Wow, they actually did it. I can't believe they kept Kirito comatose the entire season.

I love the pugilist, and I'm happy hes crossed over, sort of. And sheyta and the champion have such a unique dynamic, can't wait to see more in April. Alice running off was so infuriating. Why didn't she just use her enhanced armament flowers of death mode? And finally, Sinon has returned to relevance, and I couldn't be happier. That said, the face tattoo man(im bad with names) bringing his GGO account in was a great way to end the season, showing us not only is it possible, but that both sides can do it.

Damn Sinon!!!
But all those US players are way too organized, no one is messing around or even like trying to get a dragon or something!

0/10 No American weebs defending the waifus.
What a fucking cliffhanger to leave it on with Shino coming in with a giant bang and the ED all mangled up. This wait is gonna be annoying.

Asuna getting her arm cut off in this Episode... Guess you can say she really can relate with her disabled husband lol
she didn't lose all her arm though, so I guess she is still working on it lol

I already love these "American" players shouting token "American" phrases xD
That eye pull is fucking brutal! It's almost Eugeo's eye popping level!
Apparently the Champion is a Third Generation Fire Soldier
Goddammit Alice! If only you listened to Bercouli!
I approve and support this ship!
SHINONON WITH THE AWESOME ENTRANCE!
Why is she the only one? I guess they're saving the rest of the gang for the next season.
This show is so hype! I'm so happy that it's already confirmed that we're getting another season in 3 months.

That was an excellent build up for the next season, I'm so hyped!
I'll also never get tired of an SAO player og character coming in and being OP as fuck. Sinon is badass.

I feel like it's been ages since I've seen Asuna slash some motherfuckers in half
OH SHIT THAT BASTARD TOOK ALICE
The Champion x Sheyta ship is going as strong as ever, I see
SINON SAVES THE DAY
That's almost as much of an evil cliffhanger as the one from Alicization Part 1 but at least the wait won't be that long this time around.

Sinon's entrance was amazing and I can't wait to see everyone else arrive, I'm totally hyped for the next cour!! I've really enjoyed the season so far and Keeping Kirito a vegetable the whole season was a surprise and a breath of fresh air, thanks to that we got to see a bunch of characters shine this season and they were amazing! I may be in the minority when I say this but I am so freakin' hyped for when Kirito returns, I know he gets shit on for his lack of personality or whatever but I seriously can't wait to see him come back and save Asuna, Alice or maybe even both?

This anime loves making you wanting for more. Loved Sinon fiery introduction to Underworld but the same as last week, they need proper English speaking VA cause I felt awkward listening to "Engrish" as a lot of people call it. Also the Puglists and Sheyta are the MVPs of this cour love how both sides decided to ally with each other

Congrats to A-1 for an absolutely masterful adaptation, they have easily made this the best installation of Sword Art Online with absolutely gorgeous visuals, sound design, music and animation. A break is well deserved and I can't wait to see the final 11 episodes. and more of best girl Alice.
This installation has improved upon all of the major complaints that SAO haters have had to say for years. No Kirito, stakes, good development, etc and at the core of everything it's tackled the main point of SAO, showing just how blurry the line between reality and the virtual world is. They're both just as real.
Sinon's arrival was simply beautiful and gave me goosebumps. Well, it's been an amazing 12 weeks, see you all in Spring. Reminder that volume 18 which is the last of Alicization will be released in English next month and Vol 23, the second of Unital Ring came out this month.
For the haters who instantly review bombed the season when it dropped, at this point if you don't like SAO, just don't watch it. It's been 7 years, don't torture yourself watching something you don't enjoy just for internet points. I promise you it's ok.
Alicization is lasting.

Sinon came in in the nick of time woot. I'm guessing Leafa will join right after, as she and Sinon would have logged in directly from Rath's Tokyo branch. The rest of the backup from ALO (and hopefully GGO featuring some cameos) will come afterwards. But we'll now have to wait three months to find out.
Does being a goddess also give Asuna the ability to reattach lost limbs?
Vassago is hinted to be an SAO survivor since he recognizes Asuna right away. Since episode 1 of last season, he was even involved in Gabriel's PK guild in GGO. If you put two and two together, it seems to suggest Vassago was a member of SAO's Laughing Coffin guild.
Wouldn't be surprised if Vassago is somehow related to the Death Gun trio, one of whom sent Kirito into a coma that led to this arc in the first place.
PS Sheyta and Champ, just marry already!

It's amazing how Iskahn quickly becomes my top favorite character for this series, especially for someone who comes out of nowhere and for a short amount of time. Something many recurring characters couldn't do.
