My issues with the episode was basically how they didn't explain what a Beater (Beta Cheater) is, and you wouldn't have known unless you read the LNs. Or explain Kirito took it on himself to lessen the hate for Beta people and making himself into a scapegoat, a symbol of beta people that actually uses their info for selfish gains versus Beta players that apart from some more experience is just the same as the rest of them.
Asuna, well as a introduction to the main heroine (as evident from the OP and ED), it was kind of lack-lustre. From the episode we knows she's skilled with a sword, but knows nearly nothing about Virtual MMORPG games (eg, 'switch' and names under HP bar scenes). Hopefully future episodes will flesh out her character a bit more, for example like her background or her motivations.
