I`m amazed this is the first time im truly appreciating the series, here's hoping the rest of the episodes go like this because 4 and 5 felt waste of good money unless someone tells me i missunderstood things and would like to explain.
This one, where do i even start.., the hallucinations Maine was having were pretty scary and despite coming out of nowhere, i feel the narative massively improved with writting him off the picture and sadly Doria had to be in the picture. Its also helped by the insane animation this episode and great depction of colours, a massive congrats to the team.
But this also puts one perspective: Who will now lead the gang? And if its David, how will he manage his group? I'm quite intrigued to know what Maine's words "Fast is what you do" resonate with him.

this was the peak, probably one of the best standalone episode ever imo.
So much visual storytelling, excellent direction and writing.
They needed just one scene with Maine in the desert to understand the entirety of its character, not one word spoken, no info dump, just left me speechless.
I love the subtle hints like "don't get cocky cuz you're faster than me".
Truly peak anime.

Great episode.

My only criticism is that this came too quickly. If this had been a 24 episode adaptation where this episode happened at episode 22 following many adventures with the crew it would have hit with more impact. Still pretty damn good given we only met these characters three episodes ago.

Fr, that pissed me off so much. He was acting so scared and indecisive.


His hesitation confused me. In my mind, I was hoping it would be because he momentarily thought of his mom and her wishes for him but they didn't make it seem that way so yeah, confused on why he suddenly had mixed feelings.

This topic of cyberpsychosis is shown in an interesting way,which is barely touched in the game. The only problem I have with this anime are the freeze-frames last for a few seconds, as if the creators are stealing time to fill these 25 minutes per episode, which you can see not only in this one.

It seemed a bit random that Maine started to go psycho, I think if there were hints of it before it would have flowed better.

Had Maine not gone Cyberpsycho and attacked Kiwi in the first place... Nevertheless, David is also at fault

Best episode so far, show went from good to a masterpiece holy shit. Kai Ikarashi is a genius.

For real, until this episode I was wondering why the rating is so high, but now it's 10/10 material. This fire is outta control.
The OST is once again brilliant. ED song hits like a train.

During some arguing scene, some Netflix's danish subs literally translated David telling Maine "you did it together with Lucy" aka seggs or sum along those lines, I was so confused but guess I'll be watching this with eng subs for now

One of the best episodes this year so far. This was crazy and was probably one of the best directed episodes of 2022. This show has the best animation this year hands down and everything in this episode was stunning, especially with the scene between David and Maine that was epic. Sad episode but still amazing.

I swear, this anime might be a contender for AOTY

100000000/5 episode prob one of the best episodes this year.

After finishing the series, this episode is still my favorite. Maine's progression into cyberpsychosis is heartbreaking but beautiful. His last interaction with David mixed with the soundtrack left me speechless. Also rip Dorio.

Had a little bit of empathy towards David in the first episode due to the overused and regurgitated setup of a bullied underdog by the upperclass (quite similar to the run of the mill setup in a lot of isekai titles with nobles and peasant heroes). But after the last and this episode the last shred of interest I had in him is gone due to his poor and stupid choices. He already knew he was siding with scum people, but was easily distracted by Tanaka's sweet words, where he should have prioritized Lucy whom just feels like a one night stand gal rather than an actual girlfriend.

Maine feels like a cheap knock-off of Guld from Macross Plus, but without the charisma nor the more thorough background his own bretheren of violent zentraedis, Maine is just a junkie with a knack for cyberimplants that can compensate for his small balls.

Lucy feels like a Lt Kusanagi rip-off in all her design as a deep diver but again without the flair and deeper thought about what humanity stands for. Guess Rebecca is the only character left that i can place my hope in someone to feel attached for in this show.

How did people like this shit? The editing was fucking awful and the composition was all over the place. I couldn't see what was going on most of the time and they kept freezing frames.

This is the episode that made me go from liking it to loving it. I was always fascinated with the whole cyber psychosis in the game and to have it animated through Maine was sad to see.

Did definitely not expect to see Maine and Dorio to disappear this early. Gosh what a brutal episode... It's now it ends up being one of the Dreamy Jimmie's sick dreams-thingies!
And that change in artstyle towards the last part of the episode...
