| Really good episode in my opinion. Although i'm ready to move on in the plot now. I now ship Kirito and Asuna. |
SwordWielder said: 9:20 "I'm willing to bet my virginity that it was Grimlock." really fansubbers? did he really say that? LOL ikr! |
 |
| YAY, More Asuna! The mystery is finally solved! |
 "I like to expose what people hide. I'm an intellectual rapist." - Furudo Erika |
| Really nice small story that had a great ending, really nice one actually especially the sight of the ghost or whatever it was of the person that died, a bit less on action but this slower part and more mysterious case solving I like as well! Lets see what's next! |
 |
| EPIC episode is EPIC!!! Most FAVORITE ep so far! Very EXCITING! Great Detective skills Kirito, this ep really the MINDFCKKK!!! How Asuna said to Grimlock that it wasn't love he had, but was possession damn epic too! haven't had that much fun in awhile since Detective Conan lol 10/5 ep |

| Not really a bad episode, but also nothing particularly noteworthy. Well, I did like the scene with the ghost at the end. What can I say, I'm a sentimental person. I do kind of like how Kirito shows some nervousness around Asuna a times, I guess it shows his otaku side. Then again, he hasn't been all that awkward with any of the other female characters so it may just be Asuna that makes him flustered. But, as far as the mystery, yeah, it didn't do much for me. The criminals reasoning was fairly interesting just not all that well explored. Though in an odd way it does make sense. |

| Pretty good episode. I liked it. Hope those 2 become more than friends. |
| this show is so terrible |
| Lemme guess, we won't get any explanation to the ghost of the guild leader (at the ending), right? Oh well... Also, I'm actually not sure, but was I supposed to feel bad for the guy/sympathize with him? Beacuse I sure did not :/ |
 |
| Case closed. |
  |
| Romantic and plastic. I laughed so hard. Kirito betting on his virginity made me go like "what...?" Asuna and Kirito are kinda cute together~ |
| The marriage talk was kinda cute... I love the logic behind the inner area deaths. That was really good. But the shallowness of the reason why the murder happened was kind of a downer. A good episode! 4/5 |
 |
| I'd bet my virginity on the fact that ill end up giving this series a 10. i have a feeling that asuna and kirito will get married in the game by the end, and when they beat the final boss they will meet in real life. not a spoiler, but a prediction here. |
   |
| This episode was mediocre compared to the rest of the series. Wasn't overly satisfied. |
| The whole thing about the guy killing his wife was so stupid, but a pretty enjoyable show so far. |
 |
| I thought it was an awesome episode! I love this show <3 |
 |
| Meh. 3/5. But I liked that something happened between the two. |
 |
| Weakest episode so far imo. Kirito should never have been able to understand what happened so quickly and Grimlock killing his real life wife because she'd changed? That seems a bit far-fetched. Nice to see Kirito and Asuna making "friends" though. |
| Kind of a meh episode. It felt like a filler. :/ Hope the next one will be interesting. |

 |
| Well that was confusing. If they really wanted that shared item conversation in there they could have found a better order. It made it seem like they jumped from the restaurant back to the woods. |
| I like Hentai, you like real life. Instead of complaining about my tastes, be grateful you now don't have to compete against me. |
| Kirito is a bit of a stooge he needs to grow up and quit the "but I'm a solo player" excuses. Otherwise I thought the arc ended decent enough. |
| Such junk... |
| Awwhhhh, what Kirito said about finidng a new side to his lover and loving them even more :') too kawaii <3 Now THAT'S a man you'd want to marry. One that thinks that way ;) |
| Good episode, didn't expect that. Asuna is growing on me but I don't think I'll ever ship KiritoxAsuna, I prefer him with Klein. D: But srsly, they should just start the main storyline. |
| Well done episode this one. It's the first one since the first one that doesn't feel rushed. Kirito should drop the lone sword act and just a "free associate" of a guild or something. |

| What?!? She wasn't in his friend list within all that time? Goddammit Kirito, I know that you're a solo player but still... xD Asuna being an usual tsundere obscessed with wedding :P Those ''murders'' were more complex than I would have thought. Kirito have some clever detective sense. I just imaginated the trio bringing that Brimlock to a dungeon and torturing them. Would have been a sick twist :P |

Nice to see Kirito and Asuna making "friends" though. Also so this is where Asuna got the Sandwich-kun nickname from. |
| I found this one not so amusing, too. Still, I like the anime and hope for it to surprise me big-time and the 2nd season to be a good sequel... |

| Case closed |
| Boring, dull, and bad. |
| The mystery solving in this episode oddly recollects some of the episodes of Hyouka. The story scenario seems impractical, but the writing is pretty good, with enough mystery to hold one's interest. |
| WEAK episode. |
  |
| I here by dub him Detective Kirito or Meitantei Kirito in Japanese. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| So wait the girl is alive or are they just hallucinating? I'm watching the time go by and they've been in there for over a year, just how the hell are they surviving in the real world? |
 |
| The OST is just what it's supposed to be! Who knew Asuna's cooking could lead to the solution of these murder cases? Laughing Coffin is a very nasty guild that's also very interesting. When Asuna started hinting about storage sharing and marriage, I saw some sparks fly. And they grew brighter when she wanted to be friends with Kirito. Speaking of Kirito, he has a nice choice of words. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| Dat Plastic hahah :) |
eits said: Episode was OK, got a bit confusing for me somewhere in the middle but once I figured out the mystery it wasn't too bad I guess. Just seemed like they could have fleshed out this weeks side characters back stories a little better. 7/10 ! These two murder mystery episodes were the weakest in the Aincrad arc, imho. It was all uphill from here for me. |
| Okay Kirito, NOW she thinks you're hitting on her. |
 |
| Wow, Asuna was practically saying "Kirito, marry me" the entire episode. SAO2 |
  |
| I thought this was a really good episode. The whole mystery being resolved was interesting, got some feels at the end with the ghost, and dat developing relationship between Kirito and Asuna! |
| Don't know what to think about Asuna, she can be really kind and cute but sometimes she's just... cold. Kirito isn't as cool as I thought, he loses his composure pretty easy when Asuna interacts with him. This episode was good, but I really would like more action. |
| Well at least the conflict from the previous episode has been resolved. Though we do get to see Kirito and Asuna start to grow feelings for each other. |
| Dayum. Good episode. |
