...I really don't like BT. I never really did, but I'm liking her less and less every episode. Her and Silver Knight. Psh.

I suppose the end of this episode is supposed to make us like BT by kind of feeling sorry for her, but it's not working for me.

Everyone be hating on the lettuce, what gives.

BT was always a bitch, and I guess this episode was trying to get us to empathize with her. However, when you spend 3/4 of the episode with her being a bitch it's kind of hard. I don't think she's a terrible character, probably one of the more interesting in the series, but even after this episode I don't like her.

I wonder if Tsukasa's real-life body started showing vital signs again once he became revived in-game.

Also, I think I know the answers to Bear's three questions, thanks to having read .hack//Another Birth. I think they are:

That said, I'm not sure if these are correct.
Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut.

I think BT is a good character, we don't have to like her but understand her better after this. BT is an online game I played meant Beast Trainer, not as epic as BLT sandwich. xD

BT (<)=> Crim (<)=> Subaru <=> Tsukasa

BT and Crim seem to have met offline. I think that BT might've had feelings for Crim. Not entirely sure.

I love how they portray "real life" so monotone and it feels like a flashback. XD

BT seems to not like her high school people/old colleagues.

I was always thinking BT was something like Beast Tamer, till they explain it properly lol

I liked this episode :) was good to see and understand a bit more of BT
Hope we get similar episodes for the other guys; we only know a bit about Bear and Tsukasa and barely any info.

Wait BT? I think I have the wrong episode...This one was about Tsukasa's regeneration and memory loss.

Now I'm really feeling bad for the guy.

Oh, so the last episode really was a recap episode? Jeez, I can't believe I was analyzing it for hints...anyway, it seems like Tsukasa just isn't getting any breaks. So what I got from this episode then is that each time he dies, Tsukasa is regenerated by data and loses part of his self awareness as a result. It reminds me of a certain concept in Log Horizon, can't help but wonder if that was inspired by this at all.

I think for the first half of the show, I was kind of watching out of morbid curiosity thinking "who cares about this key?", but now I'm sincerely interested in how they're going to unravel the mystery. I just hope BT doesn't get in on it. Or at the very least, Sora slices her up again.

That's worth considering. Like that movie The 5th Element.

So far I like this but it's kind of slow or anti fight scenes. When they asked BT if she was ready to die, I said "I hope so!" I had hoped their was finally going to be a battle. But noooooo.

I'm an old Raganarok, WoW, etc, mmorpg player. There are some details that constantly bug me. Where are the other players or NPCs or anything other than the handful of people this is about?

But there has been so many follow up series and OVAs etc, I feel the story has to pay off at some time.

Does anyone have an English translation for the text and letters between 21:20 and 21:30 (ish) marks? It seems important but I don't read Japanese and so the dub doesn't include that info.

I never understood why BT helped capture Tsukasa or why she needed the key of twilight. Knowing her IRL side doesn't really help either. I don't mind slow anime. But this has serious pacing issues.

Nice. I really appreciate that this episode took some time to flesh out BT.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron
