Watched it late. I
watched all fall series I wanted to see first and when I have nothing more to
watch… I watched this. AND it turned out as I expected it too be. We dig in to
Kirito's story (I'm not using Kazuto or any other name. Changing names is a real
pain x_x), we see his 'sister' and we see Asuna's condition. Now who's ready
for the next OL game to be explored? :D
First off, I'd like
to say that this episode has nicely shown us that despite the 2months
difference from the completion of the game, Kirito still has some habits lefts
from the game. Something you've been doing for 2years isn't really easy to
shrug off in just 2months. It was funny how he was thinking of SAO while he was
sparring Kendo with Suguha (Taketatsu Ayana).
Ahh~ seeing him think about how Heathcliff probably couldn't have hit him or
how he places the shinai
(it's the sword used in Kendo. ~oh the terms I knew from reading manga -_-) at
his back was funny.
I'm pretty sure
everyone remembers ep4
where in Kirito was talking to Silica about his imouto who's actually his
cousin. Now we finally get to see Kirito's 'imouto'. I like how she was shown
in this episode. Her introduction was pretty smooth. In all honesty, I find it
quite peculiar that she's in love with Kirito. I'm not a fan of incest so I
definitely don't like the idea. She seems pretty heart broken whenever Kirito
would mention Asuna but as expected, she's still out there cheering for Kirito
to have Asuna~
Now we're introduced
to Sugou Nobuyuki (Koyasu Takehito) who's most likely controlling the next world we'll encounter.
It's clearly obvious in here how he'll actually be the one to do it. With two
weeks before his wedding with Asuna, it makes me wonder how Kirito will actually
be able to stop him. Of course it's pretty obvious that he'll play the new game
as seen by the mail given by Agil. Seeing Asuna in the game, that's an
automatic I'm on for Kirito.
How the new world
will be? Base on the OP, it'll include flying and the players will be fairies
:3 My friend told me that avatars are allowed therefore we probably have to
remember new faces again (or I guess just a little new looks). AND we'll
definitely see more of Kirito's imouto here :D My question here is that whether
they can actually log out of the game… Makes me wonder… But most likely they
can. Making another no-logging-out twist could make things boring -_-
On a final note,
this episode had cleared that Kirito is actually good at PCs. His programming
abilities is probably good which explains how he was able to turn Yui's tear
into a SAO in-game item. It could also
be an explanation how he was able to revive after his HP goes 0 on his fight
with Heathcliff. He could have done some cheating (or something like it~), just
an idea though. I'm not really saying he actually
cheated since I can't think of a proper explanation for what happened back
there.
In an overall look
on this episode, I'd say that this works out pretty well as an episode in
between SAO and ALO (the next world) :D Now, I'm looking forward to seeing the
next world and the mechanics will go there. AND not to forget how will Kirito
be able to put a stop on Asuna and Sugou's wedding :3
