I saw a woman walking with a child. Were they NPCs or did she just have extremely poor parenting skills and let her young child play this game?

I lol'd at Asuna apparently trying to remain anonymous. Last episode, I got so disappointed when, after he received the mirror, Kirito turned out to look like a little kid. So his new badass "beater" personality development pleases me. Even if he's not hot on the outside, he can still be hot on the inside. [/shallow] So far, the pacing seems fine to me, as well, since I haven't read the light novels.

I am always going to be behind because I'm watching on Crunchyroll without a subscription, huh. Whatever, I'm cheap.

EDIT: Okay, though the pacing seemed fine, the character development and such was... odd. I didn't really care about Diabel, he was just a nice leader guy who became a would-be item stealer. And it was weird that suddenly Asuna was so friendly with Kirito at the end when she was cold to him when she had her cape on. I understand it's because of missing scenes. That said, I still totally look forward to the next episode.
