| Finally, this is a solid episode and best one in the current arc since episode 16 after two slow episodes of exposition and buildup in which nothing happened in the story. It has cool action and it brings the current arc in the right direction. Can't wait to see what happens next. |

| Episode was a bit meh, the progression is still slow but atleast I got to finally see a little bit of action. |
| Lol, surprised that the week's episode thread isn't over 20 pages yet. Guess the new guidelines have done their job ^^ I was expecting more from this episode. It feels rushed and they definitely skimped out on more than a few details. Kirito's transformation into the pseudo-Gleam Eyes was not as epic as I imagined it to be >.< |

| This episode's adaptation is kinda meh for me... Didn't like the fight animation~ |

itsvero said: Because it can be considered as a sexual innuendo and they wanted Kirito to do something sexy to her. Biting can be acceptable. I was hoping more of Kirito to bite her ears.But what the fuck, Kirito; why in God's name did you bite her fingers...

| Awesome episode in my opinion! The battle system in ALO seems a lot more like actual MMORPGSs that I've seen, such as LoL. Fights in SAO were mostly just like real world fights, but ALO fights seem to require more strategy, which I can appreciate. Kirito is as beastly as ever with his new genjutsu skills! I'm also starting to really like Lyfa. Which is kinda funny since I don't really care for real life Suguha! Suguha as Lyfa just seems way hotter to me! If Asuna didn't exist, and if they weren't related, I would totally be a Kirito x Lyfa shipper! I wonder how Kirito and Lyfa will be able to stop the Salamanders from deceiving the other two guilds. Hopefully there will be some massive all out battle next week! Anyway great episode, and I look forward to the next. |

| Whoa... Kirito's illusion magic looked like that minotaur boss, I think it was Gleam Eyes? Well that was damn awesome. Though I did not like the noise it makes, like its growls, it was awesome! OMG... It was already bad enough that Sugu fell in love with Kazuto, now Kirito is leading her on to falling in love with him. Damn, is Kirito a gigolo or what? That scene when Kirito bit Sugu's finger was kind of humorous. The anime may not be that good compared to the LN, but it does have some good points. :) |
LazyLuong said: tbh, when I saw kirito form in this episode, I was thinking of Ragnarok Online Baphomet ^^; :< needs a nice large scythe! |

| Not gonna lie, I enjoyed it. I like the setting of the world. It's nice. The suspense was interesting and the action wasn't too bad. Kazuto transforming into Monster-kun reminded me of Ichigo (Bleach) and Goku (DB). :P Suguha reminded me of Orihime for that moment.. |

I don't think you should be discussing this here, it's an episode 19 discussion thread, You guys are discussing the novel using [spoilers] as an excuse. I would agree if it didn't start and have anything todo with the questions of Kirito moving so fast. |
| Kirito is getting even more ridiculous by the minute! He turned into the SAO boss? didn't expect that! The LN didn't say anything bout that so its really awesome to see him go beserk and become a mob boss for once. Next ep is about him saving the two leaders and fighting a strong opponent. Kirito is the definition of badass imo. |
| The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars. Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship. And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now. Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for? |
| Just realized no ones mentioned this(or I might have missed it). Has anyone else noticed that there is a big plot-hole throughout the ALO arc, which is that no ones reported Kirito for being so OP. If we're to believe that they are in an MMORPG and he can do shit like what happened in this episode(or even next), why hasn't anyone gone to an administrator about it? We have ppl banned in MAL for tamer stuff than what Kirito's done in the last 3 eps, yet no ones thought "hang on a minute, we just got owned by 1 guy who transformed into something no ones ever seen before(specially when illusion magics spose to be shit)" anyways...food for thought |
| I kind of felt like the show just completely paused for one whole episode the main story seemed distant and irrelavent |

InfiniteDestiny said: I have to agree with you, the extreme and radical views (not to say excessive negativity and sarcasm), some may be trolling but some seem genuinely held but still far-fetched, clearly made valid discussions including any balanced criticism here a lot harder than it should be.the haters are that freaken predictable, its kinda sad that they put no thought into their criticism either, makes me feel bad for those who actual have valid reasons to dislike the show and they are just flooded out by endless trolling. Valid criticism with evidence to back it up not biased opinions is unfortunately a minority in this thread. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

And this is an asian MMO, so if i go by that logic, a player can literally be like that. And the magic is suppose to be shit for combat uses, which can be interpreted as in, it doesn't heal, buff, or damage. |

| Getting a little bored of SAO lol, I really don't see Kirito as a badass, more so just a weird guy who has random urges to kill |
| I don't know if I'm the only one, but I'm a pretty big SAO fan, love the series, don't care for the hate, but I didn't quite like this episode, I don't know, just seemed off-track on a lot of stuff, hopefully everything has happened has something to do with what he will be doing later on to get Asuna out, if not than its just a filler episode which I'm disappointed in, because there are so few left, and I don't want the last few to be rushed. |

| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |
