THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------


Mystery is in the air of SAO...as there is definitely something strange going on regarding the murders.

Also, glad to see Asuna back and cute to see her bond with Kirito. ^_^

Looks like a good arc so far..and hopefully get some light shed into the murders soon. Also, that poor girl..another one bites the dust.

Pretty wild episode. For one with the new girl in the following,

She seems from calm to psycho rather easily.

The first half was nice with Kirito x Asuna. Some nice times there.

There seems to be FAN SERVICE problem in the spoiler
The F with the asses pose? I can easily see ASS SHAPE + PRIVATES OF GIRL covered a la Strike Witches.

SERIOSULY THE FUCK IS UP? Asuna too in the spoiler
Kind of fed up of this shit. I mean there are already shows out there. Steins Gate was the best one of them showing no need for this shit at least not in a obvious way. Whatver, annoying camera angles of asses that’s all. Looks this is not Maken-Ki nor a fucking FAP show. GET THAT SHIT OUT! I don't need the F angle. I can get it in Seikon no Qwaser better or Queen's blade for that matter. YOU GUYS ACCEPT THAT? OUT OF ALL SHOWS? Come on! We know better. At least Asuna was far less worse. Man they are WHORING out SAO big time.

I love seeing Asuna sleep like in the following,

Cause she innocent and MOE. Enough said!

In thee end in the spoiler
WTF? The girl gets neck stabbed? Is she dead? Less that thing had poison I doubt it.

BTW End Art in the spoiler
fits with the start of this episode. Asuna x Kirito!

Best episode yet! <3

It was just aired about 40 minutes ago on tv, so it should take 2-3 hours to upload online.

Asuna plans to attack, and Kirito had to obey even if he disagrees. She grew up to be really strong headed.

lol @ she's obeying what he said about trying to sleep on the grass. She got embarrassed after waking up and she says she's paying for the food for him to look after her.

Some kind of incident with weird sword called Guilty Sword... Yoruko, who cried, was with that guy who got killed. Grim Rock, owner of the sword, was in same group as the guy who got killed and the girl who cried. At certain mission 6 months ago, the leader went and got killed. Then they got disbanded. They are separated into two group: agree vs. disagree with the getting of the item. Then Yoruko got killed.

Next ep. might reveal that player with doing such revenge action.

They cut out a few developments, but I'm sure it's probably for a reason [to be revealed as flashbacks once the mystery's being solved]. They also cut out a character, that was a bit puzzling, he offered a piece of advice that ultimately became quintessential to the mystery.

Well, that went along quite as it should.
Minor details that I'm sure people will complain about, but that should be cleared up in the next episode.
So, to all you whiners: keep your whine for the next episode, 'kay?
This is, after all, a 2-episode "arc", so no need to complain about missing stuff when there's still half to go, right?
And to all you spoiling people: don't.
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

It's Guilty Thorn. Agil even translated it afterwards with "tsumi no ibara", thorn of guilt.

Missed the livestream. Damn Penguindrum.
Yep. 2 episodes for Murder Case. There was no way this will fit one episode.
And it was done quite well. Sure they removed Kirito stabbing himself for real outside the city but they showed Asuna panicking because of his recklessness.
And the sleeping scene earlier. Very well done. They even kept the sneeze.
They saved time with Schmitt's shenanigans with getting the weapon while keeping the Golden Apple backstory. Though I can see the complaints for later with Yoruko and the window. Oh well.

Next week should be interesting with the appearance of one important character and several more that will sure to spice things up.

It was OK.

Explaining how PK is done while asuna was treating dinner was bad, i wanted to see how lovely kirito and asuna could be even though the topic was something boring like soy sauce.

Beautiful illustration at the end though :D

This episode was pretty good. I like how people are getting assassinated my type of action >:) The Guilty Thorn would hurt like hell to get stabbed back. You stab them one way then, twist the sword so all the points on the blade start cutting you nice and, slowly when you pull it out.

mmmm dat pain

Oh wow, so Doujins DO become canon, they incorporated parts of the Materia Edition 1: The Progressers.

So even fanfics the author writes CAN become canon hahahahaha.

But I am truly happy that they did this adaptation really well. Has most of the Mystery and details in it. :3

Believe me, disappointing to ppl who haven't read them as well.

This episode just felt rushed kinda and tried to force feelings on me again. The reactions and stuff were mehhh at most and and I just felt bored and kinda lol at how ooc were the reactions. The only interesting thing was the end when she was atked and died. The only interesting thing rly.

Geez, I rly can't wait till the 7th epi when the plot is supposed to pick up and have a decent story for once.

It was mentioned in the Novels that middle-floor mostly hear rumors about "The Black Swordsman" only the Frontliners and other solo peepz know what he looks like.

Black IS a very common color after all
