Pedram said: Bleach started in 2001 but the arc when Byakuya showed off Senbonzakura happened in 2005 or the year before, I'm not too certain since it was the specific volume containing that chapter that was released in 2005, and usually we get volumes a while after they come out in WSJTokoya said: Lelouch0202 said: Tokoya said: Alice's sword being like Byakuya's Senbonzakura from Bleach put a smile on my face though and given what its made from, I'm not surprised to see how powerful it is Hah, glad to see we thought the exact same thing. XD Alicization was written in 2005, not sure when these Bakai stuff from Bleach was released or became popular tho. if it was later, maybe they both rip it off from another less popular story and we dont know it :P But who knows, maybe you're right and they both ripped off something else lol |

Wow, that enchance armament by Kirito to defeat her. That's our Kirito for you, doing everything he can to save a life. Man those potions Cardinal makes are incredible they are completely back to 100% It's Alice! this place they are at definitely looks like their past with the field and tree ect, either way it's a nice scenery. Wow her sword is so powerful, Kirito is just doing enough to stay with her, Alice even praised him. I knew it wouldn't be that simple to contain her long enough but what happened at the end was quite the turn of events, now to wait until next time to see how they get out of this predicament. |

Eugeo is so weak-spirited. His reactions deem him a weak man. He threw away the dagger which is more important than his own life. (facepalm) With Kirito out of the Central Tower, it just means Eugeo is now screwed. There is at least Integrity Knight One and the Administrator left and he is all alone. What a blunder!! I am sure Asuna if there would had fought much better than Eugeo does. |

Excalibur is that you? No, but really the sword is more like a flower whip. So cool, although I cried a little bit because I thought the osamanthus tree was really her closed off memories of Eugeo's tree. ;-; |

This anime loves to leave us with dramatic cliffhanger. Kirito wins the duel against Fanatio with his enhance armament, I liked the manifestation of the sword, the color makes it look sinister it looks great when it hits Fanatio's beam of light. The good Kirito sympathizes with Fanatio after seeing she is on the verge of death and uses the dagger that Cardinal gave them and she decides to heal Fanatio. Eugeo looks very weak of will, lately he doubts much of his actions. The girl in the elevator gave me a bit of pity, I don´t know, seeing that her job has been that for 107 years is something that makes you question whether if she has a dream of her own or wants to be free. The 80th floor is the floor of the garden in the clouds and in that place we meet again with the beautiful Alice, I must say that I loved her sword and her enhance armament, that Bleach vibe I loved it. Kirito has a hard time keeping up the fight with Alice, her high power makes her a tough opponent to attack, but eventually Kirito manages to hold her back and Eugeo uses his ice sword to freeze Alice, but her sword of the fragrant olive frees her. In the end Kirito and Alice collide with their enhance armament and with the clash of powers they break the wall and Alice and Kirito are ejected into the void and poor Eugeo is trapped and alone in the tower. The fight with Alice was short, but the animation and the music gave it a very "epic" touch, besides those actions in slow motion helped a bit. The name of the next episode is "Armistice", personally I think that Alice and Kirito will find themselves in a situation in which they should cooperate for the common good of both. |

That... wasn't good. No no no no no. After the storm that was the last episode here was I thinking I was gonna see a great conclusion and for the first time have two good SAO episodes back to back. Nope. Episode starts with the conclusion of the fight making the previous cliffhanger useless; They add nothing to Fanatio which was the highlight of the previous episode; They save her by wasting a dagger for nothing; They forget about what they said to the sisters about the Knights being strong; They go and find an elevator (how lucky); They fight Alice in a bland directed scene with fucked up animation (animation that existed through out the entire episode); and end in another cliffhanger (a very poor one). Personally, i think this was the worst episode of season 3 unlike the previous one that was the best. |

Honestly.. all I want is dual sword kirito. In any case, it was a good episode... but why did they decide to do a reset with them falling out of the tower; and its not helping that the next episode is "Truce", what? They're going to put aside their differences... why would they? |

The dragons are on the lower part of the tower, so they can only climb. The other reason is There are dozens of gargoyles that guard the top of the tower. That's why Kirito and Alice need to collaborate together to go up to the floor 95. |

Eugeo's Perfect Weapon Control Art is freezing the entire room? Well he did say it was more of a support ability, but honestly using that is pretty much instant win if the opponent does not have a resistance to it. Kirito just said that they were fugitives, and Eugeo just said they were going to kill the administrator...I mean she's just an elevator attendant, but shouldn't they be a little more discreet? And the side wall breaks, leaving Eugeo all alone in the cathedral. He's probably going to be captured and sent back to prison or something... Truce! Does that mean we're going to get some Kirito x Alice time? And if we get some Kirito x Alice time, that means that there's a chance that they get to cuck Eugeo! Yay! |

Can they system call summon aerial element themselves? Caught up in the show like right now, and I feel like the secondary characters disappear just like that... no enjoyment from my part due to that. I feel like there's so much talent wasted that only lasts one episode or two. Great fights, animation is good... but it's going too fast. At least let me enjoy these side characters, dammit.

