My opinion is that, if you don't want to spend time on it, just skip it altogether. Volumn 1 novel structure was fine as it is. Doing SAO in chronical order is also questionable in the first place, with all these time skip we will face.

the date at the beginning is 2023 - 4 -8
Its been shown below from the first scene in a structure that looks like a tavern. Then the Kampai and the face of Kirito. I also felt the same thing based on Kirito's expression. But aside that scene. The other scene that should be emotional and should have meaning just felt rushed.

Well I can't understand Japanese, so ill have to wait for subs to make a final assessment, but using what I know of the LN to "fill in" the dialogue this chapter doesn't seem that rushed to me. If anything, they expanded it a little bit in some parts.

We came, we saw, we conquered.
That's how fandoms think IIRC. Still it's mostly based on the expressions of the characters...you could just simply bring up the LN translations and pause scene by scene and read to feel the underlying internal monologue. xD

Finally managed to watch the episode. And I can't really understand those complaining. Yeah, they could've give us more development and story, but I woudn't call it being a rush. It was a transitional story between the prologue and the main story and it felt like one.
oh, and btw, I want Kirito and Asuna amw with "Show me the light" song in it now. Just for a balance.

Subs aren't even out yet we have 3 pages already?
From what I read this episode cut out a lot of stuff from the side story, and to top it off it was poorly adapted and/or rushed? As someone said, maybe there was just too much hype about SAO, if it continues like that maybe it'll turn into the biggest flop of this summer. But then we have another 20+ episodes, it may get better. *waiting for subs*

Most of the comments right now are LN readers, and we aren't the best judges of how impactful it is. The real test will be when the anime-only viewers show up -- if they aren't in tears, the episode failed to capture the source material.

It did it fairly well, didn't expect much more, felt kinda natural for me, they didn't really skip that much, only 3 scenes from Side story if I remember right, and they even added one new (Argo, and speaking of her, Argos News was pretty brilliant tbh.)
But yeah, around 9 material in my books. |

So, I didn't figure this would make me cry at all. Can't really recall a book that managed to do that. Maybe I've read too much and I just sort of expect this sort of thing now. Or I'm an unfeeling monster

I defended the last two episodes, but this one was a little bit less so for me. Rushed for sure.
Kanpai out of nowhere for the start was definitely WTFBBQ. Kirito really doesn't seem to show much attachment to any of the guild members. He shows slightly more for Sachi, but not that much more. Quote:
Speaking of unfitting VA's though, the information dealer was a much worse offender for this episode. I was hoping for a sly rat voice rather than a squeaky rat voice. My favorite part of the episode was by far watching the first guy get tenderized by the picks. Lots of twitching lol.... Last edited by trinitem; 2012-07-21 at 16:59. Reason: quote origin |
