Joint with GotWoot Fansubs.
The studio decided to go full troll with the character names (Godfree? Seriously?), so please note the following name changes:
- Yoruko –> Yolko
- Schmidt –> Schmitt
Lisbeth’s side story is up next, and should be the last side story before the “main arc” kicks in. Let’s see how they do with this one.
Yay, it’s finally out. Thanks for the release!
Waitin’ on SD now.
Are there any more side stories after Lisbeth?
Thanks, as always. :>
Thanks for SAO 6!
Wouldn’t them doing Lisbeth’s story completely spoil [spoiler]Kirito’s special ability?[/spoiler]
Thanks for the episode.
Nice! Thanks very much!
Anyone know how long this series is going to be? 12 or 24 episodes? More?
Why don’t both you and Gotwoot upload the HD versions to your respective nyaa.si accounts? When the partner that uploads the HD version doesn’t upload near the same time, it screws with my RSS feeds.
@Sinon: Yes, probably. But we don’t actually get to know much about it, if they properly go by the novels. As the name of the skill is not really mentioned, either.
Disregard my comment – I feel like an idiot now.
You post Gotwoot’s upload, uTorrent’s RSS feeds for OS X just suck at updating.
Thanks utw and gotwoot for release! Wonder how this side story is going to turn out for the main arc, considering side stories came out after main story.
Thanks, looking forward to watching! 😀
there’s one more side story after lisbeth’s one well that is in the middle of the main story. and the ep are about 20+. I dun tink 20+ eps are only for SAO. probably going to include the next one, Lyfa
Seriously… The fuck is the main story only just kicking in after next week? Could somebody give us a spoiler free synopsis of the ‘main story’? How does it differ from what we’ve been getting, what we’ve had to date could of easily been entwined in a ‘main story’ does something happen that becomes a complete new focus and change the whole pace of things or something? Or does it just slow down and focus on them actually making progress through the last of the floors?
well you don’t need to change Yoruko -> Yolko
I think Yoruko is better than “Yolko”, seriously was there anyone named Yolko???
and Schmidt is better, if you change it become schmitt, it become less attractive, why don’t you change schmidt -> Smith ???
I think that’s better
OMG SO AWESOME!
Thanks so much for the episode!
PLEASE HAVE A GOOD NIGHT AND A GOOD WEEKEND!
by speed of how things are going, i have a feeling that fairy dance is going to be included in the series. If that happens, i think this is going way too fast for the anime. Though this is solely based on my opinion as a light novel reader 😀
@ Atticus Lee: (Update) XviD will be stalled until mid-week probably, I have to reinstall windows from scratch and thus can’t encode – ar. (From Accel World 18 post)
@Sinon:
[spoiler]As long as they leave out the scene at the end of the side story where he actually shows it to Lisbeth, it wouldn’t really spoil anything. Even leaving in some of the less direct references or hints to it wouldn’t outright spoil it, since without that last scene it’s something that mostly only people who already know about it would be likely to pick up on.[/spoiler]
Glad to get this! The Crunchyroll subs for this week were somewhat inadequate…
They actually did a good job on rewrite in this ark, yes it was cut short and a lot of it been change around from the LN but nicely done.
Will SAO SD be stalled to?
Thanks for the release!
@asdfjuma: The ‘main story’ is much more slow paced. So far we’ve been getting timeskips, I think to show the events chronologically. It is going to be about Asuna and Kirito and the clearing of the last few floors (kind of)
@BloodyEmber
Yes, because everybody hates encoding XviD’s besides me, so with me being the only XviD encoder, XviD’s for Accel and SAO are stalled until i get my encoding pc up and running properly.
There´s still the Yui side storie at least i hope they do it but she is in the opening so they are going to do it.
god, why would u troll with the character names…
if this is gonna keep up for next week as well, could you guys add a 2nd subtitle with the proper names pls
“Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship” :3
Ok…
Adapting with major/minor adjustment to the original storyline ~ It’s annoying but it’s still acceptable to my level of expectation. Although they did cut short of Grimlock’s revelation and his ulterior motivation. Also, they doesn’t reveal the name of the three members of Laughing Coffin.
Changing the spelling of the character ~ I’d cringe so much that I feel I wanna flip a table.
The Lizbeth’s arc is somewhere similar to the way the adapted Silica side story. They would probably alter on how Lizbeth and Kirito meet, their quest and the conclusion of the story.
