Another episode, another battle although I have to say this this one felt more serious than the other episodes. With every game event day, I suppose the fights gets tougher.

It was cute seeing everyone working as a team although this episode imo felt less fun than others. Seems they're pushing it to the finale soon with these events.

The fights are getting harder and harder, which is only a good thing. Everyone has to do their absolute best in order to beat the enemies.

Nice fireworks. :)

The guilds cooperating with each other, the admins didn't predict this one but it's interesting to watch.
Hopefully the teams the created will be effective in achieving their goals and getting the medals.
Also Maple's fireworks show was funny.

Just like the devs to throw in hidden mechanics to keep things interesting. Though they're rivals Sally and Frederica sure made a great team. At the same time it sure created some interesting teamups as well. Going up against an inventor really is scary. When fighting against small nimble opponents the twins really are at a disadvantage. Still everyone sharing the base was a interestimg move. Though the base has more than enough space for them. Its nice seeing Payne and Mii fight together though. Funny in that thanks to this the games top guilds are now working together.

The reason why it felt less fun is due to the one change between this version and the light novel that basically ruined the episode for me and made me decide to skip it when I realized what they were doing: the anime cut the part where Mii reunites Maple with Mai and instead has her be paired with her sister and Kanade instead.

By doing this, the anime deprives viewers of the most memorable scene during this part of the 8th Event: 

Trust me: this is one scene that I was looking forward to seeing in the anime, and the fact that Silver Link decided not to include it is basically "Xebec's butchering of Negima's Kyoto arc" levels of bad in terms of changes between the source material and the anime.

Maple Tree being caught off-guard and split teleported to the playing area, this marks the start of the 8th Event where it's an individual effort, as much as teamwork is involved in fighting off strong monsters.

Sally is first in meeting Frederica, and they form a tag-team for now while on the conquest to gather back their teammates from where they are. Maple with Mii, and marker items to help locate one another is a must necessity.  Kanade with May, Yui and Drag, eventually joined with Payne and Dread, forms a group. Iz with Marcus, the logistics duo in a dungeon and awfully trapped, while Kuromu and Misery are tapped together with Mii to the rescue, eventually finding the two to group together. Kasumi with Shin makes for a sword pairing, which the both of them are eventually found. 

With Maple Tree, Order of the Holy Sword and Flame Emperor converging all at once, finding a safe haven is just as important, and Maple Tree's trap-laden cave base is a safeguard, though more space is needed for the various guilds, which is cooperation at the most cooperative level, where the game devs didn't expect them to embrace teamwork altogether...which calls for more unfair adjustments for istrong monsters to enter their base. At the very least, both of Payne and Mii's guilds repaying Maple's effort for staying at their base, pays back the favour by destroying monsters at the base's entrance.

The next few days will be even more rigorous, so they'd better get ready for more that's to come, splitting everyone in all directions.

It's a team effort now then to get through the 8th Event.

8th event is lining up to be pretty interesting. Game masters are getting pretty anxious about Maple and the guild taking down the events so easily, can’t wait to see what they got planned for them next week.

Looks like the dev team have upped the stakes for this event. Making everyone become separated is one thing that isn't new, although it was still pretty effective. However, having parts of the map shrink away bit by bit, forcing some teams to abandon their bases and making them more vulnerable also worked successfully.

Despite that, the trio of team Maple, Mii and Payne all eventually got together (Partially helped by Maple making herself into a makeshift "firework" to give her team a guide to where she is) before they all headed back to Maple's base, which was becoming more of a perfect choice since it's in the central part of the map and is large enough to accommodate 3 different guilds without feeling cramped at all.

We still got plenty of action, with Iz and Macus proving to be an effective duo as they both took out a pharaoh boss to gain more silver medals.

