Bertock said: Xtreme said: I just noticed there are only melee attackers and not any range attackers or magic, where most mmorpg have mages or archer class etc. They would have been be helpful here since you cannot get close to the boss. It has been explained in the first episode that there isn't any kind of magic in SAO. I don't remember if they spoke about archers as well, but since we didn't see any of them I suppose that there aren't also. In my opinion the creator of the game did that because, otherwise, everyone would have choose to be a magician or an archer. You risk your life in that game. Which kind of idiot would attack the enemy directly if he has the possibility of remain ten meters away from the danger? Range attackers generally have lower defense and hp, staying a few meters away doesn't necessarily means safe since bosses have range attacks unless boss is stopped by the melee tankers. And sometimes if they are trapped in a small room, they really cannot stay too far away from the mobs. So not everyone would have want to be one. |

| Awesome episode! :D |
| About 5 minutes of crappy "lovely dovey" moment which already know and the rest filled with awesome action |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| What a fucking tank. Not gunna lie, Heathcliff may actually be the most badass character in the series. |
 |
| Haha dat fish xD but damn the rest of the episode was effing amazing, really epic battle I do hope no one important gets killed! That boss looks really badass! |
 |

| All hail the Nutcracker Queen! |
| As much as I hate fillers in this series, I wasn't really bothered by the fish part. Action scene was good, can't wait to see how the fight pans out. |
| This was an amazing episode. I have an idea of what tragedy might happen already. |
| Damn Skull Reaper is boss. Finally back to the battles, love it! |
 |
| Skull Reaper looked so badass, am I the only one? |

 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| The first half of the episode was horrible, I couldn't stand it. But the second half.. well, we're back to the real shit SAO now. The Skull Reaper made me shiver, maaaaaaaaan. So many died, and I have a feeling someone of the support characters may die too. |
  |
| First half was meh. The second half however, was very good. Nice to see a big fight with a lot of people being involved in their own role (Heathcliff is a great tank btw). Though the bad thing about it is that we only really know like 5 people who pretty much do all the damage, the others seem to be disposable cannon fodders, which is a shame. I also really like the music which played during the real fight, I've really liked ever since I first heard it. Boss design is also pretty good. Much better than anything we've seen so far. I can't wait to see the rest of the fight! |
 |
| The boss makes me feel scary D: |
| half of warmth and half of epicness so that's how their bodies are kept alive... guess it only grows more interesting when theres a "time limit" feels like it's already ending but only halfway thru the season o_O! But I'm not complaining :) |
  |
| Nice battle with the skull reaper. I like the designs of all the bosses so far. |
| Funny opening, cute couple moment but lame cliffhanger ending. Makes it feel like setup for the next one more than anything, but a 7/10 anyway. |
| Heathcliff FTW! |
 |
| Can we not have this lovely dovey talk every damn episode? It was sweet at first but they're overdoing it. It's making me sick. Less drama and more ass kicking. Heathcliff, please. Don't. Die. On. Me. |
| Kirito x Asuna has to be one of the best anime couples EVER. That boss is scary as shit btw. Bad feeling we might lose someone important next ep. |
   |
| The boss fights make all the other shit worthwhile. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Good one. I start to get used to the time skips... and the missing factors. Anyways interesting and we will see how this fight continues too, hopefully. |
 |
| The bosses are getting harder and harder, I'm sure there's going to be some casualties in the next episode. |
| Another super boss fight where everyone gets their butt kicked but somehow kirito and asuna will save the day. |
| Such junk... |
| So amazing! I simply adored the Asuna and Kirito scenes! <3 The fight scene was awesome and the classical music compliments it so well! |
 |
| THIS BOSS IS SO DISGUSTING, LIKE A FUCKING SPIDER |
| These two have some serious chemistry going on. Reminds me of Cloud and Tifa. Jk. |
| Finally an episode were Asuna and Kirito bring out their fears about returning to the real world. It's that virtual/real world dynamic that I think is the most interesting thing in this story. Oh and finally we see that Asuna and Kirito are a normal healthy couple that shares a bed and such. Heathcliff is a badass, but I have my suspicions about him since that duel. That strength is insane. Blocking that bosses attack is off the charts. |

| Oh shit, that boss is fabulous :P I have a feeling either Kirito, Asuna or Heathcliff gonna die. My theory is that Kirino will die and be send back to the real world. The last time Kirito almost died, he briefly saw his sister/cousin. Then, he will have a dilemna probably between the real world and his familly or the game world and Asuna. Of course, he'll choose the second one :P So much people died... They almost look like NPC, it remind me of all those random people that died in Shingeki no Kyojin xD The first half was cute. Kirito and Asuna seem to be closer than ever. She'll not be able to take it if he die. But, normally, Klein should still have his resurrecting bottle. I wonder if she'll go in action in the next episode. That big ass fish was hilarious. |

| This boss is quite a boss. Oo Asuna x Kirito. ♥ |
| Thats a boss right there |
| So they killed that monster at the end? >.< Nice ep. with more Asuna x Kirito moments, fishing, fighting an enormous boss, COOL=) |
 |
| The first portion with the big catch was hilarious. Nice to see a more lighthearted side of the game. A couple of really heartfelt speeches from Asuna this episode, I really like how she doesn't just obediently sit tight and wait for her man to do the work. The whole "got each other's backs" relationship between the two is really nice. That Skull Reaper boss is intense. It was kind of creepy knowing that the boss was a giant centipede of death on the ceiling. |
 |
| On to the next 1 |
  |
| This was probably the best episode so far. Great fight and while the drama was a little over the top, it was good drama. It made me feel the bond between Asuna and Kirito was a mature love. This is the pace this show needs to be at for the audience to be able to care about the characters. |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| The first part: 2,0 The last part: 10,0 zzzzzzzzzzz all that fisherman crap. |
| Holy crap that boss is nuts, and its systematically going after the weakest of the group. Only the 75th floor, what else is there after this?! |
 |
| Cool, Kirito's fishing! And Asuna killed the giant fish thingy! (^_^) Kirito x Asuna!! Heathcliff is back with a request to take down The Skull Reaper, who can 1-hit KO. It's going to take a lot of time. And a lot of deaths. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| Boring at some parts... That boss is very strong,next episode should be good. |
| "The Skull Reaper" is the boss! (he he) I so want to fight something like that in a game... Asuna x Kirito showing off their marriage skills there. Epic episode. |
  |
| "Wait say WHAAAAAAT?!?" I cracked up, that was hilarious especially with the guys facial expression. Kirito looked like L from Death Note with that hunch when they got to the fishing tournament! Why was Asuna freaking out because of that little lizard? She attacked a giant demon of death last episode but not a lizard freaks her out? xD "You ran away! You left me there to die!" Lol Kirito xD Again with the hilarious facial expressions! Asuna's little speech about Kirito to the fisherman was great, but now I feel like something bad has to happen :( Now I feel it even more after Kitiro and Asuna's talk right before leaving for the dungeon :( Oh my god people I like are totally going to die in the next episode, that boss is horrifying and so tough. It doesn't help that the next episode is called "The End of the World", haha. I really hope the core group of Kirito, Asuna, Klein, and the blacksmith are all ok! Yeah, even Heathcliffe. He's a valuable player. |

| Well we finally get some real action again, though the first part was boring. |
