| New arc also means a new vibe. Good to see Arthur back, especially in the real world. Come on Sunraku, he could've given her a better greeting than that mask on. This is the start of the GGC Festival arc so we're introduced to some key members. Being the competitive person that he is, I'm not surprised Sunraku wants to go up against the best teams. |
 |
| Am I the only one who got annoyed af when Sunraku answered the door in a damn mask? Like please be normal it’s not that deep dawg 😭 plus he literally is nice looking idk why he does this Anyway, Touwa as usual looks stunning and I can’t get over how Kei’s game persona in SLF is literally just him with tits and slightly longer hair. He’s naturally pretty lol. Galaxia chaos, so we’re doing open area fighting games now. We did see Sunraku taking on rust in that mech game so he’s got some pvp experience. It’ll be interesting to see how they handle going against pros tho, especially someone like Sylvia who’s a prodigy. |

| I appreciate that it's a fighting game rather than pretending there's MMO tournaments like some series. *cough*King's Avatar*cough* The hero and villain role thing is weird, but it's not like we're aiming for realism. Do wonder how it works when it's hero and hero. Surely you're not locked in to having a main with each faction. Pretty mean episode here. Really stretched it out to not get into things. It wasn't egregious, but obviously it would have been more satisfying to start the fight. |
| Sunrakus comentary about the hotel "even having an expensive FDVR device" got me thinking, given the technological development of the world wouldn't this be standard equipment to have? FDVR allows for more than just games. Especially for hotels in big cities where they are short on space, I don't see why they wouldn't offer access to simulations of e.g. tropical archipelagos for their guests to relax. |
| It's time for a new arc: Galactia Heroes and with it comes not only a way for Sunraky, Towa and Katzo to meet in real life (I guess they already knew she was a top model) but also to introduce a fighting game while the SLF quest is on hold. That's quite the fancy VR setup gotta say and with the new cast of characters and Sunraku's mask we got to see everything remaining in the ending sequence (how satisfatory). Let's see how this game (which reminds me of both Injustice and Marvel Rivals in a way) fares. |

Noumu said: Sunrakus comentary about the hotel "even having an expensive FDVR device" got me thinking, given the technological development of the world wouldn't this be standard equipment to have?

Especially for hotels in big cities where they are short on space, I don't see why they wouldn't offer access to simulations of e.g. tropical archipelagos for their guests to relax. The thing was like 15 million yen or something ridiculous. the technological advances don't matter it's just the cost. having something like that as an amenity like a spa down stairs is one thing, but having it every room would never happen. A normal set would be one thing, but that version he had is probably unlikely. |
| I was expecting Katzo to use the Wethermon fight as a testament for the skill. Sunraku hasn't told them about the other two Colossi right? For startes, unlike the previous expansions of the catalog, I'm not liking this game. For a fighting game feels too gimmicky and more akin to a RP server of a sandbox MP than a game from that genre. This is our second fighting game, but the first one (the one with Akitsuakane) felt better implemented in what players of the genre would like than this one. The gimmick also makes it feel less suitable for pro play. There's a reason despite being wildly popular, nobody likes "pro scene" of battle royales and such. |
| Waifus only represent ideals |
| Loved this episode. I feel like the manga has too many ideas and we keep jumping between games... a lot. I mean, it fits the theme of "gamers that just want to play" but it's a little frustrating when SLF is left on a the backburner. |
 |
| Nice episode, looking forward for the tournament. Unfortunately Sanraku is not showing his face to the others. Rei's reaction seeing Sanraku on TV would be funny. |
| exciting stuff, I thought sunroku would choose the speedy type. But I guess having dual weapons is more his style. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Impact my ass! Aside from privacy concerns (if he has those too), I bet he'll wear the mask next time they meet again anyway. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| This arc being a fighting game arc which will be complete action packed and given the animation quality of the show I'm not expecting much. I hope they put in more sakuga instead of pretty visuals this time but prolly not happening. Also people really butthurt over Sunraku wearing a mask lmao. Again you guys are gonna love this arc. |
 |
| The ep was massive. I think the best so far, not about the story, but about the setting, meeting irl etc. Watching this anime usually reminds me of doing dailies in my mobile games xd |

