----------------------------------------
Nice, they got along with the action pretty quick. I like it. OST got better too imo.

Hell, even watching Tetra fighting was amusing. Overall a good solid fashioned raid. I haven't seen one of these in awhile. Lol, Demi-demi and his wyvern kick. What a boss.

I didn't know it was Christmas time as well. Only a few more months until Xmas is here...

Many level of the dungeon that everyone's familiar of, but with hidden areas. Many hard monsters, including fighting against the bird that stone players and keep retreating. 60 secs., huh.

That idol player is annoying in funny way as always, but is useful for healing. That guy who has grudge is still active. So that naming was the point that angered him?! lol.

Back to Akiba and Christmas time. Guden? Assassin girl wants to solve it for improving herself. Wait, that someone at the end... Cannot wait to find out who (enemy?).

Well for those who said that the first season lacked Action, they certainley got their wish in this episode and in the next few episodes wll get more for sure.

Wow the full mechanics of a raid were explained so well. it makes me want to try one. i mean i played some MMOs but i never got a chance to actually participate in a raid before i really want to try it.

Oh William u never cease to amaze me how self righteous u are. but he needs to give himself some credit.

So the official word for Overskills are called 'Teachings'.

They skipped the part of the tea party and dressing Lenessia in a nurse outfit just a brief image was shown. why damn it.

Also oh hell yeah the Murderer of Akihabara is coming. this Christmas is going to be bloody.

Demiclass is surely a problem ^^

Finally him!(the guy at the end). More action coming

I want more of a certain cute assassin >.<

The dialogues between Naotsugu and Tetora make me smile :)

Still think Tetora is cute :3 How the hell does she stick to Naotsugu though XD

Loved the first half with the raid. Really nice stuff. Liking the atmosphere it gives off :D

Liking William quite a lot ^^ I can't wait to know more about him.

The "Teaching" skills thing seems pretty interesting.

Lol'd at Democracy getting pissed at being helped by Shiroe :P

Some awesome actions in the beginning with the raid. Shiroe's narration makes life easier by explaining everything that's going on.

William's admiration for Shiroe was nice to see. He's slowly becoming one of my favorites. (^^)

Democracy-san can't contain himself anymore. For one thing, he's quite prideful, but he should really calm down and try getting back at Shiroe with nickname jokes. XD

Tetra's silly antics are pretty cute! Is she getting attached to Naotsugu a bit too much though? Potential (romance) rival to Marie. :p

A bit about the new "Teaching" skill, which I bet Shiroe has already acquired. I don't think the others necessarily need it though.

Good episode. That white-haired guy from the last episode is probably going to be the new villain. Akibahara is in potential danger? O.o

I really enjoyed that raid, it served as a reminder that this really was a game. I loved how familiar it was all to me, all the terms I like.
Some nice bit of character development for William, I'm really starting to like his character.

THIS FULL RAID IS WHAT I WANT SAO'S BOSS FIGHT TO BE LIKE.


24 members, all do their jobs, got sh-t done and together enjoy the glory of victory.


Then again, with the stupid concept of Aincrad (all melee, no class, no equality) any kind of strategies seem impossible.

If he could he wouldn't be so hostile. He knows that he loses automatically to Shiore when intelligence is at stake, and he was consoling himself by showing that he was strong. But then he found out that many of his victories were coming because of Shiroe. That is enough to make anyone with any pride mad, think of a child who for the first time wins at something important to them, only to later discover that their parents had helped them.

It wasn't "stupid". Don't forget that the designer had a specific purpose for creating the game the way he did, he wanted levels, he wanted melees, he certainly didn't want equality among the players. He wanted them to battle out so that the good ones would rise to challenge him. He had no care for the large majority of players who either didn't or couldn't try.

So if the game had been actually invented, perhaps its actual sales would tank and from a marketing pov it would have been stupid, but for the goal of the creator it was the perfect game.

