Kirito harem +1

Silica is actually pretty high level.

She's been taking advantage of the simple fact that she is a girl in a game surrounded by boys...

Unlike most mmorpg's her pet isn't completely useless. At least it heals instead of just taking up space on the screen.

Nice episode.The new girl is cute and she also as the same voice actress as Madoka (in the dub anyway).
I hope we see her again soon.

Kirito was extremely awesome this episode. He is killing it in SAO. Level 78? Jeez. Silica was very cute, I'm glad Pina was revived and hope the both of them come back. The whole confrontation with the gang was awesome. The soundtrack is pretty great. Really liking the show so far. I want Asuna back too!

I did enjoy it? Yes. I strangely find Kirito appealing, as well as the other characters, even though they're quite stereotypical. Maybe it's just the first Fantasy anime appealing that's doing this to me, I don't know.

The first time I watched this series, it instantly became one of my favorites. An easy 10/10. In re-watching it to prepare for SAO II, I'm not sure how. Loli getting tossed around by a tentacle monster, maybe I didn't understand what was implied here the first time I watched it, but damn does this episode ruin the series for me now. Every flaw that've been repeated ad-nauseam by haters, suddenly seeming more and more valid. Really wish they'd not have gone there.

everyone could wield any gear, included double weapons, but the second one basically doesn't give any stats, unless you have that skill, so it's pointless, and it weighs a lot. Only noobs been doing that.

These two episodes had characters introduced and killed so early, like i couldn't care about them at all.
And then we have these pointless romantic scenes, each girl "save me kirito" lol "Kirito" I wish it could be a bit darker, this is so light.
Also not much actual battles.
Also the world-building is really weak, no explanations whatsoever. I dont know how things work in the game yet.
I'm starting to feel bored by watching.

Though the Animation is a different story, it is excellent.

What a boring episode. It's like everything that happened previously just doesn't matter anymore, Sachi died and she's immediately forgotten by the plot, and Kirito goes back to being a generic dude in a black trenchcoat. The events aren't building off each other, and thus Kirito's character can't be developed, this is just bad writing.

This episode instead is just one fanservice moment after another, Silica is nothing more than a damsel in distress and she's even less developed than Sachi. And of course, since we're building up Kirito's harem, we need a little sister WHO IS NOT RELATED BY BLOOD, CAN YOU HEAR ME, THEY'RE NOT ACTUAL SIBLINGS, BOY WOULDN'T IT BE TROUBLESOME IF SHE ACTUALLY IS HIS SISTER, IT'S NOT LIKE WE WANT TO LOOK LIKE PEDOPHILES.

Speaking of bad writing, the villain's motivation make no sense. Why would you create a convoluted system just to kill other players? What incentive could there possibly be? Sure, the punishment for killing a person is just a slap on the wrist, and it goes away after a day, but still, isn't it more convenient to steal from other players instead of painting a huge target on your head? And since this system was going on for months, how did nobody but Kirito notice this incredibly eye-catching woman being around other players just before they're killed?

Sachis death has not just "been forgotten". It's a huge part of Kiritos character and will continue to have effects on him.

There is no harem.

There's a problem with introducing a younger character who isn't blood related to the MC? And no she's not Kiritos sister.

You've never played an mmo before have you?

lol you are the one forcing himself to answer angrily my posts, not me, I'm only watching this anime and telling my opinion, is that illegal or what?

Your only activity in this site is angrily responding to every single user that hates SAO. You don't have a single thought of your own, people told you that SAO is great and that you should love it and you believed them. You don't actually know why you like SAO or what makes it so "great", you're just parroting what other people told you to say.

You don't want to engage in discussion or prove that I'm wrong, you're mad because I've criticized your anime, and your "criticism" amounts to screaming over and over "NO U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" without articulating a counterargument. I've touched your sore spot and that makes you angry, that's why I'm posting here and why you're answering my posts. I am owning you and now I'm even more motivated to trash this shitty anime.

