Lol'd at the mod warning, that's a first. We'll see how that turns out, I'm sure a lot of people don't even read the first post.


Lmao pretty much but seeing as its in red and its the first page you get upon clicking it won't go that unnoticed.
Like blackbird and some others said it was pretty boring not much happened.

However I feel it's stupid to let the consoles continue after such an epidemic with them in real life they would investigate the call like recalls etc even though I love games it would be stupid to put yourself in harms way again especially after a event that happened in the past. Either the anime doesn't give a description of the time gap between the last game.

Habit of mines to click the last page link, which we'll get after a couple more pages and we all know SAO threads get like 20~30 pages.

I am tempted to just wait until this series is done to finish watching that.. or at least I want to. Even though I say that, I'll still watch it week by week.. All I mean is, that this is getting hard to stand. Suguha is annoying as hell for one and that creepy fairy jerkoff is even worse to watch.

Episode was alright.
My only complain is that it seems that this one ended too soon...as in, it feels like in those 20 minutes there wasn't a lot of content and this episode just went too quickly, and now I have to wait a week for the next one.
It might be just me, though.

Poor Asuna. When people were trapped in SAO they had plenty things to do, and could also entertain themselves. Asuna in cage can only sleep and wait for another Sugou visit, with only small hope that Kirito will save her, but

He's researching this possibility, but it's not still finished. That's one of the reasons, why Kirito must hurry.

Okay, Sugou really is an ass! Man, human experimentation is not cool! Hopefully he doesn't do anything fishy to Asuna, I have a feeling he will though. At least he's playing his part as a villain well enough though. Suguha's in for a real surprise once she finds out who Kirito really is. Honestly though, hasn't she ever heard of her brother's famous avatar name by now?! She should have known who he was immediately! Oh well, whatever. Good episode in my opinion. Dilemma's been set up well, just gotta wait and see how everything plays out.

Yep, It has started!! As expected, the Sugou scene was absolutely as I was fearing. It's really gonna be tough to watch them all T_T but well I gotta say the animation was awesome. And ALO world is beautiful.
The scenes other than Asuna were all really good, animated Lyfa/Sugu is sooo cute!!!
And Kirito is as awesome as usual XD...really loved the Yui and Kirito bed scene :)

It is truly unfortunate Sugou doesn't have a mustache to twirl; It would really tie his whole "incredibly generic villain" motif together perfectly.

Not much to say about this episode. It was pretty dull and par for the course. Nothing too bad. I find it a little hard to believe they can't recognize each other's voice after knowing each other their whole life, but that's a relatively small problem. Still don't care for the premise of this entire arc.

Not trying to be rude to other users but considering some users couldn't even tell she was her in the previous thread from the voice, I can totally see Kirito not being able to.

Voice is changed in VRMMORPG. In SAO avatars and voices were reverted to real, but in usual VRMMORPG voice goes in complect with avatar. Quote from SAO volume 1 chapter 2
Klein continued in his low vigorous voice, which (of course) was different from his real voice as well.

It's hard to animate, so I don"t remember whether it was mentioned in episode 1. Kirito spriggan avatar also differs from his real body, so due to these reasons it's impossibe to tell at once who is who, not enough information (Kirito in ALO has not mentioned Asuna name or SAO).

I still can't stomach the Kirito and Sugu stuff. Like... why. ALO is such an awesome world though. Wish I could play something like that.

Lol at Sugou being such a bad villain. I bet he's gonna have some sort of a ~dark past~ revealed or something soon.


It's all about Sugou. We've heard all his motives in this episode - money and power. Why he had become like that is not relevant to the story, but this is probably story of greed and jealosy (to Kayaba, who was much more capable, and wasn't greedy at all).

@Marow

Have you seen the past SAO threads? It turns into a fireball of flames.

I have, but that's no reason to not allow arguing. Just keep it at a civil level. And considering the other warnings brought up, it seems mods will watch over this thread, making it even more confusing.

(if we want to be silly, what will the threads be about now anyway? Appreciation threads? I don't like weird restrictions like these)


Just like how mods act in other forums: Flames, rage, trolls, deter others from posting on the forum. Flaming is insensitive, damages the reputation of the forum, and can often get out of hand, resulting in hate messages on a personal level. Admins and web hosts don't want to be liable for that.

I don't know about you, but one reason why I don't go on 4chan or even reply/read Youtube comments is because they're often filled with uneducated, poorly raised people, making them pointless to reply to; thus, making it pointless for me to even visit/look at those types of forums/message board.

Capisce?

It's strange how Leafa didn't even think how Kirito is asking her about a game where he is so good at already. That was pretty bad imho. She should have been at least surprised because of his skill level doesn't make sense for a new player.

I am also a bit surprised that she didn't realize Kirito is Kazuto. The whole world (well not the whole, probably entire Japan) knows about him as the hero from SAO and they probably have identified his nick in the game. And if I recall correctly, it was a huge news all over, right? But yeah, I guess Suguha never really pried into it, so I will let that part slide.

Other than that, I found the episode pretty good. Much better than the last episode. It's a downer that such a promising character like Asuna has become so weak as the series progressed. Romance usually makes characters stronger. SAO has made it the complete opposite.

Ugh! I hated Nomi so much that I deleted him from my mind. Nomi really is a douche and now we finally get to see why Sugou is hated so much after reading posters comments on him all these weeks. I have to say he really is a dick.

That funny flying scene where Kirito was flying around uncontrollably and those three zooming through the sky were the so nice. It was cute how Yui couldn't keep up so she went into Kirito's pocket. I swear I want a fairy like her too and that landing... lol

Suguha looked really hot in ALO which makes me even more sorry for Suguha. She likes Kirito while he's deeply in love with Asuna and now she's in love with Kirito in ALO but doesn't know it. I can only imagine how heartbroken she'd be when she finds out.

LOL @ the wall of red from the moderators. While I agree with troll posts being deleted, I do wish I could have read them before they were deleted to get a good laugh at how stupid they were.

Finally, it took 16 threads of flame wars for the mods to finally bring civility to this board. :)

Now onto the episode. Great scenery. I hope to see more of Alfheim soon.

As for Sugou, yeah to me he's pretty much just an archetype of the all too familiar power-hungry villain. All about money and control for him. With the whole creepy pedo thing mixed in. :/

The world doesn't know about him. The authorities in charge haven't released any user names to anyone, much less the real world identities of anyone. And while anime artstyle does a poor job of depicting it, Kirito's ALO avatar does not have a face identical to his real face.
