Why is every single recurring female character has to become a love interest? If there is going to be some yaoi, it is not going to be surprising at all... |

Erg nooooo not another "sister is actually a cousin so it makes incest ok" storyline. Oh gawd. Bloody hell if you didnt know any better you would think most anime love stories were written by hill billies. Seriously what is with the cousin incest theme, it crops up all too often in anime that have love interests/themes. In general it was OK. Felt a bit filler to me. also i know now what people were talking about with Asuna being in another MMO, girl cant catch a break. Seems a bit blindingly obvious from the starting theme tune thingy that Kirito ends up getting jiggy/ close with another girl in that other MMO. I'm guessing ther will be some kind of reason she was moved to another MMO and not allowed to wake up like Kirito? |

The problem is that sugou is the person who bought back the SAO server and made another game based on it (ALO), he also transferred 300 players (including Asuna) to that game in order to experiment on human. You can call that a mind control experiment, well at least he wanted to control Asuna's mind and make her fall in love with him, and taking control of all ALO players. When Kirit found out, obviously he had to jump to ALO to save his lover ... Well unless he went for Sugu ... |

Is Sugu the girl he is flying with in the opening song/holding her hand? If so, and it turns into a proper thing/main part of the anime, this is going to go into my huge pile of anime "dropped because of incest plots" . *sigh* |

people complain way too much ago, first it was about a bad plot, and now incest, and a antagonist that makes people rage I mean ALO didn't even start yet. |

Firstly i have not complained about much in regards to this anime, feel free to troll through my old posts if you wish. I have never mentioned once about the plot. It moved like a freight train but i didnt think it was "bad". I in fact quite enjoy this anime. Pointing out one thing i don't like isn't exactly continually complaining is it? So please dont lump me into the same group as the trolls who sit there watching the series just to smack talk it on forums. Trolling and bitching about every part is something i have not done. I just don't see the need for so many anime's which have a love story flowing through them to introduce some form of incest/ romantic feelings between cousins. This isnt exclusive to SAO but a lot of animes and it really bugs me. Also re it being introduced, it was quite clear she said you should never give up on the person you love indicating, she infact would not give up on him, despite his lack of feelings for her. Also from what happens in the starting song/ intro it seems to indicate it does develop into something. And it also sets a tone which i do not like ( this is very much an IMO thing, but its a pet peeve that will never change for me). If you have read the LN and know otherwise that is a different case, but it does its best to hint that it will in fact be a big part of the story from now on, you having knowledge beyond the anime gives you the luxury of hindsight. I do not. |

Nitpickers. At least he/she has a certain problem with incest. Unlike others that call the toothbrush scene "HOT" and "EPIC" but complain about this small thing, he has any right to worry/complain. Those other "elitists" with double standards the size of Aincard should kindly shut the fuck up. |

I am not one of those people. There are legitimate complaints about this show, it isnt perfect. Its fun and i enjoy it but it does have its flaws. I also said its very much an IMO, it doesn't bother some people but it REALLY bothers me, i dont expect people to shame the same sentiments i do on this, and i know that. I have a very close nit family, and the idea of being romantically interested in my cousin is as repulsive as being romantically interested in a sibling. |

Except what you said was a bit off. I never said you couldn't complain, I just gave my opinion and said "Nitpickers." This isn't going into an incest plot, idk what you're talking about. You see one thing with his cousin and start ranting before something happens. Kirito doesn't LOVE her. As a relative yes, but gf? no. Worded it wrong so I had to redo it. In the world world she gradually gets closer to Kirito (Cousin), but she notices that he already has a girlfriend (Asuna) and that because they're family she decided tog I've up on him and fall in love with Kirito (In ALO), note she doesn't know that this is her brother until near the end. She realizes that in the end though. As for her still loving him after ALO, I'm not sure I've only read 4 Volumes. |

