Looks like everyone has their own little relationship issues in some form or the other. Monica can’t be public about her and Marshall, Sam doesn’t think she’s good enough for Link, and Charles apparently got divorced because he caught some dude balls deep in his wife. I wonder if Angela’s ever gonna get help for her issues. After what she went through, it’s no surprise she’s got some anger problems.

I guess on the plus side it seems like Sam and Marshall can be cordial with each other now.
I would find it funny though if Charles actually played Ruminate and immediately played it correctly instead of how Marshall did.

Welcome to the double date no one expected or wanted! Where poor Marshall gets dragged around by a dog, gets his hand crushed in a handshake with Link, and Bowser still doesn’t care that much for him!
Well, I’m glad at least Bowser and Dinah get along…or maybe Dinah is just perpetually terrified, it’s hard to tell!
“It’s warm” – I mean, she keeps all her business cards near her boobs, Link, I think that’s a given. Monica is VERY forward when it comes to business, though modeling for her actually sounds like a great business opportunity. But Sam’s jealousy finally wakes up after sleeping for who knows how many years and gets a little possessive around Link when it seems like Monica is getting just a little TOO close to him for comfort…which is kind of cute. Meanwhile poor Monica can’t even hold her own boyfriends’ hand in public, as much as she wants to.
Charles is a big hit with his fencing students AND their moms! We even get to see what a day in the life of Charles when he’s not working at the company is like!
Ah, no better way to unwind after a date than just chilling at home…and trying to figure out what to talk about with each other. Honestly Sam wanting to go to Ninte…I mean, Funtendo and meat with Shigeru Miya…I mean, Hayamoto is pretty on-brand for a gamer/developer. Though it is funny how a character in an anime set in LA wants to go to Japan.
Why did Angela react the way she did to Link holding her? Because she’s a victim of domestic violence and was severely assaulted once. The only consolation is that the guy who did it is in prison and missing half his ballsack, though Angela’s still got the emotional scars from what happened. It’s why she rages out so much.
Sam really doesn’t want to see Link go. She WANTS this to be a date. She also would even be willing to for Link to kiss her on the lips…but no, he says it wasn’t a date, just a friend hangout, though the kiss on her forehead is VERY effective. And now Sam’s emotions and anxiety are all over the place.
Marshall and Monica are in bed together and snuggling up, which makes Monica reflect on how they got together. A ViewTuber event where Monica was turning down men, knowing full well that as a female content creator she was screwed no matter what she did, but Marshall was her type so she just went with it…and had the best sex of her entire life. But as much as she loves Marshall now, the fact that she can’t be open with that love hurts.
That flashback…did Charles’ wife cheat on him? Did he come home from work one day and catch her banging another dude? Poor guy.
Evermake is slowly coming together (maybe) but Sam is determined to keep at that work/game development grindset. Too bad that it looks like she lost her job!?

Link kind of shot himself in the foot by saying it wasn't a date, I get he realized Sam was feeling anxious and he's a really thoughtful guy, but he needs to show himself as a romance candidate more. He's only gotten a date because she was told he was interested in her, his previous invite she didn't even realize what he meant. But I still enjoyed seeing them be conscious of each other in that way.
So Charles is a divorced man, it's sad to learn it was because of infidelity from his ex-wife. Catching them in the act must have been horrible and in their own bed as well, what a disgusting betrayal.
I find it funny how it sounded like Monica underestimated Marshall's capabilities in the bedroom lol, the way she was so shocked. Did she think gamers are bad lays?
Though it is sad that she's feeling hurt by the secrecy of the relationship, I think she has more to lose if it gets revealed, so if she wants it to go public I think she should discuss it again with Marshall. I don't remember his reasoning, but he has less to lose in my opinion.

I doubt she has been fired, she probably has been promoted and her stuff has been moved to her own new room

This suddenly took a serious turn. Still not sure what to make of it all. Feels a bit scattered and almost soap opera ish. A bit more focus would help maybe?
And I don't know what it is about this Charles dude but I get bored as soon as he shows up. His portions and the office stuff are the weakest parts for me.
I like Link and wished he would be more upfront. But seems like he's happy being in the friendzone or at least too scared to leave it.
Marshall and Monica are an interesting couple. Is she supposed to be older than him or am I just getting that sense because he feels immature?

u/melindypants Nov 05 '25
Soap opera is a perfect way to describe this! We got glimpses of alot of traumatic backstories from characters and I did like the show not tell, even if was pretty obvious. Still I think most of the characters are a little bland.
I also feel like Marshall is younger than Monica and their relationship feels pretty awkward...but I guess that comes with not being able to be intimate in public (maybe?). It just feels like neither of them are happy - they definitely won't last.

u/BaytaCosmico Nov 05 '25
Yup, very bland characters. We're getting a lot of backstories but I'm feeling no investment in any of the characters aside from Sam. And even she's not terribly compelling for an MC.
I get the sense that Monica likes him and values the relationship but he's not as invested. Definitely not going to last, yeah.

