| CALIBER ARC END That was hella enjoyable, loved this adaptation. Now everything goes downhill from here. |
 |
| So finally, this mini-arc is now finished huh? Poor Klein tho, I salute you! Well, I didn't read the novel but when will Sinon notice that Kirito has Asuna? I think I've read it somewhere and I don't know if it was revealed in this arc or something. But its obvious that she's flirting him so go to the flow, Kirito :3 |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| Okay I was wondering why it was Excaliber and not Excalibur. |

| The next is MR arc, which contains a lot of Asuna. It's about time i drop this show. |
 |
| Meh, i wasn't enthused about how they turned Klein into a walking punchline representation of 2d loving Otaku. I mean the Freyja being Thor thing was a bit funny. Not original. It's pretty much a bastardized version of a popular Norse story. But still, instead of having ALL the girls that Kirito meets chasing him. I'd rather one of them start liking other people. I would have liked to see more Lizbeth x Klein. Cause her teasing nature and his silliness would be a good compatible pair. Now you got Klein chasing after a NPC character he happened to see?! how stupid is that. The cheesy angry harem stare after Sinon's heart comments was eye-rolling-ly cliched too. |
| Wow, I can see this show is not catching up. Maybe not the studio's fault but the story itself. Lots of potentials wasted starting from the very first arc from season 1. |
 |
| For ya'll hating on this mini-arc, your gonna need this break, because if I recall correctly MR gets quite depressing. Bro Klein needs to get a break, because this harem thing is getting stupid. |
| All other things aside, they've been pretty good at whole "MMORPG world" thing. And all I can think of is...who the hell stands in front of a raid boss while he's charging his super attack? |

So you want Klein to end up being taken into custody for dating a minor when he's an adult? |
| I liked that they brought back the Sword Skills and sword fights. It felt a bit boring, maybe because it was so short, but that's not a problem for me. |
| Why did he throw the sword away at first ? o.0 ? |
 |
| Man, this Kirito is an asshole to Klein. Real disrespectful to him kicking him in the face for no damn reason. Ain't he older then him or something? I would not tolerate a prick like that. And what's up with Klein being the jest of the gang? I didn't pay it any mind before until this episode brought it out like it did unnecessarily and it's quite annoying. Episode would of been average if it didn't have what I wrote. |

| I enjoyed this conclusion and Klein you have my respect! Such a bold man. |

Except that if anything this has shown Klein as quite important. Had he not decided to free Thor/Freiya, they would be royally screwed and by now the whole game would be slowly burning. |
 |
| That's it? What a short arc this was. Well, it wasn't bad. I like Norse mythology, so I enjoyed this a lot. ^____^ |
 |
| Good end to the arc. Waiting for Mother's Rosario. :3 |
 |
| I forget, why did Kirito threw the Excaliber? :/ Nice episode. It felts so short, like 5 minutes, again... OST was also great there. Lol Klein was hilarious this episode. Kirito torturing him for no reason, even tho Klein actually made that quest to be completed lol :D No luck for you, bro, I'm sorry :< If they could animate Caliber failure SS, that would be awesome also (as OVA or something) Can't wait for next weak. YUUUKIIIIIIII!!! |

| Woohoo new arc. Please no more harem and Kirito x Asuna action or something. Idk where this is going as it is... Sinon.. why?? And poor Klein lol~ 5/5 though. And yay for Yui getting a view of the real world xD |

shirozuki said: I enjoyed this conclusion and Klein you have my respect! Such a bold man. Like Lizbeth said she has respect for him from the bottom of her heart. Klein will never give up. Really wish he would have an arc where he finds someone. Or even a short story that ties into the plot later :P. |
| Poor Klein, Freyja turned out to be Thor hahaha.... That was hilarious Pretty short arc. So I guess the next one will be 7 episodes long? |
| Yawning for the whole episode. Idk why am I still watching this. I won't stay for the third season for sure. |
| well then that finishes another arc, too bad for Kline that Freya is a trap as Thor, but he did get to have another weapon. |
| Freyia was a trap indeed :D. Hope Klein manages to get himself a girlfriend ^^. This arc was pretty fun to watch, looking forward for the next one. |
 |
Zeally said: well that was the shortest arc ever. Pretty boring at that. tfw the boss reminds you of ulduar from world of warcraft lmao That would be hodir, except this one was based on Thorim given how the name sounds like and the whole freyja thing zzzz |
| Poor poor Klein xD |
| For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest on this side of the grave. Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment. |
| Awhh poor Klein.. Guy can't catch a brake, well at least he got a legendary weapon, too bad he doesn't have any hammer skills:/ |

