| Kirito just broke his sword like it was made out of butter Oo |
 |
| Kuradeel is a scrub. |
 |
| Kirito vs Kuradeel battle is so pretty amazing and surprised episode. Kirito x Asuna couple is so great. 11/10 scores |
| Kirito just found his future wife. <3 |
 |
| That level boss looks tough. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Another terrible episode. As if we needed even more proof that this anime is an harem, here comes the first love rival for Kirito, Kuradeel, you can tell he's the bad guy for this story arc because he wants to own Asuna while only Kirito can be her master, and he's also a sore loser that can't handle Kirito's Mary Sueness so he calls him a cheater. Oh and Asuna is the typical perfect waifu: cooks delicious dishes, slaps the hero in the face when he touched her boobs, and cowers behind Kirito's broad, manly shoulders because she can't handle problems on her own and needs a strong male figure to guide her. But Kirito is easily this show’s biggest problem. The duel between him and Kuradeel could have bene an interesting conflict, maybe, but instead it’s just a device to show how awesome Kirito is as he saves another helpless woman. We’re not going to resolve this through dialogue that actually reveals more about the guild structure, we’re not going to have Asuna demonstrate her own competency – we’re gonna have her hide behind Kirito as he defends her from the scary sword guy. |

| I'm gonna be honest, I quite like couples interacting with each other. It may not be the most realistic thing ever, but is surely more enjoyable to see Kirito and Asuna together than overused tropes of 'loyal creepy bodyguard' and 'damsel in distress' all around. I'm getting tired of 'sitting and explaining', some visual explanation won't hurt. Also, of course, a boob-grab would be present, after all, who you think is the audience for this type of show? I'll not nitpick too much about it, but honestly, as an anti-ecchi person, that was quite depressing. Completely unnecessary in terms of plot or character development, it's there for the sake of it. 3/5 |
| She said just maxed out my cooking skill, hit that ouble take like Wifu WHAT! lol Enjoy Kirito and Asuna relationship building they fight well together this has made this anime a lot more enjoyable. |

| Decent episode even though Kuradeel is pretty much a cliché. |
| I like Kirito and Asuna relationship. It feels natural. Kuradeel is a jerk lol. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| It looks like Asuna is receiving back the pressure she put on the other members. |
| Last episode: Kirito almost dies trying to make a better sword. This episode: "What sword......" Lisbeth's smithing passion got shafted way too fast. Asuna episode 2: "I didn't come to this town to eat". Asuna now: Proceeds to max out cooking skill. The best part about the whole show so far is the idea of people settling down and living life in SAO. Too bad it's just expository conversation. Asuna: A badass who's also a vice commander in the best guild in SAO. Also Asuna: Ohhh, Kirito, save me, from my problems.......PLEASE. Yeah, she steps in later but the damage is already done. The dungeon section was good. Asuna boob grab accomplished, the countdown to ass-grab begins now. |

| Fighting anime aren't really my first choice but I don't hate them or anything. This show is just sooo slow. I started it months ago and I'm only on episode 8? I really hope it gets more interesting. I really doubt I'm going to watch this show after the first season. |
 |
| Bruh, what? I thought this episode was about him using the new sword already as how title suggest me so. Instead, i got him enjoying dinner with waifu. Ah, okay. Also, i believe Asuna had no boobs while wearing that casual shirt. But then suddenly Kirito-- Oh right, okay, continue. |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| 2 years have passed and it feels like nothing interesting whatsoever has happened in Kirito's journey in SAO, it's hard to really care for this arc given the way its been structured so far. Even this episode, while a hair more relevant than previous episodes, still felt like side story stuff that wasn't fun to watch again and of course, some random fanservice and a batshit insane cliche character who was Asuna's escort and is jealous of Kirito. There was some progress with the Kirito-Asuna relationship as a whole from the start with them hanging out at Asuna's place while eating some rare rabbit, to the stuff at the end but the show hasn't exactly paced their relationship well at all so far. Doesn't feel natural imo. |
| Ah the Kirito x Asuna relationship is making big strides, and I'm in for it. Too bad Keradeel is such a simp, he stood no chance to OP Kirito. But before that happens....oppai touch...oppai...yessir!!! Now that they're on the boss of Floor 74, they are alone. And whaddya know, it's the minotaur thing with a snake for a tail. Hoping for a very awesome fight...but we can only hope. |

| The duel was like 3 seconds long XD |

If you only payed attention to the episode it would make much more sense for you, but you don't. This episode was very enjoyable for me, just like many other people who also enjoyed it. Of course Asuna had to hide behind Kirito because Kuradeel was following her everywhere and not respecting her privacy and following her orders. Plus, Asuna trusts Kirito way more. |
| Kirito felt the wraith of Asuna punch. She almost hit a home run with the force she put into it. You can tell that the person who structured that scene loved the face she made. A little too much detail went into it, lol. Two years have passed and people are beginning to treat SAO as a second life. To be expected. Quite handy then that the game's skills cater to starting another life. Be what you want to be, eh. |
 |
| this is a great episode as we see Kirito getting along more with Asuna, along with their trust growing because Kirito stepped in to stop Kuradeel from following her. very comedic fanservice too and loved how Asuna really wanted a share of that meal with Kirito's S tier ingredient lol. very significant character development here. |
| Annoying fan servicd, but it was alright besides that scene. Seems like we arrived to the boss from the opening video. I feel like they won't be able to leave the room due to an unexpected thing. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
kuradeel whatever calling kirito a beater in a way that makes it sound like there are multiple of them when beater is a term they made up just for kirito as like kirito explained most of the beta testers "didnt know how to level up" and kirito made it the highest in floors than anyone else  |

| Another filler episode. This anime is so stupid. I wish I didn't select this for AWC ahhh |
 This never updates so that's cool |
| Defeat that bastard, Kirito! |
