Vocah said: I don't get the love for Sinon Think back about every female character we had so far, and you will get it. For me, she has more to her personality than all of female characters shown so far combined. On topic: Just wow.. Dunno about others, but I am gonna give SAO another chance. This season has the potential, a big one. And this time, there is a big chance it won't be wasted like it was last time. I read LN long time ago, so I am not really sure, but if I remember correctly, story part of it is great. Anyway 5/5 |

Phaetons_Folly said: I loved this episode for its exciting action, but personally feel disappointed at the game. The tactics they used were extremely basic, when it looks like it is the kind of game where tactics is everything. People look easy to kill so even a high leveled player can be taken down by lower leveled people if they out think them. This episode would have been much cooler if the combat was modeled after first person shooters you see now. Quick movements to cover, quick shots from cover, parkour over terrain, communication between players. There is no reason they can't make the show feel like a shooter game. Except that apart from CODUTY none of true FPS games(planetside, UT, Battlefield) focus on mashing movement keys. And parkour is titanfail gimmick and we all know that one bombed.

R32 said: Let's put it simply, she got more screen time than all the other girls combined.Vocah said: I don't get the love for Sinon I'm with you. I still don't get it. Maybe that's not true, but what's true is this, she had almost an entire episode dedicated to her without Kirito around, and without her talking about Kirito to someone else. In short, the show focused on someone other than Kirito for more than 15 minutes. |
|
| Screen time hasn't really changed my opinion about her. The more the show followed her the less I liked her. |
R32 said: Then there's something in her character that you don't like. Because normally, the more focus and screen time a character is given the more likable they become.Screen time hasn't really changed my opinion about her. The more the show followed her the less I liked her. |

R32 said: Screen time hasn't really changed my opinion about her. The more the show followed her the less I liked her. Any specific reason? So far I didn't see anything in her that could make dislike her. Then again, I don't see anything in particular that could make me like her either. It's too soon to judge for now. |

It's too soon to judge for now. Maybe it is too soon. I can't quite pinpoint why I don't like her, maybe what really set me off is the cliché "I must get stronger." line. But that was at the very end despite me not liking her throughout the entire episode. Could be that laid back attitude she has, for being a "top sniper." I'm not asking for cockiness though. Take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. I'll withhold my judgement until we dive deeper into who she is. |

Take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. I'll withhold my judgement until we dive deeper into who she is. Well, yeah, it is indeed too soon. She's been introduced just recently, so I'd like to give her some time before judging. So far, though, there's really nothing bothering me in particular. From the prospective of someone who didn't read the light novels, I'd assume she has a complete opposite attitude in real-life, or at least she's not as extrovert as she appears in the game. That's just my assumption, though. |

| Well it is to be expected, Except 1 bullet all those shots missed Sinnon. I'm glad that they focused an entire ep (except the last 2-3 mins) on someone other than Kirito. Well this cleared up any doubt of Sinnon being Asuna (My friend just doesn't listen to me...). And in the ending, why the hell does Kirito have a lightsaber??? Seriously, this is GGO, so it should be guns |

| I like how her outfit is gonna make release a lot of good doujinshis. That said, the animations were pretty good. I still don't understand why they were so scared of dying in the game if they knew they wouldn't die but whatever. Tentacle rape at the end? Oh, now you're acting like your previous season. |

They would but then again it would still be hard to start over, and it will probably cost them money and/or they'll have money issues irl if GGO is their only source of income (when they start over they won't be making much until they get strong enough again). Not much. You? |

| The biggest mystery for me so far... What is it about Sinon's butt that everyone kept going nuts over?!?! I don't know about you guys, but so far in SAO... Sinon have, imo, by far, the most unappealing butt out of every single female character introduced!!!! The hip ratio is not there, it's not particularly curvy... It's just... Lean, and that's it. Wtf? |

If that were the case though I'd feel bad for anyone who has to see a close up of some old lady :0 |

| Hmm... I'm not much for gun battles. I love swords, martial arts, and melee. Not too sure about this season. Behemoth was kind of hot. However, I'm sure the real Behemoth was some 9-year-old kid sneaking in play well past his bedtime. Sent with Mal Updater |

Can't wait to see Kirito in action. Man, Sinon is awesome... and about Behemoth  |

| Ohmigod, can they just cut out those forced ass and tit shots? I love Miyuki Sawashiro but I honestly don't give a shit about Sinon's character so far. I'm loving her role in Gekkan Shoujo though! <3 Anyway, episode was too battle-focused. Needed a bit of balance tbh |
ravagestorm said: Meh. This is ridiculous. Why didn't Sinon inform her teammates about that minigun dude when she can communicate with her teammates through radio? Why did Sinon leave the sniper's nest and went near the enemy when she has a long range sniper rifle? Sheesh. And they hype her as the best sniper in the game. Mini gun guy can see the path of her shot. Wasn't that obvious? She wouldn't be able to hit him. |
| The purpose of this episode was obviously too show how good Sinon is. Ok episode that's it. |

night97 said: 1. in this episode... people who don't know how to play FPS game 2. has grenade -> runs straight into enemy fire 3. has sniper -> only shoots 2 shots while 1500 meters away even though enemies are all in open areas 4. enemies hiding behind wall -> everyone let's shoot "suppressive fire" and waste everyone's ammo even though you only need 1 guy shooting to suppress one guy 5. behemoth is shooting a minigun with his entire body open -> no one shoots back because we all know how fast a person can aim and fire with a minigun 6. it's a game -> cowboy guy is a pussy 7. behemoth is a player (human reaction times) -> can dodge sniper-scoped shots -> hacks? literally put any decent FPS player in this game and he can become the top FPS player in the game bcuz apparent sinon is a "top sniper" Near future and a VRMMO. Skills including things like dexterity, weapon accuracy etc. You really didn't think before you posted. |

| A pretty uninspiring episode with a very predictable template-like plot. Being scared to die in a game is just prepostrous. If it's about penalties or losing real life income (if they earn it by playing the game), they should act in a more rational fashion (not "i dont wanna die *teary eyes*"). |

cabacc2 said: It makes no sense that Sinon stops to go for the kills after the fat guy dodged one time. That doesnt mean that the others are able to do so. Especially when they are busy dealing with Sinons squad. She should have continued to take them out. Yes they can.Less weight, no penalty and the other guy can pin her squad down as was shown since they cant use cover effectively against him. The bullet took more than one sec to reach him.That is more than enough for anyone to dodge by just leaning to the left or right. Oh and she wanted to go kill that guy herself so even if she could kill them she wouldnt waste her time. |
