Allow me to be blunt: Hurry the fuck up and air! :uhoh:

Five hours and ten minutes....

I wonder if any bit of the first 10 minutes shown at the pre-screening in Paris got changed.

And here's hoping that the ED is awesome!

So Kirito will start from level 1 and progress his level up?
That sounds awesome. I like stories where MC work his way up.

If anyone hasn't noticed, CR changed the simulcast time from 11:30 EDT to 4:30.

Well the raw will be available before then... I hope. XD

Is that AM or PM? If it's PM, *rage*.

Wouldn't make sense if it was 4:30 PM EDT, it be 4:30 AM in Japan.

I noticed, but I wonder what the reason for changing the time was; I certainly hope it'll be back to normal by next week..

I did some comparison for my timeline, I live in the US on the east coast so that would be 3:30pm for me.

Is that confirmed ? If it;s true that would be hell for us :uhoh:

Just went to CR's site and they have a hour countdown. 5 hours and 30 minutes until simulcast.

Episode 02:

-Man, always read the damned guide book, always.


I'll try to post the ED ASAP.

It seems SAO is going to be featuring artwork at the end of each episode too?

This episode has rushed written all over it.

Still pissed that Argo got the shaft :mad:

That's pretty neat. More shows should have end cards like that. It doesn't improve the quality of the show, but it's something to look forward to after the credits, especially when the quality of the art is very high.

Yeah it's kinda expected, Aria needed about 2-3 episodes to be fully animated, but based on the PV's it wouldn't happen, so eh.

Anyways, this leaves more time for the main story to be animated I guess. :D

As for the end cards...More Avatar/Signature fuel yay! :3

What made me more pissed is that (correct me if I'm wrong but this is what I understand from watching the RAW) Diabel get all Argos's credit. He is the one who distributed guidebook in anime ??

There is simply not enough time to fit Aria in 1 Ep. So can't say it's unexpected T_T
