| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  Some tense drama with some of the fairy soldiers. Tbh, they should of fought right there. The mini fight scenes later in the sky reminded me a little of the movie, Avatar with the floating mountain-like structures. Sugou is still sick as usual though..ugh. Also, is that a tsundere Lyfa I'm seeing there? Cute Yui is cute: |
 |
| The cousin girl became hooked on the game because Kirito loved it and wanted to experience it herself... that's a good enough of a reason. lol~ that partner of him wears glasses in real life and is as timid as his fairy form, but his love for her is true. Leefa's team is obsessive, it seems. Yui's cute. Fiance guy is really such a jerk. Asuna knows about the hospital room ep. now. Battle BGM, though it's short, is awesome! Tracer...Bad thing will be happen, I think, and not sure if they are ordered by fiance guy. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Yui was just too moe :D Sugou inducing rage fits as usual. Damn I hate him so much. Suguha's seiyuu being Kirino's seiyuu still feels weird to me... considering OreImo plays on Tokyo MX before SAO, lol. Suguha was pretty cute this week as well. |

Ejc said: Even weirder is to see her (Azunyan) playing another girl, also sitting in front of a computer accessing social network, in Psycho-Pass.... Suguha's seiyuu being Kirino's seiyuu still feels weird to me... Anyway, nice to see a bit of back story of Suguha (and her back side ;-) |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Being Recon is too much suffering. Real life or in-game, he can't get the girl. He's not even allowed to call her by her first name. Suffering really. A lot of Sugu's Sugus. With matching steam censors in the bathroom. Pretty much the center of complaints that this episode will be getting later. Oh well. Suguo still making me sick but at least he had little screentime. Though that means Asuna had little time as well but at least she memorized the passcode. Time to escape. And yeah, ambush up ahead. Here's hoping A-1 will do that fight some justice. They raked a lot of dough in the first BD so I wanna see some improvements. It's a decent pace that covered the important parts properly I guess. I lol'd at Kirito swaying his hips when they landed and before doing the rotate log out. And that end card. Obligatory Forever Suguha: >BAAAAWWWW Onii-chan won't love me because he already has a girlfriend >Well it's okay. I already have this cool guy I met in an online game >BAAAAAAAWWWWWWW he's actually my Onii-chan |

What was the exact passcode from this episode anyways? Was it mentioned in the LN somewhere? I remember a pw from Tempest this week and it was funny as hell. |

| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I have to admit that Sugou in the following,  Is really asking to be punched. So much after seeing what he was up to with Asuna in the spoiler About the fan service, now it was talked before but now I can assess it more. The first part of it in the spoiler Now come SHOWER TIME BABY! From the looks of it in the spoiler That being said it’s obvious most people were right, they went ahead in inflating her breasts and decided to show better her body. Other than that, episode was good and Yui kiss on Kirito was adorable. My other thoughts follow. About the beginning, really liked seeing Suguha in the spoiler About Suguha/Recon back at school, well I was not surprised of Recon in the spoiler It’s just plain too bad Suguha hits him in the spoiler About back in the game, well the first thing among the parts in the spoiler Shit comes to worse in the spoiler Well I personally got the answer as to why all this mess and certainly it was Mr. X’s idiotic attitude in all this. However it turns out that in the spoiler Along with the spoiler  Recon coming around in the spoiler About back in the game, once coming back the fighting was pretty good in the spoiler About in the game after a shower, as it continues I find myself in the spoiler That is till YUI COCK-BLOCK in the spoiler That’s only if Asuna accepts this form of relation. IRL knowing Asuna, I think not. She is quite the girl that might be into that. I for one did not see any sign although I see she is a “Laissez Faire” type of person as they say in French. Meaning she lets herself be lead on. Perhaps by no choice but still a good example. BTW End Art in the spoiler Some GIFs done of the fan service in the club: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=513055 But low quality now it’s from a HD source, oh well they are fun to watch. Now there also avatars and signature I managed around. If you don't mind some of ecchi in that game whom I talked about, then in the spoiler |

| More thoughts: - Great to have DIO (JoJo) doing Suguo ! - Yui playing the truth-speaking foil about being frank with your feeling is great - Fan Service: I should have expected it is sports-bra... |

| MAWR SUGOU pl0X Yui is still annoying as f**k |
 |
| Never get surprised with how good the end art seems to be. -Be warned- Asuna is on the move~ inb4 it starts |
| Nothing much happened, except Imouto Oppai. |

KaitoDash said: Nothing much happened, except Imouto Oppai. Highlight of the episode! I'm glad to see Asuna having a fighting chance now utilizing the old mirror trick. Koyasu-san, why must you voice your villain roles so godly awesome. I just wanna tackle and punch Sugou more each time I see him. |
 |
| Sugou continues to be one of the worst antagonists i have seen, and its not even just because he is doing all those disgusting things to Asuna, its because he has nothing good about him, usually antagonists have a trait that makes them worth fighting against or at least provides a challenge, in this case you could say he is intelligent, but even this in itself isn't necessarily true, he could be book smart but as shown with his big mouth he clearly isn't talk smart, i mean seriously who goes opening their mouth like that, his pride is really a bad trait, antagonists can be vain but at least don't be pathetically stupid about it. I mean i knew all this since i read the LN but still...he really is the worst antagonist in any of the arcs so far imo, people can say wherever they want about Kayaba, but truth of the matter is that Kayaba owns Sugou as an antagonist. Being disgusting doesn't make a good antagonist, it just makes you a jerk who people want to see get owned, it takes depth and while the anime didn't portray Kayaba's reasoning as well as the LN the fact that Kayaba has more depth of character still doesn't change. |
 |
| Agree with InfiniteDestiny about Sugou being the worst. Well, at least Heatcliff was a much better one. Interesting episode didn't expect they will log out and log in this late |

