| Hmm, I kinda like the world building this anime is getting. Plsu, the mission had a catch that Sunraku himself wasn't expecting. I like how he's still being resourceful with items. Never change Sunraku. But damn, it seems he always gets faced with the nasty monsters this season. At least he had help this time. |

| Inverted city arc here we go! I can tell I’m gonna like this the most out of all the limited events we’ve had thus far. The area is so expansive and it feels like a post apocalyptic vibe where there might be other survivors Sunraku encounters to help out with the zombie fish hordes. Love a good old resistance trope. Ruluiath is a massive city with a ton of places to explore and items to loot presumably. With it being a 7 day event period, I reckon this’ll take us right up until the end of the season. Araba’s fun so far as well. He’s got some big shoes to fill to follow up on Setsuna from the Wezaemon questline. Excited to see where this goes. Animation generally looked much better this week, mermaid fight was brief but looked good. |

| In this episode, Sunraku faces off against the boss of the Crying Innsman, a formidable enemy... That was not important and they falled into city by attacked ctarnidd and sunraku found himself alon in the deep water city. He now wants to find his friends Animation quality was always better(Used CGI). I like the ep. Hoping for next week. |

| once again, i really enjoyed this adaptation it is beautiful and they did a great job with the scenes the jump etc, it was really like a video game |

| Sunrako you jerk. Emul better be alright! |
| Damn escort missions, they are probably the worst kind from any videogame since your escort tends to act on their own and put themselves in pure danger (yeah, the Spyro 2 one probably scarred me a lot). Interesting new atire for Rei, I didn't recognize her at all but now that explains one of the characters from the ED. I wonder who the other 2 are. Regarding the new inverted city, not only the gimmick of a sunken city is really engaging but an inverted one of the likes of Castlevania SoTN is really something. And those restrictions are rough as well. One week to beat the boss? Can they even log out at any point? Because that would be Gran Turismo levels of insane otherwise. |

| Honestly, I was expecting an underwater fight with Ctarnidd, but an inverted city can also be interesting. I guess it makes sense why they wouldn't do that; no one likes underwater levels... Speaking of making sense, now I understand what's happening in that poster! I was so confused when I first saw it! (Btw, I like the voice of Araba! I'm surprised I've not heard this VA before.) |
| An inverted underwater city, it's as fascinating as it can get. The visuals aren't the best, looked way more majestic in the manga but nonetheless excited. Btw if anyone has any game suggession with anything similar, feel free to recommend me. Araba's a fun addition and Psyger-0 in Samurai armor looks sick. |

| @rasterman7 I vividly remember taking turns with my cousins as kids with the Gran Turismo resistance races. Project Cars at least allowed you to set autodrive after 10 laps for the 24h le mans whenever you needed a rest. In the episode already answered your question just before the mermaids scene. If you are not being pursued by the fish mob, you can save and logout in any safe zone (which seems to be any house you can enter). My only irk with the show is, why not just DM the rest of the party? Is there no party chat? Is a thing I don't understand in this kind of videogame anime, a lot of times they go too much in the "a real world by itself" side.. |

| @CorbanEsp Yeah, Le Mans was exactly the example I was referencing since my best friend had to take turns with his cousin in order to do that one. Regarding the logout, I thought they said something else but it must have been either a mistranslation or me nto reading properly, thanks for the correction. Finally with the party chat, I'm guessing that it might be blocked for these events? Or maybe Sunraku used to ignoring it, who knows. |

Nice to see the underwater city, good episode! |
| I have no idea why, but I absolutely love this siren art concept! There’s something about their aura and sweetness that’s just indescribable... The way their charm blends so seamlessly with their camouflage is brilliant—I don’t even know how to describe it. Well... I just wanted to say I really loved the design and how these camouflaged sirens were brought to life <3   |

| From experience, I know that water levels are usually some of the most difficult in video games. Although in this case, it's more of an upside-down city, which is pretty cool. I'm really liking how this new arc is shaping up, I just hope nothing bad happens to Emul. |
 |
| Yeah I am really amazed over the world building and make me wonder where is everyone are . :D |

| Ah man this inverted city stuff is cool asf, its too bad they only get 7 days to explore. |

| Sunraku has the Luck of the Irish! I guess this is to be expected with him dumping so many points into his luck stat the way he has. I really like how he realized this was an escort mission. They are really leaning to in the many different types of mechanics and quests available in game. This was another great episode that setups up the rest of the season nicely. This looks like an expansive new area for him to explore, level up, and gain new items. The inverted city makes sense with what the quest said when he entered the area. I am really looking forward to how this goes. |

| Finally in this arc, but I want to see the tournament too, that the next EPS has soon |
| hello, just a brazilian boy who likes anime |
| You can tell this guy loves videogames... Lag when loading a big ass enemy LOL |
| Okay it's taking an interesting turn in this reversed city, and Sunraku has a fishman friend now, I like him. But yeah it's insane how the whole world is reversed here, the sky is underground and the sea's depth is the ceiling |
 |
| Confrontation on the Crying Insman being actually an Escort Mission was an exciting twist. Rei-shi's alternative armor looks dope, btw. Nice episode. Really excited for this Inverted City arc. One thing I wonder tho, is why Sunraku doesn't just DM the other party members to know their location. I mean, pretty sure there's some restriction regarding that but would have been cool if it was pointed out. |
| Truly a gamer at heart, he immediately deduced based on his past encounters the most likely conditions they unknowingly triggered for the next phase to unfold. And here I thought we were going straight to fighting the unique EX scenario boss now! 😅 |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| I wonder where the others are? Could be they all encountered different events entering that upside down city? But they're all in a party. And what happens to npcs like Emul? |
 |
| Sunraku arrived a a city under the sea, which is actually an inverted city! Surprise after surprise! kekeke |
| An inverted city? Sounds interesting, lets just hope Emul and others are safe. Rei looked like a boss herself in that new gear. The animation is good as always. |
   |
| An entire week in an underwater city? It seems that the big boss battle will have to wait a while. Sunraku's panic when he realised it was an escort mission was strangely funny to me. |
 |
| Yeah escort missions suck especially since the NPCs are usually pretty dumb and don't seem to care about their own lives. In this case Sunraku was able to hold off the mobs until a unique bonus scenario started in a very interesting looking area. Hopefully his teammates including Emul are safe though. |
| We're in a new city, and we have to face the new Unique Boss without any preparation. Sunraku always falls for these things. LOL. I hope Emul is safe. |
 |
| The Unique Scenario having one more extra person...or rather having to babysit Stude with Rei transforming into one of their kin for easy maneuvering. But the fishmen enemy ae nothing compared to the kraken that is Ctarnidd of the Abyss dragging everyone down into an inverted city. Both the Unique Scenario and its bonus being more a reference inspiration to Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End with the inverted Abyssal capital Rurulath, and Sunraku is left alone trying to find Emul and the others, only to encounter the mob of fishmen chasing after them. Needless to say, both Sunraku and merman Araba have to work together in the 7 days that this city will exist, to counter all sorts of enemies from the fishmen to flying merfolk. Getting to learn that the inverted city of Ruluiath is a city upside down from the sea, that's only the first step. |
