To be frank this episode was a bit of a letdown for me. It does explain why the Emperor wants to see Seras dead, why Civit is so bloodthirsty, why Touka didn't use Pigimaru right off the bat against Civit... but the manga chapters do all of those in a more exciting way, less as "passing comments" and more as part of the plot, you know?

Plus the scene where the Emperor was losing his shite thinking on Seras is way funnier.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still watching it, and I'm enjoying the series. But it could be better.

Of course they'd put Luce on the foreground, with the main character (Elma) on the back. Still, the picture looks really good, and as Phelpssan said the series is solid. I'm going to watch this one for sure!

As another user said I'm giving it one more episode, but seriously considering to drop it.

[–] lvxferre@ani.social 1 points 11 months ago

I'm guessing it because I didn't read the source material, but Kai and Sid are likely the same person. It seems like there's some sort of time loop going on, not just the world going into a "what if". (If not Kai himself, Sid must be someone close to him.)

I'm still flinging back and forth between "I'm glad that I picked this up" and "I'll keep watching it because, why not?". But my overall impression is really good.

Oh, they skipped the part where Touka destroys the inn's wall by buffing Pigimaru up!

Touka is genuine on wanting Seras' help, even if so far it's always him saving her arse. It's less as a bodyguard though and more like a walking lie detector.

As well as the similarity that Seras sees between the Princess and Touka - unlike other people, they're looking at what she can do for them, not just for her beauty. So far the anime did a poor job explaining it, but Seras is in-world so beautiful that she drives people mad lusting over her.

Telling Seras to take off her clothes is not in the manga. I wonder if it's from the LN or anime only. Kind of cringe but still funny.

The relative slow start of the series paid off really well in this episode.

One aspect of how the writer was written amazes me: Sensei's trust on Annette feels natural. Because it isn't based on wishful thinking or something like this, it's simply knowledge - he's really good at analysing people, to the point that he knows Annette's strength of conviction better than Ysha, even if the later knows Annette for longer.

As well as his words still resonating within Annette - "you aren't a caged bird".

There's also some nice tragedy in ~~Pochi's cheat skill~~ Suzuki's divine gift being a replica of his experiences in Earth, only with the roles switched. (Pochi is a common dog name in Japan, by the way.)

I was genuinely surprised that the devs are still active.

Ditto - to be frank, I didn't remember it from the manga. And now I have no idea if the devs don't know that the debuggers are trapped, or know it and can't bring them back, or know it and can bring them back but don't care/don't want to.

Fuck. Got to admit that I love this sort of drama. Like 2B realising her feelings for 9S, and 9S getting that small proof of affection from 2B (being called "Nines"), only to be a bit too late.

I also like that the bunker went kaboom. Yorha androids being able to come back to life removed a bit of the tension of the world. Like, who cares if some main dies? BRB, with slightly less memories.

I should feel bad for this. (I don't.)

That's a black company for you! Every debugger is trapped for ages inside the game, and yet the devs are still active, and reading the bug reports!

You know, the "dragons'" design is silly, but it grew on me. I like how derpy they look like.

Yeah Seras, sorry but you're on the verge of collapse. I'm glad that Touka cast sleep on her - she's a bit too honest for her own good, and understandably paranoid.

It might be a cliche, a character archetype, a trope, a setting, a theme, anything. Which are the ones that make you enjoy the work more? Which are the ones that you hate to see? And which are the ones who you'd be fine with, if not so overused?
