Barely had the conclusion to Sword Art Online aired than fans were baying for the second season – though perhaps more thanks to the overall quality of the series than the quality of the finale, which seems to have been treated more as a prelude to the adaptation of the rest of the novels…
Some complaints have been voiced about there being a sappy real fight at the end instead of another thrilling high level zergfest as with the penultimate episode – perhaps amply illustrating the type of fan the show is so adept at attracting:
Though the TV anime may have stopped for now, the vast flood of exceedingly popular fan artwork the show has inspired seems unlikely to stop any time soon:
Reading these comments in 2017 is priceless.
Anyone else laughed when Aincrad popped out of nowhere in ALO? I swear I was hearing Jaws theme playing in my head when Aincrad drifted into view.
Never read the Light Novels, and I don’t need to. I know there is the Gun Gale Online Storyline, but as for the Anime, I think Sword Art Online/Alfheim Online storylines ended pretty well than most anime does nowadays.
Hopefully when they release sword art online that they do it in Blu-Ray/DVD Combo of 5 or 6 sets than 2 set collections or 1 complete collection. I rather it be in a Madoka Magica L.E. part 1 – 3 collections where it was affordable.

something seems to be shadowing the girl’s face, the shadow seems to have 2 pair of wings.
Could it be a clue about somthing in the future?
A skinny 17-year-old stops a much larger adult with one hand when he comes down on him, right.. Kirito should be dead.
Please, don’t make any sequels for this piece of turd.
knowing it AI-pictures, expect a surprise S2 soon.
xi querems 2 parte
More Silica, more… @_@
pic 018 is just not right…..
how come a person that sleeping for 2 years + can still be so fat?
Overall a good show, not the best but it was good entertainment. Good animation and character design. I hope for a season 2. I think people were expecting too much of it. I’d rate it a 8/10.
We have to enjoy it while we can. Soon we will have to pretend to hate it because it’s getting dubbed and every asshole with a cartoon network subscription will be wearing ironic t-shirts and cosplaying in black long coats.
Don’t worry, the next season where Kirito turns into a ladyboy will be worse.
Anyone else wonder why Kirito looks like shit when he came out of SAO, but Asuna looks fine as hell when she came through?
You didn’t see the fat guy up there in the patient’s gown?
That fat guy was visiting the guy who looked like crap.
As for Asuna, they just didn’t want to make her look ugly, I guess.
Asuna comes from a filthy rich family and got first class treatment.
This includes regular electrical muscle stimulation, a massage mattress and lots of other bullshit.
Kirito got the basic version of that, too, which is why he was able to move at all after waking up, but not quite on the scale Asuna did.
3rd Class treatment compared with VIP treatment.. (^^)
asuna looks like a sub account character lol
its good that crapy moe anime inspire naughty high cuality doujinshi, i hope ishikei draws a SAO doujin.
SAO is just an average anime.
Let’s talk about something with quality, like To love-ru darkness.
Boobs quality you mean.
I think both of those series are fantastic.
No taste.
Season 2 will be in 2014
But the world will have ended by then!
Oh, wait, nevermind.
I’m pretty sure Kirito mouthed “I love you both. After this, lets have a threesome” at the end of the show.
:p
series was far from perfect. Lots of pacing and flow issues. But it wasn’t as bad as the haters made it out to be.
Enjoyable ride for me.
Asuna, Leafa, Lizbeth, Silica, Sinon, that’s Sixsome for you!!
Forgot Alice.
Aww I thought they would do the gun chapter before ending.
Although this gives it a better chance of actually having a second season.
Yep I was hoping they would show us the preview of GGO with Sinon firing her Gun as a teaser..
Gun Gale…nuff said.
Season Two? When? C’mon, I seen the BD profits.
I’ve never kept up with the light novels or anything, I”m glad Sachi is back ;_;
Uh… she’s dead for good.
aaa really? back to play again after a hell in the MMO?
sadist or masochist?
If you had access to a game that feels real but you can fly and shit you’d probably play too, unless you are traumatized or something.
Lizbeth. HZZZZZZZZZZZG
atleast we are done in SAO, let’s wait to have Gun Gale Online and wait for Shino to appear. Hope the anime air by next year.
20 Years of anime and the newly love in anime-36 years in the neck
why in the hell does this piece of shit show get so much praise and attention? It is a badly written mess full of lame fan service and god awful characters! I mean really? Have the standards of so many people fallen so low in the last few years???
AARRRGH PEOPLE DON’T HATE WHAT I HATE! WHY DON’T THEY HATE WHAT I HATE!?!?!
Then which anime are good according to your taste? Please enlighten us
I’d call it an average quality show the kind you forget the name of after a few years and would say it was kinda like .hack but not as good.
So what anime you think it great? Vampire knight, k-on ,naruto or one piece?
Just because YOU didn’t enjoy watching doesn’t mean it crap to us ,do you understand that?
Oh, did I rustle your jimmies anon?
leave alone k-on!! it is not his fault that he is high on this drug!!after all k-on was made for losers like him 😛
k-on is a curse upon the world.
uh, I liked this show AND K-on, so let’s lay off the dissing other shows, kk?
Glad they did the real-life fight justice.
For any who don’t quite get it, here’s the gist: Kirito, since he’s spent so much time in the game grinding combat levels, has taken that all on as something near muscle memory. So he basically has max unarmed combat in real life due to the game.
