Increased heart warning :O

Episode felt slow but it looks like the others are trying to find more info on Death Gun and Laughing Coffin. I wonder how long they've been in that cave all this time Who knows how long until Sinon gets over her fear though. Well, hopefully they'll be able to take down that guy...

Overcoming trauma? So Death Gun works in pair? Wait, Sinon in real life is in danger?

That guy who requested the main guy happens to enter in his avatar, and Asuna and the group understood the situation. Finally in action after hiding.

A-1, please, stop with all the ass shots, suggestive poses and angles.
The cave scene felt so much more platonic in the novel...

Ah, A-1, just had to make sure we noticed Shion's rear one more time. Even though Kirito is dedicated to Asuna, who can blame him for appreciating the view?

Nice explanatory episode, now I want to hear all the people who said that this show is "soooo predictable" but who never even got close to the explanation to come forward and confess that they got it wrong.

Hah, as if that would occur :-)

Feel sorry for Shion during that episode, it would be a horrible thing to have to contemplate that while she was in the game someone could do that to your body. But nice to see her starting to recover.

Anyway nice episode. Not spectacular, but very serviceable and I do have to give A-1 credit for working in the other characters because they will be needed for the next arc.

Pretty cool episode~ Finally, the plot starts moving again and the mystery of Death Gun begins to unravel~

Though, as mentioned multiple times, the fanservice seems just a tad bit unnecessary - I kinda wish that they'd just focus on the more serious side and stop giving us so much of this fanservice for guys. I mean, come on, it kinda ruins the dark mood you yourselves are trying to set up here, A-1 =I

Just like Sinon, my heart was actually pumping too.
Thinking that a person from the real world is actually right beside me, waiting for the Death Gun's signal to stop my heart, while I'm "sleeping".

Really no wonder that coffin was actually laughing, laughing that players will die in a pathetic way.

Sinon making power moves to get over dat trauma and some Holmesian deduction by the super sleuths. But other than that, nothing else really happened. Looks like shit is gonna go down in the next episode (I can't even count the number of times that I've said that this season).

However, most importantly, bravo to A-1 for the glorious return of Sinon's ASS Online. It nearly brought me to tears. Sinon was showing off her "assets" and it was just... spectacular/asstacular. Sir Mix-A-Lot understands me completely.

hope all the slow stuff is done now. hopefully some action next episode.

One thing that irritates me is the fact that death gun is going around killing people, its been confirmed to them that he can kill people yet when someone dies in the game and they know that they have also died in real life, they dont give a shit, even though Kirito seems distraught by the people he has killed

Pretty decent build-up episode. Nothing really to complain about, except for the typical Sinon ASSservice and slow pacing. Does that not ruin the mood or what?

I find Desudesu Gan's method to be fairly interesting. Did not expect that to be his way of murder.

Felt some tension when Sinon's heart rate increased, the OST complemented that scene very well.

Asuna will probably kick Kirito's ass if she saw the footage from the broadcast camera.

I liked the episode overall, explained most of the things and so on.

The scene was great, hate seeing Kikuoka tho. I guess everything its explained now and next chapter its just Death Gun vs Kirito and the last part of GGO arc.

I guess noone else will complain about "romantic vibes" specially because of the way Kirito was kinda keeping his distance with Sinon, but most of people would misunderstand that hug, sigh.

Overall, great chapter, liked it. 4/5.

The only reason its not 5/5 for me its... ass, so much fucking ass focusing. Well, that Kirito part was normal, but other 7 times? cmon.

Oh btw, according to LN, they stayed in that cave for almost 30 minutes.

Although they were still in the cave again, the conversations were much more interesting than last episode.

We learned so much info in this episode :D

2 Death Guns= 1 LC members....

Good scenes with Asuna learning about situation, and the fact that Death Gun #2 is in Sinon's room, creepy....

Overall a pretty good episode, building up for the next one.

Why would anyone want that?? They figured out how DeathGun is behind it, There's a guy in Sinon's room watching her while she's unconscious, lol.next week should be all the action I've been waiting for. I hope Asuna didn't see them in the cave snuggling up on the live broadcastXD

The whole idea of having someone in your room, while you're lying there completely oblivious to anything, is enormously creepy. If I was Sinon I'd be a lot more nervous than she seems to be.

All those butt shots. LOL.

Did anyone else dislike the cuddling at the end? Even when planning strategies they have to hold arms. I was also enjoying the lack of castoff harem members and the strong focus on Kirito and Sinon. AT LEAST SHOW US THE HAREM'S REACTION TO BEING RECORDED >_<

More "necessary" skin-ship while Asuna's not watching.

Sinon : How are you able to be so strong now ?
Kirito : I cried to get my little sister and the nurse's routes, harem is my strength. You in?
Sinon : Mhmm.. keep talking while I feel your strong thing down here.

Oh look, people complaining about pacing AGAIN -____-

You like it or not, majority of SAO is NOT about action. ITs about characters interacting and reacting to what happened to them. SAO1 was "action-packed" because A1 decided to adapt 52 episode material into 20 episodes in SAO1, in a sense cutting out all character growth, tactics discussion and psychological reactions.

SAO2 so far faithfully adapts the light novels, so expect a LOT of talking and interactions.


Overall great episode and its nice to see the characters put two and two together and figure out what happened and discuss tactics, so what they do next does not feel like an asspull or "godmode" like many of SAO1 criticisms were.

5/5

FINALLY we get to the damned deductions Kirito-sama is da best detective evaaaa!
And the harem is made "relevant" again by Asuna wanting to save Kirito from the eeevil nurse! And don't forget: SUPPORT KIRITO! We should've followed him!(psshht, you still can dimwits!)

And a genius action plan to take down Desu Gan! He will totally not snipe you off with a silenced sniper, because Kirito-sama is omnipresent!

5/5 Padding!

No they can't. They can't reach them or enter the tournament. The moment Kirito got ported to tournament, they can't reach him there and tournament players can't log off during it. So nope. they can't follow him there.

Damn... this episode was pretty good. But..

DAT ASS. SINON!!! ERMYGERD.

Kirito be staring at that finally. Oh boy. Anyways. Poor Sinon, i hate to thing some creep is standing over her real life body right now. That disgusts me. Hopefully Kirito will send help or get out of the game first and run over to Sinon's real body in real life and kick the creeps ass.

Kirito's harem is real... even Klein has joined in. So its now 6 girls plus Klein. Godly.

Can't wait for next episode. Arghhh the pacing is too slow!!! Can't wait for the next arc after the 12th episode. Oh man.

5/5. for this one.

Question... wouldn't it have made more sense for sinon to tell kirito her address then shoot kirito and have him log out? Or can't you log out at all (even when dead) until the tournament is over?

Seen the dead bodies remain on the ground? You can't log out during tournament if you participate in it. If you die you most likely get to watch it and have to wait till it ends.

Considering their motivation, why don't they find that out on the spot? Heck, why not rush to the hospital, rash actions like that would be actually welcome in between the explanations.

3/5 for this.
The eps itself is good, but Sinon's ass shots are too much. Really ruined the mood -_-
Her original character design wasn't that revealing. Come on A-1, I don't want my favorite character potrayed as a slut. She wasn't like that at all in the novel.

In the novel, the mood at the cave were tense as they are speculating lots of possibilities. But in the anime, Kirito miraculously knew everything after looking at Sinon's ass -_-
