| The only thing I could praise in this episode would be that hillariously detailed tentacle animation. And of course it's reserved for Sugu. |
| Ngl, Leafa acted like an intelligent character, and I almost started liking her, then she goes with that, the bitch appears, and turns the episode into a hentai, no thanks, fuck you leafa, and fuck you bitch, at least the bitch is finally dead. Old support characters are almost here again so that's nice, and I swear to god if Bercuoli dies Ill hate this. |
 |
| This sh1t is actually some straight doodoo, if only they kept the original cast from the start of the Alicization arc. Now we get Leafa enjoying tentacle pron for half of the show and then of course good general guy dies while fighting the emperor. All this sh1t is too obvious and I'm dissapointed they had to bring back Kirito's harem that ain't even gonna get his meat. |
| SAO is back, with everything you come to expect from SAO lol Either way, OP is great, so far it doesn't have much competition for OP of the season. I really loved the visuals of it though, that was really neat! Leafa has joined the gang as well and I am just going to avoid discussing THAT scene too much.. She took good care of that girl though in the end. Still, poor Leafa! Action is as you come to expect from Alicization, it delivers once again!! Bercouli vs Vector was pretty great, so Vector has some crazy abilities himself. Honestly hope it won't be the end for Bercouli, he's been a cool dude whenever he was on screen, but feel like we never really got enough screentime of him! Finally Klein joined in the battle as well now!! Good to see him! _MushiRock11_ said: Starting off with controversy, that's some way of kicking things for the final season of the Aliciazation arc. About that (near-) rape scene though, was it even necessary in all honesty? I'm not going to be jumping on the negative spectrum of this soon-to-evolve controversy though... That moment when you are looking for the episode discussion thread and the first thing you see are the "controversy" threads.. SAO is back alright... Either way, I do agree that it felt unnecessary and out of place, but definitely not jumping onto this bandwagon of controversy as well.. |
 |
| That scene was ultra cringy and borderline disgusting. Why does the studio need to do this? Just when I thought of SAO better and actually was semi invested. Fuck leafa, I tried to like her but she's stupid af, or they made her stupid to do the scene. Ugh. Such bad taste for a first episode. |

| Great first episode, full of cool entrances from the SAO main squad! They've all got some pretty OP skills so the battles from this point forward are gonna be dope af! I liked that this episode was pretty gory in places too... I likes gore hehe That scene with Leafa getting tentacle raped was a bit toooo disturbing and it felt really out of place and unnecessary but that's my only criticism! |
 |
| I was hoping leafa would die after her initial rape. But I was let down. But not a bad episode. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I've been defending Alicization nonstop because compared to the earlier seasons, I felt like Alicization was a big step up for the series But the rape thing just killed my mood for this unfortunately. Couldn't enjoy the rest of the episode which wasn't even bad |
 |
| how did leafa ended in underworld? she entered in 1 season to the game, i dont remember something like this, and now she enters like from nowhere |
| Right off the bat we get the absolute shit show that is the writing for Alicization. Seriously? A tentacle rape? I swear, the idiots who wrote this tripe don't know how to make a villain or antagonist that isn't a creepy psycho rapist that enjoys nothing but causing pain and misery. How about some mature themes and nuanced writing for once? God forbid an antagonist with motives that are actually interesting or even compelling for once. This trash is pathetic. Even garbage isekai anime like Death March have better writing than this. |
 |
| It’s a great episode, I really can't wait to see the rest of this last part animated. I always get hyped from watching SAO. By the way, the opening is just superb, I love it. Even the way it’s animated is gorgeous, the last part is incredible. Moreover, Leafa scene was not in the novels, it was completely different. A-1 Pictures took the decision to make it darker. |
 |
| Whoever sees rape in this episode has a dirty mind. Or is a sheep. ... Who am i kidding, you are both, lol |
| Glad SAO is back. Hopefully the payoff for when Kirito awakens is worth the wait given the long tease! |
 |
| Did anyone else felt like this episode was extremely rushed? I mean, this season has been fast paced but this episode felt like it was somewhat extremely compressed... |
| Gotta update this soon™ |
| not a fan of Leafa immediately getting tentacle graped from the jump...Klein’s entrance however, i like |
| this sums up my thoughts while watching this was like really SAO? starting off with this bad habits die hard huh. i been in this hole so long i can't back out no matter how bad it gets sad no LISA it's my favorite part of watching this |
 |
| and here i'm savouring the OST of Kajiura Yuki! more reinforcements on the way! revolting tentacle rape on Suguha already!? i hope Sinonon would get there on time to save Alice! 5/5. |
 |
| So starts the final season. The OP is blowing while the ED is damn beautiful with Kirito coming back from death. We begin where the 3rd cour left off. Damn the Americans are boring as the last one. We also get the controversial rape assault scene to begin, man what a start. Also Vecta is inexplicably stronk. Can't wait for the next episode!!! |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Damn Reona OP is so lit!!! Thank You for fanservice suguha, hope they keep the quality like this until the end of season Ignore the hate for this anime, let's go final season for this arc!! |
 |
| HAHAHAA the imouto... "No, i must endure... i cannot just arrive and start to kill people who are cleary psycho and are abusing sexually of me with tentacles... i must endure, ah ah, maybe more 15 min... hey, get out coc*block pig!" |
 |
| Anyway, i loved this start, better than most of previous season. Now the characters that we are used to are back. Tales of Knights of the Cubic Table, no more! |
|
Best anime of 2020, Sinononon pulled an airborne on the red mobs, poor guys got sinonononed. RIP Sexual Chocolate, sad to see her get SOGOOED by SUGU! :3 In this day and age so many mentally weak and sensitive people. DIL is known to drain and torture the life out of her enemies in war so it's pretty tame. On the otherhand Porky the Pig overcame his urge. Asuna is simply the best waifu evar as usual. Our Broski Klein and friends finally balled into the Underworld. And may Bercoullio/Factorio makes his final flight. |