Oh, well. I can’t wait for main storyline to kick in ’cause most the side stories are kinda so-so except for one or two decent ones.
arite, for all those novel readers, are there anything in the novel that they didn’t include in this arc? any small details or event would be delightful.
@asdfjuma: Yeah the main story is actually the beginning of the end of the story really… what we’ve been getting so far is the side stories that the author wrote after the SAO story was written (albeit in chronological order, most of the SAO side stories were not written to appear in order)… so we should get after next week the main story plus one more side story worked into the main story then back to the main story after that….
Just as a side note, if you like this story you should read the Light Novel (as the saying goes books are always better than the movies), however finding the chronological order that you should read it in is kinda obscure since they are not bundled into the same volume…plus its not all totally translated (I mean the SAO side stories)
Sorry to infodump, but I usually look into things that I find interesting, and I can understand that it is confusing to hear that these are all just side stories, however they are not technically useless filler, just a back-story since the main story has a really big gap in time.
There’s still the Yui side story, yes, but that takes place in the middle of the main part of the story, rather than during the timeskip like all the one’s they’ve shown so far. I’m sure her story will get an episode too, considering her importance for later things and the fact that she’s in the opening.
.
In terms of this episode (and the previous one), they did cut a fair amount out, but I think they did a pretty good job of bringing it together regardless. There’s one scene in particular it was really a good choice to skip, since it involves a character we haven’t really seen yet, and whose real introduction would really be best left to where it was in the original story. I am somewhat disappointed at the lack of the whole ramen thing, though that’s not really a big issue.
I’m willing to wait for the SD version. Thanks ar for providing SD releases.
@ar
ok..i can wait bro..
I hope they’re going to put in the fishing story… hehe
I really think the design for the laughing coffin emblem is poorly made by the studio.
Side stories…. main story. Differences? Um….. what were they again…. the main story is more about them actually clearing the floors and that path. The side stories are the breaks in between. Even the side stories are relevant though. I guess the main story is the plot from ep1…
And the series is reported to run 26 eps and cover vol 1, 2, 3, 4 and maybe 8.
That side story was crap
Thanks for the subs guys.
I doubt they would cut the fishing bit out but if they did I would be very sad :(.
holy shit endcard = Sweet Ass Online
@Sven
what CR subs? are you a time traveler from next week? there’s no CR “simulcast” for SAO 6 until August 18th
unless you mean HS’s troll subs
is there any v2 for ep 5 due the name changed? or v2 when batch?
I think Kains real name is Caynz (from LN) but I don’t mind whatever UTWoots use. although in anime there’s no story about checking 1st floor :p
Thanks for the release.
In the future I suggest you stay with the original spelling for the names instead of changing them to something that 1) sounds worse 2) isn’t accurate – just because ‘the studio is trolling’. Actually in this case, you’re the ones trolling since the script-writer/artist w/e has all the power in the world to name the characters to whatever s/he wants to call them.
This was THE FIRST release from ANY fansub group (save for ARR) that I had to edit myself.
thxxx. i love Asuna x kirito 😛
Bloody hell! They twisted parts on this second segment again.
[spoiler]
Firstly, design for Johnny Black is totally wrong since he’s suppose to have the gunnysack on his head with 2 holes to see through, as per art design in the volume.
Next is where he and PoH was suppose to have a conversation.
Another is when XaXa was impressed with Kirito’s riding and talked to him.
Lastly, the part where Grimlock was suppose to be “revealed” is mainly because of Yoruko’s announcement of the two rings being bound to the owner’s equipment, and not just skipped.
[/spoiler]
Too much skipping along. And I’m guessing that they aren’t gonna show the LC’s extermination event too. Suppose to be a major event too, even though they didn’t have a story about it.
@Charkelle
but the Ramen part is one of the most important side stories in this series! expecially the
[spoiler]post-marriage ramen binge to discover the chef’s identity[/spoiler]
😀
@canzer
quite some, such as the way Cainz/Kains was named (ie. looking at that big black tablet where people’s names get crossed over when they die), or …. well, the “almost-ramen” meal with … another important character.
to be fair, the essence of the story was well preserved, though small details were disregarded (for time constraints, since they seem to be gunning for completion of the Aincrad arc and the Fairy Dance arc as well for this season).
