| Incredible episode as always . I would give this series 11/10 if possible . |
 |
| Im with Kokoro Connect > SAO ANIME side!! |
| Not a bad episode I guess, I'm glad next episode is not, "warmth of the heart" or whatever it's called. Why? Because I hate Lizbitch... I mean Lizbeth, the overdramatic girl that trying to be so dramatic in a very undramatic situation. A very annoying self conscious girl that is trying to be dramatic about her |
| This time was very good ep . |

Jimqi said: It seems like the power grows exponentially with the levels, especially for a solo front-line player.In retrospect SAO as a game is completely unbalanced. Someone 30ish levels higher shouldn't be able to heal tank 6 people with a .4% regen rate. Anyway, the OST of SAO is a must. Yuki's making an epic job to be honest... |
-MgZ_ said: Im with Kokoro Connect > SAO ANIME side!! silly people, why don't u guys just enjoy 2 show at the same time? Kokoro and SAO both are my top fav this season, I wouldn't be bothered try to compare which one is better. Just enjoy the show goddamn it. |
| Nice ep.! 5/5 |

In most MMOs lv makes a huge difference in stats/hp. Tanking a group of people 30lvs lower than you should be nothing. |
| anyone feel that Silica is Kirito's cousin in real life?? or it was just me? |

Couldn't have said it better and, also in sword art online information is key the way you assign and, build you skills is just as important you could go ranking your defence for weeks and, become untouchable according to the LN you rank skills by using them. It's safe to say kirito who is a solo player stresses defence before offence. |
JohnnySan said: anyone feel that Silica is Kirito's cousin in real life?? or it was just me? Don't forget about the "mirror" in episode 1 that reflects the real person body weigh , height , face if it was her he would have known right away not to mention in episode 1 they said she hated MMOs |
| Kirito has entered Floor 47! A wild Loli appears! Loli uses cry of vulnerability It's super effective!! Jokes aside this wasn't much of an interesting episode to me. Felt like plain loli fan service :( At least I know Kirito is still a badass (even though they skipped about 30 levels ahead). Looking forward to this next episode. |
| i kinda wonder what the level difference is between those 2 if kirito is that stong that he can tank 7 people without getting damage. |

Jimqi said: In retrospect SAO as a game is completely unbalanced. Someone 30ish levels higher shouldn't be able to heal tank 6 people with a .4% regen rate. as your level gets higher, it gets more and more difficult and longer to level up, the only reason why kirito reached such a high level is because he is using the dangerous method of soling the front-lines, this way he fights the highest leveled monsters while gaining all the xp without it sharing as it usually would when you are in a party, however as good as this may sound, it puts severe risks towards your life, multiple mobs can gang up and overwhelm you and if you are hit by paralysis effect your pretty much screwed if you dont have anyone to lift your paralysis, you would just be beaten down monsters while being unable to move, so although it may seem unfair that kirito is at such an overwhelming level, you have to remember that he only reached this level through lots of hardships, so its fair in that kind of sense also kirito's "battle healing" is an ability that can only be leveled up when you sustain damage, for him to have such a high level in it is proof that he must of sustained loads of damage in the past and battled alot with his life on the line |

MidnightPride said: It's safe to say kirito who is a solo player stresses defence before offence. isn't it the other way round? kirito focused mainly on strength and mobility when fighting, which is why he doesn't carry a shield and only wears a black overcoat for armor, its so that he isn't weighed down by the shield + heavy armor, it could even be said that kirito fights in a way that has no regard for his life whatsoever |

If he focused on mobility then, he would be like asuna in speed. You are right about the armor but, it's true for anyone who wants to play solo. He doesn't really play crazy but, simply playing the game is playing with your life and, playing solo even more so but, he has lots of potions and, any-time warp to ensure he will remain safe. |
| Scilica is was really cute throughout the episode. Funny how she almost opened the door without her clothes on. Kirito is total badassery. That part where he said "1 or 2 days of being an orange player doesnt mean much to me" gave me chills. We should be able to see more of Asuna next episode. Fyeah xD On a side note, can't wait for the OST of this anime. Will be good stuff. |

