It's kind of a shame that Liz's sword didn't end up stronger than Kirito's original sword. It's slightly worse, lower in damage scale and all around stats.


Put up a spoiler tag, please.



This is an episode discussion. It's quite obvious that when he asked for a second sword that is as good or better, he was going to dual wield. It's not hidden at all. Spoilers should not be needed for an episode discussion about events that happened in the episode.


Again, this is a minor flaw of the adaptation... you were right that it's obvious he's going to dual wield...but it should not be possible to use two swords with the system assist in SAO...

I think the time lapse is too fast between episodes. There shoulda been double the episodes. Give it time to unfold.

Sorry, the first post is a joke, lol it make me logged in and post this comment even though I rarely do this.

Seriously, who going to say this episode is quite good surely not read the light novel yet, the episode is so rushed, if only watch the anime you missed almost 90% of what going though Liz head, what she's thinking, her emotion development is is the most important since this episode is for Liz herself, not for Kirito, the anime drop all it and leave it as a souless-episode, I watched it only for some good CG and it only about it, nothing more, I grade this episode a bad scores =.=

This is an example how her feeling develop to Kirito, it's a lot more then this if you read the novel, in the anime it about 15 sec senseless talking.



Again, for who loving SAO and only watch this rushed anime, I strongly recommend you find the Light novel to read, you won't regret it, I burn all of it in 4 days, surely cant stop after you begin >.<, btw this episode is light novel Sword Art Online:Volume 2 Chapter 2 "Warmth of the Heart"

i understand where you are coming from, but as a SAO novice, I'm happy that that i havent spoiled myself with the LNs. i find this anime to be entertaining as a standalone piece. What makes me even happier is knowing that when this series ends, there's the promise of the greater depth of the light novels to delve into........so in my judgement, i would rather save the LN's rather than read it, then rage about how the anime is inferior to it

A fairly good episode; I half expected Lis to die from the dragon but thankfully she survived.

Clearly reading the LN will give a far greater insight into the characters but as for the anime, it keeps it simple enough to not have piles of unanswered questions.

The stats of the second sword fall mostly short in comparison to his original sword.. the second sword wins by +4 strength and in exchange from Armor to running..

Daaaangg I wish to know the value of strength and that bonus effect of SOA

Hey hey hey isn't that a spoiler?
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

Another great episode, although the action with the dragon was rather lame, if you were to even call it action. However, the whole episode was enjoyable, although it feels as fast-paced as always, and a lot happened between the introduction of Lizbeth (Lisbeth?) and her recovering from the realization (romance-wise). Still, it's really great, 5/5.

Don't worry about the spoil, the anime just make use of the side story of the light novel,just read the novel according to the number of the episodes that the anime aired, read the chapter of the LN that got animated will make you will more satisfied :). You stil have whole lot to read even after the anime end. But think about it again, may be the anime spoil the novel not the novel spoil the anime, and spoil in a lame way to speak =/.

Ok episode, the fight was great and the animation was awesome. But why a CG dragon? It looks so 'regular' and cheap even if it isn't.
The story... oh my god. You can fall in love with someone within 1 day? The story is going nuts.
At least Kirito got a new sword instead of helping some random character we'll probably never see again.

Look at those ratings.~

What can I say? It was a lovely adaption of the side-story. Of course some scenes had to be cut but the main ones were there, beautifully animated. My love for the novels and anime is growing with every passing page/episode. <3

Ugh... my most hated character in SAO Lizbitch... I have to endure this overdrama girl episode before the main story... I hate reading this SS in the novel... made me feel like puking everytime I read Lizbitch's monologue near the end of the novel... I mean, trying to make a big deal about some small matter? Really? She need to learn what suspension bridge effect is.

Well whatever, next is supposed to be the main story right? At least after waiting for so long...

yeah, this side story got a great treatment from the animators, though i can pretty much say that this chapter was more touching at the end in the l/n version (especially at the end, which was different), at least it did the character of Lisbeth justice

Now, looking forward to

I don't even know what's serious or just trolling when I read the SAO Episode threads.

But otherwise the stuff left out HAD to be left out to let the A-O viewers have that feeling of surprise LN readers also got.

I would loled if she turned out to be Yuno but Liz did look like her in the sleeping part.

I really enjoyed this episode. Especially this whole romantic triangle between Kirito, Asuna and Liz. I wonder who he will choose at the end.
I hope the main story starts to pick up again.

It's quite fair for me. I don't understand why they should spend more than one episode to a side story? It would be better that they would return immediately to the main story right? So what do you guys have to complain so much?!

I'm not going back to check the episode but she said 'suk'i if i recall, not 'daisuki'. It should have been "I like you."

No, actually she falls for him because he patted her head, just like how Silica falls for him because he smiled at her.
It's Kirito's passive skill that makes every trivial moves put a love flag.

Not only that, but wasn't she the one who caused them to fall into that pit? Some of the characters in SAO are so stupid. He told her to stay hidden, but do they ever listen? And then bitching at him while at the bottom of the pit, as if he was the one that got them there.
