Battlechili1 said: SAO II was so far is pretty good. Most of the episode was talking between Kirito and Kikuoka Seijirou, but I liked it. It could've used maybe a little more excitement, but their conversation gave me strong .hack// vibes. It feels more like a mystery, and I think they're focusing more on the writing this time around. Maybe they learned from the mistakes of last season and are being more careful. Whatever the case, I liked it. Could've done without the ass shot at the end, but at least the ED was nice. Anyone else getting .hack// vibes from it? slovak125 said: Again, deaths caused by VR...? Author should have tried to think up something new rather than recycling everything and wrapping it up with different setting. Same ideas over and over again. Can't even imagine what terror another arcs must be, but I guess nothing can satisfy human greed for money... But how are they being killed? That's the thing. We knew right from the start in SAO's first arc that it was a shock to the brain. Now we don't know what's going on. The idea of deaths caused by VR game remains. Everything else is just topping. I thought that author would give us some another plot twist, but I guess every arc is same. Some players die and Kirito shall save them all. With that all being said, I'm giving it two more episodes. |

| Oh yeah! Great start. And mind-blow begins! Waited so long for my favorite show's 2nd season... Great adaptation, good op (liza's still my favorite) great OST (once again Yuki shows us what great OST is), great artwork, and what is the most important - amazing adaptation! Jezz, I'm so hyped right now |

| I saw the first episode yesterday in a cinema theater and today I rewatched it. The relationship stuff with Asuna is annoying like always but the story seems to be interesting. And did the opening spoil who is Death Gun? o.O |

Feaor said: I'm actually kinda glad this episode was a bit slow because that means that the show will probably be less rushed, which was one of my main issues with the Aincrad arc. I'm actually optimistic about this season now, it might be actually decent,. Exactly my thoughts. They had alot of exposure to do, and they actually took the time to do it right. Good start so far. |

I guess you can fill it for me |

| So now you went back to nursery school level. |
| It looks more promising than season 1; probably won't be anything amazing.I felt like the recap wasn't needed and became boring. I don't know if they planned for the Kirito x Asuna scenes to be romantic or cute but they were pretty cringey. I might be being really picky because I hated the first season after expecting something good but "Death Gun" isn't as fearsome of a name as they tried to make it out to be, quite a shit name to be honest. I liked the OST, suits the SAO vibe but I definitely prefer the OST for the first season. I think Sinon will become a good character but I don't want to be let down if she isn't. I haven't read the LN so I might be wrong but I definitely think Death Gun will be a player from SAO or ALO but I could be wrong and the show may not be predictable. Overall, mixed feelings. |

| Finally! Missed this so much,i feel happy to see Kirito & Asuna again together <3 Wow what a big mistery is behind that "Death Gun",very curious do discover how he kills people,probably because there is some unexplainable connecting that they still can't see. Shinon is a badass girl with a sniper rifle :D |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Lol at people forcing themselves to hate on this already. Anyway, fantastic start to the series. A little slower paced, but it was getting everyone back up to speed on the current events. Was nice to see Asuna and Kirito living a normal life there for a bit. The wait between episodes is going to be so brutal. |

Zer01 said: to many flaws and it was really boring for me honestly the reason why i won't drop the anime is because it's hilarious to laugh at it's flaws together with friends I know I will regret this, but those flaws are? |
| The hate threads and responses are more entertaining than the anime at the moment :D Why do people watch it if they already know they won't like it? It's like those chick's who talk crap about their friends behind their backs lol. Ha, they know they like it but want to act like the cool kids.."I'm watching it to make fun of it with my imaginary friends derp" |
 |
| Dang man probably one of the worst first episodes I've seen. Asuna is delusional as fuck and this holy thing about some guy killing players seems pretty retarded. 1/5 hopefully it gets better. |
KeiranShikari said: wow, Sinnon's ass saving anime. |
 |
| I really enjoyed this first episode and am now extremely curious about the next episode! At first I had doubts, now I think it has potential to be a very good sequel! |

If you dont like getting responses like that then get more informed or at least learn to tell the difference between 2 stories. Then please enlighten me and tell me those "differences", 'cause I just see the same premise, which is supposed to hook viewers in. And for the 3rd time it doesn't really work on me. And I'm not forcing myself to hate on this, if that was hint for me. I rated the first season with 9 and like I said, I love it. But I'm dissapointed with how author is handling next arcs. And as always die hard fans are already sulking and defending it like their life was on the line. |

The differences will be shown later as well.Instead talking crap for the sake of saying them, either watch and figure it out or drop it. I dont care if it works for you or not, when what you see isnt even there. By what you say, you dont seem to know about the later arcs so keep your bs down.

| Had me silently fanboying at the edge of my seat! Neat and decent episode with a decent story. Can't wait for the next episode! Excited to watch it. I anticipated a great show, I was not disappointed |

| Really slow first episode but Gun Gale Online looks like a pretty cool game. Reminds me of Gunz The Duel good times. Also I have high hopes for Shino being an awesome character. So judging by the ending Kirito becomes a female Jedi? |

| Phew! At first I was worried that it was gonna take itself seriously,but then I saw that ED(or OP?) where Kirito was wielding a FREAKING LIGHTSABER in a gun game. Oh man,this is gonna be fun. |

I don't care what he was trying to convey, i'm considering quoting whole conversation pretty common than just cutting out convient parts. |
