| Well this was quite the fun and interesting episode. Is nice to see Sunraku having fun with his friends, albeit is a little strange that instead of grinding for more levels he decided to play bugged games. |
| Excited for the Whetermon fight. Boss fights are always fun in games. |

| @katakumplat He already grinded to level 51. The bossfight caps everyone at level 50, so there's no reason to keep climbing. He is going back to this fighting game to hone his reflexes for the bossfight to come. |
| And here I thought Rei started stalking Sunraku in other virtual worlds lol. But yeah, now I wonder who that new player might be. Rei eating Sunraku's cake was lols. |
| Another Excellent episode, I really like that Sunraku's family makes it a point to eat together, otherwise they would spend all their time on their individual passions and never be together as a family. That is nice. Merry Christmas to those who celebrate. |
 |
| Pretty much a filler episode, but I did like the family dynamics. |

rei is so cute and delulu, love her sm! |
woah yum-milf 
| The MILF is ok, but I am more into the Lil'Sis, she seems quite interesting, tho maybe a bit too normy. Since she's mainly into normal stuff like outdoors and fashion. . on that note, Towa Amane... isn't that... OH SHIT... . Pile Bunker eh... I was for sure it was going to be "Gomu-Gomu" LOOOOL But... how exactly is he going to train for the SLF's boss by playing a different game... one that uses glitches no less... cause SLF has next to no glitches... You would think he'll be training in SLF with his avatar to get a better feel and movement from the actual SLF game and not in a different game... . BTW... stalker girl... LOL, is she trying to write Real World letters that invite the MC to play together in SLF?... but she never told Sun who she is in either Real and Game... it would be REAL awkward to suddently get a letter that said, "thanks for adding me to your friend" from someone you barely talks with in Real and Game. Dude probably won't even know what it means, cause MC plays tons of games and probably gets other friends in it. |

his sister looks interesting, need more scenes with her :v Pencildragon pictures are very nice, she is a good model lol at her ingame, going mad at the 1st sign of shit talking from mc, but then being all happy cause they are as baka as her the npc girl tho, sad story, even Pencildragon was moved also, wtf, i can't with the part where she was dragging the king and the princess ... WHAT? HAHAHAHA Saiga at the end was so funny with the cake |
fav "new" girls from spring <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
| Gosh, this fighting game is really made with the ass ! |
| Pencilgon can be cute too.. Finally Rakuro family scene. definitely a normal family for sure. Damn Rei down bad bad... |
 |
| nostalgic my gamer child |
 |
| I love how they keep integrating some of the other games. Especially as connection to Pencilgon. Plus Sunraku's clear knowledge of her in IRL. Was cool to see confirmed finally. |
 |
| Go, guys, prepare for fight! I know what i'm gonna do tomorrow :) Geeeemu |

| @Bandanaa He could have gone to different areas to get different extra items (the fact that he added throwing knives in the last couple of episodes is a good example). He could have used different scenarios to try out new moves or a combination of them to create different outcomes with different terrain or different variables (air, temperature, weather, etc). Heck, he could even practice combining attacks, hence he's so fucking stupid he skipped the tutorial that explains how to use them (smart players would have found out this in a couple of days in comparison with a moron like Sunraku that has been playing for weeks). MMORPGs are more than just grinding, you know. It doesn't make any sense to go to a completely different kind of game to "hone his skills". Imagine going to play Street Fighter 6 to hone your skills on Valorant. |

| @Kimurah I didn't say anything about honing his skills. I said hone his reflexes. He picked a reaction-heavy game in anticipation for the fight to come. Besides, I also suspect he just had the itch to play that game again. Sometimes you just get a whim to play something else. He's been grinding SLF like crazy, so I'd say he's allowed to take a break from SLF and play a different video game for once. |
| Fun episode even if it wasn't action packed. The backstory was awesome and we even got to see a new side of Pencilton. Lots of goof-ball moments between the new crew. I actually liked how we seen Sunraku log off from his game world. Makes him feel more like an actual person with a life outside of video games. We even get to see his entire family this time and that was such a treat. We also see him in the fighting game again to work on his bug reaction skills. Looks like next episode will be him fighting the newbie and the start against they're fight with Weathermon. |
| this show is getting so fucking boring. Even Shield hero is better than this. The fact that these "NPC" behave like real people is plain dumb. Hope there's some kind of explanation. Also, he won't ever remove that idiotic bird mask am I right? |
| Bugs in the Beserk play online!!! Hilarious!! kekeke |
| She called Lycagon kuro chan and Emul Cinderella's daughter, interesting. Pencilgon getting embarrassed and blushing is super mega cute. Wonder what Sunraku's sister reaction will be if she ever found out Towa Amane is her bros gaming buddy. |

| @Bandanaa He plays a dex build that's based on quick reflexes. Honing his reflexes is honing his skills. The same way a ping pong pro would hone his skills by practicing solo and improving his reflexes. You just want to play with semantics for the sake of not being called out. Also, the fighting game they played didn't have anything to do with reflexes, but it was about exploiting in game vulnerabilities, which will be useless since SLF is allegedly a polished game with no such things. |

| @Kimurah He said that he's going to BERP to work on his reflexes. Whatever he's been farming in SLF isn't fast enough to compare to what he's trying to prepare for, so he's looking into other games to fill that gap. Besides, it's very normal to hop onto your old favorite games every once in a while. You don't wanna burn out on what you're playing right now, AND he still has 2 weeks to burn. There's no reason a ping pong pro can't take an off-day during his tournament prep. And even if you argued that point -- Sunraku's not a professional. He's having fun over the summer in a new game. Obviously he's taking it seriously, but there is zero reason he can't fuck off for an afternoon. This is a story about his gaming life, and BERP/Dragonfly will evidently be relevant again in the future. You're just nitpicking for the sake of nitpicking, because you can't just drop the show. Instead you have to come back every week and complain about non-issues. |
| Sunraku and Katzo roasting Pencilgon was a funny moment. Especially the Grinch comparision. |
 |
| Pencilgon would've sure love red dead redemption 2 |
  NYANPASU  5700XT |
| Sunraku, Pencilgon & Oikatzo's trio, plus Emul, makes for one wacky party lol |
       |
| Rei stuffing her face into Sanraku's cake was hilarious. LMAO. |
 |
| Plenty of things again this episode. I mean characters again talked, wethermon's name was again mentioned(for the 1000th time), we saw them going over the comparisons between god tier and trash tier game, and there was that opening song and ending song too.. yeah. By the way, in the midst of pretending that something actually was happening, good that we got confirmation the main guy's family ACTUALLY exists. |
 |
| The new quest seems very interesting, especially nice to see Arthur feeling compassion for a NPC lol, that was fun. Also first time we saw Sunraku's IRL family they all have their special hobbies |
