Meh this episode felt lacking in the first half. Maybe it's because of the weird buildup and Suzuki still acting alone with discrepancy.

The action was better than I had expected but the whole thing felt rushed. Tachibana also felt like he has some lack of nerves in combat. Didn't help that Mika got involved and Suzuki managed to make the save. Fairly predictable.

Reality and fiction are starting to overlap.
And it seems even in the game itself things aren't like how they are supposed to be.
Things are starting to get interesting and i wonder who that girl was that allied with Aika during combat.

Seems like things are starting to get interesting. The game is sucking people in and Suzuki is rescuing them, though this was not really surprising. Looks like Itsuki is going to try to figure this out.

Overall, this episode was ok. Not really too much happening in the first half. I did like the fighting scenes though.

No one is going to mention Itsuki's power and skills massively increased as he went to save Rina and then he powered down and was out of breath when Kouta appeared. Seems like that power drains a lot out of Itsuki. He was probably pressing all the buttons and somehow unlocked the new power.

New character appears, she made quick work of those enemies. Wonder how strong she is.

And it appears Itsuki is finally realizing that PSO2 is hiding a mystery.

This episode was fairly interesting. Maybe the most interesting one so far. Now we actually have a plot to work with.

I didn't felt like this episode was rushed, and with 5 more episodes to go, I hope we are rewarded for our patients with this show.
Looking forward to the next episode.

Phantasy Star Online 2 is a game, an online action RPG.
The anime takes place during the 2 years gap between Episode 3 and Episode 4 of the game.

Well, they finally got around to the subject they should have been broaching 5 episodes ago. It was always obvious there was going to be some form of overlap with the game, so the only real surprise was that it took this long to get there.

OMG an online game which sucks....... people in!!!!!!!
This is so original I haven't see it coming. Such mystery.

Ok, now without irony: the plot is finally getting somewhere. This series isn't so bad as it could be (at least we don't see too much fanservice).

Lol at that cut in the hand of the girl, no sign of blood

You get to the head of the affair, better so, maybe now begin the most interesting part of the anime series. Drawings a bit down, ditto for animations, but the thing that interests me now, is that it develops the plot well, Itsuki as the protagonist do not really like.

The real story is finally starting to happen. All the cliches are being used in this episode lmao. Konoe got kidnapped to the game?
Aren't they supposed to advertise that PSO2 is good? xD

Okay episode, got boring in a few parts, but had its moments overall.

Yeah, the guy is always at fault. Don't worry Itsuki, you did nothing to offend her. She's just an annoying broad.

I had the feeling, that she was never in danger. The enemy would have sent her back, once she starts to get on their nerves. Just kidding.

Finally some mystery and it's getting really interesting.
