BlueBladeSky said: I've been bugged for a while, but does anyone know the name of the peaceful music in the first seconds in this episode? (Before the opening music starts) I can't seem to find it anywhere. The only thing i can find is the OP and the ED music. Does it even have a name? I would appreciate if someone answers. THe OST isn't released yet. |

| All these signs... I've got a really bad feeling - possible Death Flag. |
| that looks like it won't end good for his girl :( |

GrayArchon said: Simple. They aren't using a narrator, or generally revealing character thoughts. The anime skipped over the period of time they were disconnected, and none of the conversations we've seen have had reason for the characters to bring it up until now. They already knew it happened, and had no reason to spontaneously discuss it. Until now where it's a lead in to the point that a body essentially in a coma is not going to last nearly as long as a healthy, active body. Yeah, I guess I just find the whole skipping over everything a problem. |
| This episode was pretty damn good. |

I mean they animated all of what the LN said for that fight, so I thought it would just end as abruptly as the novel did. |
| I finished reading volume 1 yesterday and watched this episode today... I have no idea what the second half of this anime is going to be about. |

| It would be cool if Asuna died, the show could really improve from there. lol |

defunct said: It would be cool if Asuna died, the show could really improve from there. So cruel of you! I don't know if the show will improve though. I tried imagine this to happen, but I think the series would just get rushed if Asuna does die. Maybe it's just me. |

| Oh man, oh man, I can't wait until this arc finishes... I think the series will truly shine when ALO gets adapted. |

brainstorm5 said: defunct said: It would be cool if Asuna died, the show could really improve from there. lol it sure would, hate that bitch. This boss is supposed to be a strong one, so I guess someone relevant will die in this fight, but it won't be Asuna, maybe Heathcliff or the black dude. |

Sukha said: What it's funny about this anime it's that almost all the secondary characters are more interesting than the two main characters xD Klein, Agil, Heathcliff, Sachi, Yui...Everytime the two mains speak it's so ZzZzZz this +1 |

| Actually glad that nepal is facing disaster |
| I love this episode. I love seeing Asuna and Kirito together and how they really trust each other, I love the fight scene and the raid (which were awesome). This anime keeps getting better and better. Haters gonna hate. |

You will hate life next week. Don't worry, I don't want to see anyone to die. I was just making a prediction, cause those strong boss are usually a good ocassion for a character to make a heroic sacrifice. |
| "Life is definitely worth living." ...rigghhtt and that's coming from a fictional MMORPG. LOL That's the largest party they could assemble? I didn't count them but a glance it looks like they number less than 50 players or so. We're so screwed. X_X Mother of Gawd! O_O That thing has 5 HP bars of gawd knows how much and they're not even denting the top hp bar gauge that much on the first three minutes of their probing attacks! o_O Their attack plan is just forming as they go. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| i'm glad I waited until today to watch SAO.Now I can watch ep 14 too and the how the boss fight ends overall good episode this boss was really threatning 5/5 |
 |
| The new boss is quite a step up in difficulty compared to what they were used to. Looks very creepy, is very agile, and has very high damage. Panic is what probably destroyed the scouting team. I noticed that it tends to go after the panicking players first. Interesting to note that the players have been brought to hospitals to sustain them while they're trapped in Aincrad. Well, that's one less question over how they all managed to survive two years stuck in virtual reality. |
| Wow what a sweet and nice episode, well until the boss fight started. God damn this boss is a OHKOer wow. Shit sure did get intense towards the end with players dropping like flies. Nice humor with the whole fishing thing lol. |
 |
| They should change the demographic from shonen to virgin. |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |

| The fishing part of the episode with the old man was a nice touch, but it's still good to be back at the front lines! I wonder what floor they're trying to clear though, there wasn't any mention as far as I'm aware. I think we heard about the 90th floor a few episodes back, but I'm not sure. Though in the boss fight it looks like they're only Kirito, Asuna, Heathcliff and then Klein and Agil because all the other players are doing is dying. |

| I thought with the fishing part at the start that we wouldn't see much action but wow. That fight was just amazing. |
 |
| The Skull Reaper was scary as hell!! How can they beat that thing?!?! |
| FINALLY Some action! God, I was getting bored with those sappy episodes! This is much better! |
 DAT BOSS BATTLE!!!!!! zomgwtfbbq!!!! Watching this episode makes me feel like running old school Naxxramas with a 40 man group!!!!! To the people who never played vanilla WoW or any MMO, it will be easy to criticize this anime..., but those who know the joy of being in a server first guild will love this it!!! LMAO!!!!! i feel like running some raids now! >.< |

| I just noticed there are only melee attackers and not any range attackers or magic, where most mmorpg have mages or archer class etc. They would have been be helpful here since you cannot get close to the boss. |
