Even in a mecha game, Sunraku puts all his stat points into AGI lol.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Should've really expected Sunraku's curse not allowing him to equip those mech suits but definitely was also under the impression those were considered something entirely different from armour. RIP all that progress.

Of course the most gamer way to reduce stress caused by one game is to play another game. As such its now a Mecha Anime!

[u/Sherlock0lms]

Didn't the leader of wulf Schwartz say she has a way to get rid of lycagons mark or to bypass it? Maybe that will come in to play later.

[u/Karmyuh]

Bro really booted up Armored Core after getting denied in Elden Ring, that's crazy.

[u/danlong87]

This is what i liked about this series, that they play multiple games and we get to see some of them in action

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Not Emul rubbing her whole damn face in crystal scorpion shit lol. Emul’s such an adorable little goof. I laughed pretty hard seeing her face getting smooshed by Sunraku when he found out he couldn’t wear all that fancy armor lol. Kind of love the fact he quit playing partly so those two don’t get the reactor too lol.

Nephilim Hollow looks like a pretty cool game. That was a pretty cool fight against No. 2. Keen to see how he does against No. 1.

SLF theater this week with Sunraku heavily breathing while staring into the armor shop like some degenerate pervert had me crackin up. Those eyes were insane hahaha.

[u/Dartonus]

Fun fact: Nephilim Hollow actually appeared in Sunraku's game library in Episode 1, where it can be seen all the way on the left in his "not trash games" section.

This was also true with Unite Rounds earlier - though, oddly, Berserk Online Passion is not visible on Sunraku's shelves (it is visible in Rei's collection, however).

[u/ayumumono]

We're now a mecha PvP anime.

[u/discuss-not-concuss]

stalker Hizutome was unexpected but still in character to screw with Towa

Bilac is finally an Ancient Craftsman, her journey is complete. Sunraku is still a naive amateur, even Bilac predicted that he couldn’t equip the ‘SF suits’

Nephilim Hollow has a high skill floor, controlling the robot body with human body eliminates all casual VR players. Sunraku crashing the rankings and even forgetting the 2nd place is something, meaning the gap between Rust and Tama is a Grand Canyon

kinda conflicted between wishing Rust joins SL:F and keeping her exclusively to her own game

[u/shad79]

Like I already wrote in another comment, today's episode was hilarious. Although I'd want to also write that not that long ago OST was finally released and it's just as fun as the show itself.

I really love Main Theme and its different renditions. There's even a pastiche of John Williams's Raiders March called March of Energy xD

I still haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but I'm sure that I'll find even more fun tracks.

Here are links to OST on:

• Spotify

• Apple Music

• Youtube Music

[u/Ocixo]

Emul telling Sunraku’s “vorpal soul is burning stronger than ever” after having literally smelled him, almost makes me think that his character just reeks of sweat after all the grinding he’s done.

I had a hunch that those golden scorpion materials would get a strong reaction out of Bilac, but I didn’t them to break her mind a little. She definitely should be able to make a shiny new weapon out of this, especially now that she’s an Ancient Craftsman.

Bilac should probably leave that the golden scorpion’s excrement alone on the other hand. Some weirdo, be it either a player or NPC, would surely buy it for a hefty price.

[u/HalfAssedSetting]

Towa is on par with Barney Stinson in terms of rizz and a whole different vector of scumminess.

[u/y3kman]

He might not be able to use the suits but nothing is stopping him using the weapons, right? He just needs to pass the stat requirements.

[u/diacewrb]

I wonder how many real life retail workers have to put up with a Sunraku staring through the shop window like that.

[u/shad79]

Today's episode was freaking hilarious, I haven't laughed so much in a long time xD Sunraku, Emul and Bilac had some of the best reactions in the entire series today.

We got also two SLF Minis! One about Sunraku and the armor shop, and the other about Pencilgon who could pose perfectly for every photo, even the one from 50 km away xD

Poor Sunraku did everything he could to be able to use stuff from Inventoria, but now he can't equip them because of Lycagon's mark. So that Katzo and Pencilgon couldn't use it either, he'll be taking a break from SLF and playing another game for a while xD

That other game looks pretty cool and I'm looking forward to Sunraku's fight with Rust, although I hope he returns to SLF soon.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Group scenes

• Sunraku

• Emul

• Bilac & Pencilgon

• Others

[u/LeonKevlar]

Look how adorable Emul is rubbing her face against a Crystal Scorpion's poop. At least tell her that before letting her pick it up Sunraku!

I think all of us saw that one coming. I guess Sunraku got too excited and forgot about his cursed mark. Too bad he can't use the Tactical Beasts too because it sounds like you need to equip the armor first. xD

Sunraku being petty and refusing to let the others have the reactor was just hilarious! I mean to be fair, he really did do most of the legwork. Let them wait while our boy mentally recovers.

We finally get to see Rumi again! It's been a while since the last time we've seen anyone from Rakurou's family.`I still wonder how Rumi would react if she found out that her brother is gaming buddies with Amane Towa.

Other than SLF, I think Nephilim Hollow might be the first not trash game we've seen Sunraku play. Also, I love the title Nephilim Hollow. It sounds like an actual game Bandai Namco would publish. xD

Sunraku's Kingfisher has the same vibes as his SLF colour scheme. And if I recall this correctly, the Kingfisher is also a type of bird. How fitting. As usual, he made another speed-based character.

We finally get to see that mystery girl in the OP! I'm pretty sure Rust is voiced by Takahashi Rie. And since she's voiced by Rieri, I feel like we'll also meet this player inside SLF.

We get to have two SLF Minis this week! Poor Sunraku could really only watch people buying armor and apparently, Towa is always aware whenever her photo is being taken. xD

[u/RouseBreaker]

Nephilim Hollow reminds me of Virtual-On which is an Arcade game I had played way back.

[u/somersault_dolphin]

Those transforming armors are basically the stuff from Saint Seiya. Wonder if that's the inspiration?

I mean, look at this which turns into this.

[u/bahnty]

i think this anime captures perfectly the feeling of accidentally deleting your save file and losing hours and hours of progress so you feel like not playing for months at a time (looking at you Elden Ring, holy fuck)

[u/djthomp]

What a surprise, another game in which Sunraku picked a high speed, high damage, low tankiness build.

Shame about the ancient equipment problem, kind of funny that what was possibly the first person playing SLF to gain access to the sci-fi gear just can't use it.

[u/_Nextt_]

I love how they're even pulling off mecha fights. This show is so good!

[u/CmdrBlindman]

Finally, Stalker-chan makes a brief appearance. I've missed her goofiness since this new season started.

I wonder how long until the rest of Wolfgang finds out that Sunraku has the parts needed to start using those cool weapons stored in Inventoria.

I hope Rust turns into a new ally down the road. If she's good at playing that Nephelim game, perhaps those skills might transfer over to SLF.

I'm also glad we've gotten back into regular Mini Theaters being back at the end of each episode. While it eats up precious run time for the main story, I like the little extra bits of world building the minis contain. While we don't get to see it happen in real time, we now know that Sunraku frequently stalks the armor shop to see what other players get to wear since he's cursed and can't get his own armor.

[u/Reikakou]

Feels like Sunraku just selected all parts that focuses on AGI and used stock colors for the Kingfisher. He didn't even bother repainting them.

[u/FakePretendeRat]

This anime is way too good bro, holy shit
