Karandi reviews and discusses anime.
Proving that more is not always better. There be spoilers below. I remember back when Sword Art Online had just begun. I remember the first episode of the Aincrad arc and just how quickly it seemed to pass by and how heavily the bombshell at the end of that episode fell. I remember rapidly skipping … Continue reading Sword Art Online Alicization Series Review
Sword Art Online Alicization Episode 24 Review - Um, so stuff.
Sword Art Online Episode 23 - Who would have thought that the first slightly developed male character outside of Kirito would end up sacrificing himself in a spectacular display of short sightedness and launch a mostly useless attack? Oh well, not like I expect any better at this point.

Sword Art Online Alicization Episode 18 Review - The focus this week is tightly on Eugeo facing the leader of the integrity knights (and former village legend) alone. This is the first time we've seen Eugeo on his own without Kirito's guidance, and he's up against a tough opponent. it's a fairly great character moment for the Eugeo as we see his choices this far up the tower.
Sword Art Online Alicization Episode 17 Review - Kirito and Alice are clinging on for dear life outside the tower and they've got a choice of climbing up or falling down. Can they make a truce long enough to get back into the tower? And what is going on with Eugeo?
