Starting to catch up on this show... been so busy with other stuff... not reading your last comment though, since I have yet to finish the season! But yeah, man the writing for this is so well integrated. Lots of intricate details which aren't wasted in any way. And the adaptation to the anime...

That was a ... weird way to pit a group of people against another without the scenario of a competition... Overall, bit of a hit and miss situation this season, not having the focused story that the first season did.

The pacing this season hasn't felt that great to me. I never really gave too much thought to having real-world stakes, since in all the SAOs after the first, they've often felt somewhat contrived in how they tied in; but one thing that it did provide last season for LLENN was a major form of...

Catching up again... (and skipping over from reading comments for now...) Episodes 7 and 8: Was not expecting the story to take a dangerous turn... The sweets map ends up being more than just a summer plan. Question is... what kind of 4D chess is Osanai playing at this point?

Yeah, I think you're right about that. Rewatching the very last part, she does seem to be saying that he always leaves some sort of hint (probably more figuratively, in how he relates to her, rather than deliberately leaving a clue), that could potentially allow her to figure things out. She...

Up to Episode 3: Decided to check this one out, after finding out that the source material is written by the same author as Hyouka. So we can see the similarity in the rather mundane, everyday mysteries ... but like with Hyouka I think the main driver of this series is going to be the...

Two episodes of not just meetings, but scheming... :XD Also, must say, really like the new ED song as well. Free Veldora!

Huh, was not expecting the world to be trying to get the plot back on the rails. That probably is going to conflict with Yumiella's goal of not turning into the hidden boss, though. Alicia's powerlevelling seems to have gone well though. Over 50 already?!? And new shiny loot acquired all...

I like the characters and the premise. Rishe is a particularly fascinating character; her history and experience, and mysteries of what she has been through before, particularly provide a lot of areas to draw from for storytelling. Which probably is my main complaint about the series... that it...

I was... not expecting dragon egg. Thinking about it though... Yumiella stole the quest away from Alicia! :XD Story's way off the rails now.... how is she and the 'canon' party ever going to be able to handle the demon lord at this point? CGI dragon animation could have been better, but I'm...

Poor Patrick, though... (Time for him to go powerlevel!)

Huh. Was not expecting her to have realized the plot from the very beginning. At least it didn't end up a bloodbath, though Rishe certainly had the ability to turn it into one. Arnold recognizing that she had the capability to do so wasn't surprising, though teasing her asking if she punched a...

Negotiations, successful! But at the cost of proper rest and sleep it seems, and so the plot thickens (in which the maid and guard seem to be involved with as well). Why do I get the feeling that they're not going to have much luck keeping her captive, though... (Wondering more specifically...

Embrace the grind :grin2. Once a gamer, always a gamer, huh? That group of students is going to end up outlevelling the others, aren't they...

So... I guess nobody here has ever considered min-maxing and grinding, huh? :XD Though for her, that really was a really long grind... Hold on a sec, the daughter of the anti-king faction guy... is interested in the prince? That should go over well... Feeling like the plot's gone way off...
