Okay, I'll go back and re-read that part and see if it says. Isuzu & Minori (& Serara to a lesser extent) seem to spend a lot of time together and have become best friends in this new world. Even though Akatsuki now has friends after the Maidens of Watermaple part, she still seems like a bit of a lone wolf who spends more time just watching or following around Shiroe than anything else. She did seem to hang around Nao & Tet a bit in ep. 21 (I think it was that one) probably because everyone else in the guild was away and Shiroe was busy. In the LN in vol.8 she followed Tet in, arguing with her but who knows what they were doing before that. I don't think there has been any indication on if Akatsuki even likes Tet at all though she apparently doesn't put up with the idol nonscence.They seem to have nothing in common but they were both role-players whose character was a different gender from their own, which is something... though I have a feeling Tet would annoy Akatsuki most of the time.

Sorry, rambling again.

True. I think the Catastrophe happened the moment the expansion content went live and I remember reading something that somewhere that said it was installed beforehand and just started working at midnight. Though yeah, there is a difference between version. Maybe the manga just wanted to simplify it? And I would assume since the Catastrophe happened at the point it went live in Japan (or so it seems) the other places didn't have a chance to impliment it yet. Since it's apparently another world, it's possible that the game crashed briefly at that moment then resumed working normally for anyone who wasn't actively logged in at the time. People might be able to log into the game but since they're actually not in the game but another world it's two seperate things. I could see someone being in the process of logging on and not being dragged to the other world and then the game crashes, they reload, log in and wonder why no one is online, or very few people are. I guess we'll have to wait and see. It's possible that Mamare might never explain what happened in the other world, if anything, during the time the series takes place.

Sorry for the rant. I'm just a little frustrated that they wouldn't even listen to me. That happens often. I know tons about Japanese boybands even though I don't even like boybands... I tend to listen to rock music. Certain people will talk about only what they want to talk about and I end up feeling like what I like isn't important or it's stupid and weird. I end up feeling invisible and not important and just sit there listening to them talk about whatever they're hyper about at the moment. Yeah, it's very rare that I actually get into a series that's popular, I tend to like stuff that most people have never heard of. I did get a couple of my friends online to watch the series and they liked it, but after watching it they got into other things and aren't all that interested anymore. The same with the one person who's in my local writing group who offered to beta read my stories. She watched it and liked it but sort of seemed to lose interest quickly afterwards, maybe I gave her an overdose of LH talk. Now I feel like I'm pushing people away if I bring it up so I avoid talking about it.

Yeah, they took out a lot of the Westelande/PH stuff so it wouldn't have made sense to leave it in. The most they did was show Kazu defying the leadership a bit and Nyanta saying that Shiroe said Kazu was trying to change PH from within without giving any details about what he was trying to do... about wanting to protect the landers from people who didn't care about them and such. And that's what I was thinking for Kazu's age, probably mid-thirties whereas Nyanta is more around 40. I hadn't thought about Isaac but that's possible; he might be around 30-ish.
