| Sigh...I wonder if in just naive or overly optimistic to hope that he haters would tone down after great episodes or at least top episodes in this series but considering the amount of hate this series gets I guess I was both naive and overly optimistic to hope that the haters would tone down... Anyway as a LN reader these chapters were arguably my favorite in volume 1 along with the "ending" so I'm glad it got animated well, as for people calling BS on the hand you shouldn't assume something to be a plot hole simply because you can't understand it, all of this was clearly explained in the novel, now im well aware that it's no reason justification for the anime if it leaves stuff out, but at the same time people should get that no anime adapts everything, it's like you want it to spell it out or something T_T, also another note is while you don't have to like the show isn't calling it overrated pointless? First off its not like saying that opinion is beneficial to anyone and secondly couldnt the same be said of your favorite shows, just saying...there is a fine line between valid criticism and posts with hateful intention, if u dislike the show no one is forcing u to watch it, If u watch to hope it gets better than at least show your optimism by not posting with hate all the time Well in any case there should be 4 more episodes to the SAO arc, 2 for Yui and 2 for the "ending", looking forward to it, people may complain that Yuis story takes a step back but it's a needed one, and adds development to Kirito and Asuna while introducing a important character |

| lazy animation, as usual /yawns |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| I really panicked when Kirito's life is already in Red HP, thank god Asuna save him.. then after that .. I was like 'Hey w-wait .. this is going to fast? In the last episode they were fighting and suddenly they got reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal close that they even kiss .. and to the extent .. m-m-m-m-aariage ???!! Oh did they did 'it'? lol It's too fast I can't pick up >___< |

XD I was like 0_0 -_- <---- full 5 second blink. 0_o |

| >Takes off clothes > Embarrassed >Don't look at me uguuuu >B-b-b-bb---b-b-b-b-b-bb-b-b-b-b-b-b-baka! Typical bullshit. |
| Another great episode. Kinda expected that Kuradeel would try to kill Kirito and I seriously thought that Kirito lost his hand for good... |
| I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN |
Post-Josh said: jBui said: Post-Josh said: Cheesy as all hell, but I'd be lying if I said this wasn't my favourite episode so far. Show makes a better romance than it does anything else. Concept of duel was weak, duel itself was weak, obvious fan-service was weak. Also, what was with him getting his hand back? I thought the whole reason Asuna was crying was that he lost it and could no longer duel wield? I was yelling "luke!!!" at my screen, and then it just came back. That's some bullshit. SAO is not like real life, imagine if SAO didn't end up being a death game, if someone lost their hand would they have to remake a character because they lost a body part? no you just have to heal up and it grows back (just like what happend in this ep). I imagine losing a body part is a "status effect" like paralysis until you cure it somehow I understand that now, but that doesn't explain why they zoomed in on Kirito's hand disappearing and then Asuna balled her eyes out. What, she was so sorry that he had to take like, ten damage? I'm not sorry just because a Ratatat used tackle on my level 99 Pikachu. imho she cried b/c she felt responsible for Kirito killing someone and being dragged into this whole ordeal b/c of her guild |
| inb4 fanservice inb4 slut inb4 Did they do it? inb4 more bitching ( ¬‿¬) this made me laugh^ I SMELL HACKS, when the fight was going on or im just hella salty. Stupid ass bodyguard good he got what he deserved but does that make Kirito a PK'er? or not? anyways was wondering when all this was going to good down because one thing life has shown is that, some people cant bury the hatchet just like that, someone innocent had to die because of that, which sucks and thank god Kirito got his hand back was about to be pissed off, if he didnt...... and let the shit ton of festivities begin cuz we all know its down hill from here |

| So is 16.5 Official or not? So many different statements from fellow MAListers, Would be grateful if someone had a verification link. |

| Kirito's such a boss. He kissed her, fucked her, and then got married all in one day. I wish all protagonists were that assertive. |

| Lol, Kuradeel is sick. Best ep so far. Love the r/s development between Kirito and Asuna! Love the kiss too! Just wondering, did they really do 'it'? Asuna seems to be naked in the last scene, in her bed. O_O |

| Well the author may have wrote 16.5 he can declare whether it is canon or not because in one case the Side story there is but one ultimate way was written by the author yet declared not canon. |

