Review: In this week, the action-oriented scenes take a backseat to dramatic content and the explanation of Yuuki’s situation. After her sudden logout three days prior, Asuna has been unable to contact her new friend, and no one seems to be giving up any [...]
Review: If you’re looking for blood-pumping action, then this episode will fill you up with everything you want. We finally get the chance to see the results of Kirito’s attempt to take on a raid party by himself (well, almost—an unexpected ally does show [...]

Review: If you’re rich, then you have no worries, life is easy, and you get to do what you want. That’s the common perception, right? Well, take a look at Asuna’s life in this episode, and tell me you still feel the same. While having [...]
Review: Another day, another arc. This time we’re launching into the Mother’s Rosario arc, which appears to be a popular portion of the overall series. Why? Well, I don’t know, but I guess we’re about to find out. That being said, this isn’t a very [...]
Review: The final part of the Excalibur trilogy is upon us, and a nice portion of the episode is devoted to the final battle between Kirito’s party and Thrym. There’s certainly plenty of action to go around, but one does have to question how much tension [...]

Review: From guns and a gritty, apocalyptic-type landscape back to the fantasy and bright settings of Alfheim Online? I can dig it. I’m much more of a fantasy guy, anyway. This episode launches us into the Excalibur arc, which is apparently a side story [...]
Review: And with that, this story is tied up. If you got used to the adrenaline-pumping action of the past couple episodes, then prepare yourself to come down from that this time around. True, the duel between a certain set of male characters finishes up [...]
Review: Now THAT was an episode! We pick up where we last left off, with Kirito and Death Gun facing off in the wastelands. Unlike what we’re used to, though, Kirito is getting his behind handed to him. This was, quite frankly, a nice change of pace. [...]
Review: If you were disappointed by the previous episode’s focus on cave-sitting, repeatedly staring at Sinon’s buttocks, then I have good news for you! This episode has at least 50% less cave sitting and 70% less butt focus!* Okay, in all seriousness, [...]
Review: Welcome to We Sit In A Cave An—I mean, Sword Art Online II: Episode 11. Well, my original title wouldn’t have really been off the mark. The majority of this episode does involve Kirito and Sinon sitting in a cave discussing Death Gun. Of course, [...]
