| Something seemed really off in this episode... like... really off. Pretty ridiculous about how Kirito was saved by that tiny heart monitor device thingy. The animation this episode seemed kind of weird, everything just feels weird when Shinon meets everyone. Was a bit confusing when that one b*tch girl had the gun, then Shinon freaken scared them by shooting it. Now if it was a real gun, hell yeah they would be scared, but a bb? Really? But again, I could be asking too much. |

| Nice heart warming episode :) they sure wasted no time in the explanations :D |
 |
| For a moment, I thought that the womand that enter the cafe was Sinnon's mother. |
| This was by far my least favourite arc. I really had to force myself to keep watching at times. But now it's time for the stuff I've been waiting for... |
| Lmao people say GGO is better than SAO/ALO? At the very least I liked Kirito in SAO/ALO, here Kirito is just staring at dem asses acting like a playboy 'I don't hit women'. I pretty much couldn't bear the whole thing aside from a few scenes, and those were only good because of the soundtracks. That villain.. my freakin God would've been better to keep his real identity a mystery, he was (they were) much more scarier than he is now, lmao "Asada-sannnnnn" x 321. He should have injected that shit much earlier lol. He could have also raped "Asada-sannnnnn" when she was still in game, too bad eh, medical student. Edit: One of the things I dislike about GGO is, almost the whole time, they are in that BoB tournament, and that tournament is.. well.. boring. |

| ......welcome to the harem, Shinon |
   |
| The syringe landed in the PRECISE location of that thing.... MY FUCKING ASS!!! Here's our massive HAX moment for this season folks, once again our MC is literally indestructible and has the best luck in the fucking world. A fucking comet could be headed to earth and all humans could be wiped out, but you can sure as hell bet Kirito would walk away without a fucking scratch. I know this wasn't the main thing about this episode, but GODDAMN, it's so fucking ridiculous, this show continues to do these things and just expect everyone to gloss over it. The rest of the episode was fine, and at the very least it looks like Shinon's character development is something this show finally DID get right. |
| lol desu gun, what a shitty villain he was, an people told that he was going to be different from previous laughable enemies that we met on season 1 yeah the syringe deal was extremely convenient but at this point im not surprised anymore the conversation that followed, ugh i guess that desu gun is one of those the more i know, the less i care type of villains... well theres desu gun number 3 on the loose but to be honest i just dont care with that outta the way dumbass in distress officially joins the harem |
 |
| them feels T-T |
 |
| Its finally done and over.... |
| I think they got something wrong. That black thing wasn't an electrode. It was plot armor. I've never laughed so hard |

| Oh boy that ending was touching! Quite lovely I must say and well a good resolve to all of this! Let's see what the small recap has to offer! and then continue with the story! |
 |
| Kirito rescues Asada. Shinkawa injects him, but good thing the electrodes in Kirito's chest saves him from death. Then Asada smashes Shinkawa's head by a radio. I'm glad she shows herself to the bullies how she's not affected to the gun anymore, although at first she's shocked. Kirito and friends help Asada to heal herself by searching for a girl who was saved by her during the hostage crime scene. That's a nice drawing from a little child. I hope someday, Asada will fully forgive herself and overcome about her terrible past. deanzel said: Also, I'm sure that this was Asuna's true reaction to Kirito's introduction of her to Sinon as just a "friend":  ^This. |
 |
| A certain someone survived a nuclear reactor explosion. That silly syringe thing? No big deal. |
| "Let me introduce you to my friends from SAO." Kirito then points to Asuna... LOL! Friended! xD Sinon stands up for herself, nice! But it got quite a bit cheesy, with the little girl and her drawing... 3.5/5 |
