| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Meh the finale wasn't really impressive mixing the usual real world cosplay gimmicks fun with the PSO2 fighting in game. I just find the balance to feel very odd especially when one of the guys also dressed up as a maid L Pretty predictable ending as well after that battle. Yeah, overall pretty underwhelming show imo. I was hoping for a kiss between Itsuki and Reina at the end |
 |
| Getting Rina outta there would be hard. Meanwhile the other people of the council are... useless? The tone felt so weird as it was jumping between the game world and that school festival. Lol, Itsuki fell for a dumb trap. They showed that the kid that found Rina she played hide and seek was Itsuki. If people didn't realize that before, they're one dense human being. Also, Rina fanservice. Lmao, of course the MC wouldn't have balls to confess his feelings to Rina XD Meh series imo. It wasn't a good as a fantasy anime, nor as a school one. And the last episode was way to cliche. 2/5 |

| So in the end there wasn't a confession which is a shame but it looks like there might be more. Tho i doubt the last part since it probably depends on sales. It was a reasonable anime pretty ok. |
| Mmmmh it was annoying at the beginning of the series because of all clichés quite enjoyable to watch after 8-9 episodes and then, the end, ... that's underwhelming! The last attack with the power of the three characters was crap, where did it come from ? 4/10 for me |
| This episode was definitely underwhelming. I didn't hate this series, but I was expecting more from a PSO2 anime. The last few episodes except for this one weren't bad though i'll give this a 6/10 |
 |
| he didnt confess.... |
 |
| What and horrible show, can't say anything positive about it, 2/10 |
| I am seriously disappointed. What a way to bomb the show! Saw that ending a mile away. I was hoping that my pairing would come into fruition, guess not. It was kind of funny how Aika came out of nowhere and interrupted it, but I'm still disappointed overall. Was also disappointed how Itsuki saw Rina naked, let alone carry her (while naked). THAT COULD'VE BEEN A FUNNY MOMENT! |
 |
| BS. Our "couple"are idiots. They like each other but got no idea about it. Just another game bait. |
#CHEXIT |
| The action in the last two episodes were really great imo but this ending annoyed me.... After all that motivation and setup last week, this guy still doesn't confess -_- What a big let down I enjoyed this series overall, but I can't rate this higher than a 5-6/10 |
| Aika ruined things for Itsuki right at the end lol What the hell The speech before their final attack was a bit cheesy but the attack was pretty cool. I also liked the coordinated attack the whole group performed last episode It was alright but nothing bad or good. Just average. 5 or 6/10 from me I also felt reminded of that older anime, World Destruction or something, which I'm pretty sure is also an adaptation of a different game from Sega http://myanimelist.net/anime/4415/World_Destruction__Sekai_Bokumetsu_no_Rokunin Been years since I've played PSO but I'm a little bit more willing to try out PSO2. |

