  • Elsaria found out what Aht meant when she said Elsaria had never seen how the Seven Heroes fight: against the people they were supposed to protect.

    Aht almost died from her wounds but Köinzell gave her some of his blood which transformed her and gave her some of his moon-power. She didn’t get elf ears though.

    @rikka@ani.social :

    We already knew Barestar went off the deep end from the previous episodes. This time he showed up in his flying castle and started blasting everybody, including his own soldiers. I can see Elsaria’s report of his war crimes getting longer and more colorful.











  • The animation quality was quite jarring for parts of this episode, but at least Elsaria wasn’t drawn badly.

    @rikka@ani.social :

    She was a daughter of an Elector, so fairly important it seems, and of the Order of the Seven Spears along with the mysterious young man who also wanted to fight the hero killer.

    Edit: We did not get the vol.0 story, instead just a very moody Rozen trying hard not to tell the mysterious young man something.





  • Reyva had a good start working at Takumi’s place.

    Takumi had some problem naming their party, it didn’t help when he had to do it the same time being thrown around physically by the guild master.

    Akane found out more about Sidonia, and it was not looking good for her. Akira turning darker and darker was concerning too.

    Sofia was first angry that Takumi got hurt during training, but when she watched them she turned into coach-mode herself.

    Sidonia finally clashed with Takumi. Luckily he and Kaede were resistant to poison. He also wasn’t as weak as he looked when he trained with the guild master. His body was made by Nolyn-sama afterall.

    Wings of Nolyn, assemble!



  • So many emotional scenes in this episode.

    • Köinzell finally getting his first revenge
    • Laying to rest those controlled ladies
    • Geranpen’s backstory and apparent fate
    • Priestess announcing “A star has fallen”
    • Zeffi mourning Fargo
    • Reunion with Peepi and Altea
    • Köinzell showing the gang the place he held dear
    • Then saw it desecrated with Schtemwölech’s funeral
    • Aht, Peepi, and Altea deciding to follow Köinzell

    Rozen’s scene seems to say we’ll get to find out the story of Volume 0 in the upcoming episode, which should be a good thing because I have heard anime only viewers finding the story confusing and skipping V0 is one of the reasons.



  • For IOS devices, by default has “fixed” randomized MAC per network, i.e. each Wireless network you join sees a different MAC, but they’ll stay the same even if you leave and re-join (or even delete and re-add). So, it should not hamper MAC filtering since your AP will see the same MAC from the same device, unless you’re running more elaborate setups like multiple APs (I don’t know how IOS treats that).

    This can be changed on a per-network basis in any case, so it is possible to turn it off on the device just for your home network.



  • 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.
