| ok, I take my words back from last week.. they are not friendly after all. Way to let your guard down guys! Those action scenes were bloody amazing, Fanatio is a tough one! Urghh that cliffhanger though! |
 |
| Finally a very solid episode. |
| I felt it was a bit too "in your face", and a few jumps and skips felt noticeably stiff, as if they had been animated on twos instead of being sakuga, despite being key action scenes. |
| Yet these hands will never hold anything. Thus I pray, Unlimited Waifu Works!  |
| good episode guess once i realized from people mentioning hes been poisoned a million times he'd be careful around people so i guess it made sense even all of us knew not to trust dem damn kids the moment they showed up so in reality it was kinda fucked up he made Eugeo take the blunt of it so he could counter it lol good fight but i want more teamwork like the end less of Kirito taking all the darn spotlight |
 |
| I hoped the lolis would be allies, but they turned out to be villains. I guess I should have expected that tbh. I liked the action in this episode, and the cliffhanger makes me excited for the next episode. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| i've said it 100x and ill say it again |
 |
| So far this season I've seen how great of a character Kirito is, not that i hated him before but because I didnt pay attention to him. His skills are awesome and his design is very good too, black suits him. I guess he does deserves Asuna and hope they reunite sooner in the series and give us a baby. Overall I loved this episode, his perceptiveness over those kids impressed me good and that fight with that lady knight was also great. That advice he gave to Eugeo in fighting the knights was informative and wise. If I had known he was this great earlier, he would've been on my favorite character list but it's too late now. |

| Kek, people arguing about feminism. This shit is old and not really rare even back then. Anyway, I can't wait to see Alice next episode. |
| Great episode, and that fight vs fanatio was the best so far. Thank god we finally got "real fight" like episode 4 was. Cant wait for the next episode, the heroine will be back! i hope for better animation and choreography in the upcoming fights |
 |
| this is one of the best episode of alicization and that fight between kirito and fanatio was so well animated, good job A-1 the girls were obviously bad, you could tell they were up to no good from the beginning but this at least proves Kirito isn't dumb Overall this was A REALLY GOOD EPISODE! |
| Seeing the backstory of Linel and Fizel animated was creepier than reading it in the novel. They could have gone all out if it had R17+ rating instead of PG13+. I wonder whether they are going to change it into R17+ in the second half. Otherwise they will have to censor everything. Great sakuga this episode. They still didn't include the relationship between the blue rose and the block of ice though. 5/5 score. |
japcrap_ said: Writer_Man said: Try the 1920s in America - or at least when really became more of a movement. There's a reason Flappers became a thing. While I do agree that feminism has been a movement for a long time, the Second and Third-Wave feminist movements are what I’m referring to. The GenXers were raised in the trail end of the Second-Wave feminist movement of the 60s, and decided to bring about Third-Wave feminism from the 90s up to the relatively recent Fourth-Wave feminist movement. The goal of the original feminists was the right to vote, but from then on the goal has been subjective. LUL are u drunk sir? feminism ? in Japan? in 2005? Sao is anything but a feminist show! with lots of rape scene! and a harem for MC , u can find lots of anti Sao article on leftist and feminist websites!, for that woman female knight part its just a bad writing! Edit:no one gives a shit about Sjws in japan,author in japan are totally free to write whatever they want, for example look at this seasons shows like tate no yuusha etc.. |

| That fight was so amazing |
| BRAWLERS |
| This season is on fire seriously! I mean I never thought that something may surpass Aincrad or Mother's Rosario arcs for SAO .... but this is way too evolving especially with this episode along with the one before. OST is perfection as always. |
 |
| Wow, this anime is the most gorgeous anime ever made up to this point. Everything is absolutely spot on. The action is flawlessly clean and easy to follow. Every character looks absolutely perfect. Very excited for this anime, it's technology is so ahead of its time and it really shows what the future holds. 10/10 for sure, not many anime like this come along. |

