Kirito guy remembered that time, and got the leader. After they ran away, he called the sister girl to save him. Needing dangerous treatment to save him. The soul of Alice girl came to talk to them when it's done. It seems like Eugeo guy is well. It seems like that moment was like an imagination. Continuing with cutting the tree, then Kirito guy is able to cut the most of it off now with what happened before in the cave. Eugeo guy wanting him to teach him sword fighting. He calls it "Eincrad style", huh. Eugeo guy finished cutting the tree. Celebration since their mission is done. Eugeo guy gets a chance to choose next mission. He chose to be a swordman and one day to save Alice girl. He also wants sister girl to wait for him. (Long? as I heard it's the longest arc ever) Journey begins. Why do you have to add guy/girl after you mention each character? I mean, it's not like it's gonna help anyone who's starting SAO at Alicization since you're referring to eugeo and kirito as "guys" |
 |
| Fight was cool. The goblin was more stubborn than I expected. They finally chopped down the tree! I’m a little sad that we probably won’t see Selka again anytime soon. |
 |
| I love SAO, mainly because the fight animation is my favourite and the best I've seen ; and with this season,olive how the creative direction made these NPC "fluctlights" seem like they're a game character -especially those goblins. I don't get how all those !I've namescams to kirito, I've not been able to recall them from previous but oh well... However, what ticked me off were those goblins; I know goblins work effectively under leader of some sort (usually another hideous thing, like an ogre) but they're still horde creatures. Yet as soon as Kirito's brandishing that giant goblin head they ran off -I'm sure that horde as capable of overpowering kirito [the god]. Kirito ya bish, you best not be adding another member to your harem... I'm seeing selka croppin' in there so stone soon - By the way, don't Koreans or Japanese people refer to selfies as selkas or selca Anyways. I don't know whos character dynamics kirito and Eugeo's reminding me of! |

| Really good episode, I'm enjoying Alicization a lot more than the previous seasons. I was not expecting A-1 to pull together enough resources for movie-quality animation, expecially since they out-source a lot of their work. Just curious, is the world-building and story happening in Underworld (Eugeo and Kirito heading out to save Alice) in any way related to anything in the real world of SAO? |
Tiande said: Something didn't feel right with this episode, I really liked all the previous ones tho.. 1. Not enough Kirito talking to himself about the events that happened. 2. Nitpicky but Kirito's deep cut arm got better a few moments later during the fight, blood gone, handicap gone. 3. Kirito's movements during the battle were way over-unrealistic and overpowered, was that "real life movements" or "in-game boosted movements" ? 4. So Kirito remembers about Alice/Eugeo ? To what degree, and why isn't he talking to himself about it. I like SAO and am looking forward for more, but I might have set my expectations too high today. 2. Just realised the blood completely disappeared in a few moments lol, but the handicap might have been removed due to adrenaline although I'm not sure how much it applies to injuries. 3. It's most likely boosted in-game movements. Kirito and Eugeo were suddenly able to wield the Blue-Rose sword right after the cave fight, which raised their Object Control Authority. 4. From what I know so far, Kirito doesn't really have any memories, but he did react to Alice's name and his promise with Alice and Eugeo. These actions may be sub-conscious and Kirito might not realise that he has any connection with the past events. |
| Goblins are afraid of glowing grass... Looks like after the Goblin fight, Kirito and Eugeo got enough experience to easily wield the Blue Rose considering how heavy it looked before... And so the journey begins... |
 |
| Sas(k)uga! A1. That fight is worth the wait, thinking just how the fights will be animated later, makes me anticipated. I'm not that bothered with the cut scenes from the LN, since that's too mich content for this episode. At least they got all the main plot points. The scene about what thing is on Kirito's back will probably be flashback. Okay next episode |
 |
| THIS EPISODE WAS PERFECTION !!!!! If every episode is as good as this one, it would make Alicization the best SAO anime. |

Alice is an AI that manage to defy the system, that make her quite special. Why that is important? Well, you have to know why Underworld was build in the first place which will be explained later. |
 |
| was pretty happy to see Kirito Fear and suffer a bit was surprised he managed to actually win but right after the fight you just see like 50 goblins run away and i'm like Y'all didn't bother to attack these two this whole time? i thought it was just a group of like 5 of them and the big one lol... |
 |
| great episode great fight and the music too, as expected from Yuki Kajiura. But they cut 2 big scenes in this episode: 1. Eugeo fights Zink 2. Kirito talks to Selka and kiss her on the forehead, the anime replaced kirito with eugeo i guess if the scene Kirito kissed Selka appear, it would bring chaos to the fandom lol. cant wait for the next ep, Asuna incoming! |
 |
| Kirito actually has the same level of bullshit as Natsu well at least the animation was awesome |
| I hope the quality of the animation remains this way in the possible 50 episodes. Regardless, I'm loving the pacing and the narrative done in this arc. |
 A digital frontier to reshape the human condition. |
| God damn the animation and art style is so clean and beautiful. Very Fate and Ufotable like with how they animate the particle effects during action scenes. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| Fight was pretty good, but I felt like the camera was a bit jumpy at parts. Maybe I'm just nitpicking. Paul said: Yeah, that really bothered me too. I'm really bothered by Kirito's line to Selka when trying to save Eugeo: "You're Alice's sister aren't you?" and then throughout the episode proceeds to constantly tell her shes her own person and not a replacement for her sister. |
 |
| Superb! SAO doing the most! Awesome, can't wait see more. |

