    I really hope it’s Takeuchi Tetsuya who’ll also direct the big fights later

    I am confused. Did you enjoy this episode or not?
    In my opinion, it was a good episode. It is true the second half isn’t so impactful as first half, maybe because they decided to cut after release that super magic laser or whatever it was. I enjoy when Alicization is Alicization, when characters have their drama and have personal conflicts. I think Kawahara took this path of a war because he feels his novels lacked more fights. I don’t know.

    someone explain is kirito like partial brain dead and can’t understand what is going on around him or just can’t control his body, <won’t you need your brain to be working enough to know your friends in danger and you need to
    protect them,
    or
    it was just an instinctual reaction from the goblin’s bloodlust>

    Two Birds of the Double Wing Blades. It was a good episode, but it could have been better.

    Two birds Of The Double Winged Blades.
    Agreed. The last scene dissapointing me, it could have been better.
    I like the new art style. But, the animation is kinda stiff.

    ASK:
    Did you think they will adapt vol. 15, 16, 17 in this cour?
    And vol. 18, 19, 20 for next cour?
    18:12 I did not remember this scene. Where that scene come from?

    Listening to Gamerturk’s opinions really reminds me of how much of a battle freak I am instead of a detailed story analyzer. But opposites attract, subscribe 4ever. I have started to "read" the light novels even though reading comprehension is my worst attribute. Btw, am I the one who thinks that the bird symbol (on Renly’s double wing blades) look a lot like the Fairy Tail Mark?

    Wow I didn’t know what the detail of Renly’s hand was bleeding nice attention.
    Overall, it’s a mix bag episode ~ an okay episode. Love the first half with Renly, the second half was okay but no weight like episode 4. The build up as you mention was aniclimax.

    Two Birds of the Double Winged Blades
    A really accurate explaination as usual , i kinda agree with your opinion, feels likes SAO is missing something. Still i’m enjoying these episodes cuz to me the storyline of Alicization is sooo much better than the original SAO and GGO. But yeah, hope that they will do something with the anime in the second half of Alicization war of underworld to prevent it becoming a "powerpoint slideshow" you could say XD
    Also how tf does Foxen Anime has more subscribers than your channel ?

  16. a flame joke
    January 24, 2020 @ 11:41 pm

    imo I think they should’ve made Renri’s past just like how they adapted Desolbert’s past: in blurry first person. Showing it to us in their person makes it look like he remembered, which can be confusing.

    Edit: two birds of the double winged blades

    For the animation style change we can only blame the director change in ordinal scale. Up to the second season was directed by Tomohiko Ito. They changed it to Manabu Ono in ordinal scale and stuck to the same guy for alicization. If you look at Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, his previous work, you can catch the similarities in style pretty well. Well it was madhouse in it’s golden days when he directed it so it kinda worked, even for a weekly anime show.

    Sword Art Online and Fate GO are very different comparing apples and oragnes is not fair. Also Fate GO has more budget than SAO, SAO didn’t have cash bringer game like Fate GO.
    SAO needs a bigger budget in order to make better scenes. I like current animation and fight scenes.

    January 24, 2020 @ 11:45 pm

    yeah i agree with you about that it lost creativity it now turn to shooting beam of energy or fire or explosion everywhere it kinda get boring .-. but the double winged blade fight scene was so awesome i prefer that kind of action scene more than umm boom! light! boom! fire! boom! flower! or something like that

    I couldn’t agree with you more in regards to animation of the fight scenes. I’ve re-watched those brief seconds of Renly’s more than any fight scene in Alicization thus far, with the maybe the exception of the Kirito vs Fanantio fight scene. The only other fights from this arc worth mentioning where Kirito vs the Goblins, and that GGO battle sequence in episode one, and Sinon vs Subtilizer But overall, all of Alicization fight scene pale in compare from all the fights from S1, S2 OD movie and even the GGO spin off. I will take creative and fluid fight choreography over fancy details in character design and light shows any day.

    Watching Alicization in Blu-ray feels like a completely different anime all together in terms of audiovisual/animation quality than the streamed version.

    #AskGamerturk I want to ask but this is a off topic question not related with the anime. There is going to be a Collaboration with two SAO games the games are SAO MD and SAO IF in 2020 (This info is not a hoax is real fact).what is your opinion about both games are collab? and do you think that this collab would make a big effect to the SAO IF game too?

    It’s. Interesting how lil Alice has taken the OP main character role from the black swordsman but the way the series has developed her is fascinating based on the title I predict that The upcoming episode is going to traumatize her flushing out more of her character as she finally experienced what Kirito experienced helping her understand him better

    It is ture what you say about the alicecisation fights i allways need to think bout the yuuki asuna fight cause it was so gorgeous

  28. Minupa Kumarasinghe
    January 24, 2020 @ 11:54 pm

    15:14 To be fair, a series of character reactions seems unnecessary to me. Actions speak louder than expressions, and something as clearly huge and powerful as Alice’s attack doesn’t need shocked faces to show its magnitude imo (also, I really liked the ending shot of Alice).
    17:47 Unfortunately, what you’re saying seems like it makes sense. Generally, when art style/detail goes up, the animation level goes down unless the studio is lucky enough to have time on their side.

    I will say I have yet to receive a desire to rewatch any of the episodes this season. I watched kono suba for the first time and Im on my second watch through just because of the art direction and creativity is so well done for me.

    I think that the "true" action/war will be begin after stacia is entering :3
    like reki said the first and the last few episodes will be the best :p

    January 24, 2020 @ 11:59 pm

    The only thing I can say is I agree with how the creativity has gone down. Animation, really good, but where is that creativity and fluid motion characters had? You can have both (providing if they have the budget) but they seem to favor more of animation of objects rather than animation of characters… *sigh*

    "pack of foxes" hahauhauhah i love it !
    I agree with your analysis of Alicizaton, I kind of missed the old traits in Ordinal Scale (but without any complaints, I liked the new way) but yeah, it still seems to me something is missing in new anime,i ‘m still enjoying the whim they gave and are still giving to the anime but yes, yes, the old style was cooler.

    As I said in your livestream this week I still think Progressive will be adapted about 2/3 years ahead, if I’m not mistaken soon enough material for a 12ep anime would be WELL interesting if they wanted to bring back their SAO ‘roots’ with that style of animation, traits and why not (it would be wonderful) to call Tomohiko back in the direction, in my honest opinion part of the small mistakes Alicization has had so far is because of his lack (and another changes too).
    Surely SAO still has a lot of time and breath to live so we always want they to take good care of the work we like hahah

    SPOILER WARNING

    quick question Does Asuna use the mothers Rosario skill after ordinal scale I don’t want any details on how and when and why she uses it I just want to know if she ever uses it again so I’m fine with that amount of spoilers as long as u don’t tell me why when how or anything about the story/plot/circumstances of when she uses it if u know what I mean. And do u think asuna will have the mothers rosario skill available to use in Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris? Thx and have a good day
