| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION. DO NOT DISCUSS THE LIGHT NOVEL BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Pretty good episode overall with the gameplay setup. Oh Shiro, you just never cease to surprise me. On another note, I find Clammy to be an interesting character this episode. Shame there won't be enough time for development given the length of the show.  Poor Steph as usual..she never ever gets a break. |

| Wish they would've taken more time with the Othello game, rather than that fan service. But at least the game against the warbeasts has finally started. |
| As usual, this is a transition episode with some obligatory silly fanservices (not that i hate it though) The final game (of this season) has started, and Kuuhaku already doomed lol inb4 people yelling and yammering how SAO-ish the next game |
 |
| I'm pretty sure there's one more game after this one, albeit a short one. |

Anyway I really wanna see if they will animated the all game, including the shot Sora made against Shiro almost at the end... That's a must, considering it's part of the strategy plus pure fan-service... |

Well i already know what happened in that game so i don't really care actually. And i don't think there will be any significant cut like what they did with the previous episode since |

I wonder if it would not be more correct to talk about the Matrix or something else that came before that.... For decades it's been a fantasy of every science fiction fan to be able to join a full body dive game system. SAO didn't invent this concept, it's been around for many years before.... Anyway... You say they already started chapter 4? then they'll most probably At least one can hope that | | (^_^) / / |

| I want a season 2! :D |
| That bath scene was very funny. I didn't expect the game to be set in Tokyo though Sora and Shiro must really hate the outside world. |
| You take a bath together and your friends forever. Pretty good episode. Like how Sora is trying to get everyone to be friends. Lot of fun in the bath. Also love the fact that Kurumi and Sora are teasing each other with their memories. Seems like the game has begun. Can't wait to see how this plays out. 5/5 |
 |
| Another great ep! Introductions were funny. Well I'm glad all the trust is worked out. Pretty funny how it all falls apart just from being back in Tokyo. xD Well surely they won't let it end like that. I can't wait to see how it unfolds next ep! Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| Fun ep. Great build up :D Lol'd at how Sora introduced Kurami with her 3 sizes XD Fil and Jibril's hatred towards each other was so lol XD Poor Jibril had to lick her feet But well...Jibril is totally M for her master's so she didn't mind it seems XDXD Then when Steph complained they said it's her own fault lol XD Sora getting flustered by Kurami copying his 'getting wings to fly speech' was lol XD It's rare to see him blush like that XD Miko's voice is awesome :3 Poor Izuna-tan :( She seems sad. Nice speech by Sora at the end until...He sees "Tokyo" XD The NEET inside of Kuuhaku is too strong XD |
 |
| Wow they got sent yo Tokyo?! Then that must mean the Werebeast have information of the real world. That was totally unexpected. Lol @ boob implants magic. I know women who would kill for that. |
| lol, funny episode.. seems blank is in some real trouble lol. |
| Watch Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, you wont be disappointed. http://q.pokefarm.org/user/Uran10 Check out My Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEz0PrV3Vh-ksW0mzOWnnSQ  |
| Looks like the way they're going to play this game will be a lot more complex. |
| Didn't expect them to be taken to Tokyo. This is going to be interesting. |

