| Noob Sinon y u no press undress?! Banned! Desu Gun showed up again, wow~ |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Next episode: Kirito: Who are you? Darth Vader Death Gun: I am your father. Overall good episode. The ending was awesome. I wonder who Death Gun is. |

Ajunky said: k2kambo said: Undercover means serving secretly as an agent, hiding his name is not necessary (as he is not an active police officer or similar)why did he register as kirito if hes suppose to be undercover, gg. mistake on his part. Not hiding a real name (or known alias in this case) makes a cover stronger. It is dangerous since he would be an easier target if the cover is blown, but we can't have the hero play it too safely can we? XD Except that the whole point of him entering there IS because he's kirito. that was already stated in the first episode. Getting his name out IS the point. Death Gun targets famous players and Kirito is as famous as you can get. |
 |
| Good to see Death Gun finding Kirito instead, that made things easier for him now :D |
 |
| I don't know if I saw it correctly, but are Death Gun's stats maxed out? Pretty crazy. I'll probably continue to admit how I'm sort of liking certain points in this show as it progresses so... I quite like the little details we got about who Death Gun is. The plot thickens! But of course cliffhanger. |
| Female logic in this anime never fails to amaze me... :P |
 |
| Well that was a fun episode. :3 Now Shino knows that Kirito is a boy...LOL! That reaction slap~! x3 Anyways....the first round for Kirito was easy-peezy. :P Hopefully it'll be the same the next few rounds. x3 And....I would really love to see Kirito and Shino fight: That would be intense! XD Umm....Death Gun..... WHOA!! THAT SYMBOL! The laughing....Coffin....Assassination group back in SAO.....yeah....I think, I forgot. :P But, that's a surprise, seeing that symbol again. D: |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| I loved how Kirito abused his feminine side and teased Sinon and her companion. Kind of scary at the same time, though. |
| Was I supposed to laugh at that changing scene? Mad awkward lol. And that guy must've been masochistic, taking all that damage for 10 seconds without doing shit lol. |
 |
| Sweet mother of god, that was Majestic! Now I should re-watch this episode everyday till next one airs... |

| Excellent episode, I'm honestly surprised by A-1 as they're doing a great job in both pacing and animation. Anyway, I was wondering how Kirito detected that guy's position when he was sneaking around. I imagine it was a skill, but how and when did he get that? Also, could the stuff related to the Laughing Coffin skipped in the first season be put in this season? |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| *Slap* Shino is a noob. |
 |
| Sticking to the Light Novels rather closely, only missing out small details tbh. Doing amazing so far! |

Takuan_Soho said: Bluey said: What's not valid about his criticism? Because while all criticism is opinion, not all opinion is criticism. Criticism is a higher form of opinion, the core difference is that it explains "why" an opinion is valid. Criticism should be able to spark a debate, opinion does not because since it is personal it has no way of being debated. To use a metaphor, criticism is like a scientific theory: it can be falsified, the validity of the criticism is how well it can stand up against attempts to disprove it, and the longer it stands up the closer to truth it becomes (though like science, criticism is never "true").; opinion is like faith, it can never be refuted, but that doesn't make it true or gives it any value. "That writer sucks" is not a criticism, it is an opinion. Explaining "Why" a writer is not very good would be a form of criticism. "There is too much fanservice" likewise is not criticism, it is an opinion. Explaining "how" this show has more fanservice than others would be a form of criticism. For example, ALO had too much fanservice because many scenes were incidental to the story and often they cut important information just so they could have more fanservice. That would be a criticism. Bluey said: I've read the SAO part of his books, he is a pretty awful writer tbh, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who's read a few dozen quality books to think he isn't... That likewise is not a criticism because what does "quality" mean. If you are trying to compare the writer to Tolstoy of course he is horrific, but that is a stupid comparison because 99.999999999999% of all the writers in the world would come off poorly next to Tolstoy. Besides the writer is aiming for the teenage market, so the only real valid critiicsm would be to compare him with other such writers. For instance is he better or worse than the writer Twilight, if so then why. That is criticism. I don´t know... For me he is a good writer since I enjoy his books PD: For this statement: "you'd be hard pressed to find someone who's read a few dozen quality books to think he isn't... " I´ve read everything Jules Verne has written, I acted Romeo and Juliet, I´ve read Othelllo, the broken woman of Simone de Beauvoir, a compilation of russian short stories, The Three Musketeers, some greek myths, medieval spanish poetry, greek comedy and every short stories written by Edgar Allan Poe, currently reading H.P Lovecraft, Stephen King, Tolkien and Richard Matheson. Yet I think he isn´t bad (I´ve read worse writters, some of them really boring, with characters so "realistic" that become unenjoyable and if they intended to make you feel fond of the character failed, well actually one, but Simone de Beauvoir was a feminist, not a writer so it is forgiveable) Yes, he´s got plot holes and stuff but heck he is an amateur and I like the VR/RL concept in the series and I find filling the plot holes with stuff showed in the books entertaining. Leaving that aside... I give 5 stars to this episode since I enjoyed it aandd This is kind of an off topic with a huge blunt... Somehow could Reki be kind of a futurist? Or to be at the level of the master Jules Verne if his works somehow became useful for understanding VR? |

