| I'm trying to figure out what even was the point of this continuation. Like... if you want to tell a story featuring new characters in a new world... then just write a new story. There's no need for Kirito and Asuna to be here at all. There's no reason whatsoever to tie this story to the SAO franchise. It's utterly discordant on both a technical and thematic level. |
| man, took me a long time to finish this as i lost interest when 'sketchy' things happened. all in all, probably better than the past SAOs, all i had to do was pretend it was a different show altogether. they do tend to jump a lot, and honestly both of them wouldve already had pages full of info in their local CIA/FBI/NSA watch list, but nope. also, i realized alice = darkness (konosuba) after they grew up, and was hoping for some herps and derps, no luck, as for interest in the continuation, maybe. i dont even know whats going on anymore since i dont remember what fluctlight is anymore, but i can already see the ending, that poison the assassin used, was definitely staged... |
| anime/manga version of steam would be awesome - https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1625396 |
| I knew Eugeo was gonna die, but still it hit me and I actually cried. This is definitely the best season of SAO (that’s not saying much though) and actually kept me entertained. I haven’t watched War of the Underworld yet, so hopefully it’s even better. |
| So I Finished SAO ALICIZATION This Last Episode Was So Exciting And Excellent One Ting I Hate It ..... -------------------------SPOILERS------------------------- I Hate The Die Of Eugeo I loved his caracter so much and it be so difficult to kill him in the last of the arc sooo......  |

| Damn what a cliff hangee |

Achaman said: meh after all that hype from people i expected more.. I don't understand why people say this is the "best SAO arc". It lacks that original feeling of dread of being trapped inside the game, and every single character there is just a NPC. I could not care less about Eugeo or Alice. As always, everything was quite rushed, which is a shame, and I feel the animation was not on par to the previous seasons. Dialogue was not the best, there were so many deus ex machina happening once again, some useless sacrifices... The only positive for me is the worldbuilding of that place. The story of the world is quite interesting and, being pretty well-developed, stuff made sense in general. What made no sense were all these flashy spells coming out of the sword, stuff that were never explained and that the characters suddenly had access to. What a disappointment. |

They explain this early on during the duel with that random knight; what someone is capable of in the system is tied to their belief/willpower. If someone believes they can do something enough, they'll be able to do it. This 'feature' gets extremely out of control in the War of the Underworld part of the series. |

