Stark700 said: Niyawa said: Stark700 said: Asuna, you got competition now. Question mark. If you watched the episode, it's obvious Liz knew the relationship between the two and you can see she gave up on trying to get Kirito. She even told him to forget everything she said. It should be fine for me to mention this, in the light novel, she states that she would only be trouble for Kirito but if he were with Asuna, the two could fight along side each other while if it was her (Liz) and Kirito, he'd end up having to constantly protect her. |

| I was fine with the dragon, though it could have been better, okay a lot better but it conveyed the point and Kirito going all Black Swordsman on it was awesome, |
| I'm sad the action scene was parred down to only a few screenshots, would've liked to see the whole fight scene animated. Still an amazing episode nonetheless, that skydiving scene was pretty damn awesome. |

| Well,this episode is the best so far.Mainly,because it introduce the most likable character of the series (so far) & she LIVES (looking at you,episode 3). Other than that,it was a pretty good episode. |
| My Devianart Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan. |
| Where/when did asuna get the ear ring o.o? |

Rearia said: volume2 finally ends（except YUI） next week will come the main story，I hope the quality can be higher，especially BGM。 Well they can't do the YUI episode till later on or it would really spoil a lot of the future episodes :P - Looks like things are finally getting intresting. It feels like in each of the past episodes ( excluding episode 1 ) they were trying out different things maybe they were just testing to see responses to really create how SAO should be for the main story. If that is the case then, I won't have any doubts regarding future episodes. If you go back and, watch episode 2-7 they all have almost different "styles" |

| This was a pretty nice episode, starting to like Kirito a little more after this. |
And thus, Kirito's harem was completed. This episode was cute. It was the only side story I enjoyed. 5/5 And next ep will be normal story. Can't wait. |

belatkuro said: Yep, this is never going to end. :)>increases episode count after preview title is given >thread created >7 minutes ago. Ah fuck it, this is never gonna end. I'm shipping Liz x Kirito now. Damn it, they're so cute together (sorry Asuna) ... I know it's impossible, but man I wish there'll be more Liz x Kirito (or Rika, depends on how you'd call her) 5/5. |
 Toshino Kyoko!!! |
| Liz was great. Love her. She's the only character with any personality so far. |

rostern said: So, I'm going to ask again, what's your point?My point was if you get something for free you should appreciate it more, honestly most of the people in here included me are not helping the anime industry. I completely understand that I'm downloading it for free, but what that has to do with the show itself? If it's good- it's good, if it's bad- it's bad, either way you get for free or not that won't change. I simply stated something that bothered me, I quite enjoy this show as well... it's thanks for the novel though. |

Lurkerkiller said: Good episode, though Kirito seems to be less of a badass than before, but still a great character nonetheless. Cause hes less emo this episode. |
Stark700 said: TT_TT damn it.Asuna, you got competition now. Oh wait, her 'tsun' was so awesome, by the way >_> |
Toshino Kyoko!!! |
| That was decent ep and new character is tsun-tsun but i liked it. |
 |
Paul said: It's unrelated, but I'm relieved he was all black today, the blue from the last episodes was killing me.Cause hes less emo this episode. |

| Just finish watching the episode. I feel like doing a 1000000000000000000000 words of rant right now. Wait wait, I'll edit this post in a bit. Let me sob, get angry, and throw tables first. --------------- Fuck it. I sounded like a bullshit. Edit: Forgot spoiler tag |

Just because a show on tv is free to watch, it doesn't make it ok to call it a bad tv show? That's a silly thought. And oh yeah, great episode btw. I might not like the complainers, but I actually hate the complainers that complain about the complainers. I want this board to be an open discussion, not a "don't like it, then don't watch it" idiotfest |

| By far the best episode since ep. 1. I've always liked this side story better than the rest (by contrast, I personally don't think Sirica deserved any screen time) and I'm glad they stretched an entire episode instead of rushing it. Finally the main story will start next episode. plushkin said: And oh yeah, great episode btw. I might not like the complainers, but I actually hate the complainers that complain about the complainers. I want this board to be an open discussion, not a "don't like it, then don't watch it" idiotfest Fair enough, but by your logic if you advocate open discussion, then those who complain about the complainers also have to be included in the forum of opinion. Imo, it's stupid for people to come on MAL and throw down some post where they declare they'll drop a series. Some of them then come back the next episode discussion and complain about the exact same things. I guess kids always desire public approval for their rebuke of something. |

| FINALLY an episode that doesn't make me wanna gouge out my eyes :D 1. they didn't cut out the good parts from the LN 2. it didn't feel rushed 3. They never downgraded liz's character with shitty ecchi fanservice like silica 4. They got in all the main points and all the important parts from the LN 5. THAT CUTE ENDART DOES ANYONE HAVE A COPY? seriously, they adapted this well, they even included all the funny parts from the LN, lolz kirito wall running and breaking liz's sword, literally he walked right in there broke her prized sword, insulted her, teased her and then ended up going dragon hunting XD im soo glad they adapted this well, i was seriously worried after seeing what they did to silica this marks the end of the sidestories (well except YUI) and the start of the mainstory, all the pieces are finally in place , the timeskips are over, time to finally see this anime's true worth and whether its a godly like the LN or just another failure Mod Edit: Removed reaction images. |

Fiji said: Liz fell in love with just one episode? Sweet. Well, I didn't find it sweet. It was a lot rushed IMO. To be honest, I think SAO is a waste of potential. Most of the episodes were good isolately, but in a sequence they're making a terrible progression. Character development feels wrecked. Hoping it get better when the real plot begins, but I'm not with high hopes for that. |
 "Like this too we met in a dirty and ugly world; Thank you for this miracle." |
Niyawa said: Please enlighten me. I never implied that I've read the LN nor that whatever I'm saying is my wishful thinking or fact. So the blame's on you for spoiling it. |

| At last a good episode Love Lizbeth Idk why people complain about the dragon CG, it doesn't look bad imo |

I guess the only complaint I would have is that Kirito suffers from a conventional ACG main character issue: he shifts noticeably being with one person to another. Sure, he's supposed to be calm and reliable in all instances, but there's a definitive change between him saying boneheaded things to Asuna and him deliberately making fun of Lizbeth. Sure, Lizbeth could've fallen too quickly for Kirito (a flaw that the LN has as well), but this wasn't meant to be a totally natural romance. SAO is not a harem work after all. |
NNick said: Who would ever cry over this show... It's nearly as bad """""""""""love""""""" story as Twilight. Why you still watch it and post here? hahaha I hope you'll stick with us at least until the main story begin to take form, ok? |
