| If the first episode is a introduction of GGO's Squad Jam, this episode tells how Karen started. Really tells how she started with a short but cute avatar sa LLENN. |
| Interesting!! The protagonist is a tall girl and just one game got a cute avatar, in a shooting game, when usually the best is some different!!! kekeke |

Why do you even try to watch this when you gave the first SAO a score of only 2? At this point you are just torturing yourself when instead you could be watching something you'd enjoy. dunkan85 said: Squad Jam... so the MMO they were playing was first a 'regular' MMO, but then the developers saw that Battle Royal was the newest stupid trend and decided to hack out their own cynical version, despite it being completely detached from what GGO was, huh? Wow, that's uncannily similar to reality right there *cough*Fortnite*cough* :|. Are you THAT dumb and stupid or just pretending? This new battle royale fag started very recently while Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online started being published in 2014 so how the fuck can they be related? The original GGO LN chapter in SAO is even older than that and the anime was also adapted in 2014. MAL users these days... |

I liked SAO II and Accel World. If you saw my 2/10 for SAO I assume you saw my anime list layout no ? It's a full layout ACCEL WORLD which is made by the same author of SAO, I made it myself. I'm just not a lover sucker who eat all the shit people served them. Even if I liked Accel World and SAO II better than SAO first season they don't deserve more than 5/10 because of the bad and convenient plot, flat characters etc. even if it was entertaining The pink desert for the pink character is a perfect example of convenient and stupid setup we get here. |
| Sword Art Online without Kirito? Yes please |

Accel World is very different than SAO. They have some things in common but they are still very different. Yeah you gave SAO II 5 which means you just didn't hate it as much as the others. If you are watching just so you can find flaws then it's pointless...you are just watching so you come and complain here. It's pointless, it's retarded and it's annoying too for others considering how much more people do the same as you. |

| Not sure if it is mentioned directly, but what is the main girl's height? |
| I hope she got a refund for all those games she tried. Who knows if some of those characters were also rare for there respective games. Then it'd a waste to return them. Would be hilarious if Pito turned out to be the girl she [met] for info on VRs. |

| I never understood why MMO gamers bother others about 'real life' things. The whole point of MMO is to escape. |

| Good episode! So Kohiruimaki, Karen a.k.a. LLENN is an absurdly tall woman IRL and she has a complex about it! haha...and this is why she wants a short Chibi avatar on game so that she could sway away her height complex! LLENN was called Pink Devil! and she immediately bought P90 = P-chan lolz! that was fast...antagonist Pitohui was indroduced immediately! so new VA Kusunoki Tomori can sing as well huh nice ED! 5/5. |

| @Daniel_Naumov: Good point since she was the one that pointed out she could keep her ID. I didn't really see the point of transferring to different games with the same ID and calling it a character convert. I guess it saves you the trouble of having to input an ID multiple times; however, it sounds the same as PSN. It's simply a matter of not changing your username when you play different games. Maybe it's just a roundabout way of explaining it to a beginner. |

| Pretty cool episode, but damn, I feel sorry for Shino if she ever had to go through that version of the tutorial. |
| Ugh, the forced idea that the game randomly choose how your character looks is so bad. If that wasn't a thing in the original SAO, the creators could have shaved 5 minutes off of this episode with actual content rather than have Karen go through 30 games trying to randomly get a design she liked. It's so accurate, and that's why video game creators don't implement something so stupid. And DESIGNING YOUR CHARACTER is the best thing about an RPG! That was probably the only problem I had, honestly. I like the introduction of Karen's character and Pito was really neat too. I'm just curious if Pito is played by a man? I'm sure that's a twist that will be thrown in later when they meet in person.. And like @chuckdam said above, where is the plot?? So far we've had an action packed game play episode, and now basically a slice of life. I'm wondering where it's going to go?? |

| well to all the complaints about random avatars, i'd like to say... blame this guy  |
| Much more enjoyable than the first episode. Its at least got my interest now. Not sure if i trust that Pito girl. Also I am REALLY liking the visuals for the ed. The song is pretty good too |
 |
| To me, this anime is really enjoyable and refreshing also IMO |
| Ugh just no no no no. You don't give me a an episode that's pretty cool, devoid of all SAO references to then give me not only a SAO reference but a literal login to ALfheim Online. So much for a spin-off! Bye! |
| Lie until what you want to be true becomes truth. Lie until you can't remember what's a lie and what isn't. Lie until you aren't lying anymore! Figures  |
| Definitely enjoying this series so far. Karen's reasoning to wanting to join the VR scene is relatable. A lot of people wish they could be different. I wasn't bothered at all about not being able to customize the way your avatar looks like. Seems like a small thing to be mad about. I do enjoy that she made a friend in Pito who showed her the ropes, and I love how she seems more confident in this episode than last episode. PKing and also saying she will beat Pito are good signs of not being a complete wuss. I dig it. 3/5 |

If that wasn't a thing in the original SAO[...] Only the original Sword Art Online had character creation, but in SAOII Kirito was unable to customize his character in Alfheim Online and Gun Gale Online; so Keiichi Shigusawa's hands were tied due to precedent set by the series creator, Reki Kawahara. I know. In SAOII it's stupid and randomly thrown in too :T what significance is there for randomizing their character designs?? Besides being able to make Kirito a female for one season... |

| This anime is better than I thought, it will not be a masterpiece, but it's nice to look at. The narrative this time has been shown much more "dynamic" and less "static" of the previous episode, even if it was the explanation that was behind the birth of the character of Llenn, I imagined who knows what witty reasoning there was at the base of his creation, instead it's all so silly, to be so close to reality, wow! I hope that the true identity of Pito is not what I imagine, it would be a little too obvious. I'm waiting for the next episode, to make more laughter with Llenn. |
 |
| Sometimes, I wonder if the people on anime forums are all sociopaths with an inability to empathize with other people. Like holy crap. |
| I still can't get my head around her weapon being called "P-Chan" |
| Something something something |
| Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that this is the first time a VZ-58 has ever been in an anime? One made a brief appearance in the Upotte manga but never in an anime before this point (might also be the first time we've seen a first model) |

| This is no excuse for wearing pink all the time, especially into battle royal. |

| Pito is here! I wonder why she is not with LLENN anymore... |
 |
| Pretty steady character development if you ask me, steady pacing and all in all pretty solid episode! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| Another decent episode, but so far this isnt really doing much for me |
| Is there no VRMMO games there that allow for full player customization?! I figured that's one of the biggest things VRMMO games should have! Or is it only this way since LLENN converted an avatar to other games instead of creating a new one. So LLENN finally got a short, cute, loli avatar. It must be nice for her to get that because her body size basically gave her an advantage over other bigger sized avatars. Less hit-box areas meant that she can dodge more attacks, it's kinda cheating, isn't it? An unfair advantage |

| 2025. Dat forehead. YOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! DIGIMON STORY CYBER SLEUTH IS ON THE SHELVES! AND FOR VITA! IN 2025! Also, FFX. Holy shit shes tall. Dat oppai of LLENN in ALO. lol at her heart rate increasing because of her height. Did she become Frieza? Dat mermaid oppai. 37 times? She can beat me any day. Dat ass. Yoko!!!!!! January 2026. Squad Jam. I am highly disappointed in you all. I read (well, more like skimmed and Ctrl F'd) through all 5 pages and not one of you mentioned seeing Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth on VITA (also Final Fantasy X and Digimon Next 0rder) during the game store scene. Vita still going strong in 2025. lol |
