I can't decide what I think of Subaru. Sometimes I think she's genuine, and sometimes I think she's just a spoiled brat. I can't decide which I believe to be true.

Haha. Tsukasa is such a little emo kid. But he's grown on me.

so bear seems to have trouble with his kid, i guess bt was right in saying people want fictional lives as a medium for unfulfilled wishes in normal life
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures

So Bear has a son that's playing the game as well. I'll find it weird if my parents played the same game as me.
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~

Every time I watch this anime I have the itch to go play WoW. Pretty good episode, more flushed out on Bear. Makes me like this character more. He seemed really fake before this episode.

Subaru... The way she acts honestly makesme think that she knows him outside of The World.

Pretty sure some of these characters are connected in ways we don't yet know about. For example, BT (or was it Subaru) is probably Bear's wife or sister, as the last scene implies.

I just find it amusing that Sora is probably a bratty little kid, since he did once say he'd be grounded or somehow punished by his parents if he stayed up too late.
Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut.

I thought about that possibility (BT-Bear) too. He didn't exactly said 'grounded' neither mentioned his parents, but yeah...i find it hard to believe due to his personality tho, it is not how some child would behave, because besides his childish behavior he also seems pretty mature deep inside.

So who -originally- wrote the message, was it the girl in that other 'dimension' or maybe the voice ? if that's so, Tsukasa already reached her area...is that where the Key of Twilight is?
I feel sorry for Bear, he seems a good ossan.

I should have known there was something more between BT and Bear. Oh and his kis is a dick, but I have a feeling that Bear has some responsibility for that.

As for Subaru she just seems woefully naive about everything.

I liked seeing the new character development for Bear, and yeah I do wonder about Bear and BT. The insight into theKey of the Twilight was something but not much. While it is mysterious, I think it needs more. I don't know if this was the strongest episode.

Bear is one of the best characters and I think his plot is one of the most real ones. I hope that soon we can see how more plots advance and connect in real life, which seems quite depressing and emo x__---x

Either the creator doesn't know how to write dialogue or every character in this show is just plain awful at expressing themselves for some reason.
