Seriously, that new girl in Kanami's group went the whole episode with only a single line: "Okay". I barely remember who she is or why she joined them, and I watched S2 in January. |
Yeah, I was really hoping for them to at least touch on the fact that, if I'm remembering correctly, she's a bot, because that also brings up interesting issues about how things have changed in the game world. But I'll settle for a well-done Elias storyline, which I'm hoping we get.

I wasn't even talking about Coppelia, although I do wish the series delved more into her being a bot. I was talking about the brunette with the odango hair.

Ohhh, the lady from the Wolf Cavalry guild! Man, you're right, they did nothing with her to the point where I completely forgot about her being in the episode. Yikes.

I just found it amusing that one of the lieutenants of D.D.D was a Day care teacher. Must be hard to balance the work and game
Outside of that, I found the Marten spirits adorable as heck and Kanami seems to have an lively personality
As for Elias, i can definitely see the conflict, he's set up to be one of the heroes of the game, a game that lets people become heroes themselves. The feeling of diminishment must be real

I'm pretty sure that the "wriggling bit" is actually Misa's arm that was caught up in the phenomenon which arose from the flavor text of Misa's weapon that spirited Krusty away from the Yamato server.
Krusty had it with him in the final episode of season 2 when Shiroe and everyone talk to Kanami via the satellite relay and she tells them that Krusty is with her.
It was disguised as the wolf. That's why Krusty's memory of Misa appears when the wolf dies. If you look very closely at the bottom of the screen at 13:48, you can see the hand from the arm on the ground right after the wolf evaporates.

Do we get an explanation on how that arm became an intelligent wolf at some point???

Perhaps it was created as part of the contract that sealed Krusty's memories, and his memories of Misa were used to create it? He was finally able to clearly remember her after the wolf evaporated.
That's only speculation though. I haven't read the light novels.

but the real question is that coppelia's origin about being an NPC famer bot have been stated long since episode 14 of season 2 aka the kanami ep! so why give her identity the spoiler treatment!?

Uh...Erring on the side of caution? Nah, I just spaced out for a moment there and forgot it came up in season two. Oops.

@princess_irene used spoilers so I decided to follow her lead.

thats no surprise. its been so long that the series had any news that most people forgot! especially with the possibility that the series might not even continue due to the light novel author's previous legal issues!

So far I don't care for those sisters too much, but I really appreciated seeing a (former) NPC remember a player and apologizing for putting them through repeated fetch quests.

That was so cool. And it kind made me feel bad for them. Imagine getting all the hate when some otherworldly force (game designers) is ultimately responsible for scripting the fate of your actions.

It was heartbreaking seeing those memories shatter before everyone's eyes. I hope that unlike when they die and get resurrected, this isn't a permanent memory loss

considering on how death works in this series, its more likely they ARE!
