lihle808 said: These characters are keep popping up out of nowhere. Where the fuck do they get them? They just introduced this Renly character whom we haven't seen in our entire lives, and suddenly has a major development, what? In all honesty this war just lost me. Has lost you? The season has lost itself since the 2nd episode. By my count, still in this war (massacre) we have to be introduced to 1 new knight, to get more screentime of another one, and also be presented to another sub-villain. And Asuna is nowhere near. |
 |
| So Linel and Fizel didn't go do something to Kirito like I thought, but to protect him, that was nice of them. Since Tiese and Ronye are useless. So Renly is a coward because of his trauma of killing his best friend. And then he whoop suddenly gets over it by being inspired by a comatose Kirito trying to protect Tiese and Ronye... ok, lol, whatever. Wait, let me guess, we'll get some backstory/explanation for the Scheta Integrity Knight in the next episode and it will take more than half the episode too. :/ Bercouli was cool and so was Alice's Spirit Bomb/Laser thingy. (Asuna where the hell are you?) |
| Waiting for Gundam SEED Movie..... (ಥ‿ಥ) Waiting for Sailor Moon Cosmos..... o(≧▽≦)o |
| Oh my god...Alice is the baddest bitch in this entire anime. Holy shit that attack was utterly insane! My jaw hit the freaking floor. Honestly she is the most developed female in this series imo. I am just waiting for this show to take a turn for the worse with the enemy due to get an upper hand, and that garbage Asuna enters. |

| they actually translated Renri, Scheta and Vector as Renly, Scheyta and Vecta. why anyways... A-1 cut a lot, welp. They cut Renri's talk with Linel and Fizel in the tent (which was why he actually came out to fight, not only just because potato Kirito tried to fight) and they even cut the scenes where Renri saves them from the goblins, welp. And they legit skipped Linel and Fizel asking for permission to go there? Wtf A-1? Scheta would never accept them leaving without asking for permission first, this is bullshit They didn't even put Kosogi mind games and why he was capable of going 1 on 1 with Renri then again why would i expect A-1 to do justice to characters that arent kirito, asuna or garbalice. anyways, seeing Renri animated is good, his voice is beautiful, and the double winged blades were nicely animated, tho iirc in the novel, the release recollection they actually become birds, don't they? oh well, it was still nice oh, they changed the invading to exploding in the opening, thats actually cool Renri/5. |

| I'm glad that Renly finally got his shit together in this episode. The way he calmly sliced the goblin leader in half was badass. That was an op laser at the end. |
 |
| Renly got his ass in gear, I guess seeing Tiese giving all her might to protect Kirito did the trick. Interesting weapon he has. That burst element though! That was quite a destructive force! What is it with the sounds this week? After FGO this is the second Anime today where I have to tune the sound down cause literally every bit of glass in the kitchen was shaking. I love it though! :D A bit more tame episode compared to last week. But atleast Alice and Bercouli made their first moves. |
 |
| I'm looking forward to Dee Eye Ell's reaction next episode. |
| Alice summoned a nuclear rail gun attack from a spirit bomb of all the dead souls got it. |
 |
| the only good things in this episode was that renly fight and alice's laser beam bercouli's time slashing skill is op tho |
 |
| Another good eps. I have always been amazed of how beautiful and captivating this part is, and until now it haven't disappointed me. Every eps has its own story to tell, and this one is about an integrity knight named Renly, who is trying to conquer the fear of being rejected and that guilty feeling of having killed his best friend. Hard-hitting back-story though, but is it really necessary? And, pls tell me that Asuna will have a fight with Alice soon. Plssssss :)) |
| A pretty good episode although I don't care much for the Renly guy... seems just an excuse to throw in even more flashbacks again.. I'm starting to get my Naruto Shippuuden trauma back these past few episodes. The pacing really needs to speed up a little.. hopefully we'll see that next episode. I need more screen time for Alice as well.. maybe Asuna appearance soon too... and for god's sake Kirito needs to wake up soon or I'm going to lose my shit lol. |

