Just imagine ep 8, Asuna pointing her fork at Kirito, and he goes like "Naaah bitch, FUS RO DAH" and Asuna end up plastered on the wall ^^. Damn skyrim was one fine game even with the bugs. And I would love for townfolks to go crazy run mode, when dragons would pop down on their towns. Of course dragons with DD mod so that they would rape anyone ^^.

I don't see why some consider Asuna to be a tsundere really. Ok, she pushed him away and gave him a glare after he groped her accidentally, but that is a rather normal reaction. The standard tsundere treatment would then be angry with him for days until he manages to calm the tsundere down. Asuna wasn't even angry long enough for him to have time to say sorry and she didn't even consider not to go out partying with him. So it was just some temporary embaressment and nothing more.
As someone else brought up, so was the marriage thing more of a tease and she didn't even look very serious when she said it. The knife threats wasn't actually threats but more a show of her speed and a pointedreminder that she can handle herself out there. So why would she be considered a Tsundere? The half-health one would be one of the other modes. There are three in total, one-hit, half-health and to the death. |

Don't know about mod added shouts. But Storm Call is more than enough to kill your whole pt and anything near you ^^. Hmmm still I wonder how only sword based mmo would play like. There is one in production atm called Gloria Victis which will only have medieval sword fights without stupid magic and stuff.

That and most of the mechanics weren't all that well elaborated or recurring outside the "Friend List" and "durability". The tracking skill for example was just Kirito pushing a button then "BAM!" done. We don't hear/see about it again either. |

I disagree with you all.

She tried telling Kuradeel to go back. It didn't work. A duel was necessary to break his will. If that hadn't worked, I guess the next step was either bring it to the Guildmaster (with the loss of time that implied) or bring him with them into the dungeon and MPK the bastard.

No, it very specifically came up as a clause in the First Strike window after Kirito clicked it. |

Normal Time-limit and First strike which also specifies that you need to hit the oponent with a powerful initial attack or deplete the HP by half. I think it means you need to make solid clean hit to count as first strike. Just like in some contact sports, grazes and near misses won't count. As for the half HP it catters to what RPGs are DOT (damage over time) attacks or fighting games where special attacks chip your health even if blocked this won't count as First Strike either but help reduce HP. |

I enjoy this episode a lot. It looks like we are getting the main storyline moving now. Kirito X Asuna interaction was wonderfully done, they were really cute together. Being the pro he is, Kirito now can add the accidental groping to his list of achievements
The part where Asuna seems fearful of her follower was kinda off. But at least it let Kirito showed off and I guess it is ok? I am looking forward to the boss fight next episode I pity the poor rabbit

There definitely were sexist elements in this episode. The cooking not so much, since it makes sense in terms of her character. But cowering behind Kirito when Kuradeel shows up ... well, imagine how many people would be crying "emasculation!" if the scene were genderflipped. Even if people can explain her behavior in terms of plot, Kawahara still chose to write the plot in a way where that scene happens. |
