Takuan_Soho said: BeatzMe said: I personally just don't care for Kirito's trauma which came just out of nowhere. I mean, he's been playing ALO for months and there, freakin' Aincard was floating right above his head, but he never really showed any sign of the past events haunting him like that. . The animation didn't cover it, but the novel did. Let's just say that the last time that Kirito saw the Laughing Coffin emblem he had almost been killed. So not only is it tied into his being a "murderer", but also it reminded him of his own mortality. Why the anime didn't cover an important event like that in the first place ? It's not like it's less important then the others. He killed 2 people. you can't ignore that like it has never happened! |
 |
| So where's Jack Reacher? |
| Glad to get see other characters instead of seeing Sinon and Kirito. Shinkawa seems very shady. This EP was a good warm up for the next one. And here comes some of the people complaining about how boring it was because there was no "action". That's my guess. |

The writing of that nurse dialogue was really bad. Apart from that, we got to see Recon 2.0/Antagonist-kun being rejected, Sinon slowly getting her PTSD fixed by Kirito's speshul mesophagery harem powers, and Sugu's sugus super worried about their onii-chan. I commend the show for attempting to adress the fiasco that was ALO, but "completely forgot about it" or nah, the inconsistency is still there. And you can't just sweep that torture scene from episode 24 under the rug and expect people to buy Kirito's trauma just like that. I think I got my hopes a tiny bit too high for this season. |

| Hmmm. this episode was kind of a building up episode to get us prepared for the upcoming battle :3 Even though there wasnt much action. at least they gave us a small break to get us all pumped up. Thats what i got out of this :3 |
 |
| I'm sorry if this has already been answered but it's late and I don't want to read through 9 pages of comments.. Here's what I'm curious about: Why is Sinon and Kirito going to fight eachother again? Didn't Kirito already win? Since they didn't meet eachother in battle until the last 2 would battle, wouldn't this tornament already have ended? What is it that I'm not understanding here NVM, I just didn't pay enough attention to episode 5. They were both finalists apparently, but finalists can enter in the main event or some shit like that even if they lost, so they can both enter. I think the "blocks" go from a to f maybe, giving us 2*6 finalists = 12. Am I right or wrong people? (btw, Kirito won the final match between him and Sinon in a qualifier, but what does that give him? They both get to enter the main event anyway!) |

| This episode was meh |
| Back to slow pace. |
| Uggg that was way too slow for me. After waiting for a week I feel very let down by the lack of any plot advancement. Just kirito feeling sorry for himself... Definitely my least favorite summer anime so far |
 |
| Could this show's pacing possibly be any slower? It's sooooooo boring |
| The fate of destruction is also the joy of rebirth |
| anybody else realize how they ripped off chrono trigger music at the beginning of the episode? |
| This episode has so many scenes that would be perfect Hentai material. The scene with Suguha and Kirito together, the scene with Asuna talking with Kirito on the phone, and the scene with the nurse and Kirito, especially. |
"You either die an Ashita no Joe, or you live long enough to see yourself become a Naruto."  |
| Ahuahauahaha Suguha saying "Onii-chan!" in Kirino Kousaka's voice I am dying as;dfas;dlkfjasfdf too cute too handle xD Ok let me calm down... whew. Ok. Well then. This episode was one of those "cliffhanger" getting things ready episodes. So... people out there who hate this... just wait till next episode before you start judging. Anyways. It was great to see more of the outside world for a change but I really did want to see more action. And that part with the nurse was a bit... unnecessary, should've been Asuna. For real. Anyways I can't wait till next episode because it'll be frickin awesome! Bullet of Bullets lets go!!! |

| that was one boring episode sinons guy friend seems to attached. I think he's trouble. |

I wonder why all the nurses must be so hot and sexually attractive -_- |

| "Want us to ambush him in some field? I can be the decoy. Or I can easily get two to three gunners." Ahahaha noob detected! Reminds me of my days playing MMOs. Player gets PK'd, gets mad, brings his friends along to take "revenge" XD! I really don't like Shinkawa. Something's off about him. He seems like the shady sort who'd resort to under-handed tactics or force if he doesn't get what he wants. Maybe he just really likes Asada but to be honest, to me, he just comes of as creepy. |

jebusD said: DeadZeroSource said: drama on this episode scores 5/5 lol .. but 3/5 for me..really slow story development on this episode, made it kinda boring... Couldn't agree more about that guy, worst desperate stalkercharacter ever. I just red the light novel just a few hours ago and made it to volume 15...don't wanna spoil much of it...since I'm a little disappointed, he's not that bad-ass anymore... Be warned! click the spoiler tab if any of guys wanna know..but I bet if you guys read the LN you already know this... |
Got something to live for, I know that I won't surrender, A warrior of youth, I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order I Am Bulletproof. . .  |
| well a good episode... had the first appearance of sugu in real world guess the story takes a turn with sugu, asuna if they join GGO enjoyed it..waiting for the next |
 |
| Friend-kun should know better than to steal from Kirito's harem. Its literally impossible. |
| Shinkawa = yandere? |

