I'm also fine with Kirito. If anything, I find it kind of tragic that he's only a "Marty Stu" within the confines of Aincrad; I'm sure he's far from perfect in real life. In fact, his "Marty Stu"-ness might be a set up for an interesting conflict down the line. What if he decides he no longer wants to clear the game because he likes his perfect life in Aincrad? I would love it if the show goes in that direction because I think escapism makes perfect sense as the primary theme when it comes to an MMO setting.
I can just feel the LN crowd snickering at how right/wrong my hopes are |

I have no strong feelings towards the whole Marty Stu debate (hence the quotation marks in my previous post). I do think that the more important thing is being able to empathize with the character, which I've had no problem doing so far.
Although I have to say that the "girl of the week" thing is kinda annoying, since it chips away at my suspension of disbelief (MMOs being historically populated by mostly guys). For that reason, Liz annoyed me since I'm kind of burnt out from all the girls. That being said, I did find it interesting that Liz commented on the warmth of Kirito's hand being a result of "virtual data", yet at the end she contradicts herself by saying that it was "something real". Seems she's having trouble discerning fake from reality, or she simply doesn't care anymore. Either way, it's an interesting thing for the show to build upon. |

I like this adaptation. The source material is short and making it 2 episodes would of dragged it out. Have to feel bad for Liz. You can see it in her eyes when she realizes she has no chance. It was also cool that Kirito understood what Liz was saying about him coming back every day. Most male main characters are too dense to get subtle hints.

Great episode. I liked interaction between Kirito and Liz. I find it hilarious that Kirito broke one Liz's swords for testing. Ah, the most precious material=poop gag. Reminds of Luna Silver Star Story.
Next episode's title seems to reference the two swords that Kirito has in his possession.

What a cute sacred blacksmith. That blacksmith forged a sword weaker then the one Kirito currently uses. Although the one Kirito is using doesn't have + anything on it the one Lizbeth forged has +0 so I'm guessing it can be upgraded and the one Kirito currently use can't.

Unless you think reverse foreshadowing is relevant or I couldn't figure out tracking friends is possible from this episode alone, you missed my point(s) in the previous thread, but that's no longer or or there. Anyway, Kirito must really be into Asuna now, since he didn't deny anything to Lizbeth. Looks like he didn't want to hurt Lizbeth's feelings because he's still got his old weapon equipped (it must've been still been crappier than his current weapon, lol). Also, I'm no longer participating in this sub-forum anymore so you can all rejoice. |

Still I'm pretty sure the average time is supposed to be longer than 8-10 days to clear a floor. |

You can take the Kirito from the beginning of Ep 1, Ep 2, Ep 3, Ep 4, Ep 5, and Ep 7 and they are essentially the same character: skilled SAO player but kind of a loner, slightly socially awkward, but willing to help others. Another lulz-worthy moment from this episode though: apparently falling a few hundred feet into a dragon's nest will almost kill you, but falling thousands of feet off the side of the mountain gets you warmly embraced by a pink-haired cutie and a transition to her forge before you hit the ground and go splat. |

First floor was one month. I haven't really been keeping track of the timeline on an episode by episode basis but if we go with 16 months for the other 69 floors or so we'd end up with 16*30/69=6.9 days per floor. So that estimate seems pretty accurate. |
