So you WANT a college student with lifetime self-esteem and socialization issues - Karen - to become closer to Elsa, a professional singer involved in a dom/sub relationship with her manager, who wants to include Karen in said relationship (though not as an equal but as a subordinate to her and possibly even to Goshi) and who mere weeks ago (story wise) was just barely cajoled into differentiating between the online game and reality and oh yeah from murdering her boyfriend and then killing herself over the results of said online game? What "real life challenges" would such a person be able to help Karen with, even if Karen didn't have issues of her own to deal with? |

It's nice to have the show back and doing what it does best by having a fun cast headlined by Lucky Girl LLENN getting into firefights and trying to kill each other and enjoying every minute of it (well, LLENN needs proper motivation to enjoy it).
Also I never knew I needed the sass duo of Pito and Fuka until we finally had them on the same team together. |

Ep1 it seemed to me that the character personalities had shifted from S1 and Ep3 here it is more evident and I begin to wonder if Mr.Sigsawa really was the writer for this episode. The most glaring reason is Clarence and Shirley's (stupid) running fire-fight.
At the distance shown, a pistol wouldn't have been accurate at all, Clarence had been attacking individuals at close range and had known Shirley was a sniper so she should have immediately ducked for cover when she saw Shirley rather than running out in the open. And Shirley being a sniper attacks from long range under cover so she would have ducked for cover when she saw Clarence with a rifle. And beyond that, when Shirley's rifle seems damaged and Clarence's pistol is temporarily "out", Shirley opts to charge with a knife (!) making getting hit easier with each step. A "gun nerd" would have considered these behaviors unrealistic and we saw nothing like it except in the GGO arc of SAO (not written by Mr. Sigsawa). |

Clarence vs Shirley is one of my favorite fights in the series, and so brutal I was worried the anime version would wind up feeling toothless, but they really nailed it. Early contender for best episode this season.

Clarence stepped up again, and that's all that matters.

This was peak GGO. Two intense and fierce women trying to kill each other and getting up close and personal (with slight yuri undertones).
