Sword Art Online: Alicization
Oshimeter
Synopsis
With no memory of how he arrived, Kirito finds himself in a fantasy world unlike anything he's faced before. Not a game this time: the Underworld is a virtual civilization built on artificial souls, and the people living in it don't know they're in a simulation. He befriends Eugeo, a woodcutter bound by rigid laws he can't question, and together they set out to find Alice, a childhood friend taken away years ago by the Integrity Knights for breaking one of the Underworld's absolute rules. What starts as a straightforward rescue mission pulls you into something deeper: questions about what makes a soul real, whether AI can truly be human, and who gets to decide. This is where SAO grows up. The 24-episode TV series from A-1 Pictures has some of the best animation the franchise has ever seen, and the world-building actually rewards your attention instead of just looking pretty. Eugeo is the emotional anchor here, and his dynamic with Kirito gives the story a weight that earlier arcs didn't always earn. The pacing is slower and more deliberate than previous seasons, which might test your patience early on, but the payoff is worth sitting with. If you liked the isekai-adjacent elements of Overlord or the virtual world politics of Log Horizon, Alicization scratches a similar itch while leaning harder into the philosophical side. Fans of Accel World will also notice some thematic overlap, which makes sense given the shared creator.

Was doing really really good 95% of the season. But they low-key fumbled the end. The most ridiculous amount of plot armor masked with the “power of friendship” power up. Winning is fine but how they delivered in the end was disappointing. If they simply made him OP it would have been better rather than the fight starting strong opponents suddenly gets a power up then the mc gets another power up with the power of bullshit. You get my point Other than that the story was amazing Alice is an amazing character and ofc kiritos new best friend is also amazing. I really liked how they showed the people in this alternate reality breaking the “script” if you would. It was a very interesting idea done really well. It’s just the ending of this season that slightly ruined it
Pertarungan Kirito dan Quinella bener bener epic dan akhirnya kita bisa lihat nitoryuu Kirito lagii. Tapi setelah selesai malah muncul lebih banyak pertanyaan baru lagi. Cliffhanger ending nya juga bikin kerasa banget kalau season ini memang seperti buildup besar buat season setelahnya. Walaupun alurnya kadang terasa bertele tele, animasi dan sound effect yang mewah berhasil bikin semuanya tetep enjoyable buat ditonton.
Menurutku plotnyaa mulai terasa agak terlalu dramatis di bagian ini. Aneh aja lhoo, Ada beberapa keputusan karakter yang niat dan tujuannya sebenarnya bagus, tapi penyelesaiannya bikin aku agak bingung karena hasil akhirnya terasa kurang memuaskan. Jadi ada beberapa momen emosional yang impact nya malah terasa kurang kena buatku.
Dark, keputusasaan, kekesalan, bahkan kesedihan semuanya kerasa banget di episode ini. Anime ini sukses bikin aku ngerasain tiap emosi yang mau disampaikan. Selain itu battle nya juga terasa dinamis banget dengan sound effect yang super keren dan impactful.
Episode ini seru banget karena akhirnya kita bisa lihat pertarungan antara Kirito dan Eugeo. Animasi battle nya dibungkus dengan bagus dan emosinya juga kerasa. Tapi jujur aku masih kangen sama nitoryuu Kirito yang belum dipake lagi sejak awal awal episode.
Episode yang cukup mengerikan dan mulai nunjukin sisi dark sebenarnya dari Administrator. Beberapa tema dark nya juga lumayan bikin emosi dan ga nyaman buat dilihat. Diakhir episode tensinya bener bener deg deg an banget dan cliffhanger nya bikin susah berhenti nonton.
AAAHHH kesel banget sama episode ini, emosinya bener bener kebawa. Administrator emang cakep tapi jahattt woyyy kwkwk. Tensi episode ini juga naik turun dari sedih, dark, lalu balik sedih lagi dengan transisi yang bagus. Atmosphere nya kerasa berat banget.
Battle Eugeo sendirian ternyata keren banget disini. Bahkan tanpa Kirito pun dia bisa tampil maksimal dan keliatan berkembang jauh. Teknik Aincrad style nya juga kereenn banget, ditambah Blue Rose Sword nya terlihat OP dan visual skill nya satisfying buat dilihat.
Menurutku episode ini agak plot armor banget, gimana bisa mereka bertahan cuma pakai tongkat besi tipis tanpa jatuh kwkwk. Tapi atmosphere ketinggian lantai 80 nya tetep sukses bikin merinding dan kerasa banget rasa takut jatuhnya. Tensi survival nya masih cukup dapet.
Kirito agak keliatan naif disini dan bikin aku penasaran gimana dia bakal bertahan kedepannya. Kasian juga sama elevator girl nya, suasananya cukup depressing. Tapi jujur pace episode ini sempet terasa ngantuk sampai akhirnya Alice muncul dan langsung membangun tensi baru lagi.
EPISODE MULAI SERUU . Kita akhirnya bisa lihat aksi Kirito yang keren banget lagi disini. Walaupun scaling kekuatannya keliatan berat dan mereka seperti bakal kalah, tapi chemistry Kirito dan Eugeo bikin pertarungannya tetep seru buat diikutin. Tensi battle nya juga mulai terasa naik.
NEW OP SONG BANGER BANGETT!1!1! Pertarungannya juga mulai terasa makin seru dan duo Kirito sama Eugeo bener bener keliatan chemistry battle nya. Sound effect pertarungannya terdengar mahal banget dan tiap clash pedangnya terasa impactful. Episode ini hype parah.
Masih fokus ke world building dan konflik antara Cardinal sama Administrator. Jujur bagian penjelasannya mulai agak terasa boring karena dari episode sebelumnya juga udah cukup banyak exposition. Tapi flashback pertarungannya masih menarik dan lumayan bikin episode ini tetap engaging.
Episode ini cukup menarik walaupun masih banyak pembahasan tentang Underworld dan sistem dunia nya. Untungnya penjelasan yang diberikan masih enak didengerin dan ga terlalu bikin pusing. Semakin lama juga makin penasaran gimana Kirito bakal melawan semua aturan dan kekuatan besar yang ada disana.
Awalan arc yang cukup solid dan mulai membuka konflik yang lebih besar lagi. Misteri tentang dunia Underworld juga masih banyak banget yang belum terungkap jadi bikin penasaran. Walaupun pace episode ini cukup santai dan belum terlalu banyak action, penjelasan dan buildup nya masih nyaman buat diikutin.
I’m not good with endings, and this one feels so sad. The cliffhanger here serves as a gateway to the next season. A bittersweet ending, I must say. The animation was on point, I can’t deny that, which made the ending feel even more melancholic.
Cardinal and Eugeo’s sacrifices were brutal. I just wanted to say, ‘Wake up, Kirito!’ This was an intense and emotional episode. The way Eugeo fought the Sword Golem was beautiful, it felt full of hope.
The Sword Golem was huge, but its shape reminded me of a pair of scissors. ✌️ I thought Eugeo was going to snap because of what happened to his friends. Cardinal’s entrance was an absolute bombshell. The animation was at its peak, especially the fire animation, even if it was the villains’ power.
The soundtrack during the fight scenes was great. It added a really cool touch to them. I just wanted to see more screen time for Kirito and Eugeo’s battle. Eugeo’s expression when Kirito mentioned Alice while trying to make him remember everything was priceless.
I did not know that Alice and Bercouli were that close. Chudelkin is really annoying, both appearance-wise and attitude-wise. The senators in the room were creepy. I don’t know what they were eating, but it looked disgusting. Making creepy animation is effective.
