So many damn rats.

I like how they explain more mechanics of the game including its various creatures now. I'm not too used to this Nyanta character yet though. Kinda nice to meet another guild as well even if it's a flashback. Now I'm curious about Shiroe's past.

Dat OST though. Akatsuki was also adorable imo and badass :>. I sense trouble though.

Scary Ratmen... with the numbers and red eyes. Cat character!

Terashima-san's character fell... and the scene about knowledge being his only good thing. Shimono-san! So that little assassin girl looks young but same age as Terashima-san's character. The giant rat (Ratmaso) is even scarier.

Another group of doing wrongdoings. They are the one who searches for the little "maid" girl and cat.

A trip to them caves, kind of scary with those red eyed rats around. Time to explore them. Looks like a boss fight but it won't stop them from losing. I'm also curious about Shiroe's past.

Serara and Nyanta appears but less screen time though. Damn another group of guilds destroying the supplies, wonder what is there objective.

That flashback with Naotsugu and those other players was interesting. Hope we get to learn more about those characters and Shiroe's connection to them.

Serara is cute. I wonder why her and Nyanta are being pursued by that Demikas guy.

I can already tell the Nyanta is a badass just by his voice, I can't wait to see him action. Although I'm curious as to why those Demikas want Serara sio badly. Also, Shiroe's past was kind of interesting, at first I was thinking he was some kind of shut-in, but I would like to know more about him and that team that he was with.

Awesome ep! Loving this a lot :D...And Dat OST!!

So we have our first bad guy. And he's after Serara. PEDO ALERT??

Serara was pretty cute imagining herself as a housewife <3

Nakata Jouji saying Nyaa made my day. Liking Nyanta already ^^ XD

The adventure in the cave was really nice. Akatsuki being cute as usual <3
Naotsugu being lol and Shiro with his awesome monologues.

Lol'd at their reaction to Akatsuki being the same age XD

Really liked that bit with Tea Party. That glimpse of his past was nice and pretty emotional.
They seems like really fun people to be with especially the girl who seems to be the leader.
I really want to know what happened to them.

Also liked how everyone was shocked at how far they traveled in 3 days hehe.

I'm wondering if 90 is the highest level? Because all the strong characters are 90.

Nice episode. And Akatsuki is really putting the "cute" in "execute".
Those Brigandia guys we see there don't seem too nice, I hope they get whats coming to them.

Also, Serara raising her maid level to 44^^

Correct. That was already stated by Shiroe

Am I the only one getting bad vibes from Nyanta? I don't trust him....

Anyway, amazing episode! I really love how this show runs things!! That trek through the cave was pretty great~
Lots of amazing environments in this show!!

I'm not really interested in the whole "save the maid" plot (also , maid subclass? xDlol) but I want to know more about Shiroe's party
Akatsuki is pretty cool but why does she have to keep saying "my lord...my lord...my lord" I mean come on..... xD

They're almost there.

Looks like Shiroe re-lived a bit of his tea-party days, discovering new places.
It's nice that the trio were the first to set their sights there.

So we got more character background info

The first Boss Fight

Enemy Guilds who seem to be power Mad

Great Co-operative Team play

A little bit more info on how things work for example: only certain foods have taste such as salt and sugar

IT would seem that that the main plot for this series is going to be about Adventuring in this new world and at the Same time. And the Main Antanogists are going to be Either the monsters and bosses in the Game And The Guilds and Players who seem to have become power Crazy

ok now i am totally convinced this is going to be a great series i will wait for more to come :)

It seems like the anime tries to bring in elements from side stories so they can introduce more character earlier. Great things to do to show that not only Shiroe's party is on the move on dealing with the current situation players of "Elder Tale" found themselves in. I'm happy to see that they give screen time for Merrill to show her leadership between smaller Guilds, her portrait so far in anime doesn't show her complexity in character as much.

Technically, its the level cap of the "previous version." "Elder Tale" get a new expansion pack right before the "Catastrophe" so now the level cap is lv.100.

But yeah, that newly added Boss fight (not in the novel, but is there in the manga ver.) still don't give them any EXP even thou Naotsugu surely suffer a lot.

Although Tea Party is disbanded, not all members leave the game. Let just say that those that got voiced will certainly get more screen time later except for the leader. (who is currently on an even more exciting quest right now.)

Well, small pieces of information will eventually comes together later. By the way, Serara's Sub-class is not "maid" instead it's "House Keeper." "Maid" is a much more powerful Sub-class compare to this entry level Sub-class that did have good function thou.

Akatsuki also have pretty convincing reason to act the way she does, just like how Shiroe has his problem with Guilds as shown in this episode. Not sure if the anime will cover that part thou since it comes fairly late in the novels.

I been expecting Nyan-ta to show up all this time, and now finally we may see him with voice....... Maybe I will tries to add character background story section to my terminology post next time. Nyan-ta is awesome enough to have his own side-story.

Nice episode. And Akatsuki is really putting the "cute" in "execute".
Those Brigandia guys we see there don't seem too nice, I hope they get whats coming to them.

Also, Serara raising her maid level to 44^^


Technically speaking, Brigandia is portrait more like out right criminal in the novel..... The fact that NPC (People of the Land) become "real" actually add quite a lot of "incentive" to take the frustration out on them.

