| It's ok Sunraku. Losing to the #1 player isn't a shame, at least it's not against some bum. As expected, he goes out his ways to find a way to win. This is the most Sunraku thing I've seen from him because honestly, he's always trying to prove himself. |

| The rust fight was pretty dope but anyone else think this feels like filler? I’m not saying it’s not in the web novel but it just feels like such a radical departure from where we were just at the start of last ep lol. Seeing the Nephilim Hollow world has been cool and rust seems like a dope character. I get why Sunraku rage quit after he couldn’t equip his rewards but I’m starting to miss SLF |

| Was expecting a snap in two, but she got away with losing an arm. |

| Great second episode! The classic formula for shows like Nephilim Hollow is that you introduce the world in the first episode and the rival in the second. Even with the structure being simple, the execution was incredible! The 3D looks really good, and the storyboards make nice use of it. This game has an interesting mechanic! It's a bit like Pokémon, in the sense that you capture a Nephilim to use, but that's only the base! You can use parts you've collected to customize your Nephilim, which are probably only compatible with some types of Nephilim etc. I can see the Attack on Titan influence as well with the rampaging titans and the importance of their napes! Also I love how the MC never paints his Nephilim... Overall, I'm a fun of this new anime! |
| Really good fight but Rust had the experience. I like how Tama was really happy to help out Sunraku. That 2nd fight is pretty awesome as well, great hit but I don't think it's over yet. |

| What's with this boring mecha BS? If I wanted to puke I'd just watch Gundams or something. Give me vorpal bunnies!! |
| I really wish they'd just cut out this filler, leave the anime a few episodes shorter and use that time to polish the main story episodes and make them even better. Or use that time to make 1 or 2 additional episodes of main story. |

This is not filler 💀💀
| @kookool17 Even if it's part of the source material, it still feels like stereotypical garbage shounen filler, and it seems many watchers agree. If it feels like filler, it should've been axed and the work used to polish other parts. If this arc is anything like in the first season, it has absolutely no impact whatsoever on the main story anyway and would only help the show if it was cut out completely. |

| I'll just say, that I don't find the camouflage not working with fire and smoke a major defect, but a perfect choice, recreation and a good mechanic. Camouflage working as a jack of all trades is the lazy ways, honestly this sub-game is looking even more god-tier than shangri-la to me right now, the only difference in both being that shangri-la is clearly one designed as a mainstream enterntaiment and this one clearly as one of those niche games that has a community that rarely reach 10k players but each of them is 100% dedicated to it and knows every crane and aspect both in and out the game about it. |
| Waifus only represent ideals |
| The animation looks very great. All the characters looks very detailed even back ground characters. And for the fighting scene it's really cool too. |
| Oppai check! 111 cm: Hancock 110 cm: Zoro 100 cm: Robin |
| so let me get this straight, to get the full party for Shangri-la, MC collects players from other games, where he defeated them or played with? So we have to learn about those games and the story behind them for us to understand where these players come from and what history they have with MC? Feels a bit too much detail for what it gives. |

| @d0main I think you’re right, and I agree. Could have been a quick background info moment when he is sad in SLF and mentions out loud the Nephilim game, someone overhears him say that, idk. Make it at least one episode shorter of playing this other game lol. I’m assuming Rust is the SLF ninja hand-signing player with a samurai Vorpal Bunny shown in the OP, which I am excited to see |
 |
| Oh no, we're not doing SLF now...we're in the other game! LOL |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Another great episode of SLF—I mean Nephilim Hollow. Sunraku perfectly embodies what it means to be a pro player. The fact that he could somewhat keep up with Rust, the top-ranked player, even though she had the help of her operator, while being "rusty" himself after three months away, is impressive. On top of that, he managed to build a Nephilim in record time to counter Rust. The lore of this other game could easily stand alone as its own anime, but unfortunately. |

| Is this entire arc a semi-parody of Armored Core? |

DragonLioness23 said: ugh.... I'm annoyed...a WHOLE other episode dedicated to another game.. and people saying "this is how a real gamer is, they play multiple games" this show is not about the lives and habits of gamers... it's about this game he discovered called Shangri-la frontier.. even IF the purpose is to introduce you to his other rivals, you don't need entire episodes to do it! that could've been explained in a flashback easily...a season only has so many episodes.. the fact that we've spent TWO so far on another game means less time from advancing the story in SLF and you're left feeling like u didn't get anywhere in the season and have to wait for the next season... that's what's frustrating... The ironic part is the show starts off with him being addicted to playing "broken" games. But I agree the two episodes stops the momentum built in SLF. Nevermind he was told there is a way to remove the curse effect during that 3 clan metting, but I digress. |
| Wow, I never expected to get sucked into a completely different game from the main game of the series, in a three-episoder short, but here we are. And so far it's great. |
