[Anime] Sword Art Online II

Second season characters.

Gun Gale Online huh? Since they're focusing on a single arc this time, I hope the animation will be kick ass while sticking truthfully with the plot.

I was really hoping for a story involving a new cast and lead, mostly unassociated with the cast of the first season.

episode 1

I like the OP, but Sinon isn't using a MP7 :(

As much as I hated Aincrad and ALO, I'm willing to give this a shot only because of Shinon, also because Kazuto made me laugh really hard in the LN of this arc.


Also I'm gonna screenshot that "Jihad" scene so hard.

I'm pretty sure that's spoilers?

The LN must be REALLY damn good if it makes up for the agony that I endured in the latter parts of SAO season 1 and season 2. So I'll pick it up.

Watched episode one and curious to see where this goes. I enjoyed season one and two personally so season three shouldn't be too bad. Can't wait to see Kirito in the game fuefuefue (*w*)

They're really obscure statements you can't denote much from it, but I'll throw it in a spoiler anyways. The Jihad statement is strictly for the readers as I expect it won't happen until much much later.

The LN doesn't visibly display his disgusting obsession for Asuna rather it showed him as determined and dutiful. He still maintains his oblivious nature of the women around him, but he acts like more of an adult in the books. Not to mention Asuna is the WORST girlfriend in my eyes compared to Shinon who literally may be the only reason I'm considering watching this.

But yes, the LNs are VERY much worth it, unfortunately since Yen Press licensed it for the US translation, it's been releasing one book per 4 months, Book 3 will be released in December this year, meaning you won't be able to catch up for about 3 years if you wait for English LNs to drop since all fansubs got taken down, but if you'd like them(Or anyone else for that matter!) I do have the first 10 books stashed away!

Nothing is happening, it's literally been wank for the last few episodes. Character setting is fine but I think they took too long this episode to sell the new character.

well wait till it is done to watch

MAAAAHHHH SHIIIIIINNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

My enjoyment of the SAO LNs was entirely based in the GGO arc and even then I lost all motivation to continue with the series afterward. I just don't like how it crops up batch after batch of characters and tosses them aside like used tissue paper after they've had their show, all while Kirito fools around with female-leads despite marrying and having sex with Asuna. I don't think it was good, the ideas were there especially during the original SAO arc but I honestly didn't enjoy it. Sorry.

[size=10]Shit anime with shit characters and a shit plot with guns but good animation.[/h]

[color=#ff69b4]Episode 2
[spoil][color=#ff69b4]A full episode about Shino and showing how amazing she is. That last fight with the guy with minigun was so fucking good. Also, I fucking love her voice Actor.

Really? I think they could've shrunk that episode to half its length and squeeze something else in. It's totally unnecessarily long.

Yes! I don't think showing that scene where Shinon earned Hecate and the ALO raid was necessary and they should've capitalized more on hinting at her motivation to play GGO during the Behemoth scene rather than minor details.

[color=#ff69b4]Well, if i recall right from the LN they don't get into why shes playing GGO for a good bit anyways so I think hinting at it in episode 2 when have been odd.

And, yes, showing her getting Hecate was not really needed.

The first season wasn't very good. I'm probably not going to watch this unless someone gives me a reason to. I've heard that it's amazing but I just didn't enjoy it.

Getting somewhere now.
