forgot about SAO :/

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Is kirito just not in this arc?

 

[Grexeno]

Isn't that the monument where dead people got their names engraved?

YOU DON'T WANT YOUR NAME ON THAT MONUMENT

 

[skLaFarebear]

This is the first time I've left Toonami on long enough during SAO long enough to see part of the episode. Why are they back in a fantasy game? I thought they were in a shooter now?

They were. Then Death Gun, tragic backstories and a raid later, here we are.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Haven't seen SAO II since the first ep.... Wasn't this a shooter???

That was the first half only.

 

[grandjedi6]

I feel you guys can find a better way to get known in life than getting inscribed in a plaque in an MMO that no one will be playing in 2 years.

 

[MetatronM]

Or you could just each gather up your own parties, YOU IDIOTS.

 

[BatDan]

Haven't seen SAO II since the first ep.... Wasn't this a shooter???

That arc ended.
Then they did something with Thor and Excalibur
And now this is the last arc of the season.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Pass.

 

[Line_HTX]

We have to beat this boss before we move on to our real life careers.

 

[Regiruler]

They were. Then Death Gun, tragic backstories and a raid later, here we are.

Don't forget misplaced Norse mythology

 

[Raxus]

Asuna: I'll join. Just let me Ninja Loot!

 

[Man God]

Kirito swoops in and KS.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Or you could just each gather up your own parties, YOU IDIOTS.

Oh doy. That makes more sense.

 

[Hellwarden]

Okay, you know what.

This is an okay start to a new arc.

Last episode was decent. Asuna isn't being shoved into a fridge. Things are going well.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

 

[Soulflarz]

Kirito swoops in and KS.

Would be hilarious.

 

[BassForever]

Asuna just got tricked with the oldest sales tactic

 

[Moaradin]

Or you could just each gather up your own parties, YOU IDIOTS.

Pretty sure they said only the raid leader gets their name on the wall.

 

[Seda]

revelation

games are fun when they are just a game

 

[Gorillaz]

This is the first time I've left Toonami on long enough during SAO long enough to see part of the episode. Why are they back in a fantasy game? I thought they were in a shooter now?

yea Im trying to find out how exactly it went from a warzone back to this shit within like what maybe a few episodes?

 

[foxuzamaki]

Is kirito just not in this arc?

This reminds me of monogatari 2nd season in which ararararararagi-kun was absent for almost all of it, but it was still great but stil missed him, such a better harem anime

 

[Crocodile]

So this is like the 12354351351325 cafe scene of the series right?

This IS what Hatchin was doing on that trolley. You even saw her throw away Michiko's note that she left. This is Hatchin leaving Michiko behind and setting out on her own.

Next week is back to the Michiko storyline path.

Nope, this is where Hatchin went on the trolley (everyone was like "oh she's going to save Michiko!" but nah she was just running away for real). The resolution to last episode's plot was the brief TV news report where it says they found the body of Fake Satoshi by the train.

Ok I must have misread/misremembered the dates, I thought at the start of the episode it was a flashback but that seemed to be less the case as the episode went on. I think I was just way too much into the "she's going to save Michiko" narrative in my head that it affected how I viewed that episode.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Fox only. No items. Final Destination.

 

[illmatic22]

Yuuki is like a one of those OC characters you see in fanfictions.

 

[ckohler]

Yuuki is totes adorbs.

 

[B-Dubs]

Kirito swoops in and KS.

That would be so good

 

[UltraGunner]

Yeah remember when vrmmo's killed a bunch of people?

 

[Regiruler]

Pretty sure they said only the raid leader get's their name on the wall.

The party leaders, plural

 

[GaimeGuy]

Yeah if they just want their names inscribed, wouldn't it be easier to disband the guild and each form a party?

 

[skLaFarebear]

Don't forget misplaced Norse mythology

All i remembered from that arc was the raid. Totally forgot about Klein's thirsty ass and the Norse mythology lol.

 

[Line_HTX]

There's more to games than just odds of winning.

HAVE FUN, WHODA THUNK IT?

 

[Grexeno]

Well that's not suspicious aaaaatttttt all.

 

[BassForever]

Let's have fun guys!

 

[BatDan]

So this is like the 12354351351325 cafe scene of the series right?

SAO loves its cafe exposition scenes.
Glorious lazy writing.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

What secret!?!?!

That's she's THE REAL DEAL????

 

[Mizerman]

So...we're at the arc where SAO gets somewhat decent?

 

[ckohler]

There's more to games than just odds of winning.

HAVE FUN, WHODA THUNK IT?

You think you know games? You only adopted the game. She was born in it.

 

[Man God]

What secret!?!?!

That's she's THE REAL DEAL????

Skull Joke?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Pretty sure they said only the raid leader gets their name on the wall.

No, the leader of each individual party gets their own name on the wall. If each guy gets a party, then they can all get their name on the wall.

 

[GaimeGuy]

DAMN IT MOM

 

[grandjedi6]

Yuki had the common sense not to involve Kirito in shit? She's already the best character in the series.

 

[Raxus]

Kirito is TOO perfect. Can't have him join.

DANGER DANGER DANGER

SAO has become self aware people!

 

[redmetal86]

Uh oh. Parenting!

 

[Regiruler]

TWIST

 

[B-Dubs]

Damn, she got powered down. What a dick move by mom.

 

[Crayolan]

They have parents?!

 

[Imperial Bishop]

"Bitch, YOU GROUNDED!"

 

[Zonic]

UUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

I was so hoping her mom wasn't coming back, bleeeeeeehhhhhhh

 

[Phatmac]

This reminds me of monogatari 2nd season in which ararararararagi-kun was absent for almost all of it, but it was still great but stil missed him, such a better harem anime

His come back moment was so hype. Can Kirito just be gone for good though? Asuna by herself is fine.
