| Somebody must have died when that tree fell lol. Damn I hope their budget doesn't run out for this great animations. We unlimited budget works now? |
 "... Because when you live in this world of my closed eyes... ... Being alone is very lonely...". |
| The writing was bad as usual, but SAO HAD A DECENT LOOKING FIGHT SCENE IS THIS REAL LIFE??!?!?? There were some questionable shots, but it was really well animated for being SAO. In the other seasons characters would just fling swords wildly at each other while talking and or standing around. Alicizaion overall has looked bad but at times the show animates super well. |

JudoJD said: im not saying i am fanboy. I just stating that you should drop the show bcuz you didnt like the after watching all episodes. That shows you are just a hater to post nitpicking every episode.chriskor022 said: @JudoJD your opinion of show is meaningless bcuz you judge it before finishing. And why why bother watching when you have that mentality of sao is bad written. You just spread your negative comment bcuz its cool. And i know you watch it to nitpicking it. The 1-4 episode is my opinion a good pace to scale how strong is kirito bcuz, goblin is the weak race in underworld. The leader put a fight to kirito and almost lost, so just drop the show. Dude please...stop fanboying with me |
 |
| I'm impressed, really. The animation effort that went into the fight between Kirito and the goblin boss was knocking on movie-tier level. It had so many epic moments that actually had me on the edge of my seat. Bravo, A-1! ^_^ It was a close fight, but Kirito was able to win by beheading the goblin boss and with Selka's help from her sacred art skill, they saved Eugeo's life. And thus, Eugeo's sword training began and eventually, the Cedar Gigas finally got chopped down. The journey to the central city will be a long one, but it's a journey that I'm really looking forward to seeing and what other people and monsters that Kirito and Eugeo meet along the way. Great episode overall. =) |
| Finally some wheels turning, hope these 4 episodes of set up is worth it. I swear that huge slice of Eugeo seemed like it didn't quite hit right, and I immediately went "That's not how sword blades work!" Then he just actually bleeds, so... cool I guess. It'd be odd if people in the animation staff actually thought that was OK, so it'll be funny if it actually turned out that something was left out accidentally or something. Still though, if all it takes to cut down that huge practically uncuttable tree is grinding some random goblins and a goblin boss. The central city must really be a huge massive dick to not just send an experienced foot soldier or something to do it. Like "Oh yeah let's just leave that rural craphole be, we could like fundamentally develop this entire region while essentially not lifting a finger, but let's just leave a kid and an axe to do this task for like 9 generations". |

| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| The action in SAO never ceases to hype me up. Great episode. |

JudoJD said: You just explained exactly what I understood...this sao..it's not that deep really guy geez lol.. Like I said if you are just going to fanboy because "OMG this guy said the episode was bad" without bothering to understand why SAO isn't super deep no. But that doesn't change that you still failed to understand things. In fact you failed to understand information that wasn't deep. Which despite your first sentence in this post..you didnt actually understand at all based on your earlier words. I pointed this out. Omai...baka ja nai ka? JudoJD said: If you like the ep that's great for you..this ep was straight garbage writing-wise and direction wise for me It was a good episode. Not great, since my standards for great are quite high. But by no means a bad episode even if they did leave some things out. Dont blame the show for your own shortcomings. JudoJD said: They were saying that because "No way someone could think what I like was poorly presented..no way.. A different opinion?...no that would kill me.. Damn this guy" Theres opinions and theres facts. Most people dont seem to realise that presentation quality...is actually mostly down to fact not opinion. And that stupid opinions also exist. Lets be real here. You are just triggered because someone had the audicity to call your opinion bad, and to show you exactly why it is bad. Which I guess is why you feel attacked by my earlier 'matter of fact post'. Its okay you did 'a stupid.' Admitting failures is something you learn from, you know? There's plenty of reasons to dislike SAO; even the current show. But you arent helping yourself (or improving the community) if you just make up reasons that don't exist (in that form). |

| Great epsiode. Aincrad Kirito is back, he wasn't letting anyone kill Eugeo. |
| That swordplay/fight was awesome badass! nice one Kirito! nuff said lolz well alright, they have cut down the demon tree huh...years of work was converted to few days huh... 5/5. |
 |
| What bad writing? I was expecting something out of Kirito in this episode already. Kirito is a natural born swordsman and those goblins were so damn weak, and we were presented with a stunningly well animated fight to boot. Just skip those little details about bad writing just because you felt like criticizing it, are you impressed with what happened? I'm not. Kirito is a swordsman, he would do something about those goblins sooner or later, and he had to find out how that world works not in the worst way possible, but by feeling real pain right there, you even noticed his overconfidence when he cut off the goblin's arm, he thought he had defeated it but no, there was more to it in that world, that IS good writing in my book, notice that the anime is just beginning, just keep watching it, now it gets better and better, enjoy the show and calm down geez... So much hate already. |

