good first episode. the first part was confusing, with the kinda spinooff vibe.
some part of the animation was really off, namely when they run from the dragon cave to the dark side, it felt like the ep was laging with the runing being at like 5 fps. alice hair too have like no depth, it's like its painted on her head. i like the fact that it try to close the gap between the tech of sao and the one of accel world with the STL accelerating their inner time. |

Glad that the series is back again I was looking forward to it. The first part was indeed kinda confusing but a good episode all together. Asuna and Kirito moment before that creep showed up was really good. That cliffhanger though at the end....

I'm glad to see characters like Sinon return honestly. She's one of my favorite characters in the franchise. They'll definitely need to flesh out the story a bit more but it's at least 2-cour for this season so there's definitely time for that.
Oh and Alice is cute as heck.

On another note, I heard of BL vibes between Eugeo and Kirito. After seeing the opening, I can see how fans might get that. That scene with them swinging their swords in sync and attacking a knight is reminiscent of Kirito and Asuna fighting a boss in the first opening. I may hate this series, but even I can appreciate their cool handshake and the nice walking off to the distance.

This is nit picking obviously but
+ If they 'converted' an account to GGO who is 'watching' all their gear back in ALO + How the heck did they 'keep' their avatars which more or less reflect their RL selves As fun as the cameo was it has to disregard prior established plot limitations (short of insane odds of achieving that outcome by coincidence)

I can see why they made the first episode a double episode. The first half was really boring.

The avatar appearance must have been artistic license. |

As for the second point, it's honestly just the character designers being lazy. They SHOULD all have new unique avatars (except Kirito and Sinon who already had GGO avatars), but they don't want to bother with new designs for a single episode, I guess. Dunno. There's no given reason from the LN that could explain this. It's the same as how Kirito in ALO looks really similar to his SAO avatar (and thus his real self). They're doing that for the viewer's benefit, but we're to believe they look different, or something. |

Going to presume that won't last though. Seems like they are setting Kirito to be saved by the guy hitting about the same spot as that miniature sensor. Since Kirito obviously isn't going to die that thing will probably be damaged or destroyed by this attack.

I lol'd at the Asuna's tracking device, but given how much experience they have with being trapped and Kirito's continued sketchy involvements I can see why she'd want it. |
