I do believe, however, that this episode will recieved better treatment if they just cut the whole RNR deal out, the whole Xmas event things. They can just made this episode purely a Black Cat guild episode so they can introduced Sachi and killed her off more effectively. I don't if this is really better solution. It will surely give birth to new complain but at least it will make the episode better IMO.

But yeah at this rate the first 12 episodes would be SAO arc, while next season would be ALO-GGO. Which is when I break and start babbling "rushed, rushed, rushed, rushed, rushed, rushed, rushed, rushed, rushed, rushed, rushed, rushed" Then I'll snap out of it and be like "Heck yeah time for Caliber and Mother's Rosario!" That aside, looking back this episode still conveyed much of the necessary feelings later, so that everytime Kirito has a flashback, there is a basis for it.

I guess we got "trolled" by episode 1 expecting a faithful adaptation.
How hard can it be.... They should have just used these 24-25 episodes to animate only the Aincrad arc, because there's more than enough (original source) material to make it an awesome and memorable anime. With (inevitable) great sales they could expand the other volumes into (even) more seasons and get (even) more money... But instead of this we get now two episodes in a row that are terribly rushed leaving a sour taste (for the LN readers) of yet another opportunity to animate some great original source material (seeing the SAO world and characters faithfully animated) probably flushed down the drain like many other LN's before (..) only because of these lousy (directing/storyboard) decisions the anime staff took the liberty of. And for what reason..? Why cram as much as possible into the 24-25 episode format if the source material already reached vol.10? I will never get these people (anime staff/studios) who have the nerve to f*** up great original content and giving us some rushed, butchered and fillerish (not yet in SAO) "crap" instead. |

We got "trolled" by episode 1? What?
You speak as if you represent those so-called "LN readers". Many of us are actually enjoying the anime adaptation; it's far from perfect, but it's still pretty good. When you go in with asinine expectations, and expect a translation instead of an adaptation. You're definitely going to be disappointed by the end result. |

The point I wanted to make is that it all depends on the ingenuity of the anime staff knowing the source material is already "gold" and thus it doesn't need any butchering, rushing/pacing issues and anime original filler/ending, because it will not do the original content justice. Examples of good "faithfull" adaptations are Death Note, Monster and Cross Game. Examples where they did not do the original content justice (for whatever BS reason) by taking some strange/mediocre adaptation liberties are Chrome Shelled Regios, Break Blade and Legend of the Legendary Heroes etc. If you can't see the difference then by all means enjoy anything they give you... |

Then why did you say "we" and "(For the L/N readers)"?

Yes, yes; I know. That wasn't directed at you, though.
I can't speak for the other two, but I know that a lot of content got cut from the anime adaptation of the first seasons of the Monogatari series. It's just not a lot of people are familiar with the novels, so not many complain about the material that got cut. There seems to be some kind of idea that if a studio axes material, than the adaptation is suddenly poor. |

I re-watch ep3 and i am beginning to agree with nightengale that ep3 should have been cut and partially anime as flashback. Maybe release as a OAV in the BR disc.

The pacing in episode 3 isn't perfect, but it also isn't downright terrible. If you think it is utterly horrible, that's fine. It doesn't mean that it actually is though, as this is a subjective matter. I will say that the side story is partially to blame. What's done is done. I don't care for "what if"s, "could've"s, or "should've"s. Last edited by Ray; 2012-07-25 at 19:51. Reason: typo |
