| Alice - new goblin slayer :D But well this season regained it's quality after ruined last season. I like it so much can't wait for another episode. |
| Vector is truly fucked up. Seems like they're gonna skip his backstory where he but oh well can't wait to see Asuna animated though And man the art is absolutely amazing if only the animation can keep up |

 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| So is Asuna gonna join in? If she does I doubt she'll find Kirito immediately.. Alice standing up there and beating these goblins or whatever was sick ngl I find the whole overworld situation way too farfetched... The attackers aren't terrorists, they seem to have at least one expert and figured out where the team is already. They took over everything except this sub control room? Does sound like it. Then Kirito is also stationed up there? But the attackers aren't able to go to them? Why? Maybe my IQ is too low to watch this. Maybe the telling is just bad. Either way, I have these questions. |
 “I don’t like expending more effort than I have to.” – Ayanokouji Kiyotaka |
| that ED is beautiful so I guess Asuna gonna dive into the underworld eh how about Alice feeling toward Kirito later? |
| Great first half when Alice show the entire village who the boss. Boring second half on info dump regarding the whole situation. |
| ok how convenient that the only way to extract the artificial intelligence of Alice is to go to the underworld too lol so they ye they gonna fight there eh so Kirito short circuited lol the character design drawings are good and also the digital colors/effects but damn there is no sakuga fights so far |
| Alice's revelation as an Integrity Knight was bloody amazing and the way she called Amayori to wreck havoc just about topped it for me really! Awesome little "Senbonzakura" moment too, she's really at the top of her game no matter how you look at it. Damn, those eye color changes though, was she controlling it herself or something? And back to the real world for the 2nd half. Had to replay certain expositions a few times but I'm still a little unsure on the structure of this turtle base more so than anything else I suppose. I get that they don't want to go around destroying stuff but they clearly seem to have a grasp on the surroundings so it's a little baffling why they aren't pushing a tad bit more to ensure a victory of theirs. Also, weren't they close to getting shot in Part 1's finale, so how come they're all of a sudden in stalemate now. Poor Kirito, he's been through a lot and this current state of his goes to show that. Asuna into the Underworld seems to be rapidly approaching, whoo-hoo! Dat ost with the rebel leader though... Awesome ED right there, by the way! Visual-wise, it's an absolute treat but you really can't put LiSA out of the equation here can you? Definitely one of my top ED from the season and franchise alike. And similarly with the Op too! |

| Another surprisingly good episode I like this season so far |
 |
| Lmao, Kirito's brain literally got turned off by a power outage. Dude's breakers tripped. Better, but the antagonists, like that annoying fat fuck, always, always feel so cheap. Like a caricature, not unlike some redneck hating on black people or gays. Can't say I'm surprised Kirito is being shoe-horned into the hero role again, and everything is going to occur in the underworld. SAO is again starting pretty well, but I can't help but doubt it'll last. |
 |
| Oh man, when the villain goes 'hmph' not once but twice, you know shits about to get serious. |
| I hope Asuna doesnt go in here. like. Let other characters have a role, like thats what made pt 1 so amazing. Eugeo was the perfect one and we had no Asuna intervention. |
| <img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx1a8gz3tu1qbxqfpo1_500.png" /> |
| Goblin Slayer would be proud. |
 |
| I hope Kirito won't stay AFK that much otherwise he will get banned. |
 |
| I loved this episode, especially the first part. The second part touched me even though I already knew it. How nice is when Asuna bullied Kikuoka, she should do it more often! xD Amazing ending, both visually and to listen. LiSA did an awesome job, but A1-Pictures did an amazing job too! |
 |
| I feel like Asuna is going to dive now |
 |
| The episode was good but man I hope we get longer fights because the animation is top notch. Also the ED was splendid. |
| I’m surprised they’ve gone so long without showing us The ocean turtle and fight scenes were pretty disappointing ngl, reading volume 15 had me hype af for Alice to save the village, but it was a bit meh in anime. |

