| Liz is so great! So far I definitely prefer her to Asuna who, to me, isn't anything but the usual "cute yet cool" female heroine. Shame she probably won't be in it again. |
| Awww, tug at my heart strings. |
| Such junk... |
| lolol when ppl complain about the dragon xD but yeah, it could've been more badass, haha. Whatever though C: I wonder why Kirito wanted to fight the dragon all by himself that badly though ;O but I love how manly he is yelling X) huehuehue~ Poor Liz~ you'll find someone out there for you, gurl (: |
| Is it just me or is it anime slowly turning into romance-harem thing? |
| Was there a little Macross homage with that "seizing the girls hand midair" thing? Anyway, good episode and I liked Liz as a character. ONly thing is, I'm not sure she's coming back at any point? |

| I'm rewatching. The world building is still probably very silly and the characters are still simple, but I'm somehow still engaged to this show. Compared to the direction the show takes in the second half, I think I'm getting a sense of why this flawed story and simple characters manage to click. |
 |
| Lol, they were able to create a romance and crush it in less than 20 minutes. But more seriously, it was a good episode. That new character, Liz, was funny and cute. She just can't rivalize with Asuna. I like how he just go ''We can try running on the wall'' like if it was a normal thing to do xD |

| Liz has the cutest freckles<3. Liked all the Kirito x Liz moments this episode. CG dragon looks weird.Speaking of which the metal they were looking for was it's poop... Good episode,too bad Liz got NTR'd.She's so much better than Asuna imo. |
| please don't tell me Liz is going to be one of those "trash away" characters! She's pretty cool, and definitely prefer her than Asuna |
 |
| Liz |

| I love this episode. It is kinda sweet. |

| I feel you, Liz, I feel you! Cute episode (▰˘◡˘▰) |
 |
| i felt like i was watching a soap anyway poor pink hair girl, way nicer than asuna the dragon was lame |
 |
| Meh, another side story that I wasn't fond of on my first watch but didn't mind this time around. Lizbeth is a nice character and it's a shame the newly budding romance was extinguished so soon. I like how she is trying to find something in that virtual game to consider real and hold onto. Honestly Kirito x Liz wouldn't have been a bad match at all. |

| This was literally fanfiction tier. |
| The Dragon had a cool design, but poorly executed with the 3D. And poor Lis, Asuna quickly bitchslapped her away from her man. With a smile no less. |
 |
| Kirito you heart breaker. |
| Aw, Lisbeth is so tsundere! (^_^) I had some vibes but then she found out. (T_T) Lol, Kirito's Elucidator broke Lisbeth's best sword. Kirito needed another sword, so he had to fight a dragon. He didn't kill the dragon, but he still got the dragon's "drop". And thus the Dark Repulser was made with the warmth of a heart! |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| Kirito gets a girl. Then he drops her. -,- lol |
| Lame. Liz is better than Asuna. This anime should have been a harem, would have been a better suit than a normal romance with 1 girl 1 guy relationship. |
HandsomeMan said: Lame. Liz is better than Asuna. This anime should have been a harem, would have been a better suit than a normal romance with 1 girl 1 guy relationship. So glad it's not this. Kirito's steadfast relationship with Asuna is what makes the show, imho. I also think that Asuna complements Kirito far better than Liz could've/would've. |

Yeah, now that I'm at episode 22 I agree. Although now I like Suguha more lol |
| Kirito never finished off that dragon... Kirito-harem +1 Nice earrings, Asuna! That's my best sword... snap... not anymore... |
  |
| Another well done episode, I liked Liz but when Kirito was hitting on her and holding her hand I was like "wtf man what about Asuna" but I suppose that's resolved for now! The action was good too and I really like the soundtrack - there's one specific song in this episode (I think it's shown up before too) that reminds me a lot of Clannad. I think it played when they were going to sleep in the dragon's cave. Not that I'm complaining! I loved Clannad's music. |
| Hmph still needs more action and how can she fall in love so fast with him? Fells like Twilight now instead of Lord of the Rings :/ |
| Awww i felt bad for Lis and I hope this anime doesnt turn out to be a harem -.- |
| Lisbeth is love Lisbeth is life. This is my conclusion to the entire series. |
Minori Kushieda Forever <3 |
| Kirito and Asuna were obviously a thing from the get-go, so Liz's heartbreak was inevitable. Still, Liz seems like a really genuine character and I think her short screen time is a good thing. Kirito's strength being a backdrop is annoying though. The show could at least afford to spend time showing how Kirito is leveling up. Instead of gaining levels, the show is more interested in filling the harem. |
| Well Lisbeth seems to be a really nice character. When she and Kirito were in the cave, I thought it was a nice conversation. Though I will say that this episode is really good (and I really like the OP theme a lot). |
| I do like Lisbeth in this episode and it is nice to see a woman being a blacksmith and I didn't feel like this episode was filler and it did have a point. |
| Poor Liz. :( Stupid Kirito. |
| Omne Solum Forti Patria |
| Yay, I've found Kirino's twin in other anime! Added Rika Shinozaki\Lisbeth to my favs list, couldn't find her in characters list as Lisbeth, apparently that's her in game nickname. Love at first sight <3 The best episode so far, loved colouring and drawing style, it feels very comfortable at her shop :3 Loved Kirito x Rika, so intense and romantic, one of the best romatic episodes I've ever seen in anime, would prefer over Kirito x Asuna, however there is no competition yet, at least I haven't seen any vibes between Kirito and Asuna, they don't date, right? So Lis is kinda overthinking it, it's not too late for her to join harem. Anyway poor Rika, I feel sorry for her :( |

He saved her life, you know. And that is still not enough of a reason to fall in love with someoneThe novel does a better job in explaining why she fell for him though. And it's rather touching. I got emotional when I read it. I've also read itAnd as far as I can remember I didn't get emotional |

villax said: Okay questio. Do you remember the picture that Liz looks at the beginning of the ep?did she have her family in sao an they died?caus they look like they have armor from the first few levels. That is a good question but the novel doesn't mention anything about it. It's just something the anime added in, I think.... |
|
| DAMN so many bad comment on the dragon, Fucking no fantasy in your head! You draw then a damn crystal Dragon!! I thought i look epic, for a dragon in the nature of snow and crystal!! sure i want to see some little more fighting, and little character development but i will come in time i hope, Like shiiiiiiii we are still at ep7 stop complain!! Have heard enough bad shit out this anime an i so far really am hooked on SAO really enjoying watching it! |
| cause MAL is doing there job for once. |
| I would say that it is quite understandable for characters to want to be with Kirito....after all, it's important not to forget that everyone is stuck in this artificial world with dangers lurking everywhere, not just from the virtual environment itself but from other hostile and selfish players. You can't seem to trust anyone, which is why Kirito clearly stands out. Even though he is a solo player, and has benefitted from playing the Beta, he remains selfless and puts others first. That being said I guess this shouldn't necessarily translate to characters having to have to fall for him, especially over the course of a single episode. I would have preferred it if this episode continued on, so that the characters could get to know each other a bit more, especially since they managed to get out of the mess they were in rather quickly. |

I'm still at where they are calling him a beater. I'm reading sword art online -progressiveThat is a good question but the novel doesn't mention anything about it. It's just something the anime added in, I think.... Yes, this episode is adapted from the second novel of Aincrad, which was released before Progressive. |
