Takana_no_Hana said: InfiniteDestiny said: Fair enough, what he did to Asuna does increase the hate, but wouldn't you say that by character alone he is worse? i mean if given the chance who would kill more? Kayaba didn't seek the death of others like Sugou did, he simply did his "experiment" and viewed the deaths as collateral damage, not saying he is a saint because obviously 4000 dead is 4000 dead and its a horrible crime but just saying i believe Sugou to be worse. Besides the only reason Sugou's crime were less was because Meanwhile, if you're dead in Kayaba's game, yeah it's a game to satisfy his own amusement, then you're screwed. What if 100k pp were trapped instead of 10k? He doesn't care about how many lives have been lost. That's what make him a pure evil. Like a nuclear button, one fire, all die. But you hand isn't dirty cause it's the missle that does you all the works. Kayaba killed people in the indirect ways, he killed people by their own mistakes (stupidity, low level, creep kills, PK, etc). stop the spoilers etc.. this has nothing to do with episode 14 |

| 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. |
LancelotTypeZero said: Good episode would have been better if they made the battle more climatic.Cant wait to see what has happened in the outside world over this situation. Two importatnt questions came to my mind at the end. 1)Wtf are there no nurses or doctors in the hospital? 2) Will ALO start next week? 1) there are... but if you ever been to a hospital you would know that nurses aren't by your bed every single second; especially if we are talking about coma like patients. 2) Yes and no, the SAO arc is over but the actual ALO arc won't really start till episode 16, because next week is a set up; granted it can still be considered ALO but still...it won't have the same feel as ALO because most of it if not all of it will be in the real world |

It's not like kirito is in ICU he is probably in some corner of a hospital long since forgotten by anyone but, his family really. I figured as much just thought it was funny to see. Btw was I the only one who mistook the creator of SAO for Otabe Rintou's brother. SAO is really Steins Gate Da Faq? (intended to sound like a stupid Shamalan twist) |

| I'm very, very confused right now. |
| We're the same. Nuisances with nowhere to go. |
| For a second I thought that was gonna be the end of the season but then after a quick check I remembered it's supposed to be 25 episodes, sigh. I'm guessing he'll spend the rest of the season looking for Asuna and all the others he met in the game...? Idk, I didn't read the novels :F |
| Amazing episode and in the end, an amazing arc. I finished volume 1 of the light novel just before watching this episode, so I know how it ended. I still ended up crying even though I know what's gonna happen. Tears just kept coming down. T.T |

Blitzschnell said: oh well I agree to this, but it needs a spoiler tag. |
Blitzschnell said: Even killing them indirectly is a crime he should have been punished for But I agree with the rest.. |
Calumz said: best anime this year anyone who disagrees why are you even here? Are you fucking for real? |
 |
| So many feels. |
| Terrible ending to a terrible arc in a terrible serie. Giving it one last shot with the next few episodes. |
     |
| Not gonna lie, I laughed when they died. |
edwd2 said: ALO. the score will drop sharply Considering its structure is better suited for adaption that may not be true; granted ALO is worse than SAO but people won't be complaining about timeskips, side stories, and such in ALO, and any complaints about Sugou being a bastard will simply make the ending that much better. |

Pretty much this, I can see all the haters going "FUCK YES SUGOU." Also just watched the episode. Was a bit disappointed with the small fight and how it was pretty much one sided, until kirito comesback in a ghost like form and stabs kayaba. Emotion was pretty good, with the ending scene of Kirito and Asuna at top of sky with kayaba and Kirito in the hospital. |

| uhh. mhm. okay :O though i'm kinda missing the "ohmygodwhy?" effect when asuna died x.xa |
| Nope. |
| I thought it was pretty rushed, especially the boss fight, lasted only a minute... and then there is asuna who was paralysed managed to move and block the attack....how???? anyway seeing the end at the hospital and all was good. looking forward to what happens next |
 |
| If I hadn't known there would be more episodes I would definitely think this was the last... |
 K-ON v1.1 ... Please leave you comments on my profile! ^_^ |

| ... So... Why did Heathcliff turn himself into an Immortal Object again? He "Chaged into Immortal Object". What? o_O |