Short_Circut said: emraanash said: great action as always... I don't remember why kirito is in a coma, can someone help me with that, please? After he rkd Administrator, he accessed the console thingy and tried to communicate with those aboard RAFT, but then I believe Gabriel's crew did something to the power which essentially caused his fluctlight to malfunction or something along the lines, hence the comatose state thanks brother..... :] |

| Alice's golden senbonzakura kageyoshi was too awesome! 5/5. |

| god that dark mage leader is ugly af, even goblins look better than her and Alice~~~!!! <3 for Kirito! oh uh i mean, its my duty, lol |
| One must say this is by far best episode of this season. Took so many screen caps of Alice visuals were fabulous. |
| I'm glad that this episode did shine some light into why Renly retreated like a coward from battle. During a sparring battle wit his friend in the past, his friend's sword broke when Renly went to attack, which in turn made Renly accidentally delivered a fatal blow to his friend. No wonder he's so petrified to fight in the war, but it doesn't change the fact that running away from the war was a cowardly thing to do. On the plus side, he opened up to Tiese and Ronie, while guarding Kirito, before a goblin came in and started acting so smug and overconfident. After seeing Kirito clutch the swords in his hands, Renly finally got his act together and took down that goblin. He got his mojo back so quickly as he went back to the battlefield and with his unique shuriken-style blade, he took down one of the goblin generals. Bercouli's attack on the second dark territory unit was pretty badass, but this was easily outdone by Alice, who unleashed a devastating beam that wiped out a large portion of the enemy army. Damn, she's already flexing her powers... XD This was another good episode. Asuna still hasn't shown up at all which is still a bit odd, but I'm guessing that she'll appear in the next episode or two, hopefully. |
| Nonstop action from the start, little Quinella flashback, Alice unleashing a devastating spell, Dark Mage leader loosing her cool, Amazing episode! Alice spell seems to have obliterated the two enemy units completely, I wonder how effective that blast could have been if aimed at their main forces. In theory their deaths should unleash enough magic points for alice to gather again, I wonder if that happens now that apparently the enemies mages are gone. Also, reddish skin is underrated. |

| one of the more decent episodes of the anime so far. i hope we can see more of the green knight in the story so he is not just some mobs used to once again make kirito like a great husbando |
| if you want good story, read novel. if you want good graphic, read manga. anime is beyond that. |
| I can say for sure that this is the best SAO ....everything is different ,the MC isn't kirito, the author is giving a lot of attention to other characters and made us relate to them ,I can't stop loving Alice more and more (tbh i think i will start shipping her with Kirito),it's rare to find any plot holes , the bad guys are more developed ,more interesting and very strong , i can feel the story more finally I am loving it so much and for me it's the best anime of this season ...at least for now |
BlakexEkalb said: @Superns18 About your review: you really think this beats Alicization P1? At the moment WOU seems kinda stale, even if a big war is going on. Atm I’d say it’s a 7/10, with P1 easily getting an 8/10, being the best SAO that has come out. Easily blows part 1 out the water. That’s because I read the source material so I know what happens and it’s not even close. That combined with the fact best girl gets her time to shine as the protagonist and her taking care of Kirito for 6 months. Easily in my top 5. The story also gets a lot darker, writing gets better, stakes get higher, other people besides Kirito shine, and there’s plenty of emotional moments. |
 |
| Great episode! That flashback about Renly explained why he is so affraid of fighting, and it was sad how he finished killing his friend! Ronie and Tiese found him and also a goblin, even in that state Kirito wanted to save them, and Renly got inspired and saved them! Renly have twins respect, and mine, his dancing blades were awesome, i liked that! Bercouli's time splitting sword was epic! Alice is storing dead people energy from both side disabling thermal element from dark mages, Alice sent a powerfull beam with that energy stored, it was awesome! Looking forward next episode, and for ASUNA! |

