who wants more kirito fan service?

Stark700 · 2014-08-23, 11:58

Lol trap Kirito and those guys fell for it.

Gravitas Free Zone · 2014-08-23, 12:01

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

I thought for a moment that he would deny being a girl. Well, so much for that.

Things are moving at a pleasant pace. No screwing around, Death Gun is right in front of you. With his AWM. (Much Counter-Strike rage comes to the surface now.)

Also kirito is rather creepy in that Image hahaa

I rather liked this episode ,and god dammit i hate cliff hangers, waiting for the next episode is like Tiring >.<! they should release these like completed (whole seasons)

I like how they show "male gamers" falling for "female gamers" so easily.
Good episode, cant wait for the next one hopefully the pace keeps up and is full of action and drama ^^^

This is why you must show no mercy and killdeal with all other avatars equally.

There's much less awkwardness that way.

This episode was amazing. 10/10 or maybe 11/10. Oh god that was wonderful. Also, the trauma flashback scenes of Kirito are being handled much better than corresponding scenes by another popular female character in another LN anime...

Also, that cliffhanger at the end was actually perfectly executed for once. I really was hooked into that moment. That voice acting was actually superb.

On another note... Trap Kirito for the win.

That part made me laugh really hard.

I also liked Sinon's reaction to Kirito's hintings about his own origins. That was well executed.

The production quality in this is just fricking amazing!

GDB · 2014-08-23, 12:28

Good episode, but screw the cliffhangers. Was nice that Sinon seemed to realize that Kirito is an ex-SAO player.

LoweGear · 2014-08-23, 12:57

Well, I don't remember that part about Kirito's feminine wiles from the LN...

Arturia Polaris · 2014-08-23, 13:26

I think my laptop started rising in temp when Kirito pinned Sinon down to the ground. Hot hot hot hot.

PD: I think I saw a little too much... bust, when Kirito was shown swimming around. Am I the only one who saw that?

ookamigirl · 2014-08-23, 13:35

Kirito pumping Sinon for info... again.
He would totally be out of the loop if it wasn't for her.
Looks like Kirito got famous & popular fast!
Him pretending to be a girl again was kinda lame though.
Guess he has to keep his cover..
Kirito is gonna use BoB main tournament to find Death Gun.
That is if he is even participating.
Surprise, of course he is!
It was fun watching Kirito & Sinon observe the situation on the bridge.
Interesting ending.

Wandering Soul · 2014-08-23, 13:43

That was a good episode. I loved the scene where it seemed like Kirito was going to deny that he was a girl but instead takes advantage of it and asks everyone to cheer for him.

This scene was all I needed from this episode

10/10

XD

The Green One · 2014-08-23, 13:57

A tense moment, can they stop Death Gun from murdering his latest victim? We'll find out.

Geez Kirito, you have no shame at all do you? Ah well he's not keeping this character beyond the tournament so I suppose it doesn't matter.

Esclair · 2014-08-23, 14:04

Sinon a cute.

Also lulz at random naked Kirito scene.

hamazura · 2014-08-23, 14:35

that pale rider... more OP than kirito... died just like that -_-
and how the hell death gun, newest player from sao has rarest sniper with silencer OP -_-

Death Usagi · 2014-08-23, 14:36

Pale Rider for some reason reminded me of Silver Crow from Accel World...

Don't see a problem here. If he's playing all day long - it's not something extraordinary. A week or two of 18 hour per day raids - and here you go.

it has been discussed before, GGO allows (encourage) RMT trades.

it is the ultimate pay to win mmo.

ChampDream · 2014-08-23, 15:22

Lo, Kirito-chan is giving some fanservice.
That was a good cliffhanger they did in this episode.
