I can tolerate if if Kirito's avatar looks different and sounds different, but she can't notice him even though the proofs are there? Change the hair and voila, her brother... Oh anime logic. Your IQ does not seem to be above Suguha though. What proofs are there for Suguha to notice Kirito? The author and the anime staff already disclosed that they keep the voice of Kirito and Suguha in the game even though actually they should be different in order to help the anime watchers. Same goes for the avatar -- it should have been more different too but in anime they did not change the look so much. "Your IQ does not seem to be above Suguha though. " Personal attack isn't nice, grouch. Bad decision on the anime staffs part, I guess. They can't expect casual viewers to follow their every news. External information can be misleading to anime-only viewers. Avid fans may know these facts, but for people like me, the decision to keep the avatar and voice wasn't a wise step. |

| the voice in game should be different than the outside world, but the anime didn't do a very good job of that for kirito while Lyfa speaks differently i just hope they keep |

The author of SAO clearly underestimates the power of information gathering.

I can tolerate if if Kirito's avatar looks different and sounds different, but she can't notice him even though the proofs are there? Change the hair and voila, her brother... Oh anime logic. Don't know who to blame, the character designer or the author. and Not sure if it's really a plot hole or I am biased because I dislike Suguha. No information about Aincrad was spread. It was not recommended for victims to give interviews and so on. In the SAO incident, none of this information had been made public, especially character names. This was because in that world there was frequent fighting between players and the result was often a horrible death in the real world. If unrestricted publication of this information was allowed, it would not be difficult to imagine a large number of lawsuits being filed. Kirito's avatar looks different, his voice is changed a little, Suguha knows almost no information about his life in SAO (only Asuna's name, not even Kirigaya's nick). Now there are no clues for her to recognise, I see, this is a logical explanation. So I guess the government in SAO is capable to cover it up by not recommending people to sell away information. Okay. I think the anime should be more accurate with info like these. There were still many things left unexplained in the anime. It's like they're telling anime viewers to "f*ck off, just read the LN" |

Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

Defending a (clearly) fictional anime character is alright and permitted, but personally attacking people with remarks like "low IQ" just because I am entitled to my own opinion is plain ignorant, and your attitude clearly lacks courtesy... I don't care though, Xaliuss has already explained things that I questioned before. "I guess the decision is that the priority is for the avid fans. Can't blame them." ^ I see your point. Wouldn't hurt if they could improve this anime for it to be able to be understand-able to non-LN readers too, though. At this point I'll have to frequent the MAL forums just to gather missing informations. Like how Kirito's items are still there, how he could convert Yui into an item, preventing her from being erased just by typing awfawofiawjfo on the keyboard, and like how Asuna's appearance in ALfheim remains unchanged. Oh but I already know the reasons, just for clarification. |

Disliking them is one thing, characters can be perceived as unlikeable or bland by some people after all, but wishing them that kind of treatment is another, as much as you may dislike Asuna, what Sugou is doing to her isn't something that a normal sane person would praise. yeah... dude... there's something wrong with you if your think that type of treatment is okay.. the author is obviously demonizing Sugou by making his character kidnap her from real life into virtual space not to mention harassment and molesting..... It makes a great netorare material though *runs away* |

But I'm still anxious whether the public is in rage with the government because they're keeping the truth away, or they just ignore it. But this is SAO, so these things won't ever be explained. An incident involving 10.000 of human lives would not be easily covered up in reality. The world will demand truth. |

I don't care though, Xaliuss has already explained things that I questioned before. I don't know your logic. Why should one use a particular rude remark against a fictitious character but cannot accept the same level of politeness (rudeness) against himself? Basically if you like to use rude and demeaning words, be prepared that they may be used against you. Besides I did not say "low IQ". You did. I just said that you do not seem to have higher IQ than Suguha, and Suguha should have pretty high IQ in my opinion. And interestingly, I am no fan of SAO -- I see quite a lot of flaws in it, but your complaints are not one of them. |

My point is, if you perceive Suguha as a character with high IQ, then prove it to me. Don't resort into personal attack just because you can't prove it. By saying that my IQ is not higher than Suguha to respond to my first argument that "Suguha has low IQ", it is the same with saying that my IQ is also low. You didn't say that but that's what your remark implied. "I am no fan of SAO -- I see quite a lot of flaws in it, but your complaints are not one of them." LOL. Interestingly I'm a fan of SAO, but you know this anime even better than me. |

You didn't say that but that's what your remark implied. Well you resorted to use demeaning words to describe a character when it is not true at all. You only expose your own self-importance because you think you can be condescending to those characters created by staff and authors who have competent track record behind their works, but when you were only suggested that those characters are not worse than you thought you reacted angrily - my comment can only be a personal attack if what you said about Suguha having low IQ is true. Frankly I did not believe you would seriously think that Suguha has low IQ, but if you somehow really believe Suguha has low IQ, then I have doubt about how intelligently you are viewing your anime. |

| Scum..Scum..Scum...Sugou is Scum. Also..are you freaking kidding, so Kirito's sister is Lyfa, and now she's gonna fall in love with him again thinking its someone else....aah...how idiotic. Is there really no other guy for her to fall in love with..like that Recon guy...The only thing that gives me comfort is that I know how much Kirito loves Asuna : ) I was glad to see Asuna/Titania again.... Also father and daughter moment was AWESOME!! |

| Yet another satisfactory episode, I like how this goes. Still, I keep wondering how is Kirito going to make it before the deadline - what kind of miracles will he do again, lol Yeah, Sugou does make people hate him pretty well (which reminds me of Accel World's Noumi), but that just makes it even more satisfying when he gets what he asked for >:D Don't you agree? |
