I'm so confused why the score for this show is so low on Crunchyroll. This was a solid first episode imo. Nice references to some classic arcade games and even a Dropkick On My Devil Reference. House of The Dead part was very well done. Voice acting was really good too, especially the main female lead. Didn't sound too much like Engrish, which is to be expected from a VA that has done English Dub roles too. Aside from the voice acting, I love the look of this show. Very bright, a lot of softer colors used.

I think it might be due to the problematic age gap. I don't know about the anime but from what I gather in the manga she's 13 and he's 18.

Wow, I kinda feel dumb. Whole time I thought he might've been at most 15 and that maybe this was his part time after school gig or something. I thought she was a closer to his age than that. Welp!

Her mom even says something like "is this a puberty thing?" when she saw Lilly playing with the toy. Gross.

No it's not what you think it is. It's a weirdly translated line. The word the mom said is 反抗期 which refers to rebellious phase of teenagers. Given that the Koala has an angry phase, the mom must have thought that Lily must be in the edgy rebellious phase if she's taken a liking to a toy with an angry face.
