OwlChemist81 Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 Yeah, I think she did a good job! I have had some thoughts about this season of SAO: I wonder if Toonami actually had some creative input? Think about it: the fact that there's an action scene in almost every episode--kinda feels like it's tailor-made for Toonami. I also wonder if they're gonna try a quicker turnaround for the dub for the 2nd half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have been suspicious from the moment you saw them! It’s kinda BS but I think Kirito intentionally got stabbed in order to trick the girls. Then again, why even risk that? He should have been able to react after Eugeo got stabbed. Typical poorly thought out SAO writing I suppose. Fanatio’s inferiority complex is pretty terrible. While I like that Kirito can admit he’s lost to swords women before, Fanatio’s whole deal is just frustrating to watch. I don’t think SAO is misogynistic the way some people do but this one character definitely makes a case for the argument. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given SAO is on its 3rd season, many of the familiar actors have already been in it and Mami Okada casting these for BangZoom has done a good job at not double casting. BZ is trying new people all the time now and also using more people who have done VO before but are barely in dubs. I think that’s great. Dubs are often criticized for using the same actors all the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does he know they're not just going to kill them? Psychic? Taking a dagger that size into your body would be crippling, blood would be everywhere. The author is just a hack, dude can't write.

The guy just doesn't put any thought into these situations and it gets really old to see this kind of thing over and over. The worst of course, being the 30 second hack into the worlds most advanced computer to save Yui. The "I forgot why I did all this" moment is up there too. All bad guys go rapey to show how bad they are. Mountains of exposition in every freaking episode, doesn't believe in show don't tell eh? The guy flat out can not write. He has the most popular girl in school fall in love with this fat midget because.... he's good at playing online squash. He just doesn't think anything through.

Just as ridiculous things happening get tiresome the more they happen, the more normal they appear as they continue to happen after that. Then again, I'm the type of person who doesn't get super-mad when things like Kirito using leet haxxor skills to save Yui at the literal last second, Kayaba forgetting his motivation over time, most villains' tendency to get super touchy-feely with their female victims, and Accel World's "ugly cute guy, cute cute girl" pair-up happen, so I wouldn't understand. I save my anger for annoying/needlessly violent harem comedy like Nyaruko-san or Infinite Stratos 2, or lack of basic human common sense, like when Kyosuke forgot to close the laptop in Oreimo 11. Easily a worse moment than the last three episodes, by a long shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanatio seems like she was created as a knee-jerk reaction to Reki finally finding out "oh wait My writing sucks!" "Mountains of exposition" is actually a problem with a lot of light novels in general, not just in SAO. Wow. A medium that uses prose all the time could possibly only describe what's going on in 100% exposition? Color me shocked. A lot of writers only focus on how something sounds rather than focusing on something actively being done. Edited May 13, 2019 by elfie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayaba's AI ghost had been floating around before that though, right? Apparently in the books Kirito imagines himself getting beaten by Kayaba, but then is like nuh-UH not gonna happen, and psychs himself up. Not sure why this was shown as time rewinding in the anime but it doesn't come across well. Edited May 19, 2019 by ben0119 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lost all those fights with Liena, but obviously wasn't going all out. He's lost real life kendo sparring sessions to Suguha, but Kirito doesn't actually have any athletic or fighting ability in real life, I don't think. There was the draw to Sinon in GGO. I heard that's a straight win for Sinon in the books but I haven't checked to make sure, or what the circumstances of said possible win were. I don't think Kirito and Asuna did any training or sparring? Seems like a missed opportunity there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
