This post will be image heavy as I wanted to comment on several highlights of this episode. :D Here in episode 17, we finally get to know more about the new main characters in this season. One of them is Leafa, a strong-willed girl who is knowledgeable around Alfheim Online. She reminds me of Link in the Zelda series because they have similar hair and outfit color not to mention that they are elvish. =) Leafa might be as well Link's female persona. xD Yeah, Leafa is pretty charming but I still prefer Asuna. :>
Leafa taught Kirito the basics of flying without the use of the controller. At first Kirito sucked at it then after a few swooshing and swinging around, he's starting to catch up with Leafa. As expected of the great beater Kirito-sama. xD
But only he didn't learn one of the most important things about flying, the way of proper landing. XD I really LOL-ed at this particular scene. xD Good thing Leafa knows basic healing spells.
Recon, Leafa's friend that we saw in the previous episode made an appearance again. Couldn't the maker of SAO thought of a better name? I feel sorry for Recon (Re-log in). Lol.
And sorry for bringing this up even I'm a girl haha, Leafa has big breasts. :3 I thought she was like Asuna. 8D *kidding*
I just confirmed in this episode that my hunch before was right. Leafa's real identity is none other than Suguha, Kirito's cousin. xD SAO's leaning towards some incest elements as Suguha's feelings for Kirito are somewhat obvious. @_@
And Asuna finally made an appearance as Alfheim's fairy queen, Titania and she's supposed to be that bastard Sugou's wife in the game. I used to think that maybe Asuna's memories in this game has been wiped out especially her memories of Kirito but thank God that was not the case.
On the other hand, Sugou is Alfheim's fairy king Oberon and the game master as well. He confessed to Asuna that his real intention in making the game is to have the players as experiment subjects. Sugou claims that he's conducting experiments about altering memories of a person and later on sell that technology to some American corporation. This bastard is so greedy and selfish I just want to beat him to a pulp.
Hurry Kirito, Asuna needs you.. :/
A bit late to the discussion, but I highly recommend overlord as well. Definitely not your typical VR Gaming anime swords.
