Japan however don't have a problem with marriage between cousins like us Western people do, so it's not surprising we find it weird, yet the Japanese have no problem with it.

Hm, I didn't know about that. Yet another thing that boils down to "Japan's weird" I guess.

According to Wikipedia (yes, I know, it's not exactly the best source) in some Middle Eastern countries more than half the marriages are between cousins.

Ok, according to Wikipedia the US is the only country in the Western world that has laws against marriage between first cousins. So, once again it's just Japan not being scared of a cultural taboo us Westerners have.

Honestly, I think that Kirito is gonna be a pimp and have 100 of the ladies around him /shot

Let's just hope Asuna can be saved before the marriage/mind controlthing

"Am I not a problem?"

"Well, you aren't really a girl"

Lol. Best. Part. Ever.

Couldn't Asuna just fly off of the World Tree? Or does she not know how to?

Yup, that episode was awesome.

And, being a middle-eastern myself, I can confirm that cousin marriage isn't weird at all, in fact, it's a tradition, and in some places, such as villages, people are forced to marry their cousins, and aren't allowed to marry anyone else outside their family, and it's sometimes considered rude and inappropriate. Sometimes, the children's parents even agree to the marriage while the boy and girl are still young, and maybe even before they are born, ofc this tradition has decreased a lot in the last 30 years or so, and is rarely seen now, especially in cities, but cousin marriage is still as normal as any other marriage.

Yea... lol.... stuff...
Go SAO, can't wait for this week's episode xDDD

I totally agree, I found the the fight scene pretty damn epic, but I didn't appreciate the boobs.. since I was watching it with my younger sister who also likes SAO... yea... that was awkward xD

Kirito should ditch Asuna and get with the car girl, seriously.

The fight was awesome, though I don't believe that a massive PK clan would just turn around a leave so easily.

Don't remember there ever being a car girl but okay

I wonder if when they get to to top and find Fairy King Oberon that he will be in such a disarray over Asuna that we will just wipe them all out.

For reasons unbeknownst to me, my iPhone likes to autocorrect cat into car.

Ah, then you should get that checked.

With the release of SAO Ep.21 I just have to say...
What.
The.
F***
Come on Japan, I know you already have a love affair between cousins... but almost having a tentacle porn scene is going over the limits..
