King of Games Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Gleam-eyes was cool and all but the best part of the episode happened directly after he changed back. SAO teaches you to make friends with people instead of snapping their tiny heads off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTW (For The Wynn) Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Yeah, I know what you mean. Hiroaki Hirata is one of my favorite seiyuu ever. One of the reasons I love Klein's character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expelsword Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Klein was badass, man. I dunno how, but he managed to not die. I think it would have been a fantastic callback if [spoiler='Spoilers for the end of SAO']He used the ressurection stone on Kirito and Kayabe got blindsided.

Legend Zero Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 To my knowledge, Klien appears at the end of ALO, makes an appearance in GGO, a bigger role in an OVA-esque short story, gets screentime/fight scene in Mother's Rosario, and so far nothing in Alicization.

FTW (For The Wynn) Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 It's mostly Kirito getting sucked into these games for various reasons. Starting with the next story arc (Gun Gale Online), we start to find out how things have changed in reality over the 2 years that people were trapped in SAO.

[/quote] It would be kind of nice if they could sometime just go into a game without having a reason (besides SAO of course, as long as they didn't actually have a reason and were just forced to play, just going by what I'd know as an anime watcher), and have that game also be interesting, but I know SAO would never do that, I think... I imagine they might do something like that as an OVA similar to what Accel World (even though that kind of did have a reason) did, maybe. But it is a different studio so I can't be too certain of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give you an overview of what happens, but I'd rather not go too far into it. Short story is that it is basically a feature on Asuna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Roxas Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 That last sequence made me happy. With this whole subplot involving the Salamanders, I was worried we would get distracted by the main focus, but thankfully, it seems like we're done with the Salamanders, at least with as much focus as we've had so far, and now we're heading to the main part of the arc. Aren't we only halfway through the arc, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expelsword Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 The thing that bugs me is Kirito's weapon choice. Why on earth would he choose such a huge sword that's nothing like Elucidator, and apparently is low level, when he has zillions upon zillions of coins? If he was eventually going to go back to two swords, why didn't he buy two good ones that would compliment eachother. huge BFS and thin straight sword don't mix well.

[/quote] He likes swords that weight a lot. If ALO is like most MMOs I've played then Kirito probably got his equipment from NPCs, instead of using the market system (if there is one) to buy good drops from other players.

Phantom Roxas Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Do weapons even have stats in this game? If Eugene is anything to go on, weapons at the very least have special abilities and skill level requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTW (For The Wynn) Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 If ALO goes by the same rules as SAO, then yes, weapons do have stats. However, in Kirito's case, he seems to disregard stats anyway by just being a natural in-game powerhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
