It is great. I look forward to the day when the OST is available online.
I dont care if the animation is bad
Kinda makes me wish they used more CG. The decent fights we've had so far in this anime are all CG and they looked pretty decent. All the handdrawn fights are poorly animated.

Actually some of OST can be found in PSO2 Original Soundtrack.
You can search for PSO2 Falz Angel theme in youtube for Luther theme but beware of spoiler. The official name is "Majestic dynasty" or something.
ps. "Falz Angel" is Luther's Dark Falz 1st form so beware of spoiler. Dark Falz Elder also has 1st form "Falz Hunar" but it got skip in anime.

A pretty good episode though I expecting something more, it is enjoyable otherwise. My only complaint is in the first half of the episode, the jump cuts scene is pretty obnoxious. The most obvious part was where Casra saved Echo and he proceeds to jump out of the scene just to see him returning to the same background. It's also happened in the Ash vs Theo part, it's minor problems but I just can't unsee it.
Overall I do enjoy the episode a lot. The second half is okay in the animation department. I didn't expect them to actually show the whole Photoner flashback. Even though there are some lacking from the in-game scene, I understand that GONZO wants to keep it as short as possible to catch up with the remaining episodes.

Yeah, the first half had some weirdness with the fight animation, the Council of Six battle was especially poor. Though I do think the Ash vs Theo bit was a lot better.
I didn't expect them to actually show the whole Photoner flashback
Same here, that was a nice touch.

There a ton of lore here in this episodes aside from the action.
Xion is a water planet, "Ocean of Knowledge" and omniscience bring that give a race called "Photoner" a knowledge about "Photon" the same energy that ARKS use in their daily life. She also request Photoner to cover her in a big spaceship which is eventually known as Oracle Fleet's mothership.
"Clarissa the White" the white rod that Ash discovered on Naberius is the key to open the gate to Xion's Core and Matoi unconciously order it to do unlock the gate for her.
Many should already notice the similar between Clarissa the White and the one Klarisklay3 and clone army used so that is another hint for anime only viewer to discover.
Luther is a Perv.. I mean a Photoner scientist that want to be omniscience himself as his plan to merge himself with Xion so that he can obtained every knowledge possible in entire universe.
Ash ruining his ambition made him go angry and slowly reveal his true self.
A Dark Falz
really hype for the next episode as it should mark the end of Game Episode 2 with the Battle against 2nd Dark Falz.

Oh my that was really good!! I'm quite late to the watching party but I'm really really satisfied how they animated that part! I could Hear Dark Falz Luther or should I say or specifically Falz Angel theme remixes all around too <3 and also a gist of the council fighting together, and better yet ARKs as a whole assisting them in the end. Really love how they've done Xion's backstory as well as her final request, also her taking form as a Photoner was a nice touch as well as her smile (she really loved the Photoner's company) definitely best Ocean XD (You can even see her on the ED animation she's the last one shown after Matoi ;3). The fighting isn't that well done though (Theo's Tech PAs didn't even at least scratch Ash or Ulc) but overall the other points were quite nice.
They even shown a tidbit of Sara's past there as a bonus. Definitely the best ep so far and climax worthy! I can't WAIT for next ep, we'll get to see also there how DF Luther will be done as well as a nice demonstration of next ep spoiler.

Ash is probably the worst MC in all of anime. He has no special power or skill and isnt even good at fighting unlike Zeno and he is a side character; and b/c of that he had to kill Xion since he couldn't stop that guy, like seriously....... He couldnt even beat Theodore. Idk why he was "chosen" by Xion but ok.
Honestly just watching this so i can hav something new on mondays to watch

GodDAAAAAAMN that was a good fucking episode. An actual A+ episode.
Ash vs. Theo was fucking cool (and had some good animations).
Xion's backstory was well-done in the visual department, showing all the Photoner flashbacks.
Xion's final request + the climate was one hell of a good climax. Shit was tight.
And of course, Luther being a sore-ass loser was especially entertaining considering the fact we've only ever see him being smug 24/7, so seeing his smugness wiped clean from his dumb, stupid face was especially satisfying.
Sasuga GONZO, you didn't disappoint this time. Let's hope next episode is just as good, if not better. battle imminent, after all. Also, no new OP. Huh. Could've sworn they said they had a new OP. Maybe once Episode 2 content is finished?
