from the picture i thought this was a spinoff of chihayafuru lol the girl definitely looks like chihaya and the dude in the back definitely looks like taichi
when will the show stop smashing more characters into our faces and actually develop the existing characters and relationships??
honestly everything that happened in this episode was so unrealistic and unsafe i was so upset like do not mess with the ocean at night what are y'all doing also the tents had no rain fly i know i'm not supposed to think that deeply about it but sTILL
forget love triangle this is like a love octagon lol
i'm unreasonably upset about this haircut he was more ~unique~ with the long hair and i liked it when it put it up ;-;
it has its cute moments but I wish they didn't just rush through everything... They don't give any space for the story to breathe and develop x.x ...
the writing's clunky at best but i still felt a lil summin summin when they held hands and said i like... your hands heh
but also that fight made no sense ngl
lol wow that was fast
I did cry and felt emotional about this but like BUT LIKE THE PREMISE. Her dropping out of the sky in her dress and heels after having not trained for however long and just... maybe a little too much disbelief to suspend... lol
they couldn't have thought of any other way to write this episode aside from glorifying and romanticizing pedophilia & grooming ????
i don't underSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS SHOW
top notch voice acting by the VA of kirito.... when asuna died and he made those sad noises of disbelief that really got me
i am once again asking... if i get trapped in a video game/simulation, please let me just stay there and spend my days fishing or whatever lol i don't want to be here why are they so convinced that they must return back to 'the real world' for their feelings for each other/dating/getting married to be real:rolling_eyes:
also can u imagine if sword art took place in the US all of us regular people that can't afford exorbitant healthcare bills would probably have died by now bahaha
ah to be 15 and be a genius programmer on top of being the highest(?) level solo player in this video game lol op characters are so hard to root for the older i get :laughing:
"i am not a prize to be won" asuna should have said. like... why does she not have have any agency over what happens to herself in this video game >______________>
best boy eita sasaki :heart: are we going for a double friend - friend couple thing here ?
i love me some 'taking care of the other person who is sick' trope ;U;
i am screaming are you screaming i forgot how much i love cheesy romance huehuehuheueh
me & the ghost in my room meme on full strength over here omg
forget what i said before i love runa now
very common trope of killing them with kindness but like... i don't get it lol i'd be like wow fuck u you child
whyyy do they always pit girls against each otherrrrrr
ok but like i love fanfiction
if I were trapped in an vrmorpg i'd probably not be fighting to get back to real life either tbh. real life sucks like why would i put my life on the line to fight in the front lines to go back to it when in an mmorpg I don't have to worry about paying rent/affording healthcare/working a life sucking job lol
harem tropes are so annoying but when i was in high school i once fell for a dude cause he smiled at me so like... who am i to say liz's actions aren't realistic
but also i really don't like it when male characters yell at female characters and they just suddenly go quiet and subservient. and then liz gets treated like a kid/praised for it after? kinda triggering for people who have been in toxic/abusive situations.
the funny thing is this plot line actually kinda realistic (a man marrying a woman and then killing her because she doesn't act like how he thought she should - honor killing irl anyone?), but the unrealistic thing is the dude being shocked and accepting his fate when told 'you didn't love her you wanted to possess her' like i mean obviously ??
what doesn't make sense is the lackadaisical 'evidence' kirito puts together to explain what happened - the teleportation we saw on screen did not look like the durability fading animation at all and how he got from point a to point b was just nonsensical leaps and poor writing
spoiler for the next episode: that girl is literally acting her little ass off lol was she a theater major in the real world
japanese animators leave underage girls alone and not sexualize them challenge (impossible)
i mean if you're a video gamer shouldn't you know that it is completely not safe for someone of a way higher level to be traveling with people who are at much lower of a level in the same party/guild? >_>
i do really feel for the guild leader. that was the part that got me.
i never got around to season 3 or 4 so i figured i'd watch the first two seasons again before watching through it.. this anime was the first anime i watched as an older person and i remember the grip it had on me at the time so it'll be interesting to experience this again years later as a grown person with more life experiences and such.
cryin at the first episode, that doesn't happen very often
