The fact that they just come back to life if they die really kills the suspense/finality/seriousness of everything for me. So what if there's PK or they kill Serara? I don't get it. When the characters get all uppity about it can't take them seriously


Keep watching. Shiroe will know that there's another penalty besides losing experience and items in their death system later :) .

About Serara, the anime adaptation didn't show the explicit problem in Susukino blatantly, but you can imagine : besides robbery, they kidnapped girls... one of the possibility is that they sold the girls to prostitution... or rape them.

what does this bloke want with serara ?
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy."

Wonder why exactly they want with Serara. The cat is obivous, it seems unlikely Serara is the first time he got into the way of those PK.

The cat is also an interesting throwback to .hack// (esp. Sign)

And that giant rat-man..it took them rather long to take it down, it being only a level 68 monster, even if it's a boss. Makes me wonder if fights tend to be rather hard there.

She actually turns on Demikas "buttons" if you know what I mean... It wasn't exactly shown in the anime but Brigandia was into slave trading. Particularly cute girls - whether Lander or Adventrurer. The books even implied rape.

It was, in my opinion, a better episode than the first two.

Now I'm really curious about what happened to Shiroe previous guild.

Also, that cat dude look funny :P
The only thing that I can think is that it's a cat playing behind the screen xD

That brigand group look interresting and their leader reckless. I wonder how Shiroe will interect with them, they seem much more organized than the first player killer group they met.

I just love the ED with Akatsuki smile at the end, it's just too adorable :3

This Anime is cool and all, but I am really not digging this Anime, yet, for some reason.
Are you guys seriously surprised that Akatsuki is the same age as Shiroe?? I mean, come on.......this is Anime, right??
Nakata Jouji for the win!! Serara is cute~ Maid level ahahaha.
Inoue Marina's character seems fun.
Annoying guy at the end =_=
I am really sleepy now but I must continue watching!!

So...Akatsuki is a legal loli. xD
I like the cartoony animation during the fights. It makes them look like something from a video game.
I'm very interested in knowing stuff about Shiroe's past group. They seem like an interesting bunch of characters.

I didn't know you can rob and kill NPCs.
Well, I guess if the game has living humans in it then the NPCs will have some sort of personality to remain consistent with the idea that the game is a "living" world.

Lol, Serara's becoming a housewife for Nyanta.
But I don't know if she'll be safe for long because Demikas and his guild are looking for her.
Maybe Demikas and Londark are going to be the main villains for Season 1. If not, maybe just for the first half.

So interesting characters the Debauchery Tea Party has.
Can't wait to meet them all.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

This series really makes me wish I had the extra time for a game like this. When I was younger I played some of the .hack games for PS2 and loved em, but it's not really the same experience.

Anyway, still quite good so far. Soundtrack is very nice too!

It was a bit odd seeing that flashback of Debauchery Tea Party, given that it's been established that back then it was a non-VR game, so they would not have "met" like that. Still, interesting episode.

I really like Shiroe's character, supporting everyone and making them strats.
Nice seeing Shiroe's past with his old party, hope they'll show that girl in the future.
Serara raising her maid lvl and imagining herself as a housewife so cute <3
Nyanta seems pretty cool.

Nao being punchbag for Akatsuki.
Their reaction to Akatsuki's age xD
Akatsuki cute as usual :3.
Can't wait to see those Brigandia guys get a good beating.

This show is rather dull, other than the "game characters" gimmick, seems to be every day fantasy fighting show, with boring characters. My finger is hovering over the drop button but hopefully this will get better.

Pretty good episode.

Combat continues to be great, loving how everyone's class and roll continues to matter.

Also the little flashback we got with Shiroe and his old *Guild* the Tea Party was pretty interesting. I'm hoping we get to learn more about them as the show goes on, maybe even meet some of them. Especially that girl who was talking to Shiroe, who seemed like she may have been the leader of the group.

I'm kinda lost. So, Shiros meathead friend says how awesome looking this is compared to looking at it from a monitor, so is this virtual reality? If that's the case, then the game wasn't virtual reality in the first place? So they were mysteriously transported in the game according to the synopsis. If I didn't read the synopsis I would be lost....

Why don't they ask that girl to die and get respawned in Akihabara, or is it because where she is, she can't respawn there.

Well, the ending was cool...

Good point, they've established when you die you just respawn. And the PKers in this episode said the people they were killing were going to the cathedral. Maybe weird but suicide would be the fastest way to get back home, heh. Unless each territory has its own specific cathedral?

Anyway, I liked the fight with the rat monster, some nice strategy and less voice over so it had a much better flow. The PKers were amusing in their douche baggery, even to the point of using the NPCs as mules and stripping one of their comrades before killing him.

The maid class sounds useless but it still made me smile.

I like the way that the Anime is a game, makes more sense than sward art online. Liking games myself this was thought out pretty well, want to help improve beta versions of games with info used from the anime.
Awsome awsome.
I have to say there is more to shiro than what he is letting on.

Something from the LN that is not a spoiler, but was not mentioned in the anime. The maid subclass can clean buildings, and it's main utility is lowering the rent for guild hauls. However players can hire NPCs for that too, so as serara said, it is a pretty useless subclass. Remember that Crescent Moon is a support guild.

They established all that in the first episode, but it was easy to miss those details.

Why don't they ask that girl to die and get respawned in Akihabara, or is it because where she is, she can't respawn there.

In episode 2 they said that, when it was a game, when you died you would respawn in the cathedral of the last city you visited. Serara is in Susukino.

I know how behind I am season-wise posting here but I remember hearing that many thought this show was great, even better than Sword Art Online.
As a fan of SAO (I'm aware how much flack that can warrant btw), I wanted to check it out and I saw that there was a discussion thread for the episode I just finished.
Getting that out of the way.
Wow, those guys at the end sure were ruthless, eh? "The NPCs are crying. That's new. But they don't interest me, so kill 'em."
I like the cat guy a lot so far and I wonder what he's gonna do about those pkers looking for Serera.
I like the show a lot so far too!

Oh boy they went to Moria and had a varied bit of "Fly, you fools!" moment. LOL Sorry couldn't resist.

So Naotsugu was part of his old raid party? Interesting. Wonder if we see the rest of them later?

What does Demikas want with Serara?

The group need to continue their travel through a labyrinth. Serara is living with cat-man in Susukino. In Akihabara, Marie summons a meeting with other’s guild leaders. Shiroe’s group try to cross through a bridge, but it crumbles, causing Shiroe to fall to the water, everything was ok, but by the end they defeated a giant rat, just to get out of the labyrinth. In Susukino, a group of bandits leaded by a guy named Demikas are causing chaos, and he’s interested in finding Serara.

The episode was not bad, they are now closer to Susukino, but as they said before, the town is in a chaotic situation. And is introduced the first formal villain (I think) that our characters are gonna have.

SO Shiroe's main reason for not joining a Guild is because he gets so popular at one point, he's being repeatedly asked for his help by many players, giving him a pain in the ass... I thought it was because he was betrayed by another guild member in a guild he used to be in or something along those lines...

Debauchery Tea Party (The best part about adventuring is experiencing new things!) The main motivation for Shiroe. It'll be cool if the party somehow get together somewhere in the future. Just because I want to see more of the story since the story is still pretty mild right now.

In this world based off of Elder Tales, the number of actions a player can do is limitless, including attacking the NPC amongst many others. So does that mean the players get to do something more specific such as doing an indecent sexual act to the NPC or building (not buying) a structure of some kind? This is a pretty big question that should be explained IMO.