…Schmitt? Seriously?
I hope you realize that Schmidt is an actual surname in Germany. I don’t know if Schmitt is used anywhere.
I dont really like the name changes, I think its simply unnecessary.
Like I said before, it’s a derpy episode for all LN reader. herp.
@Sinon sure would.. not to mention [spoiler]your name itself is a spoiler for GGO 😀 and I’m kinda disappointed with the adaptation having read the LN since ep1 aired, esp since Heathcliff didnt get to show up here.. guess I just have to put up with it until ALO and that duel with Eugene FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFGAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR[/spoiler]
The last frame was interesting
Subtitle error in this episode.
15:27
or because you were lucky.
or because you were lucky.
It is doubled up.
:/
omg wrong post sorry disregard the post I just posted fail.
Please fix Yolko with Yoruko. A v2 is needed… In episode 5 she is called Yoruko…
Yolko and Schmitt, lol. Couldn’t help but cringe a little every time I read the names.
And holy fuck- look at all the (important!) stuff they cut out. Totally made the story lose its charm by doing that.
Well, still thanks for the release, UTWoots. Much appreciated. <3
@カノト
[spoiler]Now you’ve made me curious with your ramen comment. I tried to remember but I can’t recall the chef’s discovery. I’m currently reading novel 8 (ALfheim side-story) so has that yet to happen or did I simply forget it?[/spoiler]
Honestly, don’t go bashing UTW for using the official spelling of names as shown in the anime
I fixed episode 5 to the needed names from episode 6. Now all good. However i find the studio’s decision to change names in episodes dependent from each other more than silly.
I liked the subs… (they are far better than HS), but I have problems with the display of the karaoke. They sort of appear and disappear really fast. What codecs should I use with MPCH?
Thanks in advance.

@Enz Is in one of the Material Editions, Doujins published by the author. More specifically, Algade Showdown, the 6th ME.
Now I can see that the karaoke is nicely done. Thank you Olexijl !
@2who: Thanks, buddy. Looks like I’ll have to read the author’s other works as well after catching up to the current story.
Thanks! 😀
“Yolko”
Sounds like Russian word. (fir-tree)
Prankster in the studio detected, lol
Thanks! 😀
Fuck you Raze, my last name is Godfrey!
That’s what Japanese “Engrish”.
@Enz
it’s actually in the ME and not in the volumes per se.
specifically ME6:Algade Showdown
http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Sword_Art_Online:ME6
Similarly, that few-seconds worth of footage of Asuna demanding that the NPC’s be sacrificed to beat a monster is also a part of the ME, specifically ME1: The Progressors
(it’s actually a manga, and it’s not in the bakatsuki page but it was in a downloadable PDF)
Somehow the whole sidestory feels different from the LN Version. It was a good watch but somehow I’m dissappointed.
[spoiler]
They cut out so much, it really hurts although it was done pretty good. I’ll also admit I really hoped for some tsundere moments from Asuna but even when they talked about the marriage system is was more like she was just angry.
Considering Lizbeth is next I wouldn’t really be suprised if they just showed how they meet, the fight with the dragon and how they get out and the sword gets forged eventually. They might skip the whole romance part alltogether which would totally change the sidestory again.
I know LN readers have been bitching about the adaptation for a while but can you really blame them? From changing names, scenes and cutting out whole parts or adding others like the friend request from Asuna in this episode, it really just feels a lot different from the LN. Should be understandable that we hoped they would stick to the original a little more.
[/spoiler]
have to agree with some others here about the names…. yoruko > yolko and schmidt > schmitt. esp. with schmidt, coz this name is legitimate and one of the widespreadest names here in germany (besides müller, maier/meyer and such^^). so, can’t understand the change ._.
Thank you for the episode again ^^
And special thanks for the picture at the end this time :p
@カノト
Sorry to bother you but would you mind giving me a little recommendation on how to read the novels; in which order, that is. I take it it’s best to finish the 10 current novels first and then read the side novels or the MEs first? Skipping them completely doesn’t seem to be a wise decision since they apparently have little bits of information worth knowing as a fan. Thanks. (:
The way they said it, the name sounded like “Yoruko” to me, so I don’t understand the decision to change it. Thankfully, the character probably won’t appear again, so we won’t have to worry about it in the next episodes.
in the LN Raws, KoB was stated as “Knights of the Blood” (the name was written in English, Kawahara spelled it out). note the “the”. i recommend changing “Knights of Blood” into “Knights of the Blood” for accuracy’s sake.
