apatch3 said: Oh my the passion between Asuna and Kirito has reached record levels - I'm happy for them BUT I'm also very scared i.e. if their relationship is this strong this early on there's a good chance that Asuna (or maybe Kirito but less likely) WILL DIE at some point. SOMEBODY TELL ME THAT DOESNT HAPPEN OR I WILL DIE ON THE INSIDE |

| LOVE the kirino x asuna development, keep it up!!! :D and that speech about getting back to the real world really opened my eyes. i also figured that they could've just stayed there forever, but Asuna made her point clear about their real bodies, getting married for real, and whatnot also, DAMN THAT CLIFFHANGER!!! |

| ... it really does look like the boss party is composed of 5 player and several dozen of useless assholes... |
| bruh |
| Another great episode! The cliff hanger just about killed me tho... Everything about the episode was awesome.. the fishing, kirino x asuna, & the start of the fight.. Can't wait till next week :) |

I was shocked cause that implied that Kirito is to be responsible in keeping Asuna alive and his failure will be her dead.then 5 minutes later saying she's going to kill herself if Kirito dies so she better take her with him like an immature brat. Bad stress on Kirito. Really bad. That was totally not mature at all despite being older than Kirito being selfish seems to be a trait to her too. |

| Very high quantity of derp faces in this episode. Damn, that boss is so strong. There's no way to escape either. I'm sure they'll be able to make it, but not without losing some fine players along the way. |
 |
| Action was actually very exciting, and the animation looked cool. We need more of this and less of people fucking fishing. |
| Come visit my town // I apologize in advance for my second-rate English Join my fan club // Improve the transport network |
| Very glad this wasn't a stupid fishing filler. I was raging at the first half of the episode until it finally picked up with the large party vs the boss. |
 |
| This married couple is soooo.. sappy......and I love it : ) Pretty good episode..but just when it was getting good..it ended. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| Why do I feel like Asuna's gonna die? Otherwise, loved it :D :D |
| Heathcliff was looking pretty legendary this episode... a real badass. I still don't trust him though. At one point, the Skull Reaper seemed like it was avoiding him. I guess it could have been moving on to weaker players. But of course it doesn't help him seem any less suspicious. On the other hand, he did save Kirito and tried to save others. |
 |
| Suicide? Really, Asuna? They're taking this romance thing a bit too far. Typical teenage brats, I suppose. And I seriously hope they get some armor changes or something. Kirito's cloak has to be like... outdated already. He got it from how far back now? |

Heathcliff was waay too cool, everyone while everyone else was making shit faces at the boss he wasn't afraid of the boss whatsoever. He just stood his ground against the boss with an expression that said "is that all?" but i agree when you say it makes him look suspicious, it didn't seem like heathcliff even cared when his subordinates got annihilated in one blow while everyone else was just freaking out |

But the thing is his "Wrym Coat" is very valuable and durable so it can last a quite a few floors before it becomes useless. Also with all the crap thats been going on so far i doubt he had the time to gather materials to make a new one |

ahhitsfreedom said: guys i know this isn't related to episode 13 and i know i'm new here and whatnot but i think i've found another crossover link from sao to accel world. in episode 3 (4:48) you see a black hair guy and orange tannish hair girl identical to kirito and asuna in accel world and its talking sorta about the origins of accel world. i didn't know where to put this but i thought it was neat, if it were to be kirito and asuna, just wanted to share this with you guys!!! and episode 13 was awesome, loved how kirito just wants to protect asuna Checked it. lol They don't look the same :D But I can see the similarities~ Reference, maybe? |
| another action-packed episode! love to see everyone fight together to survive :) Kirito and Asuna looks great together~ if only there's any imba combo skills which u can pull out with your love ones.. :3 |

I know :/ I don't even know why they're at that floor when they're so weak. |
| There's so little to animate next episode before the volume ends? I wonder how the pacing for next week will be. I mean, they're doing a decent job adapting the not-so-easy-to- adapt novel. An interesting transition between two volumes in the middle of an episode eh. |

I know :/ I don't even know why they're at that floor when they're so weak. im thinking it was just a bunch of weak free-loaders who wanted to use this opportunity get free xp and some col by sitting back and letting the high levelled players deal with the boss but it seemed like the boss totally avoided heathcliff and went for the lower levelled players so jokes on them lol btw nice avatar, if im not mistaken thats inoue from bleach right? |

| wow... Heathcliff is a bad@ss, tanking like a boss |

I know :/ I don't even know why they're at that floor when they're so weak. Their deaths aside,the studio just went full retard there.I mean their armor seems jut a little bit better that the one they got when they started the game. Being front liners after 2 years you would expect them to have better equipment. I understand that the MC's and their friends have to stand out but come on.... |
| Im now its late but DraconisMarch´s reaction vid to this episode is up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCD6Cq9DNGk&list=UUvuPb07Dxc6aRUUzFdkZaYw&index=1&feature=plcp |
 |
| So the last couple of episodes have been fairly decent. I'm really hoping it doesn't drop off a cliff again (I'm looking at you, ep. 10), but we'll see. At the same time, this episode along with the last arc showcases how sometimes the script (adopted from the LN of course) can seem quite silly and immature. Granted, the author wrote this a decade ago and to the best of my knowledge didn't make mass edits before publishing it in 2009, but yes, there are some cringe-worthy lines. That whole "I'll never smile again," "I'm too worried about you to let you go to the frontlines," and "I'll commit suicide if you die"...urgh. Even taking their age into account, it's a bit melodramatic. Props to the fishing and lovey-dovey scenes; just the right amount of time devoted to each part. Most importantly, I think this episode did the battle scene some justice. The menacing and threatening presence of the boss was conveyed quite nicely, not to mention I enjoyed the fast paced action. This would be one of the few parts where the anime exceeded the LN in my opinion. The only part that didn't make sense was how people are still dressed like random goons even though they're supposed to be as high leveled as Asuna and Kirito. That and how they panicked like a bunch of newbs when they're supposed to be seasoned veterans. Oh, and can this series just not have CGI, ever? |

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 |

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. |
