Just Crouton Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I hate when first episodes are just talking, then ends with a promise that something interesting happens next week. Nothing to get hooked on, unless boredom is a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunn O))) Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Twas a boring episode. Since I watched, I'll have to finish the whole thing, which is really sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I'll only watch if this show puts Kirito in the role of girl stuck in the castle while some other character fulfills their main power fantasy. And then two characters should get into a relationship out of nowhere that everyone else in the show feels goes too fast and it breaks down quickly because they didn't think it through. And then everyone should get too tired to get to their final goal because zero shortcuts show up to beat the game faster. And then they'll keep trolling people looking for fanservice by getting into obvious situations, but then only doing fanservice for girls. Also everyone should find Kirito disgusting. But since that perfectly self-aware criticism isn't going to happen... No. Though tbf, I may do what I did with the rest of the show and just write down everything I thought as I went through each episode. It's usually fun to basically MST3000 shows like that.

The Amazing Avian Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Only reason I was really looking forward to it is because GGO was the best arc in the light novels and I thought the animation in the first series was pretty well done, so it'd be cool to see Jedi Kirito in action. As a whole though, I thought it was a pretty "eh" anime that just couldn't live up to the hype that preceded it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desu the Blue Nerd Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Yeah, this first episode wasn't very good. Some would say it sort of sucked. I would agree. Though tbf, I may do what I did with the rest of the show and just write down everything I thought as I went through each episode. It's usually fun to basically MST3000 shows like that. That's pretty much what I did to Mako while he did that with Aldnoah.Zero. You can guess which one of us is going to sleep more peacefully tonight. Me because he actually has some hype built up.

Nicο Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I like how they're started this by changing a game instead of only introducing one. Especially considering the first one, SAO, was a completely new game. Didn't do it in a terribly interesting way, but there's still that. And sometimes Kirito's reactions when he's all awkward, but sometimes I laugh at things I don't think was intended either, and not in a good way... so this isn't good.

Fusion X. Denver Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Well that was a lot of exposition. Not the best start, but I'm thinking we're going to be getting SAO's best from this arc; I've also heard GGO is the best arc of the series. And I liked Arc 1 despite its flaws, so I should be good with GGO. Hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 That was so slow and boring. Not much improvement from the first two parts. And damn, Kirito and Asuna as a couple always pisses me off, their relationship is really weirdly executed. But the "new protagonists" deserve a shot, and if what people say is true and GGO is the best arc, then I'll continue watching to see if it gets any better.

mitchermitcher Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Haven't watched yet, but as long as trap!Kirito is hot I'm good. I don't expect much else, and I'm completely fine with that. Despite all the bullshit S1 had, it had its enjoyable parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion X. Denver Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Oh yeah, this is a really minor complaint, but I was hoping to see Kirito trying to adapt to GGO and climb his way up in skills by using guns. You know, like everyone else. But now he gets a lightsaber so he'll be able to enter in ass-whooping from the get-go :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desu the Blue Nerd Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 The vibe I got from the first episode was more so that it was extremely pretentious. The only self awareness SAO has is how popular it is. Seriously, remember that first scene with the villain and how he super hypes up his pistol. The super basic looking pistol. Called Death Gun. Yes, the really dumb name for an unimpressive looking pistol. AND THEN FADE INTO THE TITLE SCREEN. YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. YOU'RE WATCHING SWORD ART ONLINE SEASON 2. QUE SAD SOUNDING MUSIC. THERE'S ASUNA. STILL PLAYING SAD SOUNDING MUSIC. WHAT'S ASUNA DOING? CHECKING HER PHONE. WHY? WELL PROBABLY BECAUSE SHE'S WAITING FOR KIRITO. WHY THIS MUSIC? SHUT UP, YOU'RE WATCHING SWORD ART ONLINE II. WE ESTABLISHED THAT ALREADY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 INTRODUCE MAIN ANTAGONIST. Love scene. FLASHBACK TO PART WHERE MAIN CHARACTER IS TOLD TO GET MAIN ANTAGONIST. Same love scene. NEXT TIME ON SAO. WILL MAIN CHARACTER GET MAIN ANTAGONIST? WAIT 24 MORE EPISODES TO FIND OUT. Also, more love scenes... and probably death, but the love scenes are more important.
