| I'm glad this season is taking its time setting up the next game as well as Shino. I can understand where Shino is coming from in terms of being able to indulge in something in virtual form despite having traumatic experiences with it in reality. Only 3 episodes in and this has done more for me than the entirety of ALO. I also want to see more of Shinkawa, but that's probably because I love Hanae Natsuki's voice. |
 |
| Yet again, I'm really enjoyed this episode. I really hope SAO 2 can keep this up. They're actually properly developing characters this time. Sinon had some pretty goddamn great aim for a child. Sucks that guns traumatise her so easily in the real world :( |
| Holding gun scene 5/5 Comedic Gold Man, SAO 2 is keeping me pretty fucking entertained. |
neoalexys said: This episode was terrible, I want action not this shit. Then you will complain it's rushed later, which one will you choose though. |
| We have seen this crap already, me thinks. Only Suguha had boobs to boot. I hate this pathetic art of storywriting - there is zero need to hype Kirito more, so why is this shitty haremy stuff needed? Why does everybody need to chase his cock? If they introduce another decent male the world will stop making sense to them? Bullshit. |
skudoops said: Question for the LN people, how are in-game avatars made? By scanning the body of the user? Sort of. It doesn't scan the body per se, but it gets information about the body from the mind via the nervgear/amusphere. I think. |

There were zero harem elements in this episode and no one was chasing cock. |
 |
| Shaping up really well! Easily in top 3 this season so far. |
| Okay I understand why Sinon is afraid of guns, what I can't stand is the slow pace, it's boring as hell. The fun in the series for me is when they play ALO I'm no into GGO at all, looks boring and non-sense game to me at least who hates FPS games. |
| A Story will always come to it's end. The thing is, will you move on after it's over? |
| Another great episode. Liked Sinon back story, and that smile at the end. That guy was death gun, wasn't he ? I hope they keep it slow pace. I didn't like the fast pace in the 1st season Actually, SAO II doesn't even feel like slow pace to me. It more like normal/average pace. But SAO was fast pace. Also, I find it strange that some people complaining about the lack of action. There is plenty of action. Episode 2 was long action episode, and sinon back story in this episode had crime scene with some gun shots. What more do you need ? Only 3 episodes aired and we have plenty of action. If you want action all of the time then that would be boring. What about story ?, what about character development ? and what about investigating how death gun kill people ?. We don't need action all the time. |

HaXXspetten said: does this show *really* need a ptsd glasses girl and a fucked in the head bank robber all of a sudden I came here expecting some games and I'm still waiting for them >.< Then you should go to .hack Stuff happening IN games = .hack Stuff happening BECAUSE of games and its technology = SAO. SAO focuses more on characters and how they are affected by technology that is available to them, as well as how it all ties to the "SAO incident"(since every arc has very clear ties to events in that story) |
 |
| Nice to see Sinon history, and also Kirito is finally going into GGO! I'd like to see what will happen. I also wish to know who is this Death Gun guy. Wonder if he is someone who was already introduced. |
| Holy shit, she really killed that dude. I didn't expect anything like this from SAO. |
skudoops said: fst said: Sort of. It doesn't scan the body per se, but it gets information about the body from the mind via the nervgear/amusphere. I think. Hmm.... I guess it's like RL where your size makes you a harder target. Like in titanfall the female models are smaller than the male so it's harder to hit, but they stand out more among the bots. Personally I might have adjusted everyone to the same size (height wise), men/women have a standard size but keep their characteristics the nerve gear gathers and make a standard hitbox for both models. "Ah...wait. I bought the NERvGear just yesterday so I remember, but there was a part of the set-up... what was it called, calibration? Well anyway, during that bit it touched your body here and there, maybe it was that...?" "Ah, right......that's what it was..." Calibration was where the NERvGear measured «how much you had to move your hand to reach your body». This was done to reproduce the sense of feel accurately within the game." You can customize your avatar's face, and you can change your height as well. It's basically like every other MMO out there, only this one is VR. |

| Plot twist: The nurse is the mastermind and a pedophile. |

| We need more material, especially with Kirito light saber for more montages. |

 |
| That trauma Sinon having to gone through. Shooting the robber with his gun. Usin GGO as a therapy. Kirito going to GGO! Can't wait to see his avatar :P Sinon being on the list of targets of Death Gun. |
 |
| Hmm, interesting. Though I don't feel the villain have too good of a motive to do what he's doing, will have to see. |

