| Sinon will face much worse trauma after episode 12. So hold your horses and watch ! |
| So Asada bit and shot a robber 3 times, that was pretty brave of a little kid and now she's scared of guns in the real world. I kinda get it but still ... at same time, if she was that scared of them she wouldn't have touched it as a kid but knew it was needed. Yet she plays GGO to get over that fear and she's fine using guns in that but still not in the real world, that's also kinda odd. "okay hot stuff, strip" - that was hilarious as was her feeling Kirito up lol. |

| So we learn a bit about Sinon's past which was pretty tragic, but also kinda cool. She really shouldn't be that afraid of guns now though, I mean she did nothing wrong. |
| Hmmm.. They say that sometimes they can't tell the difference between the real world and virtual world in SAO. Like it feels so real and shiii~ So why the fuck can she hold the gun in the game without going apeshit, but can't do that in the real world? |
| So Sinon killed the robber, but seems that even her mom got scared of her =/ She is suffering a lot of bully...if the OP was a hint we kinda know that Sinon's kind friend it's Death Gun... |
 |
| I don't really think that we would get straight and obvious hint from the first episodes about death gun's identity.. Yet i think that if Person is young irl maybe he also is young in-game? But I don't know much.. Well a child shooting a person.. That's a terrible thing for a child :/ No wonder her reactions were so panicking.. And that woman also looked kinda suspicious.. :))) |
| Lol what a cute nurse. |
 |
| "If there's even a one percent chance that Death Gun can kill people in real life, I have to take it as an absolute certainty!" |
 |
| Well now. That was intense. I wonder what happened to her mom... she looked terrified to see her daughter shooting a full grown burglar man lol |
| I have to agree in some parts it WAS a bit forced imho but I can go with that |
 |
| I knew I wouldn't be satisfied with Asadas flashback xD and to top it of the mobbing. The other thing I can't really overlook is that the goverment assigned Kirito with the task to go after Death Gun.. aside from that the rest is ok. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Gun trauma huh? The adults in the post office (I thought it was a bank) were pretty useless though the first one that got shot was an employee from there. Anyway, that guy must be pretty jacked up in drugs or something to be able to move that much after being shot twice. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| im guessing the person she shot survived and is the death gun guy |
| This was a fairly good way to emphasize her personality. |
| Aki just grabbed Kazuto Ass (what a naughty nurse) lol Aki is disappointed cause Kazuto refused to fully strip (she even had disappointed face & voice) lol just before Kazuto went in Aki should have said a Joke: while u are in i will be violating ur body lol PrOxAnto said: Mother is scared even though her kid just saved EVERYONE in the bank. Sure it's scary seeing your kid kill a man at that age, but no reason to leave her or despise her (At least that's what Im getting from it) Anyhow, let GGO begin for Kirito ! Kokoro_Inuzuka said: Well now. That was intense. I wonder what happened to her mom... she looked terrified to see her daughter shooting a full grown burglar man lol her face was like u monster, that what her face said & i was like WTF she saves u & new u see her as monster, what kind of a trash mother u are poor Shino Gator said: So we learn a bit about Sinon's past which was pretty tragic, but also kinda cool. She really shouldn't be that afraid of guns now though, I mean she did nothing wrong. but mother face told her something else what i said above, that made it worse for her, so basically its mothers fault her trauma is so big |

| So, two things I like so far: First, I like the idea of virtual reality as therapy being used for story purposes. I don't think I've ever seen that explored before in anime, so it's cool to see. Second, I like Kirito talking to Asuna about GGO. At first, I thought he was going to hide his intentions for whatever the reason, but continuing from the first season, they're still a couple, so it's nice that they're close enough that they can consult with each other like this. Beyond these two points, it has felt like build up so far, as it took three episodes for Kirito to finally enter GGO. Though, at the current moment, I feel Yuki Kajiura is being underutilized a tad. The battle in the previous episode wasn't really as dramatic as it made itself out to be, as no one was at risk of actually dying or anything. Sinon's team were bickering and yelling at each other for a moment, and that along with the heroic sacrifice and that last showdown felt...odd. It didn't feel to be that grand, yet I believe that was Kalafina singing to what felt to be a relatively inconsequential battle. I think they should have saved that OST for a more climatic fight, rather than a one-off battle in the show's introduction. Oh, and every girl seems to still want into Kirito's pants. It's been a couple years since I've watched the first season, so I forgot about that. |
| Sinon's backstory was really tragic. I don't blame her for having gun trauma in real life. Finally, Kirito has entered the GGO. I like the idea of virtual reality as therapy being used for story purposes. It seems that the arc has just started. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Have never read the novel or seen any spoiler, but this episode make it really obvious that friend of Sinon is obviously the killer. Even the opening song make it even more obvious. |
| oH PLEASE, was that a rapey face at the end? |
 Don't forget this scene will happen IRL..our real life..Sinon 11 years old now.. Source: https://swordartonline.fandom.com/wiki/Sword_Art_Online_Timeline |
| Looks like Sinon has a lot of depth which is really nice to see. They are finally putting a focus on someone else rather than just Kirito and Asuna. We got a backstory as to why Sinon has trauma when seeing a gun in real life. I also found the ending makes more sense after seeing this episode. Sinon in the game and Sinon in real life are like polar opposites. Death gun is targeting Sinon next apparantly? Wonder what will happen from here. Much better anime so far than in season 1! |
| That was the lowest of the low these scumbags are losers for using her trauma to gain money from Shino I think the best girl would be (Femboy Kirito) the nurse |
  |
| Oh no, Sinon. That backstory though, were those guys at the office and her mother dumb?? That annoyed me so much, lol. Kirito finally left ALO!! It's time for GGO Kirito. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| From a not so loveable epsidoe that was episode 2 to a great episode 3. Now this is good. Damn, I can’t believe Shino had to go through that. And the face that her mother made. The absolute worst face to make - looking at your down as if she's a monster. Like bruh, she just saved all your a**es and YOUR life too. Still though, I'm surprised that after the incident, a therapist wasn't assigned to her. She had to deal with it alone, at least from what we've seen so far. This was definitely different. From memory (don't trust me that), I don't think we've seen so much blood in SAO. Anyway, I'm hope Shino can get over her trauma somehow. Seeing Kirito, Asuna, and Yuu together was still great. |
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load. |
| yeah the bullies are there to make the viewer hate them and get mad but im mad and i hate them |

NERDforeverNF said: made me drop the series Well, u will miss Alicization........ Here's a suggestion, that might help if u consider it as one..... •Just skip Season 2 till episode 18,, •Start from the episode titled "Zekken"< it's episode 18/19 of s2, as it starts the <<Mother's Rosario>> arc which is not long. •Then watch SAO ORDINAL SCALE •Then <<Alicization>> which is 47eps long, although could've been longer if the studio didn't cut stuff. •Then u r good to go with <<Unital Ring>> U might not fully understand Alicization as you haven't seen Phantom Bullets and feel like it's plot hole, but u can come back and check later......But if you skip Mother's Rosario arc, that would ruin Alicization for you. |
| Please watch Sword Art Online Progressive, it's the peak of SAO. |
| So, there were how many adults in that place? And literally nobody decided to get a hold of the guy after he was struggling with a fucking kid for a gun? Amazing. |
| Pretend there's something flashy and cool here. |
| Asunua with blue hair honestly looks weird to me but she looks good in it |
