Brutally realistic MMORPG anime Sword Art Online looks to have retained its positive reception – the 2nd outing delivers plenty of action, plot, high production values and even a cute girl, though Chinese gold farmers are still strangely absent…

Asuna likes Kirito's cream.
Nah, the thing she's really into is his sword.
She seems to be an expert on wielding that sharp and pointy object.
His DUAL sword stance if u know what i mean..
Duh, she likes his hyper weapon.
I don't quite like Asuna's edsign, sadly.
Scilica is fine, but not exactly very relevant.
It's a trap!
No, It's not.
Kirito's being a boss as always.
I just hope they won't rush this cause ep2 felt a bit rushed.
RMT is only absent because the sale was limited to 10,000 copies.
This will be an awesome series, already can't wait for ep3.
Likely a few got in, but those are also likely to be part of the 2000+ who died between the two episodes...
Since it's unlikely the gold farming companies will look after their real world bodies, which most likely starved to death...
Plus there's the possibility that they tried to remove the gear so that the next "shift" could work on the account, leading to the first farmer ending up with a fried brain, and with the account locked.
From the point of view of who's in the game is.
Perhaps the real situation will be shown at the end, since it was not shown to us the vision of the reality of dead players. And time in virtual reality does not follow the real time?! Just a guess .
Why shouldn't the time be the same? It's not like they can think faster in the VR.
But in history is not just a 3D glasses are using brain waves, and server computers must be much quicker to anticipate the scenario. In the case we are not limited to movements of the body but stuck to the limits imposed by the program, so is possible for the program, over or under clock. You never been playing for several hours, and when looked on the clock and you do not believe it was so long? Why the reverse is not possible? I not read manga or other reviews to avoid spoilers, so as I said guess
Exactly.
Unlike in Accel World when they do a Physical Burst, which increases their actual physical movements by 10 times faster.
Very likely since farmers need to die and respawn a lot. xD
Well Duh. The manga had girls and you could see girls in the last ep after they changed.
In the manga Asuna leads a small guild of sorts and he falls in love with her.
Shes not the leader but SubLeader
and that happens a bit later in the timeline
...and that "small guild" is actally the strongest guild in SAO universe.
manga huh, Noob. LN better
And now I got spoilers... thats ok, mow I have the chance to say a saw it ¬¬
that reminds me, .hack needs a reboot
Not a reboot just a sequel, the world R:3 or something on those lines...
or an adaption of the original 4 games, sicne those are really hard to get now...
an adaption of the PS2 games would be awesome.
i was talkign about those.
It doesn't just have girls, it has sex too. The only problem is that the anime is not a hentai, and all you losers won't get to see the over-elaborate scenes of intimacy between the two main characters.
why are white people always so condescending?
why does it sound like someone's being condescending when they're calling someone condescending?
I'm awesome
And you're not condescending maybe?
heh. I'd love to have chapter 16.5 animated as an ONA later on or something. not gonna happen though.
Uhm... Yes we can. We just view the manga and tadaa, you're a loser for being stupid.
How is this a surprise even if you didn't read the original material? She was in the ED of the first episode.
And the OP of the second episode. And all the promotional material for the show.
Way to butcher the best side story.
no, this episode is actually good.
i thought the 2nd episode = the first sword-quest(vol 8).
we usually get 1:4 for volumes and episodes. Each of the short stories are naturally only going to be one episode.
They used the 'beater' half of the side-story. You'll have for your fluff.
So the whole deal was about ensuring us that this attractive nubile girl REALLY is an attractive nubile girl because the bad guy already did away with avatars that don't look like their users?
LAME.
Nah the whole deal was the creator wanted to play god in a virtual world he created and thus decided to strip everyone of their "masks".
yuriphoria is right, he means the creater of the manga, not the fictional intent of the antagonist.
To clarify. I come to sankaku for the moe moe girlies. I live offf of fantasy. All these 2D girls, all my waifu, Nerine, Tamanee, Lynette, etc... are all drawings designed by some guy, animated by a bunch of people and voiced by a woman who is nowhere as cute as the girl she interprets. Specially since my favorite seiyuu are well past their fresh date.
Even then, they speak with a feign voice, repeating lines written by almost assuredly another guy.
The level of indirection and artificialness hardly could get any further.
