Unlucky-kat said: Zombiespire said: I completely liked the episode, but there's just one thing that bugs me, but doesn't take anything from the show. The character Sinon is currently on the side of player hunters, or as I like to call, Professional Gankers. And if you have ever played DayZ or any PvP MMO that includes this, you know those guys are dicks. Just not a fan of those guys. This is some explanation that the anime missed. Don't know if it will be explained or not so i'll add a spoiler tag. That will probably be explained in one of the episodes, should be spoiler tagged. Edit: He spoiler tagged it. |

therandomestguy said: That will probably be explained in one the episodes, should be spoiler tagged. Done. I just wasn't sure if I should've. skudoops said: Unlucky-kat said: He is an experienced guy so he can easily dodge all of her shots from afar. So she needs to get so close that he simply don't have time to dodge, she used the fact that he simply can't point it straight up. Giving her time to get close. It was all planed but the anime missed that part. Ah so the plan was just something A-1 left off? Ok then. yes, as per protocol by A-1 dynamitMC said: The AI of the monsters is indeed terrible. That thing at the beginning just stood there while slowly being killed by Sinon xD I like Sinon though, a new interesting character. The monster simply couldn't reach her and the ai probably didn't have a script for such situation. |

| Shino was awesome! Sawashiro Miyuki did a great job <3 I also loved the OST in this ep! |
| I fell in love with Shinon this episode... Could be cause of the voice. (Inaban kya!) She is so freaking cool. I can't wait to learn more about her. I was a die-hard Asuna fan, but wow, I didn't expect Shinon to capture my heart like this... Can't wait for next week! Hehe, tentacle rape ftw. On a side note, Kirito looked really hot at the end there. >///> |
| Tbh I prefered the Sinon & The Gang action over the colorful elf-eared ALO at the end of the episode. Sinon is a cool character, but she would've been better without the fanservice shots on her. Oh well, I imagine every character with female reproduction organs and breasts needs to get a fanservice shot. AND SHE WOULD'VE BEEN SO GREAT WITHOUT IT |
| I loved this ep! I hope they will keep up with quality like this till the end. |
 |
| i realy like the guns and the atmosphere of the battle grounds, that headshot and the end was amazing |
 |
| I see that some people still think that it is cool to complain about everything....sigh Lets hope that next time Sinon's dev/background wont be cut for "reasons". |
| it seems that now, Kirito isn't the broken one xD C'mon, that headshot by Sinon was ridiculous (but damn awesome). Heck, Sinon herself is bloody awesome. Hope GGO stays this way. |
 |
| Ok, so i can already say that i like Sinon more than every other girl i saw in SAO.Sawashiro Miyuki as her seiyuu adds a gigantic plus too.Good episode in overall, much better than first. |

adaw31 said: Actually it kind of was mentioned, the first guy that died was saying how if Shinon screws up he'll buy the 60 seconds necessary time for her to change her location.Yeah thats probably 1 of the few things that were left out. Think of it as tgat detail which if they put every single detail in, it'll make the show go on for an extra 10 episodes of every scene explaining stuff to the very dust. |
 |
| Damn, that was cool. I am glad that they dedicated a whole episode to just Sinon's battle. Does anyone know if it's Yuki Kajiura that is composing the soundtrack? Sounded like Kajiuran to me. |
| Missing the times of Rewrite, good times. |
| Smiling while playing an MMO is serious business. |
| Late to join but, I thought this was a good follow up to the first episode. A nice feel to Shinon, as she is new and we know the others a lot better. The whole scene had me sitting at the edge of my seat, I actually felt I was a part of the battle! Plus the graphics are good, especially when we get to see how the characters perceive GGO. I do wonder what Kirito is planning in his head, and what he thinks is happening. |
| You may think that I'm crazy, but my reality is just different from yours. |
| Very good animation, great action scenes and a story that is taking it's time to develop things. Sinon seems like she'll be a good character. Me likes. The only thing that I thought a bit meh was the short tentacle interlude we had at the end. Hope there's not too much of that. |

