Characters keep getting killed off before I can even have a chance to give a crap about them. It's as if the show is desperately trying to draw some kind of emotion out of me and failing miserably. I'm tempted to drop this, but I still want to know how it ends. :/ |

Its become so repetitive also; the things they didn't like last week they won't like this week or the week after; and then they complain as if they are shocked about it. At the end of this arc I would like to see a compilation of the ad nauseam complaints we've had in the threads. Anyways one of the main themes of SAO is what is the difference between Real Life and Virtual Life. Even if AI's are a bunch of Data, what makes them different if they start to emulate humans? On the other hand the true analysis of this theme is going to be explored way later on past this arc so it's no use discussing it anyways. |

InfiniteDestiny said: Paul said: Watched it. Again didn't really care much about Yui but Kirito's random comments were fun. "She's in her rebellious stage" made me lulz. The frog leg scene was fun as well. Strange, I might forgetting something but can someone remind me... If i remember correctly Yui's program has been saved in kirito's nerve gear, that's why he has it. But he gave it to Asuna as a necklace in SAO. This arc is not so bad, but I enjoy it more in the novel though. Everything was touching [in the novel]. |

This arc did nothing for me and just felt like filler. People crying over AI? Really? |

Well, this episodes logic was very similar to Matrix and actually liked that. However, after the preview, i was expected more action but episode was sensation loaded. But i still loved this episode. i think the episode deserves at least 4/5 because fiction was good, musics was good, action scenes limited but acceptable and i still wonder what will happen to next episode. That's why i given 4/5. -if producers made more action based episode, i'll definitely give 5/5 but... "you don't always get what you want" right? |

Well.........Yui is (seemingly) gone...............FUCK. To not seem like a blind hater,I'm gonna state to good of this episode first: Yui,Art,Soundtrack & we're done with our honeymoon....Oh and the frog legs......nuff said. Just to be clear,I do believe I am getting slightly annoyed with this series.And now it's time to start crying my problems with this episode: Everything up until the last few minutes with Yui felt pointless as a blank sheet of paper.I have a feeling there may have been some foreshadowing earlier in the episode;but due to me not give a crap,I don't care.Well,Yui was being cute :)....but other that,I don't care -_-. Now for the finally scene,this was ironically the best yet worst part of the episode.While I was tearing up,a bit,to the saddening scene of Yui saying her goodbyes,I wondering if I'm the only who notice how obviously unbelievable their relationship is.Ma & Pa just met Yui 2 days before yet acting like they lost a friend they knew for years?I know the cuteness of Yui is over 9,000 but it can't defy the logic of relationship building.......I think..........maybe it can......I don't know. And Asuna......I still don't like her.Kirito is alright. Yeah,I think that's it...........uh,how are you?

Well to say they got caught up in the moment of a relationship that was short lived would indeed be correct; that i won't argue; but to people in that world bonds are important; and even if she was an AI she still looked like a little girl so its not that strange to think that they would take it harder based on that reasoning that said tho |

The drama with yui at the end of the episode was so bad, forced and cliche it made me die of laughter.  |

Man I really want to give it a 4 but that whole sequence at the end was so offbeat. I understand it was a sad moment but Asuna hit her cry dramatically cue at least 3 separate times. Good episode. Less than mediocre ending.  |
