Perhaps an increased boob slider range is a special feature of the European server.

Annointed posted:Why do people keep saying 'read the manga'? The original source is the LN and the manga isn't even near where the anime is.[/spoiler] The manga has things drawn with the author's input, and sometimes includes background details that couldn't be presented via narration. For example, the very first hint of Roe2 was the login menu in Shiroe's screen in the manga, in the very first few pages. Up to Book 7 there's no mention of that shadow or what it represents. genericnick posted:I got the feeling that Regan's characterization shifted between the series. Is that just me? An illusion brought about by his limited screen time in S1 and his function as an exposition disperser? He seemed rather untrustworthy in the first series. Now that he's out in the sun and interacting we see more of his fun side. He still gets weird at times, though. Kyte fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Oct 11, 2014 |

Razzled posted:Did I miss something? Because I could have sworn that the episode starts off (or did it end with this as the preview for the next episode?) with Shiroe being dead and reviving in the Cathedral with Akatsuki with some words about "not being able to trust his raid members enough". They wiped but it wasn't anybody's fault. The trusting raid members enough thing is more general to the context..

And that'd be why high-tier raids are now for the most hardcore of hardcore. Even DDD lowered themselves to raids like 20+ levels below them.

Paracelsus posted:Have we seen the blonde from DDD who is hanging out with the princess before? I didn't remember her name or even recognize her Mamare is pretty bad at making characters important out of nowhere. Particularly since he's fond of picking up characters from side materials or fanworks. Tatara, for example. IIRC she was a fan character. (That's the blacksmith girl, btw) And her name's Rieze. She showed up next to Krusty in shots showing off the DDD chain of command, but didn't really speak.

Nah it should ramp up within an ep or two. Also I don't know what you mean with padding. Right now it's running the plots of books 6 and 7 in parallel and it's finally done with the setup for both.

That's just because they're being inconsistent in the censoring. For example, in the LN Demiglace was killed by Shiroe slicing his throat. You can imagine how that looked. They eventually fade, but you have time to harvest stuff, IIRC.

The Evil Thing posted:It's been my headcanon for some time now that Demikas is actually just a 13 year old kid. It was disappointed when he opened his mouth and it was Generic Anime Thug talking, when squeaky teenager would have been so much more realistic, especially given his personality. Voice matches body, though. Serious Frolicking posted:Everyone's appearance is kind of a hybrid between their real body and their game character. This only really applies to people who had the corresponding gender and a human-like race, though. It doesn't really matter much aside from establishing that Shiroe is not a ~bishounen~ and showing how old characters are. On a related note, the newbies are kids for the sake of the narrative. The low-level group of characters go through story arcs that equate learning game mechanics and leveling up with maturing. Their appearances are their game characters with their RL faces slapped on (after some modding to account for feline features/opposite gender/etc) And it's a 20(?) year old MMO, at this point it stops being a nerd hobby and becomes mainstream. Isaac is a carpenter IRL.

I guess it might count as a novel spoiler: It's rumored he might be in China, but in reality nobody knows anything because he hasn't showed up in any of the books released so far. There's a chance he might pop up in Book 9, because of the context and focus of its story arc, but no guarantees either.

The problem is that it tried to run both books at the same time. Logical on paper, since they're chronologically simultaneous. On the other hand, the pacings of each are very different. Akatsuki's story is a slow burn that ramps up when they reach the final confrontation, while Shiroe's story steadily builds up the tension as the stakes get higher. So then you try to mash the two together and we get this.

Rudy comes as a package deal with the rest of the scrubs and Isuzu in particular, so it works out fairly well.

Ethiser posted:So why exactly are all the characters who are dealing with the Killer in Akihabara girls? Did they explain that and I missed it? The core of the raid team is Souji's harem. Most of the non-WWB ones (and some WWBs) are anime-original or imported from elsewhere (fanfic, mangas, TRPG). But really it's because this is the girls' story. Shiroe's side is the guys' story.

IIRC wolf dude is from the TRPG, same as the girl with black hair, yellow eyes and sleeveless top that gets a couple lines here and there and the other one with the amazing abs. Dude's probably in turn a reference to Man with a Mission, the guys who perform Database. They wear wolf heads in their performances (the quartet already had a proper cameo in S1).

Desuwa posted:I agree with this to some extent. The writing came off as unnecessarily mean-spirited to me and it made a huge deal out of what should have been a minor point. Maybe if Akatsuki was a shut-in with social anxiety or if she was extremely haughty about her skills the tone would have been warranted.

Clarste posted:Except it's not supposed to be clear what it is: Akatsuki had no clue what they were. It's also supposed to follow the naming scheme of the other 4 ranks of skill, which all have to do with being taught or learning. Unless it says "Overskill" in katakana somewhere in the novels, I would trust the words that are actually coming out of the characters' mouths more than some term seemingly made up by an amateur translator because he thought it sounded cool. I once made this argument in /a/ and they pointed me straight to the web novel link where it says 'オーバースキル'. (It's here). Apparently it's how they're called in the US server. (Yamato server naturally simply says '口伝') (FYI that's basically japanese FFn and it's where Mamare hosts the web novel which is more or less the pre-editors version) XboxPants posted:I thought the most recent episode and the battle were pretty decent and fun to watch, but looking back on it what was the point of any of it? If they were just going to turn off his magic armor anyway, what's the point with bothering with the massive raid? Why not just do that at the beginning, rather than at the end? That seemed completely dumb. Even with the magic armor turned off he still had raid boss stats. As far as I'm aware they weren't relying on Tatara's contribution plus they still had to immobilize him to pull that trick off. And with the magic armor he could just port away if he felt he was losing. Kyte fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Nov 23, 2014 |

Dan7el posted:Flavor Text though. Made me wonder. What? Why not "weapon back story" or something straight forward? I wondered if taste was involved for a moment. Because flavor text is how it's typically called in actual games. Dzhay posted:So what part of "there might be uses for these superpowers we have outside of what they were coded for in the game?" was so hard for anyone to explain to a short ninja? Plus to me it seems there is a bit of a self-realization trigger there, to 'force' the skill to work outside its own parameters.

DrSunshine posted:So if you can craft your own items, would it be possible to write the flavor text for them? And if flavor text is acquiring the same cachet as "real-world effects", what's to stop you from writing flavor text that makes your weapon indestructible, or any number of unbelievably powerful attributes? Tatara made her own flavor text for the reforged Haganemushi, remember? But it's probably not as gamey as that. Flavor text reflects an item's history and origins, so my guess is either you can't put a fake text or it simply wouldn't do anything. Or hell, it might just be an automatic process based on the crafter's feelings and intentions. In my eyes it's not so much 'the flavor text becomes real' as 'the item's backstory [which is described in the flavor text] becomes real'. And stuff like 'indestructible' and such are part of the item description (the other text box that shows up), not the flavor text.

That said I changed my mind on the flavor text comes to be. nielsm posted:I'd lean towards the flavor text being generated from the circumstances about the item, rather than being written. It seems more sensible that the adventurers just have an ability to divine the circumstances of an item and get the divination delivered in the shape of a flavor text.
