Fai said: Satan-sama said: SAO II up to this episode is really great but Asuna keeps bothering me, I mean why did she head to the hospital ? that won't change anything. Yui, that bitch, I hate when she says papa and mama referring to Kirito and Asuna, that really makes me sick :D Anyway, so Kirito can't remember DG's real name because he actually didn't tell him about it, good to know that Kirito isn't a monster. She possibly made same conclusion that Death Gun has accomplices, so it makes sense to be there to ensure no one is trying to kill his body. I wish DG's accomplices (If he has ones) just go there and finish her off instead of Kirito, that'd be awesome :D Fai said: Maledict said: My god, another 10 minutes wasted in that cave, plus the "fight" was mostly trash talk from Kirito and DG. This show is the exact opposite of Tokyo Ghoul, not sure whether for better or for worse. 3/5, i'm hoping the GGO arc gets resolved soon. Considering Tokyo Ghoul is forever loathed for rushing through shit, I'd say its just problem of your taste being bad or you being unable to pa attention. Yeah, I finished the manga, I can tell that they just adapted 10% of it. they almost skipped everything. |

| at like the 2 or 3 episode mark, i had pretty low expectations. The recent episodes have actually surprised me and raised the bar a little, despite how cheesy some parts were. That showdown between kirito, simon, and the #1 player was really good. Also, right after, the duel between kiroto and death gun is getting good, as well. I'm actually looking forward to episode 13! |
 |
| Oh, hey. Sinon's not breaking down anymore. That's good. |
| This must be boring for the people watching the tournament. "They've just been standing there for like, 5 minutes and they're not even talking loud enough for us to hear them." |
| Finally a good episode compared to the previous ones. |
 |
| I know people complain about the pacing being to slow but I like it very much and its good. Very intense episode cannot wait to see everything go down next week. |

| Holy shit, this B.o.B. is dragging so hard. I thought we'll have a new game or at least a new arc with episode 13 ... |
| Badass Kirito. SAO II is pretty good so far. |

| Kirito having a hard time against Death Gun. He cannot even hit him. Looking forward to their battle next week. |

| Too much talking, not enough fighting. The drama is way too cheesy. These writers are horrible because even the fighting is boring. Season 2 is extremely overrated and wouldn't even be good if it wasn't an anime based on MMO's or SAO franchise. |
| Season's halfway point! |
 |
| Darn. B.O.B hasn't ended yet. Since the first half is again so long, I'm worried now that the second half will be too rushed like last season. Oh well, at least it built up the intensity well. |
| Great episode, and damn people still not getting that SAO ISN'T, and NEVER WAS about action are... Well. I don't know, I don't even understand it, the only good action scenes in S1 are pretty much at the climax and that's it, it should be a big enough clue that you are not supposed to watch the show only for this. Also, more talking than action = bad? Wtf is this logic? Also, this is a good thing that Asuna will finally be useful, it's been a really, really long time. Even if I like Shinon a lot more, she still have her right to shine. Shinon being a badass again and trying to get over it, but realistically (= she's not suddenly perfect and everything, she still have her doubts about herself) was really, really cool. Also, Kirito getting his ass kicked by something else than a f*cking game master deserves a mention. I don't remember it happening a lot, if this happened at all. Maybe in s1 against Heathcliff, since he apparently didn't need "this" to move so fast, but that's it. |

| Now that was what I wanted, more fighting and less talking (even though half of the episode was still talking) Death Gun's sniper rifle is very op if it literally cut a building in half and almost crushed Dark Wind. That scene where the two bullets were coming at each other, I was sure they would collide and Death Gun's would split her's in half. The epic ending of Kirito getting slashed up, let's see if he survives (which is pretty obvious) Isn't the next arc like back in the Alfheim world or something? |

