You folks and your spoilers.

I'm quite happy some of you folks actually read the damn light novels. Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one who bothered with all of these annoying Purveyors of Really Intellectual CriticismS.

I really like how they gave Sinon her own episode, because it gives us the vibe that she is her own character and her story seems to be independent and doesn't rely solely on Kirito (at least not yet).

B-But I wanted to get to the gun x sword stuff asap. Character building episodes? What are those? Plis, only plebs watch those.

The only good part of the first two episodes was this scene
Spoiler:


dayumm dat phat assssss also yes i stream im a pleb with 5 gb cap ok

No, but seriously. The first episode was dull as all hell. Second episode was a little better. I like Sinon. She's much more attractive than Asuna or any other female character I saw during SAO tbh. :p

also netto plis don't put up your prick guards over here. its chaos over at MAL I'm sure (haven't checked, just got internet) but PC's a peaceful place so rest assured we won't irritate you or anyone else :3

Well... they need to fill the anime somehow... 2 volumes will be adapted really quickly.

Shinon seems interesting, I'm still confused as to why Kirito is still not in the game though - feels like they're just stalling for time. This episode needed some kind of story progression as well as the character building, it added nothing to the previous episode :(.

As I said, 2 volumes are a small amount =D They can't jump into the action immediately =D

I wish everyone could just call her Shinon. ;^;
;-;

Seems exactly like Kirito to me, edge included. She was interesting for the first few seconds she was on screen though.
Hm, whilst they do both have an edge (although Kirito's was on and off) they seem different enough to me. Kirito was very much a knight in shining armour, saving people for no real reason and getting himself in trouble. This is a girl who seems to be doing whatever suits her - I mean she's hunting 'monster hunters' in a player hunt group. She doesn't fit the standard 'hero' as well as Kirito.

I was wondering why she seemed to be taking the video game so seriously though. :| Do people really not smile while they're playing GGO? I know that the game has a ~bit~ of a more serious tone because you can make money but... it's not as if you're going up against real guns. And being strong isn't the only way to have fun while playing.

As a +1 for Shinon, though, I really do like her character design though.

I haven't finished watching first season yet, sadly, but am mid-way through. Should be done within another month or so, hopefully, and after that, I'll definitely be giving this a go. Seriously wish I weren't so slow, though; for some reason, it feels like I'm missing out way too much.

Because it's something like therapy for her. She does it to overcome a real world trauma from guns.

I like the pacing of this season more.

Its better when things are written in a linear fashion and things flow more coherently.

I think it's Asada's background and circumstances that cement a lot of empathy and reasons to like her even more as a character. Definitely shows how the author has gotten somewhat better at characterization over time.

Sigh... Shinkawa I hope keeps Shino away from Kazuto's harem. He has enough on his plate to get this gem. @[email protected] Too bad he's such a Kawahara trope.

At least it's not much of a spoiler anymore when it's revealed in episode 3.

Why doesn't she you know, see a real psychiatrist? I know it's a bit shamefur dispray in glorious Nippon but seriously.
PTSD still affects veterans who visit mental health facilities sadly.

Though if you want the LN explanation, she did:

Spoiler:

Of course, Shino's symptoms were diagnosed as typical PTSD, and in four years, she
received countless counseling. She obediently took the prescribed medicine. But the words of
the doctors, along with something strangely resembling a smile on their face, could only go
so far as to touch the surface of Shino's heart—scratch it—unable to truly reach the wounded
place. In a clean examination room, while listening to them repeat the words 'I understand. It
was very painful. It was very hard,' Shino mumbled the same phrase over and over again in
her mind.

—If that is the case, have you ever killed someone with a gun?

Now, on reflection, she realized that that attitude hindered the building of trust and shunned
any treatment. Nevertheless, even now, that was her undisguised intention. Was what she did
good or evil? A clear, decisive answer to that was probably the only thing that Shino wished
for. But of course, a doctor who could answer that question does not exist.

It is anime so things like that won't happen. I mean if they were concerned about this Death Gun incident they would have shut the server down so... When I saw the opening and Kirito and Death Gun were fighting I saw Star Wars xD. Anyone else get that impression?

Spoiler:
Anyway I'm a new fan of this anime and really enjoyed it. I was just surprised by the pacing of the first season and how quickly, Kirito and Asuna married each other and then Yui coming in as their child. Also no character development :( I thought all the people Kitori met in his adventure were going to make a guild together and beat the 100th floor together or something like that? Instead it just seemed rushed. I was sadden by that.

It all happened so fast and I was like O.o so I'm wondering if season 2 will be as random as the first? Sorry for talking so much guys. Just so many questions I have.
