A classic scene.
While shouting, he grabbed the red ribbon at the collar of Asuna's dress with his right hand. As he pulled, the cloth stretched and tore. The thin blood-red ribbon fluttered through the air without a sound and landed on the ground before my eyes.
From the torn dress the pure white skin of her chest was greatly exposed. Asuna's face was distorted in humiliation and her eyes shut so tightly she shook.
Sugou bent back, laughing with a smirk while stretching his right hand out to Asuna's bare skin. His lips opened in the shape of a crescent moon and he stuck out his vivid red tongue. While making a sound of dripping mucus, he licked from below Asuna's cheek up.
"Ku, ku, shall I tell you what I am thinking about?"
Sugou said in a voice tinged with a fevered madness while his tongue was still sticking out near Asuna's ear.
"Once I fully enjoy this place I'll go to your hospital room. If I lock the door and turn off the camera, that room becomes a secret room. You and I, just the two of us. I'll set up a large monitor and run today's recording and enjoy myself with the other you! I'll take my time and go carefully. After all, it is your real body. After taking the purity of your heart here, I'll take the purity of your body there!! So fun, a truly unique experience!!"

I think I found my incentive to start reading heavily again.

I just assumed that most of the players for a Virtual Reality headset would be NEETs living alone, so I'm surprised they're not all dead.

That was really touching and everything, so many smiles just the whole flashback and all, he was such a good kid (and really two years ago?) just how young is he?
I saw Aoto Gonzales...we need him in a match!

I was going to talk about the Natsuyuki but I feel that duckroll pretty much covers it all here:
with the slight caveat that I wasn't really bothered my any of the 'second half' episodes apart from episode ten. They certainly contained a bit of story padding but I liked still enjoyed them quite considerably. The story would certainly have benefited from having them excised, but then you'd have to have a 9 episode show or something.
Sword Art Online 04:
and suddenly, lingerie.
- I know that the game world is everyone's life and all, but getting that emotionally attached to a dinky little familiar seems like it can only lead to disaster.
- I'm kind of surprised that a game would allow a player to warp to a floor that they haven't visited yet. Or were Kirito and Silica's trek across 12 floors just cut out completely?
- ffs Silica you're imprisoned in an endless and hellish labyrinth of death where you're forced to fight vicious monsters for your survival on a daily basis with little to no hope of ever returning to your old life and your biggest concern is someone seeing your panties?
- lip-licking sadist character? c'mon.
- do I even need to comment on how utterly moronic PKing would be in an environment where everyone's survival relies on cooperation?
Kirito so bland. That total benevolence and infinite resourcefulness and nigh invincibility is zzzzzz, though the last can at least be remedied by an eventual return to the front lines. Silica's an okay imouto character, even if she has zero hope of survival. Saw nothing in this episode that would prevent me from continuing to watch.

The real world doesn't matter. This is flat out stated in the show a few times. People in the game are seeing it as the real world now. That's the theme they're going for and I think it's pulled off well.

If there's one constant in SAO it's that characters make really take really stupid risks or fail to consider the consequences of their actions on a regular basis. I guess it gives the story some excuse to have Kirito save them but it does make me wonder how they managed to survive any length of time in the game without being killed by their own stupidity.

Dat familiar was the only pillar of support she got and the only way of relieve stress she had ( by talking to him ). You bet she got attached.
As long as the floors are accesible , anyone can visit . There is usually an event when a new floor get accesible where many players go to the new floor to see it ( as the town are safe zones ) and then go back to their hunting grounds . after the few days , the new town is populated by the front liners
Kirito is a solo player , he need at least that kind of ressourcefullness to survive by itself otherwise it wouldn't be believable at all
Don't care. ITS COCKROACH MOE
The presence of Rie does sour me a bit but this isnt her usual sort of role.
This is true. I love that aspect of both shows.
I havent played an MMORPG so this is probably true. Seems pretty interesting to me. I have no idea if this would be a good game or not.
Everyone wants to know this. We pretty much all just said fuck it it doesn't matter.
FLAWLESS VICTORY.
Not that there was much competition that time.

Right, I think there's nothing inherently ridiculous about people killing each other despite the fact that if they all cooperated they'd all benefit. It would be odd if they didn't.

Volume 1 + Volume 2 Side stories still. As long as they're still in Aincrad, that's the case.
Volume one.
Ep 11 is Volume 2 chapter 3.
All the clear winners too in my eyes. I'm glad all my picks won.
I see. So... what do you think this will be? Maybe 2 volumes per season if all the volumes have a similar page count? This adaptation is successful and I doubt they won't be making all the following novels in the near future.
DAT CHIAKI
Two volumes now, two volumes (ALO) in Fall, and then more coming when the sequel comes I guess. It's way too successful to go without one, for sure.
WE PAST ROUND 1 NOW YESSSSSS

Despite the subdued nature and comparative lack of action, this was a pretty good SS episode, due mostly to the introduction of one of my favorite characters from the LN's. It was certainly much better than all the previous SS episodes.
This episode effectively served to be a calming break from the action of the previous two episodes, so I didn't really mind the slower pace, since it instead elaborated on Kirito and Asuna's relationship a bit, and I think it handled that aspect quite well, since it allowed their romance to be slightly more believable, displaying a more natural progression of those developments. As such, Asuna continues to solidify herself as the best girl, by far. Of course, she doesn't really have any serious competition, and that feeling will only strengthen considerably in the
arc, since that marks the arrival of the worst girl.
Also, awesome end card.

Yui is such a great character, and she only gets better and far more useful as the story continues. Her "daughter-like" relationship with Kirito and Asuna is one of the more endearing elements of the LN's, so it's good that the initial bond between them was portrayed quite well here, particularly in the scene where she first addresses them as mama and papa.

I can't stop staring at those eyes.
It's not a straight linear adaptation. In total, for 25 episodes the anime will probably cover Vol1-4 and half of Vol8. Vol2 and Vol8 are short story collections with stuff which take place at various points of the timeline.
If they do another season after this, they'll probably cover Vol5-7, and the rest of Vol8. After that it might take a while to make more, since the ongoing story arc now is supposed to be quite long.

I've prepared for the worst.
Thanks for the information! This adaptation isn't going to extend in time as much as I first thought counting the number of volumes, I think it might be worth checking it out soon!
