Amon-Raw said: Lol he says everything that most people are scared to say.....their romance is the most rushed and random thing....i mean i bear with the slice of life/ over the top romance then when action comes it has a bunch of still frame shots -_- The point of everything should be to frickin clear the game and recently every since he's been with Asuna he acts like a freakin baby since when does he get scared like this?? He use to be calm and collected. At least the guild leader has the intention of beating the game. The teenage romance is so over the top. Kirito was better a solo player were he took clearing the game seriously but nah he rather hear Asuna talk about them getting old together....girl get your act together this is a game That's because she is woman and worth nothing...I LOVE how most Japnese writers handle women. They are so empathetic and clearly not misogynistic. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| I know I should feel something for the main characters, but I couldn't really give a damn about them or their cheesy lines. It certainly doesn't help that Kirito is spending 90 percent of the time looking absolutely bored and detached from everything going around him. The fight was okay and I did laugh when Kirito hid behind Asuna (though it was a pretty stupid moment). 2/5, a very weak episode. |
| enjoyed it, 4/5 for me, was good fun. Finally some more fighting. ( the last 2 episodes kind of bored me a little) I feel this anime really comes into its own in the fight scenes, the animation is great so i feel it really helps when it gets a bit hectic. Also i would like to say, for all those bitching and whining about how it wasnt explained how they were surviving in the real world etc, there was your explanation ( maybe a little out of sync/late with the LN) but its been addressed, now gtfo. :D |
 |
| I'm glad that they've gone back to fighting and clearing the floors. |
meepsheep said: Wasabi said: Suicide? Really, Asuna? They're taking this romance thing a bit too far. Typical teenage brats, I suppose. This. :/ I'm a teenager too but suicide for a guy I like? No. LOL It seems like an appropriate response considering she just declared Kirito her reason for living in the game. It makes sense that someone would at least think about killing yourself after losing a loved one. And she told him that so he would not try to prevent her from going. It worked too. Not that I don't find fault with someone declaring she would kill herself. But I'm not going to dismiss it as just teenage angst/drivel. |

I wouldn't get too offended, that guy brings up a tonne of solid points through absolutely shitting on the show, and let's be honest, he is right. And by your standards, we should all get lives. No no, you don't understand, look at how many vids does he has, he wasted a lot more time than casual anime viewers. Overall anime is just a way to entertain your life, but he gets too obsessed with it to the extend of making every vid for every episode just to rant about SAO's flaws. It's not worth. |

| wow that episode was awesome. from watching the preview of this episode i thought that this episode wasnt going be that great.. but i was wrong this episode was very good. :] |
 |
| Wow, this was probably the best episode so far. I really loved how Kirito and Asuna cooperated when fighting the boss. That was beyond epic. I wish that was possible in MMOs. The first pat was really boring and I assumed the whole episode would be the same, so I was really surprised when they got called by Heathcliff. The Kirito/Asuna talk before going to fight the boss was awful, though. I mean, seriously that's in EVERY anime that has fighters couple and the girls always react similar to Asuna. Am I really the only one that would yell at/insult him and punch/kick him for that? Seriously, Asuna belongs to the strongest players and he goes telling her not to go? She has every right to tell him the same thing. And then who would fight there? I fail to see the logic of that. I know they're in love but that doesn't mean they can't use brain at all. The rest of the episode redeemed it. I really enjoyed what we've seen of the fight so far and I have to say that the boss is truly amazing. I look forward to the rest of the battle and the end of SAO arc. Although, I'll miss it. |
 |
| This episode is by far the best one so far. They did a perfect job at balancing the relaxing and fighting. The ending of this episode just keeps us wanting to watch the next episode. Definitely can't wait! |

Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| that old man should take the lead and clear the damm game... |
 |
| Lame episode with fishing and talking about killing themselfs if one of them dies. Too cheese for me. And the boss? Are they already on the level when they don't match the oponents? |
| Starburst stream evolution ! xD i can't wait till next ep ; ; |

Are they already on the level when they don't match the oponents? If you've read the novel, you'll know that later on it actually gets revealed why that happened. Actually, I don't think they will mention the pattern anymore. Every 25 levels, the boss' algorithm seems to change and becomes harder to defeat. |

HauntingShock said: Zekken said: huntx said: that old man should take the lead and clear the damm game... you mean heathcliff? he's already leading the clearers and the game in more ways than one... Maybe he meant the fisherman. your guess is as good as mine, but that fisherman is waay too weak (no offence to him) to be of use in the front lines, only people who have properly trained like Asuna, Kirito, Klein and Agil can hold their own |
|
| Asuna and Kirito have some mad co-dependency issues, especially Asuna. I didn't mind the romance, but the lines were a bit cheesy. The fishing was enjoyable. And it was nice see Heathcliff, Klein, and the black dude. When Asuna said that the boss is above, did anyone else get flashbacks of Legend of Zelda with the spider? |

BridgeX said: When Asuna said that the boss is above, did anyone else get flashbacks of Legend of Zelda with the spider? OMG YES!! XD now that i think about it, it was pretty similar to Zelda:OoT where you reached the dungeon and the spider is hanging above you :D considering the prototype of SAO was written 10 years ago, im guessing Reki played zelda before and took the idea |
|
| The I want to be with you love you forever drama should be tempered a little.. Every episode we have to hear them say this. Only reason why I gave it a 3,5 so a lucky 4 star. |
| I hope the plot starts picking up like it seems it will. All I've really seen so far was a cool intro and side stories which were painful to watch |
 |
| yey =) the worlds end its next =) VN readers know how literal that is so in 2 eps we get to see SUGU! maybe i'll cry next ep, i almost did i the VN, but here is animated TT_TT |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| What it's funny about this anime it's that almost all the secondary characters are more interesting than the two main characters xD Klein, Agil, Heathcliff, Sachi, Yui...Everytime the two mains speak it's so ZzZzZz |

 |
| The fight was actually pretty exciting and the asuna and Kirito moments weren't bad. Pretty good episode after kind of a brutal stretch with this series for me. |
| if there's one thing I liked about this ep, it's the boss enemy's design pretty damn frightening |
 |
| I'm not sure what the point of the first half of the episode was (if there was one), but the beginning of the boss fight is definitely getting my blood pumping! I can't even imagine having to fight that thing-- 5 freaking bars and they're all struggling just trying to get through the first bar. Aaah, so scary. I really don't know how this game doesn't have magic/healing classes. The dependency Kirito and Asuna have for each other is kind whack. If the show actually went through how their relationship progressed over the two years instead of having the time jump dramatically every episode and making us have to assume how they got closer behind the scenes (for those of us who don't read the novels or whatever) then I might actually feel more for them. And they finally explain the whole hospital bit. Why didn't they mention sometime in the other 12 episodes about people being disconnected... Can't wait for more of the boss battles! Hopefully the series will focus more on the real story now, because everything other than boss battles felt like filler with the poor way they went about it. |
| Does anyone know when the next episode preview will be out? It always comes out around Wednesday, I think. |
HibiChouchou said: You've already considered characters are shallow even in the original LN, so what do you hope for when watching the anime? That the adaptation will be better than its origin? I dont know if this is true for Vaati´s case, but Im sure most of MALs community are watching this series trough illegal means so its not like most people are paying to watch this in the first place, besides spending less than 24 minutes per week to watch SAO is not wasting much time and the truth is that in this summer season pretty much every series have been pretty horrible, I personally consider my favourite series in this summer season to be mediocre, perhaps its different for other SAO haters but I have been watching this beacause there has not been anything good to watch in the first place, if psycho pass and btooom! end up being good its possible I drop this. |
