| Kirito confirmed for being Chinese Electric Batman in disguise. |
| Errr, I started to like Sachi... Oh well :/ |
| Lol so what happened? |
Confucius said: Lol so what happened? Well they all died... except kirito of course |
 |
| You'd think they'd be a bit more cautious if your life was on the line. LOL |

| good episode, but it woulda been much better had it shown how Kirito got out of the trap, rather than just jump to the aftermath. |

| I expected something like this would happened , especially at the part when she thought she will die soon and Kirito promised her that she will be ok but still, i kinda hoped in good ending, well not in this anime, this not the "every good guy and girl is ok at the of episode" after all. This show is much more serious type then i had thought and it definitely leaves impact. Thou it would be nice to have at least Asuna by side of our protagonist in other worlds to have more characters that are not secondary. Sent with Mal Updater |

( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list ) |
| I didn't want her to die but I expected it to happen. Why did he enter the room in the first place if he knew it was a trap? Can't wait to watch next episode. |
| I swear I'm about to drop this anime, because the story is absolutely NO GOOD without reading the novels! I mean he meet shy sachi, laid in bed with her, and saw her die all in the same episode!! I'd rather have them stretch out these three episodes into a twelve cour instead of attempting to squeeze in the entire series to fit in the ending. |
| And I thought the one month skip was weird... WTF 1 year and ~50 levels? You mean to say nothing important happened? Okay... Apart from the annoying continuous skipping the episode was really rushed. I'm sorry, but I can't feel sad for somebody I just got to know 5 minutes ago. I know it was trying to show the importance of death here, but it was really awkward like this. What about the thousands of players who died in that 1 year? Sachi's death was such a shame (and pretty predictable), not really because of the character (again, I didn't really know anything about her), but because of her seiyuu (Hayami Saori) being a pretty good one. Btw, Kirito was pretty stupid for letting them go to that secret place, he should have known it will be a trap, hell all of them should have expected it. Also, what happened with the Divine Dragons, did they get beaten by Klein and his friends? |
 |
| Shit goes wayyyy to fast man. What the hell happened between floor 2 and 49?? Anyway I like it. I love gaming and RPG so I'll def. keep watching |
| that was sad....I thought she is one of the main character Sachii................... |
 |
| Having only see the TV series, I have no complaints. Dem feels escalated quickly. Lay down, try not to cry, cry a lot. ;_; |
  |
| Why do people even care about Sachi? We barely know her for 20 minutes and it's so obvious she's going to die that any impact is lost. |
| Jojolion anime when? |
| I Don't know the original so this episode was absolutely fine with me. Didn't feel rushed to me at all so people shouldn't complain and just enjoy ^^ |
| The pace was abit too fast? . . . I hoped they'd slow it down abit. . . . I mean, we met Sachi, we liked Sachi, then Sachi died. All in one episode. I feel bad for Kirito . . . He's all alone once more, I didn't understand why the dude jumped off really. |
| No!! Why did Sachi die :c ...my feels just overloaded there ;~; And I feel so sad for Kirito, he separates himself from everyone, and he is so alone. It pains me to see him like that >~< Well, on to episode 4~ |
 |
| This was kinda sad but they made stupid choices. I mean going to a high level just to get money is kinda greedy and the fact that you will stake your life is just stupid. Kirito is so overpowered now but the sadness and remorse he's feeling seems unbearable, making him strong. 4/5 |
 |
| in one episode i got attached to sachi and was really sad when she died. this is one episode. jesus. |
   |
| I can't believe it. That many characters have died in just one episode... Sachi was such a cute girl. She couldn't die. :< |
| I thought it was an amazing episode! So unseasonable but I love Christmas episodes! He killed Santa! OMG! D: ;____________; Sachi ... I can't believe her Christmas present ... it was too sweet! Awww! I liked her a lot, I can't believe she died already! :( |
 |
| This one probably should've been split into two episodes, but I'm pretty impressed with the dub. They have chose really fitting voices for the characters so far. I love this show so much. |
 |
| Why did she have to die?? ;-; |
| well aint that sad |
| Ow....the feels........my heart hurt. |
 |
| Interesting episode. Most memorable part being the record box. Not much other there to see. |
 |
| Another great episode though i get the feeling this series is going to be heavily rushed. Because its based on the novels all packed into 25 episodes. So its inevitble that things are going to be rushed to a huge extent, i just hope they tell the core parts of the story at least. I AM SO reading the novels since they are translated. I just have to know more bout this amazing world. IN any case i liked this episode, they introduced more of the mechanics behind this MMORPG and we find out that kirito's lvl was actually 48, which was way way above those other newbies he met on the floor 1 boss. This was deffinitly a more sad episode, he joined a guild and ended up getting quite a few people killed because of his secrecy to not reveal who he truly is. I am wondering if in the novels Kirito and this other girls relationship kind of expanded upon a bit more. Looking forward to next episode. |
  |
| Sachi ;__; I quickly grew to like her and then she was gone just as fast. Her Christmas message was really sweet. |
| So sad ;~; I mean, I didn't have that much of an attachment to Kuro Neko members, but yeah ;[ Sucks that they died... RIP That being said, Klein is such a nice character. When he showed up again in a guild, I was hoping that he hadn't turned into a douche and I'm glad that he hasn't x] |
| Time skips, time skips, time skips! YEAH! Fun, fun, fun, fun, looking forward to the next time skiiiip.... Sachi, or whatever her name was, was just annoying and whiny, glad she died (and it comes from a person that loves Orihime from Bleach). I don't really get why you people liked her? I found it impossible to like her because she had only a few lines (although I liked the fact that she was afraid of dying, not every character needs to be badass) and before I could even make an opinion on her, she died. but hey finally Klein appeared. I also didn't really care about the other guild members... they just appeared and died a couple of minutes later. This anime is waaay too rushed. Characters appearing and then vanishing before you get to know them and like/hate them. I loved the first episode, but this one and previous one were just meh. emo!Kirito is getting on my nerves. |
| First time watching this anime and so far, I still don't understand the huge hype that it had.. nor do I understand the massive amount of people saying that they were really saddened by what happened to Sachi. If you get attached to a character like that in not even half an hour, you have some issues. To the LN readers, your sadness is understandable. |
| Geez, this episode was a mess. Everything happened so quickly that the buildup to the girl's death was almost nonexistent, and the part when the girl was humming "Rudolph" was just completely awkward. Were we really expected to cry at the end with Kirito when he knew her, but we didn't? |
 |
| Somehow things feel like they're happening too quickly. It'd benefit from slower pacing IMO. |

