Random Curiosity

「ファンレター」 (Fanretaa)
“Fan Letter”

For another setup episode, I must admit that this week’s episode was actually pretty good. Also, Ika Jam anyone?

「GGO」 (GGO)
“GGO”

I have a friend who I believe is the same height (or taller?) than Karen and I can say that they’ve complained to me about a lot of the same problems that Karen has.

「スクワッド・ジャム」 (Sukuwaddo • Jyamu)
“Squad Jam”

I’m not afraid or ashamed to say it — I LOVE EVERYTHING SWORD ART ONLINE.

「マザーズ・ロザリオ」 (Mazaazu Rozario)
“Mother’s Rosario”

While I typically like to leap straight into the final impressions for a show (especially a two-cour one), how can I not blab a bit about this final episode?

「夢の始まり」 (Yume no Hajimari)
“Beginning Of A Dream”

While last week’s episode didn’t hit my feels in quite nearly the right way, this week’s was so spot on that I can barely make out the screen right now. -Goes to wipe face-

「旅路の果て」 (Tabiji no Hate)
“Journey’s End”

Well then! Let me go find my box of tissues…

「剣士の碑」 (Kenshi no Hi)
“Swordsman’s Memorial”

I’m so sorry Klein ):

「スリーピング。ナイツ」 (Suriipingu Naitsu)
“Sleeping Knights”

If you thought last week’s episode was good, just wait till you watch this one.

「絶剣」 (Zekken)
“Absolute Sword”

I think this was my favorite episode of Sword Art Online yet — yes even more than the one when Kirito decided it was okay to finally use TWO SWORDS AT THE SAME TIME.

「森の家」 (Mori no Ie)
“House In the Woods”

While I feel like it’s a huge copout that the show is using the same opening sequence for this next arc, I must admit that returning back to Aincrad felt a lot better than I thought it would.

「エクスキャリバー」 (Ekusukyaribaa)
“Excalibur”

I mean, what do you think of when you hear hammer and mythical gods?

「巨人の王」 (Kyojin no Ou)
“King of Giants”

Continuing off of last week’s momentum, the story continues to dive deeper as it makes us wonder just how intricate a MMORPG can really be.

「湖の女王」 (Mizuumi no Jyouu)
“Queen of the Lake”

As much as I enjoyed the GGO arc, the start of this arc and how this first episode played out was exactly what I expected wanted from a second season of SAO.

「小さな一歩」 (Chiisanaa Ippo)
“Small Steps”

Leaping straight back into the action, this week’s episode started with a fitting fight to close out all of Death Gun’s antics.

「ファントム・バレット」 (Fantomu Baretto)
“Phantom Bullet”

Am I the only one who felt a little awkward by the end of this week’s episode?