When she finds out Kirito is the same person in ALO that loves Asuna. you seem to totally ignore my reasoning as to why i thought it would migrate towards that. I clearly pointed out 2 very glaringly obvious reasons for why i thought this. you are another person who read the LN im guessing, so if you have hindsight then you really are not in a position to to say that, as you know what happens. From this episode it is quite misleading to say the least, especially if you you watch the opening. She clearly says to kirito that he should never give up on his love, indicating she wouldn't either. They hold hands in the opening and you see asuna's face drop immediately afterwards. |

Yes, from this episode it is quite misleading I'll give you that. Where was her face dropping? The time they held hands in the air was only part I could see in which Asuna was showed after and Asuna face wasn't dropping down, she was smiling. |

I have no idea how their director thinks. Asuna didnt even know that help was coming.She just hoped.She never met Lyfa or Sugu while she was trapped. Like I said before just look at how they did the battle in the OP.Most times the studio just amazes me.In a bad way. |

It's always has to be the guy in glasses.....ALWAYS...just the law of animes I guess lol Also despite the elf ears and what not this arc looks more interesting than the last and now that there's gonna be less of Asuna's baby love it should be interesting how things turn out. Still can't stand Kirito he's always seems like he would kill himself at anytime if something happened to Asuna. |

I don't think you should try to get anything out of the opening besides new character designs lol, its very easy to cut and paste certain clips together to make things look misleading |

I don't know why but deep inside me I wanted to lunge at the new guy' throat and hurl him at the window the first time he appeared, and then when he licked his lips after smelling Asuna's hair and began touching her, I wanted so much to rip him apart to his subatomic components from where he was standing. I don't even read the LN nor the manga but my gut feeling tells me he'll be worse than Kayaba. RAGE!!! >_< Screenshot? Wait, another MMORPG? She's trapped in another one? WTH!!! |
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |

The opening honestly throw me off with the style of the great tree but damn. I was so happy to only get a sense of kirito's cousin trying to bone him instead of the novels habit of stuffing in her constant incest thought. So far its following the novels perfectly my only concerns are the art style. |

+1 to the harem, though I would have preferred someone else than Taketatsu Ayana, her voice irritates me to no end. At least she isn't a tsundere, that's a good thing. If you watch it as a parody, it's quite entertaining really, the best way to enjoy it would be to have a few friends over and poke fun at the scenes. 3/5. |

first thing first, this might contain spoiler and someone might already posted this but im too lazy to read all 32 pages since the anime did not point it well : suguha's 1st flash back --> her bro suddenly avoided her suguha's 2nd flash back --> suguha finally wanted to shorten their distance, but it was all too late because kazuto got involved in SAO. cried because there's possibilty that he would die before their relationship could get fixed suguha's 3rd flash back --> suguha's happiest moment, her bro finally got back from SAO. she determined to fix their relationship, but her bro unexpectedly started to open himself more to her after SAO incident suguha's 4th flash back (the one before sleeping scene) does not need to be explained since it's alr obvious the ending song is awesome, the lyrics (from UTW fansubs translation) really describes how suguha feels because she always wanted to be like her avatar in ALO, flying high freely |

AGHHH! Sogou Nobuyuki! Fuckin pisses me off! Really hated him in the novels and hes just as revolting if not more in the anime. I was in synch with Kirito with the seething hated I felt. -.- -sigh- with that out of the way! Great intro ep for ALO!~ The beginning scene is powerful and fully conveys Kirito's fears right now and what hes going through, and for most of the arc-ish. The visuals were great in this ep with being able to show the terror hes feeling and also later when hes pissed, the camera shots movements and everything captured his emotions amazingly. It might just be cause I watch the last three eps in a row but I feel the animators are really picking up the ball now, with the pacing, it really flows nicely and the story is awesome!~ So character intros! Sugu!~ or Suguha, hehe Shes extremely adorable, if not extremely obvious in her crush, but thats how she is! I felt they animated her scenes with Kirito really well, but the scene were she suddenly hugs him felt kinda jarring, I dont know it might just be me being tired, watching these so late. Well I hope they do a good job with the scene of her finding out Kirito is, well, Kirito her brother/cousin/crush and the whole Lyfa thing. the fight with Sogou, that bastard, is just as awesome, especially were Kirito slashes his eye and in the "Real World" too with the knife fight, and Sogou's eye thing, wonder if theyll animate that? haaa, it was heart wrenching, the scene were Kirito went to visit Asuna. She looks really good, I wonder if its hospital care, or just the animators not wanting her to look bad? Never seen a person in a Coma in real life so no idea how bad it (can get)/gets. haha~! Really liked the subtle hint that Kirito's reconnected with the other people from SAO, Agil, in this case, with the final cliffhanger for this ep, A picture of Asuna~!...? and so beings ALO - Virtual World side!~ Finally We get to see Yui again! and maybe, see Asuna, you know, conscious, in ALO, as the ALF/Fairy Queen Titania. *twitch twitch* damn Sogou... Anyways maybe Kirito meets her/gets the card, ahh but I think thats much later right? Well heres hoping for another great ep next week~! er 2 days from now~ish haha, a little late on watching SAO arent I?hehe but seriously hope its aweome!!!~~~ |

