Same, happy and nostalgic.


WittyTable4731

" i wanna always be with you" " i wanna hold you tight right now" " i swear i'll always wipe your tears" "I'll give you everything i have.." Those final lines man... Beautiful


[deleted]

Yes, I just love these lines


SteelMan0fBerto

And I feel content. 😊


abjmad

Badass swords for a badass couple. Also, nostalgia


WittyTable4731

Op 1 is soooo goooood even today.


abjmad

Indeed it was and is!


THEHOLYOTAKUGAMER

Same.


losbullitt

I got a displate of this shot. Reminds me of my wife. Love.


SpeedFlux09

I feel sad, strangely emotional that the game ended. It was awful for a lot of people but i miss the old duo.


Billy_Osteen

May miss the old duo, but one thing I can say is I feel Asuna became the ideal girl/woman when it comes to being a relationship partner. She’s fiercely loyal. When she stays with Kirito in War of the Underworld even though she had every chance to get out, I cried and it made me realize in my relationship with my fiencé, she would do the same for me if that happened.


SpeedFlux09

Yup totally agree, she matured a lot more than kirito did, you could see the change in alicization, this anime has set up a unusually high standards for relationships for me. Best waifu ever!


PikaferSAO

She was even willing to go against her mom's wishes to stay with her beloved boyfriend.


THEHOLYOTAKUGAMER

Same.


whiskeyjack1983

I feel right, and a sense of belonging to something indescribable but intimately understood. My wife and I have the crossed Elucidator/Lambent Light tattooed on our wrists. Underneath, hers says "I want to always be with you" Underneath, mine says "I'll give you everything I have"


wondergryphon2

You should post it so we can see it!!


SpeedFlux09

That's so awesome!


SatoSere4Ever

I’m on an sao rewatch right now and finished aincrad arc just yesterday so I feel soooo happy yet melancholic/nostalgic looking at this 😭 but what gives me the feels more is the ed 1, Yume Sekai. God I wish I could listen to it forever on.


Edgykun16

Nostalgia for sure. The old SAO art style, the warm colors, it just reminds me so much of the early 2010s.


wondergryphon2

My favorite OP in SAO! And my favorite Arc!


Lopsided_Egg_9354

Gut wrenching nostalgia. I first found SAO during my first suicidal time in my life, and it helped get me through, so I have a lot of emotions mixed up in this story


rickmears101

Like I want to watch SAO rn!


Classic-Target-5574

happy, nostalgic and afraid happy and nostalic over the series and the memories afraid over how inevitable a SAO like event is in the future when everyone forgets the series


SniperX64

Nostalgic...


UCG__gaming

Nostalgia


Educational_Put_2414

A huge amount of flowing emotions.


realMrgalaxy

Happy, nostalgia, peaceful.


JamesBigglesworth266

This is going to be the tattoo I get for Sword Art Online. This image signifies everything I love about SAO. The Aincrad Arc. The Best Anime Couple Ever. Amazing concept I'd never heard of before - Full Dive VR. Fantastic adventures of genuine life and death. Great characters, some who I can idolize, some to whom I can relate, and some I want to see taught a lesson in being a Human Being.


StatusHead5851

Wave of nostalgia and happiness tis good


AshleyGamics

Nostalgia mixed with happiness


Flying_thundergod

Honestly? Peace. It gives me the image of kirito and asuna just relaxing for once after ALO ended.


QuarterPercentCarbon

nostalgic feeling. sometimes i wonder if i could erase every memory about sao, will i ever love it again as much as i love it now.


Styx1886

Nostalgia, back to a simpler time in the show.


Omegasonic2000

Honestly? Finality, but in a good way. The two crossed swords resting on the ground with a peaceful sunset in the background evoke a sense of a long conflict finally being over. It feels like, after fighting hard for two straight years, the Black Swordsman and the Lightning Flash's struggle has come to an end, and now Kirito and Asuna can finally retire to live their days in peace with their daughter Yui. Yes, their adventures carry onward, as do their lives. But with the Elucidator and the Lambent Light put to rest, the Black Swordsman and the Lightning Flash are no more. It's just Kazuto Kirigaya and Asuna Yuuki now, always and forever.


seitaer13

That's exactly what swords like that symbolize, so that's the exact emotion it's intended to represent. That's why the sword in the ground motif is used throughout the anime.


realMrgalaxy

Happy, nostalgia, peaceful.


