Seeing all the characters we met in SAO in the real-world was actually pretty cool especially Kirito and Asuna. It was really nice to see the two finally spend the time together after the ALO incident. The two really do make a cute couple and it's nice to see them happy together, finally.

I like that everyone is going back to Aincrad. They can finally play the game like a game and no worries or so they think.

Definitely an enjoyable episode and nice end to the show. The ALO arc definitely was the weaker of the two (besides the BS at the end of the SAO arc) overall. What made it actually interesting was Sugu and her struggles.

Well this series definitely didn't end up as good as it had gotten to before, but I still enjoyed nearly all of it a pretty significant amount. I really liked seeing all of the SAO characters interact in real life, and the Seed makes for a pretty cool concept, and its use is similar to the internet itself in a nice way. Then, they drop SAO into ALO, and everyone from both worlds charges in to complete the game properly! Even though it ends with the clear beginning to much more, it didn't feel like as much of a setup for a second season as I expected. I figured it would end with some perilous new danger, capping off with an ominous announcement of a second season, but instead it was all pretty positive, and while I'm not at all surprised the story continues with this, and surely all does not go as planned, there's no real indication of that just yet.

It's finally over. Not a bad episode, and some parts (particularly the finale of the Sugou encounter) were actually kinda good.

The show was usually frustrating after about episode 9 and occasionally infuriating. The show is, in many ways, pretty terrible. Yet I'd be much less harsh on it and be willing to put up with a lot of the crap with some minor changes. I'm not sure whether I'd watch another season yet, and it would probably depend heavily on how much else I was watching, but at the moment, I'm leaning towards.... yes. I probably would.

Well, the final episode was relatively good. I prefer to have ended the show with an episode like this over an episode I really dislike and made me almost dropped the show. SAO was a show that at first I was thinking about importing but later on I was thinking about dropping... Will I watch a second season? At this point, I don't think so. This ending is fine...

Didn't he just have a case of (non-literal, or was it? ^^; ) pink-eye?