Also, part of the reason why leader of Brigandia is after Serara has to do with...... more then just Pedo stuff. Let just say that Nya-ta humiliate those mafia to the point (because he is awesome) that they view not able to catch Serara like a blow to their complete control over the city.

Hope I don't spoil anything....

Great OP, great ED and although not great so far, okay characters. Liking how they're actually fighting instead of having meaningless dialogue, I love dialogue but then it has to be good. Can honestly say I'm enjoying it way more than SAO so far.

You're right. In episode 2, Shiroe also says Akatsuki's a hardcore roleplayer.

Another great episode! I really like how they displayed teamwork and common group strategy: Naotsugu tanks and taunts the enemy, Akatsuki does a stealth attack from the back (in games, this would result in critical damage) while Shiroe debuffs the enemy and buffs his allies. I'd say they definitely got a rank S there haha (or maybe I'm just overthinking things).

I really like the ED <3 And lol'd at Akatsuki's expression when Henrietta spoke. Nyanta's also a level 90, interesting.

According to the poster , I think Shiroe will form a new party with some old member like Nyaa and Naotsugu .The rest will be new members like akatsuki

Very nice background story of Shirie I liked the traveling part with the Griffons as well,
It's a bit odd seeing Nao like he wasn't party of the Debauchery Tea Party when they stood on the cliff to view the sunset recalling from the game memory

Poor Nao again for being a punching bag for the party and the boss which he probably will endure the entire run

Better than SAO

Although I agree with you (and think that it isn't hard to be better than SAO), I think we should stop comparing them. Even though their both set in a video game world, they are vastly different already. This series is more of an adventure while in SAO, it was more focused on getting out and later romance. Anyways, I really enjoy all the exposition their giving which brings me into the game world. Really makes me want to play MMOs. I love the fights in this anime too.

Aw the food doesn't taste like anything? They look so good though, shame. Nice episode, we got to learn more about Shiroe and how he ended up playing the game. I also like his explanations when the party is fighting against monsters. Nyanta seems like a very cool character as well, looking forward to seeing him in action.

Wow. I thought Akatsuki is also a kid which is weird to be paired with Shiroe... now knowing she is the same age as Shiroe changes all of that.

Ahh, I see, so that is probably the reason why he doesn't like guilds, since he needs to help lots of people.

Finally, VRPGMMO done right.

I'm liking dat Chinese-looking leader of Debauchery Tea Party. Wonder what's she doing now. Can someone spoil me please? xD

Liking Shiroe as the main character, the dude isn't overpowered. His class's designed to be played as a more supportive role and he uses it perfectly. I wonder how he's gonna take it to the next level, without falling into the "oops, overpowered final spell which is a goddamn fireball of doom" crowd.

Decent, but still not better than first arc of SAO, IMO(second arc was not good at all). The death in game means death in real life factor needs to be there for it to compete, but it is a 2 cour show, so it has plenty of time for that to happen.

As for the episode, it was quite enjoyable. Finally a gameplayer appears in anime who isn't a NEET, and a most definitely not a useless bum like in certain anime lead but an engineering graduate to be. Which is a Plus.

Very enjoyable episode. It would totally suck to have food taste like that though. Just salt and sugar D:

They've got plenty of time to flesh things out so it's nice to see them adventuring and experiencing what the game has to offer.

Though it was subtle, this episode highlights the meaning they're trying to find in the world they're trapped in, which is a big deal. This isn't a life-and-death struggle for survival, but rather a search for meaning in this new existence. The MC found such meaning when he met his allies in the world before he was trapped and now he's rediscovering it with this friends again.

Well, seems like it is possible to cook to some extent after all. Cat guy was mixing apple skin, hot water, and some stuff that may or may not be cinnamon to make a drink. I suppose you simply need to take the basic ingredients that do have taste, and work with them the old way rather than combining them with the game menu. (I'm guessing Naotsugu's sausage couldn't be cooked over the fire because it was already cooked beforehand via menu.)

Also quite surprised by the somewhat heavy themes we touched toward the end. I mean, no matter how you look at it, these "people of the land" are now alive, sentient beings, so robbing, killing, and raping them (or whatever it is they were trying to suggest with that last scene), can't exactly be right, now can it?

I mean, we've got this situation with overpowered, immortal, and often mentally confused "adventurers" running around in an universe originally designed to make them feel powerful to begin with, with pretty much nothing stopping them from doing whatever they please to those apparently defenceless "NPCS" (and other, less powerful or numerous adventurers)... I wonder just how much of the plot will be focused on that lawless state of things, and what can be done to render it liveable for everyone.

Yes this is the best news for me yet. I am so glad Akatsuki is the same age as Shireo and like you said, they are both college students about to graduate. I feel i can relate to them a lot more now haha. CAD is really sweet, so it's cool to know he's been using that knowledge for the game too.

Definitely caught that at the end right there and i have to say, I really like this theme. It's interesting to know that Naotsugu was also part of the old tea party group and there is definitely a reason why they are still good friends. Nice to see them experiencing this stuff together again. It also seems like Shireo is all up for being friendly and helping out but he's not for that famed life, surrounded by so called friends who only follow him for their own interests.
