| I was speechless at the end :o Also SAO and Mahou Shoujo Site spoilers |
damn i hope she isn't as crazy as M says she is. i was justing starting to think of her as best girl.  |
| the lolis irl are manly ingame and the tall grill irl is the loli ingame this series is the legit stuff |
Tom562clancy said: ichii_1 said: Good action, LLEN is skilled but the opponents were little high school girls XD Also recap next week I think, damn it 3hz. Well considering most COD players are like 12 I don’t see what’s the problem here The "problem" is that were talking about a "tournament" here, not a casual deathmatch game. You're right, the age of her opponents isn't that much of a problem however, the lack of tryhards is. Now the author probably isn't that much of a gamer so I understand why he wrote certain things the way he did but this makes LLENN look like another OP protagonist when "the problem" actually lies with "everyone else". |
| That M reaction is on another level. He was so scary about Pito. She should be the devil lmao. A lot of fighting scenes this episode as the conclusion of the arc. LLENN is really lucky, her size really help in combat. The scenes were alright with the same tactics. The best part was the LLENN vs Eva, intense moment in the scene. That scary look of hers damn. The knife was a great help. The interaction between Eva and LLENN is quite interesting. Looking forward for more of them. P-Chan was the MVP. |

Lelouch0202 said: Lot of mixed feelings about this episode, parts of it were really good and some of it was just insanely contrived. I'm not sure what M's deal, looks like his complete change in demeanor was not related any plan or anything and he just gets scared of Pitou? It's kinda weird that they just destroyed his cool guy character just like that. Some of the fight scenes were great but some parts of the battle with Boss vs LLENN just felt contrived especially the part where she just shoots into the scanner which is an immortal object and the end where she uses the P-90 to block all of the Boss's shots. I mean when the entire shooting mechanic is based of that aim assist system that has a huge crosshair and assuming the bullet goes randomly into that circle, it's just contrived that she somehow always shot the scanner and that somehow all her shots were blocked by the P90. Well no point in talking about it now. I noticed M-san said 'Boku' at the end there, is he possibly a kid? Nooo! Why'd you cut your hair Karen? T.T It's kinda cool that the kids were actually the final opponents. aaaand, how the hell did she dodge that bullet bro what o.o... |
YizelTro said: be honest, i like the action. really was satisfiying action scene. really intense, and hype, i like it a lot. but the fuck i got mind blown that, that bunch of amazon girl is actually little elementary girl lmafo. andd...really, i only like the action. i was really good hahaha and, rip p-chan.  i dont feel good. I DONT WANNA GO!! Spiderman... FeelsBadMan |
| unbalanced game settings. she should be dead in one shot by the sniper rifle |
| Nice surprise at the end when it is the high school girls who are faced in the face of Llenn. |
OMG that giggle when LLENN rolled backward off that rock. |
  |
| Well, M lost almost all of his credibility in this episode, for me... Having taken him for a pretty badass sniper, with possible real world familiarity with the weapons he uses in GGO. All because he's afraid Pito might kill him, for real? Jeeze Louise. I didn't know whether to laugh or shake my head at that little bit of SAO, Aincrad misdirection. What a dolt he turned out to be, though. Lest I mention the anthropomorphised gun, on LLENN's behalf. Another eye roll moment. Putting that together with the aforementioned M scenario, and this series just took a left turn down the same back alley the worst parts of SAO seasons 1 & 2 were known to frequent. BUT, I gotta say, I all out LOVE that little twist, right at the end. No, not the battle itself. LLENN's taking a victory, and M's lap-dogging himself back into the match for the assist, all having been thoroughly predictable. No, I mean the little squad Karen/LLENN meets and is revealed to have been her last stage opponents in the match. Saki's looking up and calling Karen a 'munchkin', while Karen stared right back down at her, calling her an 'Amazon'. Friggin' hilarious, that. Made up for all of the oddness of the rest of the episode. Oh, and LLENN's whole strategy, fighting by herself, those action sequences, they were pretty badass, too. |

