Thanks for clarifying this. I was about to ask why most of the 1st half of Underworld was missing from the recap. Obviously, it would of had to of been told from Kirito's point of view.... maybe Eugeo's, but they're how can we say this? Unavailable at the moment

Yeah, a decent enough recap. Looking forward to the next episode In The Far North, the start of War of Underworld proper!

Welp, a recap, but one that's pretty much needed since it has been sometime since Alicization the 1st and 2nd cours.

Even as a recap all the way through, quite excited for the War of Underworld 3rd and 4th cour arcs starting next week.

Pretty cool and helpful recap, in all honesty!

Asuna talking us through the world mechanics in particular and then Alice through the eventful and ultimate battle with the Administrator, as a result pretty much covered everything aside from the events focused on the first recap in a nutshell I reckon.

And then back to that cliffhanger xD. Definitely felt nostalgic in that aspect too, lol.

Looking forward to War of the Underworld from next week onwards!

This.

That was a recap done right and worth watching. Both in terms of its timing (not between cours, but before the next season of the show), and the actual quality of it. I enjoyed it, and it doesn't happen often with recaps. Gg.

Staying with 7/10 which I used for all the other SAO stuff. Nothing specia in this recap to warrant a higher score. Also not super bad to give a lower score. I do that if it gets annoying and unnecessary - for showas that have recaps too often.

Here at least it was necessary since the previous season was very long and some time between it and now.

Not a bad recap I guess, I kinda needed that first half narrated by Asuna to refresh my memory about the events.

As recap episodes go this was one that did an excellent job of allowing us to relive all the events that happened in a easily understood manner. After so long its nice to finally see Asuna and Alice again. Its smart in how to managed to involve both Alice, Asuna and the girls views and events into one ep though. Can't wait to see the series resume on the 13th.

Did they seriously just put that final battle as stills in the credits? I'd have thought that'd be one part they'd want to keep in to hype up anyone going into War of Underworld.

They actually recap the parts I hated from last season. First part is focusing on Asuna discovering what alicization is and the second part is focusing only on the final battle against that random naked girl. Those plot points were extremely convoluted and uninteresting. Anyway, not sure if I still gonna give this season a chance, but this recap made me think if I shouldn't give a lower score to the season itself

Lmao watching this I noticed I never actually finished season one. How I let that epic final slip is beyond me.

This recap was actually a bit worse than the 18.5 recap. Still it's not bad if you wouldn't be marathoning this and had time in between to get some key moments back about the followup!

So in general a fine recap.

That was actually reallu helpful since I'm about to start "War of Underworld"
Didn't really tell us anything about the time they had in the simulation but instead focusing more on the reason why everything's happening and the real world.

This is easily the most useful recap I have actually watched. There was so much crazy stuff in the first season that there were few things I completely forgot about that this recap reminded me of.

Nice way to remember what happened before War of Underworld since quite a lot happened at the end but I still can't bring myself to like that last fight.
