Welp, that was some good teamwork there. Nice one Akatsuki :3

Also, I noticed how useful healing magic can be...especially with the way Akatsuki's stats were affected. Nice. I thought episode was intense and wut, new skill? It looks like her training paid off so good for her. The fight was good overall imo and had non stop action.

First part was to spend some time for Assassin girl to learn her new skill, to create multiple shadows of herself. That is not enough, though, that weapon shop girl even gave her own weapon and adjusted it. The enemy also somehow showed multi-personalities at one point. With everyone's help, she was able to defeat him and destroy the sword. In the middle, with the princess's request, Yonaga-san's character finally agreed to help out.

Pajama party to cerebrate the victory. The main guy called, and continues with his part. Seems like his part of "death scene" is coming.

I'm starting to think that all adventurers got thrown into elder tale with their real body and not pixel like SAO. Here's how it happens, basically the fraction power summon all the players that was currently playing at that time into the world of elder tale, they can revive also because of the fraction power. Yea basically their previous human selves has been transform into that of gamer body as long as they're in that world. There's no hint at all that their real body is actually safely in their homes.

Akatsuki finally learns a new skill and this Teaching is really awesome: Shadow Lurk! Along with their excellent teamwork, they've finally defeated that bastard and destroyed that cursed katana! Woohoo, pajama party! o/

Good to hear from Shiroe again and he's congratulating Akatsuki from their victory. Now it's Shiroe's group's turn to retry their raid. Good luck, guys. And this has been a really great episode!

Really nice episode. Loved Akatsuki's development a lot. She's become even more lovable and even cuter <3 Her new red armor looked BA :D I like it more than her previous one.

The battles were really nice. Awesome team work and some parts had some really nice animation actually ^^

Shiroe's turn nxt. His POV incoming :3 Can't wait.

I'm typically not into healing magic, powers, or moves like in Pokemon, but this was really well done. The whole hit, run and heal strategy worked very well and Akatsuki's Shadow Lurk skill increased their chances to win as well.

Pajamas party at the very end.

Lenessia's character also grew a bit, she finally has friends and is true to her feelings.

I am surprised they can have a pajama party after deactivating the barrier.

Shouldn't there be a lot of monsters to take care off attacking the town? Now the town needs a constant border patrol and fighting unit.

Anyway cuteness overload from Akatsuki and back to Shiroe. I bet if Shiroe was leading that attack n this guy and cornered him like they did and made his "just as planned" glasses move, people will be calling this episode a lot more awesome but the blond chick just isn't as inspiring.

I wonder if we will get anything about Crusty in future episodes.

There are not that many monster near the town to begin with and most of them are low leveled ones u would expect to find at the begging of every MMO so it is not a real big issue.

The real problem is that infighting occurs or large scale raid events like the goblin king raid that happend before would cause real concerns but for now it is not a major deal.

Anyway i am so proud of Akatsuki, She has finally overcome her barriers and hes grown in strength. I only wish i had them same resolve but it does serve as an ispiration.

Looks like we are finally going to back to shiroe's group.

Ep 9 would go back probably how they got defeated in the first raid attempt. The part were Shiroe died and his talk with Akatsuki and than probably figuring out a strategy tod defeat the raid in the second attempt.

Ep 10 would probably focus on the actually raid itself and should conclude the parts of vol 7 by than.

As much as I'm happy that the adaptation is accurate, I fear that there's not enough source material to go on. Its been confirmed for 25 episodes and right now, the anime is at Volume 7, Chapter 4 with Volume 8 released only 2 months ago.

Knowing Deen, I fear for the worst...... >.>

The raid wasn't an actual raid like the one Shiroe is in. also the boss is a person of the land, not a monster. they dont res.
It is better for people of the land and adventurers politics if they managed to stop the serial killer without finishing off the person of the land who was possessed by the katana. They saved him instead.

The Akihabara raid being a success!

It was fun watching Akatsuki sharing all those hits against the boss and learning her teaching at that moment too!

Getting a new katana just made for her with other support like the freezing liner was pretty nice to see. Disabling the magic circle and finally being able to defeat the boss. Akatsuki's developments ^^

Shiroe calling just when Akatsuki was thinking about him. More Shiroe raiding!

As for the episode - do wish they had explained why Akatsuki had a complex about her size, it wasn't mere dislike of being short. Since next episode will have the flash back from Shiroe's POV there is still a chance they may cover it, though probably not. Shame, but at least they did a nice raid dynamic here to show how this group started to work together.

No need to fear, the LN is overseeing the writing, they still have the remainder of 7, volume 8 (which focuses on the kids going west), the web based story (with the Debauchery Tea Party lead coming in from Asia), and whatever the writer wants to do to tie up what will probably be the animated end of the series. So plenty of material for source material.

Plus Deen was only hired to do the key animation, they are not directing either.

The only thing i'm worried about is the deactivated barrier. I know there are only low levels but you never know....

I don't think shadow lurk is creating clones but rather illusion/after image. I say it's more like phantom image from Claymore, but on a higher scale where multiple phantom image are generated.

Amazing episodes. All that build up wasn't worth it tho,
but a great episode nonetheless.
I already knew Akatsuki is going to gain her ability, but its basically exploiting the game mechanics in a nutshell, that is what the Teachings are I assume.
Next episode looks interesting, Shiro loses his real world body apparently

This was a really enjoyable episoses on multiple levels but mainly cuz we finally got to see them fight. They added in a little kiting lesson and more world impacts like changing "flacor text" which I was delightly surprised they touched on. I wonder who wrote it though, calling Akatsuki, "unsocial" was amusing but would suck to have etechd forever on that weapon lol. Seeing her learn her own teaching was cool as well. Plus she got a new weapon! I was kinda surprised it came so late in the fight but it was a good way to finish off the climax. I have a newfound fondness of Akatsuki now. xD

I cant help but feel her weapon and Shadow Lurk is op as well lol. Oh well its good to see her finally be strong fighting-wise through her own awarness of her weaknesses. Kinda philosophical o.o

Even though they were all celebrating and happy I can't help but feel a dark foreboding of not having the magical barrier for protection anymore. x.x

The Good old Hit, Kiting, run, heal rinse and repeat strategy.
Epic shadow clon- i mean shadow lurk skill there. Akatsuki became abit OP with those gears and that skill.
Finally this bastard is out of the picture now onwards to how shiroe got party wiped by the bosses in the raid. Sure Akatsuki and her girlfriends were quite entertaining to watch. But nothing beast watching good ol magnificent bastard shiroe kicking some ass.
It's likely that ep 9 will show how his pt got wiped then he'll make a plan. Ep 10 will be the one with the battles. 2 weeks to conclude(hopefully) vol 7.
Then we can get on to what happen to Krusty.
The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars.
Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship.
And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now.
Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for?

To be fair, neither of the authors invented that skill. They both took a preexisting motif and used it.

You probably know this, but there are many people seem to think that the show they like invented everything and everything remotely similar is "stealing" from that work.

There is very few new things under the sun!
