| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well damn, Yuuki is pretty OP in the fight this episode not that I'm entirely surprised by that. Seems that they are raiding a dungeon with the team. Kinda reminded me of Log Horizon this episode. Asuna using ice magic seems kinda interesting though. It looks like they did it though after the fight. Well deserved victory. Episode felt pretty fast overall imo but it looks like they got their names on that wall.  |
 |
| Not just Kirito, but also friend guy is here. Yuuki team is strong, too. Asuna is helpful for quickly defeating the healers. Challenging that boss again. That battle OST... FictionJunction sang that during the live... She also found its weak point, and Yuuki quickly attacked it. So they won. Celebration at their house. Asuna wanting to be friends with them more time, but they are being awkward. After a photo, Yuuki suddenly left... wonder what happens. I wonder where the two guys are gone, too. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Yet again nice proof that Kirito is not all that OP. He (and Klein) COULD hold off the guild for a while, but in the end the outcome was obviously not good for them. Its nice to see Asuna display the level of skill and strength she has too since SAO1 kind of...skipped...most of that and moments like that help to reinforce why she was second in command of a top leading guild in SAO. Perfect ending of the episode too, hinting at the more mysteries. EXACTLY where we expected it to end this episode. |
 |
| OH DAMN! Fight was really fun. Yuuki is OP. Who is Kirito again? Lol. Also dat Asuna Gundam-power-dash O.o AsunaXYuuki anyone? Although I think I'm going to places I shouldn't be.... And that cliff hanger... This arc has been good so far but this was definitely best episode 5/5 |

InsertPriestHere said: CookingPriest said: I'm curious about how they'll handle everything left with only three episodes, but A-1 hasn't done too badly so far (apart from the unnecessary ass shots of Sinon) so I'm not too worried. I'd say I'd say it will take around two, maybe two and half episodes to handle it all. |
|
| That moment when two priests are talking and I have no idea what ;_; |
|
| This is the second most boring arc so far. As much as I hate GGO arc, at least that was fill with drama. |
neilviosuy said: Kinda sad that they didn't make a Kirito/Klein vs multiple players fight scene. We got all that happened. They got owned for three minutes or so and then died and respawned in town. |
|
| The feelz are incoming T^T Loved this ep a lot :D Kirito showing who's boss cutting magic like nothing XD Got nothing on sniper bullets XD And showing off Excaliber like a BOSS making them piss piss their pants was so much fun to see XD Asuna's rocket charge was so epic!! Dat animation :O...Yuuki owning was also amazing. And ofc the Boss Raid :D Satisfying adaption once again ^^ |
 |
| Asuna "the Flash" has never been animated better. |
| Kirito was awesome as ever :D |
Rinth said: Asuna "the Flash" has never been animated better. I so want a readaptation of SAO that would do her justice. |
|
| That was a nice episode. Kirito being a supportive boyfriend and Asuna's forming a bond with the Sleeping Knights. Incoming feels but damn Sento Isuzu will lose to Yuki in the next Saimoe match for sure since we seen her cry in this episode and the fact that this is a SAO franchise. |
 |
| That was really quite the episode. That slow motion when Kirito destroyed those magic attacks! Asuna fitting her name of Lightning Flash! Those back jumps and defeating all those people. Her new name being Berserk Healer! The boss fight was really nice too. Yuuki being that strong and quite the touching scene after defeating the boss! |
 |
| The Ost and fights were really nice. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| The feels are starting... |
| Great episode and the feels look like they arrived. Asuna must remind Yuuki of her sister or something to be accidentally calling her sister multiple times. Can't wait until next week. |
| damn i wnat to know what happens with yuuki now and after reading the comments its a sad thing someone please spoil me i want to know what happens send pm or something D: |
| Yuuki is Asuna's sister? Or maybe Asuna resembles Yuuki's sister? Well Yuuki started tearing up, so I'm expecting more of this in the coming episodes. |
 |
| I dunno why but i freaking love this arc. This episode was awesome too. Compared to the 2 giants fight in the previous arc this was 100 times better. Enemy had a weak point, they found it (luck or not) and they used it to win. Can't really wait to see the story behind sleeping knights and the "onee-chan" thing going on. Full song for the opening is out and it's SO DAMN GOOD. I can't stop listening to it seriously. I want to upload it to YT but with the copyright shit going on it will not last more than a day :( |

| I kinda like this arc better than GGO and that Norse boss one >.> |
| To be honest, I like SAO better when Kirito was more OP. |
| My Reviews and Rants: http://bunny1ov3r.wordpress.com/ 痛就是爱 |
| I'm definitely liking this Asuna-centric arc. Yuuki is a nice addition too |
Rinth said: Asuna "the Flash" has never been animated better. True that. Them feels starting from next ep.. |
 |
| The fight scenes were really cool. A bit too fast for my liking, but still cool. I sort of wish they were more drawn out like in the first arc of the first season. So, is asuna an only child or does she have a little sister irl? I sort of got the impression that she was an only child?? I like the fight scenes and animation as always, but I sort of feel like there's no larger plot driving the anime forward... |
| That opening still brings tears to my eyes everytime I see it. Awesome Raid boss fight, alongside the LH2 raid this was a great week. And then that ending song plays right on that part. The Feels. ;_; Wait...Journeys end? Don't they have another 3 episodes to go after that? O_o |
| Kirito has a new name, blackie-sensei. What happened to blackie-sensei anyway? He needs more screen time, considering he's the hero of the story. Oh yeah, where did Sinon disappear to? |
 |
| Ahh such a great episode!! Awesome fights, the animation was really well done. I love how they showed Asuna being the Lightning Flash, earning her name :p. Yuuki was amazing too, the way she hit the boss during the last attack. Also, Yuuki calling Asuna Nee-chan, omg. The feels though, they're coming. That ending already, damn. |
 |
| Would be cool if they released an OVA with Kirito's fight. I imagine something similar to his fight in Yggsdrasil (againts the bunch of Guardians), but with a little less rage. I'm enjoying Mother Rosario arc, however I feel that Asuna is lacking something. Can't exacly pin point what, she just felt stronger in SAO. |

| Well, Mother's rosario arc is pretty amazing so far. last time i wanted more so much from SAO was at the first half of the first season ! |

y123y said: Its amazing how SAO makes it so obvious who the villains and jerks are in the anime. They always have an angry face for no reason. These raid bosses are a one time thing, if someone else defeats them then you can't. So if you've just assembled a full raid and are about to start you'd be pissed as well if someone else got it before you. Assembling a full raid is no effortless task, so not even getting a try on the boss is really frustrating. It's easy to say they should smile and congratulate the little group for their feat, but that's not realistic for a raid leader in that position. I don't feel bad for them though, as they couldn't even bother with a trial and error approach. But there is definitely a good reason for the angry face. |

| This episode was awesome! The fights were amazing. Better get your tissues ready for the next episode though. |
| calling it now (too lazy to call it at the first mention of the guild name), also haven't read the LN all the players in that guild have ebolaids and are in an induced coma ("sleeping" knights) and are going to have the plug pulled come spring (or end of spring, i don't care enough to remember the exact time period). how close am i? |