| After watched till episode so far, I pretty sure Llenn-chan is cheating! |
 兵家 "Green how I want you green. Green wind. Green branches." |
| "Munchkin!" "Amazon!" lol |
| The sword that takes life gives life |
RobertBobert said: Yeah pretty much, i had to go back and rewatch that scene again, it took me by suprise XDWait, I was not mistaken? The command of the fighting "Russian" women, with whom she fought, is the IRL a group of short schoolgirls from the athletics club? |

| I have to admit. This episode was actually good. M san was crying a lot over not wanting to die, but Lleen stepped up her game and continued taking out opponents even though she was losing health. She was a really good fighter when facing that last team, even when she was in an up close match with no ammo. That knife slash was perfect in that situation. M-san started fighting again towards the end and made some epic final moves, especially when he shot the grenade in that girl's pouch. Karen even met her toughest GGO rivals in real life. You certainly have respect for your in game rivals when you're complimenting them in real life, and reassuring your rivalry. |
 |
| Great episode, they actually managed to win. hahahaha can't believe that those girls are the"badass" women are those girls xD I hope they explain why M had this attitude. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Well, we might need to add P-Chan to the character list at MAL. Imagine a gun getting her own chara listing. HAHAHA. OK JOKES ASIDE, I’m really curious if the gun really talks or that’s just LLENN’s coping mechanism. Either way, she did make a really cool entrance afer that. Sitting on the rock just waiting for them to find her. |
Tsuguni said: Why Llen is a inmortal object? She’s not. Eva tried to shoot her left heart - which had the scan terminal in the front pocket. The scan terminal is a vital game mechanic so it had to be an immortal object. |
BurntJelly said: OMG that giggle when LLENN rolled backward off that rock. IKR! She’s probably high on adrenaline hahaha. I repeated that scene quite a few times. That and when Karen’s meeting the girls lol. Next episode would probably go back to the scene at Karen’s house with the little girls. I think it was episode 2? She had these girls in her house and they were talking. I’m not sure if it’s the same group of girls and I’m too lazy to go back and check :P |
| How could she miss a gorilla woman like Eva at such a close distance!? Are you kidding me...Then there was the gorilla woman missing ALL of her shots in return lmao. The bullshit with this episode was strong. I can't anymore with this anime. At first, it was just boring and nothing more, but now it's going into bullshit territory. That's not gonna fly. Dropped. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Damn that M mental breakdown, Pitohui must be one scary lady in real life :o LLENN is so fast and has such great skill! P-chan started talking, that was soo funny! XD This face though!  So the final team LM defeated were a bunch of high school girls, which Karen happened to be passing by a lot in real life. It's funny how that works at times. |

| Wow they made Pito look like an incredibly crazed woman at the start, we even got an SAO reference about death. M said Pito is still obsessed with death games, does this mean she is a survivor? I had a feeling M would come back and help at some point, I didn't think LLENN could take them all out on her own, that was a really good team she was up against. They managed to do it, boy it was really tough though, that knife did come in handy in the end. I must admit though the shooting by them all was pretty bad at times, even at that close range they coudln't hit anyone. That ending was cool how she met her opponents in real life like that. |

| Is the talking gun supposed to be a reference to Hermes in Kino no tabi? I know the author of GGO Alternative also does the light novles for Kino no tabi. |
 |
allblue1 said: Why is her gun talking? . GGO alternative's author has a knack for having inanimate things talk. He wrote Kino's journey and that has a talking motorcycle. |

DragoonDeus said: This went from watchable to absolutely fucking terrible all in 1 episode. This episode my god did it just go full retard. I was writing my own post, saw this. This. Just this. This episode was absolutely awful. |
| Talk about the world being a small place... ^_^ |
 |
| dropped because that gun stuff and M were too over the top and ridiculous. Not to mention the plot armor... its a shame because I actually enjoyed the anime |
 |
| I have a theory that Pito is that idol girl (I think her name was Elsa?). Why else would they so obviously mention a pop star so often? And Pito just happens to be going to a wedding the same time the SJ is on, which is also coincidentally the idol's concert day (IIRC Karen said she couldn't go to the concert because of the SJ and they couldn't get tickets). but then who would M be? Her band mate? Manager? Publicist? Just an unrelated non-musical friend? IDK but I'm intrigued and the theory makes a lot of sense. Damn I love this anime so far |

