| To clarify, SAO Alternative is written by Sigsawa Keiichi, the author of Kino no Tabi and Allison to Lillia. While he and Reki Kawahara get along well enough that this kind of collaboration is possible, they are different people who write different stories. https://myanimelist.net/people/2373/Keiichi_Sigsawa https://myanimelist.net/people/11466/Reki_Kawahara |
| Did I miss something or did they just completely brush aside explaining how they knew who Llenn was? |
Paul said: Did I miss something or did they just completely brush aside explaining how they knew who Llenn was? Yes, RL-M did not explain how he knew who LLENN was. He managed to divert LLENN's attention from that. Due to a lot of meta-level clues, we viewers suspect that it's because Pitohui is Kanzaki Elsa, and M is in position to read LLENN's fan letter to her. But LLENN herself has no way to know that the anime spent way too much time on Kanzaki Elsa for her not to be part of the plot. |
| Crazy development especially that ending! Found it actually very funny that those group of "kids" where actually that big squad. Looking forwards to see what's next though. |
 |
| Boring episode my god. I don't know why, but nothing in this anime really interests me. I've always liked isekia/vr type ideas, but so often they are just not executed properly. Honestly if Pitou is so obsessed with death, she should probably do something in real life that involves risking your life. |
Pixie said: this episode was so messy and so many things bugged me. the main thing though was the fact that i kinda felt my hopes for this anime deteriorate when she had the conversation with M in real life. it was so cliche and seemed so forced, especially pito's obsession with death. the fact that she wasn't even apart of the sao incident makes it even less interesting and confusing cause there is absolutely no correlation. hopefully it delves deeper into her sad cosplay of a psychotic personality to improve this painful and poorly written plot device. it probably won't improve the story though cause the direction it's going is already beginning to look like a let down. i really don't see the point of pito as of the current episodes, or the gymnastics club. couldn't they have written a better plot? fingers crossed the writers are miracle workers and comeback from this downhill of an episode in regards to the rest of the anime :/ FULLY AGREE!! I first place ...how the hell "M" reach her real address and name? what kind of conection he can have to know it? Right, with the gimnastic clulb, it's forced.... but because she "llenn" wearing" a Keyring of her avatar gunm ... bur well ... >_< Let see how it going out |
|
| Hmm... the guy claiming to be M, Goushi, seems to be ultra knowledgeable about Pito, and all the representative imagery is very abstract etc... I'd have to wonder if he isn't Pito pretending to be M potentially split personality, and M another person. Everything said was very clear and concise, referring to things Pito wanted etc, including the promise between the 2 of them made ingame for LLENN to defeat Pito and how she wants it to be fair fight etc, which M shouldn't know about unless Pito blabbed about it. Pito did already say that she hardly listens to music and can't read sheet music. Goushi isn't acting like a chicken like the real M is, he's too forceful. ...Unless Goushi played as Pito sometimes? You guys don't pay attention do you lul. |

| I'm sure that M knew about LLENN's real identity as Karen from the letter Karen sent to Elsa the singer somehow. But now knowing that he's this crazy IRL, I won't be surprised if he knew from spying, stalking, etc... He's completely obsessed with Pito! Hold up... Are we about to witness a 2 player team consisting of 2 lolis?! A fast loli and an explosive loli, wow all participants in Squad Jam 2 are done for... |
  |
| I'm really mad at Karen for not following up and asking how this crazy man got her real life info |
| Show: Hey, you know that cool girl from earlier? She's actually a suicidal lunatic! Me: |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| I don't know why the writers of this series seem to think the stakes need to involve death. The first 4 episodes worked great as an essay on player vs. person dissonance and now they're throwing all that out for a stupid battle royale involving homicidal maniacs. Again. It doesn't need an enemy! For the first 4 episodes, the enemy was the judgmental and superficial nature of society and it worked great! Why'd they have to abandon it so quick?? |
| P-chan the sekando. Its the amazon. There's best girl. Her name is Moe. That's M? lol at M getting up in Karen's face. He's shorter than her. Pito is Kaiba? lol at Kirito silhouette. Oh shit! M used the wall slamming move on Karen. lol He's shorter than her. M loves Pito. M knows he's not right in the head. lol Karen will defeat Pito. Show the nipples! Dat ass! Dat oppai! Miyu got a body. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Oo, nice plot twist! Hopefully she kills Pito, Pito seems a bit off her rocker |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| this was pretty good up until the.. suicide and both of them being off their rocker thing. |
| Little bit over the top but I dont mind, really curious to see Pito in IRL, seeing as how she's a succesful business woman and a maniac at the same time. |
 |
| So M isn't the exactly the kind of nerd I expected. Seems like he's more obsessed with Pito than anything. "Coffee makes me sick, but I drink it because I love Pito so much!" Talk about pussy whipped. Does anyone else think that Pito's backstory doesn't fit at all? It's just... eh. Being an SAO survivor and being obsessed with the life or death stakes from being trapped in the game would make much more sense than being a psychopath who was disappointed at not being trapped. |
| IRL M was the l further thing I could imagine. |
| Was a decent episode. Nice change of pace and we get to see some faces behind a bunch of characters. So basically M is in love with Pito. Pito wants to turn GGO into a game where if you die in game, you die in real life. All because she never got to experience Sword Art Online herself when people actually died. She is obsessed with death and now she has dragged M into playing the next Squad Jam 2 with her. So if Pito dies in game, she's going to commit suicide in real life and M is going to follow her if he dies too. He's obsessed with her and will do anything she does. Idk it's a decent idea I guess, just felt like there was cringy moments. 3/5 |

| Alright, after this episode we know for 100% that Pito is that female singer, though it was already highly likely before. I'm really annoyed that they just skipped the quesiton how M found her and it seems like we won't get back to that subject, that's a big plothole... Also both M and Pito are retarded and the MC should've done this: LLENN: Why don't you call the police? M: I don't want to. LLENN: Well then I'm out, fuck you buddy! |
| M: Nobody understands how crazy Pitohui is. You are one to talk, bro. |
| "You don't become Hokage in order to be acknowledged by the village. The one who is acknowledged by everyone, is the one who becomes Hokage." Uchiha Itachi, Naruto Shippuden |
| I love Karen's facial expressions, they are funny. M looks so different and a little bit weird. Now I am curious to see how Pito looks like. Also he never told LLENN how he found her. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| wasnt half bad, i was disappointed that karen didnt find out how M found her but otherwise, solid episode. |
 |
| Not sure what to think of this weird development, but compared to their initial appearance, Pito and M sure turned out to be some rather crazy obsessed people |
 |
| Alright then, another one for the list of "plots that wouldn't exist if the characters visited a psychologist". Really? That's the best thing you can come up with? "Pito is deranged and has a deathwish so she'll kill herself" and "Pito's boyfriend is completely fine with that because he's just as deranged, but instead of helping her, she just harasses and convinces another person to kill her in a game to save her from killing herself". What the fuck? |
| Pretend there's something flashy and cool here. |
| those two nutbars need to be in a loony bin... :( |
just an ol school otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
| Maaann......did this show really need such lame and forced bullshit to make up stakes? Real person would have called the cop's. |
