Last and Wonderful Final Episode! The most precious one of this arc showed a lot of feelings of everyone to Yuuki. In the end Yuuki keep smiling to everyone which came to saw her inside of the virtual world. Goodbye Yuuki, I'll miss you for your way to be.

I hope the next season will be such a incredible one as the two first seasons. ;)

Ok i'll be honest, I came into this episode completely ready to shit on the score of this season. I tried really hard not to let it get me but it did when it happened. To be fair tho this one great episode doesnt change that I found the rest of this season to be pretty bad, but it did bump my rating up a bit

I guess that means there's a high possibility that they're gonna animate more SAO. Seriously, they should just stop doing these season things and just keep it as an ongoing series like Fairy Tail or something


That sounds just too good to be real, lol

Beautiful episode, best arc of the two seasons. Yuuki was a likable character and a catalyst to helping out millions of people in the future, and I'm glad she was able to give Asuna her development. Overall 8/10.

And meh, we don't need a cliffhanger for the next arc. Why do we have to immediately jump to the next story instead of having a bit of breathing room in between arcs? I'd rather have something like Extra Edition air next year to announce Alicization than ruin an ending with a cliffhanger.

That said, I'm very happy with this season and it brought my initial enjoyment of SAO back. I'm excited to see season 3 when it does air.

Well, that was a very tear jerking episode. Props to Yuki Aoi and Tomatsu Haruka for their amazing performances.

Everyone coming to see Yuuki before she died was really beautiful. Probably the highlight of the entire series. Although it was a sad episode, it was also really bittersweet. Although Yuuki died, she's left hope for other people battling diseases.

6/10 for the season. Many things I liked more thank the first season, especially Mother's Rosario.

Whether they actually do a third season is probably still undecided, at the very least we don't *know* it yet.

But they obviously intend to do one, otherwise they simply would have left that part about Kayaba out. Especially if they didn't shy away from a original ending (not that i would know about that).

that's it. 24 episodes of enjoyment ends today.

i do love SAO with many talks between character since that's the only way they could cover inner monologue from LN (not everything, tho).

And both of this arc completely satisfied me, although some fanservice is unnecessary (that sinon ass)

Goodbye yuuki.

Calibur 3/10 - didn't like ALO in general
Mother's Rosario 5/10 - meh tbh

s2 OVERALL: 5/10, for somewhat improvement over s1.

Damn, they didn't do an Alicization cliff-hanger. I guess doing that would be too genius and make too much sense so they decided against it. Oh well.


It would break the Yuuki's death atmosphere, I'm deeply happy that they didn't.

wow this reminds me of a time when one of my Steam friends, Groupbutt, died. I still remember the chat when I found out

LegalLatino: hey is group on? i wanna get a 3 man party going

Mafatu: dude he died

LegalLatino: what? really? how?

Mafatu: I dunno he added me on facebook a while back and now it's all RIP's on his profile

LegalLatino: Wow, that's why he's been offline all week...

Mafatu: ye

LegalLatino: shit


LegalLatino: K then wanna play s&d?

Mafatu: yeah I think slimes is on too.

[end of story]

still more emotional than the entire Yuuki arc.

RIP Groupbutt, hope you're still hard-scoping on the other side. *presses X to pay respects*

The first 4 minutes were pretty rushed, but after that it was all cool.

This episode managed to steal 1 tear from me. Although my heart was wrenching, i didn't cry in episode 22, so this was kinda satisfying.

The overall animation/art for this series was pretty good, solid. Soundtrack was also pretty good, specially in GGO. We got introduced to awesome characters like Sinon, Kirito got some characterization, and Asuna's character was fleshed out as well.


I'm rating this season 8.4/10, was pretty good. Score may rise or drop upon further reflection


Farewell, Yuuki ;-;

5/5

Well, another anime ends. Probably the most controversial one out there, in fact.

The final episode was good. Man, i can't believe how respected Yuuki was in-game, so many people came to see her off. I am very glad Kirito got wrecked again, that'll never get old. Yuuki's death was pretty emotional, though i didn't expect her friends to magically get better. Any reason why that female professor gave those designs away like charity, by the way?

