All that being said...
Klein and his Fuurinkazan guild mates look even cooler than I imagined. Like a gang of ronins straight out of a samurai flick or something.
He also provides an interesting contrast to Kirito, considering how he managed to become a "frontliner" despite having been a newb who couldn't even kill basic monsters on the first day and safely dragging his whole guild around.
As for the episode, they could have skipped the op and ed to gain some precious minutes of exposition. It had the gist of the story, but in the end there wasn't enough attachment to the characters, and a lot of info was skipped.
I'm not sure if this episode was really necessary to be honest. Originally (before the side story was written) it was just mentioned by Kirito in the main story. It could have been done as a flashback later in the cours. Now there's a bit too many timeskip jumping around.
