I'm surprised nobody notices that Kirito's landing is a reference to the motorcycle scene of Akira. That scene has been referenced even in western cartoons. I think people don't notice it because the original scene has a motorcycle in it but upon rewatching Kirito's landing multiple times I noticed Kirito's feets leaves the same trace as the wheels of the motorcycle. It looks cool :p

Yah I love Sinon’s voice too! Very calming imo

Agree that Yuuki’s voice actor is really awesome. I also really like Sinon’s voice. I don’t know why but it stands out for me for some reason.

Regarding reacting to the opening on stream, note that at least the opening (think the ending is the same?) is different in this arc and the previous Excalibur arc. It’s the same song but different visuals, just so you know if you don’t want to miss that. (It’s also sung by Asuna’s voice actor, who sang the very first ending in Aincrad arc as well)

sotossss-nya

And for one more time Kirito show us this sexy side that get him he's huge harem of beauty's 😎😂

Adaption Notes for Episode 20 ---Asuna and Yuuki flying to the 27th Floor was not shown. ---In the novel, Yuuki had forgotten to ask Asuna for her name. Thus, when she tried introducing Asuna to her guild, she had to ask for her name first, causing her guild members to fall to their chairs. ---In the novel, Yuuki did not tell Asuna why she was brought to meet the Sleeping Knights, thus causing another misunderstanding when she realised it. ---The Sleeping Knights did not mention that they traveled through numerous games to find the most gorgeous one to leave their memory in. ---Asuna's mother's disapproval of Asuna heading outside and her attempt to stop her were omitted. ---The journey to the Labyrinth was omitted. ---In the novel, the scout party's leader was one of the two Imp players, instead of the Sylph player.

Adaption Notes for Episode 19 ---Asuna and Kirito's conversation about recreating the taste of the Ragout Rabbit stew was omitted. ---Asuna and Kirito's conversation about purchasing a house on Selmburg and later about Agil's Item Shop was omitted. ---A word in Asuna's question about Yuuki spending a lot of time in the virtual world was changed from waste player (廃プレイヤー, Hai pureiyā?) to heavy user (ヘビーユーザー, Hebī Yūzā?). ---In the novel, Yuuki asked Asuna if she was busy after their duel before leading her away. Thus Asuna willingly followed Yuuki and also had the time to tell the others that she would contact them later. ---Kirito was not shown to have predicted that Asuna would be going away with Yuuki.