We still don't know what they will adapt next, right? (or did I miss something?) Mother's rosario is a strong possibility, the caliber side story is another one. It's more or less sure that the next one is in ALO in ANY case though. |
| The face when Asuna saw Kirito´s avatar was funny, she was like WTF! xD Overall good episode, can´t wait for the next one. |
| Shouldn't at this distance (a few mm at most) the bigger bullets shock wave throw the smaller bullet completely of course? Especially given the distance between the two bullets meeting and the impact, which still was several hundred meters probably. At the very least, it should move the smaller bullet way more than the bigger one. Given this, Death Gun, who is somehow proficent at everything and has access to all kinds of gadgets, would have hit Sinon in the head despite only noticing her when the trajectory was displayed, while Sinon, who is the most reknown sniper on the server with the best sniper rifle (?) there is in the game, who also was prepared for Death Gun to appear and started aiming first would most likely still only have hit the weapon. If they need to make Death Gun op, why don't they let him stay stealthed for the first shot or so (actually, wasn't he stealthed before when firing?), but while looking cool, the whole thing was kinda stupid. -- About the hospital: So they have him there so they are able to watch him, but the nurse doesn't know much about the situation? His heart rate raises and she is clueless? I mean, she can't know it given she didn't have a live feed or anything, but shouldn't they have had one in the first place? And someone who is familiar with the situation and full-dive games in the room who is watching the feed and interpreting Kirito's real life reactions, just like Asuna did? So basically Seijirou? -- Also: "sterben" means "to die" as noted before. And of course it's used in hospitals and stuff, i mean, people die there, you have to talk about it. But it's not like it would be any kind of special medical vocabular. Still wonder about the many ways the Japanese try to integrate random German stuff (90% of the time just words, but often enough characters with German origin etc.) into anime... |

| I'm not sure about it being this easy. The way I saw it, we should probably assume that the bullet didn't touch each other but just perfectly grazed each other and that's it, it's also more "spectacular" and cliche this way so I think that's what they intended About the "biggest bullet" thing, shouldn't the speed also come into account if we're thinking about the strenght that should move the other bullet ? Just asking, I think that since we're talking about force it may count as well, could be important into this calculation as well but I'm not sure about it |
| The series is finally picking up its pace, hope it stays this way and doesn't pull an ALO. |

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. . .  |
| It was a good episode. So far I'm finding GGO to be way more enjoyable than the first season. That being said, after episode 12, I begin to smell a DEM ending coming.. Hope I'm wrong. |
| is it just me or is death gun's voice is a bit different? |
| That one moment when the bullets went all matrix was epic. I'm just guessing but... If Kirito doesn't know, it might not matter, because Asuna might know the name since she remembers who the person was on SAO. If Asuna doesn't know, then maybe Klein might. That would mean that if Kirito dies, the story will go on to another protagonist in a different time after this. I don't read LN or read manga so I'm just guessing what might happen. I hope that's not true though because I want to see Kirito explain Sinon to Asuna. |
  |
| omg... when will GGO arc end?!?!? Please.... Kirito vs Death Gun. Hope Kirito wins quickly. Damnit!!! The pacing is beyond slow. Oh I loved how Yui was in a Skype call with Asuna :D So cool! |

| Bit too much talking this episode, not enough action. After a full 24 minute talking drama last week, I was hoping for a bit more intense fighting. 2 things I don't get: How is Kirito losing when he clearly was thrashing the LC members in Aincrad? And Death Gun keeps telling him to remember his name, but how is he supposed to remember something if he never learned it? |

Takuan_Soho said: Humm, I really have nothing to say. It wasn't a bad episode, but then again it wasn't really a good one either. Felt like it was missing a little bit of ummph there and considering the episode and where we are in the story, it really should have had it. Pretty much this. All in all I would have to say it's been adapted quite well, and I'll keep watching. |
| Great episode, good setup and back story. Great animation and art. 10x better than SAO 1. 5/5 |
 |
| Finally, I have been waiting for this bout. I seriously don't want to see any deus ex machina on both sides, just plain pure skill and wit that is plausible even within the game. Also that explains why Death Gun's estoc didn't break from the photon sword, its metal is used for spaceship armor. Hahaha. |

Maybe in s1 against Heathcliff, since he apparently didn't need "this" to move so fast, but that's it. Don't expect logic from these people. Nor them having an attention span longer than 5 seconds. Hell I still see people claiim that "nothing happened" this episode or the episode before and that "this whole arc could be condensed into a hour long movie with better pacing". If stuff is not exploding all around then "nothing is happening". Badly adapting SAO1 did a LOT of bad in terms of viewership expectations and the kind of viewership the show attracted Byon-kun said: SHSL_Wizard said: Na, given by the pacing I think it's gonna end in like 2-3 episodesIt's probably gonna end around episode 13, then eps 14+ are gonna be the next arc.
