The fact that they've been living in the game for that long means that the existence of some type of danger is guaranteed, and something is preventing people in RL from getting them out of the game. It's possible that the designer might have made it so dying frees you from the danger of course, but they have no way of knowing for sure, and it seems much less likely than actually dying from being killed. |

Well, apparently Kirito's chosen look (long black coat) has made him famous. Although the Titan's Head guild members didn't really make the connection until they heard Kirito's name, once they did, his fame made them think twice about what they were doing.
Good grief, he's a solo front liner! Mighty impressive. Throughout the entire episode I was hoping, praying to Zod that nothing would happen to Silica. Well, things did happen to her, but fortunately nothing too serious. I chuckled a bit over her being more concerned with her skirt than she was with the plant monsters. Interesting that he had a house on the 50th floor. This tells me that more that half the floors have been cleared. Also interesting that Rosalia doesn't believe that in-game deaths mean real life deaths, or at least she states that's there's no proof. Endless "Dragon Tamer Silica" Soul

Well it's not much different then what he's been doing since the start. It just means he doesn't have a party when he levels up even on the front lines, aka the highest floor reached.
Slight correction on the beast tamer thing, anime didn't mention the information regarding that. Spoiler for Beast Tamer Explanation:
Anyway, this was a good break after the last two episodes of crazy pace. Hoping next episode will continue this.

Seeing Pina die, on my second viewing, is heartbreaking. Especially since I have dogs and I've had to bury three of them. T__T I can totally understand Silica being stunned and unable to do anything. I remember when one of our dogs died just begore we moved - my dad went into depression, my mom dropped her tsundere and was also upset, and my brother cried himself to sleep and didn't go to school.
Me, I had to load her in the van and arrange burial. T__T Also, there is something the anime couldn't convey on Pina's diving save: Spoiler for Light Novel elaboration of a scene in the anime:
Scuse me. Got a little bit of dust.

A solid episode.
It wasn't so hard to follow, unlike the previous episode where there was 4 time skips in the whole episode. This episode laid out some of SAO's mechanics pretty well. There wasn't much elaboration overall (Like the higher floors and his change of clothes/equips), but that's because it's not that significant in my opinion. I would think that an anime-only viewer would have no problems with this episode. I have a lot to say but I don't know where to start, so I'll just say that this is an excellent episode. 9/10. |

Great episode, giving this a 10 as I believe it's as good as the first episode. Nice to see Kirito having his own nickname in the game and is still kicking ass as a solo-player. This anime is making me that much more anxious to be playing Guild Wars 2 in a month...

Hm.. Compared to the last two episodes, this one is VERY straightforward.
Which is fine with me. I'll take breather episodes to take a break from trying to uncover all the hidden meanings. The girl was cute, and the episode established that Kirito has now gained infamy. We also learned a bit more about the game. There is apparently an auto-healing property available for some characters. |

Great episode. I am surprised that there are still people who do not know that game death=real death. They are making the situation even worse. Although, the real fault lies with the creator for making this death game in the first place.

Are the plant monsters inspired from Ragnarok? (1st = geographer with... mandragora attack pattern? Then flora and last one chewing Silica = hydra)
Overall, nice episode. Let's see how cute Silica will evolve later. Meeting Kirito was a good way to boost her moral. Even though he's not a tanking build, it seems understable why Kirito choose an autoregen skill : in a world without healing magic, it saves a lot of money from potion/healing items and as a solo player, allows him to level up more efficiently (i.e. with minimum rest between fights). Adding this to all the details about PKing this week shows that the author knows his stuff about MMOs. |

That probably translated into the anime during script writing as the author gave a lot of input into the Anime

If you're referring to the guy who was green, he's another scout who hasn't attacked anyone yet.
Still, for a character voiced by Megumi Toyoguchi, Rosalia went down like a chump. Wonder what happened to her afterwards...
