SAO Dual Wielding Kirito

Posted by Neko Kyou in Personal on September 5th, 2012

Sword Art Online gets better and better with every passing episode. Every new episode ends up as my favourite. Watching the anime, reading the Light Novel and manga at the same time, it’s like I just can’t get enough of it.

So many different emotions, so many awesome moments. Kawahara Reki is a genius, and the production teams producing all these different contents are doing great justice to the series so far.

Episode 9 finally revealed Kirito’s trump card – dual wielding.

Kirito vs The Gleam Eyes displayed one of the best fight scenes ever. The speed of the battle and the accompanying BGM was pretty much perfect. In a word, it was epic. And I just couldn’t help but combine a few screenshots to create this full image of Kirito’s dual wielding stance.

The image is about 5mb with a resolution of 1920×2410. Click for the full image. Enjoy!

You might also find a little something interesting on the image too x3~

Sword Art Online – My New Love

Posted by Neko Kyou in Thoughts on July 27th, 2012

Yes, I have a new love. It’s Sword Art Online. There has only been 3 episodes so far, the story jumps forward rather fast with a lot of holes missing here and there but it doesn’t stop me from loving. every. single. moment. of. it.

I love the .hack series. It was, and still continues to be, an awesome series. It marked the beginning of my love for MMORPG related series. That was Accel World had me super excited. Any good MMORPG themed stories would make me squeal with delight.

Then came, from the same brain behind Accel World, yet another MMORPG themed show. This time, it also features plenty of swords – my favourite weapon. I already knew I would enjoy Sword Art Online even before watching it, but actually watching it just made me fall in love all over again with the genre.

From the tiny bits of information I’ve picked up here and there so far (trying not to spoil too much for myself) it seems that Sword Art Online is only the start of a longer series – with the protagonist Kirito venturing into other VR-MMORPG games after SAO has been completed. With the light novel series still on-going, we might be in for a long and fulfilling ride.

But what if you weren’t a fan of .hack or Accel World? Would you still enjoy it? The only thing I can really say is to give it a go. Unlike .hack, the plot (so far) is much less complicated and moves at a faster pace. It also have a heavier atmosphere than Accel World, where true death awaits you even in a game.

Fortunately, Baka-Tsuki have a translation project going on for Sword Art Online which has gone pretty far. I probably won’t be touching that for a while since I want to enjoy the anime a bit more 😀
