THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Episode one is already here in Mexico, I don't about u guys out there, but it is still in raw.

Btw, I can't provide any link, co'z I've only watch this from a Satellite TV which we were able to leech from a Border Patrol detachment at Tijuana.

None here yet... can't wait :D

You couldn't have possibly seen the episode because it didn't air even in Japan yet.
Proof: http://countdown.mandragon.info/
-.-"

pre-screening got leaked?

cant find it anywhere on the net please post the link if you have it

Dude he's lying, he just wanted to start the thread.

It's not like we don't already know what it is, though

Training alone -> flashback -> training with Chine -> big announcement in town square -> episode ends

IT'S AIRING NOW! My proof is the opening in the following spoiler very nice with the added city view and that one male getting ready to fight. Along with IRL computer to go online.

Apart from that I shall start what really blew me off hard. The first thing is him in the following,

Along with the spoiler when that shit happens, it was quite the adrenaline WTF rush. Even my friend was like THIS IS BAD! The black magician looks like the one from Sailor Moon Season 3 of the USA version. Man that red shit was also crazy.

What came even more shocking is in the spoiler DEAD? Are you seriously shitting me from a game? Quite the thrill and in fact I can’t believe it since I never read anything else of this series. You really die on the spot with 0 HP. That is horrible! Terrible! The game is certainly not worth the risk of your life.

About the beginning, it was great in the spoiler the characters are rich enough for my eyes. The setting surely is reminder of something like Diablo 3 Act 2 part. To say the least.

About Cline’s field practice, quite nice for moves in the spoiler adding of course the little MOB monster. I was impressed with SFX and light used along with the setting.

About Cline’s hand shake, well that part in the spoiler showed how rich Cline was in his expression. I agree with my friend he can be quite hysterical but funny at times. Though a little bit of a whiner. What really was amazing in this part is the setting and the sun. Both melding nicely.

About SHIT HITS THE FANS! Yeah that was quite the shocker in the spoiler that bleeding hand but also how comedy got put in in the form of Cline meeting Kazuto whom I know his moves and all now that I spoiled myself.

About the girls, for one Rika "Liz, Lizbeth" Shinozaki in the spoiler is well done. I like her appearance from this. I know a little of her but I want to see how she is expressed in what I know of her from the little spoilers gathering on the net.

This girl in the spoiler looks also adorable, however I am curious as to her role in this series. I hope it’s not cattle food to see getting killed.

About thee end, nice leaving off with Cline and Kazuto in the spoiler I like how they show the level and Hps. Rather neat TBH. There is also random girl going outside of her place that perhaps more will be shown later.

About OP/ED? (which one exactly?) the most that pleases me is the following,

Now that is nice of Kazuto along with the spoiler showing him running, it’s perfect.

The other element I like is how Yuuki Asuna, whom I claim already for myself no matter who else does and the other girl in the spoiler are shown and depicted. For one Asuna has a reflection so she will have 2 sides of her to deal with in terms of her character I am sure while the other one seems to be shown in total innocence whom LN readers I am sure know already. Other than that the list tells more.

• The 2 swords in the spoiler
  
  
  manage to captivate. I assume one is of Asuna and the other of Kazuto? Well certainly the darker one is of my liking. WTF is Cloud’s sword? ROFL!
  
  
• The Tombstone with the names in the spoiler
  
  
  rather very pleasing but most of all the heavy reminder of death being quite present. Still a scary shit to see this emitting from a game.
  
  
• The character intros in the spoiler
  
  
  in general are nicely shown and have a good background each propitious to their character. Rather very well done.
  
  
• The monster catch in the spoiler
  
  
  shows and reminds of some nice monster killing despite being limited, I think it depicts well enough to remind a little.
  
  
• Finally a nice depiction of Asuna and Kazuto in the spoiler
  
  
  leaves a lot to desire. A show of friendship but perhaps eventually developing more as this scene shows them eating alone together or about to and just the 2 of them.

Suffice to say a very well done OP/ED? Whichever it is. Art nice.

So this series will be kind of Bokurano meets virtual reality in where once the player’s HP are 0 they die IRL. I was axing more the art being kind of like Valkyria Chronicles but alas not quite. Still strong 8/10 to start from me.

BTW The End pic in the spoiler

is a right click to save NOW! The art is amazing to say the least. Jaw is dropped.

Feels so bad not being able to watch this one live ._.
Damn Tokyo MX, it should be public property.

lol at the scene where the girl is revealed to be a guy. Well, this should be interesting.

I know the feel, I don't even know if I"ll be able to watch it before I have to go. ;_;

Well, I don't wanna be that guy, but after what they did to accel world, I'm not really all that excited for this adaptation.

quite a nice episode >.<b

F*CK YEAH. My expectations were revived at the very last moment: "Beater" as the next episode name. Looks like this is going to be epic.

Nice. the subs are out... that was fast

That's because CR is showing it.

It was okay. The creator of this game is kind of a dick.

nice episode... cant believe its already 72 on top anime list

SUCH an amazing episode o_O

That scientist is a nut....

Ah, finally got to watch it.
And it's more or less just how I expected it to be. Fantastic.
I'm going to love this show.
Also, OP's great.

Thinking they might go a bit too far by the next episode, but the pacing in this episode was great.

Edit: On another note, I just realized something.
Sword Art Online ruined my gaming life. It's more or less impossible to enjoy even the greatest of games when it's nowhere near the experience you'd get by playing SAO.
I so want a game like that. If only I was born in the early 21st century instead of the late 20th century. Oh well, just another 10 years to go!

omg i like it :| no srsly i wanna play it :| <333 i know it's novel but i wanna know if there's ps3 or xbox ver of this game cuz it seems soooo addicting *__*

back to the actual episode lol i didn't expect much of this anime or the whole season tbh but it's actually so good!

5\5

Ugh hopefully it doesn't suck.

Watched it, ridiculously faithful. I have high hopes for this; check the entry for more information, but it really should be great. As long as shit is adapted the way it was presented, faithfully and well, it'll be a great watch.