Thank you for this explanation, now I remember that this was a thing. I still find it sort of prone to "deus-ex-machinations", as is the usual "strength of our friendship". It is often used to overcome difficult situations without any real reason. Still, this explanation is better than nothing at all. I think I'd rather have "fixed" and "quantifiable" power, instead of constant need of power creep in order to advance the plot, or to protect the characters. I also thank you for informing me that these powers get toned up on the sequel. I will adjust my expectations when I start watching. |
| Now that's some unexpected turn of events. |
| Well there you have it, the end of part one. The fight between the administrator and Kirito was really cool. I somehow predicted duel weilding would come back and when the Aincrad outfit came on, I knew shit was about to get real. Not really sure if the administrator lived or the clown somehow killed her? Anyway it looks like the focus shifts to the real world at least for a bit as the ocean turtle is being attacked by terrorists who plan to mess with the operations putting Kirito and Project Alicization in danger. Overall I gave part 1 of Alicicization a solid 7/10 which is a big step up from my previous SAO ratings. Certainly the best season so far and I'm excited to watch more. |
| Weird ending to this season, so did Administrator escape or not? The clown really should not have been able to jump onto here at this point. Though a lot of things in this episode made no sense, like Eugeo suddenly turning into a sword and Quinella forgetting all of her spells that she could use while floating in the air. Obviously a very incomplete season given the cliffhanger, but even with a proper ending it's the weakest season of SAO so far. Season 1 was still much better and even season 2 was more enjoyable. 6/10 |
| quinella died like that? what a huge disappointment, raped and killed by a random already dead clown. And how could kirito talk in real time with rath when his time is flowing faster than reality? whatever, at least I'll start next season with a character I hated less |
    |
| What a chad eugeo,he died like the most likeable character in every sao franchise,F. |
 |
| So Eugeo was just a proxy for the authors cuck fetish, I see. Overall? complete dogshit. |
| So I finally finished watching this, imma be honest, it was okay. I didn't feel a thing when Eugeo died, sucks yeah but I was just ehhh with it. I did like when Kirito got his regular Sword Art Online Black clothing. Got a little hyped by it but battle was too short and simple style for me. However the ending got my curiosity. |
| It was a good anime,it had action,drama,good soundtrack and a decent story; it wasnt perfect but at least it wasnt boring so ill say it was a 8 / 10. |
 |
| When Eugeo said "Stay cool" I went noooo. He was a good character. The BGM being ReoNa's 虹の彼方に during his last talk with Kirito too. When the song first played on Ep 19 I immediately thought it sounds nice. Thinking about the whole season, I might have gotten lost sometimes in the events (like why is this happening again???) but I appreciate the new characters introduced. |
| Of course the author went with killing off Eugeo (who barely even had any interaction with Alice of the present) and adding Alice to "Kirito's harem", instead of a happy reunion and more progression with this relationship. No, Kirito just has to have all the bitches lol... Aside from all the convenience and exposition dumps in this series, and there's a lot it, it was quite a fun little journey, a shame about that ending though. I want to give it an 8, but I think a 7/10 is a more honest score here. |
| After all, it seems like we did get Quinella and Kirito fighting each other like in the opening, nice! Also she was delusional until the very end, thinking she could meet Kirito in his world when she was just a system, but that clown finally did something good for once. The Eugeon departure at the end was really well done and sad. Now I get what Eugeo did with that crystal. So that means Alice also died, which sucks even more. But we still got Alice the knight AND ASUNA IS COMING?! That cliffhanger ending was so good. The ship we saw earlier turned out to be a "warship", but why was "The Turtle" attacked? AND PLEASE DON'T TELL ME KIKUOKA DIED! So many questions. How did Asuna get in and what is going to happen with Kirito. Overall, an alright season but I still prefer season 2. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Overall, a really good season of SAO. I'm really enjoying it now that the quality of the story and animation has increased drastically. I was definitely looking forward to SAO-A since I picked up the series again after putting SAO 2 on hold 3-4 years ago |
| 7:03 I can't get enough of Quinella's armpit. Aw, that's it? Is Quinella really dead? I hope she was able to get out of STL somehow. Anyway, I want to merge with her like that. Me and Quinella in one body forever. I think I'm in love! 15:59 That song is really good! Man, if the story was better, this would've been a tear-jerker moment. A glimpse of Asuna! and an interesting ending. 7/10 |
| Quite the cliffhanger to end this season on. Overall certainly better plot compared to previous SAO seasons especially in the visuals department. |
 |
| Just finished this again and Eugeo's death is still heartbreaking. |
| Can't believe I completed the "Overcome the urge to puch the computer screen everytime Eugeo shows up" challenge successfully. It was a hard fought 24 episodes for me but I'm prouf of myself honestly. |
Νεχ ποσσυμ τεχυμ ωιωερε, νεχ σινε τε. |
| Mother's Rosario & Alicization are the best things to happen to SAO. Between Yuuki & Eugeo, providing Asuna & Kirito characters that they form a fraternal bond with really ended up taking this series to the next level for me. Even though I'm rewatching this for the third time, that's the hardest I've teared up on Eugeo's "Stay cool." |

Boring, i dont like the story after the Sword Art Online game
| @SneaX16 this is the best season till now,, depth, mechanics and character build up improved by a long shot. |
| Please watch Sword Art Online Progressive, it's the peak of SAO. |
| This episode had no business being so fucking emotional by the end, for fuck's sake. |
| Pretend there's something flashy and cool here. |
| Eugeo dead I didn't sad at all 😑 He still just a piece of data (even it intelligent collected for future robot / AI).. RATH is on chaos 😱😱😱 I think Asuna will also "dive" from another room (which only one left they said / I think if I am not mistaken), The RATH member will do emergency lock, even thou Kirito's power supply tools dive.. Which will cause his brain on malfunction (disconnect).. I just don't like the cycle / pattern / concept.. Where Kirito has a girl near him, there will be Asuna come 😑 the script / scenario / story writer really didn't like them to separate for long.. |
