Very enjoyable series. AsunaxKirito was sweet throughout the entire thing, and that is a plus for me.
A few nitpicks here and there, but I always looked forward to a new episode .. 7/10 for me :D

I AGREE! Then again anime industry tip 101, ideas will be recycled one way or another.

I don't mind as long as variations of it are good. This one fails sadly.

Seriously, though, if you disliked a show or series so much why watch it to the end just to come to the last episode to talk shit about a series you didn't like? Just drop the damn show and stop commenting. No one gives a fuck what you think, the only thing you make yourself do and look is a moron.

I'm not one to hate on SAO but I think you guys needa calm down... really... and honestly, trying to stop the trolling and hating is pointless. They feed off your effort. Just look at the other 200+ SAO threads including the episode discussions.

That was an alright ending. Loved the final showdown and meeting all the other SAO people. This was a pretty good series with awesome action sequences. I should really start to read the novels.

Lol wouldn't it have been awesome if Kirito actually sliced that guy's neck? Season two would be fu*king madness!

I can't wait to see Gigguk's review of this anime. I'll be rofling all day from that.

Well, that went pretty much as it should have. More or less. At times.
Too bad we'll probably never see the rest animated.
Or actually, that's kind of good. Don't want A-1 to screw anything else up.
Can I have a remake by some studio that can actually do adaptions properly? Like, uh, White Fox? Please? No? Okay, fuck you A-1.

One must be the lowest kind of a human being if you add this anime just to give it a lower score.

People who hate this anime don't even belong in the SAO forums.

It's over?
A bit sad and a bit happy
Happy because at least there will be less SAO trashing
Sad because it ended
Although I'm disappointed with ALO arc, the whole ride was an enjoyable one
SAO 8.5/10
ALO 6.5/10
Overall 7.5/10


I agree 100% with this. Every bit.

I'm so glad they brought back the original OP, it really wrapped it up nicely. Such a great song!
Asuna's outfit was beautiful!
The whole part with the school and the real world "transfer" over was really cool. I appreciate that they did that and didn't leave it out or I would've been mad.
I didn't like the whole Kirito and Leafa dancing scene. What did that have to do with anything? Perhaps acknowledgment of them only being cousins? Her moving on? We may never know but I just thought it was extremely awkward. As was her reaction to Asuna reaching out for her at the end.
Overall a beautiful episode. A perfect finale to top off the disappointing ALO arc imo. The Asuna and Kirito "meeting" scene absolutely melted my heart :') Overall, I'm very pleased with A-1 for this final episode. I hope they don't make anymore because that was the perfect way to wrap up the series. We'll see though...you never know :P

Pretty decent adaption of the ending of volume 4. I cringed when they showed man-Zelda's eye but good thing he got those injuries. The kiss scene was alright... Seemed like they used tongue for the bonus service. I especially loved the scene of SAO Kirito and SAO Asuna walking towards the night. The highlight would be the dance scene of Kirito and Sugu. That was beautiful and the music was great. They then reunite with their friends of ALO and SAO to journey off to Aincrad. The anime was alright.... I don't hate or like it. I despised the fan service scenes, the amount of bouncing boobs and ass shots, but overall, great animation for the fighting scenes (except there were some really weird face animations) and VA. I'll give it a 8/10. It went up two points because I felt the animation was nicely adapted from the novels. The fight scenes and music were great. Overall, it's an alright anime but people have got to calm down with the "SAO IS BEST IN THE FUCKING WORLD" comments.
Too bad they didn't have an introduction of the new characters for the upcoming season (I wanted to see the anime version of Shino SO FUCKING BAD) like Accel World. Well, with the overratedness of this anime and how people like to let out their juices with Sugu and Asuna, SAO would probably get a decent amount of sales for a 2nd season. Hopefully, if they ever make a new season, they get a new company to do it for them.

Wouldn't be surprised if they haven't even seen the episode yet.

I am such a sucker of romance in anime! God! the ending was so perfect I couldn't but give the anime a 10 out of 10.

Yeah, I was joking. Even for all the hype around Asuna x Kirito, it never infected me after the end of SAO arc. The anime was doing pretty decent even into ALO but then it just became a countdown for me to finish and get over with because I had already seen more than half of it anyways. But if they make a sequel, count me out.

I am going to stick with a 6/10 because it's worth just that much to me, and when the score is pretty much based on animation quality and background music, you can already tell how the characters and the story sucked overall for me.

SAO arc: 7/10 (it was an 8 until the asspull in ep 14)
ALO arc 5/10 (this ep upped it from 4 to 5)

The show had some good points but there were a lot of flaws as well.

It had a great first episode which made me really hyped, sadly it made me disappointed. Excluding the side stories that had such a stupid placement, the SAO half was decent. ALO was pretty bad though.

There were a few moments where I was entertained by the pure cheesyness of it (not quite "so bad it's good" but something akin to that). Good animation, good sound, Kajiura Yuki makes good music. Characters are pretty weak though.

Final verdict? 6/10. I was entertained but not much more. Will probably watch the second season when it comes if I'm bored enough.

So... I'll miss this anime. Jet, I like the first 14 episodes, when ALO begins was really boring and I forgot some parts of this (so, I can rematch it)

Talking about the episode, was really good, with a happy ending and with all SAO characters in a party.
