Hated the new OP, but the pixel art for ED was the bomb! Warm fuzzies for the return of Emul, who gets big props for the hit on Lycagon. Rei-shi is peak, and liked our two new (well kinda) characters.

Sunraku: "it's time for the climax"
--Episode ends in another cliff hanger --
And no SLF theater mini at the ends is the lowblow to close it out. Great episode though!
@Coollikespyro I miss it too. I wonder if we ever get to see it again???? That would be a pity of we didn't.

So Akane is indeed another player that knows Sunraku from a different game, just like with Rust and Mold. It's interesting how the other games and players Sunraku has played with have have become relevant to the SLF universe.

I think that Sunraku will end up being successful in taking down Lycagon as he has figured out a major weakness, that being that Lycagon cannot take magic-type hits, and also due to the number of episodes spent on this fight.

The new OP is so good, it really put me in the mood to see what comes after this battle. Great song and visuals let's go! This was another great episode overall. I really like how players Sunraku has met in other games are going to be helping him in SLF. Rei-Shi powering up when she realized she still has a chance was a nice scene, I wonder if she will ever have the courage to let him know how she truly feels about him. The Ending song was not as hype as the OP but I did like the animation and how they gave it an old-school RPG vibe. Looking forward to how this battle wraps up, the battle with the area boss, and the lore surrounding the next Colossi Monster.

New OP! And I mean, in terms of music, it's probably the weakest one for sure. Visually, it's up there for sure. Think I just need a bit more time getting used to it.

Straight back into the action with Rei being thrown around by Lycagon and ALMOST FUCKING DYING??? Thankfully, Akane comes in just at the right time and saves her, and yeah, she's a favorite already just because of that. But clearly she ain't a favorite to Lycagon lmao. I mean, girl was PISSED because she took Sunraku's attention off of him. Poor girl got NTR'd xD

But yeah, I assumed that Akane was gonna be someone from another game that Sunraku has played, I even went as far as to think it was actually Rust, but nah it was that one guy who found that bug in Berp when Sunraku hopped on in season one.. lol. Anticlimactic but yeah. Most of the episode was just setting up the plan and Sunraku's resolve for this fight, which means the next episode is boutta be CRAZY.

I feel like the 3rd OP is the weakest I actually like this new OP a lot better than the last one.

Specifically this episode felt like it was dragging on the lycagon fight for quite a while. Hard to get impressed by akatsikune with just a substitution skill. Hope there's more to the character! That being said next episode definitely gearing up to being a banger.

Akane is finally here! Does Rei-shi have a rival now???

Still not used to the new OP but I like the ED a lot! those pixels looks cool.

The visuals of Rei-shi's final apocalypse + the start of her ultimate chant was so damn beautiful, how could they left us out with a cliffhanger!?

I guess next episode will be the Lycagon finale?

Sunraku doesn't have time to think about it and is probably nicer than me but I'd still be pissed about someone jumping in on my boss fight uninvited like that, especially after seemingly manipulating the NPCs into getting them there to begin with

all I gotta say is they'd better win now that she's there. looks like the shadows will be abundant with the clouds coming back, hopefully someone's got a light spell or smth to keep Psyger-0 safe during that cast

When most good animes are dialing it back around episode 12 to kill expectations due to a lack of source material, Shangri-la with back to back two curr seasons, something never seen anymore (last one being Full Metal Alchemist?)

Anyways, I LOVE that it looks like the studio and content creators are going full tilt for the second cur of season 2.

An OP theme destined for my nerd-nime playlist

An introduction of a whole new set of characters in the op theme WHICH btw if you didn't notice, was power level 100k

And this is before I actually WATCHED episode 13, I saw that opener and had to share

Cheers!

It's one of the best episodes so far. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Sunraku being able to analyse an opponent so well will never fail to impress me. I didn't expect the BERP player to be such an elite gamer. The combat was on point as usual. The way Nightstalker was smiling and switching targets🥶🥶🥶🥶. They might beat the Nightstalker here or at least make it super cautious of crossing paths with them again.

