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? Don't click :P |

| Somewhat unrelated...but Anyone else feeling the holiday spirit? Although no one at my house can read this but I didn't care. |
| Cant wait for the next episode! |
Wild09 said: RockerXD said: A sad truth, but 8 weeks till the biggest shit storm of all forums Oh come on the ending isn't anywhere near as bad as what's about to happen in the next episode or two. At least the ending gets some sort of explanation. In fact I rather enjoyed the ending. Doesn't matter to some of the more hostile people, its gonna get torn apart real hard, i can just feel it |
| It's an okay episode but it wasn't that good than previous ones but atleast this is a transition to better parts. |

Just because Kirito and Asuna deserve to be treated like the shit characters they are. you my friend need a hug...I've pretty much seen you participate in every SAO thread claiming how shit it is yet you keep coming back for more 17 episodes later! now trying to find a term for what we call those types(tsundere?) It's best just to ignore the scum and leave him with his boku no pico. |

I'm scum because I would like to see some (darker) plot twists? And you know what: I think I'll watch Boku No Pico right now. It's possible that the romance aspect there is better handled than in SAO. Time for an experiment! Edit: I actually watched BnP and the sad thing is...SAO's romance looks more forced than that. |

| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| At the beginning I thought it will be a normal episode in which Kirito decides to save Asuna, but when Sugou said that he can manipulate memories of players I was terrified. I'm still worried about that Kirito and Asuna will lose their real memories. I don't want to cry like after 14 episode, so I hope that Kirito will save Asuna. |

vbyo said: Is it that bad or ? I'm sort of confused how ur spoiler is a huge deal ? Even if it is not bad it is still a spoiler as that goes beyond the episode this thread is about. If you read the first post in the thread you will know. Also, about your avatar....I don't like her hair, never have, never will, but that is my opinion lol. |

| Now i start to see this anime as a kind of Legend of Zelda. You know, elves, and a "princess" being held by an evil guy :P |

| does sugu doesn't realize that kirito is her brother, kazuto? damn looks like this is gonna turn to be virtual incest LOL |

| This arc has been extremely underwhelming for me. The sudden inclusions of psuedo-incest and rape don't really entertain me at all. At least not in the manner they seem to be being handled thus far. This villain's plan is also not very interesting or plausible to me. The transition to ALO was a bit sloppy, and hard to believe. All it does is bring up more questions and there isn't enough of a story or characters for me to look past a lot of it. I have one foot over the fence on this one. If this current arc is an indication of the kind of progression and logic that I can expect... then I don't really know if I care to continue. I can definitely see what people like about the show, and I can't fault them in any way. It just isn't quite what I want. Cheers! Score: 2/5 |
 |
| Enjoying this anime, friend of mine hates the romance, i enjoy it. Can't wait for the next episode. Although its wierd howd his sis has feelings for him ( Although not to clear what kind). Each their own i guess. |

| Ahhh, too much NTR! Can't wait for this creeper to meet his horrible end. I'm glad Asuna still remembers Kirito though. I half expected that guy to have altered her memories already. |
 |
Onyxthegreat said: Ahhh, too much NTR! Yeah, and it was interesting to see how they made Suguha play along with the game part of the story too. Makes the love triangle/NTR/whatever even more interesting to see. Apart from that I didn't really find this arc interesting, but it doesn't seem to be directed like that. |
| Romance in SAO almost as good as TITANIC. |

 |
| Erm... From the first post regarding Titania and Erza (from Fairy Tail) reference, it's more of a reference from Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream. The fairy king Oberon and queen Titania and the rest. Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Midsummer_Night%27s_Dream |
 Click him so that he will grow to learn that he is actually a she! |

Although its wierd howd his sis has feelings for him ( Although not to clear what kind). Each their own i guess. She is his cousin :P Isnt it still same blood? Of course it is. But this kind of incest is legally accepted in many countries. For some reason, the anime community is really fond of this kind of relationship. |

Kirito ALWAYS wins, every girl likes him, and he is instantly good at any game he plays. He ALWAYS beats the bad guy, and cheesy dialogue is used to pass off characterization as development. THAT is the logic he is talking about. Pretty much, yes. There isn't a logical progression to events a lot of the time, and it is irksome. I actually enjoyed most of the first arc up until it just abruptly ended with pretty much no warning. It isn't like I am saying it is pure crap. I am just saying it doesn't bother to apply logic to the progression of it's story. All I have is questions about almost every single thing, and that detracts from my enjoyment of the show. Also, I like norse mythology... and when I heard Alfheim I was excited, and then they called it the 'Land of Faeries' and my heart almost dropped out of my chest. |

| @Takuan_Soho, Very well said, and I particularly like the following you said: Which is what is so annoying about the complaints: there are things in SAO worth complaining about, but when it boils down to it, the real complaint of these people is that the show is not dumb enough for them. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? 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. |
symbv said: I havent read anyone complaining about Kirito being transferred near to Lyfa/Sylph's territory instead of his staring city yet...I guess that was normal for them..We had no explanation yet@Takuan_Soho, Very well said, and I particularly like the following you said: Which is what is so annoying about the complaints: there are things in SAO worth complaining about, but when it boils down to it, the real complaint of these people is that the show is not dumb enough for them. |

| At last an anime where the lead doesn't start out as a useless spaghetti-o and ends up like Optimus Prime. I've longed for an anime that starts out with a strong lead character, instead of the useless piece of shit I get served in literally any other anime. Stop complaining and watch something else instead. Before you do though, let me predict your next anime: It includes teenagers and high-school is involved in some way. The lead will start out as a piece of trash, but will end up like Mohammed Ali with babes ready to tattoo the other part of his face. Good riddance. |
Mr. Wonsworth, you may NOT eat my scones! |

Kirito at the very beginning was a noob and then we get a time skip and he is Jesus in the game. lolz. He will beat all the bad guys and get all the harem bait. |
Takuan_Soho said: meepsheep said: But you just described SAO. Kirito at the very beginning was a noob and then we get a time skip and he is Jesus in the game. lolz. He will beat all the bad guys and get all the harem bait. Nope, at the beginning of the game, Kirito was one of the best (if not the best) beta tester, so it is only natural that he would end up becoming one of the top players in the actual game. He had a head start in understanding how to level up. There is also the point that at the beginning of the game Kirito abandoned his friend in order to get a head start on leveling up. So, he literally traded his soul for power. Kirito may have been a noob in real life, but his passion for VR games would be hard to match and explains why he can become great in any game he plays. He wants it more. No, like the very very very beginning before he was a beta tester. The first time he played :p You can't be good at something when you first do it. |
Takuan_Soho said: Listen, I know you don't like SAO. It's understandable with you being a female. I get it, I really do. But you really need to stop projecting things that aren't there, it weakens the valid arguments you could be making. Might be a bit irrelevant but...W-W-Wait, now you're saying that females can't like SAO? So far, all the females I know IRL like it, maybe minus myself, and only some guys :P I still stand by my point. No one was technically strong from the start. |
It's understandable with you being a female. Playing the gender card eh?  |
| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |
