Well that was fairly predictable. The guy with the death gun stands out so much I dunno how you can not find him.

Sinon takes her shit seriously, don't make me slap you Kirito.
I don't approve of adding Sinon in the "girls in love with Kirito" list, seriously no. I don't want that.

This was awesome. Sinon vs Kirito. But hidden secrets about SAO was revealed that we haven't known before. Especially about Kirito killing more than just that one guy. Oh boy. Anyways. Hopefully things will get cleared up soon. But dang the way Kirito was holding Sinon. T'was pretty badass. 5/5.

Awesome episode! Really enjoyed this one. We got to see some SAO back flash, i was disappointed Sinon lost her shit against Kirito though, i was really looking forward to the two of them going head to head rather than the two of them both just losing their edge. But even so i think it was a really good episode, can't wait for next weekend!

Finally a fucking good view of Kirito's psychological state as it is portrayed in the Light Novel with his low self-esteem and all other psychological problems that he had or gained during the SAO acts. Amen.


yeah, before this episode the anime keep showin kirito as a Man that have super social skill, super pride, super clever, super anything.

Now finally in this episode we able to see his "human-side" and his low self esteem. Although it was blown away again when he destroy green-hair-girl in mental war. he realy a natural play boy.

but i like this much more than Tokyo Ghoul where the MC just completely hae low self esteem and spineless etc etc /oot

Kirito just keeps on surprising me, I mean who else could cut a high speed sniper rifle bullet in half, and know it's exact trajectory?!
I liked the SAO flashback with the attack on Laughing Coffin, got to see a bit of Asuna which was nice and helps us remember who his actual girlfriend is!
Is this death gun person someone that has been in the anime before or is he a completely new person?
Hopefully Sinon will up her game when she goes against Kirito again, I really want to see her be as awesome as him

Kirito loses his cool early in the episode with a combination of fear and guilt then he dodges bullets by doing nothing, splits a bullet at point blank range, and does this move on a girl. This guys is sooooo smooth.

Really?! That's awesome. I wouldn't mind having asuna be the MC for the second half of season two if they choose to go that arc. She needs all the screen time she can get.

God I loved that flashback, they have so much room to do those too. There were a total of two years of SAO that they went through in season 1 in about 12 episodes, the amount of flashbacks and/or OVAs they could do with that are limitless.

Point being, I'm loving the reiteration from SAO and knowing it's still a big part of gaming history in the universe for both history itself and the players reaction to it.

I couldn't stop laughing at how boring, cliché and genric that episode felt. I kept laughing throughout it .. Sigh I feel so bad. Nothing to comment about really, pacing felt worse than the other five episodes.. Simon is a tsundere..

The character cast is shit.. I'm only interested in death gun and

This was a pretty cringe worthy episode, Kirito acting like a bitch annoys me. I don't even remember Kirito being scared of anyone in season 1. I did like the ending part though. 3/5 episode this week.

I assume the other matches were skimmed through in the light novel as well, right?

Anyway, The fight with Sinon was quite mediocre and although I liked the flashback, I wish it was longer and showed more. Hopefully now that the qualifiers are over, the next battles will be more interesting and won't just feature Kirito slashing through bullets.
Still, overall it was an enjoyable episode.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

Nice episode, good resonance between Kirito and Shion: Kirito is forced to remember when he killed two or three other people (which if people are wondering why Kirito keeps his SAO identity secret, remember he is a multiple murderer no matter how justified he was in doing it, and people have friends).
pretty much an obvious case of self defense, with multiple witnesses.
He committed killing, not murder. Hes not a murderer.

All OPness of Kirito aside, I liked this episode a lot because we got better development of Kirito than we've ever had in all of first season combined. His post-traumatic stress is something that felt quite real, and I like that they made the connection with Shion because she, too, faces similar problems.
I liked this because Kirito has been so bland but it felt shoe horned in and I wished they showed all of this in the first season then it would have been more relevant.

Good to see more development for Kirito - forced to remember his time back in SAO when he killed 3 people..
And that he's just like Sinon.

I don't even understand why the hell is he traumatized... I know it is because he killed people but what? It was inside the game, they were playing it then they have to deal with the consequences of being noob (aka dying). He really is mentally weak even being badass... I wouldn't care if I killed someone inside a game, that's why it is called a game, if you play it then or you win or you lose, easy. As Kaneki Ken-sama says: «In this world, the strong devour the weak.»

"Why do I want to win over him so much?" Shino, bitch please, are you dumb? No one in this world likes to lose, no one.

I'm imagining Shino's reaction when she discovers that Kirito has actually played SAO xD It is going to be epic *-*

Awesome episode 10/10.

Seriously? This is great news bro, thanks! Although I don't think Asuna's arc will be better since she isn't as badass as Kirito :/ But I bet it will have a awesome story so I'm looking forward to watch it.