And I'll never understand the argument that if I'm watching something and I hate it then I shouldn't continue watching it. How can I make an informed opinion I can't finish what I've started? Sounds to me that you only want to silence opinions different from your own.

Wow just.... wow. It really makes me sad to know there really are people out there that are truely thus retarded. Your post makes no sense whatsoever. I mean how on this god forsaken earth can you look at this post of yours and not think to yourself "damn I'm stupid."? Its truely pathetic. i mean take this line of yours.

"You don't have a single thought of your own, people told you that SAO is great and that you should love it and you believed them. You don't actually know why you like SAO or what makes it so "great", you're just parroting what other people told you to say."

I mean really. What the actual fuck? What the hell are you talking about lol. What do you base this on? Who is "then"? This is some seriously bad projection and ass pull assumption here.

But anyway. You are literally wrong in everything you said in this post. Everything. I am not "forcing" myself to do anything. I freely choose to respond to your posts which is my right just as it is your right to freely choose to post them. I never said you couldn't post. Not once. You can. But I am also free to inform you when your posts are retarded, which they all are. Clearly. So again. I never said you couldn't post so don't tell me to "just take your own advice and never post again." if you continue to post stupid shit I will continue to call you out on it. Don't like it? Sucks to be you. Do you need to borrow a straw?

No one ever told me SAO was great. I never even knew it existed until November of last year randomly surfing Netflix. You know nothing about me so that entire paragraph was just grade A retardism. I have no issue with someone criticizing the show. I have more then enough if my own criticisms of it. But if you say something retarded I am going to tell you you're retarded and that's all you seem capable of doing. And I know fully well why I like SAO. Again. You don't have a clue so why even say something so stupid? You seem really butthurt? I'm guessing you were hoping that this place was just filled with bandwagon haters who would applud your stupid anti SAO posts and just can't accept that here I am destroying you on your stupidity.

I'd be more then happy to actually debate you on any issue you have with SAO. Unfortunately you have yet to actually make any argument other then "SAO is shit because I say so" and the only correct response to that of course is "you're retarded". By all means if you have any actual points to make make them and I will tear them apart. But you've yet to do so. You've "owned" me? Lmfao. You havnt even said anything lol. This is truely hilarious. Pathetic. But hilarious.

Really now, an actual debate! Considering that your best answers that aren't "SAO is great and you are wrong" amount to:

1) "What is this faggotry"
2) "I bet you're one of those antifa feminazi morons."
3) "Fanservice exists therefore you can't criticize it. Suck it up."

I doubt that you have the ability to engage someone else in debate, let alone "tear apart" my arguments.

Besides, everything you ever do on this site is getting angry at people who dislike SAO, and the last thing you want to see is those people answering to your shitposting in kind. You want a debate? Then do it, don't say over and over again how stupid I am like a broken record, because that's not a debate. It's called "being butthurt".

So act like an adult or stop quoting me.

Despite the fact they again jumped time and space, there's nothing straightly annoying about this episode. Just two things really caught my attention. First, Kirito's face is different depending on the shot. Like, really different. What the fuck. Also, I'm starting to imagine where this show is going to go. Besides being a pussy-magnet, the OPness seems to be his strength. That whole exhibition... I'm sure some people must have wet their pants. 3/5

PS. I assume he was following the redhead's steps into the woods and for some reason came across Silica... you know what, just ignore that shit. He needs pussies.

YAY! Such an uplifting episode, I love me some happy ending and when the bad guys get fucked.

Kirito was also much more likable this episode than in the last one, not havig that act of "I'm alone, I gotta stay alone". Sure, he 'used' Silica, but he helped her anyway and was always kind to her. Looking forward to him being more like this.

And to say Silica is cute is a understatement, but she's kinda generic, I kept thinking of Chiho-chan from Hataraku Maou-sama with the way she talked and acted, just the generic shy cute girl. If she's gonna be a regular (probably not...), I hope for some more development for her.

I find it strange that they didn't talked about Sachi after last episode. I also find strange how in a way, the game mechanics are not that important and then, we have a whole episode talking about them (Tamers, PK & The flower).

