    Anyway, if you enjoy SAO I highly suggest you read the light novels, hearing everything from Kirito's direct POV is pretty awesome.

    Still can't believe they didn't make Black Cats guild 2 episodes, considering the kind of impact it had on Kirito... but gave that other shitty ass side story involving that other guild over some item. That was seriously the stupidest thing I have ever seen, especially that ending. The only cool part about it was Laughing Coffin's debut.
    Well, the laughing coffin becomes relevant on the 3rd arc and if they'd ever animate their purge, neither of which is likely to happen within this run.

    Dude, the second season is confirmed. It's going to be close to 50 total episodes.

    It should get animated.

    And now we're fucking talkin'. This has both potential and a chance of going far too harem. Please god do this right and all will be well in the world.

    One of the things in Ep 10 made me wonder...

    Spoiler: show
    Is item identification in SAO like Nethack or other roguelikes, where you have no idea what something is until you have it appraised? For example, Kirito might have been handed 'a potion called 'water'' instead of 'a potion of water'.

    Same here. I just got done watching all 10 in a row, except the last anime I watched was Penguindrum(which I haven't even finished yet). Just haven't really been into anime lately, but for some reason this clicked with me.

    Edit: Also, somewhat funny, but my gf stopped by for a bit when I was on the episode about Griselda, which happens to be her name. It's not a very common name(or at least, I don't hear/see it much), so I got a few laughs out of that. Especially since it's about her being killed and shit.

    Just marathoned the current 10, too. Mad I didn't hold out until at least S1 finished.

    You should at least watch Fate/Zero as well.

    It's not a reasonable question until you can explain how kirito or anyone in the game supposed to know how the outside world is doing when they're stuck inside SAO without access to information about the outside world. There is no relevant contextual information to assume anything related to the question to begin with. It's the equivalent of watching scooby doo and asking why Goku doesn't just use the dragonballs to give him some scooby snacks.
    Spoiler: show
    This is especially true given the fact that the creator of SAO is dead and uploaded a digital version of his mind into the game/internet so there is no body to manhunt. The question is stupid if you've not got that far and is also stupid if you got far enough to know what happened.

    Yeah, Anime hasn't been my main focus in the past year or two like it was before.

    Hate to break it to you but people are always going to be curious about that stuff. I always wondered too, I don't see what's wrong with that.
