Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online
by Theron Martin, 
With this episode, Squad Jam 2 gets down to business. Based on the pacing of the battle's first episode, I'm expecting it to concluding four episodes, mayhap five if the backwash isn't given a full wind-downwardly week. This episode focuses on the preliminary battles, next calendar week volition focus on the impending group battle, and the last 2 volition involve the surviving contenders picking each other off equally the final confrontation develops. Of grade, there's ever a possibility that something will shake up this course of events, just Keiichi Sigsawa has withal to evangelize whatsoever truly startling plot twists in this story.
The battle'south outset plays out with relatively brief bursts of action separated by lulls where characters consider tactics or vent their frustrations most having to exist patient before the next confrontation. Each of the tiptop contender teams gets at to the lowest degree some attention. The MP4 team doesn't see any activity, as they are staked out on the map'due south highest ground, and so all we run across is Pito lament almost being bored and M trying to continue her in line with practicalities. (I'm guessing that they will make up for that next episode, though!) The Memento Mori guys are staked out in the snowfall-covered forest, and while nosotros're shown the backwash of them confronting someone, we don't meet the actual fight. The aforementioned goes for the team with the light-green-haired girl, who nosotros now know is named Shirley. Her middle doesn't actually seem to exist in this boxing, and the other guys seem to be treating her with child gloves, which raises several questions nearly her character. I'm going to guess right now that she won't be a big player in this arc but could have a featured arc later in the serial, as her appearances so far requite the feeling of setting up for something later. The automobile gun guys are also back for another brief cameo.
The two most established teams naturally get the most attending. SHINC gets a fractional boxing scene, but their downtime moment where the girls become on Dominate'south case for using muddied language might actually be more entertaining. They do make a skilful signal that you have to be careful of in-game behavior accidentally leaking out into the real world, but the style she tries to recapitulate "you don't have whatever balls" in a more ladylike way is practiced for a chuckle. So is a lot of Fukaziroh's behavior, as she has taken to her role with zeal and seems to be having fun spouting off activeness flick one-liners. When she isn't getting her legs diddled off past a booby trap – which allows the story to work in the curious rule about lost limbs recovering in a couple of minutes if y'all're not dead – she's quite the clever tactician, equally she's already figured out how to devastatingly exploit her grenade launchers for indirect burn down. Nosotros definitely haven't seen the terminal of that ploy, since non needing to come across the target and being able to ignore horizontally-positioned cover sounds like the key to dealing with Thou and other top snipers. LLENN naturally gets the star treatment in the other battle, as she uses her speed and mobility to deftly have about of one six-man team on her own; this is arguably the crispest and nearly exciting sustained action scene yet in the series, knife-through-the-crotch attack however. Only the limits of the series' animation upkeep keep that fight from beingness a full-diddled spectacle.
The visuals do shine in other ways, even so. The groundwork terrain is nicely rendered, and the photographic camera seems particularly fond of panning over Pito's sexy curves. The design of that mysterious sports dome-like structure is also eye-communicable, though why it looks fully intact when everything else in the town is bedraggled raises some intriguing questions. Overall, the story could stand to pick upward the pace a picayune, but SJ2 is generally off to a practiced start.