What I found to most irritating in the episode was how they treated Silica. I mean, I understand why they did the scene when she got suspended upside down and she was worried about her skirt and found it pretty funny but I felt like all the episode gave that kind of joke or oversexualised that character for pretty much nothing in the end. She will only be another forgettable character by the look of it.

For now, all Sword Art Online look like for me is an anime who search itself and don't really know where it's going. I am maybe wrong and I hope so but it's my feeling right now. In the end, this episode wasn't that bad when compared to the last one but still, I expect more.

the pacing on a whole is REALLY weird, it's only episode 4 & it's suddenly a SOL-esque episode?? it felt so mundane & like nothing much happened compared to the previous episodes. what i mean is, this episode was interesting & fine on its own with decent world-building but only 3 episodes in with such heavy stuff & then suddenly this? & suddenly he is well-known for being OP?? i get that it's to introduce silica's character but the pacing is definitely off - i didn't read the source material.

tha's not to say i didn't enjoy it tho, i did! and the wholesome sibling dynamic between kirito & silica is too cute! tho I WANT MORE ASUNA ALREADY

So now I am assuming the time skips are there just for Kirito to forget whatever happened the previous episode and become a new character each episode.

1st episode: Loner
2nd episode: "Beater"
3rd episode: Everyone's best friend and chick magnet -> Emo loner
4th episode: Super Hero, overpowered, vigilante and still a chick magnet

So the driven force of the whole episode, Pina, gets shafted by Kirito faster than Pina's death....we don't even see it coming to life. She completely reduces Pina's priority after the extra lewd arm grabbing.

Previous episode: No resurrections.
This episode: Anyway, I started resurrecting.

So, Kirito is helping Silica because he feels guilty for his sister not having freedom because of him, but then Silica destroys his world view by saying maybe she is happy and then Kirito goes, "oh yay, my sister actually might be happy"..........So he never spoke to his sister about anything and he just simply assumed........ok.

(Also thematically it doesn't make sense for Kirito to save a person's life/help when what he is guilty of is restricting someone's freedom, thematically he should have freed someone........but then again he just assumed his sister was not happy, so....)

We meet silica in this episode a loli idol beast tamer who is about to die until kirito shows up. Apparantly were all the way past floor 50 in 4 episodes? And Kiriro is level 78? I'm no expert in pacing but if that does not scream rushed I don't know what does. It was pretty cool to see that clan try their best to kill Kirito and not be able to do anything lol. Also the show talked about having no ressurection items, but between the Nicholas the Renegade item and now the flower that's 2 ressurection items in 2 straight episodes. Lots of problems already and I'm not a fan of this whole thing of meeting one side character per episode thing either. Tons of fanservice this episode

The pacing continues to be really frustrating and inconsistent to the degree of affecting characterization really badly. It's somehow too fast and too slow with the content of the episodes at the same time. Kirito's just leveling up on the side and he's just Lvl 78 now with no care randomly through skipped time and again and near-invincible to most people. The content here is pretty side story level stuff while not really expanding on the world in an interesting or detailed fashion. Silica's character was meh too, didn't like how she was used as tentacle bait twice in the same episode, and personality wise was just kind of meh for me too along with her awkward chemistry with Kirito here. So far, it feels like the actual meat to this anime is happening behind the scenes whereas here, it's filled with side story stuff that's not very cohesive at all with how he was feeling a couple of episodes ago.

Ah now we have Silica...aside from Asuna she's the cutest girl in this series so far. Yadi yadi yada, don't need to paraphrase what happened, but I do love that Kirito had a very solid friend for once on Silica, and he helped her revive his friend.

...and now let's talk about some minor BS. Um things that are surprisingly popping out about Kirito. It's clear that this show is skipping A LOT about Kirito. One day, you know he's just a beginner, and the next we learned is that he's ACTUALLY a part of the front lines, like what the fuck. At this point, this show is just an SAO presentation of Kirito in his peaceful ventures, hiding the fact that he's actually OP (first out of many times I will say OP on SAO).