Interesting start to the next arc. Figured it would be a slower episode, which it was, but it wasn't bad. Interesting to see Kirito in the real world. And he has a really cute sister that isn't actually his sister. Because that situation has never been done before. :/ Hopefully it'll still be good though. Was wondering how the series was going to continue, and having 300 people still in the game is interesting. Wonder what the explanation for that will be. New d-bag guy. The first season really didn't have one, so I guess now there is that obvious guy you're supposed to hate. Overall, good start to the new story. I was definitely not expecting this series to have any sort of split, and I wish the first world would of been flushed out more. I hope the series will continue to be really good into this next arc. |

no incest is not legal, at least not between siblings. ( or parents, etc) but cousin's are legally allowed to wed. Same here in the UK. It was very common with the landed gentry in England up until the 1900's. There is also plenty of research to suggest that the increased chance of genetic mutations increasing when reproducing with siblings/parents is not the case with cousins, there is enough genetic deviation. ( or at least that is what i read in a recent article. ) Also it is slightly more common in Japan for cousins to wed than in most countries, but it still makes up a VERY small % of overall marriages in Japan But for some reason it seems to be a VERY common topic / fetish in ALOT of animes. i dont quite know or understand why but hey there is a lot i don't understand. Personally it makes my skin crawl. Now as a person who is bang against ANY kind of incest, even cousin, hell even second cousins, i dont care, there are billions of people on the planet, why the fuck do you have to reproduce within the same gene pool?!?!?!? you dirty bastards!!!!!!! / rant over XD |

Me not liking that "Fairy Art Online" thingy and find the marriage thing a bit excessive, don't give me that cliché crap. I'm liking the "imouto" though. |

With Sword Art Online deleted, it's a good start to a new arc. It's nice to see Kirito's life in the real world and his interactions with his cousin/sister figure. I found the cousin romance awkward. Sugou is one fucking asshole whom I hate (alongside my hatable villains like Cal from Titanic, Snape from Harry Potter, and Biff from Back to the Future). I can't wait to see how the story folds as I want to see more. |

I seriously thought the series was ending with the way episode 14 was going, so I had to check how many episodes there were going to be, and I was beyond confused as to why episode 14 ended the way it did. I thought "they beat the game, they ended up living, what the heck is the rest of the series going to be about!?" I was seriously mind fucked because I know nothing of this show's novels, when I watched this episode I was pretty much shocked and excited beyond my mind. There's going to be ANOTHER game!? Poor Asuna is still somewhere out there, I wish for once we could have a sibling who wasn't in love with her damn brother and just have some nice sibling normal compassion but whatevs not surprised, and whatever his face new villian is an asshole and weird. Asuna's family is weird. Anyway super excited to see her as an elf, and this new game in general. Definitely took me by surprise though, did not see any of that coming lol. |

wow interesting. the plot is amazing. i never expect there would be another world. i was quite surprised when the game was cleared in episode 14, i thought it was way too early. |

So poor Asuna has been made into a trophy for Kirito to rescue both in the real world for one of the most unabashed creepers I've ever seen in a non-hentai anime and in the virtual world as a trophy. Because, you know, misogyny. All arguments that Asuna is a strong female character die with this episode. |
