| Given the pacing, how could it possibly end? I'm guessing Kirito gets a glimpse of Asuna -- cliffhanger ending. |

Honestly Yes, by the pacing itself A cliffhanger of Asuna is makes more sense. This is because they can't possibly insert the very ending of ALO and the epilogue itself into 5 more episodes. |

| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |
| So that's where the budget of the current arc went. the fight animation in this episode reminded me of the boss fight in episode 2. Only, you know, better. |

| It's annoying because I feel like we're being sucked into an alternate storyline when what I really care about is Kirito finding Asuna. Obviously I know this is the end goal of all the stuff that's happening for Kirito but it seems like he's becoming too distracted and dilly-dallying too much among all these other issues. And Leefa pisses me off. But this doesn't stop me anticipating episode 21. |
curiouser and curiouser :) |
| GOGO KIRITO DUAL WIELD FTWW :DDDD <3 |
 |
| Came for epic battle gifs, stayed for dat ass. |
| I actually liked this episode. There was no Sugou, Asuna had less air-time(to the point that she's now just a side chara), Leafa just get friend-zoned, and Kirito being the airhead gigolo that he is, just upped his harem by 2. Sugou might be NTR'n Kirito, but Kirito be NTR'n every other guys wives anyways so wonder who's winnin' |
| ..this space under construction... |
| SAO is going to end soon. *Patiently waits for second season (GGO & other Arcs)* :D |
| Lol kirito called Leafa(Suguha) not so girly,I think he is forgetting SOMETHING! |

| The fight scene was great and very well animated. Very great episode compared to last week's terrible episode. |

Takuan_Soho said: This episodes encapsulates everything I have disliked about this animation adaptation. First, the animation has taken away all the humor from the light novels (the Salamander response to Kirito's victory, Kagemune's role). Second, once again its gets the emotions wrong (Lyfa's all too casual landing and talking to Fairy Leader, Kirito's response to Eugene (he doesn't get mad, he maintains dry wit through the battle), the Cat Sith and Fairy leaders reaction to the battle, they are extremely cool customers, not cheerleaders). Third, the drawings are flat (this should have been a splurge episode, but a lot of the scenes looked extremely two dimensional). Third, part two, the face's lack of emotions is really evident this episode. It is like they only have 2 or 3 stock expressions: Neutral, mad, and other. Fourth, the writing sucks, the dialog is taken directly from the novel without even attempting to translate the descriptions which would make it easier for people who haven't read the LN (the whole Undine-Spriggan alliance bit - if one hadn't read the LN, would anyone understand why everyone reacted as they did?) I understand about budgets and whatnot, but one can tell when the animating team cares and when they really don't, and it is all too obvious that the SAO adapters don't care about the animation, they just showed up to work. This is what is ultimately so disappointing about this animation. Yep! Totally agree! Do A-1 really care about the animation?! It seems not especially after watching the latest episode of Shinsekai Yori. |
| This possibly has been the BEST episode of this arc so far. Seriously, perfect episode is perfect. - Fight was brilliant and I loved the callback to the dualwield stuff. - The comedy was well executed and not too over-the-top. 5/5 |

-MgZ_ said: Yep! Totally agree! Do A-1 really care about the animation?! It seems not especially after watching the latest episode of Shinsekai Yori. Yes, they care. They're doing great with Magi and Space Brothers, so maybe Budget limitation, and Shinsekai got the worst of it? They also did great with previous titles like Idolmaster, Working and Ano hana. |

What have they added so far? The fan service. More girls = more fanservice. Thus better chance they'll have a final appearance? Even Klein is part of Kirito's harem. |
JavierR said: ^ It hurt me to read that last sentence. How so? Did it feel spoilerish? If so, then don't worry because I have no idea what I'm talking about as I never finished the ALO arc in the novels because I didn't like it. |

You are right. They are doing great with Magi but Space Brother's animation quality is not good as before. I notice some bad frames here and there. But why do they let the animation quality drop? They shouldn't have taken multiple projects in the first place if they can't handle it. They are adapting really famous Manga and Novels so they should at least take responsibility for it. |

| Space Bro's was always pretty a pretty low budget production though. It's a show that doesn't need fancy animation. Shinsekai Yori and SAO do. Shinsekai Yori in particular is really suffering from the lack of a proper budget. SAO's fight scenes are pretty terrible, but that's the least of it's problems. They shouldn't take on so many shows if they can't handle it. |

| C kaimax said: lindsayzzz said: Haru's pig avatar in the end illustration card?!! Too awesome. We definitely need an AW x SAO crossover OVA or something. There's a spin-off Cross Over Side Story where Silver Crow Fights Kirito from when he was in SAO in Roppongi The Chapter is called "Versus". Considering the success of both animes (not so much for AW because of prejudice, immature, imbecile and ignormuses, who hate the fat MC), there could be a SAOxAW crossover. However, we won't know for sure because even though there was a chapter of Fairy Tail x Rave, they never had an adaption. Though, it'll be freaking awesome if they did. |
| Dat Fanservice! Average episode, liked the fights but still this anime is not convincing me, and we're almost at the end. |
| The episode was great fun to watch, but sure, it had some things to complain about if I have to look for them. Luckily I dont. |
 |
| Decent episode, the fight was awesome. |
 |
| Starburst Stream V2 Oh man, i have wait for this : ) nice ep ^^ hyyyyaaaaaa i can't calm myself, kirito must find a way quickly to find asuna >.< ! |
 ssf4ae (pc) : misterCybou sc2 : CybE // 665 |
| kirito was fcking EPIC busting out the dual wield, really fucked that eugene guy up! :D and then getting all the bitches after xDDD asuna finally making her getaway, too, which is sweet |
 <img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2mw85l2.jpg" /> |
| The fight was fucking cool |
 |
| So cool :) and Asuna is back |
| The fight was kinda underwhelming, since we all knew Kirito's going to win anyways. Good episode overall. |
 |
| Nice fight, I guess Kirito kept his skills from SAO Go Go Asuna! |
| Every girl likes Jesus. Period. Well, finally the main plot is gonna start now.. |
| Best episode of the 2nd half. Kirito is bad-ass, Asuna is taking matters in her own hands, Leafa finally figured out that Kirito is THE Kirito (WTF took her so long?), and the endgame of the thread is near! |
Now blogging at TheZenOf Mysterious Girlfriend X Anime Fan Club - It's about more than drool! Tari Tari Fan Club - Hyouka Fan Club - Chitanda Eru Fans Club~ |
| I just can't stand Kirito's face when he fights but the fight was pretty good, wish we would see some more. And don't forget that fan service, Dat Ass Online comes to mind. |
