Sword Art Online: Alicization | Anime Review

The Soul Translator is a state-of-the-art full-dive interface which interacts with the user’s Fluctlight—the technological equivalent of a human soul—and fundamentally differs from the orthodox method of sending signals to the brain. The private institute Rath aims to perfect their creation by enlisting the aid of Sword Art Online survivor Kazuto Kirigaya. He works there…

Man, the remaining few episodes of Sword Art Online: Alicization have been extremely disappointing. This Administrator doesn’t seem like the final boss at all, if anything I think she’s more like a stepping stone to something even more sinister. Which would make total sense as there are two more seasons I have to get through….

Okay, so the later stages of Sword Art Online: Alicization are giving me serious SAO Season one, ALO vibes and not the good type of vibes. If you’re well versed in the first season of Sword Art Online, then you’d know that Nobuyuki Sugou is worse than scum in what he tried doing. The Administrator…

Alright, I’m going to be completely honest I was expecting something a little more epic than what I saw between Eugene and Bercouli Synthesis One. Like when every other before we got to Bercouli was epic and very well animated. You would think that the battle itself would be outright epic, but instead, Eugene makes…

Sword Art Online: Alicization | E13 through E16: Finally, some good stuff.

There’s a method to my madness here. Something I noticed early on with Sword Art Online: Alicization was that it seems as though every other episode is a setup episode followed by one of SAO’s signature fight sequences. It may not actually be every other episode is a fight scene, but it definitely feels like…

Sword Art Online: Alicization | E9 to E12 – Many thoughts in one place.

So I decided to do something I don’t normally do, which is provide my thoughts on four episodes. Episodes nine through twelve. I did this because, episodes nine and especially episode ten were episodes I disliked quite a bit. In large part due to the contents of the episodes, it just isn’t something I’m overly…

Sword Art Online: Alicization | Episode 7 and 8 Review

Right so I will admit, it’s been awhile since I’ve watched SAO: Alicization. It’s probably maybe a week, week and a half. I decided to be unwise this Fall 2021 season and watch even more anime than I did last season, furthermore, I wanted to get ahead. As a result, SAO: Alicization took a back…

Sword Art Online: Alicization | Episode 5 and 6 Review

I always knew that Kirito was a valuable person, but I never thought that he would be this valuable. Who would have thought that they (Seijirou Kikuoka) would go to great lengths to have Kirito’s body transported to an unknown facility, with top of the line security guarding them, only for Asuna to not only…

Sword Art Online: Alicization | First Impressions

I must say, getting back into watching Sword Art Online again has been refreshing. Being able to watch something else that isn’t ‘current’ and doesn’t feel like an anime that conforms to current trends in the anime world has been great. If you have followed me from the very beginning, then you’d know that SAO…

Sword Art Online: Alicization | Episode 3 and 4 Review

It’s crazy how some of the supporting cast resemble those from Kirito’s reality, like Selka looks weirdly similar to Asuna. But at this point, I do not know if he remembers her or anything from his past however, because the dude really gripped a sword that he had in SAO but he didn’t make that…