Creepy dude decides to try and lolstab him. You can see from the images how well that works out for him.
After two years of atrophied muscle and a few months of rehabilitation using one hand to push off a fully grown man using his entire weight, on the verge of death and his final wish is to murder you?
It was very improbable but anime often is full of improbable things.
yes , totally
i’m also a red belt in judo from playing street figther an’ shit
Judo??? I would understand if you’ve said Karate, but Judo? Who in the hell in SF does Judo??? Tell me, because I saw boxing, karate, kung fu, sumo, muei tai, some random style, etc.
It’s completely different. Pressing buttons to execute fighting moves compared to pseudo fighting with your mind (controlling your avatar as if it’s yourself) would help create reflexes and build technique. It’s like saying flight simulations with life like equipment is useless.
20:32 anon: You do know that he held his own in a real life sword fight with Sugu who is a National-level Kendoka right?
In the Novel, it’s basically he learned all those moves online so he knows it in his brain, and when he woke up, he practiced it over and over again in his doujo so he could “emulate” those moves in real life.
You realize that “muscle memory” is still just burning in neural patterns, right? While he doesn’t have the same endurance or strength as the simulation, reflexes are almost purely neurological.
But it’s completely diferent
even if he knows the move , and is à expert in is mind , his body is one of à 17 years old geek
it shouldn’t be able to follow and exécute the move
knowing how to do something and doing it are two diferent thing
You should watch The Matrix, almost the same idea on the combat knowledge stuff
I’ve got a file called kungfu.bat, 233 kb
written in visual basic
looks legit should I run it?
:downloadingdownloading: “….I KNOW KUNG FU”
The other guy is a shitty wimp, Kirito is no fighter but he was fighting a dude on the verge of death, this was believable.
agreed, he’s also in a shitload of pain from getting dismembered and impaled. Also, Kirito’s had kendo training and is stated to have really good reflexes.
@Anon (6:33): Maybe you would if you had to do it using your whole body and actually performing the martial arts movements, instead of frantically moving your fingers.
Now you’re just forgetting the basic fundamentals of a VRMMO.
I thought Sword Art Online was full of improbable stuff.
unable to stab asuna (with his dick), sugou decided to stab kirito instead
Finally this shit ended. You are a bunch of idiots for wasting your time watching this.
Hopefully never.
oh… so it just ends
Wait, which “overall quality” are you talking about, i mean, isn’t just hype?
not really all just “hype”, those that faithfully followed the whole series despite what others said, are or have known about the novel series, and if the anime producers side deem that it made enough profits from the 1st dvd/bd sales, most likely season 2 will be in the works. as for the “quality” I think its been awhile since we’ve seen MMO style anime, and SAO’s story especially the first episode had many [including me] hooked. Hope everyone liked it, even though the finale was disappointing.
I think the whole story was disappointing. For an interesting premise of an MMO game story, we got pretty much a cliched fantasy anime story. They hardly took any depth with the MMO concept and without it, the story would have worked anyway: A damsel in distress. The first arc of the series at least had a little more MMO/game centric ideas, but the second arc was mostly just “save the princess” or family drama, neither of what I was looking into. The last episode here was actually the best from the second arc, just because they explained more what happened with the seed, the game world and it’s players (and not just Asuna and Kirito).
because sao have romance and fanservice that is why it get too popular.
I think .hack//sign did the whole MMO virtual world concept much better plot wise.
So why was Asuna not in the ending scene?
This is Asuna!

what did kirito say right after asuna’s undine char showed up?
He says Kayaba Akihiko.
“His lips moved, whispering a name, but she couldn’t hear it.” So the novel says. I always thought it would be “Kayaba Akihiko…” but the lip sync in the anime is way off for that. Looks more like “Kirigaya Kazuto” or “Sword Art Online” but not quite. It’s a mystery to me.
Yeah Baby…YEAH!!
We’ll bang, Ok!
You me and my cousin are gonna fuck tonight
Yes, She didn’t use her SAO account, and made a whole new ALO account as an Undine.
Needs more Shinon.
to say nothing of cowbell
Totally, They have her voice actress hired… from what I saw on ANN
If it’s really Sawashiro Miyuki like in the Drama CD, my dream has come true!
I just watched this episode to see Nobuyuki or that fairy king whatever get defeated by some kid both in that game and real life as well.
FUCK HIM!
KIRITO IS A LOSER AS MOST ARE WATCHING ANIME!
You jelly of Kirito? Hope not.
Yeah, why should we be jealous of Kirito, he has good looks, have a very beautiful and devoted wife (superb cooking skills no less), and have at least four beautiful girl of all kind drooling all over him……………………….. HEY WAIT!!
awww…..look at this poor fellow, how mad must he be?
you made him ever more mad 😉
GO FUCK YOURSELF AND DIE LOSER!
GGO the best.
Where is my Accel world s2?!
You are a bunch of losers that lose your time watching this garbage.
What the fuck does that make you? Oh yeah, obvious troll.
THOSE WHO DOWN VOTE ME ARE CURSED AND SHALL DIE SOON OF ANUS BLEEDING!
Look out, we got a badass over here.
need more imouto loli tsundere nekomimi tenshi mahou-shojo and uncencored.