Damn, Kirito's ability is OP xD But Alice's sword, damn! I don't think that none of them would be able to defeat her 1vs1, at least not in the current state. I wonder if the other Knight that he saved will help them in the future, she probably will because that girl will clean her mind, i hope xD A wall that restores automatically? damn xD |

Overly Virtuous Kirito rares it's head again. SMH. Using the dagger, and even shouting for help. Wtf. Alice looking fine af tho, with the golden armor and the senbonzakura. lololololol. So if they could easy beat number 2 but still "lost" to alice who is synthesis 30 iirc, does that mean their numbers aren't ranked by power, just the recency they became part of the integrity knights? |

Kirito regard everyone here as real humans and value their life. He killed people before, but they were all wicked Laughing Coffin players. they still gave him a trauma. Now imagine what if he killed a good and righteous knight who just want to keep the UnderWorld and it's people safe and orderly ? the whole reason she is fighting Kirito is coz she is brainwashed to think this is the correct way. if she died, Kirito would never forgive himself. and he will have trauma of killing an innocent and good person. and yeh the knights number of the time they became a knight, so number 2 is like 100-150 years and number 1 is like 200 years while number 30 alice is a few years and number 31 was said in anime that is only 1 month. |

This episode was pretty good , During reading the light novel I was feeling alot of familiar things to Byakuya from bleach but after that I can see it's way too similar. The personality , that how proud Alice is with her own "honour" which you can feel around her and of course her shik... enchamence armament looks like senbonzakura. But the main thing which get me in that episode is music. The soundtrack just right before the fight agains Alice , when kirito was speakin with eugeo is the soundtrack from 1st season I guess ( the 75th level boss ? If I remember well ) but when Alice hits for the first time with her senbon... her enchamence that new soundtrack just come in and smash my ears it's so good. ( It reminds me the style of Dark Souls soundtracks tbh. ) I can't wait for appearance of "Silent Knight"(Knights synthesis twelve - without saying any spoilers) or how it was that nickname , but it will be in the "better" half of alicization which will come ... I guess in 5 +/- episodes. |

Kirito's enhance armament overpowered Fanatio. Kirito kind enough to use that dagger on her. I didn't think they'd face Alice so soon. Alice sure is a formidable one. I wonder what happened to Kirito and Alice after that explosion. |

deathbySNU-SNU said: Another boring episode.. Again with the typical naive Jesus-kun trying to save her instead of killing Battle with alice was just like the other fights, so boring And what's with that slow motion? So lame These. The generic angel choir soundtrack and the over the top sound effects are the icing on the cake. And before the "don't watch it if you don't like it": to be able to enjoy and appreciate a good anime, it's wise to once in a while to suffer through a bad one. Contrast is necessary. And there is also certain kind of enjoyment in watching and recognizing what is bad in a show. Alicization suffers from the same ailments that spin-offs generally do. In spin-offs instead of getting on with the story, with characters we already know and care about, countless episodes are spent introducing the characters. Alicization foes further and and almost introduces one each episode. And because it took so long to get to the main story, we have already stopped caring about Alice, who was the whole motivation to the story in the first place. |

After such a good episode last week, this was utterly abysmal in every way. The end to the fight with Fanatio was so anticlimactic that it wasn't worth wasting a cliffhanger on, and then Kirito turned completely stupid and panicked over her, wasting the crucial dagger on her for no reason whatsoever. Then the fight with Alice was really silly, with stupidly over-the-top music and the stupid slow-motion effect that only made it look even more dumb. Oh, and the scene with the Operator was completely pointless. I don't give a shit about a random pointless character like that and neither should the show, but she was obviously just added in to waste yet more time on pointless exposition and backstory. |

Kirito's enhance armament that he used to take down Fanatio was visually impressive. His attack was even powerful enough to blast her straight into the ceiling before crashing down on the floor. Ouch... Now that Fanatio is under Cardinal's care and the two lads have healed up, they took the floating elevator, operated by the lady whose been doing this mundane job for 170 years, the poor girl. D= Eventually, they reach Alice and inevitably, they clash swords. Alice's perfect weapon control has that vibe of Saber's Excalibur and Bleach's Byakuya mixed into her visually beautiful, but powerful attacks as Kirito ends up on the back foot. The fight really does go down to the wire, especially with Eugeo using his enhance armament once again to trap Alice, but as she brakes herself free, Kirito uses his last enhance armament to put her off-balance. However, the wall next to them collapses and a powerful wind blows Alice and Kirito away before rebuilding itself, leaving poor Eugeo confused and shocked. All in all, this was another pretty good episode. The fights were visually impressive and the animation, despite a few off-scenes here and there, was still good overall. Admittedly, I wasn't expecting the sudden interrupting outcome for the fight against Alice. Good stuff, though. =D |

Loved the episode, Alice finally makes her real debut as Knight, that said I was expecting the fight to have a bit more of Sakuga, her attacks are heavy but it lacked impact, and I think she is stronger than Fanatio too, so they could have even her combat style at least a bit more of pressure. And so the wall blowned, things should get interesting next episode!

manny people said the action so good, to be honest, man that's so bad lack of frame by frame, very stiff, after eps 11, they always use the same scene with the same view, l already read the novel and dont get the epic feelings, like i watched the 2nd season of sowrd art online. seriously.... you can compare it with the previous actions scene. |
