EPISODE REVIEWS

The biggest lie in this anime is that YouTubers are actually nice when you meet them in person. The video game references are still good, but the jokes are older than dirt; you can see the punchline coming a mile away. To be completely honest, I liked this episode more than the last, and that's because the whole indie developer theme is really interesting, and as a developer myself, I can tell you that what happens to the protagonist is very common and relatable. But on the other hand, the romantic comedy is way overdone. It couldn't be more cliché and predictable; the interactions are very basic and uninteresting. I'd definitely prefer those scenes weren't there.

In this episode, we get to see the warm interaction between Sam and her friends. Furthermore, the interaction between Sam and Marshall is quite adorable in this episode. It's good to see there's progress in their relationship. Then, this episode concludes with a scene that makes the next episode highly anticipated.

Er... while I do like the direction of the episode, I'm starting to get tired of Sam's tendencies to avoid things T_T I mean, yeah, I get it; confrantation is such a scary thing, but girl, you literally said you'd handle it three or four times already. At this point, it's just stressing me out. Valid crashout when I do, I swear. That aside, these 'fans' are...I don't know, lowkey crazy. I'd say disgusting, but maybe that's going too far. Point is, it's irky AF. I can take Sam's totally understandable indecisiveness, but Marshall's fans are a different breed I know I'd hate in this series with a passion. Solely because they're annoyingly possessive and entitled. Maybe Marshall, too, by extension for now because he's too insensitive. Anyway, I don't think this ep adds much in the entirety, except for the parts where Sam's trying to figure out how to save her developer account and career.