| This episode pretty much shits on any sort of realistic vibe Kirito and Asuna's relationship/whatever had. He refers to her as a friend. A FRIEND. They even got fucking married and adopted a kid a while back... This is just retarded to be honest. If you call your supposedly girlfriend/wife/partner a friend in front of others, you're simply an asshole. That's who you are Kirito, an asshole. Good job! Funny how Asuna didn't even react in that scene. Most likely because if she had, it would have been very uncomfortable for Kirito. We can't have our white knight experience an awkward situation at the end of the arc now can we. We must make sure the harem circus keeps spinning!!!!! PRIORITIES!!!! Sinon wants to go back and met the guy who just a second ago tried to kill and rape her, in that order. So realistic... Kirito survives because a nurse forgets to remove a plastic piece attached to his chest... A fucking needle couldn't pierce through that thin layer of plastic... Fuck you and your plot armor. Why did Kirito go to Sinon's place in the first place? She specifically told him NOT TO. It doesn't make any sense other than to further show us how "awesome" Kirito is when he saves the damsel in distress (which at this point have happened just about 10 trillion times)... Fun! Bullies actually tried pulling the trigger. Bitch actually tried to kill Sinon at that point. Funny how Sinon afterwards just hands over the weapon as if it never had happened. And really, a bucket with a can just happened to be there? Plot convenience at its best. Funny how no one noticed that the bully pulled a gun. Japan who is so restrictive with its guns, and no one notices that a teenage girl draws a weapon in the middle of the day at a crowded place. Sure. LOL. The two brothers really have no reason to kill that Zexzen guy whatever his name was. They were essentially angry that he gave them a tip in the game that didn't stay true. What the fuck you blind sheep don't you do any research on your own? And you get so pissed off that you actually want to kill the guy for it? This seems so realistic doesn't it. Aaaaaaand the main villain is a rapist. Haven't seen that one before now have we. Does the writer of this shit have a thing for rape or something like that? Or is he just trying his hardest to create a dislikeable villain so Kirito appears as even more of a saint than ever. Geez. SO ORIGINAL!=!=! In all honesty this arc was probably one of the worst I have ever seen. Calling it shit would be an understatement. |
| I'm honestly surprised those bully girls didn't remove wigs to reveal that they were actually guys, and then try to rape her. |
 |
| I never expected feels from SAO. |
| added the fourth most popular anime onto this site |
| Well that wrap things up. The only thing that surprises me is duration for this arc. I initially thought this was suppose to be fast paced. Who knew they'd drag on so much. They had the budget anyway so why not. Also it's still not a bad adaption from the LN considering many other failures. The syringe landing on that spot was a bit over the top lol. There just had to be one electrode left there. XD It's a nice way to end the arc.. though I wasn't particularly touched hehe. |
| Wow I actually laughed when it was revealed that the syringe hit the electrode. That's just ridiculous. And just what was going on with Kirito acting like he was dying even though he didn't actually get injected with anything? It was good to see Sinon be the one to take out Kyouji and to see her show her growth against the bullies by standing up against them. I still think stopping Kyouji by herself would have made a stronger statement though. The motives of the Shinkawa brothers were just pathetic. For people who have shown ability to do research and gather information (on their victims), why would they just listen to and base everything off of what one player says? Stupid, but at least it fits their profile of being sad and pathetic idiots. It would have been nice to see a more noteworthy motive though. As expected, he ends up taking her to join the harem hangout at the cafe and meet with the others. Interesting how Kirito doesn't mention that Asuna is his girlfriend. I really liked how they made Sinon meet one of the survivors from the post office incident. The experiences pertaining to her inner struggle culminate into that scene where she finds the resolution that she had been looking for. To be wrought with guilt over taking a life for years and having said guilt affect her self-esteem, and then to finally understand and see in front of her eyes the life that she enabled to continue on living which in turn allowed another to be granted life, through them she will finally have the will to save herself. Overall, the arc was decent enough. The action was good, though there wasn't much to the actual plot itself as the arc mainly focused on the characters. The characters could have shown more/better development though. I feel that much of the time that was spent repeating and brooding over their struggles could have been used to show more incremental progression in their mentalities. While we see that Sinon's struggle has consequences/symptoms that affect her life in some aspect, Kirito's struggle doesn't really seem to have a drastic effect on any of his actions to any notable degree. Though, it does cause him to suffer internally and it was good to see that he did have a weakness to balance his OP skills. It was also good to see how Kirito and Sinon both had the same struggles, but it would have been nice to see Sinon help Kirito as much as he helped her. I liked how Death Gun was part of Laughing Coffin and was an SAO survivor like Kirito. Combined with the mystery that surrounded him, he was a mildly interesting character until his real life identity was revealed, at which point he became insufferable and the scene itself was more cringe-worthy than suspenseful. The arc finishes at a 7/10 for me. I should get around to reading the LN's sometime since I hear how much these adaptations aren't really doing them much justice. |
