<\/a><\/p>\nToken girl aside, they seem pretty interesting… or at least as interesting as a guild can come off as within the first couple minutes before the opening sequence. Interesting to know that the entire group knew each other from their school\u2019s computer club irl. Any mentioning of a computer club in my animoo makes me think of the one from Haruhi<\/em>. Oh, Day of the Sagittarius…<\/p>\n Good to know they addressed the one thing I was gonna get ready to gripe about had it not been brought up. Just who exactly is in charge of publishing the paper? Did the people that gave up on fighting and stayed in the villages decide to pick it up to at least be somewhat useful? Does Akihiko just send everyone status updates on what everyone else is doing? (sidenote: Picked up where I left off in Persona 3 Portable. Akihiko remains the one character whose dialogues I actually listen to all the way through if I\u2019m tired of listening to Junpei\/Vic McDerpaderp).<\/p>\n I wonder if the show\u2019ll take a page out of other RPGs and give the girl characters super skanky armor that somehow provides the most in terms of defense. Considering the length of Sachi\u2019s skirt, I\u2019d say it\u2019s decent for someone below level 30, but any level higher and she might have to start skimming through catalogs for something new to equip…<\/p>\n Oh the whuu? Coulda sworn the twist at the end of the first episode was that Klein was one of the first to die in the world. Woulda really set quite the unforgiving tone throughout the rest of the series. I mean, I guess it\u2019s nice to see a familiar face, but still… eh, I guess it\u2019s what I get for not paying as much attention as I should be while watching.<\/p>\n A \u201ctrack\u201d option? Because girl gamers didn\u2019t need any more reason to feel less inclined to play this game. Maybe it\u2019s something only higher levels could do since her guild didn\u2019t really seem to bother to find her themselves. Kirito and his level 48-ness, I tells ya. He probably gets unlimited storage in his dropbox.com account with stats like his.<\/p>\n Friggin Kirito, maxing out his social link. Actually, now that I brought it up, I wonder how \u201cintimate interactions\u201d would transfer to the real world. There was already some kind of technical mumbo jumbo about how your mind is fooled into thinking it ate in the real world by eating in SAO, but what about… blah, I\u2019ll stop there. It\u2019s definitely not the type of animoo to even warrant that amount of thinking towards.<\/p>\n I could understand bringing in Klein for all of two seconds into the episode, but to introduce the guild this episode only to kill them off halfway through? And then to quickly jump to Christmas Eve? Cold-blooded of you, SAO.<\/p>\n The whole bit with Kirito\u2019s search for the rare item seemed incredibly rushed to me. Half the episode was used to try and build up the guild\u2019s character as a whole which was alright, but nothing special making me not really care when things bleed into the second half of the episode. While I\u2019m not tired of Kirito\u2019s character, I will say I\u2019d care for him more if the episode took the time to linger on some of the more important things he\u2019s gone through in this world. Maybe not a Casshern Sins<\/em> level of linger, but a significant amount more than what I\u2019m seeing so far.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
