So Yuuki's guild is the Sleeping Knights and that Jun guy resembles Kirito lol.

Ah, so she wants help to defeat the boss monster of that floor with only those few members.

Adventure together until spring... are they all suffering from terminal diseases or what T.T?

Dem feelings doe T.T

Asuna sure is getting along with guild members :o

A big guild that takes advantage of smaller ones to learn about the bosses and then defeat them eh.

20ish players vs 7 players hmmm... and they have reinforcements... F-ck yeah!!! Kirito has come to help them!

This pic was funny as heck for me. It feel's like Kirito was doing one of those "Take your daughter to work" things.

The rest of the episode was just as good as I expected. I got really emotional with the OP, the ED, AND everything in between, specially when they mentioned that (a) The guild would only last till Spring, and (b) when they said they wanted to leave their name on the wall of fame back on level 1. God, so many emotions just started welling up....

Episode was good. And then Gary Stu showed up. Can't a girl win by herself without having the BF coming in to the rescue every time?

So will Kirito end up fighting with a level of skill he didn't use when fighting Yuuki and thus amazing her with his OP skills? xD

Kirito knows Yuuki's secret... That Yuuki keeps using "boku". Is she secretly a boy lol?


I don't think she would say 'boku' if she was trying to keep being a boy a secret. Which she is not because she *is* a girl - seriously. She's an actual girl.

'Boku' can be used by girls as well - it simply indicates a certain degree of tomboyishness.

How do you suggest them to win against 40+ people at once in a narrow hallway?

Asuna's shining moment is the boss room. They are not there to pvp(and loose against infinitely vast nubers of top players, which btw even
). They are there to get the boss.

Well this episode was certainly better than the last ones ever since GGO ended. But I just can't fathom why they would make the main character so immature. Is it really because this show is supposed to be geared towards teenagers? Because all that her mother says is true and the way Asuna does her little fits just makes me want to facepalm. There's no excuse for throwing away real life responsibilities for a game; only immature kids whose parents provide for and take care of all the bills wouldn't understand this.

Also I can't help but think how silly the main goal of this arc is. So all this drama is because they want to carve their names in a virtual wall in some MMORPG. Great. First season of SAO they were actually fighting to stay alive, and in Log Horizon even as of now they're trying to find out about the world and defend themselves. Nah, here it's just some little ego thing.

What responsibilities? Dinner time? lol
Asuna's mother is not wrong but they need to talk seriously about their feelings. Spending 2 years trapped in a virtual word would change anyone, and the mother doesn't seem to understand that virtual doesn't mean "not real". It's basically a generational gap. Asuna doesn't improve the situation with this no talking attitude.

I guess majority of the world is "virgins" as the writing in SAO came from the light novels which have proved its worth in not only sales, but rankings. Well, I never actually read the LN, but neither have u. If anything, you should be bashing the adaptation, not the writing.

I am not sure why you have to insult everybody who likes this series in next to every of your posts about it - must be some weird kind of kink.

Is it that hard to just state your opinion without being condescending about it?

Btw I'm not even that angry, rather I feel pity for you.

So because you pay the bills you have absolute authority in the life of your child? Might as well legalize slave while we're at it since it's pretty damn similar.

Asuna's mom isn't wrong in what she's saying, she's wrong in that she is forcing her belief on Asuna. She wants Asuna to live as a rich girl, to marry into a rich family and have a big job in a corporation. While it's something you should wish for your child, it's not something you should force on them and only materialist people will think otherwise.

Asuna is following her classes, she's studying and having great grades. It is true that her school will not allow her to enter a high grade princess university but it is made in such a way that she will be able to continue her study after in a normal academy, will be able to graduate and find works she likes. Despite all that you're saying that it's wrong for her to invest her free time into something she enjoy only because it won't put money on her table? How is living against your parent's expectation wrong? It's not like she's missing school or that she's neglecting her studies to play ALO, she gets a little late to the dinner room once a month and her mom freak out because she isn't as materialist as herself.

Why are you even on an anime forum or even watching anime to begin with? Go study to become a doctor, a lawyer or work in a big corporation. I mean, even being there is losing time and you could be doing something actually useful in your life. Actually, stop using the internet altogether and go develop contact with people highly placed in the world that you will be able to use to climb up. You have no time to lose, you've already lost so many time to anime and manga so you should work twice as hard to catch up to the time you lost. [/irony]

Yes because having sex is vital to your abilty to know when something is good written and when something is badly written.
Wait it isn't?
Well then maybe, you should stop making it sound like it's only virgins that can't distinguish betwenn good writing and bad writing.
I pity people that act superior to virgins, which is something a shallow person, that thinks sex is paramount, which hint it isn't, would do and tells me a lot about the sensibility and maturity of that person.
So please stop using virgin instead of people in your sentences.

He was mentioned two times in the episode that's forshadowring right there, also of couse he's there when Asuna needs him.

Now I'm picturing Kirito stalking Asuna in the game. Kirito the obsesesive husband.

I don't know what it is about this episode but wasn't this supposed to be all about Asuna?? Kirito just came out of no where and was all like "This place is off limits."
I'm sorry but i had to re-watch that scene about 5 times before i could calm down because i couldn't decide if he was opposing or aiding Asuna and her group. But the second he started speaking i was like "is that..?" and they showed his body and he went all max speed and ran all over the walls and i was like "..yup" lol.
personally i think they ended this episode perfectly because i really cant wait until next weeks episode!

Probably the best episode since... well, i actually can't remember the last time I thought a SAO episode was good.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...
