And lightsabers. Kirito's a jedi now.
On top of that, dudle looks like a girl. That means everybody hits on "her", and this season's co-star, a cold and hypercompetent sniper, becomes a genuinely good girl around "her" (again, finger guns!).
I really like season 2 but despised season 1. I recommend giving it a try, at least.

Smooth Kirito... Real Smooth.

What a way to increase your harem of girls who will never stand a chance with Asuna around
I did like that extra scene from SAO though, was something we haven't seen before and I thought it was pretty cool.

The graphics of SAO are supposed to be worse than GGO, whatever the hell that means.
Got to make it the same quality as SAO.
His mother.

That's only because she hasn't been introduced yet
What? She was in S1.

Wasn't she only shown in a flash back though? We've never actually seen her and Kirito interact on screen together so we have no way of saying she ISN'T interested in the D either
He's adopted isn't he?
I'm fine with Kirito loosing his shit, but only when someone is threatening Asuna, when it's his own life in danger, it just makes him look weak.

Would you say it's... SWORD art?
Also I like S2 better than S1 as well, at least so far.

You know while there's still some plot/character stupidity here and there, this is a lot more watchable than season 1. At the very least, episode 2 was genuinely enjoyable.

So how's Season 2 so far? Is it worth watching and/or on par with the SOA story arc?
SAO 6
This episode was not good. The whole PKing flashback seems like such an important detail that was never referenced whatsoever in the first season. Was the lightnovel like that? Seems like shit that was just made up on the fly. Also I didn't like how the tournament is just being rushed along. No hype or buildup at all so far. Disappointing.

Just like the light novel.
Episode 6
This episode teaches us that in a competitive game no one likes more talented players throwing matches because they don't care about it. It's insulting. Ping Pong taught us the same lessons.
This episode also teaches us that even though it is a virtual game, those who love the game should take it seriously, because that is a sign of respect and passion for the game. Gundam Build Fighters taught us the same lessons.
Therefore Sword Art Online is clearly as good as Ping Pong and Gundam Build Fighters.

My head hurts. Perfect picture.

Bhahaha so true. Kirigod keeps on collectin'.
Well it's a gritty FPS and all the other ones were more fantasy based. So I suppose it's just the author assuming that girls don't like gritty FPSs.
I know this is anecdotal, but in fairness to the author, I don't know any Japanese girls who play gritty FPSs, but plenty who play fantasy RPGs.

The most hilarious part about this episode was the sad music playing during half the episode. Shit wasnt subtle at all. Kirito is just good at everything. Best player, best girl, uh, getter. Best everything.
Sinon is an idiot. If that was Sonoka from Sabagebu! she would have shot Kirito as soon as he turned around. And then kicked his dead body.

You're just jealous that you couldn't get the deep meaning behind what happened during episode six, which lets the audience peer into Kirito's inner struggles.
Not only did Death Gun's tattoo suddenly remind him of the time when he actually killed real people in SAO, and the guilt he felt for killing others regardless of their status as player killers; we also see Kirito struggling with his newfound feminity, and going back to his masculine assertiveness as he completely overpowered Sinon both physically and mentally, breaching both barriers she had put up by embracing her while holding his sword to her neck, and showing her that there's at least one other person out there who has gone through the pain and trauma that comes from being corned to the point of having to kill another person.
Right then and there, the strong Sinon realized that there was someone with a similar background has hers, and in spite of that was even stronger than her, as well as self-capable and in full control of his feelings. To show the huge differences between them, we see Sinon emotional distressed by Kirito's apathy, which resulted in her missing her first six shots on an unmoving target. She must've felt incredibly powerless at all this, and also relieved at the same time due to realizing there's someone she can look up to and try to emulate.
Fixed that for you.
Ah I see. Still a bit weird that Sinon seems to be literally the only woman. Anyway perhaps this means Kirito plays an all female MMO in one of the following seasons. Now that would be something.

The flashback to SOA was a bit random, but apparently they were all so much stronger than Laughing Coffin so why did so many of them get killed? Every other player Kirito fought in the series he beat easily.
Only thing I can think of: they were looking to try to get the jump on laughing coffin and force them to stand down and be captured without a battle.
Aka none of them were ready to be forced into a kill or be killed situation since they thought their plan was foolproof for some strange reason lol
If I remember correctly, I think the episode said that someone tipped them off.

Blasphemous. You know not the light of Kirito Kami-sama. Our one true lord.
Prithee thee skedaddle to a nunnery. We shall not heareth such sinful utterances spoken in this hallow ground.
Hopefully she has some better avatar material this episode.
I like Sword Art Online. I even like the Fairy Dance arc despite the fact that almost no one else does. It's a fun show and Kirito is pretty much the ultimate power fantasy character.
Having just started reading the light novels that scene with the laughing coffin melee is referenced in the first volume although it doesn't go in to a lot of detail. The anime definitely moves some things around in relation to the light novels but it seems to work in terms of moving the story along.
Ep 6: Kirito's kavorka is strong. Sinon can't even resist him when he looks like a scared girl. No one tell Asuna about that beam saber hold on Sinon at the end of the episode. It looked overly familiar to me, not that Sinon minded.
