Of course it's hard. Nonetheless, I find the focus on this "lovetriangle" thing just pointless and annoying. It leads just to nowhere but pointless and forced drama. |

I agree. Suguha's role in the story feels kind of tacked on and doesn't really serve any purpose relative to the rest of the plot. It's just a sidestory, pure and simple. You could probably cut it out without changing anything else about the series. So if it doesn't stand on its own, there's no reason for it to be there. And maybe I'm just a heartless robot but I don't feel much sympathy for her at all.
What makes it even worse (to me), is that she's basically the perfect opportunity to develop the notion that SAO survivors have strained relationships with their families because of the lost time, but that quickly gets overshadowed by her "broken heart". I feel like making her a doomed love interest is a waste of her character. |

That's what bugs me, I've seen a lot of people dismiss it as " oh more blatant siscon otaku pandering / oh look another member of Kirito's harem." When it's been obvious from the start the whole narrative point of her arc was tragic Dramatic Irony.
Of course it's handled with all the subtlety of a speeding cement truck, so I can understand why it might not appeal to someone. |

This is like how people tried the 5-person flight train thing and nearly got up to the top, and then they put the wall. Programmers don't always think of the crazy things people will try to break the limits they think are in place. So I can't really blame him for this one. Quote:
I too can understand why some might not like it, but I really strongly disagree with the suggestion that it's "tacked on and doesn't really serve any purpose". Couldn't be further from the truth, in my view.

So what are Kirito and Sugu's parents??? did I miss something.
This was an ok episode, the truth that we found out about alfheim was what we already knew, controlling peoples emotions, thoughts or just overall brain blah blah blah. Why can't there just be more episodes with the fight scene levels of kirito & the almighty, fearsome, deadly......Eugene? Seems to be fashionable trend these days the whole sister being in love with their brother scheme, first Dexter (in usa land) and now SAO (in anime land)

I agree with what was said before that they're not exactly being subtle about all the irony, so I can see why some don't like it... but I think Suzuha's doomed romance is a lot more critical to the story (at least right now) than her status as his sister. Edit: Quote:
(I suppose I should also say that I've been known to have unpopular tastes and to like stories that feature doomed romance. So I can understand that things that seem central and important to me may seem less important to others. It's all in how you look at it. Just trying to explain the way I see it.)
