Sword Art Online Ep 7

Alright, this is way overdue. This episode came out like... six days ago, but I've been caught up with some stuff and haven't been in Malaysia for some time, so...

-.-

Yeah~

Anyways, voila, the review for:

Sword Art Online Ep 7

So what happens in this episode is Kirito, our swashbuckling hero, decides to have a new sword custom-made for him.

Which, by the way, I totally do not understand. His Elucidator seems perfectly fine and frankly speaking, if he gets any stronger, they're gonna need more than what they have to stop him from winning the game.

You see, due to some misunderstanding, Kirito now has to help Lizbeth (the pretty pink-haired lass) gather materials for his new sword. 

And it just so happens their adventure involves facing the wrath of a giant ice dragon on some high-leveled Floor. What do you think she's hiding from?

So this is pretty much how everything went down whilst they were fighting the humongous dragon.

Look at the third and fourth boxes on the bottom right and left. 

Doesn't Kirito look absolutely awesome?

You should see him in action. They warrant his awesome-ness much better than just these pictures.

Not to mention he just proved to me again that there is no reason for him to have a new sword since his current one is great enough. 

Quite unfortunately, something bad happens just as Kirito's about to deliver the final blow. Thanks to that, they get trapped in what they think is a contraption designed to kill them.

On the contrary, it was the dragon's nest that they fell into. Due to that, Kirito manages to find the crystal they were looking for.

The picture above was before she realized the crystal was the dragon's excrement (since the dragon eats crystals and digests them).

Obviously, the picture on the left was after she realized t'was the dragon's crap.

Either way, they got what they went there for, so all that was left was to figure out a way to get out of the hole.

That was when Liz (which is what she prefers to be called), has a revelation (or rather, she remembered) that dragons were nocturnal creatures. Thus, the dragon returns and Kirito saves the both of them by using the dragon to jump out of the hole.

Honestly speaking, I didn't fancy this part of the episode. Looked fake.

Ooh, and she also confessed to him here.

He didn't hear it, though. Kirito's one of those ultimately dense, retarded main characters who reminds me of Kenshin (from Rurouni Kenshin), in a way.

Oh, and Otani (from Lovely Complex).

That aside, after they got out safely from the hole and Floor, Kirito and Liz went back to her shop.

Cool sword, eh?

After the two of them arrived back at Liz's sword shop, she quickly got started on Kirito's sword. He was there to witness the whole sword-making process and thought it was incredible.

Apparently, Liz "poured all her soul and love for him" into the sword and told herself that if he liked it, she would confess.

Quite unfortunately, before she had the chance to, Asuna burst into the shop and wrapped her arms around...

... Liz.

What would I give for her to suddenly declare her love for Kirito in this episode but too bad for me, Asuna was worried about her best friend.

Her sudden inability to call/message/track her made her unbelievably worried. She didn't even realize Kirito was standing there until Liz said she was with him.

And that's when she realized that Asuna and Kirito have a little somethin'-somethin' going on between them. Being the supportive best friend that she is, she decided to give up on Kirito and encourage Asuna to be a little more truthful with her feelings instead.

And this is what she ended up looking like after she left her shop. Kirito found her soon after but she had already made up her mind about giving up, but only after Kirito promised to drop by every now and then if he needed any maintenance done on his sword.

And that sums up the entire episode. It was short and didn't span two episodes like the previous two, but I guess it was alright.

:)

I'm looking forward to the next episode more, though. Why?

It's called:

Black & White Sword Dance!!

That can only mean one thing: It's dedicated to Kirito (black sword) and Asuna (white sword)!!