Axe-users such as Agil would opt for strength, while rapier-users like Asuna would focus on their dexterity. Although I was a normal sword user and raised both of them, my personal preferences prioritized dexterity somewhat more than strength" quoted directly from the LN itself also that part about kirito's crazy fighting style is shown in |
|
| Man Kirito is so OP right now! I wonder who his first real challenge will end up being. And where's Asuna? I'm still waiting for the main cast of characters to finally get together in this series. Should be awesome when they all finally do come together. |

Well Silica was lvl45 in this episode so the others must be around that. Kiriko is lvl78, so yea against them hes invincible. Whats the max lvl in this game anyway? |
 |
| I loved this episode. Nothing more to say. 5/5 |

| Awesome episode. Looking forward to the next 20+ episodes to be honest :) 5/5 |

Fyeah xD On a side note, can't wait for the OST of this anime. Will be good stuff. i couldn't agree more, i was cringing when silica was about to open the door while being half naked and was thinking "awww not this shit again" especially when it would of been contradictory to what she was doing when she was hiding her panties when kirito almost saw them i just loved the way kirito flash stepped in front of rosalia with a blade at her throat, i was laughing when i saw his spurs spinning, it was just badass and suited the scene so well, i thought they would animate the part where kirito throws rosalia into the middle of the thugs and threatens to kill them if they don't obey but that would of been over the top im looking forward to when the OST is released, ive already downloaded the opening theme although its only tv size.... |

| This was a great episode, but when will we see Asuna and the rest of the people in episode 2? |
 |
| Well, ep was ok. After the last ep, I was expecting something to go wrong all the time, but nothing happened^^ Still, I totally don't like the episodic format the series has taken. The first two eps were really interesting and exciting to follow, but now it's just some "Short stories from SOA"... I want a continuous plotline! :-( |
| I don't know what to say....since this anime is so awesome & this episode was as touching as the previous one. |

I want a continuous plotline! :-( your gonna need to bear with it for now, its still in its introductory stage at the moment but the main plot will pick up at around ep.6/7, thatswhere it gets interesting |
|
| I did like this epi way more than the last mainly cause he wasn't emo. He almsot went that way but Silica stopped it xD I just now want it to go to a plot driven story instead of side stories. And rly in 4 epis he went from nothing to lvl 78 /o\ Kind of ridiculous but I still have hope that once the story picks up, it might be good! |
   |
| I understand that the epis 3 and 4 are actually side stories. Is epi 2 a side story or is it chapter 2? Is the next episode 5 chapter 3? I'm actually trying to read the LN side story chapters after watching the episodes 2 and 3, which i understand as being 'rushed' but i find it's sufficient for me since the anime episodes act like a quick summary for when i'm reading the LN, allowing me to enjoy the LN much more since i can kind of visualize the characters hahaa |
| Great episode, but I'm kind of sick of side stories already. I want to see original story. But still, 5/5. |
| Enough with side stories, give us the main plot episodes.... But episode it self is pretty good.... 3.5/5 |

I don't understand why are they doing it in chronological order. There's a lot of demerits in it. The broadcast of Haruhi wasn't in chronological order but people still understood and liked it. I bet we get to see a flat-out Fate/Zero popularity if they just followed the SAO novel correctly. |

| already read other people's comment about the skipping etc. so enough of that for me xD But this one is another good episode though and Kirito s definitely a change from all the series ive watched which mostly had weakling main characters (perfect example -> accel world lol) which over time gets annoying. Bad ass Kirito ftw ;D! really just hoping itll be 20+ episodes for this good series :/ |
オール・イズ・バニッティー  |
| ^ accel world, aquarion evol, guilty crown, highschool dxd, campione! ( maybe), etc. MC in lots of show recently ( actually since 2010) make me want to puke ==". Its hard to find a normal, common sensed mc in anime nowadays, enough with the pervert, autism, half-hearted, indecisive mc already. |
| A decent episode? Who would've thought. Maybe this show decided to develop Kirito after all. Hopefully there's more of this coming, I can see myself liking this show, but not as it was before. |
| Another great episode! =D lol @ silico's face in entire episode =) |
| I'm not regretting that i try watching this anime!! It's the best summer anime 2012!! Kirito is cute! |
  |
| great episode! |
| I forgot to ask this, but if you have sex in SAO then do you cum your pants irl? |
 |
| The new girl is cute :3 ...but tentacles... D: |

Haru makes watching that show like watching NTR. |
