Sword Art Online II
Oshimeter
Synopsis
A year after escaping Sword Art Online, Kazuto Kirigaya has been settling back into the real world. However, his peace is short-lived as a new incident occurs in a game called Gun Gale Online, where a player by the name of Death Gun appears to be killing people in the real world by shooting them in-game. Approached by officials to assist in investigating the murders, Kazuto assumes his persona of Kirito once again and logs into Gun Gale Online, intent on stopping the killer. Once inside, Kirito meets Sinon, a highly skilled sniper afflicted by a traumatic past. She is soon dragged in his chase after Death Gun, and together they enter the Bullet of Bullets, a tournament where their target is sure to appear. Uncertain of Death Gun's real powers, Kirito and Sinon race to stop him before he has the chance to claim another life. Not everything goes smoothly, however, as scars from the past impede their progress. In a high-stakes game where the next victim could easily be one of them, Kirito puts his life on the line in the virtual world once more.

Who doesn't Watch this?
In this episode, it is packed with several interesting action scenes, as a new character appears who may or may not be an ally, but possesses exceptional skills. Feeling of the game; it's a chapter that's a bit strange and mysterious, but it makes you want to see what happens with these characters and their mission.
After the first season, we might be wondering what happened to Kirito and Asuna and the real world after the various and horrible moments they had to live through in the game. However, even tho everything seemed to be over, new incomprehensible events begin to happen again, events that seem to be related once more to the gaming mafia. A NEW CHAPTER, NEW CHARACTERS, AND MYSTERIES THAT CAPTIVATE US AT ONCE.
Kirito is pretty. The way they have a different art style for their internal monologue is good. Kirito and Shino's dynamics are good. Kirito's logic doesn't apply to others. The pacing is just right. It may be a dialogue-heavy episode, but it serves the story building.
This is a dialogue and lore-heavy episode. The art style in how they express Shino's experience and emotions is good. The second half is the continuation of the cliffhanger of the last episode. Kirito is now entering the GGO. The ending scene adds mystery to the story.
Oh yeah, we’re so back! Tbh, I didn’t have high expectations for this ep. I knew it would be a setup, and I get that—it’s vital to the story. Yeah, it’s dialogue-heavy and lore-focused, but it sets up a darker season. I'd say watch it—for your own sake. Btw, Sinon is a badass.
I feel like this show is awesome. Yes it is a fantasy. But I dare say this could be considered a slice of life in the future. I mean look at the technology we have now. We are not far behind this at all. Give it a few maybe 5 more years and this is how games will be. But I also feel like that in and of itself is warning of what could happen. If we are not careful. What are your thoughts?
the s1 is more good than s2 i think
Anchored by a solid story, good visuals, & strong action, this is a good episode that highlights Kirito as he starts his journey in Gun Gale Online, and the ups & downs he faces while acclimating to the world of GGO.
This chapter is very emotional, perhaps a bit boring for some and important for others because it slightly breaks the dynamic we know about the virtual world and games. I recommend watching it because it's a good season finale and it gives us a very nice character development.
Zeke, the mysterious character from previous episodes, reveals a very sad chapter, but one that also gives us several life lessons; it's a chapter that some might consider filler, but it's lovely, even tho this character wasn't on screen for as long as the ones we already know.
At this moment, the series makes us understand, or rather, we understand that the games being played are not just that, but elements that can help the characters face real-life situations, how various lessons can be learned, and valuable bonds can be built.
Asuna and the new team are preparing to carry out their mission while she deals with other difficulties from the outside. We can also notice her leadership and strategic skills; however, something is going to happen that will leave them very surprised.
Asuna's life, totally in love with Kirito, but in real life, her home is completely the opposite, and while it's understandable why she feels the way she does; at the same time, I can't help but think about how many years she has to be involved in adult problems. I empathize a lot with her, but Kirito this season seems strange, or he doesn't seem to have the same chemistry as before; even though he is everything to her. In this chapter, there was a bit of action, but above all, the weight of reality, but also the power that Asuna carries within her.
We could say that this chapter is a bit of filler or perhaps the beginning of another mission; however, as it ended, it gives no indications of the latter. Likewise, it was nostalgic because we could remember some aspects of Kirito and Asuna's relationship, but also the reality of their lives outside of ALO.
Some unexpected things happened, like the appearance of a certain character, which was also funny and entertaining, but there are also some inconsistencies regarding the game, and although it's a game, some little details are changed for the sake of the plot. Still, it doesn't take away from the fact that it was a hopeful and lovely episode because of the protagonists' good hearts.
This mission started intense, as the time and the bosses to face seemed more distant, being one of the first chapters of this second part. However, everything happens very quickly and suggests that the mission, which seemed so complex, might not be that difficult after all.
It's a new theme in this second part. It seems that now everything will take place in ALO, with the search for a very important item for Kirito, where both old friends and Sinon, the new one, gather again. This episode gives a fresh air to what we had been seeing in the previous part, full of drama and violence, but only this first chapter, because what seemed like a quiet mission turned into something more.
It's a recounting of what happened throughout the series, more specifically from the moment Sinon met Kirito in the game, but from Sinon's perspective, her context, and emotions. It's a refresher for those who suddenly missed something important or don't remember how this first part of the season ended.
The conflicts go beyond the virtual, but now the outlook is different for the characters after the very stressful BoB experience. I'm a bit confused about the relationship between Sinon and Kirito, and although he is a pure and good soul as we've seen in the series, there are some questionable aspects, and if I mention this, it's because the emotional aspect is also important in the plot.
