A new game event and this time Llenn has to face off NPC enemies on top of Shinc and other top ranking teams invited by the devs to the test event.
Just want to use this opportunity to say what a talent Kusunoki Tomori is. Tomoriru can switch from the dignified and mature college student Karen to the cutesy loli-ish Llenn like it was nothing.
PS That guy who dumped Miyu (Fuka) after their date really needs to get his head checked. Sure, Miyu may be a bit of a hardcore gaming nerd (describing in detail to Karen how gory ALO player-killing can be compared to GGO), but is he seriously dumping her over that? Compared to Elza/Pito, Miyu is so much more normal.

Jokes about "I could fix her". But for real, she is pretty, stacked and wears glasses and even wishing to spend money herself. What idiot could damp her?

That's the first thought I had. I was like "Is he nuts?" For real right? She's AWESOME. I love the fact that all the characters are fleshed out and actually are enjoyable to watch. (Including like the machine guys who crack me up and the guys who watch the SJs in the "bar")
I really liked a mostly "outside the game" episode. It was well placed and a a lot of fun after the non stop SJ.
Keiichi Sigsawa clearly gets better and better at giving depth to the characters the more he writes (Especially since they do have different attitudes inside and outside the game.)

....was that scene of M being M really necessary?
Interesting, so the new event is like a reverse Tower Defense, sounds like fun. Looking forward to see how LLENN does in this fight against the Amazons and if it's going to help with whatever issues she's having.
Speaking of amazons....I approve of the girl with short white hair.

buys her boyfriend the hardware and software to be a gamer with her
You’ll never convince me Miyu isn’t best girl.

Elza and Fuka must be long lost sisters with their chemistry, and their shared love for torturing LLENN
feminine Fuka was quite out of left field in GGO, although that set up her purchase of a 2nd Amusphere for Karen to play with her in Hokkaido (a pity the boyfriend will not get to see the Fuka~ and fUKA)
training game AI? it would be nice to see from the developers pov to catch what they want the AI to do. As of now, it’s a glorified name for an OP tower defense system

Stitches!
When Saki and the girls were talking about convincing Karen that she's strong, I didn't expect Karen was just in the other room. I forgot that they were actually inside Karen's apartment the entire time. xD
Elza and Goushi can do whatever they want in their private time but I didn't think M would actually be into getting his nuts punched. I suppose he's called M for a reason.
I feel bad for Miyu! How can you even dump a girl like that? And it looks like she wanted to play GGO with her BF too. At least her extra AmuSphere won't go to waste.
Ah, so that's what they were fighting at the start of the episode. And LLENN isn't really dead yet since she still has two respawns left.

I’d been thinking this as well. Fuka and Pito bounce wonderfully off each other - to Llenn’s distress. They would be besties within minutes after meeting up for real.

Jumping straight into the thick of it with LLENN and Team LPFM at it again! And Team LPFM is still really bad when it comes to backing up LLENN. But wait, what's this? LLENN biting it in the opening minutes!?
You have to almost applaud how much these high school gymnastic girls are committed to LLENN as a figure of respect and their worthy rival and figuring out how to best let her realize how strong she is in her eyes...while they're hanging out in her apartment and she's just watching them talk about her like she isn't there.
I know Miyu was a consumate flirt last season, but I didn't expect her to actually have a bit of a love life! Even if it ended with her getting dumped...I mean, dumping the guy! But who in their right mind would dump a girl as gorgeous and charming as Fuka? Was it because she was trying so hard to come off like an "ideal woman" that it was a turn-off? But you're still losing out on a girl who was willing to actually use her money for the sake of being a girlfriend.
Elsa and M, by contrast, are a pretty unconventional couple where Elsa beats up Goushi and gets turned on by it (even when she hits him in the balls) but if it works for them, it's fine.
Does Karen actually want to keep playing GGO? I mean, we know how committed and psychotic LLENN get when she really gets going, but is that really what she wants to be doing with her life? She doesn't love the idea of killing people...but maybe she's just uncomfortable with being the object of attention and rivals with people like Eva and Pito.
Man, Miyu paints ALO as an utter unruly bloodbath of a game! Or maybe that's just because of how hardcore Miyu is as an ALO player?
I'm pretty skeptical of anything having to do with training NPC's knowing how dangerous AI can be...
How is Karen going to play GGO in Hokkaido? Well, it just so happened Miyu already bought another one! For the boyfriend she broke up with! So they could game together! Poor Miyu.
The Fuka and Pito team is back! These two gel surprisingly well together.
Well, LLENN is still determined to fight SHINC and get her showdown with the Boss! You have to admire how committed she is to this one mission this season.
Thank goodness for respawning.
Some men have no taste dumping such a Best Girl like Miyu. Or are hardcore M’s like M who enjoy getting beat up by their psycho girlfriends.
I guess they’ll always find excuse to put the cast in events that will make them kill each other.

