Sword Art Online Ep 6

Whoo~ It's the first time I'm reviewing episodes of currently-airing anime. But, since I figured it might increase traffic - and I'm in dire need of people to increase my Nuffnang income - I decided to review:

The 6th episode of Sword Art Online!!
(Click on the pictures to enlarge them)
And see Kirito's cuteness up close!! :P

Let's review what happened in the last episode:

During a meeting between guilds and players on March 6, 2024 on the 56th floor, Asuna, who has now become Vice Commander of the Knights of Blood Oath guild, proposes a plan to lure a boss they are fighting into a village but is opposed by Kirito, as the NPC villagers will be killed.

A month later on the 59th floor, Kirito is taking a nap until Asuna arrives, criticizing him for being lazy but he convinces her to relax as well. To thank him for guarding her while she was asleep, Asuna decided to buy lunch for him at a town on the 57th floor. However, they discovered a player killed, hanging outside the church, impaled with a spear.

As they both investigate, Kirito wonders how the player was killed in a safezone unless he was dueled by another player or someone has found an exploit to kill players. Yoruko, a girl who was a friend of the victim, Kains, saw someone behind Kains before he was hanged. Asuna and Kirito heads towards Egil's shop to help them find clues on the murder weapon, which Egil learns it's a custom made weapon by a player named Grimrock. Explaining what they discovered to Yoruko, she reveals how she and Kains are related to Grimrock.

Six months ago, she, Kains and Grimrock were part of a eight-man guild called the Golden Apple lead by Griselda, Grimrock's ingame wife. One day the guild acquired a rare ring and voted whether to use it or sell it, with three members, Yoruko, Kains and Schmit, now a member of the Holy Dragon Alliance, voting to use it. Griselda went out to sell the ring but was killed. Yoruko believes the killer is targeting the three of them as he suspect they were involved in Griselda's death.

After getting Schmit and explaining to him everything, Yoruko becomes paranoid, believing Griselda's ghost wants revenge against them. But Yoruko is killed after someone throws a dagger from outside.

#End of review.

Anyways, so this episode resolves the problem by the end of it. Frankly speaking, I liked this episode a lot. It's cute, funny (it has its own kind of humour), and I loved the reasoning behind all the "murders". You'll understand when you watch it. But first, some screenshots:

Just a recap on what was shown in the 5th episode, which was the beginning of the mystery.

Aww~ Here Kirito and Asuna are eating her homemade bread. So they actually have expiry dates in SAO too?? 

The second box kinda looks as if he thinks it has poison, no? Haha.

Argh!! Dammit. It fell on the floor!! KI~RI~TO~!! :P

This is about halfway through the episode, but I shan't ruin the plot for you, eh? :)

Looks like he's gonna die, though O.O

Woo~ Kirito to the rescue!!

:P

Yes, I'm a sucker for him. He looks just SO DAMN CUTE in these pictures, no?

The dude in the second box (top right) is scared shitless. I can tell. Heehee.

Who wouldn't be?? He's so cute~~~ :P

This is when the LOSERS (HAHA) left. Isn't Kirito just SO cool?

*Melts*

Further into the episode, Asuna finally gets her chance to shine, rebutting the mastermind with her logic (which makes sense, by the way).

Possession is NOT a form of love.

Oooh~ They look dumbstruck, do they not?

I'm not gonna tell you why. You're gonna have to watch it yourself if you wanna know :)

This definitely was an awesome episode. Interest was sustained throughout the episode and it certainly made me think: What? Why? How? Who?

Everything was properly explained in the end. That's what I loved about this episode. Left no room for doubt with just a pinch of mystery towards the end of it.

But hey, if there's no mystery, then you wouldn't want more, right?? :P

I already can't wait for the next episode. Can you?