Do you think I give a flying fuck if Asuna -a fictitious virtual avatar- could potentially be -fictionally- played by some fictitious male player?
there are no cute girl who play video games.
the girls here are cross dressing boys.
all the "girls" in the game have flat chests now don't they..
girls* why won't sankaku let me edit!
not really. and Asuna tried the game out cuz her brother bought it but didnt have time to play on the starting day so she did so instead, and got trapped in the game.
see I didn't know that. my point has been made.
Not really Taylor, you were the same one who assumed that Asuna would be useless in a fight and just hold Kirito back, during the last blog post about this series.
(Same anon here, who subsequently pointed out to you that she was nearly as good as he was, and that the two of them would end up being a close to unbeatable team.)
Other females in the series who played this game and were/or would become gamers:
Sachi, you'll learn more about her in the next episode, so I'm not going to write a lot about her.
Lisbeth, one of Asuna's friends and who ended up becoming Kirito's personal blacksmith.
Silica, first seen in episode one in the crowd scene. SAO was her first MMO, but not her last, she's also one of the youngest players in the game.
And in the subsequent games Alfheim Online and Gun Gale Online that Kirito plays he encounters a few other skilled and cute female players.
Yuuki Konno, who actually beat him in a duel in ALO, and Kirito himself admitted that her reaction speed was far quicker than his and that her feel for the VR world was better than his own.
And then there's Shino Asada, one of the deadliest snipers in GGO. And when she transferred over to ALO, she ended up becoming an archer capable of hitting her target from double the normal range. Meaning that if a bow would normally only allow a player to hit a foe from 100 feet away, she can hit it from 200 feet.
Heck, his own cousin/adopted sister Suguha Kirigaya ends up becoming a player of ALO, and is considered the strongest warrior of her chosen race, the Sylphs. (Doesn't hurt that she's a national level Kendo practitioner.)
The "harem" he builds around himself, is big enough that they don't need any outsiders to form a party, and they're all veterans and skilled players.
And even in RL, I've known a number of female gamers. And yes, I've seen pictures of them (holiday ones). Not always my type, but they do qualify for the cute category.
Then again, I don't game to look for ladies, I game to have fun. And if I discover that a player is actually female, I don't treat them any different from how I've been treating them before. Might be one of the reasons why they tend to feel more at ease around me. *shrugs*
ok anon if you can link me to even just two cute female gamers you know and talk to regularly who enjoy your company I'll retract my statement. Just two. I won't even say anything to them. I was kind of not really serious about the crossdressing thing I'm sure in anime there are cute female gamers, but in anime everything is amazing, all the girls are cute and have amazing personalities. Keep in mind how different this is to real life. So if there are cute amazing girl gamers in anime that proves by itself it doesn't exist in reality.
Asuna is a girl with boobs. She plays SAO, she has sex with Kirito, she dates Kirito in the real world few volumes later on.
Cute girls play games in rl. I know several, mainly from Europe.
You're a loser, bwahahahahaha.
I know a few girls play online games (FPS or OPRG) but all of them have boy friends... so I hate to admit there are girls online so that I can feel better. Please don't tell me the truth. :(
Well thanks for spoiling the whole thing. Thanks a lot Taylor for provoking someone to spoil the whole thing. Really. Thanks.A.Fucking.Lot.
Yes, he should have spoilered it, but in his defense, Asuna was in like half the scenes of the OP, often alongside Kirito. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Asuna x Kirito is the canon OTP.
OTP = One True Pairing?
Am I right?
^_^
00:30 Anon.
Yup, correct translation of the acronym.
Although this may be a side effect/consequence of..
Well, that would kind of be spoiling episode 3..
So I think I'll stop right there. ;)
hahaha I made it to the very last comment downvoting lol. wow how many people did I butthurt haha. I wonder how many were non cute girls who play games and how many were lonely guys still holding out hopes for cute girls who play games they will one day meet and get to fall in love with them lol! Sorry cute girls don't play video games get over it. The one or two that do will have a terrible personality or be so stuck up and full of themselves with a "im a cute tomboy girl that likes gaming so obviously all guys like me" mentality they wouldn't date any of you luzertypes anyway or lie and say they have boyfriends when they dont so why are you defending them lol. and if you don't know how to stop reading a spoiler then thats your own fault, don't blame for for people who get their feelings hurt so bad they go on a spoiling for everyone rampage lol.
Five Stages Of Grief
1. Denial and Isolation.
2. Anger.
3. Bargaining.
4. Depression.
5. Acceptance
No cute girls play video games. Get to acceptance already people.
Also no cute girls will love alll the anime that you're into, may as well break that to you too. I can go on lol.
