| Cool episode, i like how Kirito lands on his head :) |
| I got a bad feeling this is gonna get torn apart in the next hour |
| Oh, Cool! A new game! Does this mean Kirito isn't ridiculously overpowered anymore?! Maybe he'll actually be a little vulnerable and interesting now! NOPE. He can stop lances from experienced players with his bare hands. Fuck this show. |
 |
| Animators here can learn from Chuunibyou for those fighting scenes. My good ness that Moe-anime actually puts out very impressive fighting action. At least relative to the ones out there now. Ugh... by the time the next episodes come out... ED applications to colleges are going to be freaking CLOSE. |

At least relative to the ones out there now. Ugh... by the time the next episodes come out... ED applications to colleges are going to be freaking CLOSE. haha yeah so agree, chuunibyou has a better battle animation lol that came first in my mind when I watched chuunibyo xD That'd simply be KyoAni being KyoAni, that being quality animation, all their recent titles are as well, but KyoAni seems to focus more on slice n life, school and comedy shows. Ufotable maybe but they haven't done much notable tv titles other than Fate/Zero. You'll rarely see good fighting animation in TV anime these days, usually repeated scenes, dragging screens/people from x to y, a bunch of flashy stuff to hide the lack of actual character animation, etc. Anyways, I quite enjoyed the episode, I had visualized it slightly different when I read it. Was fun watching Kirito face floor. |
| Wow, I'm actually surprised how much i really liked this episode. Yeah they missed out on a few things but I found those things in the novel irrelevant. RMNDolphy said: Oh, Cool! A new game!

Fuck this show. errr, were you even listening to the dialogue or reading the subs? unless you d'loaded trolled subs, Kirito admitted he went from beater to plain cheater....so yes Kirito is on hax mode but pretty sure that was explained in this episode. And I wouldn't even say it's hax for the plain fact that its well in ALO's parameters(meaning anyone playing the game can reach that level overtime) |
Awesome episode!!!I was getting worried that he was gonna be weak but Kirito was so freaking OP at the end! I was like fk yeh! also the music that was playing while Lyfa was getting ready to fight the 3 salamander dudes was awesome! *sigh* -_- one more week for the next episode... Yui omg!!!! so moeeeeeeeeee |
| legend is back! haha great episode indeed. |
| Yeah just think about how beautiful it is when it's reality graphics. A few games is close to reality so there is no doubt about 10 years from now on we will release our first VRMMO. itsvero said: ALO would be so fun to play in real life. The scenery is beautiful. Can't get over how ridic Kirito looks though, and the I'm guessing the blonde chick is probably Suguha from what the OP suggests. I liked the OST during the fight with those generic baddies but Kirito's "Who's next?" was so lame. Remember that Kirito will treat virtual reality as the reality. |

| Agree the paced have been better now. Animation can't just stop without saving Asuna. :D InfiniteDestiny said: The aerial fight felt a bit slow, and could have been better done but it should speed up a bit later. As for people saying Kirito is a cheater, well while he obviously is cheating people should also look at it another way, would it be reasonable for him to use a new account to do what he gotta do in his limited time frame? i mean think about it how long have people been playing ALO before him, its not like he is unbeatable either. Well in any case the pacing is being done well so thats something to be optimistic for. |

| Sigh...i knew this would happen but let me ask one question to all people who dislike Kirito being hax Do you honestly expect him to do his thing in a limited time frame with a new account with no help at all? i mean come on now, if he used a new account with no assistance and still won as all MCs do then that would be BS, but at least they gave reasoning and he even admitted to it, frankly i don't think he cares about cheating if it means seeing Asuna, i doubt anyone in his position would care about such morals when they are on a time limit. Also i said this before its not like he is head and shoulders above everyone in ALO, he will still struggle in ALO. |
|
| Alfheim versus Sword art.. in terms of the games interestingness.. I prefered SAO. ALfheim looks pretty stupid. However I'm happy to see Yui again~ I feel terrible for the way Asuna is being treated now in the story though..being abused and treated like she doesn't exist and has no feelings. blah I'm curious to see if any characters from SAO help Kirito out on his new adventures.. I refuse to read spoiler comments and stuff to find out though. |

