Tsukasa's mother sounded like she hasn't done sex in years, lol lonely old lady..

Silver knight seems like a good person actually, but he have a perspective of an annoying old grandpa, thats why people hate him...

Sora is a boss, doesn't care about anyone, not even the mighty voice.

''what do you mean ''like that'' ? then how should i talk? boo!'' xD doesn't fit him, Ginkan, at all.

I was afraid that Tsukasa could summon the guardian and then have it join voices with the other dumbbell against his will. Glad it happened the opposite.

Aura feet are damaged, wonder what was the cause for that happening.

So Tsukasa goes from a vegetable to afflicted with his worst memories, and somehow escaped.

But now the net slum.

A nice build up for the final events to come. I've noticed this series is nearly void of action so I wonder what they'll have to do to save Aura and uncover the truth behind the Key.

I really liked the fact that Tsukasa's mind was changed when the guardian selflessly sacrificed itself to protect him. Tsukasa was touched by that selfless act, and he now desires to have a connection to other people again.

Also, when the camera panned out after Tsukasa declaring, "I want to log out," it showed all of the group standing underneath a red torii gate. I'm wondering about the symbolic significance of that, because it was made really obvious by the camera panning out, so it was clearly an intentional inclusion. Apparently torii are meant to mark the entrance to a sacred space, so perhaps the meaning is that the group's little Net Slum is their sacred space, because it's the only place that the mysterious entity doesn't have access to. Thoughts?

There's lots to say! But all I wanna say is that I love Macha's character. I think that she/he will become a part of the team basically bc of the last scene. Macha was floating in the background and also doesn't like the "mother"/voice. Macha is fearful of the voice and has always tried to help Tsukasa.

The Net Slum is a really interesting place. I like the design. The big cellphone in the distance reminded me of FLCL.

Silver Knight and Mimiru's short discussion really showed him coming out of his shell. He doesn't seem to bad really. Sora was pretty cool rebelling against the omnipotent enemy, though I overall don't like him.

Tsukasa remembered more became much more confident. It made me personally feel good too. I guess Tsukasa is about to actually log out.

Is Crim a coach? He's words are really motivating.

We have a next flashback about Tsukasa and his/her cruel dad(?).

It was so nice to see them all at one place, of course besides our jokester Sora who wasn't hurt in "that place".

This high five made with arm(don't know if this have some special name) between Silver Knight and Crim was awesome, they really have become friends again.

Subaru is really dedicated.

The music at the end with Helba gate was amazing, well whole soundtrack in the .hack//SIGN is top notch(yes, it is somehow repetitive, but is that bad when music is so great? No), what else to expect from Kajiura Yuki? Though I was a little worried that it won't be as good as her music in newer productions(Pandora Hearts soundtrack was the oldest I listened from her, and I loved it), but I was completely wrong, she was doing awesome music then and she's still doing awesome music now.
