Xaliuss said: That's what I mean.ssjokg said: Xaliuss said: Sugou is ALO admin, but he doesn't often visit the game, and as he is not the developer of Cardinal system he doesn't know many details, and he can't freely change the code, he just have admin privileges. That's the reason of most of his mistakes. If he had much power over the Cardinal system It's because he didn't know everything about the system. |
| Although I expected, they really left out Jotunheimr. Well, it could just be an OVA. A good episode overall, not that exciting yet though. Next episode against countless enemies!! |

When did we learn that? Weird thing is I never saw anyone asking about that scene.... But HEY we have fanservice...>_> We haven't been at that part yet. Assuming that they will talk about it....I learned to not expect much from A-1 for SAO. |

whatever123456 said: TehWhiteTiger said: Another good episode. Although the tentacle part was uhh interesting?.. I really want to see the reaction when they learn who each other is. Can't wait for next week, but only four episodes left :(. I really want to read the light novels now, but they are only in Japanese currently, unless I am mistaken? How are the manga(s) compared to the anime? Most of the LNs are translated, you can find them on Baka-Tsuki or nyaa. The manga is bad. Oh thank you, I never expected them to be translated online, I will have a look =D. MarkusEA said: And there's something I've been wondering about for a looong time. Leafa, is that Kirito's sister IRL? the ''onii-chan'' part when she logged in crying beside him made me even more confused. THX in advance! Yes, I thought it showed that she was (unless I am mistaken). but neither of them know that yet. As for those saying that the anime is bad, and has plot holes and so on. Yes it does, but that is often the case in anime. From a perspective of only watching the anime, I think the anime is enjoyable despite the plot holes and cheesy parts to it. Although I am sure the light novels are far superior. It is the same in most media, when any visual media is made from a written one (books to movies, manga/novels to anime etc), 9 times out of 10 the final product is not a true adaptation to the source material. Is this anime a good adaptation of the source material? Probably not Is it a enjoyable anime in its own right despite its flaws? imo yes. |
"When everyone else is about to give up, the fighter who becomes the role model, is the true Leader."  |
| How does it make any sense for the scientists to have slug-like tentacle monster avatars? and Sugu should really learn to put on some porper pants, especially when it's cold outside |

MarkusEA said: I thought that leafa (I don't remember her irl name) knew that kirito in the game was her brother? :S No she doesnt.Neither does he know that she is Suguha.They have no reason to know it.Their avatars and voices look similar to us only. |
| Incest, loli, tsundere and now (pink slug) tentacle rape--This has it all!Anime of the year right here folks, 10/10. Seriously the minute I saw those 2 slug guys I burst out laughing.How can people take this shit seriously? |

Thats the problem.Everything else was ok.SetsukoHara said: ssjokg said: I think that he talks about the bug or that Asuna stole the sys admin key The bug is actually a good thing, nice use of the game setting here. But those scientists were fucking stupid. They were lucky enough to catch Asuna before she escaped, you'd expect they would be more vigilant, but... No. They weren't security guards or anything and acted completely reasonable. They contacted Sugou after they caught Asuna and followed his orders. I am curious of that. |

| Well,there it is,a good suggestion for those hentai girls raped by tentacles: bite! |
| Pretty obvious Asuna wouldn't be able to escape that easily. That tentacle stuff was a little unnecessary. Poor Suguha. Now she's seen Asuna in real life she really knows she doesn't have a chance. But damn it; it only takes one time of him mentioning the name 'Asuna' ingame for her to realize he's Kazuto. Why do they spread it out so long? Yui sensed Asuna up there! I'm looking forward to seeing Kirito making his way up there. |

| O.M.G.. Now that was what I would call a great episode; the previous ones aren't even be comparable IMO O: But dang, Asuna! You were so close! But now you can see Kirito in the game! That ending.. Total cliffhanger! Kyaa! Can't wait for the next episode! Hopefully Kirito and Asuna will finally see each other^^ |

| 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. |
Malkinor said: I keep reading about Tonkii / Jotunheim in various posts, so I shall look forward to reading the LNs once I have time You don't need to worry about Jotunheimr that much though, since it doesn't add any development to the current Arc. But it's supposed to be a "quest starter" for another Sidestory, "The Caliber SS". It's just about the strongest sword in ALO that Kirito won't use that much. |

