Seriously what sort of school allows sexual harassment? That should be strictly punished by the Taboo Index.

I was enjoying the lack of rapey dudes and molestation so far, but Reki Kawahara just couldn't help but fall back on his favorite trope in the whole wide world once again. These two assholes are the exact same character as rapey Death Gun asshole and rapey Oberon asshole, just split in two. Barf.

So Eugeo is the kinda guy that can't say no to a girl, huh? Hmm...

The 2 noble dudes just seem to be assholes for the sake of it, even the most evil people think they are doing the right thing based of some flawed logic. These two don't seem to be written with that in mind at all, so they both come off as pretty unconvincing characters.

On that note, were we introduced to this Franica before? I can't seem to recall.
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

I'm not quite sure why Eugeo reacted that way to the confession.


Because Eugeo doesn't want to scare Tiese. He knows she's worried about her future and afraid to get an abusive husband that's why he couldn't bring himself to tell her his true goals.


Even though it might give her hopes for nothing? I quite ship them together and I like Tiese more than Alice, but in SAO and mostly all animes, they end up with their first love interest so... I understand his reasons but it wasn't for the best. At least they could be different on some way because these love triangles hurt. xD

Damn, I forgot that we still had to deal with these assholes coming into this episode. Can't believe they don't have stricter regulations to what you can ask your page to do.

The whole tournament thing was explained a bit fast, but I hope we get to it soon so we can see those nobles' faces kicked in :P

Tiese was pretty bold there! And Eugeo didn't deny her at all either. I'm curious to where this'll lead.

Also, I didn't like it when Kirito said to save "Stay cool" for a real goodbye. Is that a flag?? I sure hope not... Why would you use that phrase as goodbye anyway lmao.

I'm glad that the series is developing Eugeo he kinda deserves it, and it also seems like the girl likes him too. Those two guys are really nasty piece of works, I wonder how will Kirito and Eugeo handle them especially Raios who is way more cunning than Humbert.

I'm really really enjoying this series.

Great episode,

The whole "stay cool" line is worrying. Almost certain we're gonna be hit with that in a big way soon. Hopefully not as these two have great chemistry and are enjoyable to watch!

Best ep along the second ep so far
Tiese best girl so far
Wish we will get some backstory for those 2 villains but tbh it isn't much needed since i think we got enough infos about them to make us have some ideas on why they act like that
Hope that the green mentor will do something in the future cause it would've been better to just cut him off from the anime version if it isn't the case
The anime feels pretty rushed tbh.it needed some eps to fill the space between the eps that we already got

Gotta say, they definitely did a great job with the characterization and overall presentation this time around. Might actually be my favourite episode in that regard.

Finally the focus shifts onto Eugeo which he really needed. Not only that in pretty much all dialogues he either takes an active part or takes control whereas Kirito usually only has a supportive role.

Boy oh boy does this adaptation give our Kohai a great treatment.


They are doing it great indeed, Tiese was the cutest thing ever at the end!
Really enjoying all the care they are puttting on Eugeo as a protagonist, damm feels....

Ah Eugeo IS a main character.

Can't say I care that much for Eugeo or other girls that much, so that was a bit boring. Although the confession scene was kinda sweet, not that I see any future for this pairing :x

-"Use [Stay Cool] when you're really saying goodbye." with a close-up of Kirito's face. WELL IF THAT AIN'T HINTIN' AT SOMETHING. Ominous, but a bit too blatant...

-The two nobles are very annoying.

-Bad character whp's also a disturbing pervert and it's up to Kirito and friend(s) to put a stop to him. NottoDisuShittoAgen.jpg We get it, he's bad. The author has some sort of fascination with this concept lol...

-Eugeo growing a backbone :D

-Didn't expect such an escalation with Tiese, but Eugeo is doing all of this for Alice... He did give her a nonanswer in the same manner that Kirito had gave him at least...

But wouldn't their safety protocol actually stop them before they can break the taboo (like with Eugeo in his eye when Alice was taken away)?

Have to say that this time Kirito's speech was great. He made a great point by saying that there are things you should do even when prohibited by the law. Seems like all he is doing is planting the seeds of rebellion - but he should also know that this is double-edged weapon that may turn everyone into priviledged one that corrects all wrong-doings of the world.. only from their own perspective.

For a moment I was expecting a Subaru / Rem moment. But this is SAO, not Re:Zero. I'm just surprised that it's not Kirito again who gets the attention.

Was Tiese always such a cutie pie? I somehow forgot.

Kirito with his stay cool attitude once again feels like later on in Aincrad, once he has a decent base he will get layed back even with a clear goal in mind. Thats consistent, I like it.

How do you make antagonists unlikable? Cocky and disrespecting? Sure. But what about rapey? Thats what I appreciated about Aincrad, Kayaba was an antagonist of some sort but there was no dumb rapey villain.

That is a weird favor to ask, girl.
Man, I love how wholesome the relationship between Eugeo and Kirito is, definitely one of my favorite friendships in Anime, but I can't help but feel like it would drain down soon. Also, the page's confession, I was hoping nothing fo that sort will happen. I'm glad at least Ronie looks like Sugo, probably a set-stone sign that she'll never have he way with Kirito.

A couple things to note about this episode:
1) The focus shifts to Eugeo which was pretty cool to see
2) Eugeo fights Humbert and Humbert uses some type of dark sword skill. Maybe those two douchebags are from the dark territory or learning dark sacred art skills?
3) The whole "stay cool thing" Kirito told Eugeo seems like foreshadowing since Kirito said only to use it for real goodbyes. I feel like it will come up again later in the anime.
4) SAO and creepy villans who like to rape people... Seems like a repeating trend at this point...

Wait wait wait, what do you mean by that Eugeo, I thought Alice means everything to you.

On another note, I was hoping these cliche kids weren't a thing. It's too annoying and boring every time they do something.

I want Liese to serve me the same way Frenica serves Humbert. I'll order her to do all kinds of ecchi stuff with me!
I think Alice is a waifu for Kirito, right? I guess Liese has a chance with Eugeo. Her confession scene was nice.
