Why would Kirito care about killing some douche that just murdered someone in front of him and then tried to take his life? Not everyone has some traumatic breakdown after defending themselves so that criticism is a bit of a reach. I haven't read the light novels but maybe they touch on it there, why waste time and budget listening to the two main characters talk about how they "feel" after doing what needed to be done to a villain?

Also, the show uses a lot of timeskips. I'm not exactly sure how much time passed in-between the duel and sex scene. Maybe someone else could elaborate.

If you think of yourself the way kirito clearly thinks of himself, a lack of reflection on the fact that you killed a guy is pretty jarring.

eh. see, that just leads me to question the decision to refer to it as "marriage"
Click to expand...

Yeah. I really don't know why they went the "marriage" route. I'm sure a simple, "let's go out" could've sufficed but I think they wanted to do it for dramatic effect and marriage carries a more serious connotation so they went with that method. It's all semantics and diction really. I hear marriage but I understand it as dating. w/e.

Yeah. This is the guy who still thinks that it was his fault for why the cat guild died after TWO YEARS. Granted he's young so w/e connotations that has can be sort of legitimate but still. LOL.

An anime with a sociopath as its hero would be pretty interesting.

Wait, was that basically what death note turned out to be?

Just because you have a god complex and kill millions doesn't mean you're a sociopath
i can't believe people argue that

As someone who has finished SAO and Dexter, I can say that my tolerance for stupid is higher than I previously thought. It may also have to do with my irrational need for closure for TV series, even the terrible ones, that pushes my onward through all the sewage.

Honestly, I have this exact same complex about starting things and seeing them through to the end and I'd have dropped this around the Bedroom Loli Invader episode (Ep 3) if I didn't fully embrace the "hatewatch".

We really should set some of ToonamiGAF up with mics and do a MST3K style reactions track for SAO at this point, there's no further good to be gained from watching it normally. I still can't fucking believe there were people (whose opinions I respected) that told me this was the must watch of last year while being totally serious about it.

In other news, Kill La Kill NEEDS to be on Toonami.

That would require repeat viewings of SAO which most Toonami GAFers wouldn't be able to handle

I've been thinking about this a little now, but have you ever seen a show that gives a bad first impression (and I mean a bad first impression) get good over time? I've seen good shows get better and bad shows get worse, and good shows degenerate, but never the reverse.

Of all the complaints I never thought I would hear, Bebop having bad music was probably one of the last ones on the list
Click to expand...

Yeah, that complaint came out of nowhere. I mean, each episode has a different genre of music with some pretty good tracks. How can you say it has a bad soundtrack?

I'd say igpx gives a bad first impression but only gets better as time goes on.

I don't know if it's because I haven't encountered it, have but keep it lost in the mix of "watched but unremarkable" anime I've seen in the past, or another such possibility, but I can't think of any and that's really weird.

People who haven't seen all of SAO before may not want to click that link cause it has characters who won't appear until the second half of the series

Copy/paste info, then. Censoring characters/locations not yet revealed, just to be safe.

The time and date have been revealed for the upcoming Sword Art Online: Extra Edition TV special. It'll be airing at 10:00 pm Japan time on December 31 of this year. For those of you with Nico Nico access, the special will also be streamed live at the same time.

As for the content of this special episode?