aloola said: Aika sacrificed herself and become Darkfalz Apprentice !? her hair's color in the ending part was changed. Thats actually not a bad theory, I mean I did notice that hair color change |
Just so we're clear, I'm a solo player. One or two days of being orange means nothing to me. — Kazuto Kirigaya |
AzureSymphony said: No, it's quite likely she just absorbed part of Apprentice's power. In PSO2 the "current" Apprentice, Eucrita, had pink tipped hair where Full blown Falz have pure pink hair. The Apprentice Gia boss they battled here is fought in-game during the Mining Base: Demise emergency quest in a weakened form, probably a result of Aika taking some of her power. So in a way, Aika now may be Darkfalz's apprentice? |
| Just so we're clear, I'm a solo player. One or two days of being orange means nothing to me. — Kazuto Kirigaya |
| Predictable Ending, No Confession, and just an overall disappointing end! I really wanted to like this anime more since I will never get to play the MMO. Overall I give this a 6/10! |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
AzureSymphony said: No, going back to Eucrita For reasons heavily tied in with the story of Ep 1,2 and 3 that Apprentice Gia monster is half of Apprentice, and as I said I heavily suspect that is what we fight during the Demise EQ. Her backstory is very long and complicated since it's one of the main parts of PSO2's plot, the anime didn't even scratch the surface. You see I never played PSO2 so I dont quite get the references xD |
| Just so we're clear, I'm a solo player. One or two days of being orange means nothing to me. — Kazuto Kirigaya |
| well... there goes the last episode.... doesn't know that Quna was a PSO idol... lol overall 3/5 |
 |
| a generic/cliche ending. a little bit dissapointed but overall;meh.... Rina didn't even care to the fact that Itsuki saw her naked WOW! GG! action overall still okay/ probably meh....i don't know, i didn't find it enjoyable. the story was a little bit enjoyable but overall okay.... i will just give it 6/10. meh series overall. not bad but meh... it could be better that this. |
 |
| Itsuki can be real dumb at times. He gets trapped in tentacles after he grabs fake Rina's hand who also happened to have evil eyes. But then he somehow breaks free rather easily and also saves Rina in a somewhat cliche and easy way. Screams and yells her name, Rina is now freed. At least naked Rina didn't slap Itsuki for seeing her naked. That would have been messed up. Itsuki sure had his moment there, carrying Rina like a boss. Kota what a G. Cosplay's in Aika's costume and gets thrown out xD Itsuki ready to make his move and put his arm over Rina. Why you gotta ruin the moment Aika? 7/10 Wasn't half bad. |
 |
| Really an final quite simple, I did not expect a grandest fight, but expected Itsuki and Aika experiencing more difficulties to save Rina and after the scene where Itsuki saves her, I expect to see starting from so a romantic development, or even the beginning of a harem, and when I had given up the idea, Itsuki finally creates courage to approach Rina, then Aika appears again, with some changes in your look, it left me a little excited, the romantic triangle not finished The anime surprised me a lot, I personally quite liked the plot and the characters, so I was very excited, but do not think it will have the same effect on other people, I certainly would like to see more about this work, I do not think there could be a sequence, but I cheer for that to happen .. This eyes ..  |
  |
| I actually liked this show in the beginning when nothing was happening but stopped liking it once the "plot" showed up. The last episode was so dull. 5/10 |
| disappointing final episode. The romance aspect was a complete failure. It's probably the most cheesy anime I've ever seen. Not great but enjoyable at times. 5/10 |
| Meh, I really wished Itsuki would man up and confess to Izumi but that didn't happen. I enjoyed it 6/10 |
 |
| Unsurprisingly bad with a story that hardly made sense. Too much PSO2 jargon and unreal "jump into the game and become a hero" moments. Itsuki saves Rina from the pits of some monster.... suddenly all three of them gather and spew some silly lines to execute some badass final attack... and THEN AFTERWARDS Rina suddenly asks Aika "What the fuck was all that we were just doing now?".... wait... what? Didn't you just DO IT WITH THEM?!?!? I can't take this show logically nor seriously.... it was just bad... 4/10 is already cutting it close... I any more cliche scenes and I probably would have lowered it to a 3. |

I any more cliche scenes and I probably would have lowered it to a 3. You said it hardly make sense but I still don't know whether you understand it yet in our conversation last time -__-'' since your last reply is still the opposite of what happen well I understand that the final attack is cliche and make the final episode really bad the entire second half fight scream "This is one of the worst final boss battle I have seen" All I can say to you is that you seem to have some vested interest in saying good things about this show. Not sure if you're a hardcore fan of the game who can't take criticism, or someone paid you off... Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I normally rate shows on how logical the story is suppose to flow within the confines of its setting. This show in itself wasn't billed as a parodical comedy, and yet it flowed like one, which is why each thread has me picking up on all the inconsistencies and illogical stuff within. If you don't like it, that's your opinion, but there have always been several points in even my past posts in this series' threads that you either fail to answer even now, or ignore because you cannot debunk. Try explaining the Rina "Hero-badass final move" Chant and subsequent "What the fuck are you are doing here?" moment first before trying to pick on other people's posts. |

