| This episode is awesome, oh my. I'm very glad to see Sinon more in action! Dyne sacrificed himself(even if it's just a "game") while planning to throw a bomb to their opponents. After he died in the game, the two enemies just laughed, only to find out they were trapped in a bomb. So they also died. That's a karma for them! Sinon is a badass female character, and also intelligent. I love her now. That smiley-faced, minigun guy named Behemoth was strong, but she dodged, in a badass way, most of the bullets and lost only her virtual leg. After that, Sinon focused her sniper gun on his forehead(lol at his reaction). Then boom! After that intense fight and Sinon woke up(she's so cute in real life), Silica, Leafa and Lizbeth were in ALO fighting a monster. Oh well, Silica being a victim of tentacles again... Oh, and the two lovers spotted: Asuna and Kirito(waaa Kirito, you're good looking there). Then the three talked about them, and I sensed that there was jealousy going on. Oh, then the trio just laughed while talking about the couple. Then after Kirito remembered about Gun Gale Online(Kayaba was mentioned in the flashback, oh memories), he told Asuna that there's something he wanted to say to her. It's kinda cool to see the main casts of SAO change their hair color(except for Leafa because the color of her hair is still yellow). I like the op song. "Ignite", now. I can't wait for the neeeeeeext episode! |

| The fight scene was so damn stupid on multiple levels I can't even believe it. First and foremost: There is absolutely nothing at stake here, IT'S A GAME, don't act like you are somehow on a real battlefield (and don't tell me they are roleplaying because they clearly don't). "He is strong enough to smile on the battlefield." Really? He plays a game and has a minigun while fighting against opponents who look like they don't understand basic team tactics or at what range their guns are more effective at, of course he would smile while he mows you down for being stupid enough to leave cover. Her suggested plan is just as stupid. The guy with minigun running out of ammunition soon? Yeaa... probably not. Everyone going out and attacking him at the same time? The one thing, really the one thing where a minigun is especially good it, to shoot down a group of enemies attacking at once, are you sure you want to do that? The guys with the rifles don't seem to want to just aim out of cover and shoot at the guy with the minigun who doesn't use cover. I mean in every other online FPS you would get a bullet between your eyes by the time the minigun spins up to fire back. But nope, it's the one sniper on their team with the lowest firerate of them all who runs around in close proximity to the minigun wielder to somehow get a shot in, the thing high caliber sniper rifles are really are the worst at. |

| Okay episode I guess. The episode bore me halfway bur Sinon was the only reason I didn't stop watching. Damn she's so badass with that up close sniper shot. Although I have to wonder, how was she able to dodge all those bullets from the minigun when she was falling? |

Pretty much this. I don't get why this show takes itself so seriously. It's hilarious because I, ironically,can't take it seriously. The show only had this excuse in the first half of season one. Now, it doesn't have that excuse anymore. |
| good action scenes. real detail made for Sinon. the animation seems good too. the music is fine to boot. a good episode where no progress was made in the plot. the main talking point was the ear-sex provided by Miyuki Sawashiro in the form of Sinon :D. but i never knew that asuna had azure hair in ALO. |
| In another context I wouldn't hesitate to call Sinnon a fucking badass, but geez it's just a game. All of them need to chill the fuck down. PS: the girl needs some UV rays, too. She's white as a sheet. |

| This series is teaching us that gaming is serious business. Sinon too awesome! Didn't know you can do all those reflex moves with a Sniper. |

| Boring episode. Of course, Sinon's cool and all, but the episode itself wasn't interesting. |
Sapewloth said: In another context I wouldn't hesitate to call Sinnon a fucking badass, but geez it's just a game. All of them need to chill the fuck down. That and the awful exposition made this episode cringeworthy. Sinnon made some very questionable decisions; why didn't she shoot him while he was readying his minigun or the 200 other times she could've easily shot him, she could have also suppressed him by constantly shooting at him making him an easy target for the ground forces, anything but moving that close to the target while carrying a sniper rifle SMH. Why do they even allow unbalanced guns like this in the game? Everyone has peashooters while one of the protagonists and the villain has OP guns that can annihilate everyone easily. Seems P2W to me.. |
| Wow. I have a crush on Sinon. She's an interesting character. I like the ED. I hope the show won't ruin it all like they did for Asuna. |

Yes, I've seen CoD players lose their shit over nothing, and they still need to chill the fuck down. Them getting money or not off doesn't justify the fact that Sinon spouts some BS about having pride to die under the ennemy fire: this is not Aincrad and their life doesn't litteraly depend on whether they get killed or nah. And please: not all GGO players have the skill to live off of playing, do they? Not like that would matter for a highschool girl that doesn't live on her own, either. |

Of course not, but the ones that were in the scene do. At least Sinon's gank does. |

| Throughout the episode I could really relax with those amazing soundtracks by Kajiura. |
| Aliis si licet, tibi non licet. |
| I still don't know what went on Kirito's head when he got that lightsaber. Wanted to look cool I guess? Well, will find out maybe in the next episode. |
|
| Sinon is the best character this series has had yet. I'm terrified at the prospect of her playing second-fiddle to anyone, let alone Kirito. Hopefully she continues to be as badass as this episode proved she is. |

They could have easily taken him down if she suppressed him so that he would constantly have to move. Then he couldn't aim at the guys at the ground and he would have been toast. |

What if she lives alone, has another personal reason for acting like that and A-1 cut out a lot of her monologue. Yep, when I think back on it there's most likely a reason why she takes things so seriously. I guess Dyne also throwing a fit over getting killed (when their group was the one that attacked in the first place, on top of that) didn't help. But otherwise yeah, I do realize Sinon probably her own personal reasons to act the way she does and that most certainly tie in to a tragic backstory or smth like that. She still needs to simmer down, tho and enjoy herself a bit more. |

Of course LN readers will understand it since the LN explained why that was so but for those who didn't read the LN it would be a bit confusing. Well that question was already answered in the last page but not everyone who asks questions just came here to bash at the episode. |

It was a few seconds. since Behemoth can aim at different players in a few seconds he shouldn't have any problem with lifting it straight to Sinon. Plus the point of my post was to say that not all questions on this threads are about just bashing the episode. |

Are they that OP? The gun she is using is based off the M82, which has a bullet velocity of 853 meters per second, it would take the bullet less than two seconds to get there and you still believe that they would be able to easily avoid it? Him avoiding it was BS. If we say that all of their guns have a firing rate of 600 RPM and that their shields only hold for 2 seconds it would still allow them to pump him full with 20 bullets of lead per person. He wouldn't be able to hit them all. |

You saw that red line?That shows the bullet bath just before it is fired.And YES they can avoid it like that. -Riptide- said: You mean that it is possible to lift a minigun at 90 degrees?ssjokg said: Dont you think that it makes sense to not be able to pull a minigun 90 degrees in an instant?

ssjokg said: They did explain that it would be hard to move with that thing. So hard that you're still able to avoid a sniper bullet coming at you with it. Anyway, the messages this anime tries to convey are still a problem with me. That pro-players are shown to take their games so seriously, why not? But that the anime actually tries to tell us that acting like that is the right thing to do. No, just no! |
| You guys seem to misunderstand what I'm trying to say. I'm saying that not because we ask about things like how was Behemoth wasn't able to lift the minigun straight at Sinon, we were just being trolls trying to bash the episode. I merely used that "Behemoth lifting the minigun" question as an example because I asked that exact question a few pages ago and I wasn't being a troll just trying to bash the episode when I asked it. |
|
| I like this episode more than the first due to the action even if it's only momentarily :D Nice to see a lot of attention being placed on Sinon this episode :) |
