Murder and Marriage dun dun dun!

It adds realism. If you leave a sandwich out on a table for an extended period, it will putrefy and become gross. So if you could make a sandwich in a video game last forever, it removes said realism from the game. Many RPGs have similar systems already.

Oh i see what you mean like if it goes bad you get negative attributes or a penalty i know what you mean but i've never played a game where food aged but i've played where food was already spoiled like in fallout you'd get rads from eating bad food..stuff like that.

Have they mentioned that food increases health or anything, i remember them saying something that the food doesn't do anything but the eat it to feel alive or something.

I enjoyed the episode, although I have read the LN, I am taking this at face value, and I am loving it.

Not sure if users here will rage at me for mentioning something from the LN (just started reading since ep5) but in the episode with that girl with the dragon, ep3 iirc, Kirito drank some tea when they went into that cafe/restaurant and said it increases dex in the LN, cant recall for anime episode.

your missing the point, Kayaba (creator of SAO) wanted to make the game as realistic as possible, that includes food expiring

there is a time limit on how long food lasts, when it reaches its limit it expires and becomes mouldy food that can damage your health if you eat it or give you food poisoning

there are also area limits where if you take food out of a certain restaurant it will expire 5 minutes later, so you can't take out good foods and deliver them, this is why frontline players don't usually eat good food most of the time as good food that doesn't expire are usually handmade by players who have a high cooking level and are actually bothered to get ingredients, this makes the food expensive and makes it one the few pleasures of SAO

It's not uncommon for some games to have rewards that don't affect the game, but that are there rather for flavor, with this case being literal.

The item in question is called 'Ruby Ichor' and it was from somewhere outside the shop.

I liked this episode. So much character/relationship developments. Mah OTP forevah! <3

This is my thoughts in a nutshell, this arc wasn't terrible just going by the anime methinks... but dear lawrd they cut alot of script, scenes and a major character. LN is better for sure

"Romance and Plastic" LOL!

This time im soo pissed off .. I used to watch SAO online .. Everyweek it turned out quick . Last week I watched Episode 5 "10 pm Local time. This week ohh boy .. I had to wait untill 2 am .. then I broke and went and download the episode .. and i never done that before .. But Anyways .. Yeah downloading is better .. HQ Fullscreen ..

But for the Episode .. well there isn't very much I can say about it ..

For this week's
SAO vs Accel World ..

Accel World takes the Cake ..

Don't Read the spoiler unless you watched a little bit of the manga
EDIT: Read* not watched .. obviously you read a Manga not watch it :P

Wish people would stop talking about the light novel in here. Its really getting annoying.

Great conclusion to the arc. Loved the chemistry between Kirito and Asuna. Lastly, they've introduced Laughing Coffin now as the bad PK guild.

5/5

The manga for SAO is horribly slow, imo.

I heard the next episode is going to be another side story.

I liked this episode just for the interaction between Kirito and Asuna :/

3/5

It's romantic and plastic!

Honestly, same. I only enjoyed their discussions, the overall episode and mystery was a bore.

erm, there are some quests that were mentioned that give you food as a reward that increases your stats but nothing about actual bought food that does the same thing

there is nothing in the LN about already spoilt food like in fallout, it usually becomes expired and then disappears as it rots, which is different from fallout where the food doesn't expire and gives you rads where it will eventually make you sick unless you visit a doctor

players mainly eat because even though they know that their body is being fed through a tube, in their minds they haven't eaten and they feel hungry in their head which can affect your thinking when you are activating sword skills/battling, so its like food for thought, literally

also food is one of the few pleasures of SAO, which can relieve the stress of playing a death game

ehh best part of this was that ending KIRITO X ASUNA is slowly on it's way seems pretty set and stone that their gonna get married later on

looking forward to when they get back to the frontlines

teloportation and armor heatlh kill are a combo to deceive death, that was clever

not a bad episode this week that was a good watch
