So there were 2 scenes that for me were straight up cringe. 

1) Where Asuna and Mito hug. It starts off with a straight shot of them hugging and they start their long talk as they should but then quickly switches to another shot. This shot is from behind Mito on the ground looking up, looks like a typical shot most anime’s would use for a booty shot but this isn’t one. This shot lasts for a good minute and a half, the rest of this heart warming discussion. I thought to myself “okay is there something in this particular angle I need to be focused on maybe some jewelry or she is sliding something into her pocket?” But no it’s just this weird butt shot with a heartwarming talk happening as well. I wish they added in more angles or kept it as that one

2) The Asuna and Kirito post raid interaction. They talk and she cries (per usual) and she brings up praising him. She then says “let me praise you, get on your knees” to where he gets on his knees and she hugs him and his head is on her stomach area. Now I am 90% sure she said the word praise. This is probably lost in translation as I don’t understand how this scene is her praising him. He gets on his knees and for a whole minute it’s this one shot of her just petting his head and that’s it. She doesn’t say anything else just let his head. I know here they are working their way up to a relationship but this is totally random and seems so bizarre. It was an awkward delivery. The main point is they wanted THIS scene in the movie but they had to find a way to fit it in and the delivery is weird. From the line of “let me praise you” to “get on your knees” to just then complete silence and her rubbing his head and that scene is then over. I was in the theatre and I felt so uncomfortable. 

But anyway let me know what you guys think or if there were any other scenes that you want to talk about.

1. Wasn't even an ass shot because there was nothing to see. Covered up and flat. So it wasn't fanservice, not sure what was the point of that angle.

2. Was expecting a kiss, not a chest hug and stroking his head. Odd indeed.

To me, the truly cringe moment was the bath scene with Asuna and Argo, it was pointless fanservice that went for way too long and didn't even set up anything. What was even the point of Argo being able to walk on water?

I didn't even notice the Mito bum shot, and the hugging scene didn't bother me, I actually thought it was quite sweet.

2) Kirito is sad but doesn't show it. It's the typical scene where the mc is comforted by the fmc, more in a motherly way than in a romantic one

Agree with both. Scene (1) especially is very weird, IIRC it was a shot of a single static image? Took a long ass time to finish, too.

it was also a revelation about the capabilities of Argo to Asuna since she was worried about her, the main point of the whole scene was to inform Asuna that Argo can handle herself in dangerous situations and what you said as well as a side bonus.

None of this shit was too cringe, ya'll have weird standards. The head pat was a little weird, that's about it.

I liked all the fanservice from the three.

The walking on water, yeah that didn't seem to go anywhere. I'm glad Argo didn't perish though.

TBH, except few worthy moments, the whole movie is one huge pile of cringe
