| Ready for Ordinal Scale's cast appear... I guess Yuna & Eiji will show up as anime original content... |
| I still don't understand why people who converted from ALFHEIM etc... are hurt from the cuts/damage they receive. Was there an explanation about how the pain sensitivity was increased when they converted, or are they roleplaying for the sake of it ? |
| God this is just getting worse and worse..... Such a shame given the first and second seasons in this world weren’t that bad |
MunaXs said: katie_potaty said: Finally someone who think by herselfSo basically Yanai wanted to fuck a virtual woman and cause Kirito killed her, he thinks that he deserves to die? 'Kay... good luck with that logic! Why on Earth did Ronnie wheel Kirito out of the carriage when PoH clearly wants to do him harm? Like, stay inside you baka! Lastly, why the hell is this season so rapey?! We've had tentacle rape and now we've got some middle aged dude trying to sexually assault Sinon... so unnecessary and so unpleasant Thanks, that means a lot because someone on the KissAnime comments absolutely tore into me for my PERSONAL thoughts about this ep (y'know, like calling me a stupid bitch and stuff). |

Ventus_S said: Read again please. I said ONLY Mal and Crunchyroll still liked it. Talking about Eastern big website. (100 times the user of Mal)  Total viewership for season 3 SAO: 34 millions. Total comments on episode 4: 25668 PS: most Chinese tend to rate stuff much lower if the plot is insulting to their intelligence or defy rationality and logic (using the concept of world setting within that anime ofc) regardless of animation/ music. If an anime didn't do that they'd usually rate 9+ easily unlike Mal. Mal only rate down ecchi even though the premise of those show is to be perverted to begin with. Yet they're ok with tentacle rape in SAO despite it breaks all immersion/tone. But at least SAO got gorgeous animation so it has to be rated an 8~9 right? That's Mal/ Crunchyroll for you. Well I just asking where. Lol And anyway if the ratings can fluctuate there this easily then it should go up after a well adapted episode again. if it actually happens lol |

| SAO PROGRESSIVE ANIME HYPE |
| I swear to god this show gets more and more disgusting with every episode |
| هیچوقت بهتر نمیشه |
| its burning my soul, I can;t watch anymore. |

| this is really cringe...dissapointed. |

| This week on Sexual Assault Online: Not much actually. The Artist formerly known as Rape Emperor was thwarted by a weird unexplained plot device that the LN readers are upset at A1 for fucking up. Which seems to be the them of this episode. Also lol at yanai. There's zero narrative reason for him to be the tentacle monster from ALO. it's funny though that he's also randomly a Quinela simp and a spy for the Americans. |
| So Yanai is not a simple traitor, he has a lot involvement in Alicization even with Quinella. Good twists like always (he's the tentacle monster from ALO). 5/5 |

| in this episode of rape art online: sigh |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
| Lol Sinon should have used her gun since the beginning |
 |
| Yanai is an even bigger bastard than I thought. And he liked Quinella, LOL what. Higa, do something, you gotta fix Kirito! Subtilizer nearly sucked Sinon's "soul" through her mouth, thank God for Kirito's charm (which he gave her how if he's a vegetable?). When she said she would fight and started creating her weapon, I was expecting the awesome Solus bow, but it's just Hecate. :-/ Siune trying to reason with the Chinese and Korean players. Moonphase and Mei Mei believe her, but all the others are idiots who believe PoH. I thought that's it for Sheyta and Iskahn, but Leafa and Lilpilin's guys came to the rescue. I wonder if Leafa can defeat all those red knight players. Well, she can't die with that Terraria regeneration power, so maybe she can, LOL. Kikuoka and Rinko realize that Yanai is the mole and Higa is in danger. Asuna is in despair after seeing how many Underworld people got killed by the red knights. Lisbeth feels guilty about the ALO players who lost their accounts. Can't decide if PoH is smart or an idiot. Maybe both, LOL. And he wants to fight the vegetable Kirito. Now looks like a good time to wake up, Kirito! But Higa didn't "repair" him yet, OMG??? And at the end the SAO server turns on? O_o |
| Waiting for Gundam SEED Movie..... (ಥ‿ಥ) Waiting for Sailor Moon Cosmos..... o(≧▽≦)o |
| Yay more attempted assault scenes, just what I was missing. How the hell does the Vecta guy keep his powers with another account? Doesn't make any sense... I'm also really curious why the ALO players don't just disappear. Is it cause of being converted accounts? All that damn suffering for an AI... I get that they are "human", but still. Also, how the fuck did none of the Rath stuff ever realize that code 871? Are they even monitoring this thing at all? You would think they would have looked further into certain fluctlights and their behaviour, like when Eugeo broke his own much sooner than Alice. Kirito isn't gonna die. From the after-ED scene, I'm guessing now the guy from Ordinal and perhaps even the girl (Yuuna?) will come and help. I'll give them that PoH's reason to make them murderers was at least an interesting twist, albeit it just makes him another psycho villain with no other personality. Just like researcher. Another Sugou follower... Does everyone here come from older stuff? |

