I'd like to see a character in the series who for once doesn't take the VRMMORPG game any seriously and just plays it for fun. He/she would probably be the only good character in the series. Oh well Asuna finally got out. But why did she wait untill morning instead of going out right after she knew the password to that gate? The fan service was ok. Felt a little bit forced though. And it looked like Suguha/Leafa wasn't wearing any panties lol. You would be surprised by how many gamers play mmo like that.And our games dont even come with Virtual Reality. Asuna waited for time to pass hoping that no one would monitor her her after midnight.She knew that Sgou wont monitor her after midnight so she just hoped for the rest.Once again that fat otaku did a good job at adapting the LN. |

| This episode was good, back with the dual swords even. A little bit of jealousy from Lyfa too :) |
 |
| Will they have another season cause this is no where near complete according to the light novel |

I havent seen .hack yet.Any of them.But at least in SAO,unlike other games series,you dont really mind their "seriousness". Recon and that guy that traded with Kirito seem pretty casuals gamers.Too bad that somehow they had to get involved with Kirito. |
| OH MAN, Kirito gets all the bitches! LOL. Leafa just got friendzoned. Okay, honestly, not a bad episode but what's with the meaningless talking in between the fights. Jeez, just let him fight and stop with the "he would never run away!" sentiments. |

Well it would be fine if they balanced it with more casual characters, you know like .hack. im the kind of gamer who dont want to die in a game like Dragon Nest, im usually playing fore defense than attacking just to make sure i clear the path without taking much damage and then eventually die and just respawn.. Its not fun that way either in my opinion |

| So Kirito adds 2 new girls to his harem and apparently he's also loaded with cash. The fighting was kind of cool but this show still sucks |
| Come visit my town // I apologize in advance for my second-rate English Join my fan club // Improve the transport network |
| This shows again how they can't come up with any new designs for swords. The sword Eugene used is the same one Yui used against that grim reaper to delete it. Other than that it was nicely animated |
| Nothing really wow'd me about it, so 4/5 for being enjoyable. |
| lol "kirito is my ...my...my" haha, dont worry, he is yor brother!! TT_TT no one was amazed from kirito's dualsword style, in the LN the were all amazed saying it was close to imposible halberdiers said: Takuan_Soho said: This episodes encapsulates everything I have disliked about this animation adaptation. yep u've summed up everything I've wanted to said about this episode. I don't expect them to have ufotable level quality (it's pretty obvious no one matches up to ufotable) but I would have expected an increase in quality over the usual slice-of-life at the very least. Being a LN reader I was hoping that the adaptation could redeem itself with this action-oriented episode but again it fell short. It seems like now that Asuna is out of the picture at the moment, they are trying their best to milk lyfa. They should have spent less time trying to provide fan service at every damn possible moment (what with all dat ass and breasts shots) and more on the action scenes where the flying looks awkward and action choreography is replaced with spamming flashes of lights. i know, but at least we got an adaptation, i just imagine the rest of the details from the novel in the anime just hope that when they animate GGO and the BoB, it will be better at lñeast 24 eps for the 2 volumes should be fiine instead of 24 eps for 4 volumes(whose idea was it...?) |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| Wow... they added a bunch of "plot" once again~ They animated Suguha's body movements when Kirito borrowed her Katana... just for the sake of fanservice -_- And I wasn't wrong. Good thing I didn't expect much from this animated fight. |
| Kirito building up his harem like the playboy he is. Among the 2 leaders... Alicia > Sakuya IMO. Nice to see Leafa getting all jealous, very cute indeed. Still wonder when are they gonna find out their real identities... Can't wait to see their reactions haha Epic aerial battle. Eugene's sword skills is seriously epic but I realised it could be a double-edged sword if both ppl swung their swords at each other. Kirito's double sword slashing was awesome! |
| I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN |
| Highlight of this episode was not the fight, but the amount of boobage we got. I swear the scene where Kirito took Lyfa's sword had better animation and frame rate than the fight itself. Dat quality, dat ass, dat gainaxing. Surprised they didn't mention the thing about duel wielding in ALO in this episode. |
| SICK EPISODE, Nuff Said |
| omg.. 5 more episodes :(!!!!!!! |

