jng2058 posted:You know, just putting it out there, but we've only got M's word...and he admits he "isn't right in the head"...about anything regarding Pito's motives. I mean I think we can take it as read at this point that Pito is Elsa Kanzaki, which could pretty easily make M a stalker fan who's just obsessed with Elsa and all the stuff with her threatening him and the like just happening in his head. Heck, he could have written the note himself. Well...got it half right. M really was a stalker fan, but Elsa is also messed up in the head. I'll take it, I guess.

Caphi posted:Miyu is what this show needed from the beginning. She seems to have flown in from an entirely different anime where subtlety, showing personality, and comedic timing exist. She instantly lights up every single scene she's in, even if she's just present in the background. holy poo poo she absolutely stole the spotlight

I spoiled myself on Pito's identity so whenever people said "I bet M's overreacting because Elsa's normal irl" I was twisting myself not to say anything but oh no it's all weirdos here. Sigsawa definitely found it funny to make the MC be friends with an idol with an IRL murderboner.

Revdomezehis posted:And as for M, He's gotta be in some sorta S and M relationship with Elsa/Pito right? I mean, it's literally right there in the name, and would explain the freaking out after reading the letter, afraid to disappoint and all that. Plus it'd explain his kind of embarrassed look when LLENN makes a guess about M meaning Mapper. I mean, this is an anime in TYOOL 2018 after all. Any of ya'll that doubted me on this need to watch more anime. I on the other hand need to watch less.

Show was good, didn't expect that from an SAO spin off 8/10.

Bless this goofy show and all the dorks in it. Especially the Machine Gun Lovers.

The one flaw in the denouement was that it wasn't the machine gun boys who had a win handed to them.

I hope we get an S2 so we can get to SJ4 where It's basically all the main/prominent girls except the Amazons and M on one super team.

For the record, Warframe is a pretty great GGO sim. Get a Volt, give it a Baza and a Heat Dagger, and paint everything hot pink. Boom, you’ve got LLENN with M’s shield.

I really liked how the "dead" tags just kept undercutting all the over the top death drama in the finale. All these hard fought wins and dramatic speeches ending with a bring[DEAD] to remind you this is just a dumb videogame.

"GGO is just a dumb videogame" is one of the main themes of the series, another one of those themes is "GGO actually really should just be a dumb videogame".

Or even just one or two strays at the edge of the firing cone to make it seem even more random. It's not like they had much HP left to begin with.

Yeah, I mean, a whole chunk of the climactic fight is dedicated to Llenn just going all "Pito, stop being a loving weirdo, this is just a game, games are meant to be fun, not vehicles to fulfill your deathwish"

I can't imagine a more perfect way for Squad Jam 2 to have ended. Llenn is unbelievable.

This show was better than I expected. Lots of rough bits, as people have said, it has some padding with too much talking. The action in the squad jams was excellent though and I was impressed that they had a callback to LLENN’s pink origin with the smokescreen tactic and tracking people via their bullet lines. It was a great tactic.

I feel like the show took a hard dive during the second Squad Jam. The beginning and first part felt like there was bunch of potential but the second part lingered in non-sensical triviality that wasn't even that entertaining. Literally switched off on the last few episodes because it was so dreadfully boring and continued watching after a few days. It was still passable but not the kind of "better SAO" I almost expected judging from the promising beginning.

imo show knocked it all out of the park and i'm yet again really looking forward to this studio's next anime because i've consistently loved all their work since flip flappers (haven't watched the two shows they did before flip flappers yet) would have been anime of the season but for hinamatsuri