Overall, i have to say SAO II is better than one, though it won't surpass it in score (at least for me), since then it was still unique. Still, same deal - first half was very good, then it got mediocre. I honestly hated the Excalibur arc, he used that sword only once anyway. Mother's Rosario was indeed good, but it started really slow and i feel like that drama could have easily been done without any SAO related stuff. Despite this, i'm glad Asuna got her time to shine, and the arc was well executed.

I'm honestly torn between a 7 and an 8. Well, i'll decide soon.

Final episode: 5/5

Overall SAO II score: [i]7-8/10[/i]

See y'all in Season 3, which should be the best one yet, going by hype.

Too bad the rest of this series was horrific since this arc wasn't tooo bad. The start of this episode was terrible though "HEY GUYS, W-W-WE DIDN'T LEAVE OUT ALL THESE OTHER CHAPTERS! SEE? LOOK! HERE THEY ARE!". Fuck A-1.

There's obviously going to be a season 3 anyway.

So the show ends with a picnic scene and the group taking a picture afterward. I was kind of hoping to see some hype for season 3, but I guess they will wait a bit longer before hyping a possible season 3. Either that or the writers were crying a pool of tears and forgot to add a season 3 hype scene.


Sad episode indeed. Made me wonder how will my death be like. What type of memories will one take, what will one leave behind, it's just simple things that can make one reflect on life.


Asuna inherits Yuuki's sword skill and Asuna promises to pass down Yuuki's skill for future generations. Zekken 2-0 Kirito. For a moment Zekken would have lost since she was wide open for a full blast attack, but the time ran out thus making Zekken the winner.

That was a pretty solid episode..

In general I really enjoyed GGO arc, did not like the Calibur arc much at all, and I thought the Mother's Rosario Arc was decent.

A little difficult to rate because of the different arcs, so I'd rate on an average of all 3:
GGO: 8
Calibur: 5
Mothers Rosario: 6

Total Rating 6.33 , so 6/10 overall.

6 isn't bad, in fact its a little better than average in my book. I just wasn't into the last 2 arcs that much honestly.

Oh for shits and giggles SAO I rating:

Aincrad: 8/10
Fairy Dance: 6/10

7/10 overall.

By far and away Aincrad and GGO have been my favorite arcs.

I'll definitely be back to watch if there is a 3rd season :P

I waited for this final episode all week and it ended good; cliffhanger, but good.

The Mother's Rosario arc had a beautiful closure. Yuuki lived for all she wanted, then passed with nobility and a smile. The feels were as sharp as her blade!

The episode showed more "snapshots" rather than content, but it's fitting for the closure, nonetheless. And I really liked the fact that Asuna and Kazuto's relationship furthered a bit before the cliffhanger, me being a cheesy romantic and all, lol.

And as some people noted, I liked the fact that Kirito isn't invincible and that Yuuki defeated him, even though the time ran out. It really illustrated that she really was a strong person.

I'm looking forward to A-1's adaptation for the next part (if there is one). I think the series may become a bit formulaic after this, but I'm sticking around to see what happens between Asuna and Kazuto.

Rate - 8/10
Feels - 11/10

Honestly, I was into this until the GGO arc ended, afterwards the series lost me and finishing the rest of the season became such a chore.

Coming from someone who hasn't read any of the novels, it felt like the second half of the season were nothing but fillers or side-stories. Just really unnecessary to the main overall plot, yes, even Yuuki's arc. It's sad she died in the end and that was a good scene, but the story really didn't feel super important other than to establish Kirito inventing new technology and Asuna standing up to her mother.

If there does happen to be an SAO III coming down the pipeline, I'm not really sure I would watch now...

Well Season Two has come to a close and I have to say that the Mother Rosario Arc was the best and most emotional story I've watched in a long time.

Death in RL is very hard, but watching someone's death in an anime is just as hard to deal with! RIP Yuuki!

I'm ready for SAO Season 3 and the Alicization Arc to start that everyone raves so much about!

Overall I give the season a 9/10! GGO was my least favorite arc of this season!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!
