AiCon said: I did not read the LN, but judging from the reactions when Yui prodded Suguha about Recon, I think I see a budding tsundere there. I watched it a couple of times and I still get that feeling.]Huh? Perhaps you know more from reading the LN but from the interactions we saw in the anime I would hardly think that Suguha has any feelings toward Recon other than some backup friend - someone she can call upon when she's being lonely. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change?

NwAurion said: Apparently Kazuto (Kirito's name in real world) never enters Suguha's room, at least not since he came back from SAO game.I'm suprised that Kirito didn't notice that Suguha has such a big poster of her character in her room. Did she always have this poster, did we see the place where she put it (the ceiling?) before this episode? |

AirStyles said: Obstinate said: AirStyles said: SkyTate said: A Suguha-filled episode! Loved it! Seeing Recon this way is just sad... though I don't really care much about him for now. Somehow Sigurd has that look... somewhat like Heathcliff or Kuradeel. It's just normal, All other male character going after Kirito's harem are losers All leaders are possessive butt holes in SAO's world. Talk about generalisations. Prove me wrong then. I don't need to, just keep watching. |

HibiChouchou said: You may be right. It is interpretation thing. But as I said, I watched it a couple of times and I still think she is not without any feeling towards Shinichi (Recon). But at that point when Yui asked her she has pretty little understanding of what romantic feeling is, and she is confused about it. This applies to her feeling towards Kirito. It may also apply to Recon.symbv said: She was just embarrassed when she was asked by Yui about love cause the one she likes was flying beside her.I did not read the LN, but judging from the reactions when Yui prodded Suguha about Recon, I think I see a budding tsundere there. I watched it a couple of times and I still get that feeling. |

Zombie_Takashi said: Asuna's virginity was taken by Kirito in SAO, and as Asuna said there is no difference between real and virtual, so for Asuna herself, she is no longer a virgin in ALO.Is it safe to assume that Suguou took Asuna's virginity by now in ALO? A more suitable question you should have asked is : Have Sugou had sex with Asuna already in ALO ? |

AiCon said: You mean Chapter 16.5 ? You cannot find it in the novel now. That was part of the story published on the web when SAO was still a web-only publication. Actually I think it is alright - at least all the author's years of reading erotic novels showed in his writing X-Dsymbv said: Wasn't there an entire chapter in the LN dedicated to Kirito and Asuna's first time together?Zombie_Takashi said: Asuna's virginity was taken by Kirito in SAO, and as Asuna said there is no difference between real and virtual, so for Asuna herself, she is no longer a virgin in ALO.

The author's strength is in action like in Accel World though I do give him credit for trying. I know right! Who the hell write a hentai without including the mandatory "My hips are moving on their own" line? |

The author must have read quite a number of erotic novels as the vocab he used is a lot more diverse than the usual stuff you read in a standard hentai stuff... Not sure about any translation.

AiCon said: Because of the legendary status of Chapter 16.5, I had to dig it out after watching ep.10. So that part is the only part of LN (although it is in fact no longer an official part of the LN) that I read. I plan to read the actual LN if I have time though.symbv said: Huh? I thought that you didn't read the LN so how would you know about the words the author used?Actually I think otherwise.

| I am actually finding the pacing of the anime much better in ALO arc. SAO arc was all over the place, and fans were having horrible experience getting used to the bizarre nature of the series and a big let down for my liking. ALO arc however, has toned down the pacing significantly and are actually putting a better effort. I am just hoping this doesn't end up being yet another Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu. Pointless characters introduced who never play any part in the run. 4/5 |

| This episode wasn't all that amazing like the others. Not much happened, so it was a little boring. I feel like Kirito may end up liking Leafa (Suguha), since he spends time with her and also in the OP (Asuna looking up at them two). We'll have to find out later, I guess. The ending, though, was absolutely stunning. It seems that Asuna may escape, and Kirito is getting ever closer to rescuing her. The timing of when the ED came in just did it for me, it was fantastic. 5/5 Hope that there is more to look forward to next week. |

AiCon said: The whole thing is straight out of a steamy erotic novel and it will never make it in a teenager LN like SAO. The language is full-blown 18x level and would not fit well in the rest of the novel. In fact even when it was put on the web, it was not supposed to be the "official" part of the SAO web-novel either. They removed this 16.5 before the actual physical novel was published, perhaps they realized how this may be used to besmirch the novel and hurt its sales. Any reason why they removed it and are there any more chapters like it? All my comments about the writing of this chapter 16.5 is about the Japanese original, so I don't know how good the English translation is. Just bear this in mind when you read the English translation. As far as I am aware, this is the only chapter that has such colorful history. |

| This episode was downright bad and that's coming from someone who pretty much fanboys/explained lots of stuff in past discussions. Good thing salamander is next episode with lots of fighting. |
 |
| Sugu fanservice... not that I complain but without it we might have gotten to the fight against the salamanders >w> ok, maybe not. At least we know the next ep will be awesome, can't wait to see Kirito using his Illusion magic *-* those guys will shit bricks |
| This is turning into fan service online, the first part which was actually about SAO was much better imo. Now I feel like this is turning into some generic harem. Next episode will probably be PvP chase/battle and stuff about that cave. They better reach Asuna soon. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
Kurogashi said: Need more Leafa fanservice and less Suguha. :( and this ShiroX said: .Recon is friendzoned so hard it almost hurts to watch Kirito will beat the crap out of those salamander guys the next episode. His badassery is obligatory in each episode or else this won't be like the usual SAO. Asuna's witty as usual, her willpower to stay calm in that situation is amazing as well. Sigurd looks like a hybrid between Kuradeel and Heathcliff. In SAO, everytime a guy who looks like that and has that kind of personality appears, you automatically knows that one of the main characters will beat the crap out of him later. No exceptions. silversaint said: that has to be one of the lamest villains ive seen in a while Kayaba is a better villain. Sugou is disgusting, and he lacks charisma. 3/5 |

| Another great, episode. So far I liked SAO arc more than alfheim, because alfheim goes a little bit too slow for me. The end of episode was chilling, though. Obstinate said: Hagure Yuusha no Estetica. Why does someone just HAVE to mention the shittiest trainwreck in last five years or so? Why oh why...here come the horrible memories. I have yet to see more despicable and boring leads than in that show. People calling Kirito a gary stu should watch it just to know what a real personality-less misogynist gary stu looks like. |
 |
| I really didn't enjoy this episode, but then again, the Suguha fanservice was really, REALLY unnecessary. |