Good episode, shows how data dumps should be handled, during action scenes, with only occasional sitting or standing around doing things. Wish Mahouka had done it this way.

The art work I think has gotten a better this episode, though I expect the same DEEN haters to hate, I've gotten use to it. Once again good characters and good plots are what people want, it can absorb the art.

I was geeking out during the raid explanation. Tanks pulling aggro, dedicated damage dealers, rangers and mages in the back row, support team healing and buffing the team and also debuffing the enemy...this is how you do a show with an MMO game as its central theme.

A lot of them kept dying so that means a lot of lost memories. What's scary is that they don't know which memories they lost.

Lenessia nurse! Marielle and Henrietta found a new toy haha.

Fighting the raid bosses and the mobs!
Having to escape a wipe and learn slowly on the weakness of a boss.
With limited supply of now 30 days! Two boss down with three or four more.
Tetra is quite the healer, quite amusing to watch her style. Though her style makes it less efficient.

A new level for skills! Maybe Akatsuki would get it from the mysterious npc that appeared at the end!

I also agree that it was a really boring episode, too much talk and the action was mediocre at most. Also the party comp was really bad :| i mean for what raids I've been to, groups tend to be diverse, so that every one has a healer and maybe a tank considering they had 6 (too many), this makes it easier to split up if needed.
Also in what raid can you kill a monster alone, in one hit even, like Demi does. And lastly i was really waiting forward to the boss fights, but they were a real letdown. The only thing they showed were a couple of boss abilities and how everyone got hit by them : rest was talking. Also scenes where they actually fought the boss were really short, and the second one was skipped altogether so ... yea it was boring.

This game uses a classic combat system. It plays like WoW but I would say that its classes are more variant and defined in fact it plays very close to everquest.

I really liked how their parties were set-up for the raid and their overall effectiveness.

Tetora sure is funny XD.

Dat raid boss doe...

So raids are freaking in this game and they take a very long time to complete.

Even William was amazed at how many days the materials that Shiroe has would last.

Demikas should really stop bishing about Shiroe and start thinking about his teamwork.

So Christmas is nearing in-game and a weird guy/npc appeared at the end of the episode.

I think that's the first anime which managed to convey properly the basics of what are really MMORPG's PvE raids to profanes. That was nice to see. This also managed to show how annoying for the whole raid members with an undisciplined or childish behavior can become lol~.

Interestingly enough, what Demikass does isn't any different from what Kirito does in SAO. The guy is soloing raid opponents and rush the opponent alone without caring about any strategy, even against boss opponents.
It's funny to see the difference of reaction from the SAO player and the LH players toward that behavior. In a MMORPG, a player behaving like demikass or kirito would never get any admiration. Rather than that, he would never get accepted in any PvE guild thinking of chalenging high level encounters.


That guy at the end that we saw during an earlier episode wasn't an adventurer? That's a surprise.

You seem to forget SAO had no ranged classes heck it had no magic at all. I am not saing SAO handled boss fights well. But it is like comparing Apples to Oranges the game mechanics are completely different.

more like, while that sao game technology is awesome, the game in itself is an absolutely awful MMO, because the author doesn't know shit about MMORPG's PVE. Furthermore, even without ranged classes, there ar still tanks and dps specialists, yet even with just two "classes" to manage, the author didn't manage to show them working together properly. In the end, that's the difference between an author who know about what he's writting about and one who only knows rapists as boss raid.

As someone who has never played more than a few minutes of any mmo, I really appreciate all of the info-dump that this show gives. To anyone who plays mmos, how long does it usually take to perform a raid in real life?

I find it interesting how new things are being added to the "game" even after the apocalypse. I wonder how powerful that new skill ranking is going to be.

Meh, it's a difference in perspective really. I think you did point it out real well earlier. SAO is more about the solo loners who goes pew pew in PUG's and LH is more about guild interactions and whatnot. Each has their own audience, and is rooted in a real experience. No need to start degrading one at the expense of the other.
