| The drama was so cheesy = =.... sorry SAO but it's a 4/10 for this arc. |
| And so ends the GGO arc. It was pretty good. But still not as good as the first arc. I have a feeling they will really have a tough time topping it. I almost feel guilty going to play ArcheAge now cause of Shinos little "reality" speech. OH WELL video games are better then real life! ahaha Cant wait to see the New OP and ED songs. |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| Right in the feels.. |
| OMG, loool. They couldn't think of anything better than a conveniently placed electrode? And then all that drama and philosophizing about what their reality is. Still interested in seeing what the next two arcs will be about. |
| That was a nice way to wrap up the arc for Sinon. Let's go to the next game. And yes, that was such a convenient electrode. >.< |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| is there going to be another NTR, tentacle rape arc? this show is way too melodramatic even for my high tolerance levels |
| so, is the GGO finished? or after this will also in GGO? or they move to ALO? |
| a dual-sword wielder, fire element in right arm and ice element in left arm |
| So far some episodes felt boring, others felt exciting, and a few parts were I was like hmm, not liking the drama. But despite that, I liked the ending to this arc, it was really touching with the mother and her kid. Kirito's friends are very kind, going out of their way to help a girl they don't personally know. I like the visual for the Mother Rosary arc, it's looks really pretty. |
| Wow what BS, first of Kirito survives because some random electrode, and then he introduces Asuna as part of his friends.Sigh...despite that tho, last scenes were pretty touching.Sinon deserves some happiness after all she's been through. |
 |
| That was a good ending. Sinon is a good character who had a great character development. can't wait for the next arc |
| OT: I always thought when reading that the GGO arc was better than the First arc, but I think I like the first Arc more still. iLostReason said: Wow what BS, first of Kirito survives because some random electrode, and then he introduces Asuna as part of his friends.Sigh...despite that tho, last scenes were pretty touching.Sinon deserves some happiness after all she's been through. Random? Not really. He was just at the hospital and then came down. Your sense of 'random' is ridiculous. |

Of all the things that would have happened, he gets saved by a freaking electrode. |

| That electrode... talk about plot armor. Asuna doesn't address their relationship? Sinon doesn't notice their dating, like in the LN? Wut? Is this a harem, or is Kirito clearly attached to one? Asada doesn't see Kyouji, just mentions she will? Sigh... why do/don't they do these things... Shouichi was actually pretty smexy. He could easily attract a harem. |

| Mmm that heart monitor on a tiny part of his chest stops the syringe. The plot armor is real. Sinon's confrontation with the bullies was a little absurd, she could have gotten them in a whole lot of trouble because (real or not) they pointed a gun at her. But I suppose that scene was there for the purpose of showing character development. Similarly, the info dump afterwards would have been better spread out across the episode rather than Kirito delivering it all in 2 min, since that was a bit hard for me to follow. Up until now Death Gun has still been pretty mysterious, so I'm glad they just went and told us who he is made of and where he came from. And of course, like everybody else, I was waiting for Sinon to find out Kirito and Asuna's relationship, but he conveniently left it out of conversation. You could see Asuna and Lizbeth angry for a second when they see him bringing in another girl, but this is anime—+1 harem. |
 |
| I can't be the only one upset that Kirito forgot to mention in his introduction for Asuna that she is his girlfriend and technical WIFE? |

Actually, Sinon notices Kirito and Asuna's relationship, it was not shown or anything, but in the LN she noticed that they were dating, I was pretty surprised they didn't explain that but that A1 for you. |
| Nevermind Sinon, bring us Yuuki already. |
| I agree with the guy who mentioned A-1 needs to reboot season 1 with Progression, which I found the manga better than the original one. |
| Bullies always getting away without paying shit, cliche. Plot armor. A bunch of boring talking. |