Pedram said: Thanks for the heads up manbtw @NitroKageAki @immortaluchiha or even @Tokoya u guys might wanna check out this Youtube channel : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzs3FmQ5qPfBcZj-xSZDKcw this guy will do a "What got Cut" video for each EP of SAO, and explain what was removed from each EP with some picture from manga as well. he also do a weekly EP review but that's not too important, but his "anime vs novel" videos are good for anime-only watchers. He already covered EP 1 and 2 and 3. for Anime vs Novel and what got cut, but didn't do the new EP4 yet. probably later this week. |
| Was hoping Kirito and Blonde Kirito would get the Goblin slayer treatment. |

Pedram said: Mattinator95 said: They changed alot already anyway haven't they. ?? Espically the goblin fight I presume due to tv restrictions or whatever the usual reason is as I heard that it was meant to be very gory. An They are also tieing in the movie with the anime. At the momment I don't feel that they manged to capture how real the world he is in truly is. As I assumed the goblin fight was supposed to convey it. Maybe it will be fine later on . But agian I was told krito is supposed to lose a lot and work hard to become stronger yes they changed a lot already but most of it so far was, reducing the gore, and showing Kirito more OP, while showing Eugeo less OP and removing Eugeo and Zink's fight. and yeh indeed anime failed to capture the seriousness as good as novel. but this time it seems they changing the whole story a bit, and cutting important character scenes. but lets see what happen tomorrow, i hope it's not as bad as i expect from preview. I hope they won't skip the "Higa Takeru" scene if you know what I mean... |
| So... what happened to Kirito's bleeding during the fight? |

| [quote=JudoJD message=56136561 Fine.. It’s alright if you love this sort of stuff in an anime and the episode was such a masterpiece that anyone who didn’t like it is such a hater and should keep quiet about not liking what they saw (but it’s OK for people who liked it not to shut up about liking it ?...get over yourselves..[/quote] The episode is not a masterpiece. It's just not thrash either, as you seem to wish to believe. I've said that before...maybe twice even? I forget~ I have no idea why you'd get worked up that badly over an episode like this. Light knows there's definately anime episodes worth getting very upset about, but I've yet to see any in this show. Most shows dont have any. [quote=JudoJD message=56136561 Noone said you can’t like this just because I didn’t….they are called opinions…deal with them instead of coming for people’s throats just cause you feel this is great (by SAO standards at least).... Noone's opinion matters. There's no point to be so triggered over someone saying they didn't like what you liked. [/quote] Thing is, you didnt say you didnt like it. You called it thrash, which isnt ''your opinion'' but its making a statement about its actual quality rather then your like/dislike. Disliking is fine. But then you know, actually have some courage and say just that. Instead of finding excuse in the shows quality or whatever other excuse you can find. Also, I didnt bother to read the list with points of...getting triggered I guess? Seems like a pointless waste of time, even for me. |
| “Ha ha, the synergy between my left and right hand made them feel scared.” Ye Xiu said. |
| Very nice and interesting episode for 2 reasons, the first that the tree fell finally and the plot can advance and the second is when Kirito was hurt in the Goblin fighter, I think he does not know yet, he is not aware, but he can die in this world and possibly will die in the true, here is my doubt, for me someone was bad in this new experiment!!! Well, it continues, directly to the city!!!! kekekeke |
| That goblin fight was amazingly animated. Finished the story's prologue, and now we're off into the open world! |
| Alright, I think I'm hooked like I was the first few episodes of the first season. Hoping this will be as good as the movie. |

TodAboT said: otakukid said: Didn't Kirito get injured? Why did he seem relatively fine shortly afterwards? It's explained later, but it's the most ridiculous explanation ever. Kirito literally says in episode 7: "If you believe in yourself, you power amplifies many times, to the point where you can rewrite the rules of the world". Came here wondering about that. Was hoping for a good reason but i guess not lol..... wouldve been better if kirito just totally kicked its ass tbh Not here to just hate on SAO btw before i get attacked by ppl. This arc is really interesting so far |
 |
| Now they are both going to city, guess it's gonna be interesting. |
 |
| I don't know man. Kirito season 1 was a man. Season 2 a woman. I wouldn't be surprised if Kirito ends up falling for Eugeo and vice versa. The "I've waited 6 years for you Kirito" sounded kind of... hmmm (in pink guy's words: it's kinda gay). |