Overall, this was a pretty solid episode. Another piece of good news is that the final two episode will be airing in April, where I feared that we'd have to wait until June for it. Granted, there is a 1-week break in-between, but as long as it gives the production more time to maintain the quality of the series, then I don't mind. =)

The top three guilds working together makes an unstoppable force. A nice collaboration of resources to have them all team up. Starting this next day of the event with doing like fortnite does where the map shrinks and it forces players to move locations. Following the players already being separated from their guild teammates and paired with some of the other guilds members. Some interesting combinations seen with the different players. Iz and Markus, Chrome and Misery, of course Sally and Frederica were fun to see paired. Maple setting explosives off on herself to make those fireworks to send a signal made me laugh. Lucky that Mii saved her from falling into the water, which lead to their team up too. Mii and Payne taking on those monsters in the bass cave looked so cool. Each going all out with their pets abilities and their own. Leaving the base is risky but it's the best way to gain more medals and with the forces relocation likely to happen the next morning its best to get ahead of that.

I do enjoy when Bofuri show us how good cooperation between rivals can be. Fewer Maple moments than usual, but they were pretty funny, especially fireworks at the beach.
Poor Markus, first intimidated by Iz oneesan and then traumatised by the loss of cameras. Definitely not his day.
Finally, Payne is now in a party with 3 supports. He already is in top 3 in the game with Mii and Maple, with such heavy support he is going to be simply unstoppable.

You can blame that on Silver Link wanting to keep the twins together (whereas the light novel had them separated when Maple Tree was split up).

Had the anime stayed true to the LN, there would have been an additional Maple moment involving her and Mai, with me finding it to be much better than the fireworks bit.

Is it just me or does it feel like this season has a little bit... too much action? Don't get me wrong, I think it's nice but I'm kind of missing some of the wholesome slice of life moments from season 1 that made the show fun.
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.

I think part of it has to do with the original content itself and the handling of some of season.

In terms of the content, most of the slice of life bits happen during the 4th Layer. The rest of the LN is more focused on action moments and character growth (unless you're referring to the bits where Maple gets a new power-up SoL).

As for the handling of the season, keep in mind that the anime rushed through three volumes of the manga in just four episodes in order to get to the 7th Layer. It's obvious that Silver Link had an idea of how they wanted the season to go. Meanwhile, there are some parts that I feel would work better if there was some of the wholesome aspect placed in it.

Two examples: 

Episode 5: For me, I would hold off Maple's octopus situation until after the twins got their bear cubs, and make the anime-only scenes involving Mai, Yui, and Kasumi be a pair of breaks from the summon quest action that serve as parallels. The first one (basically, the dessert scene with Izu) would have the twins at their low since they're having some problems with their quest and Kasumi at her high as she's completed the three trials needed to be completed before the confrontation with the snake (with her only stopping for now due to her being in chibi form), with the twins getting inspiration to continue after learning about what Kasumi has completed so far in terms of her summon quest. The second scene would be a town square scene set after the twins acquire Tsukimi and Yukimi. Kasumi is now at her low because she's has a hard time dealing with the giant snake, while the twins are at their high because they finally got their summons and are starting to train them. The idea of the twins being able to get their summons despite the defeats along the way (and the handicap of doing it on their own) is the inspiration Kasumi needs to finally complete her quest and acquire Haku.

This episode: Very simple. Keep it true to the LN, have Mai reunite with Maple when Mii provides her with a tracker (instead of her being with Yui and Kanade) and include

The fireworks scene does happen in the LN, it's what got changed in this moment, 
that resulted in a certain LN scene to get cut.

"That's just bombs Maple stick on herself"

"HUH, WHAT?"


LOOOOOL

God damn it Maple....couldn't you just throw the bomb up and explode it instead?

Also.. WTF is this event... is this a Battle Royal game? (forcing everyone into an area with the map being made smaller and smaller)


But apparently Maple's Base is the Center zone... what luck...


LOL @ the DEV's, how did they not expect the TOP 3 guilds to all be at same place. RIP the monsters. (at this point, they would have to send in 10x world bosses all at same time, lol)


Maple literally made a "Raid Party"...

Also, Still can't get over how cute Kazumi is after she shrinks. I want to hug that cute thing.

Everyone gets separated from their parties and have to regroup and the three strongest guilds form an alliance. That is certainly not the outcome I was expecting to see. The game devs clearly didn't plan for such a thing to happen either.

Mass teleportation and map deletion are some great tricks by the admins to thin the herd. I'd say it majorly backfired with the strongest players now working together because of it though.

This second wave so far isn't standing a sliver of a chance against our crew!
