| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Eh, life is never fair huh? It was okay for relationship building in the real world. There's drama but I wonder how Asuna can connect with her mother again. Yuuki gives her advice though. Asuna's mom also enters the game and her game character design is pretty typical. I bet that experience gave her some nostologia.  |
 |
| Yuuki is having fun there at the school with the machine that Kirito made to communicate with Yui between virtual and real world. The house that soon to be destroyed. About delivering feeling, and Asuna should talk to her mother. And she decided to talk through game to show the house. The avatar her mother uses is a short hair lady. Her feeling delivered and her mother finally agreed for her to say. I wonder how they are going to end next ep. Don't really like when internet is bad that affecting streaming. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Continued well handling of the arc from A1. Enjoyed getting the "Yuuki Yuuki" line, though for some reason I liked it more in the novel, ah well. Asuna resolving her problems with her mother was well handled. Overall well done. 5/5. One more episode, left, huh? tsubasalover said: Is that why Kirito created that communication machine last ep. (for Yuuki to be able to talk to Asuna and be able to go to school in her coma)? Yuuki is having fun there. The house that soon to be destroyed. He actually was making it for Yui, IIRC. |
| It not her mother's character. Its Asuna's alt account they talked about before. Kirito created the machine for Yui to experience the real world and be able to function in it. Overall yet another great and well paced and faithful episode. A lot of other studios would have cut out a lot of crucial content there but A1 so far is handling SAO2 perfectly. |

| well-handled arc from the title of the next eps is it implied that a third season will come out next year or 2016? |

| That awkward moment when SAO is actually good |
| I laughed when she carried AIDS-chan on her shoulder as a cam. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
bunny1ov3r said: well-handled arc from the title of the next eps is it implied that a third season will come out next year or 2016? No, its implying the name of the arc or in other words the ending of this arc. SAO III would be nice since the arc after this 1 is pretty nice (except for the insane time skips like season 1) and focus' more on the environment. I wouldn't expect to see SAO III for another 2 years at least with how big this next arc is (almost half of SAO is this 1 arc) and i worries me about how they will adapt it since it will need more than 24/26 episodes. Enough with the future, lets talk about this episode. It was a pretty nice episode to close the issues that Asuna had with her Mother and to show her Mother the Virtual World. Next episode is the last episode so the hype train is about to make its final stop at climax-ville, everyone will have to depart the train at the next station. |

| Bravo A-1. Still continuing on perfectly :3 Nxt ep it is!! TEARS INCOMING T^T Dat kawaii crying mommy covering her crying face was so cute :3 Good for u Asuna :D And boy is Yuuki wary about Kirito. Loved how she told Asuna "He's not part of the real world in a different matter than me" Oh and Dat loli Asuna <3 |

There's already a lot of material to work on from the novels... The chances are high :3 The next Arc isn't even finished yet so I doubt they will start animating it until the Arc is over or the author explains how many volumes are left for the next arc. From memory, this Arc has been ongoing before the anime even begun. So there is A LOT of content that will need to be covered. |
| They can do it in two seasons, so do SAOIII up to volume 12/13 or so. |
| SAO - Aincrad 7,6/10 SAO - Fairy Tail Doesn't exist SAO - Phantom Bullet 8,2/10 SAO - Calibur 6,7/10 SAO - Mother's Rosario Calculating... (so far 8,6/10) This is what I call a nice adaptation of the source content. |
 |
| Just realized how there are a lot of Yuuki this season. Bringing Yuuki to school through a camera, it was a little awkward in like visiting the faculty office. Everybody being really friendly and the teacher getting Yuuki to read a passage. Really liked the scenes that showed Yuuki's perspective when looking out to the real world. It almost serves itself as a reminder. The Yuuki Yuuki ^^ Yuuki being so cheerful actually kind of hurts :( Asuna confronting her mother by her feelings. Other's happiness being happiness itself and to want to be able to stay there. Liked how though it being a virtual world, it just might be more realistic in the sense of their emotions. Her mother being able to cry and giving Asuna a chance to stay where she is. |

