Don’t you hate it when the mission you think you’re acing turns out to be an escort mission.

Somebody on another site said it nicely Alphonse Elric turned Barry the chopper. Personally she reminded me of Kaiju No.8, who also has the same theme.

You know it is getting serious in an MMO when there’s only a few players on the field and there is lag.

Game threw the party into scenario EX with a belated announcement, to Sanraku’s annoyance.

We are reminded that Sunraku is a gamer at heart. He acknoledged the lag’s significance, analyzed the condition for Ctarnidd’s appearance, and treated Araba as an event flag. However, I think (hope) his worries about whether bringing Emul along was the correct decision went beyond treating her as a essential event NPC.

I wonder how forced unconsciousness in this VRMMO was done. It seemed like Sunraku really passed out rather than the screen just blacking out.

Sunraku is separated from other party members and there is a 7 day time limit. The city do have save zones so it does not have to be a marathon run.

Fish man: Hey birdian! Sunraku: No you misunderstand…

We got a rare mention of another kusoge Sunraku played. It was fun to hear him say “sometimes the best solution is not to fight.” when we see him eager to fight most of the time.

I don’t know what to feel for the seiyuu of that mermaid, got paid for a job but your only line was just hissing.

So now the inverted city is introduced and we know why the key visual was drawn that way.

A pretty good start to a new quest. Ctarnidd CG stood out a bit but wasn’t bad. The animation studio deserves praise for keeping quality up.
