I'm curious about how they'll handle everything left with only three episodes, but A-1 hasn't done too badly so far (apart from the unnecessary ass shots of Sinon) so I'm not too worried.


I'd say I'd say it will take around two, maybe two and half episodes to handle it all.


2 sounds about right

I loved this episode. The action was amazing and the whole mystery behind Yuuki is very interesting. I can see what people mean when they talk about how this arc has a lot of feels.

That was quite a good fight, shame they didn't show a little of the fight between Kirito and Klein VS the other guild.

The old battle OST from the first season is always welcome.
That slowmo moment was good, and Yuuki is as greast as always, I do love her voice and personality.
I wonder why the emotional scene, is she going to die or something?

poor Yuuki

Asuna was amazing this episode in every way

Kirito managed to get a high cooking skill? either way he did a lot behind the scenes this ep

Yuuki is so much cuter when she smiles and i really want to see her smiling again

LOL, Blacky-sensei can't fight so many opponents at the same time? BLASPHEMY!

The way he deflected the magic reminded me of how he used to fight and deflect bullets in GGO XD.

HELL YEAH EXCALIBER!!! Ah, Klein came to help as well... meh...

Yuuki and Asuna are quite OP themselves XD.

Yuuki called Asuna "nee-chan" hmmm...

That was quite the intense boss fight and they finally got their names engraved T.T

Hmmm, I see there's still something wrong with them...

Ah, a nice victory party over at Asuna and Kirito's house.

They didn't let Asuna join the Sleeping Knights until Spring... hmm... are they all dying of a terminal disease or what... it's really bugging me...

"Nee-chan" once again... eh...

If A-1 screwed this arc up they'll burn... LITERALLY!!!

Anyway I like how the animated the scene of the female leads and laughing whenever they do something OP, of course we're use to seeing Kirito doing it but seeing someone else do it is refreshing.

Now I fear how they'll deal with the last couple of episodes.

I can see them stretching this arc another two episodes, but that leaves the final one and I can think of three possibility that'll happen.

They stretch MR till the end which can be both BAD and GOOD with a filler, but they might generate bad feeling with everyone for doing to an arc that was going well.

They have an episode that will be another recap, doing that will really turn a lot of people off and i hope they won't do it.

The final option is the lead up to the next season and use THAT to do it, those that read the LN knows what I'm referring to, so please no spoilers here as most pople can't resists the button that say spoiler.

On another note I haven't seen as many haters here as usual, that's good to know.

Well yeah, he split Alicization in Part I and Part II and the end of Part I was Vol. 14 :P


The animation this episode was really nice.

Also in terms of faithfulness, I have nothing to complain so once again A-1, you did a good job ;-)

 Wrong. The volume 14 is called Alicization Uniting and volume 15 is called Alicization Invading. Don't know where you got the idea that the Alicization arc ended on volume 14 but it still being released. From what I read from the web novel and based on where the arc is at now it is going to end on volume 17-18.

Yea that is what I have been told. Alicization has two arcs within one but still the same arc. Basically two parts like you said :P.

Just my two cents, but I think A-1 ending the episode where they did today shows that MR is not going to be dragged out past two episodes, meaning that 25 will most likely end with "THAT" (having not read past MR I have no idea with that "THAT" is!). My guess is that season 3 has already been green lighted.

I just want to see Kirito with the Excaliber a bit more in action. Just too bad, that would have been a badass scene.

Also I find the boss battle not too exciting, I just want it to be more memorable for the scenes ahead. Hopefully they will grant us one more boss battle before the feels hit us hard. Few more episodes left I hope this arc will not finish with a big letdown.

Kirito, Klein and Yui came to help as expected. Kirito bringing out Excalibur like some badass swordsman.
They finally defeat the boss! Celebrated with a party at Asuna's house. They finally got their names engraved in that wall.

Some touching moments between Asuna and Yuuki. I wonder how this'll turn out after Asuna discovers what Yuuki and the other's were worried about.

Hope I am not jinxing it, but this is why I liked A-1 MR adaptation since the last episode, the LN gave much more Kirito than necessary - the anime cut them down to hints. Pretty much it's just "Kirito got here" in ep 20, and "Kirito bought time then got owned" in ep 21 - all we need to know. A rare occurrence where the adaptation managed to do better than the original material, especially in SAO case.

The salamander guy's face when he arrived and the boss is already dead. IN YOUR FACE! In any MMO, the feeling when you're with your guild beating raid boss when other guild(s) tried to troll you and failed is just priceless.

5/5 .


And all these were just the beginning, now the feels trip begins.

This may be mean of me to say, but I have the feeling that this was the first arc that the animation team really respected, hence they are trying their best to do it right.

Shaniyaz said:
Well, it was relatively easier for him since he has experience with Sinon's bullets.


Even better they had Kirito reference it , his "huhh, magic is no where near as fast as bullets" was a great OP line.

Shaniyaz said:
And then, he proceeds to show off his Excaliber. Seeing those players backing off was hilarious!


It was a good scene, but I think A-1 missed a bit on this. After all it was a accumulation scene of the entire series to date: one armed sword wielding black warrior (SAO), with Personal Pixie (ALO), unique dual wielder (from both SAO and ALO), who also has a sword suspiciously like the famed Excalibur (from Caliber) - a "who the hell is this guy" would have been great.

Shaniyaz said:
Asuna's Flashing Penetrator was epic. I think that alone took out almost as much people Yuuki and the other Sleeping Knights members did together. (Nah, just a little exaggeration).


Another thing that was great about it was that for 46 episodes viewer only people were like "what's the big deal with Asuna, why are all the readers going gaga over her". Now they are like "oh, now I see why she is the best girl".

So lots of fun things this episode, but next episode should be truly amazing. I am trusting A-1 not to screw with the timing, it has to be next episode.

Edit: should add when the green clad glasses guy with the spear got two players with one thrust was a great underplayed scene. Underplayed violence always rocks.

Second edit: Klein's "yeah I'm here, not that you can see me" was also a great self-referencing scene.

Yuuki is Asuna's sister? Or maybe Asuna resembles Yuuki's sister? Well Yuuki started tearing up, so I'm expecting more of this in the coming episodes.


Yeah, it's really kind of hard to not spoil. IF you seen the LN spoilers, or read the LN yourself, you know why YUUKI and the group are acting awkward. If you haven't, you really are left wondering" WTF is wrong with them acting like that to Asuna?" If you're somewhat astute and picked up the tell tale signs you already have a gut feeling anyways. The hints are about as obvious as a sledgehammer to the back of the head.

It was a really good episode. Definitely one of the best this season and probably top 5-ish overall in the series.

it's a cultural thing. Japanese aren't very open about personal issues. Making people uncomfortable is a big deal to Japanese. They try to avoid it. I mean how many series have you watched where someone utters the line "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble" or something similar.

Kirito the genius he is figured something out right away lol. Yea the previous episode Yuuki told Asuna that Kirito would not work out since he knows her secret. I have no clue what the secret is but it must be important.

Amazing episode, The Sleeping Knights completed their goal and i think it's fairly obvious that Asuna and Yuuki are sisters, or she's gonna die or something like that. (I'm an anime-only watcher btw)

Kirito was pretty bad ass, as always.

The OST this week was fantastic too, Madoka Magica style.



SO MUCH DOUJIN MATERIAL!
