I bet the ghost is really Old Man Withers!

No way man it was Old Man Jenkins

 

[foxuzamaki]

Oh look, a character that I only really knew for about 1/2 the episode died.

....yeah, if you want me to CARE about their death, make me actually SPEND TIME WITH THEM longer than an episode.

they didnt actually show your supose to care for her, more like be so "shocked" that she died lol

 

[kayos90]

I was extremely disappointed at how shitty they adapted this side story as it was way better in the LN. =/

To be fair, that's not true - if well executed, you could make people give a shit about someone introduced to the viewer within five minutes.

 

[Raxus]

This makes me want to watch Hyouka again. At least it has engaging mysteries.

 

[Schadenfreude]

This is why you shouldn't listen to Kayos when it comes to SAO

LOL It wasn't Kayos. It was an old friend whose opinion I really respect.

 

[BassForever]

This is a really stupid reason to kill someone. Does this have any relevance on the main plot?

What pray tell is the main plot of this series? We've had more vignette episodes then actual plot episodes

 

[BatDan]

That bored me so much. In fact, I'm going to bed now. IGPX is on my DVR.

See you in the morning.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

So we have to wait until the following week to wrap this mystery up?

[Ultratech]

He must have had the Assassin's Blade perk.

Or scored a Critical Hit!

But yeah, it was just pretty silly.

[blitzwolf215]

Sword Art Online - Beware open windows

 

[MetatronM]

Are you shitting me, commercials?

 

[789shadow]

What the flying fuck was that commercial for?

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

LOOK, PROMOTE OTHER ANIME AND WE WON'T HAVE A PROBLEM.

But of course, trading cards.

 

[Amikami]

I can't muster up any fucks to give for Kirito, let alone this girl. This show is horrible at making us give a shit.

Edit: Night BatDan.

 

[BassForever]

Not anymore clearly

SAO the trading card game? LOLOLOL

 

[Seda]

I don't even know what to say about that episode. I just couldn't care at all.

Ahhh SAO card commercial ahhh

 

[Jintor]

OMG TRADING CARDS

 

[Gucci Messiah]

wow spoilers

 

[Doctor Decimate]

was....was.....was that an ad for a Sword Art Online card game?

 

[CrazyTank940]

Reposting for the new page because I love this gif and rarely ever get to use it

This gif represents my interest in the show since I started to watch this half of the episode

Though starting at 100% is very generous

On another note, it's Cullen Time

 

[kayos90]

This is why you shouldn't listen to Kayos when it comes to SAO

Wat? I said the show was crap. I never said it was great.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Did anyone else just see an ad for SAO cards?

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Sword Art Online ad was so darn...ugh

 

[Ultratech]

SAO card game?

Bushiroad?

Uh....wha?

 

[mightynine]

Card games commercials just happened.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

So what do you call someone who murders in a safe zone?

A "Kill-safe-zone-eater"? Or... or...

DELETER

 

[commanderpepper]

Card games commercials? I haven't seen these in a while.

 

[Azure J]

Imagine guys, people (as in more than one person) put effort into this and we still don't have:

The Jinchu/Revenge arc of Rurouni Kenshin
Big O Season 3

and other such productions. Meanwhile THAT MERCHANDISING, OH MY GOD I'M CRYING HERE. :LOL

SAO trading cards, now with backstory printed on the reverse side~!

 

[lazybones18]

I missed a SAO card commercial? FML

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Lol nice.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

I'm actually excited for IGPX

 

[BassForever]

Card games commercials? I haven't seen these in a while.

Should show some YGO commercials, the new ban list is actually pretty good

 

[ReiGun]

I think you can make someone care about a character in just one episode. It just requires a much higher quality of writing than SAO has shown itself capable of.

 

[SousedLouse]

Are you shitting me, commercials?

Not anymore clearly

SAO the trading card game? LOLOLOL

I don't even know what to say about that episode. I just couldn't care at all.

I'm honestly more shocked that Cardfight Vanguard has US ads now. I guess they know their audience, at least.

Should show some YGO commercials, the new ban list is actually pretty good

"Heavy Storm, dead and gone? I don't have to put any effort into my decks anymore - I'm immortal!"

A friend of mine has been griping about that list all week.

See I knew this would find a way to be relevant as we keep talking about this series and it's terminology, but this was excellent.

NO. NO, it's bad enough beater is a thing without us throwing in dumb stuff from other sources.

Are they on motorcycles? No? Then I don't care.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

ROCKET TIME!

 

[Shard]

Yea, Lich King is actually Live Tweeting this episode.

 

[Raxus]

Who needs racing with giant robots when you have CARD GAMES WITH BACKSTORY!

 

[Schadenfreude]

Oh yeah. DeMarco is live tweeting this one.

Not anymore clearly

Nah, she's only led me astray this one time.

 

[foxuzamaki]

[Unspeakable Evil]

[B-Dubs]

Da fuck are you doing Andrei? Old School boxing?

 

[Doctor Decimate]

dem textures

 

[Conan-san]

Those SW and Cardfight adverts got me pumped.

Then IGPX happened. Eh, I'll see you guys in an hour, not in any rush to watch Clone Wars any.