| “THERE EXIST IN THIS WORLD SOMETHING NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN IT'S GENTLE SO VERY SWEET THE GLIMPSES IS ALL IT TAKES TO MAKE A PERSON CRAVE IT THAT'S WHY IT'S NEVER BEEN SEEN THAT'S WHY THE WORLD HAS KEPT HIDDEN MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN BUT ONE DAY, IT WILL BE FOUND BY THE PERSON WHO IS MEANT TO FIND IT. BECAUSE THAT'S HOW IT WORKS." |
| Great episode, starting with that intense fight with the goblins (some very good animation and choreography on display there), before having Kirito teach Eugeo sword skills and help free him from the Gigas Cedar so the mission to save Alice can finally begin. |
| Damn the fight scene was lit |
 |
| I'd been a bit iffy on the series so far even though I love SAO, but this episode really pulled itself together. Very excited to see more now~ :D |
| the fight scene sakuga was really good. my favourite ep in sao so far!!!!!! eugeo is so squishy |
| The animations are really outstanding, can't wait to see more fights. |
| I'm sorry but can we just admire SFX and animation? Yeah the battle was nothing special (still looking good but nothing special compared to, some other from SAO universe) but you can't denied. They took a good care about it and I know there is still more to go. I'm not a novelist reader so I can't assume, how much they cut but I believe it will be a really good series! |
| Finally a good episode. The other ones were average I hope they keep it as good as this one |
| watch out, Eugeo, watch out Kirito, you're being attacked by BAD CG those goblins were just disgusting [insert goblin slayer joke] at least the fight almost made up for it deus ex loli girl grants plot armour THANK GOD something finally happened we're going to central city interested to see what Kirito and blonde Kirito will find on their adventures though |
| the animation continues to be very nice in action scenes! It was very obvious that eugeo wouldn't die. I didn't expect them to take down the demon tree though! Overall nice episode |
| Damn, this was fulfilling and intense episode! Production Value for this show is remarkable and I really hope they keep this up throughout the four cours of the show! Action Choreography was phenomenal and with the assist of those glorious soundtracks made the action scenes even more epic! Great stuff! Kirito regaining his overpowered form during the fight was amusing to see despite being a little too convenient and whatnot. Eugeo really pulled off a great turnaround from his scaredy-cat side and that was great to see, although the end results for him wasn’t too merry-way. Selka and Kirito sharing their life(points?) with Eugeo and the transition of the scene where they just fastforwarded a day or two felt odd but nothing too much of bother. Alice though, what was all that about? Looks like Eugeo has finally taken down the Gigas Cedar after taking lessons from Kirito of swordsmanship. It felt a little pacey then but at least it wasn’t dragged on to make a cliffhanger during the Gigas Cedar cutting scene. Eugeo wants to be become a swordman now, can’t say I wasn’t expecting that. Conversations between Kirito and Selka and Eugeo and Selka was nice. Finally, the two have stepped out of the village to head to the Central City, I was honestly expecting this to come after the first cour or so. I’m looking forward to seeing how their journey goes now! |

Meh, now I truly get the meaning of : "If you have money, you can do whatever you want". it's just killing GOBLINS in a TV series, and we already got movie level of quality in combat. Wish more great series got this type of budget too. (Sob) |
JudoJD said: OK no..after 3 decently to well written episodes.. I'm just halfway through the episode and I can't take it.. now Kirito's mastered that sword because reasons...lol... The whole episode has been so mega poorly written so far (understatement) it makes me wanna rip my eyes out..the pain Imagine thinking this anime had any chance of being decent this time...back to being trash again sigh (some people will probably think it's good because of that awful action sequence....sigh SAO...you were so close) Pure garbage Imagine not being able to brain. Kirito was able to use the sword, not mastered it at all. By killing the goblin boss, he and Eugeo leveled up. They are far from being a proper swordsman. You should just drop it and never come back if you can't understand something so simple. :D |
