Well not an argument, more just telling her to cut it out. The whole part where Tet says she wants to do a tour around the galaxy is totally different in the anime since it happens when they're eating (the whole conversation about a tour was on the roof at a meal) and not when the kids were packing. At that point she just starts singing a stupid song about being an idol touring the galaxy that everyone ignores and just continues talking.

The part in ep. 21 Tet, Nao & Akatsuki are wandering around the market. Akatsuki starts talking about what kind of food to get for lunch, burgers or riceball and that they'd have to get some some take-out for dinner too. Tet complains that she feels like they're not getting enough nutrition since Nyanta left and that if her skin gets ruined her fans all over the galaxy will go crazy and cause another Big Bang. The other two don't look impressed and Akatsuki says that if she has time to talk nonsense that she would cook something herself. Nao agrees and says that both he and Akatsuki have tried to cook, then it shows him failing at cooking while the girls stand there and watch... though Tet looked eager to try and eat his failed food (she did have a tiny sweatdrop but a big smile and her fork & knife ready... Akatsuki had a sweatdrop too and was just staring at it looking a little worried while holding her chopsticks). Tet then makes some stupid comment saying idols are only allowed to cook sweets (not that she did any sweets cooking in the Valentine's ep.). Nao is skeptical and then some guy runs into them and there's a whole part about the apathy returning to Akiba (though Tet says they're reading too much into it... and says something along the lines of Nao acts like he only cares about panties but is actually really sensitive. Nao flips out and says "She said pant..." and gets kicked by Akatsuki. The girls walk off together leaving Nao on the ground (he then thinks that he hopes he's reading too much into it because if apathy has returned to Akiba it'll be worse than it was at the beginning).  ... sorry, I think I watched the Tet parts too much.  Though my theory is she knows she can't cook and just don't want to fail at it so makes up a stupid excuse to avoid it. Who knows, maybe she can't cook at all in the "real world" either and doesn't know where to start and doesn't want to show that they know more than she does about cooking.

I think that's the biggest interaction between the two of them in the anime... which is more than there has been in the LN from what I've seen.

LOL there's just more questions than answers where that is concerned. There seems to be the assumption that everyone got the expansion... wait... Isuzu just had a free trial so she wouldn't have bought the expansion so wouldn't have had that update, would she? Not sure if the twins would have had it if they just started playing. My thoughts would have been, "why buy the latest expansion which seems to be mostly high level content when I'm just starting?" I would have got just the basic game (which from what I read somewhere tends to come with the previous expansions) and bought the latest one at a later date after I was familiar with the game, unless it came with the game free of charge or something.

Yeah, I've wondered about Serara's party too. I would assume they were all captured. I have no clue if they're imprisoned or not. It's possible that when Isaac and others came to collect anyone who wanted to leave, they were released and went to Akiba or some other place. Or if not at that point, then when the SS came and pretty much cleaned up the city, any captives might have been freed and are currenly living there maybe doing production stuff or joined some small guild or something. There still might be others, elsewhere, that are still captive... I have a feeling we will probably never know. Maybe some of the SS or people like Tet who seem to care about the welfare of others took it upon themselves to search out and free those who had been imprisoned/sold by Brigandia. That could have happened between when the SS left Akiba and when they went on the raid with Shiroe.

A lot of my friends tend to be anime/Japanese stuff fans... Just I tend to like more obscure things and know nothing about the popular stuff. People will talk about stuff like Naruto, Ouran Host Club, Attack on Titans or other things I've never seen (or never watched more than 1 or 2 episodes because it didn't interest me) and all I can do is smile and nod... then I feel like a freak for bringing up something no one else knows or likes... then they ignore me and go back to the stuff I don't know. Oh well. Then you have the people at work [I work in a library] who are like "eww...those manga characters are creepy looking... why is this graphic novel in the adult collection, only children read comics? Adult that read comics are freaks?" so I keep my mouth shut and keep my opinion to myself (and keep anime/manga related talk out of my FB since I have co-workers on there).

Yeah, people in ET seem to be treated as kids or adults based on level and experience rather than actual age. Serara does seem really young though, more like Minori's age or younger rather than the same age as Isuzu, even though that's not the case. People seem very...I don't know... if it actually came out that Tet was in her mid-twenties (unlikely but whatever) people would probably freak out and say it's impossible, that there's no way she's older than in high school. With Serara I was just like "wow, she seems younger than that" and that was it. I know it said she was in high school in the LN so I'm not gonna freak out and say it's impossible. Some people don't even seem to know the LNs exist.

For some reason I can see Nyanta being about 40-ish give or take a couple of years. It does seem that some people younger than 15 play too, the twins and William for starters (since he was playing when DTP was around he's only 16 he had to be younger than 15 when he started playing). I think it mentioned something about Krusty's age in vol. 3 [it's still rather fresh in my memory]. I think he's in his 20's. *looks it up* Chapter 1, part 4: " Krusty was definitely young, but Michitaka was probably less than 30 in the real world too." Yeah, we don't know what he studied or anything. I have a feeling he's in his mid to late 20's, probably around Nao's & Marie's ages.

Oh, two things I've thought about. The twins... I wouldn't be surprised if Minori & Tohya are their real names. I know it's an anime/story but if I was trapped in a world with my sister, I'd probably call her by her real name, especially if she was in trouble or something. It would make sense to slip-up and use your sibling's real name instead of character name sometimes, especially if you're new to the game (and if it's not a name they used to). Anyway, it's just a thought.

Another thing I was wondering, where does Tet's height come from on her profile page on the wiki? On her LN chapter profile thing she doesn't even seem to be 160 cm (though she's not standing straight, if she was she might be 160). I've noticed in the raid groups illustrations she seems taller, assuming that the 2nd line is 160 (judging by Nao & Shiroe's heights in relation to the lines) she might be about 165 (though with those boots of hers it would be like 160, 165 with the boots. LOL) Has her actually height been stated somewhere?
