EPISODE REVIEWS
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.
This felt like a classic MMORPG dungeon crawl, complete with annoying boss mechanics and a high-stakes ticking clock. Watching the group solve the minotaur fight was satisfying, but honestly, Klein just had to free the NPC, didn't he? A solid, fun dungeon run; don't skip!
The cinematography in this episode is good, and even the soundtrack and sound effects used are effective in the battle scene of the quest. A few animation drops, but it's not that drastic. Klein saving the NPC named Freyja is a meme-worthy scene and a funny scene.
