Have they finished the whole low level guild arc yet? Seemed kinda dumb so plan to marathon it

Nope, I'm considering just dropping it entirely and going the manga route.

cant wait for ep 9

How far into the manga are they? I'm somewhat tempted to do the same although I do really enjoy the anime

Was hopeful it'd be interesting based on the first few eps of strategy / game mechanics more so than sao was. sao seemed much more a story purely about kirito being the fucking chosen one, angst, and hollow imoutos, that just happened to take place in VR.
What other series? Druaga seemed like it was modeled inside a mmo with the op being in everyday life, but I don't think they ever referred to it as a game.
.hack being the original, but the series post //sign was pretty childish and watered down.

So far LH has been mostly annoying, overusing the /glasspush and stretching out the interesting parts of the plot with cliche as fuck scenes and gimmicks that're so clearly filler, it's meh..
It's interesting but it feels like you're only getting 30% of an episode per episode, if that.
Also, fucking Database.

.hack is still my favorite of the bunch.

LH isn't really nothing jaw-dropping but it's been better than SAO.

Shiroe is such a beast.

Was one of the guild masters in the round table related to the kidnapping of children?

Episode this week wasn't bad. Shiroe #1 beast. I do, however, feel like not much happens in the episodes. I wanna see come crazy development!

no.

Not directly, but some of them were buying the exp pots. So there's that.
