nothing great this first episode, but after moretsu pirates, im assured slow pace can do wonders if you ave a good story, interesting characters and a rich setting, animation was good, and the music gives more the medieval/fantasy setting than the online one, not that i find that bad, but its very reminiscent of madoka, specially the bgm that plays when the GM is about to finish his speech.

Good timing with that "tutorial" announcement! Wouldn't you normally be trying to kill off your character at that point if it was stuck with no log out option...
Anyway, isn't the best course of action to get together, make an army and clean all the floors up to the top. Why do they want to compete for resources instead? I think I am missing some vital piece of game rules... Oh, and 10000 guys look at their real faces in the mirrors, and surprise surprise nobody has glasses on! |

- In terms of general MMO habits, everyone is Lvl 1 (or around there). Dying means actual death, so if you fight at all, you'll want to be careful about it. The area directly outside of a first city (in any RPG, really) is always the easiest prey, thus being the safest way to get stronger. Now here's the catch, potentially 10,000 people are going to use this area at the same time. Fast respawn rates or not, that's going to be slim pickings. - In terms of human nature, it's simple. You mentioned making an army. Who's going to lead it? In that world, you would assume the strongest person. Without going too much into it, one could already assume what a mess that would create. Lastly, despite the large amount of protesting do you honestly believe some people in the group aren't HAPPY with their situation? Why would they want out? Throw in mass panic, disbelievers, etc., and you'll quickly see how hard it would be to convince all 10k people to work together right away, if at all.

BTW, I originally was wondering why there were so many female characters in an online game, around a 40% female to 60% male ratio. That seemed so high. After they transformed to their true self, I got my answer.

You do bring up a good point about possibly other people trying to enter the game later on. I can definitely see older rescue teams coming in with added knowledge to try and protect those alread in the game. However, for casual gamers, I really doubt they would knowingly put themselves in that risk... well, at least the mentally stable ones wouldn't. Great... more mentally insane people in a desperate situation already, but hopefully the series will not go in that direction. Quote:
I do think the meglomaniac option is feasible, if at least partly true. It could be just an experiment that he wants to test out, in the name of "science". Or it could be a type of revenge he is placing against the world. Or he could be just a control freak, and this was his one true dream come true. However, I feel there has to be a purpose. He wants them to able to reach level/floor 100. There must be a reason for him to even give them that option. I also bet that when they reach the final level, the final boss will be the creator himself. Quote:
I also thought about the possibility of creating an army. However, as it was mentioned, there are limited resources. I'm sure some of the characters will declare themselves kings or guildmasters, and they might actually stage war against each other. It is a survival of the fittest scenario. Currently, there are probably too many players for the amount of resources available. However, I will find it very dispicable if players started targeting other players because that equals to nothing more than murder. Considering you put a VR device on your head, I don't think you need glasses. It is uncomfortable, and this is a neurolink, if I understood it correctly.

As someone who's played a lot of MMOs, it's very true. The rule: everyone is a male on the Internet, unless proven otherwise, is especially true for MMOs. People pretending to be a girl just so they can "date" someone else also happens quite often, and as a matter of fact, I know people who've done that. It's a little creepy..

Besides this kind of crazy guy seems like the type who wants things to go as he planned them. He made sure only 10,000 people would have initial access. More people coming in might disrupt what he's trying to accomplish (whatever that is). Think in the end it will be these 10,000 people (well more like around 8,000 now) to find their way out of this. Quote:
Too many possibilities really. Could have a god complex, a serious obsession with control, testing a theory about humanity, etc. Maybe he wants to see what kind of person can rise up from this kind of situation. Everyone starting on a fairly even playing field. Besides the beta testers having knowledge, their physical abilities are starting on the same level. Though wonder if the beta testers are just beta testers. Were they randomly selected or did he even have a purpose for that? Just too little information right now.

On the other hand, the boar respawned - so there is no obvious shortage (yet?) Another thing that makes me wonder is how this Klein guy is going to survive a month without somebody watering his disabled body. His living alone sounds like a plot hole to me... |

The story line is pretty interesting. I think I can relate to Kirito. There are a couple things I don't see realistic in the first episode.
1. Kirito (beta tester) helping out a noob If he was like level 20 helping out a noob, I can believe but both starting out the same time and both stayed at level 1 until GM introduction. If a game is released I'm pretty sure people will start leveling as fast as they could, unless they are those who actually read everything. The storyline should be easy to follow so rushing to high level I don't see a problem. 2. Too many females. Sure there are females playing mmos but there are just way too many. lmfao 3. Early area is way too empty, and no one pk'ing. 4. 2000 died only in a month? that's it? and still on first floor. Everything else I find it pretty interesting. Would keep watching until the end.

Kaijura soundtrack and concept makes me think this is .hack sign, but stuff actually happens.
It's like hardcore mode, but you die IRL too! Good premiere that sets up everything promptly. It's rarer these days that they manage to get the storytelling down to a tee. 8/10
