can we just watch another episode of Akame ga kill instead?

God I hate Sword Art Online.

 

[BassForever]

This isn't that bad.

Yeah, the worst part of this whole thing is that it's about Asuna and is set in the world of SAO

 

[Moaradin]

This isn't that bad.

Yeah. I feel like people really try to find things to make fun of in this show. I mean, it isn't lighting the world on fire right now. It's kinda boring, but nothing table flip worthy so far.

 

[Shard]

So that was some drama.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Asuna should use match.

 

[aspiegamer]

What the fuck did I just watch for 12 minutes?
Now I know how SAO could get worse. By no longer being SAO.

 

[grandjedi6]

She's not wrong about Kirito at least

 

[kewlmyc]

So what was the exact line that Asuna dropped on her mom that made her salty?

 

[skLaFarebear]

I wonder how the harem feels about this.

What if the mom is in the harem too?

 

[Grexeno]

So what was the exact line that Asuna dropped on her mom that made her salty?

Something along the lines of "You're just mad you were born not rich."

 

[Schadenfreude]

Yeah. I feel like people really try to find things to make fun of in this show. I mean, it isn't lighting the world on fire right now. It's kinda boring, but nothing table flip worthy so far.

It's just that this is supposedly the best arc of the second season and it's so generic. Like super duper generic.

 

[zedreamcast]

can we go back to norse mythology? Please? Pretty please?

This series is so much better when it doesnt try to be dramatic.

I wonder how the harem feels about this.

 

[BassForever]

So what was the exact line that Asuna dropped on her mom that made her salty?

That her mom is still salty over the fact that grandma and grandpa married each other for love and not for money so Asuna's mom grew up a dirty poor

 

[Zonic]

Watch as Asuda's mom will play the MMO & realize how wrong she was & that Kirito is totally worthy of marrying her daughter & ;hoduhipuhdiphk;hk;hjdkh whatever freakin' happens is going to be stupid as hell.

 

[Man God]

The mom is Klein.

 

[Mizerman]

Yeah. I feel like people really try to find things to make fun of in this show. I mean, it isn't lighting the world on fire right now. It's kinda boring, but nothing table flip worthy so far.

That's not really something to brag about though, considering that this is SAO.

I mean, it's not on the tier of tentacles and rape, but faint praise is still bottom tier.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

What if the mom is in the harem too?

Mom doing this because she secretly wants Kirito to herself?

That explains everything!

 

[Imperial Bishop]

This isn't that bad.

But are we supposed to care about Asuna's problems?

 

[Crocodile]

I think this is one of the many instances in SAO where the idea and concept are sound but the execution is lacking. Picking such a well worn cliche also means you have to bring your A game to set yourself apart and SAO has no A game.

 

[UltraGunner]

They wasted too much time before developing Asuna, and their attempt to do so is hackneyed at best

 

[Soulflarz]

Yeah. I feel like people really try to find things to make fun of in this show. I mean, it isn't lighting the world on fire right now. It's kinda boring, but nothing table flip worthy so far.

The true purpose of a hate watch.

The mother is stupid. That comes with a stupid show. zzz moerso than "OH MY GOD THIS IS IMPACTFUL" since the chance of this changing anything is next to zero, it's a show that focuses on Kirito.

 

[Moaradin]

It's just that this is supposedly the best arc of the second season and it's so generic. Like super duper generic.

Well it barely started. Shippuden is also in the best arc of the series but it only just recently started picking up.

I feel like if this was any other show, most of it would be getting a free pass right now.

 

[BassForever]

Compared to everything else this IS the best arc

 

[mightynine]

Mom doing this because she secretly wants Kirito to herself?

That explains everything!

Well, she did research him - maybe she realized "I gotta get me some of dat"

 

[Imperial Bishop]

What if the mom is in the harem too?

"Now that my daughter is arranged to marry some wealthy loser, I can have Kirito's virtual dick all to myself!"

 

[ckohler]

Yeah. I feel like people really try to find things to make fun of in this show. I mean, it isn't lighting the world on fire right now. It's kinda boring, but nothing table flip worthy so far.

The cold, unfeeling mother is so cliche, though.

 

[Shard]

This is bad because we don't care about any of this because Asuna has become so diminished as a character and her Mom is kind of right about some shit.

 

[Soulflarz]

Compared to everything else this IS the best arc

.

 

[Man God]

Where's Yui?!?

 

[Seda]

I feel like the general conflict between what a parent wants and what their child wants is a fair one to explore, although it's played up quite a bit here which makes it less believable than it could be. However, this feels like a weird sudden drama to bring up at this point though in SAO. Also is Kirito going to be the one to save Asuna from her family issues?

 

[Regiruler]

bunny wabbit

 

[BatDan]

The rabbit's kind of cute.
SEE, I'M BEING NICE!

 

[kewlmyc]

I just can't get used to blue hair Asuna.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Where's Yui?!?

Daughter in my pocket!

 

[Raxus]

Oh yay. Bland and blander.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

And then you got naked.

 

[Grexeno]

REMEMBER THE AWKWARD UNDERWEAR SCENE

 

[Zonic]

HEY REMEMBER WHEN I MADE YOU DINNER THEN I STRIPPED DOWN TO MY UNDERWEAR, THEN SLAPPED YOU BECAUSE YOU LOOKED AT ME!?!?

 

[ramoisdead]

"That was some tasty meat"

Oh boy...

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Kirito drooling, best kirito moment this episode.

Spoiler

Kirito isn't really featured in this arc that much

. Part of the reason why it ends up being kinda decent.

 

[UltraGunner]

I'm still mad that they wasted good meat making a stew

Also that awkward as fuck sex scene

 

[Schadenfreude]

Well it barely started. Shippuden is also in the best arc of the series but it only just recently started picking up.

I feel like if this was any other show, most of it would be getting a free pass right now.

Well SAO doesn't exactly have a good track record.

 

[grandjedi6]

Doesn't even remember your important dates. Kirito continues to be the worst "boyfriend".

 

[Insolitus]

God this show is boring, at least AgK is the funny kind of bad.

 

[Shard]

I feel unclean after hearing Kirito talk about eating that dinner.

 

[Amikami]

Thats the night you made glopping sounds. Silly Kirito.

 

[VariantX]

totally forgot about zekken, which they wasted a whole episode last week hyping this player up.

If you really want to know the answer to that question

Spoiler

---no---

and for further elaboration

Spoiler

Kirito is barely in this arc

 

[Raxus]

"do you want to be part of my harem?"