Malkinor said: Questions probably better left unasked: - Why didn't Kirito buy a 2nd sword at any of the previous towns, to better utilize his skill at dual wielding (Even without system assist dual wield bonus / extra skills) - Are there no pots / crystals in ALO? Not enough money.He needs a sword with at least the same stats of his won sword.Hegave most of his money to the two Lords.If they can afford only for a cheap inn then it means they dont have much left. I dont remember about crystals but potions do exist. And Asuna actually did something important by taking that keycard with her. |

He used dual wielding out of desperation.He didnt think that it could be used before that fight or he didnt think that he would go through all that shit to reach the Tree..If Eugene didnt have Gram, but a normal sword with no abilities, then he wouldnt need to use 2 swords to defend and attack at the same time. himself. |

| This episode is pretty horrid LOL Tentacle rape really? LOL At least the story progressed I guess. They finally confirmed Asuna's location and she got the keycard after being raped LOL (Sorry still can't get over it). Oh right more wincest moments LOL |
ssjokg said: ShiroX said: How does it make any sense for the scientists to have slug-like tentacle monster avatars?

Good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TPpq2HRx98 that was brilliant every line was fucking hilarious XD |
|
| I voted 5/5 A like anime with good plot. I also like ecchi animes. This anime combines both. |
| entertaining but sooo many plot holes and fails everywhere D; slimy octopus thing scene was super awk to watch...especially when a tentacle shaped like an AHUM was right beside her mouth >_< |
Malkinor said: Actually this annoyed me more than anything. I hate this kind of plot device. She used her time going around saying, "I have to save these virtual brains" when she could've dashed out of there quick, and either logged out or teleported to any random location. I hate it when in any anime or movie when a character hesitates on something so obvious, and because of that hesitation, something bad happens.- Asuna doing more before being recaptured. Imagine if you were running from some criminals. Then just when you're given the opportunity to get away, you see an old lady and you help her walk across the street. Then you get captured. That's how I feel about Asuna. |

And ye tentacles, for a second I almost mistook this for a normal cartoon. |
| More 1/5 scores than normal this week. Awesome. |
|
| I think the tentacles pretty much just stopped me from dropping the series. On a serious note: this seemed to have all gone downhill for me as soon as they removed the real death aspect. |
| tentacles, idiot sister that loves her brother and stuff, fail escapes, almost as good as your average harem. quality episode again D: |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Ugh. The God Class monster chapter was skipped. They're probably gonna do a blu-ray about it. I was really looking forward to that getting animating... :( 4 more episodes. 2 more to finish ALO arc, at most. Then wut? GGO arc coming next? They can't do it in 3 episodes... |
Dessiato said: It seems the more popular youtubers have taken to shitting on SAO. Good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TPpq2HRx98 Those guys took their time. It's like beating a dead horse. I don't see any reasons to hate on SAO anymore, even the anime staff don't try anymore and add fanservice at every occasion, when it was barely there during the first part. |
meepsheep said: entertaining but sooo many plot holes and fails everywhere D; slimy octopus thing scene was super awk to watch...especially when a tentacle shaped like an AHUM was right beside her mouth >_< Just curious about what the plothole was in this ep.I can think of 1 and that is because of how they skipped an entire chapter.

| http://thecartdriver.com/sword-art-online-episode-21-of-giant-tentacle-slugs-and-men/ It's almost as good as SAO. Actually it is even better. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Why ending it with a cliffhanger?!! I don't like where things are going with Suguha, she will end up depressed on both worlds. |

| I feel sorry for suguha. I liked how Kirito took off without saying a word to her though. |

Renzokuken said: When you see her:I feel sorry for suguha.  like that, it's all depressive and sadness. By the end of the series lots will feel sorry for her. Sure her acting and stuff was not the best and some hatred she got but her feelings are quite genuine IMO. |
Yumekichi11 said: Renzokuken said: When you see her:I feel sorry for suguha. like that, it's all depressive and sadness. By the end of the series lots will feel sorry for her. I won't, she will eventually find someone else and her relationship with him will be less akward that the relationship she would have with Kirito anyway. |