| We all know Sinon is best girl,everyone else is just filler now,even Asuna. But lol,Kirito's harem getting jealous over his wife. |
| That Behemoth guy was way too passionate with that gun of his |
| We're not going to see anything good until episode 5, because I assume episode 3 will be Sinon IRL and episode 4 with be Kirito's introduction to GGO... lame. |
| How do people get to 2000 hours when I'm already this bored? |
| I feel like the role of female characters will give a lot of unnecessary fanservice, but hopefully lessons have been learned from last season and they won't go that route. The sniper character, Sinon, seems somewhat over-powered, but I have to admit that I'm quite fascinated by her in real life, since she seems to be weaker? than she is in the game. If SAO plays with the different sides of her, in game and in real life, that would be very interesting! I haven't read the light novels, so I have no idea where this is going to go ^^' That's a very fascinating theory, Taisho-san! |

| I loved this episode, probably b/c there was more of Sinon and less of Kirito and Asuna. It's too soon to judge, but I like Sinon so far. I see her less likely to become one of those girls completely fascinated with Kirito. She's too serious for that. |

Taisho-san said: Here's my theory: Sinon is really depressed because she lost her little sister in the SAO incident. If you noticed in the OP and ED, in the OP there's a ghost of a little girl standing next to Sinon when she's on the swing, then she disappears after her GGO avatar appears. In the ED, it shows Sinon really down and depressed, laying on her desk, just going limp, etc. etc. It also shows her holding hands with a little girl, and then she disappears and the triangle things shower over where she was. This is just a theory, but it seems like it could be true, right? Credit to my friend Bobby, who doesn't have an account. Sorry to tell you but your theory didn't quite hit the mark :p (I read the light novel). |
| Memories may fade, but that doesn't mean there isn't any point in making them. |
| I'm guessing Kirito will finally move this arse into the game :D? I wanna see Kirito in action! Heroine of this season seems to be also quite intriguing. |
 |
| Pretty neat. They showed the new character and the new game in just one episode. |
| Sinon is such a boss!!! Much wow. Its always great to see Kirito and Asuna together with Yui again :D Ahhh Yui-chan kawaii! Oh and to see the other 3 girls left out because Kirito has Asuna is a bit saddening but thats how life works. Hopefully after Kirito has that serious talk with Asuna he'll meet Sinon. They might fight at first because everyone always doubts how strong Kirito is and I love that. I love how he ends up beating them because everyone always underestimates him. 5/5 for this nice episode. Sucks to be that minigun fatty. Hope to see more action like this next episode xD |

| Some fantastic animation, that was engaging. Can't wait to see Kirito take a lightsaber to some gun battles. |
 |
| Another slow paced episode but unlike the first one, this was executed very well. I'm not really digging into this Simon chick as she's portrayed as the Squall type of character from FF but it isn't working; but she's probably the best female in the series so far. Well I'm just waiting for her to be put onto Kiritos harem list and damn there was no need for the tentacles or for Asuna 😓. . . 3/5 |
"Hi!" |
| Ya that purple saber in the OP looks amazing. I hope the guy with the mustache isnt supposed to be a main character. Dont care for his crew as much as shinon. I think its cool how they can see the bullets' trajectories before they hit. Like how minigun dude was able to dodge sniper bullets. |
~my listskudoops said: Oh btw, what's the death penalty in this game? They may have mentioned it in the first episode, but I can't really remember. I only remember that you can get real money from the game. You have chance to drop the stuff you are carrying. So if you are using really rare guns like sinon's then you might lose it. |
|
| You know, when they leave out all the forced romance, this series is actually... good. |
LastChapter said: Gotta say, loved the badassery of Sinon in this episode. But what I love the most in this episode though were the guns, the designs especially were well made. I especially love the black and dark blue GGO menu screen. We also get to see more ALO adventures with the main crew, and Silica gets tentacle raped again. Didn't remember that in the light novels. Sinon FTW and tentacles... xP Had to have tentacles it isn't an anime if there aren't tentacles. lol |

| If I leave out last 3 minutes, it was quite good episode. |