It'll increase Kirito's badass lvl. to the viewers or to the gamers in ALO? if it's the former, we already know he's a bad ass(hell he's gutz alter-ego) but to the latter; considering how he creamed the supposed strongest fighter in the game, adding that he can dual wield would really mean nothing to them and especially since sword skills/arts has nothing to do with ALO(anyone can dual wield, just nobody has). |

Yea, but I think they should have still made a note of it, other wise a lot of people would probably go "Why the fuck isn't anyone else dual wielding?" considering how popular it is in any game with the function. /off topic, damit MAL going retardo again and rollbacking my avatar. |
| So much T & A this ep. I approve. Was expecting Kirito to pull out the dual swords. Didn't expect him to pull it out of Leafa's ass haha ;D Still, Asuna escaping is pretty futile. I wouldn't be surprised if it was all according to that dude's plan. I mean, he literally has her life in his hands and is the GM of the game. I'm expecting him to erase her memories when she meets kirito or maybe even vice versa just for his entertainment. |
 |
| if i recall Yui explanation correctly, Kirito doesn't have his dual sword skill anymore. although he managed to use his body memory and game physics to stop that game breaking sword of his opponent. Also, i loved that darkness spell. It was SO drow. |
frid_kun said: if i recall Yui explanation correctly, Kirito doesn't have his dual sword skill anymore. although he managed to use his body memory and game physics to stop that game breaking sword of his opponent. Also, i loved that darkness spell. It was SO drow. Actually that's incorrect, Dual Sword skill was indeed removed but in ALO, anyone can dual wield, but apparently it's way to difficult for anyone to handle two swords at once. Not exactly sure why. And thus my post above as to why I'm curious why the anime didn't bother to mention it. |
| You'd think a show this popular could get the budget to animate a single decent fight scene, but alas... Guess they needed to save money for jiggle-tits. |

Their interest is like Heathcliff's.They just use seduction to make him join,instead of using Asuna. |
ssjokgNov 17, 2012 2:00 PM
| That was some intense action. And finally Asuna escaped! But I guess she can't log out on her own since it might be programmed that she can't. Can't wait for more. |

| Kirito is unstoppable killing machine. He has to much speed, p. def and HP to actually care about proper sword fight. therefor, he can use dualblades for further increase of DPS output. or for tricking his opponent with phasing sword. normal players has to behave themselves like actual swordfighters. and trust me, if you will come to reconstructors party with dual swords, you'll be slaughtered. |

eldon2 said: I was surprised how much I enjoyed the fight with Salamander general. The novel didn't make it seem practically exciting but that was by far my favorite fight in the series thus far. My only compliments concerning the fight were some poor animations issues with facial expressions and during certain portions were the creators tried to use a blur effect and it failed. Although the fight did bring up something I realized they have not openly discussed in the game. Does ALO have real pain mechanics like SOA did? I don't honestly remember from the novels but I noticed the general did seem to be actively suffering from the stab wounds towards the end of the fight. Also Lyfa's former leader scene with the slave girls made me raise a eyebrow. Never actually was mentioned in the novel but that was some interesting imagery. Neither SAO or ALO have physical pain mechanisms.It's all psychological but some scenes are overdoing it.And yeah that scene with Sigurd.... |

I believe when your hit with magic in ALO, it hurts you mentally, not like makes you retarded or anything but gives you a headache and such. Might be remembering incorrectly. |
eldon2 said: I am sure that SAO didnt have one....well too bored to find out about it...Will SAO did after everyone was trapped but thats just nitpicking :) If that's the case I am little surprised the general didn't try stabbing kirito with a dagger or his sword while they did the big finish midair dive. Oh well still a fun fight |
| This anime keeps getting worse and better. Seriously spectacular things keep on happening with no real overall progress. SAO was painfully rushed, cramped and no real content in development, just jumping here and there. ALO is moving at a turtle's speed, and with development we need to fill in with our imagination. We had 2 years in 15 episodes for SAO. And 2 days in 5 episodes for ALO. Serious business with pacing of an anime. 5/5 for the sheer amount of enjoyment out of nothing. |
