| Oh, so Kirito got some programming skill. I should not be surprised -.- He could change a program into an object (even store it as his NerveGear local data), why didn't he try to hack the system? At least, try to shut down the program that burn brain when a player die in game. Or, activate the log out button, he got a GM access right? That's it. It's not that I hate SAO, though. SAO just lost it's place as (my personal) best anime of the season. |
Waiting for next week anime gives me another reason to live. |

It wasn't mentioned in the anime, but Kayaba gave them an hour and allowed them to disconnect the nervegear. Um...what? If they had to disconnect their nervegears..wouldn't they have been forced to logout..uhhh Plus how does lag work. If a thunderstorm happens and the power gets knocked out, do they all die? What if the net gets disconnected. ahhh so many plot holes. it's all explained in the novel. Internal battery. An internal battery that lasts for 2 years? Doesn't explain lag or possibility of a net disconnection. |

If a thunderstorm happens and the power gets knocked out, do they all die? What if the net gets disconnected. ahhh so many plot holes. The NerveGear has an internal battery that runs for 2 hours, so one can disconnect it for that period of time. Ah I see. Makes sense now. After 2 hours, the battery will run out and the NerveGear will simply fry the brain. If a Thunderstorm happens, they have 2 hours to fix everything. ah I see. |
| And I thought lag would never happen...they had a dedicated server just for it..WHICH will be introduced in the coming episodes... |

And they are all connected in an hospital after all. |

Blitzschnell said: hyperknees91 said: HauntingShock said: And I thought lag would never happen...they had a dedicated server just for it..WHICH will be introduced in the coming episodes... guess no server maintenance ever then. I actually assumed Cardinal had the ability to seal off areas and perform maintenance checks by itself, since they never said anything about that. Its a self-regulated dedicated server. Basically every MMORPGamer's dream of a server. Sounds like a good time. Diablo 3 players would die for that server. Also how does Kirito friggin save Yui's heart? I mean...how in the world does he even know how to do what he did to save it. Is this some sort of hacking he learned beforehand. It just seemed to go, rather smoothly. |

Yeah, like they said, it must be really simple with extravagant effects lol But just so you know, Kirito actually loves tinkering with computers and techie stuff. Might be a genius since he was doing it even as a little kid. |

| Weird all sub groups name her yulier, but on wiki her name is Yuriel, and Sinker as Thinker. Are the names on SOA Wiki wrong or what.. |

Maybe if this was established earlier on it would be more believable but nah, that's asking too much of this show. |

| Theres not a single episode of this series i dont like so far. |
| Great episode as always, although I felt strongly that the fight was again short (not surprising anymore), and the arc itself seemed short. Although it was short, it still was emotional with the ending, although it resolves(?) with her being saved. I don't get how that thing works, but I guess I don't have to worry about it until very much later. I also felt like the situation set up for Yui was very abrupt and quick, but that's what they did. Anyway, I am looking forward to what is next, since we didn't get any start at the end of the episode. 5/5 of course. |

Yeah..I'm just not hearing "Thinker" I'm hearing more of a "Sinker" when his name is said. Same goes for "Yuriel" being said as "Yulier".. Some guy said this on UTW POST: That’s what it called in “Engrish”. I really don’t like when the Japanese pronounce / write the english word using katakana words. It will cause ambiguous meaning or mistranslation. |

The arc after this one it stands for ALFheim Online, the current novel has 10 released volumes; the first two cover SAO, the next two cover ALO, the next two after that cover GGO, then 7 is a independent story focused on Asuna called Mothers Rosario, volume 8 is side stories and volume 9 and 10 are the latest arc Underworld. |

| good episode at least their is a chance for Yui to be revived |
| ppl here really have a low amount of tolerance for negative criticism anyway, I wonder if this series will keep focusing on "drama" like that sure as hell not what I hoped it would be |

| Lol at people forgetting this is a science fiction series with a nearly-fantasy-level digital technology. An AI that actually has emotions and personalities? Pfft. It's not an impossibility. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I really, truly wish that the fights would be handled with actual tactics instead of powerlevels and plot armor (i.e. deus ex machina). This is an MMO after all, where tactics should be paramount in the first place. There has been none of that so far, just Kirito winning the battle through awful and contrived plot devices or being insanely overpowered. There's no tension, it's just boring and disappointing. It's really a shame too because these fights have a lot of potential and could be something great if they were actually handled properly. Didn't enjoy the insanely cliche dialogue with Yui and her "heart" at the end either. |

InfiniteDestiny said: Hey buddy based on this + the pace as of this episode. Will they do GGO or stop before it? I would suggest highly to finish with GGO if they can and do 12 episodes series or 24 more of the rest and finish it up if possible.unj008 said: InfiniteDestiny said: Paul said: Watched it.

Yume, they'll be doing ALO for final 11 episodes. Aincrad ending at episode 14. Episode 13: Depths of hell Episode 14: The end of the world. judging by this. Don't click if you don't want to be spoiled. Purely my predictions on final 2 episodes. |

I wouldn't want them to either; GGO needs a proper adaption, not to be squeezed in with ALO; and i can see why they would want to end this season with ALO, and thats because how ALO ends has a lot of closure before GGO begins; many argued that the series itself could have ended there (glad it didn't tho since GGO is amazing). ALO is rather short compared to the rest so 11 episodes should be enough; people likely should lessen complaints also since it has no side stories; its structure is a "straight line" sort of adaption. That said tho the volumes for ALO are way inferior compared to SAO so it will be interesting to see how people receive it. |

Also finishing with ALO is good, as it is shorter then SAO and shouldn't be rushed. GGO would need its own adaptation like you mentioned. |

| I don't see why there is any confusion. It seemed clear to me that the reaper's tag was a redish "unknown" as seen by Kirito. It even has a red crystal. Whereas, Yui's tag is definitely a purple "Immortal Object". Through Asuna's view you can see the reaper through what seems to be clearly Yui's tag. In other words, the Immortal Oject tag was above Yui and never seen above the reaper. And as stated in the previous episode, she has no crystal. So I agree with those who say the Reaper was just a very high level monster --- probably around 90 like Kirito states. I imagine Yui had to hack the system because she has no stats in order to kill monsters but she herself couldn't be killed. |
 |
| Anyone reminded of Persona 3 reaper?? Random boss with high level that can appear at any stage lol it was a complete imitation lol Anyways as for the story idc I talked about it last week this anime isn't gonna be the action alot of people anticipated, its just a love story/slice of life...im just waiting for Laughing coffin that's it. Hopefully next week won't be a cliche as these past episodes I mean I could have watched a disney movie if I wanted to see that stuff ....lol jk but romance is fine but there really overdoing it now if they were training like they should have been they could have beaten that monster instead of playing SIMs or virtual family stuff...this ain't accel world this is a game that literally decides your life... i wouldn't be foolin around |