Blonde Yui&Sachi. Taken from episode 1. It's pretty fun to use my hand to cover Shino's face from nose down and see Kazuto at least. I can't be the only one who's doing this. EDIT: Wait?! Blonde Sachi?! ... Alright, that's interesting... I wonder if the laziness is due to them putting too much of their time and budget into Aldnoah.Zero... Or was it deliberate? |

| O .o I feel like the guy at the end of episode 3 was Shino friend, I dunno it's probably just me, but I've seen many animes do that too often and it's just like "No surprise there". |
When in doubt, shit on a couch |

Use the artist abec's illustrations and you won't be able to replicate that. For example, take a look at the character designs for Galilei Donna. you'd be amazed how many times this studio recycled their animations. Makes you wonder how SAO would have turned out if it was animated by a different company. Sunrise? Ufotable? |

As much as I love ufotable and Sunrise, Madhouse would give the series more freedom in terms of faithfulness to animation style and adaption possibilities. The worst that can happen is it getting butchered like Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei. I have no qualms against A-1 animations though, it's actually fitting. Though I can't praise much about its execution of the series. MAdhouse ALWAYS butchers their adaptations tho. Claymore Gantz. |

| After finally getting down to watching the third episode, I am disappointed.. that Shino isn't a complete badass that doesn't take shit from anyone D: because irl she's your average kuudere or some shet which makes me sad as fuck .__. But anyways, I would like to give a few shout outs. Shout outs to robbing a post office like..WUT YOU GON ROB A POST OFFICE WITCHO FOAMING MOUTH ASS PIECE OF DICK and I would also like to give shout outs to puking in toilets. And Kirito not taking the initiative on the nurse. I'm not gonna lie, I laughed quite a few times in this episode and there was like maybe ONE part worth chuckling at. I just found the whole "serious" atmosphere to be so cheesy and just I don't even know. Like it's a fucking game, and den Kirito gon be like "I gots to leave dis Elf shit cause CAWD. And the government." And he gon do that in the game like couldn't he have told her at school or some shet or some other place that doesn't want to make me wanna laugh at such a "serious" matter? I swear the robbing scene.. Made me laugh and made me fucking hate Shino's mom like HOW YOU GON LOOK AT CHO DAUGHTER LIKE DAT WHEN SHE SAVED YO GODDAMN LIFE, YOU UNGRATEFUL BEEITCH. Over here like "ermergerd, you's a killer" like BEEITCH YOU COULDA BEEN FUCKIN DIED AND SWIMMIN IN THE DEPTHS OF HELL, YOU SACKA SHIT. Shino should been like "I SAVED YO GOT-DAMN LIFE, YOU UNGRATEFUL MALIGNANT CANCEROUS WHORE." But really, who robs a post office? I can never get over that (IDC if he cookoo in the head; it's still a damn post office). Anyways, I was a little bit disappointed in this episode. Nothing really happened. Just told us that Shino is afraid of guns like, "There you go, people. Shino is deathly afraid of guns. ONLY IRL tho" like oh ok. Hopefully it really picks up soon though, especially because I was expecting a "Take no shit and fuck shit up" kind of character with Shino but I did not get that and I'm kind of sad to be honest since it would have made up for Peach's generic ass like wut. OOPS I MEAN ASUNA HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE. Final/Random Thoughts: Shino's mom.. die pls, Shino.. barfing is not cool.. ESPECIALLY when I'm eating, Kirito.. You've been watching one too many cheesy hero shows EDIT: SHOUT OUTS TO AKG HEADPHONES even though I don't own one but someday |

Post offices in Japan have services included for withdrawing and depositing money on your account and as seen unlike banks often don't have a security guard, cuz who's guarding a post office? xD and I didn't know that. |
