| Haga's debugging skills comes in handy after all. He even got assigned a task to debug creatures in his adventure. As far as the episode goes, it looks like he found someone who draws manga in their world. One thing he and Nikola should be aware though is to never drop their guard in that world no matter what. No episode next week. |

| That floating cat was hilarious, haha. Well, this episode was surprisingly sad. R.I.P Ruu. :( I definitely didn't expect to see such a shocking death scene. |

| Haga and Nikola just work so well together I always love their interactions and the fun they have. |
The OGs of t posing  But damn, this anime hits you with sadder parts than it has any right to. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Yeah this show isn't clicking with me, I don't think this is the right balance between comedy and drama. Most of the show is light hearted so the tragic scenes are kinda ruining the fun for me, it feels like the show is trying to distract me with goofy humor just so it can shock me with something really dark at the end. Though this time it didn't work cause it was pretty obvious that something would happen to Ruu since Amano was supposed to join the group. |

| It's literally like playing a game and is supposed to be a metacommentary on that. A player going on a murderous rampage and goofing off with bugs or OP powers affects the in-game real lives of NPCs. Undertale weaved this concept into its storytelling very well. Maybe that'd be more your speed. |
 |
| I wasn't ready for the feels : ( , it was obvious what was going to happen and we already knew he was going to join the party but not like this... I only wish the NPC would have rotate in place instead of moving their heads to look while bugged but I know it would have been a pain to animate it, Nikola is so cute, when she finally got to sleep on a bed or when she was reading the manga. |
| Finally moving on to volume two. I'm liking Kawashima Reiji as Amano, his voice fits very well the character. |
| I really liked the story on paper but I think this needed to be stretched over 2 episodes. I would have loved an entire episode devoted to Amano and Ruu meeting/ building a bond over the manga then next week we would get the sad conclusion we saw this week, that way I think the emotional pay off would have hit so much harder because we spent more time with the new characters - but as it was all packed into 1 episode I didn't feel too much other than a fleeting sadness when Ruu died and Amano swore vengeance. |
 |
| The T-Posing at the beginning was nice and fun. Glad bugs are still being fixed, so it's not like Haga's way of life is hopeless at all. The ending to this episode was pretty tragic though. If this game keeps its lifelike NPCs having permanent deaths upon dying, I see it traumatizing its playerbase. |
 |
| I was completely stunned when they showed her sliced in half. I never expected a scene like that. |
  |
Damn… from T-pose to tragedy, what a good set up for a revenge story, I too want those evil debuggers to die a horrible death.  |
| There is nothing worse than never getting to tell the whole story to your best fans...especially since he loved her. That was so hard to see, I almost cried. I am so fed up with that debugger, killing them won't bring Luu back and it certainly isn't even close to the pain they deserve. |

StateofOhayo said: killing them won't bring Luu back and it certainly isn't even close to the pain they deserve. It remains to be seen if human players can even be "killed". It seems like at most their characters would be able to be so, and then they could just revive and respawn right away. |
| Hah, the NPCs being stuck in their T-poses and floating, it certainly looks funny for a village and its people to be stuck in that position, Haga assumes his debugging analysis. Haga and Nikola get their work's done in a day, and truer than most, the bug is fixed, but the Seekers themselves need to verify that the bug's been fixed. That's at least the case for Fether cat person Isora Amano who realizes that the T-posing bug has been fixed, and deals with both people with Invisibility, though it's still viable to track his whereabouts to the small house where Luu resides. Amano, once being part of Play-Ing's group, leaves due to their crude ways, and he's been part of a subquest for Luu writing manga for her in his own basement. Amano leaving Play-Ing's group to find the exact T-posing village and activating Luu's subquest of a girl where she can't move her legs, he's been stuck there ever since for 6 months, writing manga for her. And to think that the same group would use the dragons to destroy the village, Luu thankfully was salvageable, and if ever given the chance, Amano would want ot stay and take care of her for all his life being a mangaka...that is, if she didn't have her body separated into two, thereby putting her to death. Tesla acting through Nikola to finally put the death throes on the debuggers who're destroying the game, nothing says more set than having to go through the game to eliminate the same group of people. It's a revenge story now, that's pretty much confirmed. |

| I usually never post here, but there's something that I don't quite understand. In the first episode, we're told that Haga saw Nikola die many times because of the quest she's associated with. In this episode though, we're told that every NPC is unique and you can't bring them back - but then what about Nikola and her village? Isn't this a contradiction? Or will this exception be explained later on? |

| @Yuufa-san Tesla needed a vessel to communicate with Haga and so she revived Nikola because she was the closest NPC around. Yes, it will explained later on (it's stuff from volume three). |

| @WatchTillTandava To be fair, that one guy got kicked out of zone and into an abyss, which I think is way worse than death, but yeah we need some more details for sure. Maybe an eternity of T posing Lol. |

