Will we get to see Asuna in this episode ?

I want Asuna, way too many episodes without her

. If we don't i will seriously be disappointed.

styr · 2012-08-04, 01:11

All I can say is that those spiky weapons look amazing.

And yay for the return of Asuna!

@Whitemoon, have you seen the teaser trailer for ep5? Was posted in a few SAO threads although I forgot which. Asuna shows up prominently in this episode, rejoice!

Edited: Thx

. After watching it i can't wait for the episode now lol.

Deathrip · 2012-08-04, 05:27

I just realized, they are putting all the side stories of the LN fitting in the order it actually should be told. So cool

Bombo · 2012-08-04, 05:34

Finally asuna will show up

.

That's probably because the sub hasn't been released yet.

MagicaLideaL · 2012-08-04, 10:28

But isn't Kirito progressing too fast. He's still level 50 at episode 3 and then he is already 78 at episode 4 lol

Yes, yes, yes, yes!

Much better than last week's one.

Hmm.... · 2012-08-04, 11:45

Soooooo finally, we got 2 episode arc. Anime studio finally figure out how to properly adapt SAO (long) SS. If only they figure it out a few episode earier ^^" (yes yes I know it's not like they don't know how to do it they just didn't/can't/etc.)

I have no complain about this episode in particular (surprisingly

) except with all the talking and minimal action, this episode may seem abit slow or perhap boring for anime viewer ? I don't know. Oh and the fact that I'm not too fond with tsundere character and detective story in general but that is my preference.

Anyway I'm glad they are on the right track. Hope they keep it up.

Utsuro no Hako · 2012-08-04, 12:02

Going to be hard for readers to discuss this one without giving away what is or isn't a clue. On the other hand, watching the anime only viewers try to figure out the mystery should be good.

They kinda changed one scene from novels, and I think they skipped something else too, but thank god it wasn't crammed in one freaking episode.

hoshino_crimsonwings · 2012-08-04, 13:04

Don't see any raws for episode 5 out yet.

Yusei Fudo · 2012-08-04, 13:08

I felt a little yandere from that blue haired girl o_o

BTW, who is the illustrator for the end card this episode?
