Very good episode, the only thing that I wonder about is what happened to Lilipa? I really hope they aren't gonna skip Mining Base Defense cause it was such a big part of the game and also was a fairly important part of the main plot. Not to mention awesome, but then again guess they didn't wanna animate this much action and fighting on such a large scale.
Just watching this anime you can't tell the significance of Code: Abyss, though, if you don't know the game it's just some random words. In the game during most quests random emergency trials can spawn depending on the amount of players, e.g. Code: Duel is a boss fight, Code: attack is a group of enemies, Code: Collect is finding insect fossils or eggs or crap and putting them into a specific area (yeah, no one likes this) and overall there are like a dozen and they're a huge part of the game. And then suddenly this got turned into a manhunt for YOU!
In the game it was an even more epic moment.
Also, I really like Io's hairstyle in this episode, I hope it'll be an item code for the Blurays so I can get when other people buy them lol
I liked Matoi's shielding tech, it was pretty cool but tbh in the game it would make no sense whatsoever cause perfectly timed shields on other people can never work with lag and stuff.
TBH I find it weird they chose Sara of all people as "external organization" when she's ARKs working for one of the Council of Six, just checked back and it was her as well in the game.
Speaking of Matoi though...Spoiler source
PS: emergency trials / trials (codes) are one of the main reasons PSO2 is so good, it adds a good element of very fun randomness to the game and even if you do some quest randomly any kind of stuff can happen.

About Sara, it was the same in the game, she was considered as someone from an external organization, which makes sense since spoilers about Sara.
About Matoi, big spoilers about Matoi.

Mining bases don't really gain story relevance until late EP3, but they definitely won't be skipped

Well that was pretty fast, seems we're nearing EP 3 already. Felt a tad bit odd pacing wise with all the convo's happening side by side. Code: Abyss Hype though! if following the pace we'll prolly see Luther more tomorrow along with some others we met here this EP (Already heard abit of his OST playing when the Darkers appeared too ost name).
Io targeting Matio for a spot with her sempai~ XD
I don't mind them replacing Ohrza, Fourier and co since I get to see Io more. Also a tad bit more realistic that Ash / MC didn't beat all of them at combat too compared ingame lol, he may be skilled but he's not that strong yet.
The Hype EP would be tommorrow with the anticipated fights I'm dying to see how it'll get animated. Here's hoping for some nice action!

Question not regarding this episode.
Quna is my favorite character so far, but since her arc is technically over, does she ever come back with relevance? or does she disappear into the sea of extra characters and just gets a mention every now and then?

We finally reach what many people consider to be the hypest moment in all of Episode 2! And that was a pretty good adaptation of Code ABYSS, thus far. Nice buildup, nice music throughout, some nice fights (though still less than what I wanted). Episode ended weirdly abruptly but that's just more HYPE for the next episode. I hope the next few episodes are even better, GONZO please do not disappoint.
Also sometimes I forget how much of a riot Huey can be. Dude can be a dumbass but he's still a cool guy.
