To be honest, I wasn't sure whether doing this in chronological order is really a good idea. So Kawahara sitting in the meetings doesn't necessary mean that everything will go well. This episode is kind of boring to me, and there's hardly any impact...... If I were an anime-only watcher, I might have dropped it already, since I'm not really into MMORPGs and games...... The only thing I care about SAO are the characters and the psychological aspects...... Well, not that I care much about the anime anyway (*goes back to reading v10
).
