Lol Izumi turning her charms on. First half felt like a snoozefest

I liked the second half of the episode much better with the action as it exposes more of Itsuki's weakness and potential. Thought the soundtrack improved as well. Izumi in the PSO2 world also has a bit of badass feeling to it. Meh cliffhanger.

Itsuki is terrible at tailing someone.
But it was interesting to see him fail at it so horribly especially considering his target is used to tailing someone.

Also that transformation looked nice makes me wonder what else he can do in that form.

Itsuki is bad at tailing people.

Izumi is so cute when getting jealous.

The second half was quite intense. Itsuki's transformation was nice!

The popularity of Itsuki begins to rise significantly, Rina was very jealous in this episode, Aika from the beginning has enough interest in him and now until the loli is interested?

I liked the action in this episode, Aika showing how strong is and Itsuki finally showing its true power, very good scene in which he transformed, I look forward to see how he will act from now on, this anime is surprising me positively ..

If you are going to follow someone, be discrete and don't be too close to them as well.

I liked the OST used for the Suzuki vs Dragon battle, probably the best OST in the show thus far. Itsuki goes all blue haired, his gear reminded me a bit of Subzero from Mortal Kombat.

Agree on Rina, she was so SO SO SO jealous this episode. I certainly disliked her this episode, the expressions she gave Itsuki were just saying, I'm jealous.

Props to Silver-chan, she got her moment of spotlight even if it was brief. She emptied Itsuki's wallet lol

Last minutes of the episode, things went so good. Finally stuff is going down, Itsuki in real life goes into his PSO2 gear, wait until Rina learns about that.

Same as what everyone else has been saying, Itsuki sucks at tailing people xD

Finally the 'awakening' is here~

Izumi is such a qt when she's jealous xD y'know, except for when she was too jealous

Oh and props to the animation studio for making Fomelgion look so epic

Last half was great. However, they love ripping the sound effects from Ufotable's UBW, plus that Over End was clearly Saber's excalibur attack except colored blue. Shirou's projection magic near the end. The whole guardian thing is like counter guardians, who are summoned to any place with chaos.

Over End is an actual skill in the game.

It's also slow as hell, so I'm not sure if anyone actually uses it on a regular basis.

He really sucks. If you're tailing someone, you shouldn't be following them that closely, nor should you be making that much noise.

I think you misunderstand. How they animated Over End is almost a blatant rip off of Saber's Attack in ANIMATION, not the game. I'm referring to these 2 videos (Warning Spoilers for Fate Zero/Unlimited Blade Works). Much more similar to Fate Zero's version, but the same thing applies. You don't get a spirit bomb charging thing when you play the game do you? I'm pretty sure you don't *sarcasm*. And it doesn't fire in a straight line, it's multiple slices in the game.

Even though they called it overend in the episode, it was pretty much the katana PA kazan-nadeshiko when crafted.

Ok, guess that justifies it a tad bit. Still very similar in execution and Fate was first.

Suzuki cool fight, double beam was awesome but accuracy sucked. Might be a game balance thing.
Itsuki random levelup during fight? Plot? Or is it those temp powerup with a time meter? Anyhow the fire engulfing, revealing new form, counter with excalibur was fun.
He's been gaining popularity like pres. 2 dates in a day. Now his rl also transformed to blue hair form.

Episode interesting enough, I found Itsuki less irritating than usual, perhaps because of the script that has not exposed much to embarrassing situations. Narratively seen increased participation of the secondary characters in the game is that in real life, I appreciated. On a graphic level there was a quality disecreto and consistent, catchy and beautiful soundtrack.



Now that you have appointed, a certain analogy with the Saber attack in the anime Fate, there is.

Itsuki has much to learn, if he wants to stalk a pro stalker.

How she appeared out of his handheld was interesting. That kind of explains her superior stalking skills.

And Rina used her WMCs ( weapons of mass cuteness ) to convince everyone.
