o wow, i thought sachi came back or something. she really does look a lot like her.
and it seems kirito is gonna be going into another game. this time he's Link!! (now to wait for an awesome crossover with these 2) kinda surprising though how not everyone has gotten off of that game. there's definitely a reason for it. like kirito said, SAO isn't over. the OP&ED were really good, i like the OP song, wanna DL it. and lol tiny yui!! thats adorable. i guess thats his style. he doesnt do that "bad guy but he did one nice thing so we love him" crap, though i think we also like those ppl

Hitler is probably the easiest example, although there are plenty of people that are in prison (or out) that would also fall into that category. |

Simple wish fulfillment would not have something like the Black Cats guild being killed due to Kirito's mistakes "the hero screws up and gets his friends all killed" isn't exactly fulfilling wishes. Or something like this episode which pretty much included "his great power doesn't exist in the real world" as one of it's themes. Likewise a villain can be stereotypical, and still belong to a "good" work if the themes it's exploring or using don't rely on the moral ambiguity, or lack thereof of the villain. So a work can have elements of wish fulfillment, and still be a good work, and vice versa. |

On second watch, I noticed something. The house Kazuto and Suguha live in has a landline phone. Even right now, a lot of houses are getting rid of their landline. I'm surprised 10+ years from now that people would still use them.

Maybe it's a digital landline phone lol Maybe it was a fib on the animators part. Or maybe the Kirigaya family actually likes their phones oldschool. We may never know...

Personally, I find this episode quite nice because for once, the pacing was just right, not much rushing nor missing details. |

My trepidation probably stems from the fact that anything cutsey with bright colors I immediately associate with half-assed pay2win shovel ware MMOs that advertise all over the net like a plague...Guess I'll just wait and see what they do with the setting.

It was a decent episode since it was good to have a change of pace but I really dislike how they had to suddenly drop in such terribly over-villainous moustache twirling character like Sugou. I hope he doesn't stay an antagonist for too long.

A new arc, new characters and new game.
The show didn't waste time to show how evil Sugou is. Manipulative bastard who's planning to take over the company and doesn't give a damm that the Asuna doesn't like him and mocks Kirito? Check. And we're finally introduced to Suguha, Kirito's cousin/sister voiced by Ayana "Catgirl" Taketatsu(Now SaintessHeart will leave Asuna alone since he loves any girl voiced by Ayana). Can't wait for Kirito goes to the new game next week.

It's rather obvious that Sugou is your run of the mill sociopath. What is actually believable is that such people can rise to a certain position of power. It's not unheard of, though certainly, Asuna's father seems to be a poorer judge of man.
