Nice they tied in the first season with the cabin and all. BUt the way the show described the release of the final 10 floos ( 21-30) didnt coincide with the speed at which the main characters described Zekkens appearances in floor 24. Plot holes aside, I am still liking this franchise.

Nice to see their old cabin again. Zekan seems interesting, I wonder who he is.

Love how Lisbeth be trying to justify the fact that Kirito lost by saying some bullshit about how he wasn't fighting "for real" because the stakes weren't high and that "he'll never fight for real again". Bitch please, he uses his two swords and fights with all his might whenever there's a freaking boss battle. Dude just thought it was gonna be an easy ride and found himself overpowered is all: it's really funny how everything he does somehow has to be cool in the other characters' eyes, even when it clearly isn't.

Other than that I actually liked the episode, if only because Kirito seems to be taking a literal backseat and leaves some room for the others characters to grow without having to constantly revolve around him. I'm actually looking forward to Asuna and Zekken's first encounter, now.

I don't care much about Lisa's stuff, but that ED was beautiful.

It was a nostalgic episode.

So there's a player who's even better than Kirito? :O

Aww, poor Asuna-chan. Having the omiai with 3 potential husbands when she's already in love with Kirito-kun D; that must be boring af and a waste of her time :(

She probably did get marriage proposals, those three well dressed young men who approached her in her flashbacks look like the types of rich, entitled, and snotty arseholes.

the second half of this episode looked like they were introducing a love rival as it was nothing but girls talking about some guy as if he were a jock or something..

when i see parents in anime's do that despite knowing there daughter has BF or son as GF makes my blood boil, fuk that type of parents just leave home

if i would be a business man & one of my partners is like that (or if i know any other who are like that) i would crush them (make them average ppl) & take over their company so their kids can be free form that SH, that's how much ppl like that (controlling parents) thick me off, seen 2meany in anime's

& Zekken is probably one of Asuna's suitors, dam that thought makes my blood boil even more

That was really awesome.

Cool fight scenes and they got back their log cabin which I loved in SAO <3

Plus Zekken sounds like an interesting character and he already went up against and beat Kirito D:

Loved the ED, Asuna was so cute in it :3


oh man you nailed this one on the head!
i agree whole heartedly to what you say

Fucking hell, what is this, a podcast? 90% of the episode was just them sitting around and babbling in the most boring way possible about shit I couldn't care less about, while occasionally singing the usual hymns glorifying the one and only Kirito-sama.

It seems that Zekken is too OP.

Hey, they got their old house at least. Good for them lol.

Now that I finally rewatch this I do wonder a bit, who is even making updates for ALO? The original went down with the company and it had to be rebuild from the seed, first I thought bartender dude had the servers for it but it seems like some other company has it now.

Asuna said she didnt have a home before she bought that one with Kirito, though she was probably the most focused to beat SAO back then and get back. It made sense for Kirito to be somewhat layed back but Asuna wasnt till few weeks before the end. Kinda unnecessary to bring it up when it doesnt really fit in. But whatever.

Here comes Zekken and what many people considered the best arc before Alicization. After the score purge this sits at 7 while the original is 0.5 higher. This doesnt make sense.

Opening song didnt have Jesus Kirito in it, instead there's a girl (who I guess is probably that Zekken theyre talking about) who replaced him? Wow SAO might actually be good for once

Btw Zekken, the absolute blade... that's a badass name. Kinda reminds me of the name of that sword in Fung Wan (Wind and Cloud)


Why are some of these posts in the first page so scummy? You can basically guess all the spoiler and shit from their stupid ass post. Fk these people for spoiling shit

It looks like the last arc “Calibur” was not canon, but this one “Mother's Rosario” sure is, I wonder how Excalibur is going to play into all of this.

The forest cabin feels so nostalgic in a way.

I don't dislike episodes with no action if it's still interesting so I had no problem with this first episode of MR. It felt quite cozy, lol.

One thing that confused me was Asuna's story at the cafe. Her father, right after Aincrad, seemed like a caring one, so I don't understand why she said that her house doesn't feel like one. And also, I remember her saying how much she wants to clear SAO and get out, at the beginning, and that's why she was always on the front lines, yet here she states how she didn't have a reason to do it. Am I getting something wrong?