He can stop lances from experienced players with his bare hands. Fuck this show. he could stop it coz kirito str stat is higher because his stat (lvl 100 in SAO) is transfered into ALO Oh, I understand the reason he's still overpowered, I just think it's just an asinine writing decision. Going into a new game gives the writer a chance to make Kirito into an actually interesting character by giving him vulnerabilities, imperfections, room for improvement and character development. But instead they opted to keep him an overpowered, invulnerable, one-dimensional, wish fulfilling Gary Stu. It's a wasted opportunity. |

| Just registered in order to discuss some anime. Anyways just watched episode 16 subbed. Skill levels kept! Apparently any similar skills had their levels changed to the ones he had in SAO Does ALO have overall levels? If so is kiritos current level like 97? 9.5/10 for this episode It was the start of a great arc in my OP. Edit Also quite dissapointed about the fact he deleted his items.... Damn i can understand their names and letters were changed to unknown but i wish he was still able to wear them. Wouldve been awesome if he kept his weapon and cloak and walked around town. |

| "huh three heavy fighters attacking a single girl? How lame Every episode they have to put some mysoginy do they? Neverthless it was still better than last episode. |
 |
| Pretty good episode.Nice landings Kirito :D.Lyfa is cute. |
 |
| Remember all his local data for SAO is saved in his nerve gear, just becuase this is a copy of Sword Art Online his data got kind of merge with ALO game. I can't wait for GGO arc, it's so going to be fun to see Kirito slice a bullet and can evade at zero point. That explain his reaction time to be the fastest in SAO. Click Spoiler box (SPAM) |

It's a wasted opportunity. whilst i'll agree with you at better character development, the rest of your point is unfounded. Vulnerabilities? Imperfections? He has a few days to search for Asuna in a game he was hesitant at first of going into thx to SAO and you expect him to be a Harayuki at start? errr...no |

The way he is now makes for a boring character due to the reasons I stated above. Some vulnerabilities and imperfections would do him some good. But hey, that would take competent writing. Let's not get our hopes up. |
|
| An Awesome Episode And An Absolutely Great Opening For The New Arc. And Also Loved The Fact That In ALO Kirito Dose Not Have To Start From Scratch. |
 |
| Alfheim looks okay , the ears kinda bug me though . Anyway , Kirito was a boss at the end xD |

It's more of on the lines of a plot device, but to be serious, he got less than a week to do what he has to do, it would be even more ridiculous if he would uber grinded to the top in like 2 days. Character development can be done elsewhere other than character power level. |

You can dislike things, but at least be reasonable about it. |
|
| Girls calm down, your all PRETTY. |
 |
| First of all thats cheating! OHH! WELL! kirito was a beater to begin with! Still getting all the attributes from the start from a different game is not fair! but sugu looked in her elf character! Yui becomes a pixie! i really like pixies! Remember the first time i saw on kaze no stigma!  great episode 9/10! at least this is better than the sao world! i means it at least tries to explain the plot! |
| I really liked the episode for some reason, even though I already knew what was going to happen. Think it was Kirito's attitude towards the three enemies at the end, reminded me of Luffy a little. |
RMNDolphy said: Oh, Cool! A new game! Does this mean Kirito isn't ridiculously overpowered anymore?! Maybe he'll actually be a little vulnerable and interesting now! NOPE. He can stop lances from experienced players with his bare hands. Fuck this show. did u pay atention? he delete his all item but not his skill lvl from SAO.. he said hes not a beater anymore but cheater.. :) |
|
| People who are complaining about his OPness: Do you not see what's going to happen to him? Of course, he's going to get his stuff taken from him. He named himself kirito knowing that that douchebag rapist knows his name, he knows that he should keep his power low key but he didn't. It's like every other metroidvania game out there, starting with a full set of items then getting it taken away then having to get those things back. Although, I'm all up for continuing the storyline, WHAT THE **** is wrong with the people in the real world? A similar game turned thousands of people into vegetables, some died in comatose, wouldn't that be like a "HEY! Maybe we shouldn't be playing games that requires us to plug in like that." Dumbasses. |
| The chip in my mind, it summons me. I gave my life to your machines. |

