| Well, they're actually serious about going to find Haga and her friends. Gotta say this episode took them on a more dangerous journey than I expected with the amount of monsters that were in their paths. Haga is very determined in his goals so I admire his fighting spirit throughout this journey. His personality is also being slowly fleshed out. |
 |
| Nikola and Haga's dangerous adventure continues. I hope they find a way to help Haga's friends. That hand monster looked quite creepy. |

| Really nice episode to a very enjoyable series so far, Nikola and Haga work so well together. |

So, the AI game master shows up and talks to you and you never once ask what happened to the developers and why you can't log out? Wouldn't allowing the bad testers to log out also solve the issue?
And what was the point of visiting the temple?

| @Mirality Good point about not asking the AI why the hell they can't log out, I wondered the same lol and I hope it to be addressed next week if they interface again. RE visiting the temple - I think he wanted to go and tell his friends he was going off to try something new (the story) and would be gone for a while. |
 |
| We got an actual mission for the two main characters, the AI said that they should keep working to finish the game, I imagine it is Tron rules where time inside the game in much slower. |
| Another great episode, something really unsettling about his friends being stuck in the glitches, reminds me of playing MMOs in mid 2000s but the added detail of me actually feeling what it would be like to be stuck in a death loop or half ghosted through a floor for a year is really scary thought. Nice work from Monica Flatley switching from cute companion to sinister AI. Another show that has a rating on MAL and CR that does not represent its quality IMO, seems to be a common trend this summer. |

| Never been a fan of mustache twirling villians, it just cheapens whatever kind of storyline the author is triying to get to. The sudden twist of an IA being the culprit Nikola is still alive also feels kinda meh. Not to mention it feels like a cop out not to show what happened to Namiko after she ate the tablet. I'll still watch some more episodes because I'm intrigued where this new events will lead to. |

| @Mirality Haga brought Nikola to the temple because she insistently wanted to meet his remaining companions and also because he wished to see them one last time before departing once again for another journey. |
| Wow those coin boys look creepy. |
| Haga's comrades met a cruel fate(frankly it's a bit funny too lol) |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I love the enemy designs in this game they're so delightfully disturbing OH BOY T-POSING GUARD #7 |
| Censorship is vandalism. |
| Those disgusting debuggers are killing NPCs like it's a toy... Disgusting. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Now that was an unexpected development. AI is asking to eliminate debuggers. Should we assume this AI is responsible for removing Logout button? Who else would? I'm left with an impression this AI wanted humans to fix and improve the game (itself) and basically took debuggers as prisoners. Wonder if that's the case. T-posing NPC coming at you must be a nightmare fuel when you're stuck in the game :D |
| At first I though it was just unique drawing style, now all I can see is inexperienced artists or at least whoever is doing frames between key frames. Can't say am overall interested in the story. |
| You've heard of "If you die in the game you die in real life" but "If you glitch in the game your stuck like that indefinitely" might just top that. Also, Haga's got to beat cheaters without cheating himself. He has his work cut out for him! |
 |
| Nikola sure caught on the jobs of the Seekers being debuggers, for good or for worse. As both Haga and Nikola make their way to the Advent Altar, Sakai goes back to his boss to report on the findings, though as debuggers themselves of Play-Inc, they're not particularly good people. Still, for what seems like half a day, they took rather long to reach the dungeon...and Nikola gets tempted by the Coin Boys enough for Haga to come haunting it, leaving Haga to save her out of its sacrificial event. Turns out, the Advent Altar also houses Kuro and Namiko, being stuck to their positions ever since they can't log out the game, using debug mode to enhance their own entertainment. Only him and Jin remain serious to clear the bugs, as with Jin joining a party to see if the game can be cleared. But to have an NPC like Nikola being controlled by the debug stones through Tesla, the meta AI that runs the game, requesting Haga to eliminate the debuggers who try to use debug mode for their use. In a way, Haga getting rewarded by the meta AI to extradite debuggers not doing their work, it's karma coming towards those who don't obey its rule. |

| Why are Kuro's pants down? He's been trying for a year to pull him out and he never thought about pulling up Kuro's pants? What has ...ok I'm not going there. Why didn't he ask the game master why he couldn't log out? Or perhaps what happened to the outside world? He didn't even bother to ask about Jin after being told he was the only one doing the job. |
| I don't quite understand why Haga seems to be referring to it as a game and using gaming and digital computing-based terminology with Nikola and she accepts it and engages in the conversational exchange without seemingly any reaction about this seeming extremely bizarre, regarding the world being "broken" and such. I get that the setting of the world of the video game is a fantasy world roughly analogous to something like medieval Europe in terms of civilizational development, culture, and technology, and so video games and their consoles, computers, digital interfaces, etc. themselves and the entire concept of them don't actually exist within that world for Nikola or any other NPC to recognize as such. But even if video games never existed in our own world on Earth - or even back 70, 120, 500 years ago when they actually didn't, wouldn't someone referring to the world and various aspects within it as if it's some broken artificial thing with glitches lead the person being addressed down the rabbit hole of some crazy religious or philosophical existential crisis? |

| @WatchTillTandava Nikola thinks that the world she lives in is broken, incomplete and malfunctioning for various fantastical reasons and that King's Seekers like Haga (only Haga to be precise) are fixing it because it's their duty. It seems that at the moment the meta game aspect of flagging and debugging stuff is kinda lost on her. |
Armio said: plus the ai seems to just ignore him saying that stuff, which is probably what an ai npc would do in a real game as to not break the world setting tbh In other words, it doesn't sound "like anything" to them. |
| "Here are my friends" *cut to guy with ass sticking out of the floor* How... what... never mind. Seriously, if I were glitched into a wall or a death/rebirth loop for a year because someone was too self righteous to get me out of with the debug tablet when I got out of the game I'd find him and punch him in the face. The AI showing up was an interesting development, especially this early, but left some big questions that I don't think there are any satisfying answers to. Why didn't Haga ask them any questions about his situation? A year trapped in the game doing mundane debugging and this is the first even slightest hint of a possibility of an answer and he doesn't jump on it? Also, if the AI wants debugging to continue, why not reveal themselves to the humans? Knowing there's some sort of power in the game or actual purpose for it is going to motivate them. NPC darts is kind of scummy, but then again I'd make sprawling urban capitals and then crash meteors into them and kill thousands in Sim City, so who among us can judge? The pace has been surprisingly quick over the last few episodes, but I think would've liked a couple to just take some time and have Haga show Nikola more of the ropes and build some camaraderie. Oh well, I'm enjoying it so not like I can complain that much. |

Can't say am overall interested in the story. Yeah, sadly. The story is not very well written either, Whole "conflict' between debuggers is pulled out of thin air, as well as this "master" AI, etc. I liked the concept and implementation of "coin monsters" also some stuff here and there was worth watching, but in general quite meh episode. Will wait couple of more before dropping, though don't have high expectations :/ |

| @nick_el_son it did have potential and if nothing else it's a fresh idea. Even if it's not new it hasn't been reused to all hell. Sadly the execution is severely lacking. |
| Crawling around in grass slowly was hilarious. Nikola being swayed by gold coins was funny. After seeing what happened to his workmates, Haga is a smart person for not using debugging. |