Takuan_Soho said: DarkMoonWolf said: I wonder if it would not be more correct to talk about the Matrix or something else that came before that Oldest example I can think of off the top of my head would be "I have no Mouth and I must Scream" by Harlan Ellison, dates to 1967. Of course in that story it wasn't a game, but it involved being taken in whole into a computer. Won't ruin the story, but it is a classic. So anything thinking that SAO or Hack invented the concept are just ignorant. Good episode for a transition, have no idea what is going to happen, the preview made it seem like a combat game, which of course "warbeasts" would be good at, but there were a couple of things that looks like clues that suggest that, as in all the games played, the game is merely the framework for the real fight. Points: 1) The Warbeast Shrine Princess showed up there as they were going under, so she is the cheat. 2) Izutan doesn't like how the warbeasts cheat, so Sora's words to her will have meaning 3) Sora's emphasis on "cheats" is going to somehow be a distraction, as is having Fi in place. What it will do is to narrow the possible choices the warbeasts will have, which of course will make it more likely for Sora to guess what they are doing. Looking forward to the next two episodes, should be an interesting fight. 4) Ultimately this is going to be Shiro's game to win pretty good with the guessing there, but you've missed ONE point, that will be detrimental to the game. EDIT: Caleb8980 said: Ah yes this game is a bit complex but it unites 2 of the most liked genres of videogames in it and actually I wouldn't mind it to play it for real ^^ Except thise crushing arms though... |
| Another golden episode. Seriously, all this show needs is at least one more male character. Still score increased to 10/10 after this. |
| Once again, a great episode! Looks like the game will be a real challenge to Blank, didn't expect it to happen in Tokyo haha. 5/5 |
AlexGK said: Another golden episode. Seriously, all this show needs is at least one more male character. Still score increased to 10/10 after this. Well, we have Tet, the "Big Bad", then Ino, the Big BAMF Wolf and finally Sora, the "Big Bad Wolf"... On the other side, we have Shiro, Steph, Kurami, Fiel, Jibril, Izuna and Miko. Not that major a difference in count, to be honest. EDIT: Caleb8980 said: EDIT: GreenDrag said: EDIT: Except thise crushing arms though... Collateral damage doesn't dampen my will to play XD It does dampen mine... I would try it as well though... But I'm not sure calling a broken spine collateral damage is sensible... |

| 5 out of 5 just because. Ehhh this episode was just a set up for the next one, so it wasn't that exciting :| Oh well, next episode sounds awesome. Also lol at the end. |
 |
| The ending was pretty hilarious. Can't believe this ends soon.. |
| Those fanservices in this episode just made my mouth drool. That ending is seriously unexpected,and that's what i like about this show that kept me watching.I wonder how are they going to end with 2 episodes left. (season 2 maybe?) |

| lmao a good ep was expecting more from the bath scne but thats not y i watch this show so dosent matter, love how they made that "we cant lose" into "we cant win" o god now i need 2 wait 7 more days |
| NGNL just have to get another season! |
 |
| This was a great transitional episode, and built up both Kurami and Fi quite a bit, which was something that was lacking in the earlier episodes. I wonder how they will survive being out in the real world? Maybe it will all come down to Steph, so she can prove herself? I was kind of surprised that they cut the foot licking scene, you'd figure something like that would have been shown for sure, considering the ecchi nature of the show. |
| I love Jibril's bloody past lol Poor Sora and Shiro ^^" |
Takuan_Soho said: I had a feeling about that, but didn't want to say it because it would be a spoiler, but since you asked :-) Ok... Feeling like a spoilerish prick right now :p (no, I'm not telling the answers outright) Caleb8980 said: Well for gamers anything goes :D Nah seriously that would be a major point for turning away but why are people free climbing then ;-) It would rather add to the thrill then scare everyone away I think. Can't deny that... hell, it would lure in the adrenaline-junkies like no tomorrow... EDIT: kitkatxz said: Lol No.... that's just you lying to yourself... This is one of the WORST EPISODES in this show HELL it might even be worse episode 2. All they did was introduce themselves again with the past of harem cow #4 and the elf mom. It treats its viewers like the can't remember ANYTHING from the other episodes mocking our intelligence. Or the latter the studio madhouse decided they wanted to have 2 episodes of pure flat out action and decided that they just needed to stall out for time and make this episode basically into a recap... 1 - If you think this is a harem, you are very, very wrong. 2 - The relationship between Kurami and Feel hasn't been introduced before. And neither was Elven Garde's way of treating conquered races. They barely did any recapping in the episode, maybe like 2 minutes (And I think I'm being generous there) And while I do have to agree, that those 2 minutes could have been used better, but you make them out to be the devil for petty thievery. |

| So they game will be surviving in the big city the question is will Sora and Shiro overcome their fears and solve the game. Or will it be up to Steph and Jibril. Best part of this episode is that we got so much Kurami it was very interesting to watch. I am definitely looking forward of seeing more of her the next couple of episodes. |
| Amazing episode. Two more to go. Season 2 or Riot!! |
 |
| "To bond our friendship, we must take a bath together!" Seems legit. And I'm not complaining. Zell was showing her tsundare side and Fi shows her motherly side. AND WE FIND BLANK'S WEAKNESS IS REAL WORLD SOCIAL ACTIVITY GG  I'm loving this anime so far. Definitely one of the best anime this season and clearly deserves another. |