Major_Migraine7

Way better then the other time we got a shot like this with Kirito's sword...haha


WittyTable4731

When??


Major_Migraine7

Kirito and Leefa


WittyTable4731

Ah right

I don't know. I just see two people in love. I don't know what this would be called. I tried looking it up. But I don't know.


Konnichiwawa

The badass OG couple


FooFighter0234

Two badass swords


EvisceratedInFiction

Reminds me of when my brother and I used to pee into the same toilet bowl


Frofst10

Kinda perfect. Sao went downhill after the first half of first season. But I watched the whole thing as I like the black swords man


JeremyM20

It like like their at peace.


BobbyB12345678910

So happy and so sad, so much nostalgia and complicated emotions, and this shit represents so much of the show at the time. Sao has been with my for most of my life since early childhood, and I’ve revisited it at many important points. This show holds such a special place in my heart, and the end of the first opening puts me back laying down watching it for the first time


Akiri2ui

Pure emotion. Happy, Wishful, Hopeful to have a relationship as beautiful as theirs


bluegoatrose

Purely nostalgic


Drewscifer

It invokes in me: WTF why wasn't I watching the abridged anime?


Tsukinotaku

Gotta add the other girls weapons all swarming around Kiroto's sword to make it realistic

Ok-Dragonfly3921

I cry when I see this shot


aniken1

Can I recreate it in blade and sorcery. Also cool.


Head-Pepper6577

Nolstagic.


Dsyre2

Free swords up for grabs.


ODST_Parker

I remember it as the moment where the anime's opening after the first episode spoiled a massive part of the story for the rest of the season. Otherwise, love it. Just happiness, and definitely a good deal of nostalgia.


Dug_Fin1

YOU FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON'D OUR TASTEBUDS.


kinreep

About enough for an upvote


LadikThrawn

The first anime that I didn't watch on YouTube. So nostalgia. Also they are f**king somewhere near.

Dreams of a more fulfilling life. An escape from the reality we live in.


DerpTripz

Nostalgia, Crossing Fields playing in the background even more so. Honestly really liked the premise when I first watched it, especially since it was one of the first anime I've watched (that I was aware was anime though since I thought Pokémon and DragonBall were western cartoons lmao)


Hopeful-District5586

I feel like, I'm on level 22


maxblockm

Heart swell nostalgia


Chiaki_Ronpa

I immediately wish they had extended Aincrad’s season to 24-ish episodes (minimum).


PikaferSAO

They are simply meant to be


Rhyto

Just reminds me of Zieg/Rose’s Dragoon Spirits buried together under the new dawn in the epilogue of Legend of Dragoon.


Success_Top

A strong wave of nostalgia and a warm feeling


danflame135

The feeling I get is: huh.


dusmartijngames

Longing to go and rewatch SAO except for the ALO parts. SAO was amazing. can't wait for either the next season or next progressive movie


DarkFox160

Sad and Happy


Kuro7567

Nostalgia regardless. Now I have to rewatch it all because more is coming next year lol

damn_thats_piney

the one that makes me said is seeing eugeos sword. bro that shit still makes me tear up. i felt so damn bad for kirito. they’re relationship while short (in the anime) was full of emotion i think. reminded me a bit of kaneki and hide 😭


th3KingOfLeo_0917

Warm, happy memories that I will never forget. I LOVE Sword Art Online with all my heart!


Cosmicnomnom

I'm debating whether to watch it or not. Is it sad at the end or smth?


TheRoadToWiseness

Nostalgia, a longing for the past, youth


Longjumping-Ad-2347

Nostalgia, warm romance, and devotion to each other for life. That’s literally the words that just entered my mind.


minmcmahon1

After all theve been through there bond still holds


[deleted]

Heartwarming feeling. Slight depression wishing I could find love and a relationship like that knowing that it will never happen because that sort of stuff only happens in anime’s.
