I think there will be a few more things people will be supriced by as well. Although I guess there is a risk that the episode titles will give some away.

People also already predicted a few weeks ago that Asuna and Kirito will get married (actually, was that Klashikari's prediction as well? lol). The side stories do tend to be very spoilerific even after they got partially sanitized by the anime crew.

Kazu-kun · 2012-08-27, 18:27

It's going to be hilarious if the anime trolls the LN readers by having Kirito and Asuna face the boss on their own like in the OP.

The dual blade was totally spoiled. I was thinking he had a shield when I first read the foreshadow for it.

Well, I don't expect anyone to predict how SOA will be cleared, unless there is some spoiler for it

DragoZERO · 2012-08-27, 19:08

No one better ruin that. Whether it be the anime staff or someone on this forum. The problem with adaptations are the spoilers. It's why I read the novel first this time around.

Some of you LN readers please stop using your LN knowledge to do speculations in the episode threads.

If you find any posts that are, report them.

The thread tittle is "for experienced SAO Novel Readers only" so unless it's a mistake, I think using LN knowledge for speculating here isn't forbidden.

larethian was talking about the episode threads, though..

In that case, shouldn't it be more effective to say it on the respective thread instead of here though? Not all of the LN readers who were leaking spoilers there be in this thread that often since this thread freeze when there's no discussion while the anime thread keeps going on discussions and makes the LN readers who's leaking spoilers busy there instead of coming here

I suppose either works, really. If we see anyone who's a light novel reader speculating in the episode threads, then it'd be best to report their posts.

If the pattern is that people generally hang out here and then go to troll the episode threads with "fake" speculation then I'd post it here. But neither way is effective since people who want to troll will always troll. And on this issue there's a fine line to walk since it's not as clear cut as just posting spoilers.

SOA is a raid - sorry, operation - boss in SWTOR. SAO on the other hand - the ending has already been partially spoiled when Kirito promises Liz that he'll clear the game. But I don't think any of the anime-only viewers have realized yet when and how that will happen. The anime has been extra careful to cut out scenes involving Heathcliff after all.

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

Enjoy speculating away, I'll read from the shadows.

Deltaray · 2012-08-28, 07:54

Wait what, they are splitting Yui episode o.o that was interesting, and it even seems that they will keep fishing one, even tho Depths can mean fl75 dungeon too.

Oh, thanks. Nice to have a source, too.

2 episodes for Yui, huh? That'll be nice. Episode 13's title is a little vague.. but that means SAO should be cleared/over by around episode 14 or 15?

I'm ok with two episodes covering Yui SS, but I fear anime team will do something stupid like start playing 2 OP from Ep 13 onward which more or less spoils numerous plot elements and characters from ALO resulting in widespread confusion within anime only fraction. If anything, I'll be pissed if that really happen.

Btw, just start following SAO novel recently so will be sticking around here for a while.

Yeah, that'd suck. But.. I've rarely seen 2 cour anime do that.. some 2nd OPs only start at about episode 15~17.

Yeah, I could see 13 being either just the fishing event, or the fishing event in the first half, and the floor 75 boss fight and the reveal in the second half.

lightbringer · 2012-08-28, 09:44

So it looks like Yui/honeymoon will get royal treatment. But "Depths of Hell"? Obviously that episode has to cover the 75th floor battle with the ending likely to follow an episode later, but what's with that title? The only thing that comes to mind is if they defeat the 75th floor boss and then end on a cliffhanger as Kirito strikes Heathcliff and everyone sees "immortal object" or thereabout.