Anyway, Touwa as usual looks stunning and I can’t get over how Kei’s game persona in SLF is literally just him with tits and slightly longer hair. He’s naturally pretty lol.
Galaxia chaos, so we’re doing open area fighting games now. We did see Sunraku taking on rust in that mech game so he’s got some pvp experience. It’ll be interesting to see how they handle going against pros tho, especially someone like Sylvia who’s a prodigy.

| @Marinate1016 Same. It's paradoxical how I find the main character annoying but keep a high rating to this anime. |
| Last ep really built up momentum so of course this one had to kill all of that for a boring introduction to what could of been aluded to just to save time :b theres so few episodes left this season dragging out this introduction just means less content for the rest of the arc unless it continues into the next season. I get some people like this type of thing but pacing wise and the content it's intending to cover, just means we're getting a bit of a rush job through this arc. I'm totally biased tho as idgaf about "pro gamers" or PvP tournaments. Just seems awful trope-y. |
| I love how their dynamic in SLF didn’t change even when they met face to face – well, not so much face to face because Sunraku decided to dress up as Psycho from Borderlands. This new gameplay system is really interesting. You have a charging bar for both the hero and the villain. I wonder if it’s assigned by default based on the character or if players can choose their path. The hero seems to have an advantage early in the game, gaining more points by stopping the villain’s attempts to charge, while the villain clearly gains the upper hand late in the game or by establishing a solid farming path. If this is how the game works, Sunraku definitely seems more of a hero type, but he could also be a villain. And Pelcingon as a villain. I can’t wait to see the chaos they cause. |
 |
| Sunraku playing a fool for no reason putting that mask on. At the same time, meeting two big time people IRL can be daunting from his point of view. However, he could’ve taken it off well into the discussion. I’m hoping that the animation for “Galaxia Heroes: Chaos” for this GGC tournament arc is better than Nephilium Hollow arc. |
 |
I love it!! <3 I was honestly fascinated by the concept of "Galaxya"—taking on the role of either a hero or a villain. I have no idea if there's already a game with that theme, and if there is, I’m completely clueless 😂. But just imagining the possibilities got me excited. That kind of setting would be amazing in an MMORPG...  |
| That was SUCH A GOOD EPISODE. I love how they take mini breaks in between playing SLF to show us other games. Seeing the trio meet up in person finally was great, I was wondering why Sunraku was wearing that mask in the ED lmao Episode was paced really nicely too, we got to see a glimpse of the duel. Really interested in how that hero and villain gauge works. The way the changed the art style to look more comic-book like was just peak |
| Lol Sunraku still wants to wear a mask even IRL ahaha but it's nice to see everyone together in real life now, the event is gonna be interesting with that new game, I wonder what are the rules exactly but it's exciting. |
 |
| I find it hilarious that Sunraku still wore a mask lol he looks so ridiculous but in a good way |
 |
| This is so gonna be awesome! |

| This was a great episode. The meeting between these 3 internet friends was pretty funny and well done. Sunraku wearing a mask through their entire conversation was a but over the top but still in character. I do hope that he'll meet them without it at some point. I'm looking forward to seeing how he and Pencilgon fair against Oikatzo's teammate. Nice setup episode and character introduction. |

| Hmm... not sure why, but somehow Pencilgon looks shorter outside of SLF huh... she looks kinda cute. (her SLF in-game looks a bit too "dominating" LOL) . And Sun... ok dude... that mask... why did you even have that mask to began with? He's so hyped about the full dive system, LOL. Tho I do wonder what's the difference between the headset he has and the full dive chair... considering he's already "full diving" into SLF with the headset... (sounds to me like the headset is better, lighter and more portable...) Unless the chair somehow gives a player better controls? Meaning if Sun had the chair, imagine what he could do in SLF... since he's already crazy in SLF, if he gets even better control... I am pretty sure he can actually just solo all the Uniques huh... . LOL @ Galaxia Heroes... this is totally a parody of Marvel-verse and DC-verse. (fighting game of different game characters from same publisher/ creator/ author) Tho they do have quite a bit of unique original characters and their abilities. (but only 5?... most fighting games comes with at least 10+ to start with....) Also... Villians have the advantage to get stronger faster huh... all they have to do is destroy stuff, while the Heroes have to go around finding ways to save people to get points... And as expected of Sun... he choose a old dude with Katana... Japan vibe, LOL |