Pedram said: Yes ? did u see anywhere any feminism back then talking big or making news ? did u see any media or anything try to please feminism back then ? No. these are all quite new in the recent years. this part of alicization was made around 2006 and back then there was no such a talk. moreover, the girl here have her own reason for her attitude which was stated in the novel and hopefully will be explained in the next EP. Jesus, what a time to be young. Thinking that feminism got its start so late lol You're actually thinking of third wave feminism specifically. Feminism has been around since the 19th century lol You're a bit late to the party bro. |
|
| I’m relieved that Kirito actually managed to see through the little girls deception. A very solid fight so far. |
 |
| That's what happens when you let your guard down in the enemy territory Eugeo. Well at least Kirito kept his guard on. He could easily take down those two children. So Fanatio was a woman. It was obvious from her voice though. Anyway that was some incredible swordfighting. I wonder what Kirito's enhance armament can do. |
 |
| Finally, shikai and bankai fight in full glory. Good episode and even annoyingly good cliffhanger. |
| It was so obvious those kids were a trap, meh. But that fight... good stuff. I love action scenes in Alicization. I just wish episodes didn't cut fights. |
| Quality dipping begins, oh boy...solid fight even with the frame rate issues going on there. That cliffhanger transition was grade A trolling |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| The knights are not getting much more interesting...this is getting redundant. Each battle is the same with all these lesser knights, no matter how they try to make each knight different. It's all the same fight being an unusual hard challenge (even the lowest are boss, what? the knights will lose anyways) before they finally move on to the next one. Just send out the strongest boss fight like in Season 1 and make it the toughest most epic fight ever. The action was subpar, Swordland ends too quickly. For a 2 on 1, Eugeo stands in the back corner, and it is almost comical because Kirito can no longer finish the fight with a worn out enemy and has to swap out for Eugeo shouting out nakama power X_X Just how epic they would be if they actually did a 2 on 1 and overpowered the enemy with their swords together. It could even present a 2 on 5 deserving win situation which this episode did not make use of instead of this repetition what they are doing now. I most want to see new relationships as they journey through like Tiese/Ronie, their mentor. It probably would be good if Alicization picked up the pace before I stop caring about their journey entirely lol |

| well nice to see kids smug like that/... also the end though |
 |
| I was a bit wary of seeing the two loli girls after last week's episode and I was right to be wary, as Eugeo learned the hard way by getting stabbed with paralysis poison. Thanks to past experience, Kirito was already prepared for the two girls' plan. The only thing the girls did right was take Kirito and Eugeo to the 50th floor, but they certainly acted too smug and irritating for their own good, so seeing Kirito take then down with their own swords was VERY satisfying. =) Kirito Vs Fanatio was intense and very even between the two. Apart from one or two frames, the animation for the fight was very impressive. It doesn't beat the Kirito Vs Goblin fight from episode, but it got close, so I'm happy with that. It's a shame that a few users here are a bit harsher on the animation than they should be and whinging about quality dips already for a 50 or so episodes we're having for this third season. Typical... =/ Other than that, the episode ended on an irritatingly good cliffhanger as Kirito calls out his enhance armament, so we'll have to wait another week just to see how the conclusion of the fight will go, even though the answer to that is obvious. =P |
| So Linel and Fizel, were not whom they are rather much more sinister. too bad they got the taste of their own poison. Man kirito should have just let that Fanatio die. |
| Damm, they finally did Integrity Knights justice with this fight, I felt that previous fights lacked impact and tension vs the LN, but this was just amazingly done. Best episode on par with ep10, really felt both Eugeo and Kirito struggle here. |
 |
| I think they were reusing some of the fight animations from the first boss battle of Aincrad episode |
 |
| Why do people have to attack any fictional work that has something ''controversial''? You want some save place where nothing bad happens? Then anime ain't for you. They are fictional works so they can do whatever the authors want. If it moves the plot forward or is a character trade, it's perfectly fine. Save places only exist in your dreams and even there they aren't that secure. About this episode. By far the best episode of SAO in general. Really liked it. That cliffhanger was very mean though. Some backstory on that knight would be nice. |
| Ok SOA I see you raising the bar <3. Man the fight this week and the music paired with the fight was pretty epic. Hopefully we ride the high point into the weeks to come and not fizzle out. |

As for the ED, the only difference is that this week's ED looks more prettier compared to last week's ED. Though not an LN reader, I do think the relation between Fanatio and the First Hero was overshadowed quite a lot. Her character was taken too light off. And never trust a deranged Loli. You never know what's in those lil cuties. Like how? ED sure is lavish afterall ReoNa is doin it. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |

If you watch the OP you'll see that Bercouli appeared and fight with Eugeo + the scene when Quinella rises from the blood is a little different from the last episode.. As for the ED I didn't watched closely Hmm yeah that's some changes. Quite the keen eye you got there. |
