Suzuki definitely confirmed for stalker. She's like everywhere, even on the damn bus.

The awkward drama between the three main characters really has a weird vibe to it. Is it just me or is Izumi somewhat jealous? Maybe she's just curious, who knows. Felt like a date between the three of them. Suzuki saving kids' balloons 24/7. Action was okay I guess but I wasn't personally impressed by it

Was it just me or did the mark on Suzuki's bag looked a lot like the logo of the Suzuki car brand?
In the park after they got back from shopping that is.

Also the Student Council presidents new outfit is rather sexy.
It was also nice to see them arrange things with another school.

That flashback with the hide and go seek. That has to be Itsuki for sure. Kaichou is cute as always getting jealous in front of Itsuki. Itsuki x Rina <3

Suzuki seems like a nod to me. An AI so to speak. I mean for real, everything about her seems like an advance program. Even the way she can appear and disappear in the game.

Dat Hide and Seek... I don't think I've seen it in Anime since I watched a certain one... almost brought back the feels just from them saying "Ready" O.o doesn't help it was kinda sad in this scenario as well.

For some reason I feel this anime is going to come under supernatural soon.

I thought for some time about this Aika character and thought that she might be a NPC char from the game who can take form in the real life.
I'll tell you why I feel this,

1. The fact that she doesn't have any game consoles in her room when they show her room in Episode 2 and she was in the game the next minute just when they show Itsuki logged in but was not present in the room in real life when her classmates come to call her at her room.

2. The fact that she always speaks like she is in some battlefield with some army from the episode 2.

3. In episode 4 in real life she wears exact same dress as in the game in the fest. Even though in episode 5 she said she doesn't have any other clothes, including her ears being long like an elf's ears on which people around her commented that she looked way more realistic.

4. In episode 5 when Itsuki gave the report about NPC being very realistic like a high school girl, Aika told that he is very interesting and starts to stalk him. She has overly impossible and unrealistic athletic abilities as shown in basketball she was able to take the ball without moving even a step and throw it perfectly into the basket even though she was on the opposite side court.

5. In episode 5, Itsuki sees a character from the game behind Aika but later ignores it. But the same character was used by Aika to attack and enemy in the game later when she saved Itsuki and Rina. It cannot just be coincidence that Itsuki saw the same color and same size character in the real life with Aika in at the mall.

6. From Episode 5,
-The fact that she used the same moves as in the real life to take the balloon from a tree and in the game to while saving Itsuki.
-The fact that she told "Earth is really peaceful" as though she is not from the same world and even implying that wherever she has come is not peaceful.
-She denied becoming friends with Itsuki and Rina telling she doesn't have time for such things. Because she still has a lot of battles to do(?). This also explains why wherever she has come is not peaceful I told you about in point 2nd point in this 6th paragraph.
-She became angry when Rina told about Darkers, as though she has lost something important due to them. It's not like you have to become so much angry as it is a game right?

Maybe i'm overthinking things. But if you want to tell that this anime doesn't come under supernatural tag, then that means it's not yet officially tagged that's all. Because, at starting of Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry anime, it was not under Ecchi tag until Episode 9 was released. After Episode 9 was released, it was put under Ecchi tag. I used to come to that anime on myanimelist everyday while it was airing to see the forums so I remember it perfectly.

Lol, I almost thought it was a yuri when Rina blushed when Aika was at that pet store. I wonder who that boy was in Rina's childhood that found her. Watch it be MC-kun. Rina's new look though... lewd enough.

I wonder what Suzuki meant when she said people being hurt and killed.

Overall it was an ok episode. A bit of character development from Rina as well. Suzuki sure is mysterious.

More correctly, she's using a different character/avatar in the game (she mentions it being the first character she made, before SORO).

Pitty in the game itself we don't get access to the yellow bird (Rappy), though it was said that they intend to introduce more summons for this class in the future.

The switching between 2-D and 3-D animation in that fight scene was horrendous. The CGI just seems to get worse as time progresses; it was passable once or twice in previous episodes, but now...

Her first character...high five for randomization.

The ED is finally likeable to me. The first 2 episodes it was kind of annoying, then it became tolerable. Now it is just adorable.

good episode.
but the cast is really blind (like people in superman).
raika does obvious stuff far out of human body limit, and no suspicious reactions beside a 'wow,amazing', like it was normal.

Damn i didn't play the game because of the dull repetition and claustrophobic nature of it. But seriously? PSO2 is PSO2-ception? It seemed like an interesting little world, but i didn't want to have to repeat the same dungeons over and over to level up with no open world terrain or grand lore.

The episode does not grant many engaging ideas, during the narration, just some clue that suggests that there is a connection between the story is the PSO2 game. I wonder if from now on, will begin the real history that will lead to understanding the meaning of this anime series. The designs this time are not the best in quality and sometimes the CG is a little ugly, but they are small faults can be forgiven.
