Way too rushed. Seriously, I could hardly feel for the characters. And no Santa fight? WTF? And is it just me, or are light novel adaptations just being massacred right now? Campione! is a joke, Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai isn't too faithful from what I've heard, Hagure Yuusha no Estica is only a little better, and now this. It's a shame because all of those had potential.


That's what Im thinking after I watch these Anime consecutively. I basically can't understand a shit on what is going on in Campione! and I haven't read it's LN. Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai doesn't follow the real storyline and keeps on changing the happenings. Im not sure about Hagure Yuusa but I must say the LN adaptations are just getting shitter.

I hope a good Production Studio saves us from this crisis.

Just remember that this is episode 3/25. There is still time for this to get better hopefully.


25 is the legit number of episodes of SAO? How'd you know?

Fine, let me fix that then, this is episode 3 of a 2 cour anime, there is still time for this to get better hopefully.

So close to dropping this. My hopes and dreams for this anime that I got at episode 1 have been crushed and if episode 4 does not do justice then it's dropped.

All right, what the hell? why is this show going so quickly? There is so much potential and each episode what i think could go down is shot down in an instant. Over the course of this one episode Kirito makes it to at least floor 35, and it's been a year. A year? Really, in 3 episodes we've already gone through over a year and a few months? What are they expecting we do from here? I know theres a whole light novel series, and i have no idea if the writer did the exact same thing or they are skipping all this stuff to fit stuff in later. But on these first 3 episodes I'm am just super disappointed. It's still interesting, but all i can think about is what the hell is going on that makes skipping a year okay!
As i said i know nothing about the source material, but even so this makes no sense to me. According to wikipedia, there is 25 episodes. we are 3 episodes in, a year has gone by and they are on the 35th floor. You couldn't show anything? ANYTHING?! Right now, there no news as to whats going on outside which is fine, this is understandable(but it would add another level of coolness to see whats going on). Unless things change fast i am not gonna be very happy with the rest of the series.

Shoving in this guild, and then giving them 10 minutes of screen time doesn't make me feel for them! Have them meet up..then throughout the episode work together, get to know them, then tear them away from us next ep. not 10 minutes after meeting them. They were together 5 months? We see none of that. There are way better ways top be doing this. Maybe this'll pay off. they have to get this stuff out of the way for the really cool stuff later on and thats what they are making room for. but right now, having watched these three episodes leave an incredibly bad taste in my mouth.

Anyway. I like Klein. It's a shame Kirito is so insistent on being a solo player even though he isn't(once again, all we see is him working with people. haven't really seen him solo aside from his most recent fight with the Santa boss).

Theres really not much for me to say, I don't know why kirito thought when he killed the santa claus he would actually get an item that could save someone from dying from 6 months ago, but i guess when you live in a virtual reality world all sense goes out the window.

Can't say I'm looking forward to next weeks ep, but I'll be looking to how in what new and exciting ways I'll be disappointed.
I sometimes watch lots of anime.
I sometimes write reviews of said anime at my website.

Quick note, I'll put in spoiler what is actually a spoiler. I might discuss some material that should have been animated this episode but didn't outside a spoiler tags.



Thanks for that, helped clear things up abit. Might as well get on the LN as well Dx

- So apparently this is only the back story or a flashback of Kirito's memories?, if thats the case then I guess it's kind of understandable why things feel a little unclear. I guess they're trying to just put the key parts across, hopefully once the "Main" storyline starts things will develop alot better.


The "main storyline" should start at episode 6 in my opinion. Except for episode 1, all the episodes so far (including the next and very likely the next after this one) are side stories. These side stories are important, two of them are very important even so I think that we shouldn't make a distinction between them and the 'main story'.

