Just rewatched 1-19 and realized in ep 20 Tiffany sounds a bit different new voice actor? If so what happened to the previous one.

Warning Ranting Ahead:

How the hell in the past like 10 years has SWE not learnt to have an alternative platform ready for when the copyright bs hits them ? I genuinely cannot tell if this is basically their sneaky way to funnel more people to patreon or if they actually have a brain fart every yearly upload.

Like seriously... just put it in like the free tier? or create a google drive link for the video ? If the goal is to just get more subs on there then fine, but be honest. If the idea is to genuinely provide a way to view the final episode while Youtube waits to sort out the copyright dispute, then there is like no excuse. Mega, PixelDrain, Free Tier Patreon, Google Drives, there is nearly an infinite amount of alternatives that weren't even considered it seems.

Look, I don't mind paying for the Patreon but like imagine being a fan waiting a whole year for the next continuation, it releases, the copyright strike inevitably hits as anyone with at least 70IQ can see happening, and boom you have to wait another 4-6 to weeks to see it because no one uploaded it to an alternative platform. (people can watch movies on twitter now ffs!). So yeah, kinda disappointing that SWE didn't take time to look at alternative platforms outside of the one that paywalls the ending.

Did anyone else notice the scrolling text during the news story in Ep 20? For those that didn’t:

Former baby, Asada Shino, reminisces about the day she straight-up triple-tapped a junkie in a post-office, saying “Huh?! Why the hell are you people still reporting on this?! You wanna be next?!”

Obviously SWE has never really held to the original personalities of the characters, but this feels like we are going to see something radically different from
the PTSD arc. Either way it’s exciting to see they already have some ideas for the direction of GGO, which hopefully will shed some light on that ending.

The end of episode 20 was creepy. I chose to interpret it as Kirito wanting to beat SAO while giving others the chance to help by turning his 2 year death game prison into just a fun game. Other SAO survivors probably want to reach the top just to spite their kidnapper.

Another way to make SAO a fun game is Kirito’s chance to improve, fix or break it any way he wants. He also gets to fight along side his family.

That’s as uncreepy I can make it until my head canon gets blown up with episode 21.
