| Enter Harem Art Online. It has me intrigued so far but disappointed to see Sinon become just another number (although that's all too expected). I'm a sucker for winter settings though and it matches with the temperature falling here recently and all huddled in my mink blanket. |
 |
| Just like the first season the first part is ok but the second part is complete garbage. I honestly don't understand why they feel the need to make it longer they shouldda just ended it after gun gal. |
Neko-sniper Sinon's gonna save the 2nd half of this anime... |
  |
| Wow that was boring. Almost fell asleep from the amount of talking. Only thing that kept me awake was the bath scene and that Sinon ass shot. Hope this isn't gonna be the whole arc in a nutshell. This anime better improve when Kirito returns to SAO. 2.5/5 robis798 said: Eh. It was okay.I can't believe I that I am saying that I like anything about SAO, but damn I miss GGO already it was a very very good arc imo. Loved guns, atmosphere. :( cronosteso23 said: But that's what made this episode slightly bearable!this is one of the worst episodes ever. only fanservice, boobs, ass.. |

| Guys. I don't know so much about sao novels so i need to know. This is "mother's rosario arc? Is it filler? Another arc? Lot of people say that rosario arc is the best of SAO novels so i was expecting that. |

Lot of people say that rosario arc is the best of SAO novels so i was expecting that. Its Caliber, its not filler, its part of the story. MR starts this saturday and yea, everyone agrees its best or 2nd best arc, depends on the taste. |
| Hmm, this wasn't good one. It felt bit weird and forced to suddenly do some random quest just for fun. And I don't like their look in Alfheim, it's terrible world. Also, it's just me but is Kirito overlooking Asuna putting more love towards his sister and Sinon? It really doesn't look like those two are dating each other. And as for the quest itself - in game design, it is always the bad choice to have NPC that tells you everying for the background of current quest cause at the time of the quest start players have no means of knowing what such NPC is talking about. It's always better to tell just necessary words and then throw players into action. And as a result this lengthy explanation was very boring to watch. I really hope this is just two-ep quest as it isn't entertaining at all so far. |
| Yeah dropping SAO 2 it was fun Asada-san. |
| Like this better than the rest of the show.. |
| while watching this couldnt help but wonder if there isnt any point for this anime to continue, its just sooo boring an there isnt any story left to tell anyways Alo again, this part brought some of SAOs worst moments so returning to it isnt making this show any favours did Asuna grew larger boobs? thatll be as close as she gets to getting character development the thing that got my attention was an ost that appeared when the harem team were displaying their weapons, that sounded extremely similar to Ballad of the Goddess remix that shows up in smash bros 3ds |

LastChapter said: its really amusing when someone talks like they can %100 predict what will happen completely ignoring the fact that there are people who actually read the continuation of that story and those people may crush his funny opinion...silversaint said: while watching this couldnt help but wonder if there isnt any point for this anime to continue, its just sooo boring an there isnt any story left to tell anyways lel great opinion you got there for someone who seems to know what happens in the rest of the entire series. |

| Sinon was so kawaii in this episode. good opening too. |
| ED is nowhere as good as the first one. |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| New OP animation is great. ED isn't bad, but I loved the 1st ED song. A lot of info in this episode. First arc we get that no one's life is on the line :O I'm curious to see how this turns out. |
| How disappointing! This episode felt like a filler... I was hoping they wouldn't do the same as in SAO and "change games" in the middle of the anime - I wonder if it should have just ended. |
| once again SOA turns to shit, after it's first arc. This episode was so boring |
| The second half better continue having Sinon as a main character. If she ends up as another harem member with little screentime then gg |
 |
| So gungale is over now and we're back at ALO? Well okay I guess, like in the first season the switch is a bit too meh but well let's see how this quest will go! |
 |
Seiryuu2 said: How the heck does ONE EPISODE turnn an ENTIRE SEASON into shit???SAO season 2 just officially turned into a shit. |
 |
| A new arc again... Nice new OP and ED. So a new journey starts again in ALO with "Kirito and friends" - that's how I call their group, lol. |
 |
| The new arc doesn't seem so interesting. I hoped they would play another game. ALO is the worst game from this series. I hope Sinon won't become just a new member of the harem but a more central character. She is great! Especially with neko ears and a tail... X3 |
 |
| Without the death factor, watching a bunch of elfish looking kids playing together in an VRMMO is BORING... Overwhelmingly bland. I hope this ends next episode. 3/5 for cute Sinon |
| Finally got to see the Jötunheimr stuff animated... sort of. Still think that they should have added it in the extra edition to do it justice, but whatever. |