|
| was that loli asuna I saw? <3 a bit boring episode though :/ |
  |
| This was... perfect... I almost cried with that scene with her mom, was more touching than LN, but i guess that's because it's animated and so on... Also, that ending... in that moment, damn. 5/5 as usual for Mother's Rosario. Also, my reaction to loli Asuna: |
| This episode...This arc... This arc + the ending song just hits you. Not sure if i'm ready for the next ep. |
 |
| asuna x yuuki ending conformed please, we need yuuki yuuki |
| Beautiful episode. It was nice to see how Asuna's classmates welcomed Yuuki. I also liked the part where Asuna talked to her mother, it was really moving. |
 |
| Nice school tour she got, luckly everyone is polite and nice there. Looking forward to the finale next week. |
 |
| I loved this episode. Sure there was no action, but it really conveyed reality and connections. It made me tear up because I'm sure people can relate to this, and I think it was very well done. Very feely indeed. It's sad to know that the next episode will be the last episode of the season and who knows how long we have to wait after that, but I hope to really enjoy the next episode and not cry too much. |

Takuan_Soho said: Again, A-1 wields a deft touch on what could have been over drama. Yuuki's situation with her family helps Asuna to finally be able to tell her mom what she wants to accomplish out of her life and that was what her mother wanted. This is why Asuna's mother wasn't bad, Asuna's issue was that she was stuck, she was indecisive over what to do (even to an extent with Kirito), her Mother wanted Asuna to at least be moving towards some goal, which in general is what you want your children to do. Kudos to A-1 for giving the story credit and doing a non-action episode to highlight the story instead of jamming in some flash. In today's society, for this genre, that is hard to do, but they did it well here. That does not excuse asuna's mother's behavior t hough. It simply showcases Asuna's strength she has managed to remember via overcoming her weakness , allowing her to achieve the best result via diplomacy and treat her mother as an equal. Her mother is still controlling asshole, but Asuna has found enough strength to tip the scales towards equality a bit more. Its the best situation Asuna could hope with parent like that currently. |
|
| Man that was a great episode. On top of that, the LiSA's ED raised dem feels |
| Asuna's Mother will join Kirito's harem? xD Joke.. Sooo. season 3.. Alicization? It sound's a great arc since it takes 5 volumes.. |
| The real world stuff is nice. When they visted Yuuki's old house, I got really sad :P I'm still sort of on the fence about this arc. I wonder what the last episode will be like... |
Wojtini21 said: well 9-15 haven't animated yet so SAO III will do volume 9-12 like all of SAO usually adapts SAO apadted 1-4 apart of 8 SAO II apadted Volume 5-8 caliber being volume 8. So SAO III will do volume 9-12How many volumes of novel left? Do we have material for 3 season? |
LightBladeNova said: It makes me sad to know that still hardly anyone knows what a visual novel is, even in the anime community. |
| When i saw the ed for the first time i tought that the camera on asuna's shoulder is yui. Lol And loli asuna is really cute :3 Can't wait for the last episode, i hope it will make me cry, eventough i already accidentally read the spoiler. |
| Nice to see little Asuna and the scene with her mother, beautiful. Damn I'm a sucker for this genre, tears started to gather for some reason while watching this, maybe the Asuna and Yuuki scenes, oh well. Hope I'm ready for the next week ;-;. Great episode overall. |

| this episode was so good it made me want to cry seeing Asuna's Mom go to the virtual world. It is as good too see her have emotions. |
 |
| Very nice emotional episode, next episode should have many feels :s. I loved the bits with Yuuki at school and Asuna's mom in the cabin. mirakodus said: Great scene with Asuna's mother (Megumi Hayashibara rulez!). BTW it's hard to accept that they have VR on sucha a great level and she didn't try it even once before (so it seems). She should be like.. wow I've got wings, can fly and stuff ;p Hmm I don't know, I can imagine parents being completely unwilling to try current generation games, no matter how many times you'd tell them how amazing it is :p in this case she probably heard about the technology but never cared enough to try it. |
 |
| The title of the next episode confused me a bit as the arc ended and I thought the last episode would be the start of the new World but I guess most of the episode will be still from this arc and the last 5mins of the episode will be from the new arc. I'm sure the anime will end with the scene of |
