"Hardcore" might have been the wrong word to use. However I do expect the primary target audience of this game are gamers and the majority of that subgroup are guys.
I'd be willing to give up on Sachi for the sake of argument. However I think it's not up for debate that Silica, Liz and Asuna all crush on Kirito to some degree. The show's done this 3 times already, that's pretty lazy and repetitive. Still, that's not the focus of my complaint. What's important here is that there has been a skewed focus on Kirito developing...emotionally charged relationships with cute girls. Whether or not these relationships form in a realistic manner isn't all that relevant. The point is that these relationships shouldn't have had the chance to form in the first place. In an MMO setting such as this, cute girls should be a minority, yet a lot of the relevant characters introduced thus far fall into that category. That's a huge strike against the setting because it's not what the viewer expects, thus it makes it hard for them to suspend their disbelief.

Lets not forget that Kirito actually have some male friends too, so it's not like it's all girls around, just that the guys don't crush on Kirito. But this also kind of explains why there are more girls around then expected, it's because girls tend to like Kirito But in the end so do you have a point, guys tends to like having girls in the story, that is why they show up. If this was aimed mostly at an female audience then we should expect only guys to show up in the story. |

Note this: When we talk about 'warmth' (how warm something is) or 'coolness' (how cool something is), aren't we talking about temperature? And it's in context, because this story is with regards to humans emotions, and using 'temperature' in English sounds rather awkward. Just my 2 cents. |

Are you sure about that?
Anyway, re: Crushes Pardon my temporary sullying of her memory, but Sachi looked like she was ready to fall for anyone who could protect her from the scary outside world (both literally and figuratively). In the case of the other two girls, Kirito has been acting a lot like a badass, saving their lives and shit, it's not THAT unlikely for them to get a bit flustered. In either case there wasn't enough time for it to develop beyond a simple crush, so the point is moot. The only thing I'll say about Asuna is: The point is moot. As for all of these girls being cute, well, it's TV, what do you expect? |

I sort of take this "so many girls, and they're all attractive!" as a bit akin to an earlier conversation about the way the story is choosing the scenes to showcase. If you think of these last episodes as "Kirito's selected highlights from the game 'till now"... it may be that his most significant moments in the game "just so happened" to all involve attractive women. I'm not sure if that's all that unlikely a view for a boy his age...

Just watched this episode. That Lizbeth is such a cutie.
Are we we ever going to get to the main storyline or is this show going to be like this all the way? If it does get to the main storyline will it take place after episode 2 or continue forward in the timeline? |

It's a fair point, but not at all realistic. |
