So why was he able to drive the buggy easily?


He drives a motorcycle in real life. A Yamaha DT125R to be exact. And I'm sure there is a system assist in the game, it doesn't completely replicate real life driving.


Ah ok, I don't think they ever showed us that so it was a kinda weird scene.. any particular reason he hid that from her? Well actually if it's a plot point then don't bother with the spoiler, but if it's something A-1 just left off then w/e post it under a tag. I'm just guessing it's so she doesn't suspect he's a guy?

Solid infodump episode xp...


Compared to the previous episodes of infodump, this hardly qualifies.

Were the previous episodes infodumps? I honestly didn't think they were... xp... I guess that's a good sign??

Every time i see someone complaining about "slow pace" I can't help but facepalm.

You people do realize that SAO novels are mostly characters interacting and talking than actual action, right?


So far this is very accurate to LN's unlike the previous season where they cut out most of Kirito's character development and progression.

he were driving it when went to the hospital. He doesn't want her suspect anything...there are apparently not many that drives one in their real life.

You seem him drive his motorcycle to the hospital last episode. And hid the fact he was a guy from her because she looked hostile to men so he thought she would only help him if she thought he was a girl.

Huh, maybe I have bad memory or something but I didn't remember seeing that. Also yeah I know he hid that he was a guy because of that I was wondering why he hid that he could drive a motorcycle IRL. I just assumed it was because she might get suspicious about his gender but I dunno.

He didn't say anything about him driving a motorcycle IRL because there was no need to.

That's not "trying to be badass" that's a reflex. Kirito has been doing the same things for years in SAO.

Its why he is so fast and has these reflexes. Its instinctual for him by now. Its not something he haxxed or just acquired out of nowhere.

The movies he "shows off" is the moves he used in SAO and ALO. The exact things that were burned into his brain through pure darwinian survival in SAO's death game.

"putting your sword behind your back" is part of that instinct.

This is quite funny to see it animated. (Although as always after reading SAO, watching it is somewhat disappointing). Also while reading you can just turn off description of Kirito and have him not being trap.

This Trap is going to launch a thousand doujinshi's, I'm calling it right now.

I don't understand why people complain about the pacing. It's building things up nice and easy. Why rush things? The first of the first season went through things too quickly IMO.

well, CS and WOW basically use same engine, but different genre, SO if you want to compare , why dont your analogy compare between CS and L4D? fair enough :) haters gonna hate, so i'll just sit here and laughing about any troll coming for this episode.

Because in SAO the nerve gear killed players not the game itself. The new nerve gear is 100% safe.

If you died in SAO you would die irl too so its not that unfamiliar with GGO now. Except that you gotta get hit by a certain man.

It's not even that good a trap. I suppose if it gets us some "Asuna on top" doujinshi I could be down for it... wait, what?

It's taking some getting used to with Kirito's "girly" voice, and while I'm still disappointed he has a voice mannish enough that I can't buy Sinon thinking he's really a girl, it could be worse. Admittedly for all the problems I wanted to find with Kirito going into GGO and already being awesome, I found it endearing that it played on Kirito's inherent sense of being awesome.

I'm glad they did it the way I thought they would, with his stats from ALO carrying to GGO instead of him starting over and just being awesome right off the bat. It also demonstrates and explains with the dodging game how he intends to use his current abilities to make it through GGO. And oh the Star Wars jokes that are going to come from that lightsaber... oh, I'm sorry, "photon sword". I did like how it kept Kirito a complete n00b when it came to handling his gun though. That was pretty funny.

God help me, this season is good so far.

Again, that is the nerve gear being a microwave not SAO being deadly.
And again, if you paid attention during episode 1 they explained in great detail why the new nerve gear is 100% safe.

Wait, would you mind explaining in more detail because I probably forgot. How do they know it's not the Nervgear doing shit again?

And also, the logic is not that far off
Before SAO: "This Nervgear is safe"
-microwaves brains
Before ALO: "This Nervgear is ACTUALLY safe"
-fucks with your brain
Before GGO: "This Nervgear is FINALLY SAFE YOU GUYS"
???


It's because it's not a NerveGear anymore that was designed by Kayaba Akihiko, but an Amusphere designed by RECTO and tested to be safe. If you punch someone while they are diving, security features would immediately log them out of VR.

I thought it was funny that the first thing he did was reach to see that he had no breasts, but didn't reach for his junk. Like, come on man, you may be an author-designated gaming god, but that doesn't mean you'd automatically get huge voluptuous breasts if you became a woman :)
