When there is no enemies or rivals in SAO games turned into fantasy date game, you have to go GGO search for new ones

- Something like that.

Seeing Kirito and Asuna togheter again was sweet with the location they met at as well with tour guidance
It would have been another show if Kirito replied: "No way, I'm going to make a romcom with Asuna instead" after the "go get shot" comment to the offered job

What game is Gun Gale Online representing to todays available MMO?

The cross of Halo (swords OP), any MMO based on Star Wars, some Call of Duty and/or counterstrike with stats a la world of warcraft combined with a paintball where weapons actually weight and some Ghost Recon Phantoms in the sense that there are different "builds" (in GGO you have to train some stats and stuff while in Phantoms the three classes, assault, support and recon have different abilities, strenght, health and speed)
And some Warface since it is pay to win (even it has the xbox live part since you pay to play!)
Oh
Did I mention that you can feel like you´re there?

I'm not sure what I expected when I started watching this. Guns replace the swords, but the characters return. It looks interesting so far. It kind of feels like virtual reality Death Note with some guy able to kill people impossibly.

Uhm, am I the only one who think so or do Kirito and Asuna seem more couple-like in game than in reality? I read a post/complaint somewhere the author couldn't write character interaction well, and I see what he means now. At least this episode is better than the Extra Edition.

The ED sequence, omg the fighting, that looked cool. The song was meh, I prefer Crossing Field much more.

Well someone cut right to the chase lol. The beginning was alright. It pretty much picked up right where it left off of season one. Kirito and Asuna are especially cute and I agree with ToG25thBaam, that they seem more couple-like in game then out of game.

Sloooooow episode...
Don't tell me that ugly nerdy girl with the glasses in the ED is Shino in real life...
Also don't tell me Kirito now plays as a female character...

I can already see this being a trainwreck, and I wasn't one of the haters of the first one.

Des gun! Anyway it's high time that I watch this. More than a year ago, I watched and gave SAO a 10 but I think this will not be as good as that. SAO was one of the first anime shows I've seen I really loved it but I think my tastes have kinda changed since then. One thing is for sure though, this show will not disappoint me when it comes to action.

Nice trolling there for the English dub premiere, setting up Death Gun's voice actor as some "mystery reveal" beforehand and then crediting him as "???????" because naturally people would be anticipating the reveal in the credits.

Kirito's avatar looks like a girl. What's up, is he having a gender identity crises? If the animators were trying to go for a badboy long hair look they failed that one. Someone needs to tell the animators that there are better ways of doing it.
I like Hentai, you like real life.

Not much happened here, but not bad for a setup episode. "Deathgun" is such a silly name for a villain that I actually laughed. May as well be called "Evilman" or "Killgood" or something.

Despite it being a setup episode, Suguha was only mentioned in dialogue and I didn't spot her in the credits; only her Alfheim avatar, Leafa. Suguha was the only decent thing about the second half of SAO. Despite her storyline being horrible, she was a much more interesting and well-done character than she had any business being. Despite very obviously being created solely to be eye-candy, she actually felt like the most "real" character in the show. A strange dichotomy.

Either way, I'm hoping to see Suguha get something interesting to do here.

Pretty good episode, I wonder how Death Gun does it. I kinda don't know if that's an awesome name or a terrible one, it's borderline lol.

Kirito and Asuna were cute together <3 :3

Why did I read someone's spoiler on here? I saw it say spoiler but clicked it, damn lol.

Fantastic first episode. One problem with SAO was when the death game ended and switched to the lame fairy world. You can't really blame the anime for that unless there was way more material they could have adapted to stretch the first part. But SAO II bringing back at least the potential for real death is exactly what was needed for this series. I can't imagine it will be good as the absolute certainty of death in SAO, but it will be better than the certainty of life in SAO's latter half. Looking forward to seeing how this will develop.

Also, DAYUM, dat fanservice at the end. Nice.

Sooo here we go, the second season of the infamous SAO. I'm one of the (seemingly few) people who liked the first season enough to give it a 7/10, so I go into this with no hard feelings whatsoever. First episode was solid, albeit a bit boring.

If anything Kamiya Hiroshi got killed off really quick.

Still pretty interesting. Did Kirito have a sweet tooth? Cause I don't recall him being into sweets.

Also felt like he should have placed a Large takeaway order aswell.

It's been a couple years since I saw the original series but I just got around to starting the sequel now. Coming into this blind I wasn't sure what to expect but it was really cute to see Kirito and Asuna again, happy together in real life! Cool to see Kirito thinking of a future involving games. You think Asuna could be a little more open with the fact that she wants to be with him in the future though, it seemed unnatural how she redirected the convo to Yui.

Kirito is brave to even consider going into that gun game, if I was him I think I'd be done with games haha. We'll see where this goes!

Hmm it's 2025. the point and shoot digicams are still alive, Cony (S*ny, cough, cough) is still manufacturing them! In our present real life, smartphone cameras and action cameras are catching up to digicams and has started replacing them several years ago, the DSLR range and bridge cameras are another matter. It's 2017 now, let's see in another 8 years.

Maybe it was a fatal flaw exploited and an undetected hack or some of the admins are shady as hell.

If I had to describe the episode with two words, they would be corny and edgy.

Aside from that,this could get at least entertaining.