Asuna_Mel_Yuuki said: midnightblade said: This was an okay I arc, nothing too special. It was nice to see all of those characters actually do something while they are all together like that.. I'm wondering what the next arc will be like.. There'll only be like half as many episodes to put into the next arc when you compare it to the first arc of this season in length, so I'm pretty curious if its just a shorter arc in the novel, or will it just leave off on a cliffhanger to end the season.. midnightblade said: DOES she know? We haven't seen Kirito actually tell her in the anime that he is in a relationship with Asuna~ Also Kirito hasn't really been lovey dovey with Asuna in Sinon's presence interestingly enough. Yes, she does know~ But after she became close friends with Asuna, she decided to push any romantic feelings towards Kazuto to the back of her mind, out of respect for the happy couple. The only reason why Kirito agreed to her promise, is because he desperately wanted the sword. Also, Kirito and Asuna are very much in love. Why do you think he never told her about death gun in the first place? He doesn't want her to be in danger, Kirito tends to take things on to himself when it concerns Asuna. Their relationship is very serious, to the point that they cannot live on if one of them dies. They may not act "lovey dovey" in front their friends, but they'll always be together. Seems like you're butthurt.. Why care about a crap character whos romance with another crap character is also crap |

YUUUKIIIIIIII!!! Too much weight for Tonki (it's a game thing, IIRC, they find it very difficult to pick up.) Wasn't it because it was too heavy for him to jump carrying it? |
| Well, when I compare these 4: "fighting for survival of many people", "fighting for saving Asuna", "fighting to investigate who is killing people who play GGO" "fighting to make an CPUs happy" the last one is kind of lacking on interest... |
 |
| Sinon showing how she is and always will be best girl, not giving two shits about the other girls being there to flirt with Kirito. Klein being denied the trap, but getting an awesome hammer Mjolnir and meeting the even cuter Skuld-San. And now for the arc of many tears, Mother Rosario. |
 |
| Is it me or did this episode feel a little... off in parts. So many awkward silences and seemingly random actions. Looking forward to the next arc. |
 |
| This was actually a good arc, and I kind of wish Sword Art Online was more like this. Poor Klein, though. Dude can never catch a break. |
| I'm really getting pissed at the unnecesary harem building. It's not supposed to be a harem, is it? It's obvious from the first series that Asuna is the girl Kirito wants and that she is the end girl, so why do they have to create those annoying harem situations? I didn't read the novels yet, so I'm not sure about that, but whenever so many girls go for the MC I find it annoying. The battles in that dungeon were all quite silly as well, no tactics just unleashing some skills and then the NPCs finished the job. They make Kirito seem amazing and all, but he didn't really do anything special there. Generally this mini-arc was pretty bad, I'm glad that Klein got that contact info, but it wouldn't hurt to give him a normal love-interest/relationship would it? But no, give em all to Kirito. If they're going to make this into a harem then at least have them interact not just get jealous and "show interest" inbetween some combat. Blah, at first I loved SAO, but now that I became bitter and lonely I'm starting to hate all of the romance hints between the characters. Perhaps it's just me being critical of normal things. |
| [b]Men talk of killing time, while time quietly kills them. |
| That Kirito x Sinon moment was pretty disgusting. I'm lowering the score for this show everytime a new episode comes out. When the fuck will they stop those 'romance' hints? Geez. |
| What the heck happened to Asuna??? Lately she is just on the sidelines, when Kirito fell in love with her, I felt it was bc she was on par with him, they could fight together, they were partners. Lately she has been the damsel in distress while Sinon is showing Kirito what she got! It should have been Asuna to give Kirito the excalibur not Sinon. Anyway right now I am starting to ship more Sinon and Kirto, thanks to the passive behavior of Asuna. Kind of frustrating. |

Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story" "And the sense of tragedy-according to Aristotle.comes, ironically enough, not from the protagonist's weak points but from his good qualities. Do you know what I'm getting at?

| Hopefully MR will save this show. |
| So maybe I missed or just plain forgot something but isn't a major feature of the game they're playing the fact that everybody has the ability to fly? wtf happened to everyone's wings? |
| Found this arc to be a little boring but that's just my opinion. I really wonder what's gonna happen next. |

SimmianPrime said: So maybe I missed or just plain forgot something but isn't a major feature of the game they're playing the fact that everybody has the ability to fly? wtf happened to everyone's wings? They can't fly in the underworld because of a reason I do not remember from the lore of the game. It's the reason why Kirito and Leefa were trapped here and had to get Tonki to leave in the first place. It was stated in the anime at the beginning of the arc.
