----------------------------------------
So Asuna meets Yuuki's other friends in her guild. This episode was pretty calm imo as the other members wishes to be remembered in their world when they conquer a floor boss. How cute.

It looks like Asuna's mom found out about her being playing again. Seems like everyone is having so much fun there. Some really strange bosses they encountered this episode. Yuuki is also quite courageous heh

Bringing to her guild and said they want to defeat a monster with small numbers. They don't have much time together. Her mother again... That phrase that don't think about her feeling again.

The guild is strong itself that looks like she is in as fill-in member for the most part. Double head monster, and is strong. There's another guild who is peeping and wanting to steal the strategy. More people when they are back and they had to battle. Somehow what Yuuki girl said touched her. I'm glad Kirito is involved, too.

New guild, fighting bosses and raids, lots of fun stuff. The group looks strong though so following them around should be a lot of fun.

Oh man that scene at the end though @_@

So should I expect some PKing next episode?

Anyway, Yuuki was quite strong this episode, Kinda didn't want Kirito to get involved by eh, whatever.

4/5

Kirito's involvement is at similar size as Asuna's was in GGO so don't worry.

There is a decent story point to it from Asuna's POV.

Anyway very good episode, developing things nicely towards the climax. If they can continue balancing things properly like this, then this will be a very good arc.

The Sleeping Knights just want to get their names engraved. That's why they're fighting the boss in a six, or rather seven man group. That's seems to be reasonable.

Good try in fighting the boss. The guild who was spying on them looked pretty weak to me. Yuuki getting flustered when they didn't let her team pass through. Again, Kirito just steps in and joins the party.

BA Kirito is BA XD Hater's gonna hate lol...Can't wait for Excaliber >.<

Another really well adapted ep :3 But really! The OP and ED give me so much feelz T^T

Can't wait til Asuna convinces her mom and makes her stop bitching.

Yuuki is really adorable. Loved her reason for not choosing Kirito being that he knows her secret and her pout when she said it was cute XD

I don't see this lasting 4 eps though so I wonder if they'll put some of Alicization in the end?

Episode was kinda rushed but...

DAT FUCKING EPISODE ENDING, DA FUCKING SAO MAGIC.

Kirito, Asuna AND Zekken together, waited too long for this.

Kirito was really badass right there, much more than in LN.

5/5 and hail Mother's Rosario!

There's way too much foreshadowing for that for them NOT to use it :)

The Sleeping Knights wanting to leave their name in the memorial by defeating the boss with one-seventh of the manpower!

Asuna's mom pulling the cord like that >.>

It was nice seeing Asuna getting to know the members of the small guild and kind of guiding them. She also foiling the plans of the big boss killing guild as they uses scouts to see how the boss is without fighting it first!

Yuuki challenging the enemy guild to a fight, seven versus over twenty! Kirito joining in from behind though the others have reinforcements too. >.< Quite the scene though it was a little cliche for him to use the same words :P

THIS EPISODE WAS SO BADASS LOL

I really like the guys in The Sleeping Knights and I'm glad that Asuna is fitting right in with them

Yuuki gets more awesome with each episode, I can't believe she just challenged them all to a fight like that xD

And dat ending...........Fucking Kirito coming through like a BAMF and told everyone to fuck off XD

This arc is HYPE and I am loving every bit of it

Wow, those final few minutes were actually genuinely entertaining. I usually bitch a lot about SAO, either I or II, but that was quite fun. It's a little reminder to me about how this show could have been instead of how it is turning out.

Thay rushed over some conversations, but I guess that worked out. Kirito's appearance annoyed me in the LN, because it felt out of place and they described it there as something like

I probably don't need that spoiler tag. Anyway, here it was adapted in the anime just as a fine brief twist right at the end of the episode.

I thought they would barely have enough episodes to cover MR, but it looks like we will now have a pleasant amount of time to cover that "secret". Seems like we can expect

Of course, Kirito comes in and saves the day. Nice to see him,

Yuuki is really adorable. I like her reason for not choosing Kirito.

Yuuki and her groups challenged the enemy guild to fight, the enemy guild got reinforcement at the end. Good thing Kirito came at the right time.

I really enjoyed this episode. That moment when Yuuki challenged the armored dude was hilarious. I felt like they kinda rushed it a bit but it was still great seeing Kirito give that smirk while repeating what they just told Yuuki lol. A true late entering of the hero right there. xD

Seeing Asuna's tear drop on her cellphone as she turmoiled over calling Kirito or not was heartaching. x.x

Great episode!

I suspect Yuuki may be Asuna's mother. Okay, that's a really weird idea. Sometimes, I come up with these sort of hunches.

What I like is the duality of her mother unplugging the amusphere.

Because if this was nervegear, Asuna would be dead at that moment.
IT really showcases how little she cares about her daughter's wellbeing or what she went through in SAO.

I'm really excited about this arc, and it seems like there's going to be a bunch of action in the next episode. I hope this arc stays pretty Asuna centered because it's a nice change, since Asuna hasn't gotten much screen time at all this season. I sort of hope Kirito doesn't get too involved. But I have to say, Kirito's entrance at the end was pretty cool.

I'm fairly certain she's well aware of the differences.
And cares about her daughters wellbeing, just not about what Asuna wants to do/enjoys.


Psychology =/= facts.

If she actually empathized with Asuna, had an empathic connection, she would NOT do that, because it would be emotionally truamatizing for both and she would be aware of it.

For me that's no different if Sinnon's mother waved a gun around when Sinnon was later to lunch.

I already knew i was gonna love the Mother Rosario arc and that it will be very emotional. Im gonna cry like a bitch the next few episodes and most likely the last one for sure. 4 more weeks till this is done. Then Aniplex releases Sword art online extra edition dubbed.Im putting my money on that aniplex will announce then they will dub SAO2 early 2015, what do you guys think?