I hope this ends next episode. 3/5 for cute Sinon I agree... Death Gun said it was not over yet as he died, and he even sent an additional letter to reaffirm that... I would like the story to continue from that point, one or two beginning fun episodes wouldn't do harm but if it's gonna keep going that way, yea this will be boring as hell. |
| You can't expect me to believe the bullshit about how that creature wanted YOU Kirito to complete the quest just because logic. You guys are not friends he is just some random creature in that world -.- Fanservice overloaded this episode. Good God how did Asuna manage to get melon sized tits in such a short time? Tell me your secret girrrl. Furry fanservice. Kirito being the playa he always is, and no one but Klein gives a fuck. Asuna, his supposed "wife", doesn't even care LOL. She was like 1-2 meters away from Kirito and Furry Girl so don't give me that crap that she didn't notice. Kirito is unable to smile when talking to anyone that isn't a female. Look at how happy our savior Jesus-kun looks when he is talking to Klein. Compare that to how he looks when his adopted daughter talks to him. Klein you should find some new friends man.. Kirito didn't even agree to help you find whatever gear you wanted.. Why does everyone rely on Kirito to do everything for them? I'm talking about the scene were the little sister tells Kirito to help the creature, because fuck logic that she could do it herself right?! I mean she has probably played that game far more than Kirito and should be pretty high leveled and so on, but fuck she's a woman and thus by default a female in distress. Sorry, I almost forgot which show this was. I'm tempted to continue just to see if Kirito gets some more bitches to his harem. I bet that there will be at least ONE more chick craving Kirito's dick before this ends. |
| Legend of King Arthur - Excalibur, Caliburn, the Lady of the Lake... coupled with Yuki Kaijura OST. Being a Type-Moon fan (Fate, in this case) must have made this that much more exciting for me. Well, on to the second half. The crew is lighthearted/fun, and the mix of real world/fantasy MMORPG still works for me. I should be fine, like I always have been with SAO. Just choose not to dig too deep, there are other series' for that. |
 |
| Really liked the choice of OSTs for this episode, though the OP and ED will take a bit for me to warm up to. A new adventure begins (though I hear it's only for a few episodes)! And... Dat fanservice. |
   |
| FFF more than 4 months of lateness! i have nothing to comment anymore...oh...LiSA for the new 1st ED... |

| Great start to an interesting quest. This is definitely not a "normal" quest though ^^ |
 |
| Seems like the better part of the 2nd SAO series is about to begin. I love the new opening and ending. They're so much better than the previous ones. |
| Urd the goddess? Please tell me her other two sisters are not Belldandy and Skuld. I like this kind of rpg where if you fail to finish a quest there will be unavoidable consequences. The Witcher 3 is like this, imagine 36 possible endings damn. Anyway back to the show, I think I will enjoy this better than the first arc. Hopefully no one will die irl when their character dies in-game because this show did that twice already and it's becoming kinda annoying. Just focus on the game. |
 |
| I would love to get on a Tonkii, though it might just stun me the entire trip |
| That was so boring. |
| Goin' after Excalibur eh? Should be fun, but dayum was Asuna ever lookin' fine near the beginning! :D |
aos10 said: They can't fly underground. It's one of the mechanics.just reached to this episode almost slept during the episode , its too boring i didn't like the plot , and i still hating those elves ears , and WTF with asuna'a hear color ? light blue ? if they are elves , why they don't fly ? |
| |
| Interesting episode. I didn't expect them to go back to ALO so suddenly after GGO but oh well. Sinon as a cat girl now and Kirito pulling her tail lol. Wow, an interesting quest to save a land for a giant from other giants and hopefully get Excalibur at the end. I like the new start and end song <3 |

| What the fuck? ALO again? Well, I'll just see this through first. |
 |
| Dafuq did I just watch... They really need to split the second arcs of SAO I and II into a different series so we can avoid this ALO crap. >.< Two good things: Sinon is still hot and a neko now at that, and Kirito's character design is getting closer and closer to his original design as the series goes on. |
| Omne Solum Forti Patria |
| Why are people hating on ALO? I'm glad they're back in the fantasy genre, suits this show way more than GGO. |
Gator said: Bad memories with the ALO arc I guess? Still it seems weird to me that they can't separate said arc for any other stories that take place EVEN PARTIALLY there, ESPECIALLY when you consider that is the main game where the main characters and friends get together to meat online, meaning Stories COMPLETELY UNRELATED to the AOL storyline LIKE THIS ONE for example take place at least partly there. Why are people hating on ALO? I'm glad they're back in the fantasy genre, suits this show way more than GGO. If you are sincerely unable to separate this concept form the fact it takes place (At least partially) in the AOL game then I honestly pity you. |
| |
| Kinda wished they had stuck with GGO, it was a nice change of pace but oh well ALO isn't that bad |
| Seems like this will be a relatively short but interesting arc. Loved the music at the end of the episode and I like that Sinon has joined the rest of the crew |
| Was going to go on a tirade about Kirito's harem but Tonki's creepiness overwhelmed all of my reactions. |
