They definitely remind me of some people I used to code with back when I worked on MUDs. "What do you mean it's not fair that my super-special quest NPC can one-shot players in a game with limited lives? They should just do the quest perfectly on a blind run."

As for the story progress, it seems that the story-line dev wanted them to tackle the superbosses in a very specific order, but players are being players and getting fixated on the wrong boss (Schwarzer Wolf) or keeping the boss secret so they can use it to farm xp (Ashura Kai).

There are some implications on WHY there was an order and why the boss they name dropped was the intended 1st one to fall.

I am absolutely mystified that people are hung up on them not checking loot immediately.

Yeah I mean I check it, but it's very much an "eventually" type of thing when I know I'm safe and not gonna get ganked or something. As for not asking about Bahamut, with the amount of people I STILL see being completely clueless about the story of Elden Ring, it's not something that I'm surprised about.

People exist who have played mmo games, so this reads as immediately unrealistic. You kill a boss mob of this almost unprecedented magnitude, you are checking the loot an attosecond later, period.

Anyways can I ask a manga question? I’m at the part where he cops gilta brille and Sunraku says he doesn’t have the level to use it, then the very next chapter he… uses it? What am I missing here?

I'm not 100% if memory is correct but he equipped some gears that bumped his stats just enough to wield them. The loot thing I can buy in the context of Souls games where you get a rare drop form a mob and pick it up where the game will briefly flash what it is, but since you can't pause you gotta either have noticed it quickly, have killed everything else around, or gotten somewhere safe before you look and see what you got(I've gotten killed due to AFK like this a few times). Similar applies to BotW and TotK where I pick up a weapon and know what it is, but not the stats until I can safely check(easier since I can pause).

This is where I initially thought the double-wide would stop, on the escape scene. It seems like a good place for a dynamic season break, though there are definitely a few things to set up from here.

And I'm pretty sure we still got another 4 episodes left so the train keeps chugging along. Trying to think where the endpoint will be.

I do hope they get to do more seasons. So many things I'd like to see animated:

The 2nd fight with Lycagon
Emul's brother Ceecrue and his PC ninja friend
and of course, A-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-AMEESE!!! :syoon:


100% YES to that last one. I was hoping(still am) that we get to the Professor.

Be a tad silly if they don't, considering they show The Prof in the opening credits.

I mean they showed Akane and I'm still not sure if they'll show her.

Anyone here read the web novel, and if so, how do you feel about it? I love the anime but if I'm going back to the source, I would be inclined to go aaaall the way back to the source rather than read the manga.

I've not, but the discord I belong to for the series has all kinds of info on the series from the WN including artwork of stuff from MUCH later.

Oh God. The professors voice is so much better than I could have expected. It has to be the best casting in the entire show.

Hearing that voice out of that body is as hilarious as I had hoped it would be.

Super hoping they introduce his wife to add to the dissonance since she's basically Helck.

holy poo poo october is closer than i could've ever hoped for

i wonder what all and how they'll make things fit into a second season

My prediction, we end things just before the tourney arc and that's the hook for the next season.

New Chapter is out if you know where to look.

Rei really is the most absolute BEAST player in the game. She's like a combination of the "Can't stop (Havel) The Rock", "Tarkus is better than you", and Giantdad all rolled into one and it's awesome.

Overcoming physical resistance by powerbombing one guardian into the other guardian's burning corpse sure is one approach to the problem.

Collide those big numbers, Rei.


That's why she's the Attack Holder.

Besides the...actually you know what, Inwas gonna say something about Rust being one of my favorite characters, but everyone in this series is my favorite character. Asking me to pick one over the other is like asking me to pick which is of my dinos in ARK I love the most when I love them all equally.

Edit - There's being a bro, then there's Kei levels of being a bro.

I'm sure it's all part of his plan to recruit Sunraku into being a pro-gamer.

Was thinking about that when I saw that he was the one calling. This could well be one of the best WN/LN mamga adaptations out there with how good the manganka is at adapting things. Not just the artwork, but the writong and pacing just WORK.

I genuinely appreciate that the art never gets horny nor is there a token pervert. It’s almost weirdly sexless for a modern battle shonen, but I’m actually finding that refreshing.

You know I've noticed that. Like you said, the series is indeed very sexless in general and yeah it's legit refreshing in that regard.

there's no time for horny they have unique monsters to fight

New update! Looks like it's time to see some more VR games, because we had too much plot recently.

To be fair, everyone else on Team Ctarnidd is off-line atm so why not show off some of the other schlock Rakuro has dined on. For real though, some of those games like Nephilim would make awesome series(or games) in their own right.

Edit: Forget the Tourney Arc. I wanna see this chapter animated NOW!