| I'm rewatching this show right now. I think... I'm getting the feeling most of our actual community is afraid to stick up for this show when a few users with a certain "image" to them harp on it. I think... A lot of things about the world-building are silly, and yet, this still manages to engage me, unlike another anime I watched recently which just annoyed me (and equally infamous). I'm getting the feeling, this show's strengths go beyond visuals and music, that aren't rooted in wish-fulfillment or what have you, But damn, I've got my work cut out for me. Time. To get. Cracking... |

| What the heck is with episode... I haven't read the VN, but this episode is just one of the worst things I've EVER seen in an anime... the first sensed character comes in, she says right things about fear of death THEN SHE DIES AFTER 10 MINUTES FLAT IN A RIDICOLOUS WAY THEN RIDICOLOUS FLASHBACK AND RIDICOLOUS TEARS COME ON NOBODY WILL CRY BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN THERE FOR 10 MINUTES This is not rushed. This is more. This is... pathetic. What the hell is with SAO? I'm watching it for the first time without any prejudice, it looked kinda cool at the beginning, even if it had some doubts inside... then woah it's not bad, it's the worst thing ever. Kirito has no development even if ONE YEAR has just passed, I mean, one year is a gigantic amount of time for a person, it means change, experiences, while in SAO this means nothing. Seriously, what happened during all this time? Derping around in the game with no sense at all? Where's the logic? Where's the character development? Where's... everything? 1/10 this episode, 3/10 series (3 eps watched), probably dropped because of blatant incompetence. This isn't even an anime... I'm currently watching Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal, Pokémon XY, FMA Brotherhood and Detective Conan and man, the difference with epic series like these is just TOO BIG. SAO is just a big disappointment. /drop |
