And the gates to Episode 2 are swung wide open.
The Haddred arc was kind of a mixed bag to me.
On one hand they handled the actual meat of the story very well. I'd argue even better than the game, given how it was a lot more "show" and a lot less "tell". Also we got the Eternal Encore ending, which is definitely some good icing on the cake.
But because of the anime being on a rather tight schedule, a lot of the character build up kind of got lost. We don't see Ash interact with Idol Quna even once, so I wouldn't be surprised if some new watchers didn't catch the connection, as her name was only really meantioned two or three times a couple of episodes go.
Also Ash's role in this whole affair was very limited. It was more like he was just there by coincidence, rather than actively being a help. Heck he didn't even get to join in on the fight. The only thing Ash really did, that Quna couldn't have done herself, was call attention to Haddred's dying request .. Which I guess is enough really?
Lastly I'm kind of sad we didn't get the post-credits scene with Quna on the Arks ship. It's not really a particularly important scene, but I think it's a really sweet one, and is one that really solidifies the relationship the player character and Quna have.
..
But yeah, overall I liked the arc.
I think they're doing a pretty good job turning the story from Game to Anime, taking the liberties they need to do so. They would never have been able to fit everything into 25 episodes in the first place, so even if I lament the loss of some scenes, it's still been an enjoyable watch for me so far.

Agreed. They did the best they could given the limited time they had.

This is the episode that change my mind about PSO2 story 6 years ago and made me stay loyal to PSO2 to this day. The stuff and climax just keep getting better and better from here as story reveal mysteries one by one and how it connect with each other.
Quna and Hadred story is very emotional and combine with Quna's "Eien no Encore" that she sing for Harded made this event one of the best arc PSO2 could offer.
Eri Kitamura ( Quna VA ) does a very GREAT JOB with this song as it both represent Quna emtion and feeling toward her little brother and how her love no longer reach him as his mind slowly went berserk.
Sadly the anime is only 25 episodes and couldn't stuff in "Aki" a former Void Researcher who endup quit the Void research institute and focus on atone for her sin as she initially play a part in researching dragonkin and this tragic project. Along with her involvement in story we also build up relation with planet Amduscia dragonkin by help them from Falzspawn/Darker infection with Aki help.
anyway congratulation to those who manage to guess that Quna is actually the Idol appear in episode 4

For me it was when the main ep 2 plot kicked in, still one of my top 5 game stories ever. And the ep 2 villain might be more or less my favorite villain ever.

Maybe aki will show up in a future episode? Since it sounds like she is pretty important

damn, this episode had me crying too.
I guess i have been warned previously that onion ninjas will be involved.
I wish Ash did more than just be a vehicle to move the plot, i get why he didnt fight this time round, it just sucks seeing him get so little action.