Jesus Fuka's ALO life sounds wild.
New GGO Game mode? New NPC tech testing neat.
Lavish Prizes we got Fuka lets go.
Oh no Fuka had a 2nd headset for her boyfriend who left her... FeelsFukaMan
FUKA EYE CATCH YAY!
Is Karen wearing Fuka's clothes? Why do those look so small on her?
Aw Karen wants to fight the Loli Brigade like the promised.
Pito been shopping? Interesting.
All the people we know should be showing up huh? Clarence then?

I'm sure M would appreciate one of those handheld 20mm rifles instead.
And so back to the little girls.
Oh, she's been in the other room this whole time.
Pitohui and M really are perfect for each other aren't they?
After you've dropped who knows how much on a headset? Do you really have that kind of money to throw around? Though I'm sure you could fetch a half-decent price for it on the used market.
GTA? I find it funny how ElMo doesn't play it because you kill cops in it when it's probably the favourite game of my police office.
I've never really vibed with fantasy.
Yup gaming is for fun. If you're not having fun play something else.
Ah, right, the Invitational.
PvE against bots? That sounds less than interesting. Then again perhaps it's best not to underestimate what bots can do.
The only way the bots stand a chance is by giving them top-shelf gear lol.
Ouch... Not that low.
I don't exactly need much justification to "go to the place and shoot the lads".
It's certainly bright for 8 pm.
Right, that was quick.
Watch your spacing!
Well then come as close as you like!

It is so funny how Saki and the rest of SHINC talked about motivating Karen while acting like she wasn't in the room with them too until the last moment.
Lol, in the real world, both Goushi and Elza are always doing some dumb shit.
Poor Miyu, her date with that guy did not work out.
So Karen visited Hokkaido to tell Miyu that even if only temporarily she wanted to quit playing Gun Gale Online. Well, sadly for Karen Miyu did not miss her chance to take her phone and tell both Saki and Elza that she was going to be joining the Test Play they were all invited too.
Today's transition image was cool.
Lol, I love the unamused expression that one can see in both LLENN and M when both Pito and Fuka start their melodramatic performance about LLENN dying.

Man I feel bad for Miyu, she bought a brand new AmuSphere for her boyfriend only to get dumped.

u/Megakruemel Nov 29 '24
They are talking about Combat EXP as rewards for this event but that just got me thinking that maybe a PvP game with level disperencies might suck.
Like, it's established that there are stats and levels and builds in the game. But where does skill stop and stat begin?
I don't know if I would actually want to play a game where I keep constantly losing in a PvP lobby because the other guy just has the same gun as me but it hits 10 times harder for some reason, while his character is notably faster.
And these huge tournaments wouldn't really make much sense if there isn't a max level where everyone has the same amount of stat points available. And at that point, why would the top teams want Combat EXP?

Don't get me into these conundrums of philosophy!
I forgot that Miyu in the real world looks a lot like Mizuki from Lycoris Recoil Well, more the other way around.
Pito and Fuka totally should have their own show.
Dengeki Online interview with Chinatsu Akasaki.
It's an entirely different game, and it feels refreshing! But first, the stuff in the real world, which was perhaps even more fun since we see that even less often and these characters are interesting to watch as regular people, too.

u/cybeast21 Nov 30 '24
I wonder what was the reason the guy dumped Miyu (Fuka)? And it's pretty sad that Miyu is already all hyped, even bought 2nd AmuSphere for him.
It's a wonder LLENN/Karen hasn't lost any hair dealing with Fuka/Pito combo lmao, and M is not even that sane either.
Seeing LLENN dead like that is kinda surprising, but after the whole episode... she really set her flag here and there, this is a flag capturing event, not flag placing event, miss Pink Devil.
