The only thing that mostly bothered me were the character designs, the difference between the fodder and our cast is just jarring 0_o

Oh and I forgot how every male character besides OUR ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD KIRITO!!! is a complete creep that oogles at the prospect of a girl.

3/5 - not awful

Hahaha, glad to see Kirito always finds way to entertain us, even against his will. Kawai <3

Gotta say, GGO looks interesting as a game.

best episode so far, i just wish it was longer ;_;

Here's a question for you guys: Why doesn't Kirito cut off his hair with his light saber after Sinon finds out that he's a trap? Or is it a set avatar?

SAO II starts to get the hang of it. I love its pacing, it is really better than the first. Can not wait for next week and till Shino finds out that Kirito actually is a guy. I am really pleased.

This is the first episode where the pacing felt really off for me. It was like watching 2 robots play a boring game for 20 minutes. Where's the interaction between Kirito and Sinon? Only two semi-relevant things happened between them: Sinon expressed her knowledge of guns (in a very boring way) and Kirito hinted at his gaming past.
The rest was just exposition that should have been done in half the time.
Maybe it was just me, but even the transitions between scenes and camera angles felt awkward and slow. Also, the animation in the dodging game was underwhelming and there were at least 3 instances when the show became a "powerpoint presentation".
I liked the scene at the end, because it finally reintroduced tension and the characters showed emotion.

Sorry for asking our praised GAMING GOD to be a compelling flawed character.
1. As said multiple times the casino game requires skills and stats he's been gaining and developing for years.
2. He totally sucked at using a gun, which is something he's trying for the first time.

Pretty good episode overall.

Fuck it. I must admit, this episode turned me into a fan and not a hater. Tried finding something I disliked but couldn't. Probably due to this being a MMO based anime.. FUCK IT COME ON HUMANITY AND GIVE US A NERVE GEAR!

*cough* Going back on topic, I regret giving this a 3/5, I'll boost it to a 4/5.. I must admit I still dislike Sinon but if trapito was the MC for SAO I'd like it more. Cmon, gender benders has got to be one of the top genres. Sucks we're only into episode 4 though and I hope the pacing gets to a decent pace. As good as the season has started, it doesn't compete with Terror in Tokyo in my opinion.

Having spent every day of 2 years risking his life against such "games", it isn't surprising that he has a far better grasp of them then players who have only been playing six months (not to mention haven't had to risk their lives to play it).
Those two years were quite the ride. We saw Kirito being beat up left and right after he was trying to solo a few floors which were overwhelming even for an overleveled player. He started learning patterns, aggro ranges, animation build ups to a move, elemental defenses, elemental damage, area of effect, area denial, positioning, skill management. But despite that a solo player is still overrun by smaller mobs even if they are lower levels. Later on Asuna joined him and showed him the benefit of teamwork and over two years, many preparations, many recons, many raids over time they are slowly progressing despite their losses. Kirito started to see that people can work together and can be pleasant to talk to. He doesn't care just about games anymore, but the people with him, his new family, his FRIENDS. Despite being trapped in another world which is far more likely to have him killed, he saw the worst and the best out of people, and most importantly, himself... ah, those were the days.

I may be remembering that wrong tho.

I'm really into the character builds and stuff when playing rpg games, so this episode is just what the doctor ordered. It ended too soon man... can't wait for the next one!

On another note, we know Sinon joined GGO for a reason that is far away from fun, it's great then to see her putting her guard down and enjoying herself for once.

Solid infodump episode xp...

But seriously, I think they handled the infodump really well. Didn't get bored at all and it was really interesting learning the mechanics of the game.

I smiled at the part where Kirito lied to Shinon about his gender haha... I wonder what Shinon'll do to him when she finds out he's a guy, haha. I bet she'll try to kill him.

Laughed a bit at the part where those Light Saber weapons were called every other name except a lightsaber, haha... Photon sword, energy sword, beam sabers, laser blades, yes, but not lightsaber, haha...

btw, that cowboy NPC's English was one of the least awkward sounding of all anime characters I've heard so far xp...no offense to the Japanese Seiyuus, but they usually sound retarded when they speak english -_-

Nothing much to complain about, really. SAO 2 is turning out quite well. Noticed they used a couple still frames, but not gonna complain xp... this episode wasn't really intended for action anyway... Well, Pacing does seem a bit slow, but it doesn't really matter to me either since I didn't get bored.

I expect great things in the next episodes :)

Good ep. About time Kirito is in GGO. Man he should have just said he was a guy to Shino but I guess it will be fuel for something later. Talk about fast he already showing he is far too good at learning the basics of the game so fast.


With how all the guys were hitting on him, I think he probably thought (and would have maybe been right?) that if he revealed he was a guy right away, she would just think he was hitting on her and ignored him. The gender discrepancy in GGO is way higher then in something like ALO.

LOL Kirito totally misled her as being a girl.

Anyways it seems he was looking at the Game Machines eyes when it was shooting bullets. That Laser shotgun in the end was hax tho.

And finally, Kirito brings a sword to a Gunfight, though using a handgun for support kinda makes that point less salient. Heh.

Wow, so little unconditional hate here impressed me.
I came here to see flame war and I see almost only reasonable people
who understand how this industry and marketing works.

I guess fuel run out during great SAO wars in it's forum section long time ago.

It was a good episode and yes, Kirito is portrait almost as god,
but they counter-weight it well with him sucking at using gun. And that's nice.
I much rather prefer this kind of protagonist than generic high-school boy pacifist
who can't notice anything around him.
Trap was funny, I could almost hear admiral Ackbar shouting 'It's a trap!'.
Question here for those who read the novel (Please answer in spoiler): When does Shino find out about Kirito being a guy?
Or maybe she noticed at the very end of this episode when she grabbed Kirito's chest?
Also, english speaking guy from the shooting game reminded me of the guy from 'Big Shot' program in Cowboy Bebop.
I see a lot of effort put into this series so far.

With that trap in mind I fear what will come out on next Comiket,
Instead of cute Silica we will get Kirito rape traps all around... Oh great goddess, save us!

So why was he able to drive the buggy easily? I could understand how he beat the game because when sinon explained how it worked I already thought that relying on the predictive lines was what caused players to lose and I predicted he might have used a slide. Maybe I missed something but that scene hinted that there was a reason he was able to drive the buggy well, but I don't know what it is.

Also lol @ this pretending to be a girl, so many guys do that in MMOs it's hilarious.