| Awww, I thought they would have gotten farther than that in this episode. I wonder how the rest of the scripts are going to go. At least a good part is coming up ^_^ |
 |
| It was weird she would leave her clan for a dude she just met.....but yeah, pretty alright episode this week. Next week should be way more interesting :p |
| It was great, but nothing happened actually and now there's another long week ahead of us :( |

Entravity said: Why are you guys talking about the characters. It's all about the boobs. LOL This episode seemed very fast and even though the plot progressed it seemed like not much happened. |
| Man Suguha you bitch, how dare you have some hustle to your muscle...it's an outrage I say outrageeeee |
| Not much in particular happened, but it was kinda... okay? I liked the adventurous feeling of MMOs it created. |

That being said the innuendos are so great like the hand and the mirror. I swear she was thinking that Kirito is the mirror and she is feeling him. Anyone think so or it could just be a setup of self reflection on her love. That much was clear but to me it's more affirming her lust for Kirito. Cause she was naked and confirming with her own body her worth. Which to me mostly passes because all males love: - Suguha breasts - Suguha feet - Suguha's ass and shape While the female audience might like her for her composure. I am guessing here. |

Wish fulfillment remember? But yeah, Suguha doesn't really like to party in the first place so eh, a bit more believable than Asuna. |
| The episode was fine, better than the previous one which relies heavily on exposition and the last five minutes of the bastard committing attempted rape with little progress in story. This episode still has exposition and the story is still slowly progressing but it does have some nice character moments. But the fanservice of Sugha is over-the-top. Also, Lyfa should hook up with Recon. Sugou is still a rapist son of a whore bitch harassing Asuna. The villain is like a cross between Cal Hockley (Titanic) and Jafar (Aladdin), but he's worse. Even if people call him a shallow villain, he's still a better villain that the cookie-cutter villainess from the dullish Madagascar 3. Yet Asuna will find a way out herself to stay away from the douche and find Kirito. By the next episode, things will get more interesting and the sky will fall (also excited for Skyfall) after two slow episodes of setup and slow story. I bet the arc will get exicting by last five episodes or so. |

Sigh...ever hear of not liking your party members? You make it seem like loyalty is a essential aspect in games.... and that partying with different people is a rarity. If you want to criticize at least don't use such weak basis points. |

Takuan_Soho said: Sixth said: It was weird she would leave her clan for a dude she just met.....but yeah, pretty alright episode this week. Next week should be way more interesting :p She hadn't planned on leaving her party, she just wanted to do a quest with Kirito and then return, sort of like how Asuna wanted to party with Kirito, but had no intentions of leaving KoB. The party leader was the one who gave her a "if you leave, you leave for good" ultimatum, and Sugaha will not tolerate being pressured. As expected from a nationally ranked Kendou practitioner. The novels have far more detail about this encounter and the motivation's behind the various reactions, the anime doesn't have the time to go into that much detail. I highly recommend reading the novels if you ever wonder about something in the animation. They could've cut down the fan-service scene by 15-25 sec and used that 15-25 sec to make her say this "Sigurd had invited her to join his party. Lyfa had accepted the offer on two conditions: she would only participate when she can and she could quit if she wanted to. Specifically, she wanted him to know that she doesn't want to be tied down with responsibilities. " |
| that a**hole king fairy should just die already!! D: the more I continue watching this, the more I feel bad for Suguha.. == hope Asuna has the strength to escape soon~~~ does she still keep all her stats from SAO?? or the a**hole reset it?? :( |
| After a 4 hour marathon I finally caught from the break I took back in episode 9. I kind of miss SAO, but the interaction between the two worlds in this one is interesting. I wonder if those two will find out who they really are? I would also like to see more characters from SAO return to this one, especially Rika and Keiko. |
ClementIVNov 3, 2012 1:18 PM
| Another fuck you to Sugou is needed. |
| Jeez, just replace the villain with this. It's about the same, everything he says is just one big evil laugh and all his plans are evil because he's, well, evil. Oh how I miss the villain from SAO, that guy was actually interesting. As for the episode, I actually think it was good, but I'm also a bit scared they might rush the ending since things don't seem to be moving at fast rate. I'm not saying they should speed up, just that I'm a bit worried they might rush things. Oh well, we shall see. |
| Nice episode but too short. :D I hope to see some big fights in the cave. Also, does Kirito have the money from SAO now in ALO? Cause i remember he had a lot in SAO. He was able to buy that new big sword and such :D |
 |
| I wonder how long is that fanservice moment. Also, Sugou amuses me. :D |
 |
SUGUHA IS SO HOT <3    |
 |
| Mmmm...dat fanservice. Again, this episode seemed to be a bit too short, I don't know. I guess I could blame it on cliffhangers (I've tried to avoid these recently...) |
