I guess my only issue with the arc was how the handled the set-up of whole situation with Endou. If I remember correctly, it was a lot worse for Shino than it was in the anime, but I digress. It's a pretty faithful adaptation and was a decent arc overall.
But, now that Log Horizon is back, my interest in SAO is being drained by that.

I'm kinda disappointed that we didn't see the rest of Kazuto introduce Shino to Leafa, Silica, and Klein. It seems almost a waste to not see Klein try to introduce himself to or hit on Shino, and Kirito gut-punching him for it like usual.

1. Kirito brought Asada somewhere with the intent of meeting someone. 2. The only people at the bar, besides the bartender, were two female SAO survivors. 3. They all knew about her condition and invited a survivor to talk to her. So yeah, I'm pretty sure they at least talked about who would meet Asada, what words to use for introductions, explanations, and so on. The entire point of the scene wasn't just for Asada's benefit either. Survivors guilt is something nearly all of the SAO survivors have to deal with. That's why Kirito stammered at the end before the little girl gave Asada the picture. So instead of looking at it as Asada being introduced to friends, look at it as being introduced to a support group. By no means will I ever state that SAO is well written overall, but episodes like this certainly are done very well.

Overall a good episode, and a good way to end the arc.
The one thing they cut short in the anime, is that despite Asuna not being introduced as girlfriend, this is something that Shino picks up on during the course of the meeting. But in the anime I guess they decided to cut this short and focus on Shino's recovery. Plus they seem to have a hard time in the current arc w/ drawing Kirito and Asuna's body language as being "close". The two things that left me thinking "wtf" were: 1. as pointed out, why the need to have Kritio "stabed", it would seem to work just as well if Shino does the head bashing right before; and b) I can understand keeping the fight to 3 characters, the timing works fine.. but I just kept wondering "where the heck is Asuna, wasn't she right in the hospital".. kind of felt like a bit weird to have her at the hospital only to not follow Kirito to the apartment and to not have any explanation of resolution of why. At this point, there's been so much talking, I don't feel like I need a "recap", hopefully it's used as a way to re-introduce some of the other characters and set the stage in for the next arcs. |

Okay, the adaptation cut some of the stuff with Asuna reaching out to Sinon and added a little hint of what might be jealousy, but even so, now do you people get why I was so smugly amused by people expecting the two of them to get into a cat fight? |

If the next arc's starting on Oct 18, then the next ep, ep 15, is most likely a summary of the entire GGO arc, condensed in one episode.
For two people who just met for the first time in real life, they sure got chummy with each other. Did any fujoshi screamed when Shino placed her hand on Kazuto's chest? Nice end to the arc, it got overly dramatic for a bit there, but that's how rehab goes. You suck it and move on. |
