| They really had to tap into info about MMO and more game mechanics. Well...I suppose the show wants to educate its audience. In the present timeline, we got Arthur facing off against Sunraku. There's obviously a skill gap between the two and the episode didn't waste much time to show what she's capable of. Sunraku did the logical thing by running away but Arthur didn't that well. Animalia deserves some credit for courage this episode though. |
 |
Animalia was really want to go for it. |
| ffs not just late subs but also another cliffhanger. welp looks like pencilgons desire to battle psyger-0 won't be fulfilled this time with that final/(secret?) attack of animalia. |
❝Kabo-chan is ran by the MAL staff team and does not respond to individual comments made on her profile.❞ I was immensely devastated. |
| Virgin Rei: "I am so happy I can meet with Sunraku. Now we talk and maybe even hang out in future!" Chad Pencilgon: "I am so happy I can meet with Sunraku. Now I can ambush and murder all these high level players he hang out with!" Also is it just me, all was there slightly drop in animation quality? |
| Nothing much the battle was fast pacing and so on . They actually put a flavor limit in a VR game huh lol. |

Good episode! |

| Just want to put it out there that’s subs will probably be late from now on due to daylight savings ending. Honestly, I couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for the underperforming game in this episode, even though some of the issues were caused by the creators themselves. And I really appreciate the music during the Pencilgon fight. In many video game storylines, PKers are portrayed as ruthless villains, but here they're more about bad manners than being truly evil, and the music reflects that. |
 |
| Things just got crazy with Pencilgon's appearance and now even Psyger-0 is here. That animal obsessed girl is quite strong too. The backstory for them was neat. Also it's nice that they are explaining the gaming terms for non gamer viewers. |
 |
| okay, pencilgon seems to be more of a baddie than i initially thought, like her chemistry with sunraku as well. emul's cuteness just never gets old and it's still irresistible. took 6 episodes but psyger-0 has finally made it to sunraku, wonder how things will play out now. |
 |
| I'm enjoying this show so much more than I thought I would! The music at the start of the fight and before Psyger-0 logs on were great! |
| She's a attack master? That means She have a huge damage when attacking someone XD |

 It reminds me of the meta comedy in Boring Girlfriend where the cast laugh at trash anime tropes, but they also use it in the show as a "hey look aren't we zanny" kind of comedy. Guess this is going to be the format to pad in 25 episodes, long worthless infodumps in the middle of a battle and 2nd takes repeating the same events from a different POV that add absolutely nothing to the story or the characters. |
| arthur is sexy hot eh finally the love interest of sunraku is here too |
| And so the stalker girl finally saved her crush in the nick of time!!! Two possible heroines in a single episode... another harem, perhaps? if you add Animalia, she could be the 3rd one... lmao (you could add the Vorpal Bunny as a 4th if you're into it, lol) |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |

| @Embient Daylight time ended last night, you should expect all your shows one hour late for the next six months because of that. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Not like we already knew it, but still they confirmed it nonetheless, that status or equipments within this game wouldn't be a concern for our protag, as his experience from playing hundreds and hundreds of trash games have already put him in a separate league within the hierarchy of this game... so very convenient lol. I mean he should've suffered something just for the sake of it when he was fighting against level 99 Pencilgon. Anyways, I hope that girl does muster up the courage to tell Sunraku about her true identity... though I doubt she'd actually do something like that. |
 |
| Sunraku is at a low level but he can easily dodge the attack of Arthur and the other high level players. Sure now that Psyger-0 has come is getting better and better. Amalia was also nice but yeah she no chance. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Sunraku eating a burger was great XD |
 How cool was this episode! This wouldn't be an MMORPG without the PKs <3. The PKs scene was brilliant! This series, it never fails to amaze me. |
| Lots of people complaining about the pacing - gonna let you know now that it's not gonna speed up. They're already adapting 3 chapters per episode. This is just how the manga is paced. Some stuff will take multiple episodes to resolve. Also we got a valuable introduction to best girl Arthur. |
| Pencilgon is as good as the OP makes her look. What a real surprise this anime has been so far! |
| Sunraku has lured in quite the pack of players in such a short notice. From the animal lover to a clan of PKs featuring a player from a past game, both preventing him to get into the city. All seemed lost until finally Psyger-0 made her appearance and now the fight will go on... or be cut immediately, whatever works best. |

| Not a bad episode but dragged on way too long for my liking. What should have been more fun and intense lost steam towards the end because of how slow and repetitive it felt despite the action being alright and Pencilgon being decent here. |
| Im so happy this is 25 eps, already has me looking forward to more. |
| Another great episode! So happy she found him and just in time too. Emul is just too cute, I don't blame everyone for wanting one. |

| @Tenzen12 drop in quality has been going on continually. Just barely noticeable. |
| Took forever for Sunraku's love pursuer to track him down. A game you can taste the food? How the heck does this thing work? There is no controllers so it just reads your brainwaves and puts info right into your brain? |
| Thank you everyone for transcribing this episode for the 67th time in a row, one after another. It's not like the rest watched the episode before coming here. That said, a bit better episode than the last one. Still many shortcuts in animation and plenty of still shots. At least pacing was okay and shots were consistent. What we didn't need was yet another game and explanation of its rules which will never be used again. Do authors think this counts as world building? I mean sure, you can treat it like that but it's pointless and boring. Speaking of pointless, that rabbit did jack-all entire episode. They could have easily shown previous duel in parallel with this one or presented it in some other way without explaining the pointless rules. Who cares that people looted NPCs in some game you will never see or hear about again. Such a waste of time on already short episodes thanks to those little sketches after outro. Those are even more useless. So far thirsty girl is the only one with some logic and goal left in her head, even though she's lusting way too much. Also, this is giving off a really bad stench of upcoming harem twist. Every single supporting character is female and they all want something from him and are starting to fight over him. Overall it was meh. Far from the "best anime of the season" like many are saying. I did get fewer urges to fast forward this time, than on previous episode. So that's something. |
| she finally crossed paths with sunraku, and it's all thanks to that viral screenshot that other player took lol |
       |
| With the level difference I would've thought that Sanraku had no chance against both Arthur and her teammates but he was able to stand his ground at least until Psyger-0 showed up. I wonder who is stronger between Arthur and Pysger-0 but it looks like that pet loving girl will interrupt Arthur and has a trick up her sleeve so that match-up may have to wait. |
| My favourite episode thus far! Great saves! Super cute facial expressions by Emul too. :P |
| It used to be WTF is meaning, all I know is loyalty. Now it's all I know is meaning, and I'm loyal to that. |

| @Kimurah I guess I agree with the repeating event POV, but I don't find the 'infodumps' to be padding, they add substance imo |
| It used to be WTF is meaning, all I know is loyalty. Now it's all I know is meaning, and I'm loyal to that. |
| I'm not really getting the reasoning behind the fighting, seems pointless to me. Or rather it feels more like an isekai fight than a video game PvP. |
