And so the Totally Platonic Adventures of Kirito Sue the Magnificent continue, charging forth into Boredomheim. This plot is so dumb. Oh no, Thrym is gonna rape Freyja. Who is Freyja again? Why is she here? Why is she about as developed as the other five females next to Kirito? Why do we care about the travails of a random NPC? Nobody ever does. This is an MMO. Have any of the writers or animators ever played or raided in an MMO ever? If so, then why did we spend fifteen minutes on them clearing trash? You know, the thing that nobody likes? That was most of this episode. They spent a significant part of their animation budget on animating a trash mob fight. What part of this sounds exciting? Are you trying to kill us all with boredom-induced atherosclerosis? That’s not the best plan.

Also, Thrym is gonna rape Freyja. LOL. Uh, dude. Practical concerns here: you’re a giant. She’s…what…an elf or something? I think I care about the niceties of Norse mythology in this anime as much as its creators do. Anyway, Thrym: your dick is probably bigger than her entire body. You’re not gonna rape her. For this reason, I laughed my guts out at this scene. Somehow in two episodes this series has transformed from a semi-serious take on an MMO into a complete caricature of itself. It has no plot; it has no characters; it’s just a waste of time and money. A1 Studios might as well take the yen they have out of their business account and smoke some weed with it. It would probably end up being more edifying to humanity than this commercial diarrhea.

THRYM COMIN’ FOR THAT BOOTY, FREYJA. BETTER WATCH OUT.

No wait, maybe you should just kinda go along with it. It’s more action than Kirito will ever give you. Just ask Asuna. Ha. Ha. Ha.

(Sigh.)
