This is the absolute best and most realistic romance in the whole world. The characters had lots of deep and meaningful interactions and were definitely at the point where marriage should happen. SOA is the best show I've ever seen.

The beginning of this episode made me very tense.
The middle made me very angry.
The end made me all warm inside! \(^ 3 ^)/

Nuff said.

This is an anime episode discussion thread, not about general ratings, other anime, etc.

Also, if you have to write about the light novel, then please use spoiler tags and label them so that others know that it's LN stuff. But still keep in mind that it's an anime discussion thread, not an "compare the anime adaptation to the LN" thread. There are people who just want to discuss the anime, nothing else. If you want to compare the anime to the LN then do it in a separate thread.

Oh well overall MAL is just a place for me to put my anime list on (ofc with the help of rating, adding stuff make it easier than using word office,excel).

I couldn't care less about how people rate their stuff, I mean, who cares? Each person has different perspective/taste, throughout years of watching anime(or hundreds of show), they will be changed, and also their point of view. ---> Therefore the "edit" button exists.

Bias is also a subjective matter, we created the standard ourselves, therefore bias exists. We're always biased, no matter how you look.

Judging a show, give it a score, you can think of many aspects to judge a show, "this story is flawless", or " actually there is a plot hole" and give it a score. Overall it's just purely your opinion on it, but here comes the complicated part, the more people who have the same idea as you, agree on that matter, the more you're right ( great minds think alike), and an "invisible standard has been created", if another person crosses the line ( think differently from majority of the community), he or she is biased.

But it doesn't make the community becomes right either.

Overall it's just "opinions" that matter ...

lol thank gawd~

Still over 600 comments and 30 pages, and I actually went through all of it Dx (Is this like one of the longest threads in MAL ever? D:) but its soo funny to read how such irreverent things get dragged on in a single thread of S.A.O, half things discussed felt just like a sociology lesson xD oh the humanity~

On an episode note, it was very sweet <3 I thought the animation quality was whole lot more better improved than previously, especially during the duel +1

looking forward to how the rest turns out~

So if Kuradeel was in both the Knights of Blood and the Laughing Coffin, does that mean that within SAO you can be a member of more than one guild at the same time?

Most MMO's I know won't let you do that, but I guess the evil PK'ers have to have their sneaky infiltration thing going on!

This episode was so bad, it's impressive. Putting 3 major events in one episode and making all of them boring and emotionless is quite the feet.

As much as I would love to say "Oh my god I'm loving this anime so much". I just feel like now the episodes are getting ridiculously fast paced and rushed. I feel like I'm skimming through pages of a book instead of reading it through. And each episode seems as though its barely10 minutes rather than 20 :L Thats just me though. I love the concept and the characters and everything. I'm definitely going to start reading the light novel soon since it seems as though the anime is throwing out a lot of parts important in the story :C

1. FUCK that Kuraandal Guy from Episode 8. He's just getting on my freaking nerves.

He should've deserved to get killed in the first place. But now he's dead. I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL, you ass-wipe.

2. Looks like Kirito & Asuna's romantic tension has been reached the new stage!

Great moments in this anime.
The fight between Kirito and Heathcliff, who incidentally either cheated or used some weird unique move on him to win.
Kuradeel revealing his true colours was pretty intense.
Asuna coming to the rescue and destroying his face with lightning-quick strikes.
Asuna's dere and wild side unleashed!
Marriage!

I wasn't even that offended with Asuna's bra and panties (which I usually hate) because it was done in good humour at the end and because they nailed the facial expressions =D

Now, I hope that the "Kuroyukihime effect" doesn't infect Asuna.
(Kuroyukihime effect: When a character with as much awesomeness and badass potential as Kuroyukihime fawns over the male lead like a little school girl, becomes useless or passive, loses her sharp tongue or wit and/or is relegated only to fanservice duty after having confessed her feelings.)

I'm guessing Kuradeel left coffin in order to join knights of blood as some kind of infiltration kind of thing. and the tattoo is something you can keep even after leaving laughing coffin. Just a guess.

guildwars 2 lets you do that but thats a new game, maybe Kuradeel just got the tattoo and wanted to stay in the KoB until he killed Kirito and officially join Laughing Coffin afterwards

To put it simply they took part in an event called pin the penisu on the vaggo, but since the system was still in beta-phase, they had to cut it out from the episode due to lag and unprecedented glopping.

Argh I knew that dude wasn't to be trusted... you can see it on his face and in his eyes. Just wasn't right. Poor dude died and Kirito almost joined in. Though atleast the ending is nice... I am hoping the next episode is even better and exceeds my expectations. Yay for SAO!

Come to think of it, I feel kinda sorry for Kirito after seeing Asuna's rapier thrusting skills, there's the danger of him becoming a lesser man one night.

He fought for her because he felt like it. I interpreted it as a spur of the moment move. She's more than capable of fighting her own battles, but Kirito lost his head at Heathcliff's possessiveness ("If you think you can have her, fight for her" sort of deal)


I'm not so sure about that. I mean THE Kirito lost that fight, I don't think Asuna would do better.

He lost, but not because of a lack of skill on his part.

As an LN reader, allow me to unleash a bunch of LN spoilers for you all that will hopefully clear some things up. (NOTE: I made this from quickly reading through the first 5 pages so sorry if someone already covered it.

In regards to sex in SAO:


As for whether or not the sex actually occurred:


Kuradeel and laughing coffin


Kirito's first kill (NOTE: This is part of the LN, not sure if it's part of the anime since it's never mentioned)
I'm not racist, I'm Asian too. D:

On another note, where are you getting the episode all earlylike.


streaming ... just use google, but I'm better wait for subs cause I don't want to watch things I don't understand.


Why so mean? What did tsubasalover do to you.

Great episode , i loved it so much, can't wait for the next one, i wonder what will happen, i want to see more kiss scenes. I have this weird feeling that that Heatcliff will actually be the evil guy behind it all.
