My Devianart Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan. |

baltazak said: seriously how can you say that is a good episode!! -_- If you expect people to respect your opinions even though you maintain no real basis for it (or at least don't explain it) then at least respect other peoples opinions, the first freaken 10 pages or w/e were about this very thing. |

Sorry to tell you this but this is part of main story as well. Paul said: Jeddy017 said: So,when are we going to move back on with the story?Wait....this is the story?Oh.....when can I get to see more of Liz or Kiene?I'm sorry,but they had too little screen time. Main story will be back on Ep 13. AzylSagara said: I was won over the Asuna x Kirito moments of them being together makes me tug my feelings with my first love. Yui looks like Sachi to me I'm guessing there's some connection or it may just be me. None. It's not a spoiler. |

I wouldn't be surprised, i can imagine well enough how people will respond, but i personally thought it was a good twist and didn't mind the whole Kirito dying yet still getting the final strike in, just like him struggling to walk to find Asuna after he wakes up, there are some things that are used for emotion regardless of whether its technically sound in peoples eyes. |

Tsundereppoi said: The reason this episode received a low rating is probably primarily because SAO attracts the wrong audiences for the wrong reasons. Shounen-bakas don't like happy-family lovey dovey stuff, in fact it makes them nauseous. As for me, loved it for all the right reasons! Just hate cliffhangers. Excuse me but it's not like that. I like romance. I can tolerate it if it's well done. I admit, I don't like romance to be the focus of the story almost never but if it's well done it's okay. SAO has not made a good romance. Maybe in the LN and that may be the reason why the LN readers keep defending the anime adaptation, because you read the whole story and liked it but us who are only watching the anime adaptation see a lot of flaws in this anime. It's not because romance makes us nauseous. |

So i get it straight does the romance in this series bother you because its fast paced? because if so and i'm not mistaken then you should understand that it doesn't take to long to form relationships and if you take the time skip into account it was a long time coming, but you are right the LN portrays this WAY better, that said just like people have a lot of hate for shows with hype like SAO, they should also have a bit of understanding that no anime will ever match its original source perfectly, for LN its even harder, i mean just look at how rushed Campione is....(episode 1 covered an entire freaken novel) |

Yes I'm a LN reader, have reading it until Sword Art Online Volume 10 Chapter 4 Ah right I will remind every LN reader to start reading chapter 4 part 1, it's have been release already but what I can see but not fully translate yet. @uneksia: Yes, I can see those flaws already since the anime is too rushing but they do cover the most important. O_o LN is a masterpiece but yeah I can see those flaws as well for the anime , but usually I don't care much for that, it's still quite enjoyable. This anime was focus for LN readers and the readers obviously want an anime for SAO LN. I still can't believe people still flaming this thread by shit. I know when I see a good anime, becuase I watch all kind of anime. The most important part for me that anime is interesting. When I do think it's boring I just drop it but even so I'm trying to watch a couple of episodes. This setting between Kirito x Asuna is really good, what is it to complain anyway? It's was kind of heartwarming episode. Yui~ " Papa, Mama " So when can we see Suguha? The novels sure have getting more interesting :) |

I know you can develop feelings for someone very quickly but when did this happened in SAO? Because I missed it. The main couple has no chemistry to me. Eve now I can't see the love between them, I honestly think that Kirito had more chemistry with the pink haired girl. I understand too that it is not easy to portray it the same as the LN, but there are other anime based on LN that portray the romance in a much better way. Exaples: Shouma & Ringo from Mawaru Penguindrum, Shinra & Celty from DRRR and Nezumi & Shion from No. 6. Those are from LN and the romance there felt real, i'm not talking about the anime in general because they all had flaws. You guys keep defending the LN and I think everybody already understand that the LN must be good but you also need to understand that if you need the knowledge from the LN to feel it real or to like it then it fails as an anime adaptation.

