| Nice episode. Will continue to watch it to see how it progress. |
| i heard alot of good things about this and the fact that i'm a MMO player makes this like ten times better! and i can all ready tell they know a thing or two about MMOs lol fact that it really showed who the people were in real life was great, i just can't wait to see how fast Kazuto gears up since hes already ahead. |

It's like every kid's dream come true i'm literally laughing out loud Paiguy said: SergioSource said: dkrdude3 said: When your favourite character is Hitler, it's kinda hard to take you seriously. herp derp im so mature look at me h8n I can be funny too ^^ What if I agree with what he said. I'm a pretty mature dude and stuff. Show sucks. You couldn't read the plot synopsis before you watched it? I mean, this is one of those shows where you can definitely tell whether you would even enjoy it from a plot perspective. It's almost like you looked at the show from the most basic viewpoint and bash it without any real criticism. o_O |
| Come on, just ignore them. We all know how great the series is. Well I kinda pity them for not knowing so. But it's their choice to stay ignorant anyways. |
| BEEEEEEEEEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SOOOOOOOO LONG. I was like err at character designs for the first few minutes until I remembered about the mirror haha. Can't fucking wait. It's not perfectly like I envisioned it when I read but it's ok, it's ok. |

| Long ago, people are sentence to death if their believe are impure or not met to the requirement.. This episode is really epic.Kayaba is actually forcing these player to believe this is reality. This episode shows the moment of a new born believe(religion). Its not just a game .... |

| Definitely loved the first episode. ......It was friggin' beautiful... I hope episode two is just as good, hell even better. I'd so buy that game.....if the game master wasn't such an evil, sadistic prick using codes. -_- |
| The first episode really got the main points down and, definitely was suspenseful in my opinion xD It really makes me just wanna go read the light novel/manga xD but, I think I'll wait if I start hearing that the anime is nothing like the novel/manga then I'll transfer over to it. |
| OMG FINALLY IN A FEW MONTH I FEEL SO EXCITED FOR THE FIRST EPISODE!!!! THIS IS WHAT AN ANIME SHOULD BE! |

| A game of survival, FuCK YEAH!!! |
 |
| this episode is awezummmm !! |
| -Waits for 2022- It would be so badass if a game like this was actually created. |

They don't starve, all but those who have died have been moved within a span of two hours to local hospitals where they are hooked up to an IV that will keep them alive while they are completing the game. |
| wow this is like a shitty matrix ripoff |

Can't fucking wait. It's not perfectly like I envisioned it when I read but it's ok, it's ok. I think they're going in chronological order. They're having Asuna's and Kirito's first meeting (not the one in Vol. 1), and the whole 'beater' thing that was translated just recently. :( |

Yumekichi11 said: KawaiiBitch said: Rumors are panning out into a 24 episodes series however I demand a 2 cour so 48 episodes would be nice.Okay this series started off a lot better than I'd expected. I feel like it has a lot of potential and it was interesting to watch. If they're going to have to beat all 100 floors though, I'm curious as to how long this series will end up being. Has it been announced anywhere? Anyone vibes of: http://myanimelist.net/anime/3230/Druaga_no_Tou:_The_Aegis_of_Uruk http://myanimelist.net/anime/5507/Senjou_no_Valkyria:_Gallian_Chronicles these 2 series or some of their elements? Ya I would assume if they are doing the anime all the way to the finish of the novel ( which I'm assuming is finished? ) it would take more then, 26 episodes lol. I'm all for your plan the more the better >:) ( So long as it stays good ) |
Persocom said: I'm assuming that since the before the guy told everyone over 200 people had already died so I'm sure police and, parents will be moving the children to hospitals or setting it up in there room. It's the same as if they were in coma they would have to be fed through tubes and, by the hospital which again i'm assuming since there are 10,000 people around the world that are in this state will be put into the hospital.Promising. What I want to know, is how do they stay alive in RL at the same time if they can't eat, sleep, use the bathroom, etc. They just crap themselves and die of starvation? I did get quite into this though, I had no idea what it would be like and the idea really makes me think. Definitely watching through to the end. |
| Extremely promising. Did not disappoint me, though I haven't read the novels and don't know how good this was compared to that. Definitely watching this from now on. Animation was better than I expected having seen the PVs. Hope it doesn't get worse. Also, the unrealisticness of the situation doesn't bother me in the least. |

Ya I would assume if they are doing the anime all the way to the finish of the novel ( which I'm assuming is finished? ) it would take more then, 26 episodes lol. I'm all for your plan the more the better >:) ( So long as it stays good ) Actually a 1 sour series is usually 12-13 episodes [Japan's tv seasons are only about 12-13 episodes long, that's why all the interviews for GC said it was such a risk to make a new series 2 cour long without knowing the response]. So a 2 cour series will be about 24-26 episodes long with a short break in the middle around episode 12 or so. Also, there is no real information about the last half of the series... We can only guess based on the information at hand, but there has been a bit of debate about whether or not they will include volumes 3-4 [ALO arc]. Personally I think they should in the later half of the series since volume 4 is a much better end than Volume 1 [Vol. 2 is all SS so there is no end]. Then they can take their time to get approval for another run and do the GGO and Mother's Rosario stories [maybe a few SS as well]. After all that... if they can manage to get support, they can tackle Alicization, all in one go. That arc is by far the longest. They could probably manage it in 2 cour. But it all comes down to support from the fans and if the demand is enough...

Technically this only a JApan game... the LN mentions that the initial release was only in Japan and only 10k copies were released. Also the Japanese Government is footing the bill for all the gamers care. According to the LN. |

FlavoryFantasy said: @MidnightPride to correct you on one thing, its only 10,000 people from Japan. Mainly cause well, the SAO game sever is based in Japan. Plus it's a new game anyway, screw the rest of the world lol. Your right on the parents and police (should add in Japanese gov too). Not like it's okay to just let 10,000 people starve to death in their comatose state or anything... Either way keeping the players alive (in real life that is) will probably be explained in ep 2 anyway... My bad lol I thought it said around the world xD but, regardless your right they wouldn't let 10,000 people just die. They need to get the Japanese Secret Service up in that guys lab and, start hacking those computers and, try to get access to a master account and, start logging people out :S |

Tell me you aren't this internet iliterate. |
| literally the most infantile concept I've ever seen come out of an anime harem fanservice shows don't got nothing on this |
| I felt extremely positive about this. But then again, it is probably also two big things at work. I think of .hack//sign and I hope for something I actually like this time around. And I still daydream about playing one MMORPG or another from time to time. Neither of which have much to do with this actual series. But I think without those at work I would like it anyway. The whole being hesitant around people and wanting to know what's going on has me drawn in. |

Didn't work according to the LN. They did manage to gather intel of the goings on in the game [characters stats mostly, no actual data on the goings on and what is going on]. Spoiler for the anime if they do Volumes 3-4[DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AT THE END OF VOLUME 1 AND MOST LIKELY THE ANIME] |
| I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. And oh no, I kept hearing and seeing Kotetsu whenever Klein spoke. |
| You guys think its good for them not to add magic? |
| Just dropping this off just in case he wasn't trolling... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intravenous_therapy |

I'll refrain from major spoilers but the whole first part of Vol. 4 with the God Mob, not needed at all. xlRevanlx said: You guys think its good for them not to add magic? Actually I do think so... No magic actually makes the game harder [bad if you were in this situation though]. They do have potions and crystals that serve basically the same purpose, but their consumable. So that means they're also valuable. |
