Not a lot happened then. It's like True Detective season 2, season 1 was good and season 2 is a whole lot of nothingness most of the time.

His cousin knows now.

Jack Reacher is in the tournament lol.

It sounded like Leafa's voice in the dub was different :/

ALO seems kinda boring now.

This is clearly some very realistic, believable writing.

only halfway through but i put my money on the Shinkawa guy being Death Gun. i don't how or why, but he is the culprit. The main reason for my guess would be that since SAO itself is very simplistic in nature and since Kirito doesn't know Sinon in the real world it would make us feel sorry for the Shinkawa when inevitably Sinon falls for Kirito (virtually). Of course he would still have a chance after that since he knows her physically but since it is the law of SAO for any girl who pines after Kirito will forever have unrequited love for him and as we can't sympathize with another character as a failed romantic interest, he would, without a doubt, turn out to be evil. - Q.E.D.

P.S.

This really feels like sarcasm, but as Poe states, it's really hard to fully accept, without a winking smiley or some other obvious display.

Edit:
Just finished and yeah i go all in with him turning out to be evil. he is getting way too much screen time with Sinon. Also i didn't mention this before but Bullet of Bullets is an incredibly stupid name, i'm sure i'm not the first or second one to point this out, as there's someone in this page only who mentioned it. One letter and it could have been a bit better i.e., Ballet of Bullets.

Hmm wasn't a fan of the drama, the portrayal Kiritos as a tragic chara is leaving me cold.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Let's see them pull in the other characters!

The nurse is such a good character to break up the seriousness of the show.

Friendzoned! Sorry Shinkawa-kun, but your princess is in anOther castle. LOL

At least the nurse won't be joining Kirito's harem soon...maybe. >_<

Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

After Kirito self conflicted with himself for quite some time, he managed to bypass it! Next episode everything starts, I suppose.

It's probably the best episode to focus on the characterizations of Kirito and Sinon. And the nurse speech was great.

But I think that the episode was a bit boring.

I really like how Kirito is mentally fighting his breakdown, it really helps show that SAO was and is still a big part of what makes his journey, even if he's playing other games.

I think it's personally pretty cool that Kirito is finally expressing some type of weakness - that being his mental health. I think it gives his character an extra layer of depth rather than just your typical perfect main protagonist with no problems and who is good at everything. For whatever reason I'm getting some creepy vibes from Shinkawa (Sinon's friend). Could he be Death Gun? That would be a plot twist for sure. The main BoB tournament starts next episode from the looks of it. Can't wait to keep watching to see what happens!

I'm happy to say I probably like Suguha more now.

However, I hate Kirito for not talking to Asuna about this. She was there, SAO is where he met her and she knows everything that happened. She's the one that Kirito can talk with about this.

I'm not a big fan of Sinon's friend after this episode. He was too weird at the end.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!