| Don't ever mess with P-chan. Loved the episode. |
  |
| So good! SO GOOD! The episode as a whole was fantastic. I really didn't understand M's logic in the end but whatever. The fight was amazing! It really got me hyped. Then the ending...THE ENDING!!!! The kids were the SQUAD!!!! Damn that Handshake at the end was SO GOOD! I wonder if Pito was in SAO??? I love this anime. |

| Well... it was a fantastic episode and very fun as well as exciting! But the most fun was that... I still don't believe that this cute group of little gymnastic girls were those ugly old grand girls! FUCK!!!! REALLY NIGGA!! xD   NOOOO!! WAAAAAY!! OMGGG! Here there would be about in 220 pounds of testosterone and a very strong solarium in the Sahara! Nice avatar... xD   OOOOH FUCK!! xD   hahahahahahahah has guts Boss, to threaten that munchkin! xD 💓💓👌  |
No doubt LLENN has developed the Ultra Instinct! xD |
| You do remember that everyone's avatar is chosen at random, right? Not by choice. Also, if they all had a height complex, they obviously wouldn't care how they looked so long as they were tall. Lelouch0202 said: All that contrivance was LLENN's devilish luck. Simple, but how else would anyone outnumbered take out all those enemies? Of course, skill is a factor, but try to think about it from the others' pov. No one would call it lucky if LLENN got hit one of those times. They'd even say it didn't require any skill at pointblank range. However, you'll see that it was even luckier for Boss to shoot the same mark every time; even at pointblank range.Lot of mixed feelings about this episode, parts of it were really good and some of it was just insanely contrived. ...

Reload said: You do remember that everyone's avatar is chosen at random, right? Not by choice.

 |
| This episode triggered me beyond belief , it's like things weren't that bad up until this week but too many things caused even my suspension of disbelief fall right back into those classic awful SAO moments i just can't take any of these fights remotely seriously |

uninstallthegame said: uhm, so many questions... -she's fast enough to dodge a bullet and not fast enough to dodge a kick? -immortal object? a piece of player's body? clothing? -ok, immortal object, why shoot the same spot over and over? -she missed point blank from p90? that needs a lot of effort to do that -even though she shots a straight line of bullets from range.. -knifing legs affects persons body and she falls down on knees, llenn gets shot multiple times, doesn't give a fuck, nice well, what am i even complaining about, such a shitty writing couldn't apply under normal game logic upd: also, that bullet to bullet scene was just like evangelion's one, but it didn't affect the bullet trajectory, sadly -because a kick doesn't have a bullet line, and she did that so close that llenn didn't see it was coming -the scanner device, it can't be destroyed -because it didn't show immortal object until she's done shooting -i believe because llenn is panicking and that enlarging her bullet circle as explained on eps 1 making her aim messed up -that's because she keeps her cool so the bullet circle also small, remember that in ggo emotions determines so much on your accuracy -that's not true she stumbled many times after getting shot, remember the first shot on eps 4? She can barely walk and in eps 5 too she hardly regain her balance after getting shot And what are you talking about? We don't have a full dive virtual reality game like ggo and sao in our world how can you compare the game logic with that? of course it'll be different. Not to mention that every games has it's own rule and logic i don't see what's wrong with that |

| I still find M reason is just illogical , i mean yeah if he lose pito gonna do something to you , not kill im sure but something more worse XD . So then why dont go for the win ? Why kill llen so he could surrender ? He’s a sniper , just let llen bait and eait on a safe place . If llen died he could surrender afterward . No need to kill her right there . And p chan talking . Omg lol Why all of them are rip aim on close range , i mean llen could shoot the enemy body( her body is big so its a good target at close range yet she still miss an awful lot and only grazed her) and the enemy is rip aim as well , close range using pistol why dont shoot head , instead shooting body and hitted p chan instead , in taht close range its obvious to shoot head And what so the big become small and small become big , lol , game like this should have their own character customization |
| That ending was beautiful. Everything was good but the talking P-chan thing... like, wut? |
| Anyone knows what's the name of that track when LLENN fought her opponents? That track was so catchy as... |
| Heh, I wasn't expecting it to be them. |
