Ah, we are so back. *And they were kind enough to put all our reactions in the episode itself.*
It seems one team might have gotten leaked information.
I feel old just by looking at the airdate of S1.
*6.5 years ago*

Feels good to be back with this one, not one I expected to see more of so all of this season will be a pleasant surprise.
I especially enjoy that they’re teaming up! Excited to see them kick ass together.
It’s good to be back with this goofy anime.
It’s great to welcome back everyone, this was a nice warm up episode.
Our favorite pink munchkin with a machine gun is back! Lucky Girl LLENN is still getting chased after by guys shooting at her while a ReoNa (or would that be Elsa Kanzaki) bangerp lays, only this time she not only has Fuka’s wisecracks in her ear but also M AND Pito. That makes it even better, right LLEN-chan? How does she keep getting into these situations?
Karen sighting! Girl just wants to have a lazy day, but there’s a third Squad Jam on the horizon! Also poor Goushi has to deal with a boss he simps for that has such a busy schedule as a singer and constantly threatens him with grievous harm (though he’s also into that) and nearly kills them while he’s driving. It’s not easy being close to Elsa.
LLENN’s had enough Squad Jams to last her a life time, so she’s not getting roped into a third! Until Pito basically guilt trips her into a forming a team with her, Fuka, and M for the sake of settling things with the SHINC girls. And, I mean, LLENN can’t let those young girls down, can she? Just look how happy they are knowing LLENN will be participating!
And we’ve got even more old faces…the machine gun nutjobs, Memento Mori, Shirley who wants even more revenge against Pito, and the girl nobody asked for…Clarence. Who is roping this poor Sam guy into participating with her.
Did we need Miyu lounging in her tub naked while discussing the possible special rules of the new Squad Jam? No, but you can’t deny the appeal of seeing Miyu’s Miyu’s!
Shirley is definitely in charge of her team this time, and has even gotten the hang of PK-ing, that just goes to show how much her experience with Pito has changed her. And it seems like she knows how she and her team can really do some damage.
I just love how everyone sees the SHINC team in their Amazon avatars and they cut away to the cute and adorable girls who are playing as them.
I can understand why T-S wouldn’t be popular after how they operated during the last Squad Jam…so smart of them to come in without their armor. Though did that blonde dude tell them what the new special rules are?
Will P-chan 3 survive the third Squad Jam? She will if LLENN has anything to say about it! Though Fuka might actually personalize her grenade launchers Rightina and Leftina more than even LLENN does with her gun. Even if she does come off like an absentee mom.
So LLENN’s the only one who’s actually kept up with GGO up to this point, Pito and M had professional obligations and Fuka’s primarily an ALO player. But Fuka’s still LLENN’s partner and they’re in this together! Albeit with a…very unconventional pep talk from Pito. But at least she brings the plasma warheads for Fuka!
New cute ED! Featuring the return of long-haired Karen in some VERY tight-fitting loungewear, before she gets brought into Wonderland by Bunny LLENN and she’s happier as her short-haired self.
Good start but nothing much to say as besides the funny flashforward at the start they just introduced the teams and pushed LLEN to participate in another turney.
But looks like it will be fun.
I was so happy when T-S got booed, though I do feel bad they gotta hide themselves by wearing less gear
LOL at Team T-S still getting booed so much that they had to go incognito at the ceremony to avoid getting themselves lynched.
Season 2 begins and we jump straight into a new tournament arc, this time with Llenn and Fuka teaming up with Pito and M. A formidable team.
With Pito no longer thinking of actually killing herself anymore, the stakes are no doubt much lower.
So I would suggest we all treat this season as a slice-of-life spinoff of SAO, and don’t expect the levels of jeopardy we’re used to seeing in SAO, in order to avoid unnecessary disappointment. (Disclaimer: Speaking as an anime-only, so I have no idea if I’m right or not)
I’m glad they’ve thoroughly reinforced the “it’s a video game, it’s not actually serious business” message from the first season. They just got other stuff going on beforehand.
A great start, fully enjoyed today’s episode.
