| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  Dat battle, Yuki Kajiura's music, class change, and barrier magic. Not a bad way to start off this episode. I lol'd when Kirito got bitch slapped by Lyfa (with traces of still remaining on his face) for biting her. Some little emotional talk between the duo later with a little cliffhanger. Well, the soundtrack of this episode imo is actually a bit pleasant to hear especially during the fights. |
 |
| Learning Magic. Those suspicious people are Salamander? During the battle, he became one of the monsters he fought in previous arc! lol @ how Kirito get info. and girls are being disliked at guys deal with things. So that enemy that they met first came for revenge. And lol @ the joke he did. The team leader tricked them for a war? Lyfa told him to kill her to gain his goal, but he's not doing so because he treasures her. Ending with his fast running and going through monsters... that was so fast! Mod Edit: Merged threads. |

| I find this episode was a little slow on the take but made up with the action/SFX/monster in the spoiler in thee end. I am starting to appeal more for Suguha in the following,  She is quite nicely done there whenever that is she is casting magic. Nice cleaveage shows all around with her in general. Can’t deny her appeal either in the spoiler As they show her again in the pyjamas. Looks like from the following, http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2037/1352560783978_zps4a075ee6.jpg http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2037/1352560796350_zps2e5d7fd1.jpg http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2037/1352560809267_zps73a58686.jpg Recon got caught badly. Wonder WTF is going to happen to him now? They know he was swooping around. That hand biting in the following, http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2037/1352560598483_zps8f6844a7.jpg http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%2037/1352560606090_zpseef54d3d.jpg OUCH! That must have hurt. Poor Suguha there. Rest in the club: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=516591 Shall happen from now on. In case you did not know: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=516093 Rules have changed now. |

It also makes it easier to quote your post in reply. |
| 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. |

| ^ Yeah, I see that you most of the photo links you put in the post are from Suguha's phone scene. If I can pick only one screenshot I will pick from that scene like this one LOL LOL |

| ^ Yumekichi11's post has more shots of Suguha's face close-up but if I must pick only one screenshot that is most memorable, I'd have to pick that one ;-) |

I still ROFL at the privates shots though. |
| Pretty satisfied with the fight even if it was short. Tanks, healers and spellcasters vs Kirito and LeefaLeafa. Pretty overkill and yet he wiped them all out. inb4 complaints about this Wished Kirito said 'Gaooo' and did it with a more playful attitude when he bit LeefaLeafa but oh well. Second half kinda dragged with the explanations but it was necessary I guess. Next episode is the one I'm waiting for to be animated. Here's hoping it's done well. I'm not expecting much but still, it's the highlight of volume 3 so... The hell is up with Kirito's eye in the end card? Looks weird. |

belatkuro said: That? Buddy you have seen a lot animes. You should know it's a lame tactic to make him overpowered. Lame as in unfair and it was always like that with Kirito in the series. He was made to be Mister Superman aka invincible. This setup was just the most obvious in your face. He is after all A CHEATER!Pretty satisfied with the fight even if it was short.

If anything they should have made him have a patch but even so not appealing. Leafy was done nicely though. No luck with no credits part. Some of them are harder to get it in clean format. I got it now! |

| This show has taught me that online games are serious business. |
| I was hoping for a more exciting episode but this was till good. It doesn't seem like there would be enough time to conclusively end this without another season. |

They will be able to conclusively end this arc this season, of course tho the series still has more arcs, thus why the LN is ongoing. |

| kirito is sooo amazing he transformed into gleme eyes, he broke mach 5, he yelled loud enough that it killed a guy, and like 4 or 5 girls are in love with him. if thats not a bad ass than the world should stop spinning. |

Well if you mean more girls then i suppose there are, but then again its overplayed (since not all the girls in the series even like Kirito that way, many times its teasing or misinterpretation by people who give more time bashing then trying to understand things), and since people are touchy about harem tendencies it just adds ammo to haters so I'm not really looking forward to those scenes due to the flames that come with them. Thats the other thing, people bash Kirito left and right yet Araragi who is in a similiar scenario (has a solidified pairing with one girl, other girls like him anyway) never gets this hate, and if he does its minimum. Which character is better isn't even relevant as what i'm referring to is the similiar scenarios of helping girls around him with no feeling aside for the main girl. Well it should take some time even if a second season is announced, but from what i hear it sells really well, so no reason to think they won't animate GGO. |

| It's not that I hate Suguha, but there's something about her RL appearance that I don't like... and no, it's not her boobs. She's weird looking to me??? I like Lyfa physic better.. but of course a japanese girl who does kendo won't be blonde. Anyway, cheers for Kirito bitting Lyfa's finger, that was unnecesary but hilarious at the same time omg. |
| Who said that illusion magic wasn't useful in battle? It was really nice, just think about this is reality so it's probably will be really scary. It's looks like he bite them and slash them in one hit. It was really nice moment with the battle, next episode will be good. We will see flying battle and speed battle. :D Next episode will be General Eugene and Kirito in action !! Dual Wield Mode: ON !! :D |

| Sorry just speechless, I mean like I'm at a loss for words. |
|
| finally, the boring stuff is over, i loved the way kirito turned gleameyes on their asses and then bribed one of them for information xD its just so like him im looking forward the next episode, its one of my favourite parts in the novel |
   |
| Oh Kirito,Kirito... You should target the healers(and other cloth users) first and not try bash the plate users. This way you might not need to use your "DW mode"^^ episode gets 3/5 |
| It was a nice episode . I wonder if Kirito will learn more spells xD |
 |
| Kirito Went Hammmm |
| 5/5 Brilliant ep!! That fight!!.. ^^ Ahh, that monster looked exactly like the boss monster in SAO. And the way he just goes crazy ... ><!! Also, it seems things are getting interesting with the Salamanders and Sylphs. Can't wait for the next ep! Looks like there is going to be a hell of a battle :D |

| Kirito stepping it up by becoming Gleam Eyes. It's actually fairly funny when he started chomping on the people. Battle-crazed idiot indeed. |

| SAO Episodes Just Keep Getting Better And Better. Also That Monster Which Kirito Transformed Into; Doesn't It Look Familiar To The Blue Eyed Demon Which Kirito Defeated In Aincrad Using His Dual Blades Skill? |

RockerXD said: In an hour or so though, the rage is gonna explode. Like i said before this forum makes one feel like they can see the future, the haters are that freaken predictable, its kinda sad that they put no thought into their criticism either, makes me feel bad for those who actual have valid reasons to dislike the show and they are just flooded out by endless trolling. Valid criticism with evidence to back it up not biased opinions is unfortunately a minority in this thread, as many times people complain about stuff that was explained in the very episode they just "watched", and ignore clarifications for what they misunderstood or better yet didn't care to understand. |
|
| It's an interesting experience watching this series and the Aria series at the same time because they both use a lot of the same mythology terminology (Undine, Sylph, Salamander, and Cait Sith) but with very different meanings. So, when they mention one of those here in SAO, I can't help but picture the ones from Aria as well. Anyway, a pretty good episode this time around. I was happy to see a prolonged fight scene because this series does much better with those types of action sequences than it does with its character based drama moments. |