| In episode 1 Haga said no matter what the village could not be saved because it was a fixed outcome, he'd seen Nikola "die over and over in different ways." So I was a bit confused by NPCs dying permanently here. Even if Tesla resurrected Nikola as a voice/vessel, what about all the previous times? Haga did say he'd abandoned the quest for Nikola's village again and again, so maybe that would reset things and prevent a permanent death until he finally finished the quest? That's the only thing I can think of and even then that's fudging the "permanent death for NPC" rule. Also trying to remember if they ever called this game they're trapped in an MMO. Permanent NPC death would be disastrous and an impossible amount of work to replace. And if there's permanent death, with debuggers giving up and now just killing and torturing NPCs for fun... how many NPCs are in this game? Wouldn't they be running out of them by now? Skyrim and Cyberpunk had over 1000 NPCs but if you and the boys are playing NPC darts for a year you're going to burn through that pretty quick, right? The other big "wait, what?" moment this episode was things getting fixed after bug reports. How... how did it not get mentioned until now that that's a thing that actually happens? Especially when the evil debuggers were messing with Haga and trying to recruit him? I assume it's AI, but you could see it as an argument for multiple perspectives. Things are getting fixed so let's debug the game and see what happens. Or some people or AI are fixing the bugs we report without actually helping US so let's burn the world down and see what happens. The AI didn't show up to thank Haga for his work, it showed up because the other debuggers were tearing things up. That's the only contact they've gotten since they've been trapped. Anyway, wall of text. Other than all that I liked the episode, it was kind of sweet and I respect the brutal 180 and how it didn't pull any punches killing off Ruu. I really like Amano as a character, more than Haga to be honest. Can he be the main character from now on? |

| Of course you don't know what's going on, mysteries are supposed to be captivating; where's the fun and what's the point in revealing big plot points early on in the story? Also, don't forget that the original comic is still ongoing and far from over. |

| Haga explained it. Nikola and her village are a part of the main quest thats why haga was able to "restart the quest" as per the games rules - Ruu is a procedurally generated side quest character so in the end its just dogshit game-design really. |
MofujiJul 28, 1:44 AM
| I'm a little confused tbh. I could swear in a previous episode they said many debuggers had stopped reporting because they weren't even sure if the devs were getting the reports. But in this episode they reported the bug and it got fixed so clearly the devs are still receiving the reports and know they are trapped there and working on it no? Or am I completely misremembering and they didn't actually say this. |
My Candies:       |
| It has already been said a few posts above yours: Nikola's quest is a fixed quest that can be restarted over and over again while Ruu's quest is a unique procedurally generated quest that Amano randomly discovered. Why did Nikola ultimately survive the burning of the village? Becuase Tesla revived her and changed her character's story to ''left the village to follow after the seekers'' so that she could get away from the doomed village, help Haga and become a vessel for the meta AI. What about Ruu? Just keep watching. |
| I knew it, i knew something was about to happen to Ruu Dammit, she was only an NPC but she was so likeable and that scene was done way too good...her talking about her legs and then life leaving her eyes, legit made me tear up, i am weak with this stuff... That blonde dude is really pissing me off, can't wait for Amano to get his revenge Dumb permadeath setting... |
 |
| NPCs have only 1 life??? Well, that's very unfortunate. Feels bad for the fluffy guy... His screams were legit! Props to the VA. Yeah, those POS debuggers must die. That guy who fell under textures deserved it. The rest should suffer too. Now that we know that deaths are irreversible, all those tortured and killed NPCs we saw being toyed with, will not come back - so the debuggers are murderers. There's no quicksave/quickload here. Considering how those debuggers don't give a F, I wonder how entire cities aren't deserted by now. I'd expect them to kill civilians for fun (out of boredom), so how on earth are there still NPCs around them? Hmm... but if NPC's have only 1 life, how is Nikola still alive? How did she "evolve" to begin with? Nah, I find the AI sketchy as F. Think he could've resurrected the disabled woman, but he wants the world to "feel real" so he doesn't allow resurrections on purpose IMO. Wonder if debuggers can resurrect NPCs with debugger stones. |
| To be bluntly honest the sob story was mediocre. |
| The t poses were pretty funny. I loved the part with the cat. Not sure who is scarier, Amano or Luu. Luu dying at the end was a really sad scene. |

| >this is not a fairy tale >people die when they are killed said the ominpotent AI taking control of a dead NPC still alive that also died multiple time when the MC debugged her village. Oh well, at least it avoid the drama when she respawn without memory and author didn't want to explain why nicola can at this point of the story |
| This whole t-posing thing could've been funnier if we saw them actually doing stuff and not just have them be still images most of the time lol like maybe have the kids run around and playing while they're stuck like that and just have things floating around and glitching out lol but I think that might've been a bit too much for this animation team... Also are you telling me they didn't notice that one dude who wasn't t-posing? And wtf? Bugs are still being fixed. They've not been completely abandoned, because bugs are still getting fixed as we saw in this episode. I thought Haga has been sending those bug reports without seeing any actual change or getting some kind of feedback but nope. Someone on the outside is still there, and yet they haven't decided to pull the plug on anyone abusing their power even though it's ruining their game and slowing down the debugging processing? What sense does that make? Wait... What is Tesla talking about? So they're not allowed to bring Luu back, because they're "unique"? What about all those times Haga saw that village get burned down? Wtf was that? Obviously that wasn't him reversing the event with the village... And if it can't bring back Luu, why did it bring back Nikola? I think that might be what killed this anime for me LOL the animation and art can look pretty bad at times, and the plot is starting to contradict itself and unravel, and I can only imagine things get worse from here. lasodamos said: >this is not a fairy tale >people die when they are killed said the ominpotent AI taking control of a dead NPC still alive that also died multiple time when the MC debugged her village. Oh well, at least it avoid the drama when she respawn without memory and author didn't want to explain why nicola can at this point of the story @lasodamos Dude exactly LMAO the story is starting to contradict itself, and I imagine things only get worse from here. How can they explain Nikola being revived then? They even gave her memory back. How come her village kept coming back? Haga mentioned he saw it come back and burn multiple times, but why? It's not supposed to come back the way it did, as the way Haga talked about it made it seem like it was exactly the same. And one last question, how come the devs are letting all this happen? Like they're just going to let those asshole's run around and abuse their power even though it's slowing down the debugging process? Why would they do that? |
