| Honestly.. all I want is dual sword kirito. In any case, it was a good episode... but why did they decide to do a reset with them falling out of the tower; and its not helping that the next episode is "Truce", what? They're going to put aside their differences... why would they? |
 |
| a bit disappointing episode especially the fight scene and the animation. tbh i didnt get the hype in this episode, it was executed badly still hoping there will be a lot of better fights and high tier animation just like first episode |
 |
| I feel bad for the elevator girl... I definitely didn’t see that cliffhanger coming at all. |
 |
| I wonder what Fanatio said before being blasted into the ceiling. I HATE THAT IN ANIME! Im surprised how much I am enjoying this arc. Probably because there's no Asuna and a lot better action. |

They're going to put aside their differences... why would they? maybe coz they are hanging like us on a Cliffhanger lol I mean if they both are hanging from the wall it make sense if they stop fighting until they can get down or back up before continuing lol if they were to fight in midair then they pretty much both die. i wonder if the dragon can come to them. The dragons are on the lower part of the tower, so they can only climb. The other reason is |
| I'm afraid that in the next episode we'll go back to Asuna xD |

| Alice is OP, great episode. I love Alice ability of the sword its like thousand blades, its cool. Dat cliffhanger, next is Eugeo being alone. |
 |
| Eugeo's Perfect Weapon Control Art is freezing the entire room? Well he did say it was more of a support ability, but honestly using that is pretty much instant win if the opponent does not have a resistance to it. Kirito just said that they were fugitives, and Eugeo just said they were going to kill the administrator...I mean she's just an elevator attendant, but shouldn't they be a little more discreet? And the side wall breaks, leaving Eugeo all alone in the cathedral. He's probably going to be captured and sent back to prison or something... Truce! Does that mean we're going to get some Kirito x Alice time? And if we get some Kirito x Alice time, that means that there's a chance that they get to cuck Eugeo! Yay! |
 |
| Can they system call summon aerial element themselves? Caught up in the show like right now, and I feel like the secondary characters disappear just like that... no enjoyment from my part due to that. I feel like there's so much talent wasted that only lasts one episode or two. Great fights, animation is good... but it's going too fast. At least let me enjoy these side characters, dammit. Waiting for the next ep |

| Damn, Kirito's ability is OP xD But Alice's sword, damn! I don't think that none of them would be able to defeat her 1vs1, at least not in the current state. I wonder if the other Knight that he saved will help them in the future, she probably will because that girl will clean her mind, i hope xD A wall that restores automatically? damn xD |

| Overly Virtuous Kirito rares it's head again. SMH. Using the dagger, and even shouting for help. Wtf. Alice looking fine af tho, with the golden armor and the senbonzakura. lololololol. So if they could easy beat number 2 but still "lost" to alice who is synthesis 30 iirc, does that mean their numbers aren't ranked by power, just the recency they became part of the integrity knights? |
| Alice was so damn cute even with that cold attitude. why must it always end on a cliff hanger. |

 This episode was pretty good , During reading the light novel I was feeling alot of familiar things to Byakuya from bleach but after that I can see it's way too similar. The personality , that how proud Alice is with her own "honour" which you can feel around her and of course her shik... enchamence armament looks like senbonzakura.  But the main thing which get me in that episode is music. The soundtrack just right before the fight agains Alice , when kirito was speakin with eugeo is the soundtrack from 1st season I guess ( the 75th level boss ? If I remember well ) but when Alice hits for the first time with her senbon... her enchamence that new soundtrack just come in and smash my ears it's so good. ( It reminds me the style of Dark Souls soundtracks tbh. ) I can't wait for appearance of "Silent Knight"(Knights synthesis twelve - without saying any spoilers) or how it was that nickname , but it will be in the "better" half of alicization which will come ... I guess in 5 +/- episodes. |
| Kirito's enhance armament overpowered Fanatio. Kirito kind enough to use that dagger on her. I didn't think they'd face Alice so soon. Alice sure is a formidable one. I wonder what happened to Kirito and Alice after that explosion. |

SNDT said: HaruTiiiT said: exposition? did we watch the same episode? Alice's sword backstory? Just like it was with Fanatio's sword in the previous episode. Man, I hope this show tells us about every knight's sword out there by the end of the arc. Seriously, you gonna complain about the origin of the sword that doesn't take even a minute? It's necessary to know what the sword is made of to understand their power otherwise people will complain how they are pulling shit out of their ass. It's SWORD Art Online, of course the sword is important. |