Thanks guys! Since it’s in chronological order the shock of the laughing coffin players is reduced somewhat. Still not bad what they are doing.
Yolko.
Hope the BD changes it back to Yoruko.
Sorry for being lazy ass, and not checking comments. Any decisions on Amagami SS+ specials?
Btw, something not very related. Since Fate/Zero and Dusk Maiden Amnesia finished, is it time to change the options in the “Best girl” poll?
Obviously Grimlock never heard of Iri if he named his waifu the perfect waifu.
Btw, since the anime managed to “mess” stuff up. Did Griselda die or not?
thanks for the subs. can anyone confirm the # of eps that SOA will have? i heard 25 but havnt been able to find any credible sources (wiki says 25 but ANN says 12 :s ). plz point me to your reference if possible.
thanks
SAO*
[spoiler]Meh, I wanted XaXa’s remark about horses, I know it’s useless without having the GGO-arc first, but I still wanted it ~w~. IMO, this side-story should’ve been skipped, people will probably recognize the skull mask if they ever animate Phantom Bullet and it’ll lose impact along with the revelation of Laughing Coffin during that arc, I just hope this is not their way of saying “There won’t be another season”[/spoiler]
They better announce a 2nd season afterwards, I want my Sinon animated >w> Sinon is MAI WAIFU!!
But Schmidt is a legitimate name. You could have just as well turned it into Smith for the same effect :/
ok, i’m sorry for being a bit hasty about the names. should’ve watched the ep first >.<
at 10:04 asunas friendlist clearly shows that a-1 (or whoever was in charge for the names) tl'ed yoruko with yolko and at 10:44 you can see that they used schmitt instead of schmidt. sorry ;_;
Romantic and Plastic ^^
Apparently, Kirito is not exactly “The Black Horseman,” now is he? That dismount really screwed his grand entrance to save the day.
I feel the raging from the LN readers, but honestly folks, this anime is doing great for an SAO noob like me. I’m definitely buying the BDs and any other official English media I can get my hands on when the broadcasts are done.
Thanks muchly to UTW/GotWoot for birthing and feeding my new addiction. I’m so enthralled that I watch every fansub, and yours is the best.
@blak the trailers clearly said it would be a 2 season broadcast so at least 24 episodes will air,
myanimelist.net also has 24 eps and the wiki has 24.
so i think it’s safe to say that SAO will have 24 episodes.
For those who have read the LN: is there a chance of a second season or a spin-off? The story-line and the side stories seems too amazing to only 25 episodes…
from CR: appx 25-26 episode
Nice episode, even though they cut out the
[spoiler]
thrash talking part between kirito and laughing coffin. They also skipped the eternal storage trinket part and asuna’s tsundere moment regarding the “marriage” part.[/spoiler]
haven’t read the LN, so I have to say I absolutely loved the resolution to this 2 parter.
Please don’t use spoiler-charged names. Name changed.
I haven’t read the LN but I find their choice of names to be excusable if they don’t contradict LN directly. Since they’re in the game, they can name their avatar whatever they want and most of them are Japanese players so it might be their preferred stylistic choices no matter how weird they seems to be…
anyway, thx for the great show.
Just wait till we get to Kuradeel…
Blah, that’s so messy. Though Yolko is still worse…
hey where’s the SD version?
Hmmm, the episode was adapted quite well IMO. LN Reader here and aside from Starless Night, I don’t think the anime has adapted things too badly at all. In fact,
[spoiler]The fact that they try to cover up how Red-Eye Xaxa looks like and not mentioning the horse thing, might be a better hint that the studio might hope to do GGO someday. By trying to obscure him as possible and not mention the horse-riding comment, they might be trying to make the reveal about him not so easy. If it went just as the LN did, GGO’s mystery would fall apart so fast that it would probably hurt it.[/spoiler]
@archdevil917
It’s stalled at stuff not being done on the Karaoke guys side.
sd,avi version where?
Thanks for the great subs…I read the LN and this did clear how things suppose to look like… ^^
Any links for the sweet endcard picture?
The problem was hardsubbing of 10:05 (where Asuna looks at geoposition of Yolko). If this would be softsubbed in the subtitles file, i would change it simply.
