It was adapted well enough although I was really looking forward to Asuna and Kirito's lunch with _______________. Hopefully the second half also gets adapted well!

Oh and.. my waifu is back!

Oh wow, so Doujins DO become canon, they incorporated parts of the Materia Edition 1: The Progressers.

So even fanfics the author writes CAN become canon hahahahaha.

But I am truly happy that they did this adaptation really well. Has most of the Mystery and details in it. :3

Believe me, disappointing to ppl who haven't read them as well.

This episode just felt rushed kinda and tried to force feelings on me again. The reactions and stuff were mehhh at most and and I just felt bored and kinda lol at how ooc were the reactions. The only interesting thing was the end when she was atked and died. The only interesting thing rly.

Geez, I rly can't wait till the 7th epi when the plot is supposed to pick up and have a decent story for once.

Well, I mean. This is the best I could ask for. At least they did it with TWO episodes and not fucking forced this arc in only 1 episode. Can't even imagine that.

It was mentioned in the Novels that middle-floor mostly hear rumors about "The Black Swordsman" only the Frontliners and other solo peepz know what he looks like.

Black IS a very common color after all

Wow, they didn't try to fit it into one episode this time..... I'm surprised. It still felt rushed though. At least Asuna was really cute this episode.
And for some reason, the guild name "Golden Apple" always reminds me of Touhou. Maybe I've been playing too much games....
Good episode nonetheless, though I have to admit this is one of the weaker SS, IMO.

I only read until volume 7 so I didn't read the short story for this. That being said, I knew ever since she was introduced that either she was the murderer or she would be killed. It was obvious she wouldn't survive.

IDK... I might drop this... It already fulfilled its job for me anyway. Anime's are made so the original format gets more publicity. In this case, the SAO anime was made so that more people would read the light novels. (For the most part anyway). After seeing the first episode, I started reading the Light Novels. Now I'm just meh. The episodes are really boring. Nothing happens in them and an anime of this type doesnt do well being episodic. It needs a plot that goes through more then one episode. This episode started it... but IDK... I think they made a bad decision when they decided to make it all chronological. The short stories aren't part of the main novel for a reason. They have nothing to do with the major plot. This is filler. They should get to the important stuff and pace it better.
That being said, the art is really nice.... and the special effects are too... but that won't keep me around. The first episode was very promising- but the rest of the series is just not working. They didn't translate it into anime properly. They made it way too boring and slowed the pace way too much.

There are just 2 words to describe this episode: Dat asses. But srls, why did they included those ass shots? That fanservice was really out of place.

Well, I didn't really like or dislike this episode. Well, but I still kind of curious what happens next, so... 5/5.

(And as I said last week, I'm kind of sick of these extra stories.)

I was talking about that with a friend but the general consensus is Herp Derp the series costs a lot so we gonna shove some asses around to make more money somehow. Pretty much the bolded. I am not surprised of that but I would prefer they find better ways to do it. The easy way is not always the best for all series TBH.

finally watched it, they animated the start of this story well, they added in all the clues and mystery as well as explaining asuna and kirito's relationship on the frontlines, i just loved that scene where asuna caught kirito napping under a tree, it was hilarious watching that whole scene animated

the only thing which could have been improved would probably be to actually have kirito pierce himself like he did in the LN but i guess that scene worked too with asuna scolding him for being reckless, also i loved the "my friends a merchant but is busy at this time" its nice foreshadowing to episode 7 "warmth of the heart"

im not gonna say anything about that whole scene at the end, people may criticize how it seems forced but it all comes together in the next ep

also i would like to remind all the Light Novel readers to keep hush hush about what happens next, no one likes a spoiler, especially when its really good

LOL same I thought that must be a powerful ass dagger too, or maybe the fall helped?
But it's sad to see her go though she had a great ass

Asuna became a little stuck up upon joining that guild huh? Well not that much seeing as they still got along.

Anyways, I do love me some mystery

Kirito and Asuna are an interesting pair and their scenes together were nice; however... the mystery really did not pique my curiosity. I mean, I found myself asking why I should care about the Golden Apple guild just because someone went all Gollum on their leader's ass because "their precious" ring was going to be sold.

Im really glad they didn't cut off anything from that scene ( The part when Asuna caught Kirito napping ). That was one of the most important scene for their relationship's development. Im so glad even the speech is the same.

Good episode, just an assumption here but from what I observed the purple haired girl wasn't PKed, I think she died from falling damage. I could go as far to argue that the dagger that hit her didn't even damage her and she just fell from shock.
Another much more far unlikely answer could be that she didn't die at all and she simply teleported out of the town upon hitting the floor, I doubt it myself but she does not have an alibi for the murder meaning she is suspicious so no matter how dumb it is I am definatly going to try and keep it in mind.

Don't remember ever reading this arc anywhere, but I do remember reading the sleeping scene from near the end of the 1st Volume. Asuna is finally back so idc.
I guess I should pick up on the novel and read volume 8 sometime soon (Side story for this arc)

Believe me Kirito and Asuna don't really care about the Golden Apple guild that much either, they are not doing this because of them. They are only really looking into it to see how people are getting killed in safe areas, where pk or death should be impossible.