You can dislike things, but at least be reasonable about it. I didn't mean to extend the time by a year, just a couple weeks or so. It's about more than the meta level-up character development. Victories are much more satisfying when they feel earned and I doubt I will feel that way at the conclusion of this arc, just as I didn't at the conclusion of the first. There's nothing satisfying about Jesus bulldozing his way through a game, making brief stops along the way to beef up his harem. But this is all a matter of opinion and it's here where we probably just disagree on a very fundamental level. EstelleBright said: Girls calm down, your all PRETTY. awwww, shucks. Thanks! |

| Well it's cool to see blacksmith guy again at least. UGH NO NOT THAT STUPID ANNOYING LOLI AI. Why bring her back. Stupid loli computer program. Sigh.... Straight into elves and fairies. Now he's a beater and a cheater since they ripped off SAO to make the fairy game. That is very very convenient. Oh and what are the chances that girl he saved joins the harem? I still don't like the sister as a love interest even if he's not her actual brother. way too forced. |

| What's the punishment for dying in ALO? |

Marina2 said: ssjokg said: I am either getting brainwashed by the haters or the animation just got way worse... Do You mean the areal fight part???. Yeah, the animation in that part could've done better. I think characters fly too slow. I mean anything after Kirito did the FullDive. itsvero said: ALO would be so fun to play in real life. The scenery is beautiful. Can't get over how ridic Kirito looks though, and the I'm guessing the blonde chick is probably Suguha from what the OP suggests. I liked the OST during the fight with those generic baddies but Kirito's "Who's next?" was so lame. Where did the OP even suggest that?Because Lyfa and Kirito were holding hands?It also showed Asuna looking at them when she didnt even know that help was coming. |
RMNDolphy said: What's the punishment for dying in ALO? the same as any other game.Losing EXP or whatever ALO has I dont remember.... |
| pff, kirito the overpowered smug xD so many copy-paste mmorpgs even in fictional world |
 Fixes to make the Profile more bearable after "the Modern★Profile★Update★★Rip★Profile★" |
ssjokg said: RMNDolphy said: What's the punishment for dying in ALO? the same as any other game.Losing EXP or whatever ALO has I dont remember.... In ALO, I believe you lose a large portion of your equips/inventory. It goes to the team/person that killed you. |
| i like the new game, them being able to fly is awesome |
RMNDolphy said: What's the punishment for dying in ALO? you gonna be tp back to your home town or the town far away from the tree world, which is annoying because you have to fly a great distance in order to reach a destination. It's like check point. Fly to a town, check, if you're dead, you will be reborn into the town. Otherwise, if you're dead while traveling, you will be revived back to the previous check point, so you lose more time. And you can have all the items of players that you killed. RMNDolphy said: Oh, Cool! A new game! Does this mean Kirito isn't ridiculously overpowered anymore?! Maybe he'll actually be a little vulnerable and interesting now! NOPE. He can stop lances from experienced players with his bare hands. Fuck this show. Here it comes the writing, because the creator of ALO decide to use SAO's codes in order to transfer 300people including Asuna into ALO, he has to copy all the source codes and reused them. And ofc their stats/names would be kept the same. It applies for Kirito also. That's why he gains his old stats back in SAO. (that makes him a cheater, he admitted) If ALO system wasnt based on SAO's code, then Sugou couldn't transfer Asuna into ALO. |
