Fast paced episode, a bit too fast really but still good.

the action was awesome!!! and so is the implied bed action scenes lol

mmmm haven't they confirmed a second season already?

I know ANN posted that they already confirmed the singer for the OP for the second season, so wouldn't that would imply that the second season is confirmed?

I think its going to be waaay to short than what i actually want it to be ;-;

CRAWLING IN MY SKIN
THESE WOUNDS, THEY DO NOT HEAL
FEAR IS HOW I FALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

they did....

It implies near the end that they did sleep together (seeing as she was naked in bed). The light novel goes into detail about that night that makes it a bit too...explicit for TV viewing.

2 things that bother me though. First, the paralysis. You seriously don't have any skill that gets rid of that? No that's bullcrap. That means anybody can kill you if they get that in your system. The antidote crystal made it a little better, but still it can be knocked away when someone tries to use it. Not to mention that Kuradeel did so much damage to Kirito with just a few stabs. Even after a previous episode addressed this issue. He's 3 levels away from lv99. And he felt pain too, which you don't feel pain in SWO.

Second, Kirito loses to Heathcliff. Something was fishy about that fight and the fact that the single strongest combat "beater" loses on a 1v1 doesn't make sense. Heathcliff is the leader of the strongest guild so sure he's strong, but he's used to team play and is a primary defender. Kirito solo'd the strongest boss in game and yet a single guildmaster defeats him?

chapter 16.5 if anyone knows what I mean...

Hentai OVA for that please

You don't feel pain, but you do get a numb/tingling sensation, and if you combine that with the fear associated, you may make yourself feel pain that doesn't exist (similar to how I always get the symptoms of any disease I think I have, which is very annoying).

I made a "full band" cover of the Opening Song, hope you enjoy!

tbh i was disappointed with the pace and common sense in each scene (yes as well as the last one)

and the duel.... i was expecting more from the music. and it was not that exciting for me.... it was detailed but it's lacking the 'fight intelligently' department

they did a good job on Kuradeel and nice knowing Godfrey for 5 minutes.
