It’s been another month-ish since the goings-on of last episode and this time around you can really tell. To be thrown into the middle of the rebels planning to destroy the Death Star latest boss where not only is Klein there but also Asuna and the rest of the fighters from three episodes ago is jarring in a good way. Kirito is smack in the middle of a group that ostracized him back in episode two and yet for the…
After some CBS Survivor level drama, it looks like the focus of the episode this time around is Silica—a beast tamer that doesn’t prove to be one of the more mentally stable characters we’ve met so far. She doesn’t seem crazy in a “beg for fingernails on the subway” sense, but if you cried virtual tears over what essentially serves the purpose of those Teddie Bears in Earthbound then that has to count for some level of crazy.

Token girl aside, they seem pretty interesting… or at least as interesting as a guild can come off as within the first couple minutes before the opening sequence. Interesting to know that the entire group knew each other from their school’s computer club irl. Any mentioning of a computer club in my animoo makes me think of…
Obscure sicknesses aside, I’m back… hopefully with a more positive outlook on the series. You know the one incredibly amiable guy in school that gets along with everyone and seems too perfect to be an actual human so you spend your downtime from secretly worshipping him to find evidence to out him as a robot designed to observe out species? Yeah, blue-haired guy is the SAO-equivalent. I’m betting his avatar pre-plot-twist was his exact face… either that or an incredibly…
For the record, I initially did have some inklings of what could be considered interest in this show. Sadly that interest lasted for two episodes before I dropped it from my to-watch list this anime season. So why am I coming back to it? Well, I’d say it’s because it’s like one of those abusive relationships where I keep coming back to it no matter how badly it treats me, but the answer’s far less interesting. Curse you, AniRev staff…
