I loved the episode, but then again it was a great arc to begin with :) That's how it goes with TWGOK, some arcs you'll love and some will bore ya. There is a developing underlying story but it's mostly arcs like this and some are better than others

No kidding, the current pacing is basically 4 manga chapters = 3 anime episodes, and this is coming from a weekly 18~ page manga which itself has a fast pace. It was boring I skipped around a bit while watching. I'm pretty sure the reason is financial, they can string out the stories so 3 episodes of the 'Kanon arc' can be released as a Bluray volume, and the same for Shiori.

This arc was better though, but just because Shiori is a lovely character, and Kana hana an even better va.

I wouldn't mean to complain too much, but the strength of the TWGOK manga is that it's quick and fun, the anime pacing was fine until they decided to make an entire episode out of the Sora game girl.

just watched the first episode.

its okay, but the main character as usual is a total douche. idk why creators always make there characters this way. he even dresses like a dou'che.

but the art is wonderful, and its fully of bad anime chicks. so ill see it through. the only thing that makes the main char. worth watching is the time he spends scheduling girls. the time in-between = ass.

so ill keep watching for reasons previously stated. it has potential.

...He dresses his school uniform :P And no, he is not a douche :P

I personally think that was the best episode yet. But yeah, pace with real girls could be faster.

corrected. he is a douche. the entire time he hasn't really properly accepting anything. he doesn't accept the girl, and doesnt treat her properly. he's just like most harem-type guys. either there too shy and never make a decision till the last episode. or there dick heads, until the last episode.

all i want is a character who handles his situation well, whilst treating the pretty girls around him right. not to mention his whole "i live in the game world" shit he keeps saying. "real world women aren't good enough" etc. etc. thats lame to me. the guys that say things like that dont get any,ever and thats why they live in the game world! not the other way around.

all and all, im just tired of anime with weak ass lead male characters. (see the drugs and alcohol request thread, heres a link. not pussies)

Actually, it is pretty realistic as to how the main guy acts. Usually, it seems like when the main character is forced to do something, they quickly adapt to it, but this character is shown to not adapt to it, but just do it to get it over with. Personally, I like him.

He gets the girls to fall in love with him so I can't see how that indicates he is treating them bad or can't handle situations... And if you're talking about Elsee... She appeared out of nowhere and because of her misunderstanding she pretty much destroyed his life by making him sign the contract (that didn't really looked like contract) and now he has to help her or he will die. Moreover she is a klutz, know nothing about real world and gives him trouble all the time. She also destroyed his family by saying she is illegitimate child of his father (which may be and probably is funny for us but if you think about it, it wasn't nice). The fact she is cute or adorable doesn't make her actions any less problematic.

And do you realize he is now in high school? So it's most probable that he became like this in age when there was no sex in his or his peers minds. And there is no sex in his mind now. And he gives results where you need them, he is intelligent and makes resonable arguments as to why he acts like he acts. He is unsociable and hates real women. Situation he is in right now is like one of the worst possible situations he can face. It's normal he won't be happy about this, it doesn't make him dickhead.

If you don't like characters like that (eg you are jelous that someone who doesn't want to or is a pussy gets all the chicks) go watch something else.

oh yeah and im basically an otaku, i dont have a job (just finished school) not in college till jan, and all i do is watch anime and play games (and other things with friends on weekends)
okay let me rephrase. he doesnt have to want pussy, that really isn't the case. I just think a little differently. when she told my mom that she was my dads illegitimate child. i would've told my mom something completely different to make sure my family stayed together i wouldn't have just let that go, he didnt really try to fix that. shit randomly springs up in your life, but how you choose to handle it makes all the difference.

and i said the only parts of the show that are really worth watching are the parts when he's scheduling girls. if he didn't then i probably wouldnt watch it. and the part about his problems being problematic..he just basically got a 'battle royale' necklace and all he has to do is finish setting up girls not kill his best friends. even in reality, that's a whole lot nicer. it's good he has some motivation to pursue REAL women.
other then his family she hasn't caused any real problems that he couldn't fix ina few minutes. i mean damn, its not about him being happy about his situation, but just persevere and relax not get angry that doesn't solve problems.

which in his case he is good at doing, that's why the show is watchable. he's not completely stupid. i guess what really irritates me about the character is 'He's un-sociable and doesn't like real world women" ive even met a few people in real life who thought like that (although they were into loli, not real women) to me, people like that generally don't think to far ahead which why his character is basically an oxymoron. anyway im not going to build to big of a wall.
i just think he's a smart asshole who i cant relate too, too much because he's un-sociable and doesn't like real women (so he says) that's it.

.... im just tired of anime with weak ass lead male characters...
.... 'He's un-sociable and doesn't like real world women".....
.... not to mention his whole "i live in the game world" shit he keeps saying. "real world women aren't good enough" etc. etc. ....
That's how that character (the whole show) has been set up. Deal with it!

...basically got a 'battle royale' necklace and all he has to do is finish setting up girls not kill his best friends.
Just setting up girls isn't possible for him, at least not doing it the normal way. So all he can do is to try handling this whole ordeal out of his own reality, whilst struggling not to get too confused by the outside-reality.
Especially that part makes it funny for me.

As for the "fact" that he hates real women, I highly doubt that. After all he gives "proper reactions" when he gets really close with one of the girls. Saying all those things is just his way of dealing with it. So I'm awaiting much from him in the future.  ::)

As for Elsie, I wouldn't say that she's unproblematic, remembering that dragon-eating-lunchbox-alien.  *shivers*

Finally I'd like to say that, if I where in his shoes and had to deal with all this crap that has started to interfere with my quiet little life I have worked so "hard" to keep running, I would also be pissed all the time

well like i said i would do, i continued on with the series.

he seems much more laid back then the first episode or 2.

last episode i watched was right as the idol cannon got lost.

good show. although its not as enjoyable as Otome Youkai Zakuro.

i hope he settles down with a girl or picks a few girlfriends by the end of the show, otherwise it'd be a waste of pimp potential.

Also, is this a failed translation or is it actually written like that?

I'm interested in the translation too, Cobol conversation seems so off lol

(Cobol .... Argh the nightmares ... around here we call it Cobrol as brol is "junk" in dutch
Never had more errors & warnings in a basic simple input/output script than in that language argh)

That sure is damn funny. Didn't really notice it while watching the ep. Imo it would be even better
if it read something like "cobol conversation for dummies".

Sure is 12yo in here.

Katsuragi Keima, is a first-class baller without equal: he gets all the girls, simply because he has to, and it doesn't faze him in the slightest.

He gets a national idol to fall completely in love with him, then fucks off and plays his games again. What a badass. And he does all this on top of maintaining 100% grades and playing games all the time. u mad?

I'm such a fanboy for this series, been following it for years, waiting for an anime. Now that it's finally here, it's been this good and successful, 2nd season is already confirmed. fuckyeahh.

Come at me haters.
