Review of Sword Art Online: Alicization - War of Underworld Part 2
Sword Art Online: Alicization - War of Underworld 2nd Season Well, the first part of this war was already a disappointment, but to bring this to a new level is something you didn't see coming. Not sure how many times I joked about what we watched and what happened this season. If anyone has experience with Kingdom Hearts Writing and the Youtube Channel "Just a Pancake", that person will know what I'm getting at. This season is a pure definition of "Random Bullshit Go" "That's not even my Final Final Form" and "Okay I believe you" - these 3 memes represent the entire plot of thisseason. And having Simito fight the Anti-Miller at the end made me completely cry. How and why did one almost end in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann? What's with the ending of Alice? Why, why, why?
The ending of this war had the potential to deliver one of the BEST dramatic scenes there could be, but it was ruined and spat on while it was still on the floor. God's sake such potential and then just "Nah Timeskip".
Well, this season follows directly from the previous one and the war enters its final round. The season starts with the best and most epic battle of the whole season so far. Bercoulli not only had one of the most interesting skills seen in Shounen but also a good execution of it and a massively dynamic fight. Honestly, I was shocked at what I saw, every single moment of this fight was breathtaking. Not only visually, but also in terms of pure dynamics.
Unfortunately, this was the only standout performance of the entire season.
Right after this spectacle, the plot continues to revolve around some poorly written war that makes no sense whatsoever and feels more like the never wanted Digimon season where everyone goes to the Digiworld to fight a war. To make matters worse, the villains are endlessly overpowered, always having a new buff that makes them even stronger. Each character has a boss rush moment to show how cool they are, only for the boss to show that they are not yet defeated and get stronger again. And this drags on until Kirito-Kami-kun wakes up and... the cycle continues.
In the end, there is a final fight between Simon and the Anti Spiral and yes. I honestly don't even know what else to say about it.
Conclusion 3
I'm anything but a fan of this series, but Sword Art Online still entertained me well enough. We used to sit and watch 2-3 episodes every night while we had dinner. It was alright, nothing great, just an average show to enjoy. But with this season it became one of the best comedies out there. It's a shame really, but making fun of it also had a certain charm.