Ooh so much information in the opening. Did we get another colossi?
From the beginning, this Akane girl reminded me of Miss Miaso from Kenshin. Especially given that she is a ninja. :D
And Ceecrue's seiyuu, i like so much :3

Huh? It's somebody else...I thought she would be Rust. Oh well.

They haven't prepared for this fight, and mere surviving it up to now has led them lay out most of their cards...and Lycagon might have other tricks to show them still.
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

New OP isn't bad, definitely not as good but that's to be expected following up a LiSA song.. unless you got Bump by Chicken or FLOW but that's expensive lol.

Banger episode they did great animating this fight so far, can't wait to see how things go next episode. Akane is one of my favorite characters love the whole Ninja aspect she brings.

Okay, I'm lost. I thought Dragonfly was a boy but it seems she was a girl all along? Uh, unless I was the only one here assuming she was just a boy with girlish voice...

Fire episode. Fight against Lycaon has reached its climax and I seriously can't wait to see Rei's ultimate attack. Little sequence with her starting to charge it looked so dope, btw.

As for the new OP and ED, I like the visuals but both songs leave a bit to be desired. Especially the OP song, which I think should have followed the same "heavy-rock" approach of the previous ones.

Episode 13 was amazing! Akitsukane’s first fight and her Substitution Log move totally saved Psyger-0—without it, the battle would’ve been over way too soon. It’s also great to see Emul back! Plus, the reveal about Lycagon being made of darkness instead of a physical body was huge. No wonder she’s weaker to Mana and Magic attacks like Emul’s Magic Edge. Also, the presence of NPCs in the fight really upped the stakes since if they die, they can’t respawn. Can’t wait to see what happens next!

New Intro is good but... not something I'd put on my playlist.

I didn't really like blue hair showing up half way, here's why: it's a boss fight.
If you can just show up half way a boss fight and interrupt that's really messed up. You could steal the kill or do various other things. You could skip a big part of the fight but still get credit because you participate at the end. So basically that just feel wrong, this is supposed to be a videogame so even though if it were "real" that trope would work "I have arrived just in time to save you" in a videogame that's silly. It allows for abuse and in general bad behavior.

Damn 5% after just flying in a circle, I think it could have been a little more efficient with it's energy there... but oh well.

Outro was pretty neat/cool.

It's exactly the same as literally every game with "World Bosses" in an open world...

Anyone can join into the fight at anytime.

If it was a bad behavior, no game would have World Bosses, LOL.

.

That was awfully polite of Lycagon to stop attacking to let them have a little meeting/reunion in the middle of their fight.


I mean... the Lycan did this quite often, where the wolf just stands still and let other ppls talk for a while. Like Sun's first meeting with Lycan or the Zoo, letting them set up before the fight. The Lycan seems to do this everytime there's a new player that enters the fight.


Also, Sun figuring out the Lycan in mid battle, yet again, LOL

So the Lycan... as expected, is a mana spawn by the "night". So the "Zoo" might actually had a chance if they had used magic attacks instead of just tanking and debuffing, LOL.

.

BTW... so... was Ninja girl... an actual girl the whole time? I thought in the other game, she was a dude as Dragonfly with a dude's body... or is she similar to the Library Loli, where a guy plays a girl. Tho the voice is girly unlike Library Loli.

Akane Akitsu finally made it and she's the girl from before. So yep she's skilled, the mark from one of the seven colossi was obvious indicator. New OP/ED sounded like random screaming.

I'm loving the new opening. Seems this second half will be introducing a lot of new characters and probably a new game.

Akaneakitsu's substitution technique was very useful in saving Rei since she needed a lot of saving. I didn't expect her to be the new BERP player from season 1.

The ultimate attack is ready but I doubt it will work if Lycagon is made of mana.

Akitsuakane saved their asses. But, it's good that they got the outside help. My baby, Emul did her best as well with her magic which helped a lot distracting Lycagon and now Psyger-0 can finally use her finishing move. Good going, Emul. We love you.
