| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Pretty much a recap of the first half of the series. It actually recapped most of the important parts, in specifically when Kirito and Sinon fights against Death Gun. Not much else to see but I'm definitely curious to see the next arc soon. |
 |
| Recap ep. of the previous 14 eps. in Shino's point of view, w. different OP and ED clips exclusively for the recap. New OP and ED starts next week with new arc. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Felt a bit like a waste of the slot tbh. Not much of a point to it since this isn't even a split cour show or anything. |
| Bottom line: You've seen episodes 1-14? Good, you good skip this. Haven't seen all of 1-14, or need a bullet-point rundown? See this. |
 |
| This is basically a recap episode but I guess we can discuss it Although the opening visual is new its still about gun gale and the opening song is the same I was really hoping for episode 15 and a new arc already |

| Ugh what's with mal and having a million entries for one show smh I'm not adding that to my mal |
| Recap episode, but it was still great since it included all the epic scenes from episode 1 to 14. New OP sequence was awesome too! Next time: The Queen of the Lake. Looking forward to the side stories. (^^) |
 |
| Eh recap episode pretty much, mostly the important parts. I personally would have preferred a filler episode. Idk maybe Sinon getting to know the the girls more by going on a trip with Klein and Kirito as well. Anyway, looking forward to the next arc. The Queen of the Lake. Sounds like it will be full of action. |
 |
| so is episode 15 will be release after another week? can't fcking believe I waited a whole week for just a recap...sorry I don't like recaps,.. (-_-) |
Got something to live for, I know that I won't surrender, A warrior of youth, I'm taking over, a shot to the new world order I Am Bulletproof. . .  |
| I heard episode 15 airs tomorrow, can anyone confirm this? |
| I would have rather seen a real episode rather than a recap.. But oh well this was okay, guess we'll have to wait until next week:P Nice op/ed clips tho.. |

| Doesn't matter, gonna skip it. |
| Oh well, one more week.... |
| I still dont get why that 'bully girl' collapsed when sinon shot a can with a bb gun.... but i still really enjyoed this arc |
| Jesus can walk on water. Cucumbers are 96% water. I can walk on cucumbers. I'm 96% Jesus. |
| Pretty much, a waste of the time slot. Would have preferred a filler too. Hopefully the next arc is at least as good. |
| This episode should be called "$$$MONEY$$$". The only good point of this show is the sound, I was waiting for the new opening... meh. |
| i was expecting a real episode :/ then saw 14.5 |
 |
| ah the obligatory recap episode. I guess I might as well voice my opinions on SAO II and basically the how my concerns on the novel were the same on the screen. My main problem with Gun Gale from when i started reading the book was how unrealistically everyone was taking situations. If Call of Duty will remove an entire map from their game because someone noticed that a quote from the Qur'an in a bathroom (yes that really happened) I could not find it in myself to understand how an extremely popular game such as Gun Gale would continue on to run the game let alone the tournament even after alleged murders were taking place within the game, not to mention how much bad press the VMMO industry would have had after the original SAO. The whole reason the original SAO worked so perfectly for me was because it was a NEW thing, nobody knew anything about this new technology and nothing was supposed to go wrong, so when shit DID start going wrong it was justified that it could not be stopped because measures hadn't been made to stop such a scenario BECAUSE it wasn't supposed to happen. Gun Gale and Elfheim alike both suffer from the fact that okay this happened before so how the fuck could you let it happen again. With that said, I will say that although I found almost NO enjoyment from the Elfhiem arc, with Gun Gale, ironically, I enjoyed the parts where they AREN'T playing the game the most. Those have true emotions attached to them and even in the book I thoroughly enjoyed them. All of the gameplay scenes in Gun Gale just seem so silly in how SERIOUS the players are taking this game. As if it really is a life or death situation (and im not even talking about the people who know about death gun) like I said before in the original SAO it was justified but now it's just silly. Nonetheless it's still fun to watch. Overall this anime so far is exactly the same as how i felt when i read the manga. It's fun but I can't really think about it for too much without getting extremely critical. |

| Darnit... I was waiting for the new arc and episode 15 but instead we get a 14.5... darn. I'm a bit disappointed to say the least. :( |

| This one is irrelevant and skippable, so I'm skipping it :) |
| Damn it man, stuff screwd up my watching schedule. |
 |
| Had better pacing then the actual show |
 |
| Disappointing and unneeded recap, assuming viewers are goldfish. |
| Well can't complain knew there was going to be a recap episode. |
 |
| A recap based on Sinon's point of view. I liked the diferent OP and ED they did here. The episode covered the most important parts. And I kinda feel it was needed, like Sinon clearing her thoughts on this episode, and closing everything that happened. |
| Who needs a fucking recap? Seriously. |
| Enjoyable for a recap episode and really liked the montage of scenes used for the OP! |
 |
| Recap, is it worth watching? |

PixelPenguin said: Can someone explain why Sinon and Kirito seemed liked the only allied pair for the tournament? If alliances weren't against the rules, it would seem like you'd have a much better shot teaming up with 3 or 4 mates and then fighting it out in the end after everyone else is already dead. Cause someone may betray you...? |
| What? I wait whole week and you give me this? How dare you! |
