I really expected the alicization beginning cliffhanger, guess we will not have a season 3?

anyway it was pretty good overall (better than s1 for sure imho), and well, i hope that the best arc (alicization) will be animated

A pretty sad ending for Yuuki :(

Overall while it is better than season 1 it's still pretty average. 7/10

Emotionally done well, but felt like even more skipping of important aspects to what was explained in-depth in the novel was done more in this final episode. Better development than the first season, but still fails to deliver a very good anime overall.

After the first 2 episodes I thought we were in for a treat. But things went downhill from there and the Excalibur arc was an embarrassament for a production that has the budget of SAO. Mothers Rosario was a bit better but they laid the drama too thick for my liking.

Dat OST. Here we have Yuuki, enjoying the last of her days.
And in a tournament, Kirito got owned by Yuuki.
Therefore, Yuuki must be killed off because she's more OP than the main character.

But to be serious, it's pretty cool how all the fairies (except Agil) appear for Yuuki's passing.
I guess there are some perks in being the strongest swordsman in the game.

Cool, it's Siune in real life.
Ah, they mentioned Kayaba Akihiko. He will never truly die.
I guess Season 2 ended well. Can't wait for Season 3 though. (^_^)

PS Can someone PM me where I can read the light novels and/or the web novels?
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Little African kids all over the world are now mourning the passing of Yuuki Konno. She's an inspiration to everyone who has fought against Super AIDS all around the world (but mostly in Africa). She is a shining beacon of hope that shows all of us that with enough heart, courage and perseverance, Asuna can become your personal waifu as well.

She new already from what it looks like from the last episode. Don't you remember when she made that comment "I get the feeling that he lives outside reality in a different way than I do". Yuuki was basically giving Asuna a warning about him.

Season as a whole was...ok-ish.
5/10

I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but there was simply too much content.
I felt like this were 2 seasons, not one. I never got too attached to anyone, and as soon as I started developing some "feelings" for a character, he/she was gone.
Well, not gone gone, but swept to side.

Oh well, GGO arc was good.

The next arc is bigger than Season 1&2 combined material wise and is still ongoing. The series is selling well and is popular so it's just a matter of time before we get more seasons.

Good to hear that, im not the kind of person that its like "best anime ever bla bla or one of the best of all time" like some people, but i actually think its better then the average ones we have out there. And i enjoy it, thats what matters, its good to hear that, and i like this season, but nothing that this series offers cant beat the first half of the first season. And the next arc is it good?

I haven't personally read the arc yet but from what I hear it's the best arc. The first arc is good but only in the light novels because so much content was skipped in the anime. The next arc looks like it's Anicrad 2.0 from what I have seen but better since the focus is more on AI and VR more than ever.

Shit as usual, just now even more emotionally manipulative than a regular Key work.
Oh well, 3/10. A bit better than S1, but still horrible.

Wonderfully handled episode, though I'll admit another 1 or 2 episodes to extend on certain details that were just glossed over before the OP could have helped with the emotional impact. Overall a lot better handled than S1.

Though.....that was not the after credits scene I was looking for, what was that I don't even. Ah well, at least it wasn't completely random fluff.

Didn't think SAO can be this emotional... Mother's Rosario the best arc SAO has to offer... Drama + Action + FEELS....

GGO - 6/10 (good @ first, then got boring)
Excalibar - 6/10 (meh)
Mother's Rosario - 8+/10 (EPIC)

Series - 7/10

I liked this episode very much but I cant help but feel like it was rushed way too much. I really liked Yuuki but I feel like they should've played the story all the way through so that we could've grown a deeper connection with the character. They sped through the last 3 months of her life, all the fun and adventures we could have seen them go through. I just really wish i could have seen all of the adventures and got to know the other members of Yuuki's guild. However all in all, this was an episode that still was able to bring me to tears. I really liked it.

Yuuki was a true fighter until the very end.

Sword Art Online II was overall a great season that imo beat the first season overall with Mother's Rosario and GGO arcs.

I cannot wait until the next season of Sword Art Online to roll around because we all know it will come.

~Great episode and season!!!

A 7 / 10 for me

Mother's Rosario definitely saved the show, but it wasnt enough to forget about the disappointing arcs it had. If only they made S2 12 episodes with MR being much longer then this anime would be amazing.

Before the last arc of S2 came out, i heard people saying that Mother's Rosario is the best SAO Arc, so i had my expectations way up high. And once MR was finished...... It just went waaaaaaaay above my expectations =D. SO im hearing about how good Alicization is =D

Soooooo, probably season 3 will come out and it will be a very very long time before it comes out, especially since im graduating from high school next year. But i cannot wait in what else they have to offer.

Well, this anime was like;

Editor: Guys we have anime so we need to last manga a bit longer. You have to write, just write whatever you want. It doesnt matter, they will read.

So, Yuuki's story is not about SAO tema. It was just filler. It was okey but 11 episodes were just filler to make anime a bit longer. This anime should finish at 13th episode.

In the end, okey we watched some action scenes in first 13 episodes and we watched some emotinal scenes at end. It was okey but nothing more.

What is "tema"?
And for the record, this story isn't about SAO anymore. Only the first arc really was. And this was written almost a full decade before the anime was published, so no, not really written for being filler.
It has plot relevance and character development fairly important to Asuna in particular seeing as how undeveloped she was prior.

I guess unless the arc directly tells you it's related to the story it goes right over peoples heads lol. Still don't know why people think they are fillers when they actually relate to the plot of the series and on top of that it's based off the source material.

Just thinking about this again and reading comments...I'm getting chills. D;

From beginning it was nothing but emotions running down my cheeks D; Yuuuuuki!! <3 </3 <3
I absolutely love that everyone came to say goodbye to her...and how Asuna held on to her.
She has a trademark from Yuuki which I hope will be used in the future (hoping for SAO 3).

Yuuki is my second favorite character and watching her leave was hard ;'(((
Mother's Rosario Arc was definitely my favorite and as realistic as they made it with bringing AIDS and cancer into the Anime, I wish they had chosen another way.
They also needed to show Sinon more, mi gustaaa Sinon. :T

Hoping for a cliffhanger to see if SAO would continue but it ended with a happy scene! Kirito xx Asuna!