(LN Reader ) WOW First off, I like to say YUI Seiyu did a great job. Thank you very much and she was way 2 Cute. Damn did I just want to hug her in the novel and in this episode. Also, based on the polls, not alot of people liked this episode. I was looking forward to the happy couple life and meeting YUI :) But There there was some things left out of course, one being the Town of Beginning and how they met the nun and the kids at the Chuch and stuff . I also wished they mention that Asuna wakes up 5 minutes before Kirito alarm clock to see his sleeping face. Oh well. Love the family and will ALO start as soon as probably the 16th episode. That is way to quick. I am on Volume 3 Chapter 4 as of today. Do they really plan on doing ALO in the remaining episodes. Also please don't misunderstand this, I love the series and the novel and I think they are doing there best in having some information being compacted into one episode. |

Kirito loves her because she actually protected him and he just fucking loves her cooking. Its not even rushed...their love i mean |

WrathSC said: I dont think the fishing part is needed for the anime but the more the merrier lol Well not as part of the anime (since with the Yui SS it would be hard to fit in) but as a special on the side it would be nice as it would explain why Asuna has liked Kirito for so long. I actually really liked that part where she was explaining it to that old guy who was fishing with the two of them. |

I liked the episode though , but i want to know what's the deal with the little girl Uchihafan25 said: I'm really intrigued with Yui, I wonder what her deal is? Maybe she's some apocalypse child of SAO?! That would be cool! Oh, and all of those Kirito x Asuna moments were toothache inducing! :D Yui isn't a "Side" Character. She's a "Supporting" Character - big difference. Once you realize that, and Yui's origins, you can appreciate this episode a little more. Yui is the daughter of Asuna and Kirito, literally if not conventionally... Yui was initially created as a monitoring program to help SAO players emotionally, basically a "Counselor" AI who could relate to and comfort humans. However, once the SAO began, she was disabled or deleted. She didn't disappear but neither could she interact with the game - in much the same way that your deleted computer files are not erased, it's just that your computer doesn't know where to find them even if it's still in the memory. In short, Yui was in a state of limbo for two years. And for her, those two years were spent in Hell because she could sense the tormented and twisted emotions of the players, but couldn't do anything about it. Yui was a Lost Soul. She was only able to escape after being pulled/attracted to Kirito & Asuna's love-making. If you believe, as some religions do, that souls are reborn at conception between a Man and Woman, then Asuna & Kirito's quite literally conceived and gave birth to Yui. Their love-making acted as a kind of recovery program to recall Yui from the abyss. An unconventional birth for a child, yet amazingly poetic. So where anime-viewers only see a boring cliche of Asuna and Kirito "playing house", LN readers know that what they're really watching is Yui's salvation and rebirth. great episode. :] but the ending was a bit strange i wonder what that was all about.. o_O; Aphton gave you a hint: aphton said: Yui is prone to a bufferoverflow bug Translation: she’s receiving a boatload of information and can’t handle it. What’s happening is: Yui is remembering her “previous” lifetime, not simply her purpose as a Counselor AI, but also the two years of torment she spent in “Hell”. winter_mint said: I miss Lizbeth badly. >_< I miss Silica very very very badly. T_T If only there's an extra episode where everyone go for a picnic or something. However, I do agree that Kirito and Asuna make quite a good couple and Yui will be an awesome daughter. Wish them the best!! :') Oh they’ll be together again… There’s a story arc where they all do a dungeon together to get Kirito a sword. It’s really fun [to read anyway]. Unfortunately, it won’t be in this series; possibly the next series if there is one or an OVA side-story. kenshin_sama said: Kirito x Asuna moments made this really enjoyable. Yui is cute too. ^^ I’m really glad they slow-played it. I know many of the anime-viewers want action, but this really was a treat to watch. |

Nothing wrong with that but so far all we get from her is...she's a tsundere..and yeah that's all there is to her character at this point. |

TIME TO PUT SOME COLORS! Ahem, they still do kick ass poses. Of all the episode and suddenly this. The delight must have been very good on many. Asuna fans that like her in combat especially. To me it showed Asuna can be an aggressive mother. Ready to protect kids or those she deems precious from harm's way. Notice the Asuna serious face there. I still find the SFX of that part quite good. |