| [quote=Inorichi message=60377688] Saiklo said: Inorichi said: Seriously what is it with these threads and rape... Someone loses their life in media. Everyone point and laugh! Someone is groped by some tentacles in anime. It's time to lose your minds. There has been no rape in SAO and somehow, someway, rape discussion always manages to find its way here. Ah, yes now it's time for the attempted rape and sexual assault topic. SAO aside, WOU p2, Leafa and Sinon's 'scenes' are clear examples of sexualized assault, not sexual assault. Both DIL and Subtilizer/Gabriel's intents are clear, neither are sexually assaulting anyone. Their assaults are shown in a sexualized manner for fan service. I genuinely don't understand people's standards and expectations of media. Apparently dying and first degree murder in anime A-OK. Sexualized Assault, no no no, unacceptable. Its not the fact that its being used. Its that its so tasteless and needlessly abundant to the point where I think the author has a serious rape fetish. Its clearly just being shoved in at this point to cover up bad writing. Ah yes, like espionage, illegal human experimentation, kidnapping, drugging, murder etc fail to make a bad guy 'bad'. Of course, groping someone with tentacles in VR is the worst crime of them all! Not taking someone's life, but groping them in a virtual space makes them so bad! You throw out a bunch of claims regarding SAO, but have absolutely no examples. Clearly the discussion is going nowhere since your only arguments are fueled by your imagination. The double standards here. People dying in every episode - not an issue. Sexual assault in 25% of episodes oh no. It's not like the number of sexual assault crimes in a given year exceed murder crimes? Totally unrealistic am I right? The only example you do present is non-canon material, also translated which you use to judge the author on his 'sexual fetishes' which you came up with. It's not like the Leafa scene didn't annoy me. But that's only because A1 turned a dark and desperate DIL into some air manspreading clown dancer? It's fine if you want to hate on SAO, but if you want to make up a reason, please come up with a better one. Either that or just don't watch if you hate it so much. Do you just have so much free time you force yourself to read up on media you hate? (wow and I thought forcing yourself to watch anime you hate was bad). All joking aside, you present 0 examples, don't explain your standards, and your arguments are fueled by your subjective opinions. You 'THINK' its tasteless and needless. You 'THINK' they have a fetish, etc, etc. I could 'THINK' a bunch of things. It doesn't necessarily make for a good discussion if all we're doing is throwing opinions around. this dude said "clear examples of sexualized assault, not sexual assault" today i learnt sexualized assault is different from sexual assault, if this was an example of your "joking aside" then thats some fcking hilarious joke because i didnt come across any other jokes in your rant defending a pretty valid criticism because according to you you can't like a show if you're critical of it. Your whole argument is why do you'll care about this tasteless imagery/bad plot device when there are worse ones like espionage, illegal human experimentation, kidnapping, drugging, murder. first that's such a weak argument and i hope you know it, if we all thought like that nothing will ever be done or accomplished, something being worse does not cancel out another issue. Also if those things were to happen in SAO i'm pretty sure people will be talking about it, just like how people got sad over eugeo's death, nobody as far i know has ever dismissed or didn't care about a mc dying, be kidnapped, drugged or murdered in an anime, if it's written or portrayed well people will praise the show for doing it, if they don't handle it well then there will always be criticism and Kawahara has been bad when writing about sexaul assault, i love sao but it's true. If you can't write/handle a touchy subject especially around your mcs then don't do it but if you can then great, we will admire you for it instead Kawahara uses sex/sexaul assault for fan service or just to have his work/characters appear edgy/dark. you asked the other guy for examples so i'll give it to you(anime mostly) most past villain/bad guy in SAO has had some sort of assault interactions or intentions from asuna's bodyguard Kuradeel stalking/watching her when he wasn't supposed to Sugou actually sexaully assaulting asuna in fairy dance and Shinkawa Kyouji, one of the main villains from GGO who tried to assault then kill sinon because she didn't like him back then there are the tentacles which are more obvious. the soul sucking is a bit different, even tho it has always been hinted as being sexaul even in the LN, it doesn't have to be physical for it to be so, its implied. in this case the author is actually doing a good job of using literary devices like symbolism and metaphor to express his point, its up to the reader or viewer to interpret it so he's grown to handle it a bit better? |
 |
| God, I miss Quinella. |
| Why tf didnt he just kill them all off ffs, I wanna rape asuna so bad now ahhh |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| yeap...that subtilizer scene when tried to ahem.. subdued Sinon :D damn she just summon the Hecate just like that, Subtilizer too haha can't wait to see their battle of guns. So Yanai was Sugou Underling and that disgusting tentacle at Alfheim Arc, and by now he was the one who started the mess in Underworld with his noble lineage and the code that helping Quinella ruin the underworld. Surprisingly was He also Chudelkin, looking by his obsession toward Quinella. Meanwhile Asuna's side took big loss, POH really eager to meet Kirito again... it seems the awakening is closer .. is it :D?? "it's Showtime" ahh that Laughin Conffin Catchphrases... very nostalgic |

