Very interesting to see Roe2's personality...... also the sulfur on the mountain road seems pretty sus in my opinion.
Good EP over i reckon.....

I'm surprised that Nureha didn't see Roe2's similarities to Shiroe.

When you hit cap level = you already get used to people with same armor look :heh:
(Though only few people have hardest end game gear)

And it look like someone have Onee-chan fetish :heh:

Toya you choose wrong women to fall in love...

Yea, In many online game. End game gears usually less than 20.
with update it may increase with new gears but if you play long enough you will feel it too common to see same gears.

I think I'm starting to like Roe2 more and more now.

I wonder if Nureha has some of those mobile temples inside her Maglev-like train since Plant Hwyaden are planning to invade Akihabara? On the other hand, seeing the Odyssey Knights holding the mobile temple like they're having a funeral procession is creeping me out!

Anyways, I'm hoping that Minori's party are safe 'cause even though she's being manipulated by Indicus, Nureha is still a threat!

Some okay scenes. But found myself very bored.
Looks like its going to take like 3-4 episodes of really bland buildup before anything will happen.
I'm fine with buildup, but all the buildup style we had the past few episodes and here is just people sitting in a round circle talking. Its not particularly interesting or unique exposition either. Its just stuff that you expect to happen, they're just now empathizing it by re-confirming the circumstances with no spin.

I was always under the impression that the Odyssea Knights were a guild of their own, but it seems like they're in PH.

The town of "Boxroot" mentioned several times in this episode is Hakone in real Japan.
Hakone is written as 箱根, box and root. :heh:

Perhaps an honest and straightforward boy like Toya might have a good effect on Nureha. Someone she doesn't have a history with and who isn't out to use and/or exploit her is surely a plus.

I can't help chuckling when I saw this :D :

Well that wasn't the most exciting episode, but oh well.

Does seem there is never ending troubles for that town. Maybe a given though. The longer people are legitimately living there the more need to build up an actual society and systems. Now have a question of what to do with the unmotivated, poor, and those lacking resources.

Of course all the suggestions coming from the guy in the shady guild are well...shady. Purely ridiculous ideas like taking money from the wealthy and dumping it on the poor. Maybe a tax system is necessary, but something that arbitrary will just lead to the wealthy leaving the city and going somewhere else. Like dealing with foreign businesses, you can't afford to just drive them away.

Nah, Nureha run away to enjoy bit of freedom, I very doubt she is in mood for plots and backstabing...

It wasn't mentioned in anime yet but...

Tohya & Rudy...pffft they should have taken up Roe 2's offer of scouting ahead with those skeleton summons!

Roe 2 is a pretty fun gal, and the vampire subclass did bring some chuckle worthy scenes.

Making an instant revive mini temple was an interesting thing to hear / see. But it sure does seem soul sucking. I suppose an advantage would be in a raid, people wouldn't really need to rely so much on healers if they revive on the spot like that. Unless they were to be all wiped at once. :heh:

I thought Roe 2's actress sounded familiar. She's Fujimura Ayumi who voiced the lovely Miwa in Bartender.

This whole arc has left both me and my daughter pretty unmoved. Maybe if i were fourteen, I might find the juniors more interesting, but they're a pretty dull bunch overall.

Lol, Roe 2 liking being called onee-chan.

Tohya sure fell in love with the wrong person.

I think it's funny that the arc I've been waiting all season to see is the one everyone finds boring :/
Oh well. I loved it. :)

Of all the people Tohya could have fell for it to be her.

By the way, I would like to point out that the leecher problem, which has more in Honesty, is similar to the hikikomori phenomenon. My concern is that once the wealth redistribution law has passed, they'll get the same benefit as well.