rezme2 said: they had some impeccable english in the subbed version "wha da hell, this game is a really suck" "I'm soon be log out" 10/10 lol If Gabriel had adviced the amerikajin gamers to speak "SYSTEMU CARU" before anything, they would have enjoyed it more. |
|
| Was not ready for the tentacle rape-- it left no room for imagination. Damn Leafa...always getting the short end of the stick. Why the heck did she get dropped so far from spawn point? Really in love with the opening and ending-- I'm hoping neither song will be used to rip my heart later on. |
| So I'm guessing Leafa/Terraria's special skill is an earthen terrain activated by her blood that constantly restores her health if she's in it. Unfortunately that meant an extra long "mana transfer" session... At least DIL died really fast. Can she please stay dead this time...? This is going to be an interesting season since I just got the new Alicization Lycoris game. Watch all these characters die (I'm assuming Bercouli's going soon) and then in the game they probably won't. I half expected the OP/ED to be done by LiSA, but these were still pretty decent. Sinon reuniting with Kirito was also really sweet. She even gave him a little kiss on the cheek to remind him how grateful she is for everything he's done for her. |

| Btw, nothing nothing... The fluctolighto people are legit people. Kirito was all mental for killing 3 or 4 guys in Aincrad, then killed 1 more "digital real people" in the whole aliczation 1st arc. Neither the main villain we can say exactly that was killed by him (was really killed?) Then Asuna (0 real life kills) arrives and kills tons of dark territory digital real people. Even Sugu arrives, loses her virginity, and proceed to kill the 1st digital real people. Are the girls ok with that? |

| Not a big fan of the first episode. Especially that whole Leafa scene was cringy as hell. I was like just deal with her already, I know you will. So much for "nOt gOnNa kiLL anYoNe fRoM tHiS woRlD befOrE I kNoW whAt's up!!" Klein somewhat rescued my excitement at the end. Expecting a nice second episode. Please don't let me down, I waited so much for this season!! Oh and as for the music. Both opening and ending are bangers. Reona and Aoi Eir always deliver. |
 Kal'tsit: Is that... really worth it? Amiya... Amiya: Even if no one understands me... I'll keep going on the path I choose. Maybe it will incinerate me to dust... But if I don't do it, no one can. Arknights ▵ Crylix#0810 |
We back! Damn corona lol. Strong episode to start. Leafa bringing some good ethics too. Also wow, someone really used the word "incarnation", multiple times...I feel nostalgic. And the power Vecta used to "cheat" on Bercoulli, isn't that the same trick Kayaba used to win the duel against Kirito in SAO? I think so. He basically paused the game to make a move and then resumed it. And Klein is here! And everyone else is coming down! Can't wait for Tiese&Co to see Klein and sigh in relief at a male member of Kirito's harem :P |

| bruh |
| First 10 minutes and SAO is already doing this trash, color me surprised. Talk about a crap way to start a season and immediately lower my opinion of the show. |

"No, i must endure... i cannot just arrive and start to kill people who are cleary psycho and are abusing sexually of me with tentacles... i must endure, ah ah, maybe more 15 min... hey, get out coc*block pig!" here is how it was explained in the LN "— I have to endure this. Suffering an excruciating pain she had never felt before either in the real world or ALO, Leafa could only repeat this to herself. Before she dived, she heard the explanation of Super Account 03 «Terraria, Goddess of the Earth»’s powers. Unlimited automatic recovery. Automatically absorbing energy from the wide space around her, to recover her own durability or that of any static or animated object. According to that technician named Higa, her already vast HP level, together with that power, made it virtually impossible for her to die from HP loss. That was why Leafa had decided to risk being captured to challenge Dark God Vector, and simultaneously chose not to draw her sword against the people of Underworld. The woman tormenting her now was an Underworld resident like Rirupirin — an Artificial Fluctlight. If she was slashed with a sword, her soul would be completely destroyed. Without knowing how she had gotten wounded and why she wanted to recover, Leafa could not battle her." |
