They found Tonki fighting a bigger monster, helped it, got caught by some monster-hunting players, helped tonki again, Tonki grew wings, and flew them out of there. I think they actually saw excalibur from far away on their way out, or something. They didn't come back until much later (that side story) in order to get excalibur. I think that's how it went... Check if u want.

Just re-read some of Fairy Dance, and they did get sucked down into J�tunheimr. I guess they skipped that for the anime because they need to wrap things up soon. There's only a few episodes left, and they needed to get Kirito and Lyfa to Yggdrasil quickly, then begin Asuna's escape attempts to correlate. It is a shame, though...

Pirate Wavemaster Posts: 10,690 Group: Clanless Member #375 Joined: September 18, 2008 Gender: XY Country: #226#	Spoiler: click to toggle Yeah, it does make sense to skip that part since it really has no relevance to this particular arc. But if the anime some how does well enough to continue long enough to see the excaliber side story, it'll be pretty funny to see how they handle it. I doubt it'll do that well though. >_>

I had always pictured it as a long, enormous, upward hallway of steep stairs with a "gate" at the end rather than the big cylindrical room with a "gate"/ceiling that was in the anime. Did anyone else picture the room differently?

An upward path that was filled with more and more enemies the deeper you got into it, until you got to the point where it's impossible to get through. Though, I will say, I like what they've envisioned for it. Really brings out the aerial combat that ALO goes for.

That gate. Those admin bastards... Some game devevelopers oughta get shot. Spoiler: click to toggle or stabbed in the eye ^_^

Seems like an interesting concept, and as much as I enjoy .hack, I can take this far more seriously because there's a reason to freak out over getting KO'd and stuff.

Pirate Wavemaster Posts: 10,690 Group: Clanless Member #375 Joined: September 18, 2008 Gender: XY Country: #226#	bah, it's a great series. But, as is the case with most animes based on light novels, the anime... leaves out a lot of details, and tries to be really flashy about everything, and goes by a timiline that kinda kills the mood of the story. >_>

Pirate Wavemaster Posts: 10,690 Group: Clanless Member #375 Joined: September 18, 2008 Gender: XY Country: #226#	The show has once again succeeded in making the viewers despise the villain even further. Ep 25 Normally I'd call what Kirito did to him excesssive, but he REEEEEEALY deserved it. My sister brought up a point about the anime. The story pacing of the SAO arc totaly sucked because of how rushed it was over its 2 year span, but the pacing of the ALO arc seemed/seems just right as it was set over like a week. LN ...Even if they did totally skip the underworld part. I miss Tonki ;_;

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Sugou had said that anything lower tthen 3 affects the real body. Sugou just felt the pain of being cut to pieces with no pain absorbed by the system. He is going to be hurting, badly.

I agree completely that Kayaba was a better villain, but Sugou undeniably evoked more anger from the viewers with his actions. That's all.