| Surprisingly decent ending to this arc, given the last couple of terrible episodes. Hopefully, Sinon won't need to be saved from Kirito anymore. Also, Sinon standing up to her bullies was a good thing, too. Gotta love how over-dramatic and psychopathic those group of girls are. Pulling a gun on her...christ. And were they trying to make us sympathize with Kyouji and his brother? Because lol. Dude got pissed off that some guy screwed him over, and takes his revenge(that's understandable, sure). But why go after other people? |
| SAO harem gives Sinon therapy, hooray |
 |
| I like how Kirito deliberately avoided introducing Asuna as his girlfriend. |
 |
| Sinon needs to meet the rest of Kirito's harem. Looks like we have the Caliber arc next and then Mother Rosario after. |

| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| I really enjoyed this arc overall, I mean there were a few things I was little meh about e.g. Kirito conveniently being able to still use a sword effectively in a shooter + the unessacary fan service. But the switch to a game revolving around guns was a good change of pace. Last episode really got my heart going, having not read the light novel it was completely unexecpted; when Kirito burst throught the door apwijdaowidjawdiuh Would have liked to see him kick the little shit's ass but happy with how it turned out And ugh that introduction tho, I was half expecting him to kiss the ground that she walked on while he introduced her, considering him and Asada practically spooned in that cave -.- |
| The end of this arc. Nice. Asada-san got over it, I guess :) |
 |
| Great episode. Just don't understand why Kirito didn't introduce Asuna properly. Right now it seems like a move for some potential cheap drama, but hopefully they don't go that route. I loved Asada standing up to the bullies, and the closure for her story (as far as the bank thing) |
| So apparently Kirito doesn't feel it's neccessary to be like "oh, this is my girlfriend Asuna." I'm not sure how to feel. |

HotNoob said: Just... boring... lots and lots of episodes of nothing but talking. really missing a lot of the elements that made sao awesome. SAO was never awesome, except in first and second episode. After that, it all went to shit. Oh, and episode 6 (I think), that solo boss battle. And first fight with Kayaba. Fuck it, as far as fights go, SAO (Not ALO) was awesome. |
| Ad Astra Per Aspera |
| 2 things. Why didn't Kirito introduce Asuna as his girlfriend. I was waiting for that so Asada wouldn't have to get her hopes up. Also extremely luck of him to have that electrode on and in the exact right place. Realistically it's slightly dome shaped and not made of hard plastic or metal. The needle would have slid off of it and punctured the skin. Great ending to the arc though |
 |
| *Looks at Asuna* "These are my firends from SAO" well played Kirito Pretty sure ce called Asuna his friend so he could lure Sinon further into his harem |
 Whats my age again? WHERE IS MY ASIAN FRIEND!!!!!!! |
| I found this episode very touching and beautiful! <3 Not only Shino overcame her fear,but she also learned about the lives she saved.I waited for a long time to see this scene animated,and it didn`t dissapoint me al all. :) I also loved how Sinon let her gun go at the end,as a symbol of her getting stronger,and beating her fear! Also,that smile at the end was just..! <3 |
This is where I`d put my signature...If i had one. |
| Sachi's mother confirmed |
| Is the next arc really back in alo?? |
 |
| Sachi's mother confirmed |
| Nice episode. Nice to see that Sinon has overcome her fears. |
 |
| D'awwwww I bet these next episode are going to be booooorring |
| Well I suppose the not introducing Asuna properly thing could be that they didn't want to put in any of the romance drama right before the emotional scene that comes. If that is the case I can accept it... I really hope it is... because Asuna is the best |
| Looks like it was Sinon that saved Kirito in the end. Nice to see that Sinon got to meet Asuna and the others from SAO. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| Touching ending to the arc. What's next? |
 |
| Not a bad episode to wrap up this arc. Loved how Kirito just flinches from Liz's punch to make her fall...that was like an in-your-face palm stack lol... Funny how most who complained about pacing for this arc being too slow are most likely the same people who think first season was too fast....and whether that electrode was plot armor or not does not make the story go bad. Considering how pretty much a fair few anime in the last few years have used the same concept(eg. Akame ga Kill with tatsumi's mini-totem) anyways can't wait for next arc |