Kaiser-chan said: BestBoiEren said: imagine getting mad at others opinion (about imaginary characters no less!) grow up m8 also they are both 800 times better than the blonde tsundere number 1003. who has 0 personality and all she does is be annoying all the time " flat characters" perfect description of alice Imagine not making any sense. She have more personality than Hinata and Mikasa combined. She prideful warrior, a caring sister, practically act like a mother to Kirito and a tsundere. You can't make any argument, all you can say is that Alice is bad but nothing to back it up. It's like talking to a uneducated child. You are lowering the average IQ of users in this thread. It's fine to not like her but to say she is a bad character is just you being incredibly hypocrite. wish i could like your comment 50 times in a row. the guy has no idea what he's talking about and Alice is miles from being a flat character lmfao. Flat, buddy, means that a character DOES NOT CHANGE OR GROW throughout the plot. ???????????????? Alice literally has more development than anyone in this freaking anime lol. She is wonderful, has a personality, has her own way of thinking, changes that way of thinking, adjusts it, cares for everyone and is just a perfect character imho. I'm really torn apart personally, but also not really. I do think that Asuna and Kirito have this... bond which won't and shouldn't be broken, but overall I love Alice's character way better than anyone I think. |
| Sadly, the second group of dark territory team was funny that everytime they made a move it fails. Both Alice and Renly was cool on this episode, nice. |
 |
| Damn, poor grunts, taking the brunt of it all. Don't the Human Soldiers know the concept of shields? Shield formations? Not even a spear and shield formations in sight. Of course they will get slaughtered if they only hold one sword and try to fight the physically stronger Dark Territory inhabitants. If it weren't for the Integrity Knights, even if they had the numbers, I'm pretty sure they would've been annihilated. Anyway, I'm glad that green haired guy finally got his courage back to fight, lol, he even said that "I'm pretty sure there were some deaths already". LMAO, green knight, you're unit's almost wiped out and in chaos, do something. The last scene with Alice was really good, damn, the way she annihilated that entire army group was just awesome. |

| Kaboom Everyone in the valley is now dead, thanks Alice-kun xD |
 |
| Opening up the shed of light that is Integrity Knight Renly and his broken cowardice, that all started from Administrator Quinella. No matter how he tries to muster his courage, it's only by sheer will that he overcomes the trauma and makes it back to the battlefront. His battle skill, IMPRESSIVE as the double-wing blades spliced the enemy in half in glorious animation. All that for the 1st half. As soon as the Dark Territory engages their aerial forces, Uncle Bernoculi and Alice made their respective moves. The former showing his display of powers, and the latter exhorting in FULL annihilation. To protect not just Kirito, but even a soul that can be saved in this tragic war, no second thoughts are tolerated. |
 |
| It's a good episode. But I want to see Asuna.. |

| Amazing episode...Renly's pretty badass. I actually chuckled out loud when the mage was like "Where'd all those lives go?" Alice: "RIGHT HERE, BITCHES." xD |
  |
| Does someone know about the "??" the Dark Psycho had as values for his skills? I have a theory they might mean it's either infinite or it adapts to the soul/fluctlight logged into the character. |
| Alice burst element is so awesome! |
 |
| Another great episode. Renly awakening and Alice using that huge blast was both great moments. |
 |
| Holy shit, did Alice just take out the entire dark mage and orge unit in one hit?! Even though he's a bit of a pussy, i actually really like Renly. He doesn't pretend to be this heroic knight; he's a bit of a coward and he knows it but he still gathered his courage and is fighting! |
 |
| So, Integrity Knights like Renly can feel fear at times. I like the part where Alice annihilated thousands of wolfs and witches. That attack was way too powerful. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Very noob intergrity knight lol. |
| hmmm the battle rages on..but damn alice is strong |