Bloc97 said: As of episode 5, the anime covers 90% of the first volume of Phantom Bullet. I would say GGO will take at most 16 episodes. There's no way they can stretch the second volume in 21 episodes, it would be way too boring. Even 10 episodes for the second volume of GGO would feel dragged out. |

| Wow This has kept rather calmed taking in account we´re in a SAO thread I did expect a lot of flaming, discussions and some funny images |

| Liked the episode, but really, the moment Sinon realizes Kirito is a dude, she activates tsundere-mode..?*Sigh*, i kinda hope he beats her at her own game now. Liking the pacing overall, as well as the cliff-hanger, though it'd be funny if Kirito just figures it out the next episode and the Death Gun mystery is over. |

Tirno said: SayonaraSelena said: Cuz the episode is too good and haters can't do nothing :) Its because either ppl actually started to like it, or the haters decided to not watch it, or they've realized its a waste of time to do so, or because its just plain boring. Btw your comment made me laugh. Tell me you´re intending to start a flame war come on!!!! I want one with all the funny images it implies! |

Bloc97 said: I would say it might be possible they take 10 more episodes considering a lot happens during the second novel compared to the first. It would also feel a little bit rushed to finish the entire arc in 7 more episodes. Yeah, no 16 is way too long. ~14-13 total at BEST. |
|
Shih said: This was really good enough for a LOL :DAfter watching this episode, I would actually think that they can drag the entire GGO arc into 24 episodes. o_o Kirito feat. his inner feminine self.  The episode was fascinating! :D Loved it ˘-˘ |
 |
| Some how I knew they wouldn't forget about the Laughing Coffin. This is actually pretty awesome, because now... The killing games won't stop. There must be other members in this guild besides Death Gun, which means they may be playing other games... Lol please note that I don't read the novel and if I'm terribly wrong about something, I'm sorry. x) |
| Signature removed. Because it was too kawaii for all you weeaboos. |

| Nice episode I guess. The animation was top-notch. 4/5 |
 |
| Enjoyable episode. I now ship Sinon X Kirito. Who needs Asuna anyways? XD |
 |
| Kirito finally showing his bad-assness again from the first season. I'm loving the Jedi lightsaber action but can someone please tell me the mechanics with the plasma sword? I thought it couldn't deflect physical bullets (at least the plasma shields couldn't)? Sinon changing into her undergarments in front of Kirito, and Kirito pleading the fifth was hilarious as hell! Sinon actually slapped him hard enough to leave a mark similar to a bullet injury. The guy friend of her's though, is plenty suspicious of them. He's probably trying to hit on Sinon though. The fight was alright, nothing out of the ordinary aside from melting physical bullets . He's still learning the ropes of the game though. Then the post-battle confrontation with Death Gun and his Laughing Coffin insignia. Makes you wonder though. Even Kirito got an entirely new avatar, so how is it that Mr. DeathGun retains his tatoo in GGO? I wanna see what Kirito's response is! I wanna see it nao!!! |

| Holy crap, this time SAO got a lot of 5/5s in the score and now it seems nobody is feeling in the mood to argue and stuff SAO Wut r u doin SAO Staph |

L-Ryoshi said: I said this before but it's probably just a decoration item, mmo games are full of these things (items to change hair style, hair color, face, and hell even skin color sometimes). With this being a VRMMO I guess it would be possible to custom make deco/cosmetic items (in this case a specific tatoo) to your liking.Then the post-battle confrontation with Death Gun and his Laughing Coffin insignia. Makes you wonder though. Even Kirito got an entirely new avatar, so how is it that Mr. DeathGun retains his tatoo in GGO? I.e this Death Gun dude made it himself after joining GGO, it's not the same one as SAO. Rolanddeschain said: The episode wasn't "slow" and didn't "suck" because it had action. Also there is nothing to argue about except maybe Kirito detecting the enemy and his insane reflexes (this one was discussed to death last episode though).Holy crap, this time SAO got a lot of 5/5s in the score and now it seems nobody is feeling in the mood to argue and stuff SAO Wut r u doin SAO Staph |

| Now I really wonder who this Death Gun guy really is. Kuradeel just seems to easy, but it might be someone of the same guild. |

| Nice to finally see things are starting to happen. It took long enough. Confused for the need for a changing room when you don't even take your clothes off they just materialize off. |

Hmmm That´s a really though question... Back in my WoW days I used to pick sexy clothing and be a lesbian whore night elf... Would I do the same if I actually felt and did everything my character did in first person with direct broadcast to my brain? |

|
| Ok, facts about Episode 5: > Sinon is shit-tier > Kirito is literally a Jedi > Death Gun is Darth Vader I really liked this episode, though. And loved dat music when Kirito activates Jedi Mode <3 Need dat OST ASAP. |
