Since in the anime, we had the side-stories to build up their relationship. Pretty much ever scene of Asuna x Kirito worked to get them closer and dependable on eachother unlike other series where there's a ton of filler scenes of two characters that never serve any purpose.

I'd argue that it's actually worse because we see the moment they met. If you're not following the dates closely, you might get the feeling that they've only met recently. This is analogous to a high school story starting in the middle of the school year. If two characters suddenly start seriously dating we wouldn't question it because who knows how much they've interacted before we met them?
