I want another season!!! To be honest I might end up actually reading the novels.
@Moppit

Season 2 covered up to vol 6 of 13. So enough for a whole 2 more seasons! I recommend the books, they're pretty great.

Decent ending, despite the rougher second season overall, I liked how they used the little time they had left to promote minor characters. They actually did a good job with this episode versus earlier in the season.

It was expecting a twist about those NPCs at the end but I would never predicted something like this. Definitely an interesting idea and a way to end the S2.

Let's hope for a S3 be fire 2030!

Solid 7/10 with great action

This episode (and final arc) boosted my score from 6 to 7/10. Overall I liked s1 quite a bit more. S1 had amazing OP & ED and the story + humor felt a little more well written. (Though tbh I watched each episode as they came out years ago so maybe I’m misremembering).
In this season’s first Squad Jam, Llenn wasn’t much of a force in the first half and I hated the twist that Llenn was supposed to be the betrayer all along. How did she not know!!?
However, I think the “NPC” battle was a really great way to bring all the characters together and finish this season. I liked it.

So the NPCs were actual dudes all along, was obvious there was a real person behind it somehow.

Well it was another okay season, nothing too exciting, but also not too bad. 5/10

maybe best shooter anime, its based on SAO origin, without big story on background.
+ nice strateic scenaries,
+ good action scene,
+ very likeable charakters

- dont evolve not main characters,
- content only big PVP events

This episode was very interesting! When Jacob started contemplating everything I began to wonder if he was one of those AIs from SAO's Alicization, though that would've thickened the plot too much for the taste of GGO. Regardless, a nice, sweet, conclusion.

I really appreciated the ending. Not what I was expecting. I really like actually how the author uses most of the shows as a platform more way of exploring how full dive technology can be used both positive and negatively. That is how I watch SAO in general, as a thesis about emerging immersive technology. Accel World same, better in some ways, as it is AR, similar to some of the SAO segments - but well if you know Accel, then you know.

Decent action, but it's a weird ending. I get they told both sides they were fighting AI, and this VR games as therapy thing isn't even all that unreasonable, but what'd they do to make the guy think it was real? Did they drug him and have him wake up inside then somehow bullshit that they'd taken him to an unknown castle? With how the SAO world started with messed up abuse of VR I now gotta wonder if there's other people just unknowingly trapped in virtual worlds if you apparently can't distinguish it at all.

great episode

i knew it that they were not simple npc but i was not expecting that

Lleen killed him with the smile


i really enjoyed this season,it was better than expected


7/10

I was half expecting the npc's to be a similar situation from alicization's AI ppl who are borderline and basically just real people. like the bottom up approach to creating artificial intelligence.

them being real was definitely a twist, Im just not exactly sure where they will take it for s3, and Im also not sure how much from sao they r allowed to take and reuse since its in the same universe but different authors

Jacob, obviously alive "fluctuloid?" scared for life of this little pink loli demon.

LLEN: I gotta question my life decisions. Wait no, I gotta pull out some cool one-liner before I kill!

Epic Season Finale battle!!

Jacob keep winning in real war but got PTSD from LLENN in GGO LMAO


Overall it was a fun season, it's nice we got another season of this spin off series which was better than the original SAO GGO arc.
7/10

And that ending song was banger.

Original GGO: "Shion uses GGO to heal from her trauma!"

GGO Alt: "Lets use GGO to cause trauma in Soldiers!"

Not the twist I expected but quite the funny "parrallel"(?)/mirror/reference.

I enjoyed the season but it kinda felt rushed.

First arc with the ship battle royale was quick despite taking so many episodes. Like, full squads getting insta-wiped. The water rising fast as fuck. Guess it makes sense since the whole event took two hours in-game, but it felt like a rushed two hours.

Same thing with the castle battle. Was cool. Felt rushed though. Could've maybe fleshed it out a bit more and had the players maybe get a little suspicious about the event. The toxic bomb ended up being a non-factor. Kinda weird that it was the first time all the major teams worked together, and LLENN didn't bother saying thanks or anything before everyone dipped. The PTSD veterans thing was a cool twist but was just kinda tossed at you right at the end and that was it.

Also suuuuuper bummed we didn't any Karen x Elza yuri scenes this time around. Hell, the two of them didn't get any IRL screen time at all. Those two aside, none of the characters got all that much IRL time. Which I think is a bit of a let down. I do enjoy the bits of characterization they all get when they communicate and socialize outside the game. We got little bits and pieces, but I think a decent bit more would've been cool to see. Especially between arcs as a little breather between events.

Finally finished! I think it was fine with some good moments. Pitou and LLENN carried the show.

I totally saw the twist of the NPCs be real soldiers when they start to talking lol. LLENN cause even more PTSD to that poor soldier lmao.

7/10. I wouldn't mind to watch even more seasons.

The ship arc was a snoozefest but damn these last few episodes carried the episode. Was kinda obvious that the defenders weren't NPCs and my guess was that they're either russian or american lol

7/10
