| Did anyone else laughed their asses off while watching some parts of this episode? I did. Overall, I would say the episode was good. Great to see Kirito and Asuna reuniting, maybe because I am a sucker of romance in general, Yui smiles in the end was good and Sugu accepting things as they are and is happy for Kirito kind of ended her role in the anime. Well anyways, my overall rating for the anime will remain at 6/10 unless they miraculously save this anime in the final episode. The World Seed? Well yeah, let's see what they have in their bag. I doubt it will be something as grand as Zero Requiem which forced me to bump my rating at the very end. The only redeeming feature of this anime has been the animation quality of the virtual world environment and the surroundings. Gave off a great feeling almost makes one to experience worlds such as SAO and ALO. The character designs have been really good, but the characters ruined the show. Comparing the anime to Accel World (since they are kinda linked, as the author of the novels is the same guy), that anime actually started average, and ended up being a bit more than average. This however, started grandly, then went on to take a downward spiral ride to become a useless show. |

| I can't tell which is the bigger ass pull ass pull ending for SAO (Kirito resurrects himself after dying) ass pull ending for ALO (Kirito becomes admin out of no where) VOTE NOW! |
Theodoricos said: Lang said: Have you played the games? No, I haven't. My knowledge of the .hack universe is pretty much limited to .hack//SIGN alone, and that particular anime was all that I felt interested in anyway, after seeing and hearing about what else was there. If you played the games, then you would probably expected more from the anime. In the games, the story goes a lot deeper. I think Bee Train killed the anime. |

 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |

Kirito never died in SAO during the last fight, he 'died' after. The scene showing him die was one of those 'what would of happened' scenes that he was thinking in his head, kind of like those 'your life flashes before your eyes' scene. Maybe he had like Lv1 foresight or something. But to chose, obviously this ending. |

Paul said: shanimebib said: Did anyone else laughed their asses off while watching some parts of this episode? I did. So much. Sugou was so hilarious I couldn't help but laugh. |
| And just when I thought this bull shit couldn't get any more bull shittier. Why the hell is Kirito so overpowered? Yell, play music, and charge in headfirst without thinking automatically gives him everything he needs, even getting past admin or GM powers? The hell? So close to an NTR... So damn close. I was enjoying every moment of seeing Kirito get his panties in a bunch as Sugou was licking Asuna. Al well. Rage aside, I enjoyed the SAO arc, but not this ALO arc. The only highlights were Sugu and this almost NTR. |
 |
| Sorry, I couldn't resist after seeing that scene (pic inside) The episode itself was alright. This anime may suck in others eyes, but it still certainly beats anything I've watched recently (and I mostly watch plotless shows full of fanservice). It's a nice change for me. |
| I just remembered how much I hate Sugou. And it feels just as good when Kirito slices him up as it did when I first read it. And good thing that they left some good stuff for the last episode. ( ¬‿¬) |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| I was entertained. Ending a bit anti climatic but obvious that main NTR villain was a actual noob at the ending. As for people who watched and raged. Why go through the masochism? Its like a fire - its hurts so don't touch it, so why are you touching? |

| Holy shit that Sugou guy is such a bastard. Did he just rip off the top part of her dress like that!? Fucking bitch! I would kill this bastard in real ilfe if he ever did that to someone I loved. Lol @ that deus ex machina. How fucking embarassing for Sugou. Thank god the voice actor is good. Sugou was crying like a genuine bitch. ROFL!! IMPALED FACE FIRST. So Asuna's finally saved. What the hell is that Seed thing Kayaba gave to Kirito? Hm.. Sugu...dat ass. Man I was really hoping to see Asuna in the real world. Now I gotta wait for the finale. |

| Lol. A repeat to what happened to Dusk Taker in Accel World. The author sure loves that kind of scene, doesn't he? |
| Because why not. I'll feel bad next week giving this anime a 5, but I can't deny them the animation and soundtrack. |
| I would have wanted the scene where he takes off for the hospital to see Asuna to be more emotionally charged, like waking up, and rushing out of the house with only a quick word to Suguha while overfly plays. Still good though, I'm expecting more emotion in episode 25. |
| Critic. |
| Wow, this was one of the worst things I've ever seen. If it wasn't for Yui, this episode would have had nothing for me. |
| One of the funniest parts of this episode is when Kirito kills Sugou and then goes to free Asuna. Asuna then totally disregards the fact that 1.) Kirito just murdered someone and 2.) What about the other 300 SAO players? Regardless Great Episode! |

| i dont even know what i just watched. i thought they ripped that ntr scene straight outta berserk and the way Kirito killed Sugou was kinda creepy...like something you would read in Berserk |

| I love how wretched and sick mind people have on comment sections. They watch anime(or not), and then flame the anime and abuse it much as possible in front of people who love this anime. I presonally watch almost all anime. There are anime i dont like that much, but i dont start abusing it. I just point out what i didnt like in a neutral way to avoid conflicts. Nor i never think "this anime is better than 1 of the other titles". Cuz there isnt "better" and "worse" anime. Everything is up to a personal tastes. Basically - If you dont like anime, then dont watch it nor abuse it in front of the people who loved series. If you dont like something. Then you mix it with comment and point it out in neutral way why exactly you didnt like it. (which means something that wont start argument) -.- Now why the hell did i post this comment? NO IDEA. Since noone will ever bother reacting to stuff like that... -.-... and thats why i hate people.... selfish.. so selfish.. |

| Man. I loved this anime and this episode.. I'm just a sucker for a happy ending though... Which if you aren't, why bother watching? I think Sugou is actually a really amazing villain. He makes you hate him, which is kind of the whole point of being a -villian-. I mean, maybe almost raping Asuna is a wee bit too much, but it just adds the the story and why Kirito is able to get up in my opinion.. Personally I do not see anything wrong with this anime other than the first 5 or 6 episodes of rushed action, so I'll love it even through all the ore cliche bits. Agree to disagree I guess |

| mmm Torture is good kirito should have ripped off each of his limbs then he should have ripped out his spine Just saying |
| That was a nice ending. It's always a satisfying experience seeing assholes get beat like that. ^^ |

| Kirito please kill Sugou in most brutal way possible IRL. Thank you. Oh well was disturbing ep but im glad Asuna is saved. And kirito kissing Yui was adorable :D. And..... since it wasnt final ep.. for some reason i have really bad feeling for the final ep T_T.. |

| Why would Kirto put the "Pain absorb-thingy" on level 0? That was just bad manners. |
skudoops said: I like how kirito logs out and leaves the rest of people there and the deus ex machina stuff wasn't surprising, I pretty much knew something ridiculous was going to happen to get him out of that. Who da fuck care about the 300 other people?! We have Asuna! |
| The rape part reminded me of Berserk... its good that kirito gave that bastard what he deserved. Overall i liked this episode. I have a question to those who did read the novels: From which novel and which chapter do i have to start reading to continue the story ? |