| The only thing Im mad about is that the anime seemed rushed. I thought the anime would end once he cleared the game. Im just trying to figure out what the rest of the anime is going to be about. Also I wonder how close the anime followed the light novels? |
ssjokg said: OLHearts said: ... So... Why did Heathcliff turn himself into an Immortal Object again? He "Chaged into Immortal Object". What? o_O he always was an Immortal Object.Being the creator/GM and all. No. What he means is that when he was turning himself into a non Immortal object it said "Changed into Immortal Object" Takagiyagami said: The only thing Im mad about is that the anime seemed rushed. I thought the anime would end once he cleared the game. Im just trying to figure out what the rest of the anime is going to be about. Also I wonder how close the anime followed the light novels? Pretty close, actually really close, but it was a bit fast paced.. Next Arc is Volumes 3-4. Which is the next 11 episodes. |

| The whole episode I thought the anime staff are deciding to end the series because of lack of budget or something. Unfortunately, everyone here is acting like this is canon in the light novel. So, I guess this is the actual ending in the light novel as well?! O_o If so, I am very disappointing. This is ending is bad and abrupt as ending of manga that got canceled. Maybe the novel got canceled or author got tired of writing this. I dono, but this ending is terrible. All the build up for rest of 25 floors. The intense suspense when Kirto can finally discover the truth at the last floor. The epic final battle. ALL LOST and WASTED. It pain me to see all that potential got trashed like that. This is like setting your new car on fire, deleting the research paper that you spend 1 month writing... I only hope that I am wrong and this is just some anime rush ending and not actually canon in the LN. |

Ah dude....there are things called arcs in series...just because SAO "ended" doesn't mean the series does. There are 10 volumes out, SAO only covers two of them |

| this anime is surpose to be about love from me looking at it you guys just want action 24/7 lol its mix of comedy,love,and action why i like it |
| This was so incredibly rushed and stupid. I liked the production values of this episode. I admit that it was really pretty to look at. But really, she was not paralyzed anymore because "These things happens". What kind of reasoning is this! Is the next arc better then the first, if not, there's no way I'm sticking around. |

It's not hard to believe seeing as how Kirito had his doubts about him and decided to test it out. Who wouldn't? I mean his HP Never goes past half, too fast in the duel, etc. imredjimmy said: This was so incredibly rushed and stupid. I liked the production values of this episode.

People can't tell you what arc is better if you disliked the show already. |

Well I think they didn't rush the anime at all, what do u think if every fight in SAO is spread into few episodes? it just gonna go like naruto or other 100+ ep animes, and SAO can do that (I think) short and compressed eps are what makes SAO the best anime, becoz it's interesting this way |

The content of ALO is worse than SAO, but the structure will make it easier to see, you won't get any time skips nor side stories, it will be a straight line adaption. |

| Come on, no boss fight and how the hell was Asuna able to move, did she also have Yui's heart or what? Didn't see coming that Heathcliff was Kayaba but didn't blow my mind either, I just took it. The visuals were amazing, seriously, that whole scene in the sky. I'm excited to see the new arc but it's ridiculous that Kazuto/Kirito is able to move, he should be lying on the ground. |
| meh. this thread seems more entertaining to read than ALO. >.> |
| Nope. |

I just hate that I have to wait a week to see what happened to asuna. |

I'm excited to see the new arc but it's ridiculous that Kazuto/Kirito is able to move, he should be lying on the ground. The anime made him moving seem a lot easier than in the novel; but that said even in the anime it showed how he was struggling to move with his weaken body; as for being able move right away the fact that this is set in the future makes medical technology being slightly better reasonable so maybe his muscle treatment was better than ours. As for the Boss fight being cut out; it was cut out in the novel also, or rather ended all of sudden just like the anime; after all the fight with Kayaba took priority. |

Zhou said: Come on, no boss fight and how the hell was Asuna able to move, did she also have Yui's heart or what? Well if u watched Accel World (some what links to SAO) I think the only reason why Asuna can move is her emotion is going over the limits of the system (overdrive) which the system no long able to stop her :D love trolls the game |
| I guess it's on to ALO. It's too bad the antagonist in ALO makes my blood boil....I'll have to restrain myself. |

Oh god... *facepalm* This series basically amount to taking alot of risk, being a loner, help random girls, marrying in a virtual world, and use hax power to win the game. I was waiting for serious badass actions after all the virtual romance and side stories are over and they take on an epic adventure and the front line. One episode in and he won by hax power...... lol ...... 2/5 for the series. |