After that i would replace the names to Yoruko – Schmidt…
@funnel
Sweet Ass Online = http://i.imgur.com/ToYg2.jpg
Were their names already in English in the RAW?
To those whining about the change in names to Yolko and Schimitt, UTWoots only changed them because the raws had the english names spelled that way. Yolko when Asuna is checking her friend’s list at about 10:04 and Schmitt when he looks at his HP bar after being hit by paralysis at about 10:46.
If you don’t like the changes, blame the studio, not the sub group.
great ep, but seriosuly i cant wait for Liz’s side story next~ Liz is so much better than Asuna in my opinion.
well anyways. i wonder if the net oen will be one or two episodes? judging by the other side stories i guess one, but i think this side story especially would work reeally well as a 2-episode one, sicne you could make a perfect cut at the scene where they SPOILER have to spend th night in the Dragon’s nest. let the episode end when they fall asleep, let the next oen begin when they awake again.
I wish the Lizbet side would be 2 eps, but that’ll probably be wishing for too much. Can’t wait for the main story to kick in. [spoiler]Can’t wait for the whole family to be together on floor 22.[/spoiler]
Even though these are side stories, I find them very enjoyable. It gives me chills just thinking about how mind blowingly boss the main story will be. Me thinks they will just keep turning out seasons of this over the next few years… its incredibly popular.
@Enz
on the off-chance you’re still reading this:
all the Material Edition doujins except for one are related to the Aincrad arc. the exemption is ME5:Salvia, which is pretty much a post-Fairy Dance side story (and pre-GGO for that matter) without much plot relevance (though it’s still warm and fuzzy and more content is always fun to read).
As for the Side Stories…
you might want to read Aria in the Starless Night (the second episode), Rondo of the Transient Sword (it’s pretty much a 2nd floor side story), and Sound of Water (the next ep) first before the material editions, but only AFTER reading the Aincrad arcs.
as for volume 8, feel free to read A Murder Case (this ep and the previous), and First Day. You can read Caliber after finishing Volume 7 only
as for Caliber SS, it’s pretty much an alternative-ending to Caliber SS, so don’t read it until you’ve read Caliber (which you can’t read until finishing Volume 7 anyway hahaha).
as for the Accel World cross-over… well, maybe after volume 10 is over? heh. at least read it only when you’ve finished started volume 9, since I think it has something to do with the Alicization arc, although I haven’t really read it yet and I’d rather not until I actually read Accel World LNs first)
one thing is for sure though, don’t read There is but one ultimate way yet, since the Alicization arc is far from over (there are several volumes in the pipeline according to the author’s notes, plus vol 10 hasn’t been translated into english yet [at least in baka-tsuki]).
> Sorry for being lazy ass, and not checking comments. Any decisions on Amagami SS+ specials?
Shameless bump.
Well, I’m fine with waiting for the SD version. Thanks for informing us.
Looks great. Thanks for the scan.
Thx for the SD version bro :))

Next episode preview:

Finally, he’s using his main equipment. And from the trailer, the first part of episode stay true to the original material. Then again, it might turn out like episode 4. :3
I don’t know if someone already wrote this (if so, I’m sorry):
there is no SAO episode this week, episodes 7 and 8 will be released together on August 25th in a 60 minutes show. Check the official website for further informations.
@zen
It only affect MBS airing program. Other stations so far will air Episode 7 this week.
@AMg
Ok, thanks for the info. ^^
What happened to GotWoot? i’ve been getting “Error establishing a database connection” for the past 4 days?
I ask you because of your online marriage to them within SAO… wait, you killed them didnt you?
;D
but seriously D;
@Anifan
One of their hardware got fucked up I think.
“willing to bet my virginity on it” nice troll, need a v2.. >_>
Is it Lisbeth or Lizbet? The books that I’ve been reading over the past week have all said Lizbet (up to and including Sword Art Online Volume 6 – Phantom Bullet, just starting 7+).
Actually, Sound of Water, Sound of Hammer (Aincrad 48th Floor August 2024) says Lizbeth, though it appears to be the same person.
nice :>
Well, thus far (including ep 7) they are doing fairly well in skipping spoilers at least.
I’ve read vol.1 and just from the title of side storys in vol.2, i figured out this Inner Area Accident isn’t in the book.
So anybody know where it came from?
