ben0119 Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Episode 1 Discussion Last time, in a somewhat Pyrrhic Victory, Administrator Quinella was defeated, but in the process, Cardinal and Eugeo died, Alice's memory crystal was destroyed, and Kirito was struck down when the attackers invading the Ocean Turtle hit the power supply. Find out where things continue from here on out, on Sword Art Online: Alicization - War of Underworld, tonight, on Toonami. Edited January 18, 2020 by ben0119 2 1
OwlChemist81 Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Well, you beat me to the punch. Ironically, my DVR says Season 3, Episode 25!
ben0119 Posted January 18, 2020 Author Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Yep, I've got some work to do now, editing, now that I won lol. So what should it be labeled as, then? Edited January 18, 2020 by ben0119
OwlChemist81 Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Up to you. SAO doesn't do episode numbers in its title cards.
ben0119 Posted January 18, 2020 Author Posted January 18, 2020 It shows season 3 episode 25 on my DVR too. Funny enough, my SuddenLink TiVo DVR seems to think SAO is coming on EVERY WEEK, even when it isn't on, then corrects itself when it gets closer to Saturday. But until then, it says it's going to record 2 episodes of SAO every week... very odd. Let's see how everyone else labels it. Funimation has it as episode 25. Hulu treats it as a separate series and calls this episode Season 2 Episode 1. Crunchyroll calls it episode 1. Whatever the fuck "Hi-Dive" is, it calls it Season 2 Episode 1. MyAnimeList calls it episode 1. AnimeNewsNetwork calls it episode 1. Wikipedia calls it episode 25. By the way, over all this is the 75th episode of SAO! Don't know if that includes the GGO spin-off series. In any case, writing season number or whatever else takes too much space, and I like just calling it episode 1, so I'll leave it as is. 1
ben0119 Posted January 18, 2020 Author Posted January 18, 2020 Here are some promotional magazine scans. I thought it would bloat the OP too much to put them there. Don't know if there is a translation available for these, but I assume nothing that's written here can allow us to glean too much about the new season. Check out this TEN BILLION PERCENT STRAIGHT magazine spread of COMA KIRITO and GHOST EUGEO! And here's the others. Looks like mostly a retrospective. Lol at the Asuna stripping scene being included. 1

Jman Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 You were doing fine until you listed Ash. That one just made me go...no.
mochi Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 4 minutes ago, Jman said: You were doing fine until you listed Ash. That one just made me go...no. that one's a joke in the new season Ash has no female traveling companion and his new male traveling friend keeps blushing at him and getting flustered around him, so it seems like they're hinting at the idea of making this seasons "Misty" be the guy.....but much like his relationships with all the girls he travels with, it's not bloody likely Ash will ever return his crush....or even realize Gou has a crush on him
Jman Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Ah. Well, you can see why it threw me off when you’re showing genuine LBGTQ+ characters. Where were we? Oh yeah, SAO’s Toonami’s Fire Emblem. It shows up and BOOOOOOOO. At least it appears the LA one isn’t happening.

The1gairon Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 .... so braindead!Kirito is a fetish to the point where they put him on a spread!??
PokeNirvash Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 To celebrate the return of everyone's least favorite Toonami program, here's a tweet I made last week. That random casino sign girl really looks like Asuna in a sexy version of her Knights of the Blood Oath uniform, doesn't she? 2

Jman Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 Well it’s competing with a Conor McGregor fight, so the ratings oughta be interesting.

Even then, the shows have almost nothing in common besides the fact they take place in virtual worlds. And the original SAO short story was published on Reki's website way before that, around 02 I believe. Edited January 19, 2020 by ben0119

UwU Every other anime this past year: Spoiler (ash is gay now btw) I don't know if SAO was being progressive so much as giving fans another pairing to ship and make porn for. But Kirito is straight. Well, maybe both of them are bi, but Kirito has Asuna and Eugeo was in love with Alice. But at least SAO had Yuuki. And the GGO series Spoiler Has lesbians. But Reki didn't write that one.

DangerMouse Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 All right, let's see if Alice gets to do anything. 1
AnimationFan14 Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 Time to see how Kirito gets laid in a coma 1

CorbeauKarasu Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 i remeber during my hatewatch of the last season (my cousins think i'm crazy for sitting through this franchise) the assault on th lab was the first actuly interesting thing to happen and they left us with a cliffhnger. boo. and went back and watched the first ten episode of the first season. it had flaws, but it ws decent . this series hasn't been good since then.
HardcoreHunter Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 The last thing I remember is the naked chick caught on fire... 2
CorbeauKarasu Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 but i am curious to see how the show will fae without kirito around. then again. it's not like he was the series' biggest problem
ben0119 Posted January 19, 2020 Author Posted January 19, 2020 I don't think Kirito will be walking anywhere, Selka. HEEYOOOOOOOO!
