You sure he isn't just using a male character with long hair? That seems more plausible then him suddenly switching to female.

Well, choosing a female avatar is the only way to ensure not being raped by all his fan girls. And since male anime characters are all gay, there´s no danger this way.Originally Posted by NeoCybercoin

"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
please...If it's a game about guns, there should be no reason to make it so unrealistic a swordsman would have a chance there.
its a game, you have stats, skills and superhuman-abilities. its not ARMA and most of all - It's an MMORPG
that aside, it was perfectly fine to run with melee perks and a knife+pistol in cock of doodies (FPShooter) too
and guess what Kirito is doing in the ED.
so how about you minimize that bullshitting unless something acutally worth shitting on happens, which will most likely happen sooner or later, so hold on until then
because of the problems she encounters in the ED.. that movement speed rivals a bullet trainWhy would anybody NOT choose to be a sniper in that game? lol
Its a very decent start for a second series, I've seen much worse. We havn't seen much of the game and its PvE and PvP elements so far, the setting is cool though. Let's just hope that the action and pacing is done right in this show

Appearing as a girl allows him to be undercover while still being recognisable to the audience as Kirito.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Either I'm missing something or you are being dense, you talk about Kirito using blades and the only time we see him doing that is during the ED and there were several fighting scenes showing why melee combat is relevant and that this game is not about realism. Its a GAME, the show is about a GAME, they could add shields, people have HP, weapons do DAMAGE and are not 100% lethal, they spec into AGI which increases your Evasion-ratingI wouldn't know since I've only seen this first episode, and the only "fight" we saw was a sniper sniping some careless dude.
its an MMORPG with *BUILDS*, there was a dude dual-wielding pistols.. its not counter-strike and its not battlefield, if perks and skills allow it, even a baseball bat is viable.. and during the ED, we've already seen why a blade can be useful too.On the other hand I'm not in the habit of playing games that try to emphasize gun fights but actually allow somebody to ace them with a blade. That would sound like a game that doesn't know what it wants to be and wouldn't make any serious people happy
you are totally off-track. And that part about it "being a game that doesn't know what it wants to be" is utter bollocks too.

They haven't even had a chance to explain anything about the game yet, why are people already angry at it?
Maybe if they had even explained anything about the game at all and people didn't like it, that would be reasonable. So far the only thing they've told us is that it is basically an MMORPG with guns.
If I wanted to hate on this episode, I would be talking about the nonsense discussion Kirito and Asuna have in the Imperial Garden.
"Aincrad is like a space-time plane" wtf? lol... I don't even know what they were going for here.
I was kind of shocked they got Kamiya Hiroshi to voice Zexsceed (sp?) and then offed him in the first few minutes!
Off topic, but Valvrave is done. Two cours and that's all there is.
I desperately wish there was an Accel World 2. That series proves the author know how to present some interesting ideas. The LNs aren't exactly well written, but I still like it more than SAO.
Wait what? There was never any conclusion? I know it's off-topic, sorry about that. I don't know how to move this conversation mid-conversation.
EDIT: ---------------------
Nevermind, apparantly I am an idiot. I forgot to watch the last episode LOL
I certainly liked accel world but I have no idea how you can like it more than SAO. The protagonist is a fat chumpy kid who probably qualifies as one of my least favorite characters of any show. There's also lack of any real storyline, and there were almost no scenes where I went "wow that was awesome". I think the only one was where fatty activated "Gale Thruster", and still that scene doesn't match up (at least for me personally) to the Kirito v. Heathcliff stadium dual or the Kirito v. Fire Lord sky battle

So I'm up to episode 11 now where they just decided to get married and get a house together on floor 22 or some such.
I'm going to assume that this is where the show starts going downhill? lol

It's hard to say. The definite point is where the 2nd VR game starts.

That's where it did for me.
Spoiler:
You just spoiled him with that comment.
Peace.
a) It's been two years.
b) He's in a thread where we're talking about the second season.
No sympathy from me. "Spoilers" about the episodes don't count after the episodes have aired and are even out on bluray. Gotwoot's rules have always been clear that once it is subbed it's fair game.
I'm not saying it's against the rules. I'm saying, please be nice and don't spoil. I know I would not like it.
Peace.
Hmm... just finished the last ep of SAO "season 1", and I'm not gonna lie, this did not turn out anywhere near as bad as i thought it would.
From what i had heard/read i was expecting this series to, at some point, take a nosedive down into complete crap, but to my surprise i actually enjoyed it all the way through.
A big part of that might be because i watched all of it over a relatively short timespan instead of just one episode per week, so that way the pacing and stuff was probably alot better in my experience.
Anyway, i was pleasantly surprised.

*shrug* I watched it all at once too and I liked it way more in the beginning.
Badass wanderer Kirito is way more interesting than papa Kirito.
A lot of people exaggerated when rating this because of the hype.
Peace.
Half of the suspense went away when "people didn't die if they are killed".
on top of that: the first half ended abruptly, pretty much at the point where things got interesting ( ~lvl 80 of 100?)...
SAO 2 Episode 2 - HS
- - - - -
I feel like I argued with LN readers when the first episode made me think the gun game was a proper game with tactics and a trace of realism, what with the interview show and only human players shown, plus the sniping scene, but then it turned out the game was an exceptionally simple shooter that doesn't even include fall damage.
This was fricking pitiful. The random monster obviously wasn't even meant to be fought with guns from a distance, it was probably some reskinned SAO thing. I guess that's realism in a sense; a lazy studio was cutting costs by not adapting the monster algorithms to a game with modern guns.
Things got so miserable when the PvP battle began that I wouldn't even want to comment on it. Anybody who thought the conclusion of Sinon jumping from the building and avoiding all the minigun bullets, then shooting the dude from midair was cool should jump themselves from a high place. Oh, well, I'm watching this show to bash it, so I guess it fulfilled the purpose splendidly.
Well fuck you too, friendo.
Maybe the XP penalty for dying is REALLY high.
I know I was scared shitless of dying back in Everquest once you got high level, because every death cost you, like, 4-6 hours of leveling to get back the XP you lost.