Another thing that might not have made that chapter as strong as it was in the LN is that we knew that they would die before we even read it.
In the LN it was mentioned a few time before so we actually knew that these character would die. When we read the chapter for the first time we already knew how the final would turn out, this chapter wasn't meant to be a bad surprise or anything of the like. It was pure character developement and it was badly reflected with this episode.

in a spoiler tag for you


also just clearing things up, kirito didn't reach that high of a level that quickly, it was over a period of months where he was training by himself at night in dangerous places while the "black cats" were asleep, after they died his training became even more drastic where he sacrificed sleep and fought multiple dangerous monsters that should be fought when you are in a party but he solo'd them in order to reap all the xp and level up as much as possible, what he did was essentially mad but he did it anyway because he was clinging onto the hope that he can save sachi

although they said it in the anime, or more specifically argo, they didn't really make it clear what kirito had been through in order to get so far

This definitively could have run for 2x26 episodes, there was far enough material for that but at the pace this is going this is going to have covered most of the material by episode 26.
SAO is currently divided into 3 parts, let's say that it's very obvious that they are trying to rush the first two parts to put them into a 26 episode serie (13 episodes each parts).
It could and should have been 24-26 episode each parts, this would only have made this wonderfull serie better. I wouldn't mind at all to have them animated only the first part, then the second if the sale were good enough but it seem the director didn't had much hope for it and chosed to rush everything a lot.

I'm not a LN reading and I already stated it feels incredibly rush, and thanks for the info.

Also getting a lot of vibe that the girls gonna reappear later on again. Though it feels kinda obvious which her in the opening and in the profile picture and all.

Overall, I was disappointed the episode didn't have a single scene with Asuna. I at the very least hope she wont be as negative as Kirito has been since the start of this series. The series really needs a mood change.

Quit saying that all LN adaptions are rushed and that it's acceptable. I can name quite a few LN adaptions that never felt as rushed as this anime did. You don't even need to have read the light novel to know that the pacing after episode two has been going far too fast.

This should've been extended into two episodes, possibly three. Even if the series does end up being 25 episodes, considering the major hype over this (All the 10 volumes of the LN reached the top in sells, that says something.) if they're able to animate the series right then a season two wouldn't be unlikely to cover the entire material. I had some pretty high hopes for this, but things just keep on getting worse by the episode.

They did this part right. You don't actually get the details from the fight, you just see him with barely any health remaining and him looting. Then...you see him view the item information... then cry out...like pure emotional screaming....Kirito... T_T

That was honestly just horrible. Awful. Abysmal. The writing in this was poor beyond belief and how anybody is expected to give a crap about Kirito and that girl is beyond me when she's shown in a couple scenes for maybe 5 minutes of total screentime. It felt incredibly forced and melodramatic.

And don't even get me started on the pacing.

I agree. It would be awesome if they could Animate all of it without that kind of rushing and I wouldn't mind too if they just Animate Volume One and Two but explain every important details and show what SAO is all about. "The director didn't had much hope for it" There's no one else I can blame except the staffs. *Disappointed at A-1 Pictures.

Ehh...the episode itself wasn't too bad but it was extremely rushed. Everything was moving at a pace too quick. Sachi was in the episode for about 10 minutes so I don't really know how Kirito could have gotten that attached to her. This episode really could have been dragged out into 2-3 episodes on its own. I'll give this a few more episodes but I really hope it slows down, otherwise I'll have to drop it.

I really enjoyed the first episode a lot and was hoping this series wouldn't feel rushed, but after watching the third episode I feel like I have to drop my score I had as a 9 before to an 8.

Don't get me wrong though, it still seems very interesting but it's the pacing of the anime.

Wow, What's with all the damned babies on this forum? You guys seriously don't get it do you....You know books that get movie adaptations? You know why movies can't fit all content from one book? I rest my case. So shut the hell up and enjoy the anime. If you don't enjoy it then just gtfo.

Now I can see that pacing is the main problem of SAO. I wonder if it will cover only volume 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 as well?
This episode felt rushed indeed, not enough time for character development too.
I still think this ep is pretty good though
At least they will not rushed and will do the main story properly, I hope..

Lol?
That sure did escalate quickly...
Where did I said I hate the serie? I like it but it doesn't change my right of expressing my opinion about it which I did.
But what did you do? Whine about people that didn't enjoy it as much as you? Aren't you the one that should just gtfo?
This is a discussion thread, not an agreefest or a bandwaggon.
Discussion is held when people hold different point of view.

You can like something without thinking it is perfect and pointing out the flaws does not mean I actually hate it.
You are entitled to defend your opinion, but if you are butthurt because you just can't and start using some random not pertinent argument in an attempt to make lose credibility you would do well to just get out of the internet.

