Night Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I completely forgot about this anime it seems, the last episode I watched was probably 5 or 6, but I think I got the gist of it merely from the gifs in LZ's signature.

Wonder why they changed it to purple and orange. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flinsbon Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I didn't like any of the .hack series' but this is really good. 1 question tho and idk if anyone has the answer [spoiler=question with spoilers] What is the reason Asuna and Kirigaya (question is mostly about Asuna) are alive after kirito beat heathcliff in-game? My only theory is that, as was revealed with the revival stone, people who die in-game are not actually killed irl for about 10 seconds. Thus, Kirito must have defeated heathcliff within 10 seconds of Asuna dying in-game, which saved her life because the nervegear did not receive the kill command before the game ended (and thus, did not receive the command at all). Is this correct? Is this result meant to be unclear? I don't read the light novels or anything, just watch the anime. (I'm also caught up to episode 21 so feel free to say anything about the anime.)

Legend Zero Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I can't remember if they said, but I believe escaping death was the prize they got for beating the game. Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmn_l-N1oXA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 [spoiler Preview (contains more spoilers than last weeks)] http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=FxLK_dm190o Yui was able to sense it, Asuna’s “Player ID”. It was more than enough to know that Asuna was trapped on top of the World Tree. I flew directly up the World Tree without a single moment of hesitation but at the very last stretch the system barrier, without fail, prevented me from passing through. Next Episode, Sword Art Online Episode 22, GRAND QUEST. [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicο Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Awesome Silver Crow and Black Lotus swords. Why am I literally crying right now? I even watched another anime episode after this... Also, I finished the volume of LN I was going to finish, but haven't gotten around to SAO yet like I was going to.

King of Games Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 This is one of the best eps of the new season. Good action, Kirito not actually breezing through a fight, Not to mention, it handles the reveal and fallout of _____ well. Also no awkardly placed attempted tentacle rape is a plus.

Phantom Roxas Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Kirito needs to use that Silver Crow sword somehow. I don't care how he does it, it just needs to happen. Am I the only one who was legitimately impressed by the animation during Suguha's confession? It was fantastic, and is probably one of the best sequences in the show because of how well it was animated, and it makes up for how Kirito's face was during the earlier parts. Was the statue on the right Jurota Kosugi? Because if so, ERMAGHERD DERKNERGHTMAHN. Here's hoping these next three episodes wrap things up nicely.

Legend Zero Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Since the final episode is called "The World Seed", we can expect it to wrap things up nicely. Honestly, for being the worst arc plot-wise, ALO does have the best ending imo. You can expect a lot of action in the next 2 episodes, at least. Also, the last episode will show us if they set up for a second season or not. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
