    The moment someone actually beat Kirito in a game already meant that they were destined for death.

    Dunno. It seems to me he doesn't care about playing the game nearly as much anymore as he used to. Maybe he was even happy Asuna went so gung-ho for the Sleeping Knights and thus he didn't need to spend so much time loitering around in VR with her. Instead he could concentrate on making Yui the RL interface, which is excellent practice for his planned future career, clearly.

    Kirito does and says all the right things at all the right times. What a boss.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    The progression of drugs the author took while making this series:

    SAO: LSD - great idea and epiphany, why we all started this series
    ALO: Cocaine - Take my last idea, supercharge it, and give it fucking wings!
    GGO: Bath Salts - clearly some fucked up shit is going on in there
    Whatever this is: just a shit ton of weed and masturbation

    Episode 23 - HS




    - - - - -





    Hmm... I didn't hate this episode. I even thought at some point that this pulled it off better than many other shows would have. I reckon one reason is that this ep didn't try to achieve anything too grand and Kirito wasn't there to laughably solve everything by himself, where everybody else had failed. I can't help but feel the festering situation with Asuna's mom was solved too smoothly and quickly. On the other hand, it might have been exactly the kind of communication block that didn't need so much as long as both parties were willing to listen to the other. The VR visit felt goofy, but it did reveal the mom wasn't as unreasonable and stiff as she had appeared, and the VR certainly did offer an informal setting where they could even break the ice by joking about their weights. There was still a human behind the businesswoman guise, and she only needed to be reminded of what's important in life. Now Asuna only needs to get Kirito accepted...

    Seriously, what the fuck am I watching? How can a series change so drastically from what it started with? Finally figured out the name of this arc - SOLO: Slice of Life Online.

    So is Yuuki dead?

    Yeah, this episode was all about the feels. It was boring, but I don't really regret watching it.

    I don't know why she would be. She's just going to die the next time she gets an infection. It wasn't like she had a day left to live.

    The best episode we've had for quite some time.

    Interesting that Yuuki warned Asuna about Kirito - that the guy lives outside of reality in a different way that she does. Is that forewarning that Kirito is going to develop real-dive technology to the point where he just lives inside it? Is this pointing to an upcoming divorce?!!

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    Agreed.

    At this point, my favorite procession for this anime´s story would be a re-visit of the Aincard arc. Have Kirito and Co. trapped inside the amusphere again, and again, dying ingame means dying irl. However, raise the stakes and make it all more difficult, more gruesome, scarier. Throw them into an unkown online-world, where even Kirito has to start from zero, no stat transfers. To add on top, opposed to last time where "only" the few "lucky" buyers got to play Aincrad, have EVERY amusphere user be trapped inside, meaning hundreds of thousands of victims. Have some important deaths occurs.
    And at the end, there could be a twist ending, either Kirito realizing that vr isnt safe anymore, or him deciding to stay ingame forever. Watever.

    Just give me something exciting. No slice of life pseudo-drama. No more hilarious rape-stories. Give me what made me love the series in the beginning.

    "She's the only non-loli girl in the show, your honor!" will be my defense in court

    I'm seeing SAO as a transition to Accel World, be it really the case or not.

    More like he has a vision of fusing reality and virtual reality. That's the kind of technology he's busy developing, after all. If you think about it, of late Kirito hasn't been as eager to linger in VR as Asuna, for example. I said as much before: That Kirito might not mind Asuna spending a lot of time with Yuuki since it leaves more time for Kirito to develop the technology (and he's not doing that in VR).

    But why warn about that? The way you put it makes Kirito sound like any other person who is passionate about their job.

    Yuuki is forced to live in VR. Maybe that gives her a different perspective to its usefulness or rather the dangers it might pose. Hmm... Like you said yourself, the technology Kirito is developing would allow a person spend even more time in VR while still being able to access the RL to deal with some issues there. Yuuki might not see that as a good thing since she hasn't got a choice.

    Because Kirito will create the Burst Link program, fusing together the two worlds and creating all sorts of shenanigan problems.