Try explaining the Rina "Hero-badass final move" Chant and subsequent "What the fuck are you are doing here?" moment first before trying to pick on other people's posts. LOL did you actually read my comment ? I feel silly now to have to quote my own comment to someone who didn't even care to read other people post "well I understand that the final attack is cliche and make the final episode really bad the entire second half fight scream "This is one of the worst final boss battle I have seen"" Is this a good thing about this anime to you? This also answer your stupid question too ( it stupid because you just don't read my comment and ask anyway ) You didn't even read my comment again so YOU are the one that should not be take seriously now You said anime logic is fail but not listen to explanation carefully When I fully explain everything in details you just went "silent" and resume with "This not make sense" here and didn't even point out where it not make sense Now you said like I'm a fan who didn't not talk bad about this series? Nope normally I just "Don't care" about anime-only viewer opinion It bad that ok I know it "very bad" for those who don't know the background story but your logic and understanding is really "that bad" that why I quote you from the start A very "Special" case at that and you just so full of your own "opinion" base on misunderstanding to the point that you refuse to listen to other It's pretty hard to reply when your own answers don't make much sense, not in structure nor comprehension-wise. And cliche doesn't begin to explain the question that I asked you. It's not a "cliche", per say when a character does a "Final Attach Chant" and THEN goes and starts asking "What the fuck is going on?". It's poor writing and structure through and through. You still haven't "explained" it. And since you yourself admit that you " "Don't care" about anime-only viewer opinion", you've just admitted to being a biased fan of the game. Well unfortunately for you, I don't play the game, so technically the only thing that matters to me when watching this show is whether the story is coherent and makes sense within the confines of the setting presented to us IN THE ANIME, which in my own opinion it DOESN'T. The fact that you are defending this show based on knowledge of the game that wasn't fully presented in the show just goes to show how bad of a series it really was. If anything I could compare this to God Eater, another game adapted into an anime, which I have also never played. Unlike this show, the setting in that title actually made sense and there was no illogical plot points flying around at us every other episode. I had no issues in understanding that show from the word go. It's not about whether the game was good or had sufficient lore to back the game up. In the end, the adaptation is meant to be one of two things: 1.) To present the story and lore of the game in a coherent manner to stir up interest in the game itself to those who have not been introduced to it, or 2.) to be used as a medium to tell a good story to the audience. On both counts this show failed miserably in my books. Only people who have already played the game will actually be able to relate to anything that was shown in this series, so in the end it feels more like some wish fulfillment show made purely for hardcore fans of the game. And yes you can say that I'm full of my own opinion. At the very least I'm assessing the show from an objective standpoint based on the fact that I am an anime-only viewer that you so explicitly discriminate against. So yeah, please explain Rina's Final Move Chant followed by her "WTF am I doing right now?" moment? I'm still waiting on your "explanation" based on your apparently vast knowledge of the back story for this "Sacred" game of yours. |

mickbis said: Rina not understand of what happen is 50% part stupid and 50% part bad writing that it simple as that. In fact everything happen so fast for her and no one actually explain it properly. It also possible that she think "That a Dream right?" and play ignorance to the reality So good of you to finally admit that there are issues with this show, which is basically what I've been stating since several episodes ago. Was it so difficult to admit? I think not. Have a nice day. |

| I like anime with an MMORPG theme. I thought this was good. But it has its flaws with inconsistent plot. I even found the ending to be disappointing and rushed. But I still enjoyed it. Overall 7/10 |
| A meh ending for a meh series. Felt just about the rest of the show. A little bit underwhelming when compared to other shows that aired this season. The final scene hinted that there is more story, but I'm not sure I would watch another whole season. I'd rather they made a remake with an actual plot and character relationships. All in all, I'll give it a *fine* since I at least managed to stick with it till the end. |
| Guess its time to play the game now or watch someone play it. Hmm does Aika have part of Dark Falz's powers in her??? . |
| As expected she gets saved. Finally done with this. |
| Decent show i guess. 7/10 Disappointed with no confession. :/ Itsuki going to become the president huh? Off-Kai :o Never had one so far. I have met online friend in Japan, but that's about it. Yea, this show didn't make me want to play PSO2 tbh lol |

Were you really expecting a full cour mid-budget production? If you want to understand this anime down to the core play the actual fucking game. The entire show is literally just a promotional jig for PSO2's recent big update. |
| I was utterly unimpressed. Maybe it's cause I've seen too many speeches during those critical times bringing up past memories and such that I was like seriously? This last episode ending was pretty lame to me. There was one person in it that I still don't get what she actually did. That blue hair girl that that captain/leader asked for a favor. What was asked and what did she do when she changed into that other character? Did whatever she did make a difference? |

But still, Itsuki or Rina could of at least confessed, I wanted to see that happen =/ Still, a second season would surprise me a lot |
| .. wasn't this going to be 20something episodes? Not sure I'd watch a 2nd season or not. I guess the action was alright. 3/10 (bad) Watched for Rina. Best episode: 4 |