What was he expecting? You die in the game, you die for real. I don't know how long it had been since the ambush, but, assuming I didn't already know about the 10 second thing, I would assume an hour max before the person's real-life death. And if she'd been dead in real life for any longer than a day, how the hell was he thinking she could be saved?

Quick note, I'll put in spoiler what is actually a spoiler. I might discuss some material that should have been animated this episode but didn't outside a spoiler tags.



Thanks for that, helped clear things up abit. Might as well get on the LN as well Dx

- So apparently this is only the back story or a flashback of Kirito's memories?, if thats the case then I guess it's kind of understandable why things feel a little unclear. I guess they're trying to just put the key parts across, hopefully once the "Main" storyline starts things will develop alot better.


Wow, What's with all the damned babies on this forum? You guys seriously don't get it do you....You know books that get movie adaptations? You know why movies can't fit all content from one book? I rest my case. So shut the hell up and enjoy the anime. If you don't enjoy it then just gtfo.


Lol?
That sure did escalate quickly...
Where did I said I hate the serie? I like it but it doesn't change my right of expressing my opinion about it which I did.
But what did you do? Whine about people that didn't enjoy it as much as you? Aren't you the one that should just gtfo?
This is a discussion thread, not an agreefest or a bandwaggon.
Discussion is held when people hold different point of view.

You can like something without thinking it is perfect and pointing out the flaws does not mean I actually hate it.
You are entitled to defend your opinion, but if you are butthurt because you just can't and start using some random not pertinent argument in an attempt to make lose credibility you would do well to just get out of the internet.


I complete agree with the about quoted post. People are free to express their opinions and this is an "open discussion" about SAO Episode 3. Not everyone feels the same way you do and you can't expect everyone to have the same opinion you do. Maybe people are pointing things out that concern or bother them because they really like the SAO LN's and they want the anime to be good as well or they just don't like something about the SAO anime. Whatever the case is people are free to state their opinion, just don't expect everyone to feel the same way you do, also no one needs to "shut the hell up" or "gtfo" that's just flat out rude. >_>;

Am I the only person who liked this episode without having to mention the word "rushed"? Yes I've read the Light Novel and no I'm not complaining. Basically provided background info for the future episodes and isn't that the main point?

Except if they were able to get 50 episodes for SAO then it would've definitely been a masterpiece and actual top 10 of all times.

Having 20ish episodes is very limiting thus removing a lot of important information and development from the LN.

All of the novel readers are saying it was rushed, but for those of use who haven't read it, it held a heavy punch! Powerful stuff!

What was he expecting? You die in the game, you die for real. I don't know how long it had been since the ambush, but, assuming I didn't already know about the 10 second thing, I would assume an hour max before the person's real-life death. And if she'd been dead in real life for any longer than a day, how the hell was he thinking she could be saved?


When Kirito joined the guild, the lattest floor that was cleared was the floor 26th.
At the christmas event he was on the floor 46th, basically months have passed since then.
What he hoped was that once someone die in SAO they aren't killed right away but either put in sleep or in another room waiting for the game to unfold. If the game was cleared then everyone that died in the game would be alive but if nobody managed to clear the game, they would all get executed at the same time.

They do not know what happen after death, nobody in that games knows. They know that if you try to remove the game physically then you will die but that's obviously for them to remain on the game.
Now if they were to die in the game, would they die straightaway in the real world too? Nobody can answer and in such a hopeless world as SAO everyone is living on this kind of hopes, that they won't die and even if they do they'll still be able to stay alive.
The situation just feel so unreal for most of the players that you can't help but understand them clinging on such hopes.

So it just hit me.

Can't this whole thing be sorted out by an EMP? Are these people retarded or something?

Other than that still an entertaining show.

he went crazy after sachi's death and keita's suicide, if you had a chance to revive someone who you cared about, you would take it no matter how small it may be, even if it is unlikely or seems impossible, you will still cling on to that shred of hope, thats essentially what kirito was doing although the anime didn't portray that as well as the LN

also who knows what might have happened to her body, she might have her memories saved into the server or something, if you are inside the game how can be sure of whats happening on the outside

Its true that SAO LN is a lot better but in the anime,the whole 8 volumes of the novel are in chronological order which is far better.
The episode was surprisingly better than i expected.
