If an anime is good, it's going to be good regardless of what you know. Knowing what's going to happen doesn't really ruin anything for me, it actually gets me excited for upcoming episodes.

The reason I've asked for spoilers is because I can't read japanese and don't know where to get a translation of the LN.

OMG PLS SPOIL FOR ME THROUGH PM.

Pls

looking for spoilers?
feel free to pm me
although let me know what you want spoiled
such as
the content i'm guessing the last 11 episodes will cover or everything up to where i am in the novels and how detailed you want the spoilers to be

Asuna gets fucky in the bum by kirito and they have smegma babies.

The end.

Saw the article on SC. Definitely not going to watch the rest of it now, I suppose people that never read the novels expected it to be as good as .hack.

.... what?

Just in case you guys aren't aware, stabbing a shield leaves a terribly inconvenient retaliatory stun, I have no idea wtf he was thinking (was he unable to stop after he started the combo?), even if his sword didn't break, he was going to die due to the fact that there was no way he could recover in time.

Also, I disliked the show in the beginning, but it's grown on me. It's not a literary piece of genius, and the pacing is as horrid as it gets, but it's one of those anime I watch and feel good after, it's cozy & warm, regardless of the quality.



Trolling aside, it's true, in 30 years we will play something similar, except much better (no need to limit us only to swords, no need to enforce human-only generated content, imagine a game where the AI is intelligent enough to generate endless concepts, monsters, skills, combat combos, items, etc. I am pretty sure it was stated at some point that SAO had all of these features, but it did not seem so to me).

But honestly, in 30 years reality will be augmented to such a degree, the appeal of virtual reality won't be nearly as high.

yes as soon as a sword skill is started it cannot be stopped partway
and tbh the pacing fits the 1st volume imo, alongside adding in the side stories where they belonged
and to add the cardinal system is actually like that in a way

Actually the next arc is cool, but like i said before there is an annoying tension you'll feel while watching it.
I like to read alot so I read it in one go but, waiting week after week will be painful...
