Well that certainly wasn't a pleasant reunion for Ash and Matoi. And the fact that Matoi gets taken makes it even worse.

It looks like Ash fought against a pretty savage fighter this episode. What a cliffhanger.

So the weapon and the girl are the keys to open up that seal. And that guy pairing up w. Hanazawa-san's character was encouraged by Sakurai-san's character to get them (he somehow has the red eyes). HiroC's character finally got chance to interact to other characters.

Gettemhult became Dark Falz Elder, that's crazy.
The scene at the end was really beautiful, animation looked outstanding.

The CG scene at the end was pretty much taken straight from the game, just with a filter to match the aesthetic of the anime. xD

Villain in anime version is really active compare to game counterpart. Damn my hate to this power hungry bastard just resurface once again after all this years with all the brutallity in this episode.

and what with that Game CG cutscene at the end lol I know it freaking cool the first time I see it in game well If they save the budget for next episode then it should be all good I guess.

Next Episode is obviously battle against Dark Falz Elder so let see how ARKS will handle this threat.

Looks like Getehrmheard or however it's written went insane.
And a huge monster appeared in his place, guess this is the main thing the story is about.
now the question is how will they deal with it.

He got possessed by a Dark Falz that sealed inside that place and become its host.
The monster you see is a Dark Falz [Elder] true form.

Though brief the attack sure cost the ships crew dearly. So Getty did indeed get overtaken by his rage then. His desire to release the one creature that the six weren't able to defeat and defeat it himself shows just how arrogant the guy is. Well in the end he got what he desired in ultimate power though not in the way that he expected. Looks like this battle is going to get much bigger and much more interesting as well. Overall an interesting ep that while showing how arrogant Gettemhult actually was also showed how this arrogance was taken advantage off perfectly by the dark Faltz. From the looks of things the puppet master is definitely someone high within Arks and higher than even the six elites. The scenes that showed the Faltz construct break out of the planet though were pretty impressive in animation quality.

Can’t say whether or not that girl is really waifu material. She’s got no backbone or will or her own and just blindly going along with what’s she’s told.

Damn, that was brutal. Did Gettemhult get possessed? Did he kill Seana? It seems she might survive. For some reason, I started liking Seana this episode. Those two flashbacks that we saw of her and Gettemhult, I wish we could see more. I want to know more about what happened between those two. It was so shocking and painful to see Gettemhult try and kill Seana. It would've been more impactful if we had known more about them though.

So are Zeno and Casra dead? Echo screaming for Zeno at the end was heartbreaking... (Echo is my favourite girl in this series).

Yes, Dark Falz Elder took over his body.

Not just their past, but the whole "10 years ago" event that has been mentioned a few times in previous episodes will be revealed eventually (it's a really important event, but because of several reasons it can't be revealed yet). ^^;

Yep (and I still play it occasionally), though, the anime has been handling alot of things differently than the game, some stuff that has been shown in the anime so far was only vaguely hinted in the game, and some things have been taking place in a different order in the anime (other than a few exceptions, the changes the anime made to the story have been mostly for the better).

Whoa this episode was pretty great. Still crazy that this anime is rated so low.

I'm alittle confused why Gettemhult overpowered a council of 6 ,but other than that. Was kinda fantastic, Kinda look forward to this anime every week, they CGI was pretty great. Like Akira esque.

The animation quality in general is fantastic, the facial expressions are astounding, like MC looking like he just saw the scariest thing in his life. Which he probably did. Anyways this show is pretty good.

No wonder it was breathtaking.

Despite being in the council of six, Casra's specialty is dealing with information, so he's not as strong as the others, but I'm assuming that the influence Dark Falz was having on Gettemhult (red eyes) may have been making him alot stronger than normal.

Some people are impatient and want the answers about what is going on right away. xd
Though, the show does have alot of characters, which makes it harder for newcomers to get invested in them (especially with some characters, especially anime only characters, being introduced only to get killed), and the animation quality can be rather rough (though it's still watchable).

Some watcher think the plot is hard to understand and all over the place while some said the plot is too predictable and didnt make sense.

But this is actually in the very introduction part of PSO2 story that heavily focus on mysteries and characters introduction with all the hint and foreshadowing bring drop every episode so some people could slowly connect the whole picture.

The major problem is they didn't have much time for massive characters interaction (despite several characters didn't made it to anime).

... well, then. Due to some things behind the scenes, Muse Asia is forced to use the Falspawn stuff. IDK who to blame, but I'll keep making at least one line with Darker / PSO2 Fan translation and one with Falspawn / Funimation translation.

This episode seems to be a bit light on Darkers, IMO. Though it didn't stop it from being a good episode. Sina and Gettemhart, though... I pity them.

Can't wait for the next episode. Damn you, Gettemhult, for causing this Falspawn invasion...!

This series is a cliche checklist. The foreshadowing is so thick it is almost like they are treating the viewer as an idiot. Matoi is a walking damsel in distress, and that is giving her too much credit. The antagonist protagonists are written so obviously evil that it comes as no surprise that they turn for whatever reason, and their loss has absolutely no impact since they are impossible to like.

This episode has just brought everything to a head. As a relatively large scale anime consumer I feel insulted by what this series is presenting to me. I'm just hoping we are beyond the bullshit now that there is a clear target.

Well I wonder if Seana and Ulku really died, hope they r alive. With Dark Falz already revived I wonder how things will go from here.

The cg scene at the end was pretty dope even though (reading from other comments) it's straightly taken from the game. Don't think Saena died there, but still sad that she got impaled by a possesed Gettemhult after standing by his side even when he did bad things.
