Sword Art Online

currently two things are disturbing me (as most of you already pointed out):

1. Leafa being Kirito's relative
   (with a correction she would be adopted into Kirito's family or be a neighbour / classmate, I would actualy like it, but now I hate it !!!)
   
   
2. antagonist in ALO being"disgusting"--> a really "creepy guy"
   (as Gats was telling, I think the same, because although I "sometimes" love a character in manga/anime to be a little perverted, now in ALO, I really hate it !!!)

Otherwise, I must admit I don't really see this arc as boring or awfully made in general...:hee

I liked this episode, if only for the fight scene.

Spoiler show

Kirito transforming into that monster was just awesome. At first when we see the silhouette I thought he was going to transform into the Gleam Eyes :XD

As an ancient MMORPG player I'm ashamed of Kirito as a melee. Take out the mages first dude, not the tanks at the frontline. The author just doesn't know his topic. :hmph

I don't know, I don't enjoy episode 19 at all... Well, the fight was not bad, except with the whole monster thing. I don't really expect that from a virtual MMORPG, and from Kirito. Then again I may be slightly biased because I prefer things which at least still look like humans. XD I agree with Gats too. What I think very strange is why he couldn't just jump through those three shields and get the mages first. It's not like there's wall behind the shields? Or did I miss something? Then that hand-biting scene. I immediately turned o__O and stayed like that until the end.

Let's see if the next episode will bring a more satisfying entertainment. :p

After the end of SAO world, I am not enjoying this any more. I can understand, they are in this new game and how this world works is different. Still, it has become boring to be honest. The overall plot is what is keeping me to this anime but I am not sure for how long.

Not too big of a fan of this arc either and the whole Kirito x Sis deal is turning me off, even though they are not real siblings =/
honestly, if I would try to save my girlfriend I wouldn't just bite the hand of another girl. I felt that was pretty cheesy, weird and not like Kirito.

To the novel readers: What's your guess how much more episodes are needed to finish this arc? I guess it will last until the season ends x__x

Come on! it was stupid, Kirito. STUPID. You should know better than letting the mages hit you like that. But if He left the attackers without watch they could go at Leafe and thus ruining the chance of healing. But I don't know why He was SO frontal all the time. Side attacks works best.

Anyway, that aside I really, really, really like how magic is portrayed here. That word thing looks quite cool.

I think Leafa mentioned that the spell was in English? However I couldn't really catch the English when they chanted the spell. Perhaps some kind of tweaked English? :sweat

LOL, maybe weird latin.