   |
| Wow I really enjoyed that arc, It was a lot better then I expected it to be and the whole 'Death Gun' concept was really good in my opinion. |
| Now Sinon can realize she actually saved people aswell, and not just killed a man. Touching episode. |
 |
| Sweet episode. That little girl was so cute. :) |
| This arc was fun, not too sure about the next one. |
| Phew, it was a lot better than I anticipated. Hopefully next arc is gonna be better though. |
  |
| Is this the conclusion to this arc? That ended rather abruptly. I just want Sinon to know that Kirito's got Asuna already so she can back the hell off. I never saw this as a harem show nor I think I ever will even though I'm a harem fan. Ecchi and harem? best combination ever. But not this show. I want an O to the T to the fucking P dammit! |
 |
| Is there written in the LN about Sinon Visits kyouji at the hospital??? Becasue she said "I'll visit him." Shit that feels.... And also I like Sinon's smile...She so Cute..... |

| Such a sweet final scene there for Sinon as we wrap up GGO. Overall this arc was...okay. I'm not much of a gun enthusiast, and prefer Asuna over Sinon. Hoping I enjoy what's to come much more.. |
| So like were the mom & daughter just hiding in a closet the whole time? |
| [ |
| Phantom Bullet ended and now will start to focus on Asuna, I find it pretty cool. |
| Kirito was saved by leaving on one of those hospital things lol. Those kids and their crazy killing plan. All told with some nice cake, again. It was nice Asada got to meet Asuna in the end. Plus it was nice that they found the woman from behind the counter and her daughter to thank her, that was really sweet. |
 |
| omg ! i totally loved this arc !! <3 <3 probably gonna re-watch it 'cuz it was so much enjoyable. |
| D'awwwwwwwwwww. :') |
| Omne Solum Forti Patria |
| In terms of action,the Gun gale online arc was decent at that,hell I feel it trumps the entire first season but I found -sinons character arc to be really contradictory and stupid. How does a girl get over her phobia with guns (not to mention being talented) through playing GGO and then revert back when entering back into the real world? -Kirito not remembering about death gun even though he didn't want to know him back when he met him in sword art online is a obvious plot hole. |
 |
| Kirito's plot shield is over ninethousaaaaaaaand!!! |
| I haven't seen the show, but I feel this is a little of what CSI Miami is like, lol. It feels like a silly investigation, crime-solving plot using anime as a medium. Kirito seems to even have his own intelligence organization with his resources and his head. . As I progress through each episode, SAO II gets more and more silly. . though I really loved the (entire) first season, so that will unconditionally carry through to subsequent seasons. . . that and also Asuna. |
 |
| I really loved this arc. The ending was great too. Great episode. |
 |
| Good thing Kirito was able to save Sinon! and it was nice to see that she is recovering in real life of her old trauma. So the other Death gun was the brother of Sinon's friend, and the third one is missing...and that message! Hell... Am I the only one who think it's odd that Kirito didn't introduced Asuna as his girlfriend?! What a boyfriend you are Kirito! |
 |
| It might be my current pms, but I totally started crying when that woman with her kid showed up T^T GGO is definitely SAO's best arc so far with Sinon being the best heroine atm. 8/10 |
  |
| That was F**king stupid that Kirito was saved by that tiny little heart monitor, it totally screamed plot armor. |
| Well. just got halfway through now, though it would be great to take a brake and write a little 😅 Its been extremely high intense! My heart raised all the time during the fighting scenes and some parts was just to amazing to watch u couldnt get my eyes of the laptop, though i would get square eyes 😂 Some part i couldn't stop smiling and laughing specialy when i saw kirito became a girl i seriously died 😂 just to funny! But so far i'm Really am enjoying watching the Season II Story has been just awesome in overall, Art it self it beautiful as always and really wonderful to watch, really like the OP / ED really nice listening to em and characters itself is really interesting all the new and old faces. Really great so far! :P |
