| Name a more iconic duo... SAO and Cliffhangers! The action and fights were awesome once again! When they finally overpowered Alice, that wall of the tower breaks, making Kirito and Alice fall outside of the tower. I wonder what will happen now as Kirito already used his dagger and Eugeo is holding the second one! |
 |
| Funny how Kirito was willing to sacrifice that item for that female knight to revive her but not the first male knight. Pretty chivalrous of him. |
How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb --- Dr Strangelove  |
| Ichigo with his Getsuga Tenshou, Byakuya with Senbonzakura and Toshiro with Hyorinmaru. Finally Bleach anime is back. Joking aside, -Some glimpse of Kirito's PTSD in this episode. -Operator-chan story is pretty sad. -Alice has her STR stat maximum. And of course moar cliffhanger. |

| I loled when Fanatio was thrown to the roof instead of to the side. They cut out some stuff again - Especially Eugeo's speech to Fizel and Linel. Otherwise a decent episode. |
| Normally I defend SAO but come on man, that was the stupidest fucking waste of a valuable resource I've ever seen. I can't take this hamfisted drama seriously. I gots to save this woman because plot and drama. Good lord. Mother's Rosario has been the only good arc aside from Aincrad. Always thought Alicization got too much credit... |

Maybe if you pay attention you will realize that Kirito did not want to kill anyone if possible. The Integrity Knight is vital to defend against Dark Territory. These knights are innocent and only doing their job. Kirito sees them as human and not AI like people at RATH does, letting them die is no different to him than killing a human. Something that left him traumatize when he killed the Laughing Coffin member back in SAO. |

Oh I did pay attention, and I still think it's stupid. But I'm not going to bother getting into this with you since you're white knighting the series against anyone who complains about it and clearly bias towards the anime. Final note is that maybe not everyone agrees with you or Kirito's childish and shortsighted superhero logic. |

I love your signature and profile picture so much |

Apparently something you don't like is automatically stupid. I read the novel so naturally I know more. Thanks, made it myself. |

|
| Well, now we know how and why Kirito and Eugeo part ways. Now that Alice's perfect weapon control art was revealed, I can see all the resemblances to the swords in Bleach haha. |

| idc spoil me. Wtf happened in the end. Was it Quinella's doing? Is Elevator girl going to be someone important in the future? She felt like a pointless character. |
 |
Necromia said: nope, that was because the impact from kirito and alice's skill. about the elevator girl, she is not important and if im not mistaken there wont be any of her appearance again in the futureidc spoil me. Wtf happened in the end. Was it Quinella's doing? Is Elevator girl going to be someone important in the future? She felt like a pointless character. |

| this was intense! Can we just take a moment to appreciate just how visually pleasing this season is? Its flawless! Though I have to admit, I still like the original SAO and GGO more, the first was well the first, it introduced us to this whole world and the setting just cant be topped. While it had issues, it was enjoyable for me, interesting and I even liked the romance aspect. GGO had sinon which is a plus and Kirito was talking for the first time about how he felt essentially killing people. But Alicization so far seems like pure action. There was nearly no plot so far, or rather no plot I care about (like why would I care about NPCs? The only real human there is Kirito and I still doubt they would let him die for real) Seeing how his goal was to defeat the knights and then administrator, but we had like 2/3rds of the show left, made me already curious to what would happen, because no way its gonna just end like this. Seems I was right on that. Maybe now some sort of adventuring could start? Everybody was talking about how much better this will be, but so far I cant see it. Not that I dont like it, we barely had the beginning afterall, but Im just not invested in the story. |

| That episode remember me Bleach: Alice's weapon remembers Byakuya's Senbonzakura. Kirito's enhance Armaament remembers me Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshou. And Eugeo's Enhance aramament remembers me Rukia's Sode no Shirayuki. And I'm not even mad, because that was awesome (although I expected more intricate characteristics from Kirito's enhance armament) |
 |
| Hope good content comes for a reason to postpone the fight. |
 張大です for 張大勇督察 |
| Another good episode. Loved the fight scenes against Alice. She sure is strong. Kirito had a hard time fighting against her. |
 |
| Alice is sooo beautiful, and her seiyuu is doing such a good job! I wouldn't have guessed it's Ai Kayano's voice, but it fits Alice's personality really well. Her sword's superpower is pretty cool as well, and it's so nice to look at, gotta love the golden leaves (flowers?) :3 |
  |
| I loved how Alice manifested her sword. That's the kind of dramatic visual that I want to see from this series. Unfortunately the fight scenes continue to underwhelm with a cheap feel. Lots of visual tricks to make them feel more dynamic than they really are, clunky movement and so on. And what the hell was this cliffhanger? That came out of nowhere, and for no reason other than the author didn't know how to end the scene. deathbySNU-SNU said: the only one good is that fight vs goblin, i would say it was too smooth. but after that everything became crappy, how come the fight vs goblins is better than vs those knights? I agree, that sequence was hype. Everything afterwards has felt off. |

Mattinator95 said: Thats not the same. All the people in the matrix were plugged in, with their real bodies etc.Comander-07 said: they are though Only kirito is a human On what basis are they NPC . It's like saying all the people in the Matrix are NPC yet they are unware of what's actually happing and dosent know the world they are in is fake . Same goes for the underworld Residents they are nither programmed or controlled they act like any human would the only difference is they don't have free will due to the rules that where created . No, wrong, no. Thats like saying google assistant is a real human. Or a drawing is a real human. Because fuck logic. tuyetthan8x said: They arent human. Alice and every NPC in the programm arent human. And without a body. -_-They are human. Alice and everyone in underworld are human without body. -_- |

| oh no! plan not going according to plan! 4/5. |

Mattinator95 said: if its the talking part during the fights felt off , arnt they basically trying to get them to remember who they where Not what I meant. I was referring to the animation and choreography of the fights. |
| Finally it's time to see Alice! And she have a great power! |
 |
| the fight with Alice huh...finally but what was that in the end |
 |
I wasn't a fan of Alice constantly wearing such bulky armor, but MAN she completely changed my mind with this episode. She's absolutely gorgeous!  Nice to finally see her in action after all the blatant spoilers of her abilities in the games |
| Oh I didn't expected that to happen, so far the fights have been short and to the point, which I like, but now Kirito and Alice fall of the tower, I am really expectant to see what happens. Kirito is like a typical good boy, that wants to save everyone and is hurt when he can't so try everything to save em, and Eugeo, I don't know why he have as much rage for the Integrity Knights, given that he knows that they are practically forced to follow Administrator orders. Good episode. |
| I don't get it, what is that dark looking thing coming out of kirito's sword? |
          Galaxy's Dorkiest |
| -Wow hope that dagger use on Fanatio will pay dividends lol. Anticipating to see how she'll pay this back in the next part of the show. -Alice looks absolutely glorious in that armor wielding that sword. -Hmm they fell out of the tower and left Eugeo behind. Well this can't be good. -I really like the camerawork and musical score and chanting during the fight. They added an epic captivating quality to it. -Who was the first person to withstand Alice's sword? |
   |
| They’re doing a really good job in the BD version. This seems to be the BD version of Alice VS Kirito. |
 |
I feel bad for the elevating operator. Hmmm, Alice reminds me of Saber. She is too OP. That ending was unexpected. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| My Darkness can't be this cool. Man they sure love their cliffhangers. |
 |
| lol Saber is op asf |
| Based Certified. I love anime armpits. |
