I am!If you wanna watch a MMO anime that actually gives a shit about it's world and mechanics, check out Log Horizon.
kind of wish they do an arc that focuses purely on pvp.
They teased it this season... Did asuna even use the OSS at all during the raid?
edit: I guess GGO was pretty much that, but guns are boring, if they writer doesn't seem interested in mechanics instead of just bullshit kirito 'I can sense killing intent in a video game'.
Wasn't the whole point of the pvp stuff ' winner gets my OSS?'asuna doesnt have the OSS, Yuuki does.

I feel like that was the premise.

And amongst these skills that weren’t listed in the ability column, the hardest skill to get, and even treated as a supernatural one was the «presence sense»—also called «Hypersense». That is to feel the presence of an enemy before seeing and hearing them first. It’s also a skill to «sense killing intent».
There’s one group who denied the existence of this skill since logically, it’s impossible to detect this so-called killing intent in the virtual world. Humans who were dived could only use the digital data Nerve Gear sent over to identify and understand the world, so all the information in this game had to be in the form of a process. Of course, that would mean that there couldn’t possibly be vague things like killing intent or sixth sense. Their reasoning was actually logical. Even I wouldn’t really agree that the «Hypersense» skill exists.
However, during the two years I fought in Aincrad, I did experience what could be said as «a sense of killing intent» a few times. I didn’t see or hear anything, but I just had the feeling that someone was watching me and didn’t move further into the dungeon. In the end, I did manage to save my own life a few times.
Earlier this year, I mentioned this once to my «daughter» Yui. Yui was once the affiliated AI to the «Cardinal System» that operated SAO, and she definitely indicated that in SAO and «The Seed» program that was derived from it, there weren’t any other methods of knowing the existences of monsters other than the five senses.
—Thus, I shouldn’t be able to notice the enemy if they hid silently in a place I couldn’t see.
So, I explained the thoughts I had been having for a long time to Yui. Players who dived into VRMMO would use the game server signal that’s constantly far away from them, to check «their» own status. When moving alone in a wilderness or dungeon, they would only access their own data. However, if someone tried to ambush the player, the number of status signals to process would become twice or more. At this moment, the system process would become slower, and finally cause a slight delay in transmission, and this could possibly be the «killing intent» felt.
After hearing my guess, Yui showed a doubtful look and then said that if a server became slower due to this level of processing, it would be eliminated. However, she later added that to put it bluntly, she couldn’t deny this possibility completely. In the end, maybe it’s more convincing to say that it was some supernatural power.
I'd disagree there.BassForever said:Calibur and to a lesser extent Mothers Rosario are the best SAO has ever been which isn't saying much
Probably because those arcs have the least amount of bullshit and focus on the arction for the most part.
Wow, I never asked for this ;~;
I had kinda guessed the twist the episode Kirito said Yuuki was a "product of the full dive system [or something along those lines, can't remember exactly the quote]" but I still think it was pretty well done. Now hopefully the quality stays up for the rest of the series.
2 episodes
Well hopefully they don't fuck everything up in those two episodes haha.
That was the first decent heartfelt moment this show had. I almost expect them to ruin this somehow by having Kiritoor some stupid shit like that.magically find the cure for AIDS
Well hopefully they don't fuck everything up in those two episodes haha.
Caught up on the last three episodes. :/
So how much material is left after this arc? Is SAO still ongoing or has it already ended?
All the questions you all are asking will get answered eventually..What Mother's Rosario is, Yukki's OSS, etc
Also, I've been meaning to detail the "killing intent" thing for a while though never got around to it, but the author acknowledges that its weird and Kirito wasn't the only one that could do it. Just read what it says in the novel:
GGO, code geass, cross enge.
In order to tell war stories, you need ass cracks.
It's the first thing you learn in animation school.
To be fair, I'd say there's absolutely nothing wrong with that and fanservice in general...as long as you've got something else to care about. Another such example would be Major Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Alone Complex. Or Gunbuster, for that matter.
It's going on - but I'd not advise it unless you're a massive fan of Kirito (and even that comes with caveats). I've only been going through it for morbid curiosity lately (as in seeing just how bad it can get, and I keep getting surprised there).Frog-fu said:Is SAO still ongoing or has it already ended?