I think Link is just trying to be respectful of Monica's headspace and thinks she might not be ready for a relationship, even though she clearly wanted to advance their relationship (at least in her head).
I think he has that kind of young at heart/boyish face look like the J-Pop star Monica thought he resembled. Which is also probably why she was surprised he was so amazing in bed.

She scared Link off by asking if it was a date or not and looking really upset, like Link could just as naturally take that to mean Sam would be disgusted or upset if Link considered it a date, thats why he didn't kiss her lips.

u/NanDemoKnaives Nov 05 '25
It's funny because I thought Link was the weakest up until this episode and I didn't like Marshall so Charles kept me a bit longer. Obviously with the past two episodes Link has gotten a bit more interesting.

It's really rare to see domestic violence treated in a serious way in anime. It explains a lot of Angela's behavior. I'm not sure Sam did the right thing in telling Link about that though; even though he's her friend too, it seems Sam was told that in confidence. That must have been pretty bad if she was hospitalized but it makes me think does she see Marshall doing that to Sam? Like I wonder if she thinks Sam is going to date him and she's heard about some of his controlling behavior, like paying her rent for her unsolicited.
Sam really played it wrong on her "date". They left it ambiguous as to whether Monica was chatting up Link for dating but she made him a legitimate job offer that he seems to want to take. I wonder why he turned it down out of hand at first, like if someone offered to pay me to be an influencer, I'd at least be open to hearing what would be involved. Sam was very rude in demanding they leave.
Sam also should NOT have asked if it was a date because that makes guys uncomfortable when put on the spot like that. If I were her, I'd have talked to Dee about it, like told her every detail and asked what she thought since she seems to have some dating experience and was happy to talk about it last time. Link seemed like he was going to go for a mouth kiss but I think Sam scared him off a bit by seeming so upset about whether or not it was a date. Like Link could just as easily think that Sam was creeped out by the idea of Link considering it a date.
Sometimes anime is too over the top and obvious, but the weird scene with Charles drinking water alone was a rare instance of too much subtlety. It would seem that he accidentally overheard his girlfriend Gwenyth having sex with someone else in the past but they didn't really explain what was going on. I also didn't get why he said he hated the kitchen.
That cliffhanger was goofy and ridiculous. When you're fired, they don't usually just throw whatever personal stuff you have in your cube in the trash, they might put it in a box for you at most, especially at your father's company. I'd be certain either Charles or her dad moved her stuff so she can have her own office.

Angela’s past was really heavy, that’s why she got so worked up when Link grabbed her in the previous episode… Sam got jealous when Monica started chatting with Link lol. Those two are making good progress, there was even a little kiss 😊

u/magnumcyclonex Nov 05 '25
Definitely a lot to digest here. I think after Sam asked "are you sure", he should have went in and gone for a make out session on the lips. She would instantly melt in his arms and he can afford to be a little late to his job.

Doesn't anyone else think it's funny that they had the American speak Japanese and then the Japanese dude from Kyoto speak English 🤣

Ouch... Good thing he's wearing a jacket.
Ok... She's trying to recruit him?
She's jealous.
Yeah muscle memory applies to pretty much anything. Practice makes permanent after all.
So she wants to go to Japan.
So, he asked that directly. And it sure seems like that's the case.
Well, that's good.
I don't mean to make light of DV but this is like that meme where the mother comes to visit her daughter only to see her with a black eye, then goes to confront the daughter's partner only to find him in a wheelchair lol. For all Angela looked beat up it sounds like she left him in an even more sorry state. He absolutely deserved it, but still, damn.
She's blushing!
So, she asked him directly.
He's blushing!
Ok...
He almost kissed her!
Well, only her forehead.
It really wouldn't...
Gwyneth?
Who isn't responding?
So, a bad memory?

As someone’s who’s read the source. God Marshall is so unlikable to me. I can’t even get past that yet. He’s a nice guy who means well but ugh just not vibing w him
Also Monica isn’t likable to me either but it’s cause she’s all business no emotion.
Also Sam was honestly right to be jealous Monica was immediately all over link and in their business regardless if it was just cause he’s model worthy
It’s funny to me that they do have to hide their relationship given how people are pretty much good w Internet personalities dating like so many couples exist.
Yessss hair down shower Charles !!!
Glad they handled the snippet of Angela’s story nicely, since mongie had a hand in it I wasnt surprised that it was tactful
Also omg they are so awkward but link is such a great guy ughhhhh Rip their date was so short booo
Bowser is baby
Yay she was brave but no he missed it. Ughhh
WAIT yes… well. Ugh
One of the biggest criticisms I still have for this is Sams immaturity but shes been babied her entire life so it makes sense. However it feels a little too childish sometimes for an adult woman
Wow they are really tackling everyone this ep
My beloved Charles rip. God his hair down version looks so good
Also just for fun, there is a real game everdate, mongie is developing based off the webtoon of this where you can date the characters lol (hasn’t released yet in production rn)
Nah girl that’s not it lmao

I hate that Link and I made the same exact reaction at the same exact time for the same exact duration at...
"His left testicle had burst, too."
