Man SLF is the adaptation that keep nailing episode after episode man. :wow::blessed::whoo::whew::ohlawd::banderas:

Here we adapted chapters 43+44. Plus most of 45. This adaptation continues to be so lively. It brings everything great about the manga, but visuals, music, fights and voice acting bring so much love and life to the anime. It's been one of the most fun anime I have watched in a good while. It's just pure fun and entertainment. They are really taking their time with this adaptation even now. God I am loving it. This adaptation is so much fun man.

I know with Frieren and Apothcary as the main one people will talk about in terms of AOTS. But this series absolutely deserves to be in the conversation. It offers itself as a great action series. But it absolutely delivers the feeling of a VR MMO, which we rarely get right and it executes it to perfection. Regarding the episode itself.

We already got one of the hypest fights in the series adapted to perfection. But the sendoff with Wethermind and Setsuna and then the farewell between Setsuna and Arthur. Man they couldn't have nailed it any better. And off that we got the banter of Katzo and Sunraku making fun of Arthur being emotional was perfect. :russ: Then the start of the fight between Arthur and Psyger-0 was way better then I had any expectation off coming off the big fight.

The conclusion to the fight we got some interesting lore regarding that the Setsuna that we see is more the emotions that remained after her death. Getting to see another side of Arthur was great. We see her usually as this intimidating calculating player. She was emotionally invested in Setsuna and the bond their shared was very nice. It's actually a relatable feeling, getting emotional invested in a character in a game. Also the choice of music as Wethermond approached Setsuna's grave was perfect.

Sunraku had buzz before, but that announcement turned things up another level. Kind of scary. Now he truly has Rei's older sister attention. After all that has happened so far the start of this series truly has begun.I gotta give Arthur credit on one thing. She wanting to stop being a PK, but at the same time she wasn't going to go down without a fight. And if you are going to go down why not go down facing the Attack Master. Kind of crazy with what they animated of the fight so far it had awesome animation.

After watching SLF, I thought about that show .hack sign.

Never really watched it, but whenever I think of VR animes, I think of that.

Y’all remember that show, was it ever good or nah?

First time ever I read a manwha but solo leveling was damn good. The payoff at the end however felt bittersweet kinda like demon slayer.

They had so many more options to explore, the concept was really insanely good.

However from the intro we are probably not going to see the good shyt in this season. Season 2 will be where we will see the true PIFFFFFFF, season 1 is just going to be a teaser sadly.

7th Time Loop Episode 7

The series has done such a great job at make Rishe a smart, calculating and independent female lead. And one of the best alongside Maomao and Frieren. This episode impressed because for all the accomplishment and praise we give Rishe. It doesn't take away from Arnold.

Arnold's talk with Rishe when he discussing a person's pride and how she does a great job of helping a person find that for themselves. Easy explains we have seen are Theodore, Elsie and Diana. We have seen Rishe help each of these 3 find themselves and give each of them confidence in themselves at what they do well at. Again pointing out how great of a character she is. She makes the supporting cast around her better.

The spar with Arnold was great, as it made it apparent how strong in combat he truly is. Not only that, his training routine is absolutely insane. One hand and one eye. No wonder, Rishe in her last loop stood no chance against Arnold. But she did well to impress him. He wasn't planning to even move, and she got him to do that.

Anyone that wanted, some more romance for this series absolutely got it here. Little by little, Rishe is starting to fall for Arnold. Leading her to possibly believe the true Arnold isn't the villain that she thought he was in her previous loops. The bed scene was great. As Rishe finally gives Arnold a chance to finally rest. Granted, she ended up sleeping by his side.

I love the comment he says she is the only one who treats him like a boy. Honestly, this is one thing that he needs. Everyone looks up to Arnold, but who can he go to when he is tired and vulnerable? Though, Rishe was pretty vulnerable with the amount of times she blushed. Also, Rishe going off asking question after question after Arnold answered her first question was hilarious. And her wanting to know his birthday even alludes her interest is more and more genuine.

So Rishe wants to go through the training regimen that Arnold's knights go through. Well, she definitely has potential. Her trying to fit in with the knights will be very amusing. And would give us an insight how she was in her previous loop.

Man, this High card episode had me on the edge of my seats. It was absolutely insane. The 2nd half had me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

I give the police credit for not letting the 2 factions run amok. And man I gotta give Young props. He made a giant gamble and he won on his side getting more information from the royal family. On the flip side the Klondikes have people in the police so it isnt' surprised they went and tried to get the cards back. Well at least we finally got High Card back together.

The Black Knight is a card? And similar to Wendy's Ace of spades, it transforms the user. But unlike the case for Wendy who is in control of the transformation, it isn't the case of the black knight. Curious why he wants the cards? More cards means he grows stronger?

As hype as it was to see Chris back, he stood no chance against the Black Knight. Looks like next episode will be getting more of a backstory/origin of the true roots of the cards maybe?

I am getting the feeling Finn's family died simply for having the cards and whoever was the black night just lost control. Does the black knight also consume its victims I wonder?

Ema is like that scary mom who is very loving and affectionate. But she goes into :demonic: mode when she needs to be tough on you. :pachaha: And you know better than not obeying and listening to what she is saying.
