| Need more Leafa fanservice and less Suguha. :( |
    |
It was an excuse for me to go back and watch episode 14. ;) |
| Watched this episode for the 'plots'. Otherwise, not much different from the previous where nothing much really happened. |
| he reminds me of Zack from ff7, i just couldnt help but laugh i mean come on, his clothes, his spikey black hair and even the sword is similar |
   |
| Why does everyone hate Sugou so much? Another horrible episode. Sugou being a creep was cool though. |

He kinda reminds me of an oversized puck. |
| This show seems to have hit it's stride. And by "hit it's stride," I mean "consistently boring but at least it's not as bad as episode 14." I wish Sugou talked like a gangster in 50's mob flicks and ended all his sentences in ",see?" "I met Kirito, see? I met him in the real world, See?" A tommy gun would be neat too. |
 |
| If it saves anyone some time, holding up a mirror while playing back the Sugu fanservice scene doesn't work. XD Thoughts on the episode: * It's nice seeing Suguha's reasons for diving in ALO * Another power hungry d-bag appears ugh. * Being Recon is suffering * Kirito looks like one of the Post-FF6 characters * So much of Sugu's SUGU'S! * RAEG * Cliffhanger, can't wait for the next episode This arc feels a lot slower than SAO. Although we do get to see how a VRMMO works if it doesn't have the whole dying penalty. |

Nope. I'm not trolling and it's true he amuses me because of his character. And I didn't say anything about you Sugou haters are insane or implying on that level. |

| Just when I was liking ALO, I found this episode rather weak, mainly because of that conflict between Lyfa and her possesive party leader. If they were trapped in SAO, I would understand it, but here it´s feels a bit exagerated, even with the whole Territory and Renegade thing. At least they didn´t conclude it with Kirito fighting for her dignity (I think Lyfa should have fend them off without his help, though). While I dislike Asuna, I want to see how she´ll try her escape... 3/5 |
 |
| Kirito and his knock off Dragon Slayer. Guts does not approve. |

I could argue that it´s retarded to despise a blatantly bad written villian. His machiavelic attitude is managed in such an unsubtle way that it´s funny, actually. |

| that has to be one of the lamest villains ive seen in a while |

| Dat End :O Looks like those duds are going to gank them hard. Looking forward to the next ep. |

| Ah Sugou, you make me rage so good. <3 |

JavierR said: Got my weekly dose of sugou im satisfied. DEFILE THAT WOMAN Also I have a question for LN readers, is Kirito actually a likable character in the LN and after this game does he become famous or something? He's more likable in the anime actually. Uhhh not really. Then again I quit reading in the middle of GGO because it was so stupid, so maybe after that. |

Uh I don't think people really care that much for Fate path Shirou, regardless of the medium. People didn't like him until UBW and HF which the anime never got to. |

DEFILE THAT WOMAN Also I have a question for LN readers, is Kirito actually a likable character in the LN and after this game does he become famous or something?  Anyway, back to the episode, this was rather a good one and I enjoyed it a lot. The artworks, especially the scenery, backgrounds are beautifully drawn and I could imagine they look closely to what I have expected when I read the novel. Good job A-1. There were some developments and conflicts in Lyfa and I like it. She's an adorable char but too bad for her though :( |

I didn't know people even hated him in the anime. Just thought it was a poor poor adaption, not really a comparison to the SAO adaption which is actually pretty accurate to its source material. |

FSN anime was pretty accurate to the events.But in char development they have the same problems.Except that SAO didnt have any filler arc till now. |

| Ganna drop this series until this arc ends, i'll pick it back up once it finishes. |

JavierR said: I didn't watch FSN so I don't know the difference. I'm staying the fuck away from that anime. I'm satisfied with the VN. I'm defintely going to read the LN after the anime's finished, maybe I'll actually like SAO. LN tends to be better than the anime, like im reading ZnT and i think its better than the anime already im only on volume 2 Yes sure they are, ZnT series are just ... bad(and they still milk it into 4season), I enjoy the novel more. |

Uh yes it did. It has all the problems people list with SAO (trust me, they left out a crap load of stuff and changed some stuff around and was very rushed in spots). Just that the execution and core story and characters were all better so no one really cared. The fate route is the weakest route in FSN so there really was no helping that if the directors didn't feel like putting effort into it. |

| last episode when they showed Asuna looking at the keypad thing and it was pixelated i thought that might be foreshadowing that she was going to figure out a way to get that code, but i thought then what would be the point of Kirito coming in to save her if she gets out herself. and then this episode that's exactly what happened she figured out the code, so i guess Kirito isn't gonna have to do anything since now she can get out herself, idk |
hyperknees91 said: The fate route is the weakest route in FSN so there really was no helping that if the directors didn't feel like putting effort into it. Actually FSN was one of the "decent" adaptation back in 2006 came from DEEN. It's just that the adaptation of FZ made it looks like crap. And there weren't any successful titles of decent adaptation at that point of time. |

The fate route is the weakest route in FSN so there really was no helping that if the directors didn't feel like putting effort into it.[ I'm just saying the SAO adaption is actually more accurate than the Steins Gate adaption. It's all about execution, and copying the novel word for word would not have helped as much as smarter directing (and a better plot, that probably would help too). |

And there weren't any successful titles of decent adaptation at that point of time. Well the "Fate" route is kinda crap compared to Fate Zero anyway. Don't get me wrong I still kinda like it, it just kinda pales in comparison you know? The main problem with that adapation is it seriously had no budget....none! (except for the music). |
| Nice ep. And finally, they learned to add a bit of dramatic feel to the ending. |
| Suguha isn't cool with Recon. Sugou is still great though! |
