Anime didn't do a good job at showing how Quinella only lost because she did not expect Kirito's sword to hurt her.
At not point did Kirito overpower Quinella. He was going to 100% lose the duel with Quinella.
It was just Quinella's arrogance and she took Kirito's challenge to challenge him head on, basically got baited to fight Kirito head on, one last time, even though she had already won.
Basically, I felt like the anime didn't show very well how much Kirto was struggling against Quinella.
What the fuck even was that ending? Why did cutie patootie brown hair Cardinal commit suicide to "save" them only for them to continue fighting after the fact. Why was Eugeo's sudden divine inspiration on how to solve everything to turn into a fucking sword? How was he able to solo them after turning into a sword? Why did Kirito's eyes suddenly turn yellow? Is it just his asspull mode? How did that clown survive his fucking heart being gouged out? How does cutting power to the ST amplify the emotions Kirito's feeling? This is just the beginning, isn't it?
The anime does try to make Kirito more of a self-insert by making his design more generic (as opposed to being an trap), and even making some of his losses less apparent. Like how the anime tried to insinuate that Kirito could have beaten Yuuki in their rematch (via that dumb timeout), even though the novel had her straight up beat him.

So how does the quinellafags feel about their wife being burnt to death by the clowncucks flames of passion?
Bentley Robinson
They're self-inserting as the clown.

The anime also fucks up a lot of his characterization by axing his monologues. Making him seem more generic. I think Alicization has done a better job there than previous season, but it might just be because the source material is better and it's obviously not quite there regardless.
The anime basically didn't showcase Kirito's guilt in relation to Eugeo's death at all, but I guess that should be clear enough when he's shown cuddling with swords. Higa explains it pretty clearly as well if I remember correctly.
Nicholas Myers
How brave.

We all know Alicization first half was one of the most blandest and boring arc so far it's like the studio give up on it midway, and jthe animator can't be bothered anymore and only spend a bit effort to make decent animation of the only decent thing that happen so far, quinella
Why does the anime try to make us feel bad for her?
Easton Miller
It's the opposite. The first half were promising with new characters, decent opening and hopes for a nice story. In the end we got a few boring fights, half assed rape scene and a bunch of literally whos. The last """fight""" is garbate too. Even genereric haremshit has a better plot nowadays.
Josiah Powell
this was so anti-climatic compared to ass-pull they could have ever imagined Kirito to do
Dylan Phillips
Sao is all about a one guy walking around and doing nothing. Oh hey, let's go save this chick for a change. Oh hey, let's enroll into sword academy and rekt some nobles Oh hey, let's save the world as well, i mean why not. Asuna, go make me some pizza, gonna finish this kusoge in a few days.

>It's the opposite. No it's not >The first half were promising with new characters >new characters random literal who #8539 plot device with zero personailty, all of them dying midway, literally who cares? >decent opening and hopes for a nice story more like isekai wannabe with boring ass story >In the end we got a few boring fights I agree, Alicization was boring as fuck, there's almost no action whatsoever >half assed rape scene I agree, rape scene was one of the only good thing about Alicization >bunch of literally whos. Yups, Alicization suffer heavily from this, SAOfans doesn't want all of these literal whos we want our main cast back >The last """fight""" is garbate too Yep, the last fight is not even decent, it sums up the first half of Alicization well, it was a fucking drag >Even genereric haremshit has a better plot nowadays. Yep
I think there was a SAO game prior to alicization. Is it good?
Chase Baker
There is a fuckload of SAO games. And no they haven't been all that good. If you wanna play them it should be because you really like the franchise and characters. Cause gameplay-wise they fucking blow.

If metal objects won't pierce her then the only way to penetrate Quinella is to make Kirito beat his meat in her.
John Gomez
As shown by Goblin Slayer, Japanese people have just as much fascination with knight-style characters (Especially waifus) and medieval Europe as westerners do with feudal Japan and samurai.
Lincoln Thomas
Japan is obsessed with blonde girls, nothing new.
Carson Cooper
Not surprised, Alice is the only good waifu this season
>that wink I'm slightly annoyed that some of the databooks' expressions are insrted in the anime generally.
Daniel Hernandez
nothing wrong about askin for sauce fuck this board
Landon Foster
For a guy self-inserting as a girl is not straight at all.
Anthony Adams
>She claims there's nothing that she doesn't know about her world. >She can't tell that a sword isn't made of metal.

Hopefully the BD will be uncensored.
Logan Perez
I was so mad this scene and Kirito dreaming about taking Eugeo and showing him to his friends didn't make it. Also fuck now that the season is over I feel empty. It's been a while since I've felt like this.
Jacob Long
The better question is can Alice and Kirito stand up against the FGO Chads?
Connor Cox
if he were in his ggo avatar I would bet for a YES
