| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ahhh its finally out. I still think 3 episodes is a little rush to adapt this arc but oh well. This episode was fine, the next episode is the real thing where its at. Really hope they don't screw up his big debut and comeback. I want to see Ye Qiu back on stage !! XD |
| All players went plastic surgery :P Like the part when Ye Xiu shows his face to Yifan when encouraging him. Hope Yifan faster join Ye Xiu ! gogo |

tfw no-one wants to sign up for product placement in your Chinese cartoon |
| I like the new style and fight animation I guess we need to wait for final episode for ye xiu |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
All those sad empty labels waiting for Wahaha and Tsingtao. I wonder if these shorts need their own page on MAL... |
| So much hype! Can't wait!! |
 |
| Not a big fan of this show,but it was a fine start. Art and animation are still the factors which are carrying this show for me. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| It's good to see this show is back, but it's shame it's only three episode. Some things are going to rushed. The animation looks fluid, but the art seems off to me. Those two duels were pretty cool. |

| [quote=Coranie]All players went through plastic surgery :P xD, this was exactly my first impressions of the episode. I preferred the old style but I guess it’s just about time before we acclimatise to this, just like with Oregairu. Overall, it was a nice episode. I’ve been hyping over this show ever since the first season aired and I can’t wait to see more. I hope we get to see Ye Qiu participate but, judging by how the show is progressing, I’d say it’s very unlikely. Nonetheless, here’s to hoping this short ONA series delivers exactly what the first season managed to deliver, action and awesomeness. |

| I'm not digging the new character designs, I like the previous one better(Although alot of characters look alike in there). Especially Yifan, he was my favorite character in S1.. Not I can't take him seriously with that haircut. |
 |
| I somehow like this designs better (for most of the characters), they seem to have more facial expressions, especially YX, who had a bit too much of a resting face in S1. The pacing is a bit fast, or am I just used to the novel where they repeated every chapter how the characters are prepared by the organizers, unless the players especially say they want to play with their own. Also they didn't really mention really mention what and how the All-Star weekend works. |

| I kinda like the new character designs for this OVA, even though it has some inconsistencies. Liked how the girls looked, especially the short-haired one. Still though, having a hard time distinguishing the guys; specifically the captains as two of them looked almost the same as the MC. 3 episodes after a year of wait feels not enough for me. I just hope it won't feel rushed. Liking what I'm seeing so far. |
 |
| the character designs changed but I still like them nonetheless. this show makes me want to start gaming tbh lol. nice epiesode :D |
| I don't mind the change in art and the minor changes in the character visuals, but I REALLY don't like the changes to the face off the MC both to the person, and to his avatar. The first episode went well otherwise |
 |

AnimeFreak-San said: is this a male gender issure...human issue...mental illness perhaps? |
| That was pretty awesome. While I like the new visual style I think I prefer the older character designs. Feels like they changed the character design a bit too much. I did not expect Tiny Herb's captain to set up such a compelling win for his rookie, that was really awesome. The captain really deserves respect for wanting the best for his team. Poor Yifan though, he picked the wrong opponent. :( Wonder if Ye Xiu will play in this tournament. |
 |
| AAAAAH it is finally there! So happy! I think the new style is ok. Not so much different from before. Solid quality overall, despite low res frames here and there. However it feels like they cut out too much from the book. They did not explain much about Yifan choice and why he lost. He lost because Ghostblades have two major builds - Phantom Demon and Sword Demon. First is strong as support and second is good in 1v1. He challenged the strongest Phantom Demon player. But the guy got scared and prepared and Sword Demon character, which he does not play usually. He did it to be able to play 1v1 effectively. However Yifan went with his support Phantom Demon build and lost because of it. The Pro guy just was too careful because of the pressure and chose better 1v1 build. Thus Yifan got rekt so hard. PS: everyone should read the book, it is so good! There are so many details and adventures there. |

| Goddamnn the episode was so epic!! Beautiful animation and art - the virtual reality stadium was amazing and the fight was nothing short of spectacular. Only let downs were the painfully low framerates and minor character design changes - couldn't recognise Ye Qiu's online character. Looking forward to the next few episodes, hopefully God Qiu' takes the stage! 8.5/10 |

| ugh why do they always change the artstyles |
| When its the next episode coming out tho.. I hope it won't take ages. |
| I really don't like the new characters design... wonder why it was changed so much... |
| I don't understand why people aren't liking the new art style. I personally find it to look amazing and much better than Season 1's. Season 1 had reused animations and even some errors, and weird-looking CGI. |

Is this a teaser for episode 2 or has it been released already? I can't wait for it, though I'm sorry they rushed all of this in 3 episodes.... so much will be cut out :( It's just a McDonald's CM. I think they're doing one CM per OVA. |
| Can't say I like the new art style. It looks too generic. I can probably get used to it, though. Story is still good and I'm interested to see what happens after this All-Star arc. I've read the light novels and loved them, so I hope the anime keeps up the good work. |
 |
| This new studio did a good job, I didn't keep track of the change but I did notice as soon as the episode started. I would like to see more of this type of storytelling and excecution for future shows. |
| the art looks different from s1, but the animation is better. everytime i watch this show i always think, "ah finally M logo instead of W" xD |
| Super excited that they are making more episodes after Season 1, even if it's an ONA, but I'm also sad that it's only three episodes. I wasn't too keen on the change in art style but I've gotten used to it at the end of the episode. I think Ghost Blade looked a lot nicer in the first season. The animation is pretty good and the action is great. Story is good and it was interesting to see Wang Jiexi use the battle to improve the morale of his teammate. It's also cool to see Ye Qiu's analysis of the battles. Also, I'm still laughing at how blatantly obvious McDonald's product placement is. |