| We all know there will be tons of doujins of this new season. |
 |
| Sinon was about to get violated hardcore till death... this story sure loves hurting girls... Things getting tougher and tougher for our gang... |
| lmao at this cringe episode ruining almost every single storyline at the same time |
| Dude, what's wrong with people angry that Shinon wasn't kissed? What the hell. |
| Ooh this episode bringing back memories to the Aincrad days ! |
| the lack of logic is stunning, look at me, with unique gear, attack that team of people, also with unique gear, what a bunch of morons, converting their main account to get unique gear... says the guy WITH UNIQUE GEAR... this show is so dogshit dude lmao |
| They brought back tentacle rape guy. I don't even know what to make of that. |
 |
| Can someone explain to me the deal with Sinon's pendant and how it's related to Kirito? I haven't watched SAO in years and I don't remember the flashback scene they show so I'm not able to connect how that pendant is Kirito's/relates to Kirito. |
 |
| This episode was so bad, I don't even know what to say. Nothing makes sense anymore, things just happen so they can waste more time... Horrible. |
| The fundamental flaw this episode and most of this arc so far has is that it forgets that people are playing a video game. While things are serious, there should also be a more lighthearted and sportiness to the tone that is found in Gun Gale Online. The only ones who are facing life or death stakes are the people of the Underworld, but the ending of this episode shows that surrender is a perfectly viable option. The only thing that was a bright spot for this episode was PoH. He had some really cool lines and his justification for killing his own clan fit the character. |
| So is the traitor doing all that to get with the Americans or for the promise he made to Quinella? Feels weird to say, but at this point I want to see Quinella somehow come back and destroy everyone, lol. That would look cool. It wouldn't make any sense, but what does, in the Underworld, at this point? While at that, please bring Eugeo and have him fight with Kirito again! |

Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| This episode was wild, that guy who held a weapon up to Higa was actually associated with Sugo and the creep that messed with Asuna back in Fairy Dance. Yanai was the one who put Code 871, sabotaging the Underworld, slowing down the experiment. He even visited Administrator and tried to help her give absolute control over the Underworld. Meanwhile back in the Underworld, just before Gabriel was about to suck her soul while trying to kiss her (what a big creep), Sinon's pendant saves her, and it was from Kirito when he was diving into GGO (it's the round medical cap thing I don't know what it is exactly). The both of them are going to show down with their guns from GGO, which is awesome. Sinon bringing out her Hecate was awesome too. Things aren't looking good on the battlefield, Siune tries to communicate that their forces are not the enemy and the players were given false info. New characters Moonphase and Mei also find things to be strange. Kirito's friends are down and worn out, surrendering. PoH was the one who tipped off the Assault Team about LC's hideout back in SAO, which explains the surprise attack against the Assault Team when they got there. PoH has no idea what Kirito went through, agonizing over killing a few LC members, that bitch. Now, it's showtime. Kirito will save his friends, especially if they are in trouble. 5/5 |
| 871=Yanai? Takes a certain kind of 'genius' to name the malcious code to his associated number let alone wanting to become subservant to an AI that is around 3 years old. |
 |
| Ok seriously, how many times are we gonna get a shot of Asuna just standing there wide-eyed, pleading "Stop. Please, just stop" while the red soldiers keep up their massacre? It's like enough already; we get it... |
