moscovia), and even traveled to August Einbroch! (Actually, this is a real airship route, except for Byalan, which is accessible only by ship.)

Meanwhile, GACHAS and GUILD FUCKING DRAMA! Seriously though, those things are probably my most hated stuff in-game. Especially when a girl (a real girl) causes the collapse of an entire guild by making a love triangle with guild members. Gachas I couldn't care less, but I did experience times where I use Gachas for the cute hats up for grabs.

EDIT: Sette is Italian for seven, which is "Nana" in Japanese.

Kuroageha · 2016-04-28, 21:26

Are there RL examples of guild drama destroying famous guilds?

MeoTwister5 · 2016-04-28, 21:27

Man this is precisely the reason I'm a solo player majority of the time. I get enough drama in the hospital. I don't need it in-game.

Marcus H. · 2016-04-28, 21:33

Kuroageha: Can't give examples of my own experiences since the guilds I joined are usually fine. (One guild broke up naturally as the game enters its last days, and the other, made out of IRL friends, lost active members when they started quitting.)

I'll just post a whole "guild drama" thread from WOW's forums. The very first post is gonna be an appropriate example of how girls can ruin guilds.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/18300189810

Oh, apparently, there's also a joke that people might have missed. Nekohime was commented as "really being a hime". Apparently, the word hime is part of two gaming slang terms. Hime play happens when a player makes a female character and maximizes the cuteness factor of that character in order to get male players to help it or give it items. A hime is also used to call a female character surrounded by male characters who idolize the former.

xeviouses · 2016-04-28, 21:57

Heh, I'm so thankful I only joined one Guild and stuck to it in my Net game.

Ako seems to be getting worse, if only by her own refusal to move away from delusion, course being a gamer I can sort of understand her.

Nanako joins the fray, yay! (let's face it its pretty obvious, her and Nekohime.)
