Wow, this degraded so quickly.
Peace.
would rewatch the Pale-Rider part anytime, I still feel very bad for him, he did nothing wrong. In fact his death was pretty dramatic if you ask me. He even went up ready to kill Death Gun in an instant just to find his heart "explode" and die in RL. One of the coolest "No-Name Character" I've seen so far, maximum badassery.Originally Posted by lelouch
Would rewatch most of Death Gun's scenes too.
The only part worth rewatching in ALO was the fight against the Salamander Lord.
So its pretty even, however GGO has a more likeable setting imho

Sinon's Ass beats both Mary Sue and Pseudo Incest.
Peace.
Too bad the ass is attached to an emo bitch.
GGO could use more Yui. She's a funny a character.
She was obnoxious in the SAO arc...but she grew on me in the Alfheim arc.
She would be a vast improvement to the forced melodrama here. If anyone needed a psychoanalysis AI right now, it is Sinon.
One word. Emodere.
Peace.
This episode was so bad, I´m a bit speechless. Did she reeeeally propose to Kirito? Wow. Just ... wow. Dat harem-power, eh?
No log-out option is utterly unbelievable. It´s not even bad, it´s simply unbelievable and makes no sense. In a post-SAO world, it wouldn´t be allowed to grey out that function. And even without the whole "die in-game, die irl", it makes no sense for reasons already mentioned (your house burning or whatever). This is such a huge oversight that the author really must have thought "fuck it, I need this to be like this, because otherwise the rest of that scene wouldn´t make sense". No effort in story-telling at all.
In general, this anime is so full of itself. Arrogance and pretense reeking everywhere. You can just feel how the immense popularity of the first two seasons have gotten to the producers of the show. They think they´re all that, when they´re not.
No.
While there was no fear of real death in the second arc, they made it a point how "death" would come with different forms of punishment. Like when Kirito and Leafa tried to reach another place and dying would have meant that they´d be teleported back to the last town where they started. That´s a tangible danger. Much more so than a so-called death gun that, as we´ve been shown in episode 1, could kill anybody just by pointing it at a tv-image of that victim. The whole thing of Death Gun going through the trouble of participating the tournament is forced, contrieved bullshit. He could simply watch the tournament from the outside, point at one of the many screens showing the various participants and kill them without them even realizing what´s going on. Since Death Gun therefore nothing but "plays" around, fools around, this isn´t exciting.
There´s exactly two exactly two explanations for his behavior: Either he´s god-like and knows that he cannot lose, OR he´s a super-dumb idiot. From what we´ve seen, the latter is more likely, but even if it´s the first one: NEITHER option makes this exciting to follow. Knowing that whatever happens can only happen because the enemy chose for it to be possible to happen. Boring.
EDIT:
Also wtf @the above postings!
Pseudo Incest > Emo bitch > edgy piece of rock > Asuna
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
If it turns out that Kirito somehow gets rid of Death Gun just by simply beating him in game, this is definitely going to be a Gundam Seed situation where you stop watching after the first series and avoid the sequel like the plague.
This can be explained by the company being shady, overseas etc.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
That's not what she was doing at all. Kirito is trying to tell her not to go fight and die while she is saying that she needs to do that to move past herself or else she'll be worthless as a human being. If he isn't going to let her go, he would need to protect her for the rest of her life because she wouldn't be able to do anything herself.
I don't think there are any romantic feelings in this conversation at all. Shino is trying to deal with her trauma and Kirito is butting in with how she wants to deal with it. She can't accept that someone wants to be friends with her and help her through it.
Death Gun is playing in the tournament for 2 apparent reasons:
1) He wants to kill the best players
2) He wants to show how he is better than everybody else and strike fear into their hearts - he basically said as much in ep 1
He's already lived through a death game and probably murdered people directly with his sword as part of Laughing Coffin.
He tried sitting back and killing someone through a TV. Then, he stepped it up and killed the next guy in-game (I think Kikuoka explained the rumor was that DG came and killed some squad and executed some guy). Neither of these got him very much attention other than some forum posts and it probably wasn't very exciting for him either.
Since that wasn't good enough for him, what is the next level? Doing it in a live tournament and killing multiple people.
If people just start dying in the game, people are going to attribute it to the game or the VR gear or over-gaming. That's doesn't seem like what Death Gun wants at all. Maybe he would do that if he was Kira from Death Note or something and thought all gamers were evil, but that isn't the case.
EDIT:
Regarding no logging out, the only thing I can think of would be to prevent users from logging out and collaborating with people who are in the tournament. I don't know how you would do that, though... It is pretty contrived.
Though honestly, neither Kirito nor Sinon really wants to log out.
Kirito wants to stop Death Gun (and is fairly sure he is safe in a hospital) and Sinon wants to overcome her trauma and doesn't care if she dies.

Horriblesubs Episode 11
Well... this was a terrible episode, worst of the season by far. Boring as fuck.
Nah last episode was the worst of the season because literally nothing useful happened, the series could have gone on fine without it. At least this episode we found out how the killings happen. Although still very boring.
Fuuuuuuuuck! What even is this?!
You're crazy. At least the last episode had an action scene at the beginning.
This one had absolutely nothing.
If Kirito's actually right, the explanation ended up being super banal and boring.
Sinon Ass Online.
Peace.
I just hope this arc will be over soon. Absolutely hate GGO :/
The "twist" was so stupid, and the author probably doesnt even realize how he suddenly changed the whole genre of this show. Some creepy guy standing next to sleeping Sinon while she´s awake in-game and knows about it? That´s a horror-anime now. lol. Totally introduces the Bedroom Visitor-myth.
Of course, all of it is bs. So they´re finding out user information by, lol, standing behind them invisibly, and then some other guy drives around all over Japan to use his superior pick locking-skills and enters players´ house to inject them stuff? While wearing a death gun-costume. Awww lord ...
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
Favorite parts of the episode:
1) "Now, don't freak out, but there's this guy standing at your bedside right now with a syringe."
2) The numerous cuts to Sinon's butt to try to spice up the explanations. I particularly liked the one where Kirito looks at it and then Sinon looks up at him and he smoothly redirects his gaze back to her face while continuing his explanation.
Mfauli, the murderer wouldn't actually be wearing a Death Gun costume, lol. That was just a visual representation based on Kirito's explanation.
i thought that, too, but then ... this is SAO :/
"She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court
I think the bigger problem would be Kirito miraculously resolving the mystery with nearly 100% speculation and almost no real evidence to back it up.
"He's actually doing the cross to secretly check on his watch that I don't know that he even wears about the improbably convenient pre-arranged time!"
instead of
"He's using the cross as a signal to his partner who is watching the streamed feed from a cellphone in the real world to start the injection."
The only one that I can actually accept is the inspiration that there are two people involved in "Deathgun" because Kirito thought from the beginning that it was impossible to kill someone from within the game with amusphere tech.
Kirito is also able to give Deathgun a full psych profile because he's not only the best gamer in the world, he's the best detective and a qualified psychoanalyst. It's such a shame the author doesn't ever pull back on the Gary Stu bullshit when we know he can write significantly better than this (Accel World).
And why the hell is Kikuoka playing other games instead of keeping an eye on the tournament?
The fanservice was indeed a pathetic attempt to spice up a horribly boring episode.

Props to Sinon's character design. I'm convinced Kirito gets inspiration from looking at her ass. Too bad her nendoroid has weird arms.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
