I get the impression that they might just be switching the order of events around to let the episode end on a cliffhanger. I wouldn't bet on it or anything, but rearranging things to end where they did makes some sense to me. They also rearranged the order of events in the beginning of the episode, putting the ghost story after the part where they walk around. Simply because it makes more sense to have it immediately before they meet her.

And, aye. It seems to be because people aren't used to 'show, don't tell' stories. You gotta pay more attention in such cases. |

As a whole, I admit it's a bit iffy. The simplest way of solving canon debates, IMO, is to just stick to what has been published as canon - and yes, I note that this disregards author's intent. The other issue is that we have no sure way of knowing the author's intent if the author does not speak... on the other hand, if the author maintains steady engagement with the fans, and we can discern the author's intent straight from the horses mouth, then that form of interpretation is just as valid. But we're going around in circles, really. While the specific mechanics of what went on that night probably won't have any official canon source, to sum up Kirito and Asuna expressed their love for each other and connected on a physical and emotional level that night. The details don't really matter, at the end of the day. Y'know, this has been the most pleasant discussion on interpreting canon that I've ever had with anyone.

Well, that too, but I didn't start 'em. That said, this is less a debate and more a discussion on the approaches to interpretation... Probably because we both agree that Kirito and Aduna expressed their love for each other and formed a deeper emotional and physical connection accompanied by strenuous, yet enjoyable, physical activity and stimulation.
I'm just splitting hairs between accepting that 16.5 happened and affirming my personal belief that it did happen. In law, it's the difference between binding precedent and a persuasive argument; Vol 1-10 are binding precedent, while 16.5 is a persuasive argument.

Ah, I see where you're coming from now. Well, the Reki does tweet quite a bit about SAO and AW.. but I don't think we'll ever hear him say anything about 16.5. Oh well. Well said. Heh, it's more fun to have discussions instead of arguments/debates over about or over such things. |

They aren't. Episode 14 is the end. Of Aincrad, that is.
That said, boss 75 got skipped over in favor of Kayaba, so I figure 13 starts with the boss, scene break, kayaba reveal then fight.

In the novel, they show boss 75 one shotting the clearers. Then the next chapter cuts to the end of the battle, at which point Kayaba is revealed and the duel happens.
The anime, following the novel, will skip the boss 75 fight after the intro, and jump tp the reveal.

I hope that if SAO gets a second season it will have a slower pace and they won't skip as much. It has already happened chronology-wise. |

They aren't. It's going to go through at least episode 14, and possibly some of 15 as well. |