What exactly is wrong with the way it is explained? Do you think you can do better? Please elaborate or are you just here to complained about things that doesn't matter? |

| Very intense! I wonder who threw them out. Can't wait for next episode! |
ErnaGhoul said: Very intense! I wonder who threw them out. Can't wait for next episode! Kirito and Alice did that themselves, the force of their attack clashing was so intense it destroyed the wall and the air sucked them out. |

| After such a good episode last week, this was utterly abysmal in every way. The end to the fight with Fanatio was so anticlimactic that it wasn't worth wasting a cliffhanger on, and then Kirito turned completely stupid and panicked over her, wasting the crucial dagger on her for no reason whatsoever. Then the fight with Alice was really silly, with stupidly over-the-top music and the stupid slow-motion effect that only made it look even more dumb. Oh, and the scene with the Operator was completely pointless. I don't give a shit about a random pointless character like that and neither should the show, but she was obviously just added in to waste yet more time on pointless exposition and backstory. |
| AHAHAHA they both are Pepega xD |

| Kirito's enhance armament that he used to take down Fanatio was visually impressive. His attack was even powerful enough to blast her straight into the ceiling before crashing down on the floor. Ouch... Now that Fanatio is under Cardinal's care and the two lads have healed up, they took the floating elevator, operated by the lady whose been doing this mundane job for 170 years, the poor girl. D= Eventually, they reach Alice and inevitably, they clash swords. Alice's perfect weapon control has that vibe of Saber's Excalibur and Bleach's Byakuya mixed into her visually beautiful, but powerful attacks as Kirito ends up on the back foot. The fight really does go down to the wire, especially with Eugeo using his enhance armament once again to trap Alice, but as she brakes herself free, Kirito uses his last enhance armament to put her off-balance. However, the wall next to them collapses and a powerful wind blows Alice and Kirito away before rebuilding itself, leaving poor Eugeo confused and shocked. All in all, this was another pretty good episode. The fights were visually impressive and the animation, despite a few off-scenes here and there, was still good overall. Admittedly, I wasn't expecting the sudden interrupting outcome for the fight against Alice. Good stuff, though. =D |
| Loved the episode, Alice finally makes her real debut as Knight, that said I was expecting the fight to have a bit more of Sakuga, her attacks are heavy but it lacked impact, and I think she is stronger than Fanatio too, so they could have even her combat style at least a bit more of pressure. And so the wall blowned, things should get interesting next episode! Tokoya said: Playcool said: Bleach is pretty old too my guy xDAre you sure?

| Looks like I’m in the minority here but these last 7-8 episodes or so, ever since the two were inprisoned, have been really underwhelming for me. Don’t get me wrong, I thought the initial premise of this Aliciazation arc was really cool but now it just feels so easy-going for the two lads. Despite the info dump which is frankly quite good in managing to set up the crude world, Kirito and Eugeo’s overpower-ness just seems to make a ridicule of it all and itself. How strong exactly are Kirito and Eugeo anyway and how is Kirito already (almost) Alice Level? Does it have anything to do with the Cardinal’s influence? Even then, I feel like the plot convenience factor is a little too much for my liking. Heck, they’re just about Graduates and yet can fend off these warriors who have spent probably twice-thrice the amount in battles than they have. Just to make things clear, it’s not like I’m bashing this show for everything. It’s just certain factors, like I briefly mentioned above, that have hindering my experience and that’s all. Coming back to the Episode nevertheless, Kirito managing to overpower Sir Fanato was pretty much foreshadowed from last episode’s Cliffhanger so no surprises there. What a frightful appearance that, though! Sir Fanatio then flying upwards rather than horizontally bashing into the walls was a little perplexing but nothing too much of a biggie. Kirito then going on to save the enemy there was commendable but I’m sure this reckless decision will sting soon right after. It’s a bit disheartening, I suppose, that we didn’t get to see the two young girls later on since Kirito promised to show them just how strong the Integrity Knights are and whatnot. Moving on, we got to meet the Operator and the whole scene featuring her along with the depressing vibe then was really well done imo. 107 years and counting sounds very dire, I hope she manages to fly across the sky like she wants to someday. Finally, Alice’s reappearance and their fated battle. Personally, I found the slow motion of the fight to be a little off but the soundtrack was on-point nevertheless. Alice is bad news for sure but somehow Kirito managed to fend her off and this, in turn, has led to an even bigger issue. What on Earth happened there at the end? Did the collision cause so much mayhem that the wall was obliterated and during the final scenes was the wall regenerating? I’m assuming Kirito and Alice flew off, too. Next week’s episode preview sounds like a joke but I’m curious to see what exactly it’ll refer to before coming to any inconclusive conclusion by myself. |
