Perhaps I remembered incorrectly. It's in one of the parts (probably 4 or 5) after Isuzu has her gig back in Akiba. Isuzu's talking about all the different members and mentions a bit about their daily lives.

I would think that after Shiroe connects the two worlds, time starts running parallel to each other; however, until they properly return to the real world, it'll be as if it had never happened. Even if the world is changing, it seems as though none of the other servers have gotten the expansion even after a year in Theldesia. Also, Shiroe states that nobody had entered Theldesia after the Catastrophe, but then that also causes some problems between the different media when I try figuring that out from a real-world perspective. In the manga, Shiroe finished applying the Noosphere update when he disappears. In the anime and light novel, he states that he was in the middle of partying with Tohya and Minori when he lost consciousness and was brought into this world, which means he couldn't have been updating it at the same time (since it seems as though the player needs to be offline/not playing to do that). It seems as though there was a certain "cut-off time" that trapped anyone that was playing at the moment; but it's incredibly unlikely that there wasn't someone in the process of either logging on or logging off, or applying the update. What happened to them? What about people who were loading the game at the moment of the Catastrophe? Did the game stop working at the second the Catastrophe hit? I dunno, there's just too many questions that can't be answered with "time passes as normal", especially when Mamare hasn't addressed at all what's going on in the real world.

Yeah, finding real-life LH fans can be far and few between. I met one guy who was a fan of it as well, and I actually screeched in excitement. The most out-of-character moment I've probably ever had, given how surprised my friends were at that. Somewhat disappointing, but sometimes it's better that a series isn't as well known. It makes for more interesting conversations than "who's your favorite character?" "X is the best, they kick so much ass" "yeah".

Well, it makes sense that the anime cut it out, since I don't think they managed to figure out how to add any info about the Wolves in Kazu's introduction at the Ten Seat conference. The most we got an allusion to them was in episode 24, when Kazu orders some men to start defending the city, and most people would probably just infer that they're ordinary PH members. Kazu's in his mid-thirties, I think, so he's probably closer to Nyanta's age than anyone else in the main cast. (I'd put Isaac roughly in the same area, too, maybe slightly youger.)
