| Good episode, love the conversations of Kirito and Sinon :) now they are understanding one and another even more :D |
 |
| That drama made me laugh, just like that explosion. Too much bullshit, please. :v Snow_Dust said: Booooring, just like the first episodes of this season -_- Needs a lot less talk and a little more action. Still liked it though. It was boring, but I liked it anyway. Wat? May drop it... or not. Pretty fun laughing at the nonsense lol. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| That horse was one creepy piece of machinery. I didn't really think about the age gap between Kirito and Sinon. Kirito just looks so blasted young. |

| God why are so many people bashing/hating on this anime? I think it's a good thing they're focussing more on the psychological side of SAO/Sinon's past, something I missed in the first season rather than dismiss it as "boring" and "predictable". Kirito and Sinon both killed someone and have to deal with the consequences of their actions, it's not something they can just shrugg off and continue to hunt down the very person that triggers those memories/emotions. Though I admit the action is a little chopped up or lacking at some points I prefer this to having non stop gun fights without any explanation or background information. Just stop whining already, it seems like no matter what SAO does, it'll never be good enough -_- |

For some reason, in my mind, I thought Kirito was in his twenties or something. Oops. |
| Literally half of the episode was just Sinon whining like a weakling. Boy did her character really drop in quality this episode. A little bit of a disappointment after such a great episode. I will say they did an amazing job with the animation right here  |

| Oh god cant remember how many times I cringed in this episode. Im a little late at watching. Its all so poorly executed, Sinon's rescue, her trauma, her ranting to kirito, and most importantly Kirito revealing his past trauma, its all so badly done! I'm trying really hard to like this anime, please give me a reason so love it come on. |
| How do I signature? |
| I cringed multiple times during this episode. This level of writing is something I'd expect from a 12 year old's self-insert fanfic, not a light novel written by a grown man. |
| Of course, Kirito saves Sinon. They finally confess their traumas to each other. |
 |
| Lol dat horse>bike, anime logic. Nice talk at the cave, Sinon looked so sad there. Not much happened. |

| Interesting episode. I wish I had a robotic horse like that. |

So how is Kirito supposed to explain to Asuna about letting Sinon lay on his crotch? Lmao |
| I liked this episode because Death Gun riding a horse. but yeah we get to see Kirito killing LC members and Sinon killing the bank robber... again. Gundam SEED made me used to flashbacks but I hope we won't see those scenes again |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| Ah above average episode I guess. I did like Sinon scenes but most of it felt repetitive. |
 |
| an people call this bitch a badass? shes just another dumbass in distress the drama in this series is as laughable as it was in season 1, hope they tone this shit down, most annoying ep of this second season so far |
 |
| I loved the drama in this episode. I also really like how the two main characters interact. So far we've seen everything from sexual tension to sweet comforting, to having fun, to passionate display of emotions. He'll still end up with Asuka, but I enjoy these flirtatious moments regardless of the outcome anyway. |
| Now I know that people get ostracized for successful self-defense attempt. Only in Japan. Poor Shinon.... |

| Death Gun is a total badass of an antagonist this episode, pasts are revealed, and everything is awesome |
 |

 |
| sinon turns out to be weak like the others, big surprise there harem gets bigger |
 |
| UGH....JUST UGH.... Even when I WANT to like this anime, it does things like this episode that absolutely prevent me from doing so. Seriously....UGH!!!!! |
| This was a great episode I haven't enjoyed from this anime for a long time. This arc supasses the lat one if nothing else. |
  |
| Thought this would happen, quite a nice portion of drama though but other than that it was a bit slow, let's see what's next! |
 |
| Fantastic episode! SAO II got me into that stage that leaves me speechless, I can't even comment after the episode and I have to know immediately what happens next. I love this feeling! |
 |
| Ah I really wish the author hadn't jumped the gun on the romance with Asuna. If he'd have waited he could have seen that Kirito and Sinon have much better chemistry together. Maybe Asuna can die off at some point in the future of the series? Really, what has she actually done for it so far? |
| 2 confessions, background info, and characterizations from the players. Great job. Dump Asuna or cheat on her, f*ck that rich waifu. Well maybe I'm jst caught up in all of the emotions for Sinon. |
| YES! THE HAREM HAS GROWN EVEN BIGGER! :D On a side note, fuck this shit. I'm more entertained watching my toilet flush. It has more depth than this. |
| Oh yes.. I hate you so let me lean against you and embrace me. XD Too bad they never show the fight with the other cool beauty. So much drama. |
Grimlokk said: Told each other's trauma story, bonding over traumas, licking each other's wounds......Moving on. Edit: And exposition, and she did not die (obviously). Pretty much. Sinon crying her eyes out was not necessary imo Still liking the show though, has a nice pace :) |
 |
| Too much drama imo. |
| Man, I hate this fucking drama. I don't know if this is in the LN but this is dragging this arc for waaay too long. I knew this isn't going to be as good as SAO. There's no way this is gonna get a 10 from me now thanks to this slow-ass episode. |
 |
| As expected Kirito saved Sinon. Rest of the episode was them sharing their pasts, slowly growing closer. Wonder how Asuna feels about that. :D |
| Lol @ the cry me a river comment. I thought when they showed Death Gun in the explosion it reminded me of my two favourite Bon Jovi songs - 'Wanted Dead or Alive' because "'Cause I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride" line (because he really was) and they did wanna kill him I guess. Also 'Blaze of Glory' because of the fire and it looked like "I'm going down in a blaze of glory" but he didn't. This season seems to have a few pop culture references so I wouldn't be surprised if that was one of them lol. Awww, Kirito and Sinon both told each other how they killed a person and looked like a couple whilst doing so. Very cute. Not the killing part, the couple part obviously. Now I'm kinda wanting them to get together. We never see Asuna any more hardly. I agree, Sinon seemed like one badass female in the beginning and now she seems kinda lame. |
 |
| The ship. |
| Sinon is so weak... not even physically, but in her mind. |
| Pretty good, got kind of heavy on the drama at the end but I can see why it had to take a slowish turn. What were the odds of Death Gun using the same gun that Sinon did irl? Jeez. At least they finally told each other about past trauma, good for bonding/trust. Should be interesting to see how they approach taking out Death Gun now. |
| Kirito was able to save her, she was so shocked with the gun, it's really a trauma for her... |
 |
| soft. they can't log out until the tournament is over? what if it spans days? They going to be logged into a game for days? Seems kinda stupid. EDIT: nvm after watching ep 12 - BoB took 2 hours last time and this one about same time. |

| Ah I wish I get to see more of that girl Musketeer X It was good episode. |
 |
| I don't know why they didn't show that flashback in season 1 when it was supposed to have taken place. |
 |
| Kirito-kun... you sweet, but don't let other girls touch you except for Asuna-chan >.< heads in lap is a no-no zone D: I would be super pissed if my boyfriend let another girl lay on him |
| Kirito got PTSD to pick up chicks in caves. Only you can make that possible Kirito, only you. i have really disliked the PTSD trait ever since it was established, since it took them a new season to introduce it. i mean he basically got it so that he could make a connection with Sinon that was, you know, DEEEP and so that we realize he UNDERSTANDS what she's going through and so her falling for him won't be shallow. Which makes sense (a little) but that doesn't excuse the fact that the author gave him PTSD for his actions in first arc, in the third one. Or the fact that she has had no psychiatrists for the last five years. |