DivisionG said: It was written by the Author himself, but it was a doujin which he wrote for fun, just like Sword Art Online: Material Editions The Material Edition (ME) series is a series of doujinshis created by Kawahara Reki himself using the pen name "Kunori Fumio" (the same pen name he used when he wrote the web novel of SAO). jBui said: Yumekichi11 said: LN/Doujin spoiler: LN/Doujin spoiler: it's an H-doujin, you better not read it ... |

I don't really see the point in debating whether 16.5 is official or unofficial, the ending of chapter 16 indicates they did it, 16.5 is there for people lacking imagination. |

| The sex talk aside I loved the duel and then Kirito killing someone with his bare hands how beastly is that? |
| I can't understand why Asuna can't fight her own battles. She's the one who wanted to go with Kirito, Kirito wasn't trying to steal from her guild so why does he has to fight for her? stupid. The fight scene was pretty cool though. Kirito went crazy the moment the fight started, I liked it. And look there, he actually loses sometimes. It was actually funny looking at him with that white uniform, I liked the black one more, and white doesn't suits him. It was really cool to see the crazy dude again, obvious that it would be a trap. Obvious too that Asuna would go and rescue him. Obvious too that she would hesitate on killing the crazy dude. Obvious that Kirito would have to jump in the fight and kill the crazy dude for her, not so obvious though that he would lose his hand. I wasn't expecting the love confession, kinda like wanted that to happened at the end or something, and stupid me because they were talking about marriage in the latest episodes. Oh, I misunderstood Kirito's words too, but kinda like hoped that he just wanted to spend time with her, and then... her really meant that! I was laughing so hard then because Asuna was already in her undies and the lights were off. They did have sex right? not cool. And, did they said they would 'take a break' from the guild thingy? does that mean we're going to watch their honeymoon life? Cause that doesn't sound interesting. Ehm, this is kinda messy and I apologize for that, can't really express myself and english is not my fort. But hey, at least is readable. |
| I can't believe how fast this thread have grown in just a couple of days since EP10 got released, seems to me everyone is anticipating theVol1 Chap16 adaption so badly :D |
| Sooo On The Last Part About Kirito Said Something Dumb, Was That A Cock-Block Or Not? |

| The episode was okay; the duel was nice, though overall there could've been several things done to streamline the story telling a bit. Not bad though. |
 |
| Wowowowowow, they're already up to Chapter 16? That was FAST. o_o Must have cut out so many details, I need to read the novel now =_= |

| What caused Kirito to red out when he was fighting the guild leader? Was that something in the real world that caused it or was that another special move/hack that the Guild leader had? I stopped at this part in the manga so I'm not sure if it was ever answered or not. |

uneksia said: What an emotion you have got there ... I haven't experienced it since the day I watched Clannad ... Actually I wouldn't expect Asuna to come and rescued him If I hadn't read the novel ... I might thought he was just gonna pull something out again to amaze the audience lol. And yes we're gonna watch their honeymoon life in the next couple of episode. |

| Adaptation is almost completely shit. If they fail my Yui arc then I will be very mad indeed. But ... DIDN'T MATTER; HAD SEX. |

DeathfireD said: It was just a super-slow motion scene where Heathcliff's shield moved in an unnatural speed to block.

| wow, this escalated quickly, so this was like 10 chapters long in the LN, and 20 mins, wow, thts amazing (i can still imagine the narrating voice of kirito explaing everything that happens...i wanna read the LN again...i think i have a problem with this series) |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| and i approve their marriage :) best ep so far, it just soo swEEt~ >.< |
