| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Sasami-san's blog as "previously aired part" is nice, with explaining that it's related to the God. Oh, so Sasami-san's brother is a teacher, too, thought he was another student. Wow @ some kind of God getting souls of the players of online game? And Sasami-san's the key. lol @ the ED (she's not singing at all). |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| All those expressions of Sasami, especially when the others were getting their keyboards dirty. |
 |
| SHAFT The randomness and power continues |
 |
| Better than episode 1 but still not feeling it here... I guess underwhelming is the best word to describe it. |
 |
| is was extremly bored while watching this, 2/5 |
| So her brother is basically a male Haruhi Suzumiya? |
 |
| Just like ep 1, I have no idea what I just watched >_> |
 |
| not exactly sure where the plot's heading but i'm having fun with it |
 |
| So Sasami's brother, who still refuses to show his face and probably never will, has the power to make any of his desires come true? Pretty meh episode, the best bit was the dirty talking online bit, made me chuckle somewhat. Shaft continues with the randomness, but this show better pick up the pace. First episode was better. |
 |
| To be honest, I'm not sure what to think of this show. While I really enjoyed the first episode, I would have hoped it to be more a teaser/in medias res plot device than a formula for future episodes. This episode in particular was kind of quirky and off-kilter in its own manner, as we seem to switch focus from the characters to some random plot. And while the first episode's plot was strong in establishing the world's ethos and the brother's siscon complex, this plot barely does anything except pander to otaku/gamers. I do have an affinity for the art style though, and it continues to be as breath-taking as it was in the previous episode. Gave E01 an (8/10) in hopes that future episodes will flesh out the details and cast. Seems like that isn't the case here, and am gonna have to give this one a (5/10) - a big fat "meh". |

| This episode felt kind of.. anti-climatic. Darkjolly said: First episode was better. |
| Makes a bit more sense now... the involvement of the gods... that is why the alteration happens... Although, this anime is perfect to watch when you want to fall asleep. Just like the other people said, it is boring... I guess the art is to blame to since it uses such lazy colors. |

| Not as great as episode 1, but still good. Main point it seems like was to kind of explain everything as most of us were going like DAFUQ the first episode. Still had lots of lolz especially with dat cyber rape. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| What the actual fuck. |
thenube74 said: not exactly sure where the plot's heading but i'm having fun with it im not even sure there is a plot. its waay too episodic . |
| Really no one thought about the matrix while watching this?! am i the only one? it even had the 0s at the end lol |
 |
| if anyone noticed the Madoka reference here (not the Kyuubey figure), im proud of you :3 |
| That was interesting, the virtual world reminded me of SAO. I thought it was funny when Sasami tried to prevent them from using her computers and stuff. Generally though, it's really random, but I don't mind that much. 5/5. |
 |
| Such a random show with little cohearance.. but I'm enjoying it... mostly. |
  |
| And a second part of the Shinto cycle is introduced with Orochi appearing. Sasami's blog entry at the beginning gives a great description of how polytheistic immanence (a characteristic of Shintoism and some other Pagan faiths) works. So is Sasami truly Amaterasu, and this series a retelling of how she is lured back to light the world, or is she simply a hikikomori with severe panic attacks whenever she leaves her house? Or is it both? My guess is that understanding the series may involve some folks doing a little research on Shinto beliefs... |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Explanation at the beginning of the ep clears a lot of things up. Still don't know where this is going, but it's been enjoyable so far. |
 |
| It has been two weeks in a row now. Did anyone get this week's Haruhi reference? In the game, one of the sisters says she is going to be a veterinarian because she has no interest in ordinary humans. |

| Maaan, and I thought this was gonna be an interesting slice of life. Turns out it's just... weird. *sigh* May as well watch for Shaft then.. |
| Red Blue? |
| It's getting boring. |
| tuturu~!! (≧◡≦) |

There are countless things to be reminded of by binary code. I may be in the minority, but I'm really enjoying this show so far. Things needn't always be spelled out from the start. |
| Idk, Im enjoying it so far, the 2nd episode really cleared up the confusion from the 1st episode. Overall, its totally SHAFT, & being that, I dont expect it to make perfect sense, randomness is Shaft's specialty, just go with the flow |

| A very disappointing episode, i just don't feel the 'Shafty' vibe from this episode, the whole episode mostly consists of switching back and forth between close ups and the same distance shots. The MMO part just dragging on and on, beside Sasami's various face and Kagami's habit of sleeping when things don't go her way, offer nothing interesting for me. The timing in these parts was somehow off as well, in addition of the lack of Shinbo's quirky style, those comedy part just fell flat. Another issue coming from the later part, which was anti-climax due to its suddenness and (very) quick pacing, it's like Shaft is skipping a lot of novel material. Also, it would be nice if Shaft could maintain the same animation quality of the first episode, but that's probably me expected too much. On the positive note, the monologue at the beginning gave us a better understanding of what happened in the first episode and provided an interesting premise for the show. But that's just not enough to remedy my issues in this episode. Probably the worst episode of any Shaft show i have ever watched, never before i'm this disappointed. |

| The Unmotivation of Sasami Tsukuyomi. I'm not sure why I like this series as much as I do. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Now i really want to hear the ending song..I think it is going to be pretty awesome...... |
 |
| it had some good one liners and some funny bits, i personally liked this episode better than the last, although the going-inside-the-game bit was a bit weird, and her fixing it felt rush. |

| Proud mama and papa of Misha Yuuki* (02-01-2014 - 22-01-2014) Thank you for the wonderful twenty days you gave us. <3 One day we will meet again.. |
| It's fun, but I'm still not entirely content as of right now. Hoping it won't be episodic, but wouldn't mind too much either way. |