It was covered when Sinon was infodumping Kirito about the tournament. |

|
| Pretty meh ep. Looking forward to next ep though. |
 Xway101 ~By me~ |
Jack Reacher is in the tournament, lol. |
 |
| I used to ship Sinon x Kirito but this scene made me realize that Sinon needs to end up with Shinkawa I know what shall go on, I´ve read the LN´s so don´t take my spoiler as something to debate but as an expression of what I now think, I still like the series, but I h8 the stuff on the spoiler. |

novian14 said: FateHero said: Anyone else notice that balloon float by Kirito's hospital window? me, and i think it's the same red ballon from shino scene +1 Offtopic Nothing like reading the reactions to the EP plus seeing that everybody agrees on it was 3/5 and listening to one republic while drinking lemonade xD |

antonn said: Oh it's tits Sugu. Antagonist-kun got rejected, one does not simply poach from Kirito's harem. +1 Nurse to the harem. xD It is easier to get in XD |

AppoX said: Shinkawa is so screwed because Sinon already entered the orbit of Kirito's dick. Ahh I really don't want Sinon to be another pointless harem member of Kirito.... She is actually a good character(the only one in this damn series) I hope Shinkawa gets his stuff together and hires Death Gun to kill Kirito so he can have Sinon for himself, or you know, be less persistent and try to get the girl by other means than asking 'I really liek u so, please, plox be mein kanojo'. Not that this series is realistic in the way of getting a girlfriend since the main character got a football team of girlfriend candidates already and is still getting more by simply having the mass of his dick so huge that its gravitational field attracts every single female object in the damn universe of this anime. I hope they will explain the theoretical physics and the forces active in the whole scientific process of attracting female life forms in the realms of Kirito's dick. I really love scientific anime like this. 11/10 anime of the century. This anime is very similar to Steins; Gate in the way of a scientist protagonist who develops a very useful technology. In Steins Gate it was time-travel seehningans, but here Kirito really outdone all other competition, he developed an artifical gravitational field! Not just normal gravity, no, it attracts everything that is feminine. Even such tight girls like Sinon fall to his cutting-edge technology without trouble! Steins gate sucks, this is the new scientist anime of the century. I love how everything is explained scientifically. Kirito also reminded me of Lelouch because of his tactical prowess, he uses SWORDS in a shooter?! Damn his enemies wont expect that, this completly turns the tide in his favour in every engagement. Kirito is the most intelligent protagonist ever, and he ain't 'asspull' intelligent either! He achieved his intelligence by his sheer will and determination. You win the internet, a song from One Republic and a city of Ukraine I´ve just given 2 not counting yours feel proud of you and your nation |

SetsukoHara said: Felt like watching some Mexican soap opera. The writing of that nurse dialogue was really bad. Nice job A-1 with that balloon parallel, unfortunately, those 2 PTSD subplots are executed in a mediocre way. Seems you´ve never seen one I´ve seen lots of them My mother ended up switching channel to Televisa And they´re basically like the same fucking story with different actors They´re worse Way worse than the worst anime you´ve ever seen Mexican voice actually sounds like if they actually cared... And they talked like if they had a potato in the mouth. |

Repeat to ya... Seems you´ve never seen one...... They are literaly worst than the worst anime you can come up with The worst part is that people watch them as if they were the dick of god Please Don´t bring the greatest failure of Mexico after loosing Texas and loosing Porfirio Díaz to this tread |

zxien said: anybody else realize how they ripped off chrono trigger music at the beginning of the episode? If you mean "Millennial Fair" the melodies are different but I understand how you got that vibe because they both were made based on fast waltz, both use accordion instrument. In SAO2's case it's more like a solo accordion, while CT also use piccolo to play main melody. |
| Like 20 mins of boring uninteresting stuff and some melodrama. Also Sinion is kinda a bitch don't understand why she doesnt just shut the guy down so he can move on. Pretty sure hes the main villian anyways so I'm sure that's why she won't just go with him plus Kirito needs another fangirl. |
Shuhan said: This nigga needs to stop crying all the time He should use the nurse ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
|
| I'm really liking how this season transitions between RL and GGO quite often, it keeps things fresh. Shinkawa is rather annoying, and Shino even seemed to be kind of creeped out by him, lol. Looking forward to the next episode! |
| Shinkawa is quite irritating there. pakoko said: Thanks for pointing that out. I couldn't word it out how he's not a likable character. Somehow when he waved bye to Sinon there at GGO, i almost thought he will do an evil laugh or something...but nothing happen. Hmmm no idea why the scene are all so dragged out.He's not charismatic at all and he's clingy. |
| I'm not that impressed thus far to be honest : I guess I was just hoping for this to build more upon the already established characters, and I kind of find Sinon un-interesting :P Hopefully the next arc will be better :I |
 |
| Well we got to see Suguha outside of ALO. Kirito is so lucky have a nurse like that. The tournament is about to begin and I cannot wait for it. Great episode!!! |
