So that's like the silver lining in them adapting the worst part of SaO to date - it might be over quickly?At this rate they could do all of Alicization in two cours. lol

The first few episodes of the series tricked you into thinking he wasn't. After that it was seven episodes of denial, and then acceptance at the end of the first arc.
I really just skimmed the series after the fairy dance arc. I noticed Yuuki in the voice credits in the OP. Did she not die of super-AIDS at the end of the last season?
Oh God, I forgot how they did Asuna suuuper dirty.Honestly, it wasn't even Kirito that was my biggest problem... it was the complete ruining of Asuna as a character. She went from slowly working her way up to a top 5 players in the game to just being Waifu 13 of 40. They may as well have murdered her for what her character ended up becoming by the end of the first season and from every point after (maybe not in the movies? Didn't bother checking at that point).
Oh - I read that as "hours" - yea that's pretty crushing - hopefully S1 bombs and they reconsider it :P
She gets more of a real character in the last movie (which is just generally an improvement over everything that came since S1), and one of the mini-arcs prior. All that (and more) gets thrown out in Alicization of course.(maybe not in the movies? Didn't bother checking at that point).
What the fuck am I watching? Other then Kirito this feels like a spin off.
So re-watching the OP, which served as an ED this time, it's kind of strange...
It has a really strange medley of stuff. It has all the old people from SAO and even shows Yuna, even though some of them don't appear at all and other than Asuna the old people barely have any presence. They just barely showed the people at the academy, and didn't show the apprentices at all. They didn't show any of the Integrity Knights, but they already showed Quinella. It was really cool but it felt more like a gift to fans, including those that have already read the novels, than a standard SAO OP. I feel there's going to be another OP with the same song but different visuals.
You should probably get used to that. lol
I guess my question would be other then the obvious (popular brand = sales) I wonder why the author didn't just make a new series instead of making this part of the SAO continuity. It feels so different from everything that came before it.
Not sure if this is a spoiler. If it is it's a really minor spoiler that very generally answers your question without giving any concrete details. But I'll tag it anyway in case you really don't want to be spoiled:
It wraps back around to connecting to everything from previous seasons of SAO eventually. If they keep the same pacing as the novels though, it'll take 25 more episodes before that happens. That's why I said you should get used to it. There's going to be a really long stretch where it'll feel like a completely different show.
Is this the final arc of the light novels? Or does the series go somewhere else after this? I'll be very impressed ifthe author can somehow tie all the bullshit of the first two seasons and this new season into some kind of satisfying conclusion.
There's one more arc after this called Unital Ring, though its only been announced and not even the first volume has come out yet. And if its as long as Alicization it'll be years before its over, the Alicization novels took 5 years to come out. So we'll be waiting quite a while to see if that happens.
The episode strictly followed the book. There were parts near the begining where the animation was bad, but it quickly got better.
And Kirito is already getting started on his quest to irritating me, with him suddenly getting suspicious of a danger lurking for no fucking reason, aside from the author wanting him to be infaillible.
ha Firehawk just msg me telling me about the brain interfaces thats in it?

Did the winners of WOW get jobs at Blizzard?The first one is kind of random, though pretty reasonable. The rest are because he won SAO.
WTF with Kirito deducing that the villagers are AI developped from human newborns. If I remember the book correctly, this information is provided by someone who actually worked on the project. And here Kirito bring it out of thin air, like it's something obvious...
I honestly have no fucking idea where this season is heading. I suppose getting back to the real world is Kirito's ultimate goal, but there is no clear objective towards that goal, and no in game objective to accomplish. Hopefully we get one soon we've had almost an hour of story and no actual plot.
This arc's main plot is focused around two ideas and one of the ideas is so vastly different than previous arcs that it feels extremely polarizing hence the feeling you're experiencing. One idea is that this is meant to primarily be an adventure. It's about Kirito's adventure in UW. The other idea is for Kirito's recovery so it's centered around him recovering in the real world. That's about it. There is no big bad to defeat that is destroying the world or anything. There isn't any immediate danger either. The previous arc had a clear end goal in mind every single time but here it's more of an adventure. It's also one of the reasons why a lot of people actually enjoyed this arc because it's so starkly different.
Eh... I don't think that's true. Maybe for the first quarter when its world building. Afterit has very clear goals, lots of immediate danger, and clear big bads, at least at the level of previous seasons. Even before that even though there's not usually any immediate dangerthey meet CardinalEugeo still has the overarching goal of finding Alice and Kirito has the overarching goal of figuring out why the world exists and how to make contact with the outside world.
The episode felt like 5 minutes...
The wait every week gonna be hard.
Felt the same, that went by waaaay too quickly.
And the souls of dead babies? I read that correctly, right? What the actual fuck?
Man this is really really slow. I'm glad I wasn't anticipating this watching this.
Yeah, things need to pick up soon because these first 3 episodes have been really boring. The characters just talk endlessly.