| I'm liking this a lot more than the previous season for some reason I cannot quite explain at this point. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| holy crap I got the chills Alice revealed herself as a integrity knight, feels bad for Asuna and that ending song is just amazing |
 |
| I'm really in love with the ed its so beautiful. Alice was gorgeous as ever, also the animation was top tier. Asuna is more damaged than Kirito himself such a good girl. |
| The Golden Goddess strikes again to protect Rulid Village so no need to call Goblin Slayer. It seems like the who invaded the ocean turtle have found a way to control the Alice program. |
 |
| Alice back in armour, that's a win! Loved how she gave that speech about being an Integrity Knight and everyone did listen to her. She managed to make the goblins (and orcs?) retreat. Finally we get to see more of the real life side of the story, how the situation is there. They seem to be quite in a pinch themselves. Only a matter of time when Asuna will join that world, cause she's been looking at that spare machine for many times now.. Edit: That ED is just beautiful! So fucking good! FMmatron said: Alice's Intregity Knight flex immediately shut everyone up xD Lelouch0202 said: The real world plot seems overly convoluted with all these terms being thrown around I had to pause and replay some parts,which was honestly kinda annoying. Aside from that another solid episode. I am actually glad I am not the only one that has to pause and replay parts, I can get so lost with the terms that SAO uses. Fate is another franchise where I have to do that often. |
 |
| Yo that animation on the ED is amazing. |

| I nearly forgot how strong Alice was until I saw her annihilating the goblins. More outside which I didn't expect. It seems that they aren't going to get help anytime soon. |
 |
| Alice being badass and finally with both eyes (I hate eye-patches). Asuna being cool threatening Kikuoka again. Best girl. <3 Looks like she'll dive into Underworld soon, can't wait for that. Can't wait to see her new outfit. <3 It's shown too briefly in the opening. Ending is nice. I don't like how Alice seems to care so much about Kirito, while she knew him how long before he became a vegetable? 1 day? That's totally LOL when compared with Asuna's/Eugeo's time spent with Kirito and I can't accept that she cares about him so much, it's totally fake to me. |
| Waiting for Gundam SEED Movie..... (ಥ‿ಥ) Waiting for Sailor Moon Cosmos..... o(≧▽≦)o |
| Beautiful ED <3, both the visuals and the song are soo good! |
 |
| The ending looks awsome! |

| Wondering which of the A girls (Asuna or Alice) will die? Is there such a thing called best girl? I have a bad feeling in my gut from that ending. But oof that ending, literally...LiSA killing all of us ever so sweetly. Kirito forgot to backup his character fuu Does this mean that if Kirito cannot recover his fluctlight black..hole ego thingamabob - Eugeo will only be a memory... that not even Kirito can remember fully because he can't remember hisself? |
| I just wish they would focus more on the virtual world. But nonetheless it was nice to see Asuna again. That post credits scene, interesting. |

| Kirito and Eugeo was very lucky fighting the Integrity Knight indoors. If the knights whip out their dragons, they don't stand a chance. |

The attackers could break in if they blow everything up, but it was deduced that their goal is not to destroy. They want to retrieve Alice's fluctlight intact. |

| They have done a good job with the adaptation so far. Hopefully they can maintain this throughout the season. That ed has excellent visuals. Good job in properly depicting Alice's character. They failed to do that with Eugeo thanks to skipped monologues and Zakkaria tournament. Can't wait to see |

| Alice finally back in action... Kirito get back on your feet...fight on fight on |
 |
| HAHAHAH! poor Asuna...and her face of dismay! 2/5. Alice should hire Goblin Slayer and not waste her precious time annihilating goblins... |
 |
| Alice will fall into the real world? Please someone send me a spoiler |
| Huuuge improvement over the pretty weak first episode. Fights in the first half and lots of Alice. Background about the outside world in the 2nd half. A lot better than seeing Kirito in a wheelchair all the time. Too bad Goblin Slayer wasn't here to kill some goblins ha ha. :D Are the enemy soliders chars we already knew? Or new chars? (I don't remember all the faces from previous seasons/arcs.) At the end the guy that removed his helmet probably is the main enemy in the real life world there. |
| the Ending song is a masterpiece with it's AMV. I really love it |
| End me |
| I'm always surprised by Alice, and time after time, there is still no exception that prove me wrong. Kirito is still in a "disconnected" state. Selka is having a way more huge role than she ever was in the first part. The goblins now seem to introduce bigger threats. And, I still cannot find any other "Fluctlights" are as "real" as Alice :)) I'm just wondering what happened with her right eyes. I thought it was... Nah, let's wait and see BTW, I absolutely love the OP as well as the ED. Thanks a lot for that :)) |