But as I said before, I have no problems understanding her love. It's Kirito's love the one I don't understand and feels empty to me, which leaves me unsatisfied because he's the main character and I should understand his actions and feelings well. |

So far Kirito just loves to be overprotective of people. And since Asuna is pretty much the definition of a dependent gf, it's probably just natural for him (like how he was with Sachi). or he just likes suicidal girls Guess that's just how he rolls, like said before there's no real depth to it. |

My point is that i think it portrays it fine. Kirito loves her because she actually protected him and he just fucking loves her cooking. Its not even rushed...their love i mean It's funny because I thought I understood why Asuna loved Kirito so much, I mean he's always saving her and being nice to her, so I kinda accepted that as the reason why she loves him. And what time are you talking about? oh, you mean when he later had to kill someone to save her? not much of a reason if you ask me. And I love a lot of people's cooking doesn't mean i'm going to ask them to marry them. Sorry dude but not even close, the real reason has a lot more depth but if you want i guess i can summarize it quickly Asunas weakness in SAO was that she denied that it was real she believed it was some sick dream and her reality was back in the real world, Kirito showed her that what she feels in SAO is still real and she can still live life as if she was alive, like remember when he was taking a nap and she looked like he was weirdo for doing such a thing, it was also mentioned this very episode, how her feelings for him are real, regardless if its SAO or not Sounds like a good reason to love someone. But as I said before, I have no problems understanding her love. It's Kirito's love the one I don't understand and feels empty to me, which leaves me unsatisfied because he's the main character and I should understand his actions and feelings well. Well as for Kiritos feelings they actually showed more if it in the anime than Asuna (that fishing scene wasn't shown after all) but i guess i can summarize Kiritos as well Kiritos weakness in SAO was the burden that people may die before his eyes, he was afraid to get close to anyone because of this, this was shown in the very first episode with Klein and with the Black Cats, its his main reason for being a solo, Asuna however became a strong link who he felt he could depend on, its like he said last episode, he was reaching his limit at being a solo, Asuna was the pillar of strength that he felt that he could finally rely on, like she said "i wont die on you" Kirito was always alone, in that sense he was like Lizbeth, Asuna made his loneliness go away, after all its common for couples to support each other and depend on each other, its not that difficult of a concept, there is obviously more to it, but i think you get the idea right? |

The problem with the anime adaptation is that there are too many things from the LN that are never conceptualized due to the nature of how it's been told(1st person POV). This really isn't the series fault as I don't think it could be expressed as well as they did in the LN(unless they had Kito actually express his thought via bubble). This is one of the flaws which I can see in the anime and one of the reasons why I ended up having to read the LN. They also left a lot of Auna's side story in episode 2 which made her a bland and unlovable character. |

Having never read the LN, I really liked this episode^^ As for the disappearance of the side female characters, I really don't mind. I like just watching Asuna and Kirito. I never really liked the side female characters anyways. Probably just me though. Anyways, loved this episode; can't wait for next one! <3 And I hear that there will be a second season! HURRAY for that! <3 ^^ Asuna x Kirito always<3 |

And since Asuna is pretty much the definition of a dependent gf, it's probably just natural for him (like how he was with Sachi). or he just likes suicidal girls Guess that's just how he rolls, like said before there's no real depth to it. The thing is... he likes her because she's strong person, someone he can depend on and someone who he could entrust his back to. |

She has strong character stats, and is skilled at the game, but as a person she's quite weak hearted (not too different from sachi the previous girl he had a thing for). she's pretty much completely dependent on Kirito's existence and is willing to commit suicide if he dies. She's extremely weak hearted |

Very true she isn't strong, Mothers Rosario showed that very clearly (the 7th novel) but that said the same to a lesser extent could be said of Kirito considering how broken he is in many aspects and how his trauma affects him (shown in the GGO arc). it would be bring up the whole question what is true strength and stuff like that. |

Sigh i guess its to be expected since the anime didn't clarify it all that well, but he never had a thing for Sachi the LN described it like this "two cats licking the others wounds" or something like that, they were friends but never more than that. Even Kirito in the novel said it was clear that there was no romantic relationship between them. |
