Sword Art Online II

the s1 is more good than s2 i think

Anchored by a solid story, good visuals, & strong action, this is a good episode that highlights Kirito as he starts his journey in Gun Gale Online, and the ups & downs he faces while acclimating to the world of GGO.

This chapter is very emotional, perhaps a bit boring for some and important for others because it slightly breaks the dynamic we know about the virtual world and games. I recommend watching it because it's a good season finale and it gives us a very nice character development.

Zeke, the mysterious character from previous episodes, reveals a very sad chapter, but one that also gives us several life lessons; it's a chapter that some might consider filler, but it's lovely, even tho this character wasn't on screen for as long as the ones we already know.

At this moment, the series makes us understand, or rather, we understand that the games being played are not just that, but elements that can help the characters face real-life situations, how various lessons can be learned, and valuable bonds can be built.

Asuna and the new team are preparing to carry out their mission while she deals with other difficulties from the outside. We can also notice her leadership and strategic skills; however, something is going to happen that will leave them very surprised.

Asuna's life, totally in love with Kirito, but in real life, her home is completely the opposite, and while it's understandable why she feels the way she does; at the same time, I can't help but think about how many years she has to be involved in adult problems. I empathize a lot with her, but Kirito this season seems strange, or he doesn't seem to have the same chemistry as before; even though he is everything to her. In this chapter, there was a bit of action, but above all, the weight of reality, but also the power that Asuna carries within her.

We could say that this chapter is a bit of filler or perhaps the beginning of another mission; however, as it ended, it gives no indications of the latter. Likewise, it was nostalgic because we could remember some aspects of Kirito and Asuna's relationship, but also the reality of their lives outside of ALO.

Some unexpected things happened, like the appearance of a certain character, which was also funny and entertaining, but there are also some inconsistencies regarding the game, and although it's a game, some little details are changed for the sake of the plot. Still, it doesn't take away from the fact that it was a hopeful and lovely episode because of the protagonists' good hearts.

This mission started intense, as the time and the bosses to face seemed more distant, being one of the first chapters of this second part. However, everything happens very quickly and suggests that the mission, which seemed so complex, might not be that difficult after all.

It's a new theme in this second part. It seems that now everything will take place in ALO, with the search for a very important item for Kirito, where both old friends and Sinon, the new one, gather again. This episode gives a fresh air to what we had been seeing in the previous part, full of drama and violence, but only this first chapter, because what seemed like a quiet mission turned into something more.

It's a recounting of what happened throughout the series, more specifically from the moment Sinon met Kirito in the game, but from Sinon's perspective, her context, and emotions. It's a refresher for those who suddenly missed something important or don't remember how this first part of the season ended.

The conflicts go beyond the virtual, but now the outlook is different for the characters after the very stressful BoB experience. I'm a bit confused about the relationship between Sinon and Kirito, and although he is a pure and good soul as we've seen in the series, there are some questionable aspects, and if I mention this, it's because the emotional aspect is also important in the plot.

This chapter is very shocking and I promise it's nothing expected. At some point, I had suspicions about a certain character, but now I have confirmed them; several lessons learned about the trust that can be placed in others and the madness that resides in many others.

When they shoot, I get the feeling that they do it slower than the plot requires, but I know it's part of the visual effects and the suspense that needs to be maintained, which in this and other episodes adds a lot to the entire animation, details that excite us. This chapter was intense; the skill of these two players is very good, although perhaps not enough for this opponent. More and more revelations that bring us closer to the truth.

This chapter is very exciting because we can learn a bit more about Death Gun and although his intentions are still difficult to determine, we know he is someone calculating but ruthless. In itself, the relationship between Sinon and Kirito is a bit difficult or uncomfortable, but it cannot be denied that it also adds a spicy touch to the whole panorama of death and trauma.

In this episode, we might not empathize much with Sinon, as she has attitudes that can annoy and anger us, especially the way she is with Kirito. Yes, we can empathize with her story, but he has shown her that he is someone who cares for her and looks after her despite her unbearable desire to have a battle with him.

This episode was very interesting, with an unexpected ending, because just when we thought our protagonists Sinon and Kirito had everything under control, the unexpected happened. However, more people are starting to notice that Death Gun is someone very dangerous, but we are very curious to know who he is and why he does what he does, in addition to being so fixated on Kirito, as it seems that eliminating him is his greatest concern, no matter the cost.

Sinon's real-life plot, although sad, reveals that she can also be a bit insensitive; likewise, the decisions Kirito makes and the information he hides from those who care about him are equally predictable, a typical plot of a protagonist hero. This is this chapter, but it's not a bad thing when I say it.

Moments of tension in this chapter, very interesting. The battle we had been waiting for several chapters brings more mysteries and enigmas that still seem far from being revealed, which either surprises or pleases. Particularly, it is Kirito's patience and tranquility; he is a very sweet but strong soul, despite his revived trauma and Sinon’s coarse energy. Just like the other chapters, there is always a mystery at the end that makes us want to immediately consume the next one.
