Despite me not liking the main series very much I actually thought this was pretty well done. Got a few laughs from it.

I liked this very much, but am I the only one, who thought of OreImo, when Kirito's Life Counseling came around? (though that could be due to Ayana Taketatsu playing Suguha)

LOL this was nicely made.

So it's a mix of the SAO 4-koma's comedy and putting all the world-building info not given in the rushed SAO adaptation in a news format.

I had just finished watching the Oreimo Commentary Specials, and I was watching there were more anime that did specials like that...

I guess my prayers were answered eh? Seems like it done by the same production company too

The first special was fun and interesting.

Interesting that the levels to clear a floor should be 10 or more above the floor number. Which suggests that when the game ended they were at least level 85, with at least a possible maximum level of 110?

100 is definetely not max level. In the end of SAO Kirito and Asuna had levels 90+.

Did they actually say that? My memory is awful xD.

Well I don't know what the max level is or if there even is one. Just that for lv 100 to be clear-able with the above logic, it must be at least 110.

The best for me of this special was the following one,

That is due to Asuna getting angry at Kirito because she did not know of Lizbet’s whole situation and not even of Keiko herself. So big problems happen there. It was a hilarious little setup and it seems to show Asuna is either jealous of not being part of that girls or that she is cheated.

not quite so.
you need N+10 level just to enter the room, it is only the lowest limit. it doesn't mean you are safe, however, it supposed to mean that you have at least some chances to survive the battle with this level.
despite this rule, it was mentioned that they lost plenty of people clearing the level bosses. it is definitely not safe.

Floors are clearable even if you are not 10+ levels above them. Having such high levels is just recommended to minimize chances of dying, if this was a normal MMO where you could just try a bossfight a few times until everyone does everything right, a lower level would be fine too. By overleveling the encounter the players get a buffer for a few small mistakes.

The levels are probably not capped at 100 since Heathcliff mentions in the murder mystery arc in the LN that the player that oneshot Yolko would have to be at least level 100 to have the stats for such a thing.

You don't need a specific level to enter a boss room. It's obviously not 100% safe if you fuck up hard or if the boss is especially hard (25, 50, 75, 100), but being able to clear every boss in the first try with minimal losses means they were pretty safe. They had scouting parties, were overleveled and every player could immediately teleport away if he was in danger, they were as safe as they could be.

In DeadFish subs, Yui said, that everyone in the boss room was 11+ level. IMO, this means precisely system limits on entering the boss room.
in lineage 2, for example, pretty much every instance has limited level access.

That was her conclusion of the fact that you need to be 10 level above the current content and the fact that nobody wanted to die and played safe.
There are no level barriers.

It explains why it took quite a while (1 month) to clear the first floor. The players needed to raise their levels at least 10 before fighting the boss.

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This was seriously lame and stupid. Nothing new, nothing funny, nothing of any significance whatsoever.

Do not watch is my advice.

But whatever will probably still watch the second episode for some reason.

1/5

I don't know why people are rating this down, are they really expecting heavy plot and heavy action from a BD special?

For most animes, BD specials are just randomness reference to the original series that might or might not be funny if people don't know what they are.

..and this is up to my expectations. 4/5.

Don't continue watching if you are expecting some big twist is going to happen.

HAHAHA, I loved this! XD
Asuna self-roleplaying herself as the prince and Kirito as the princess was too adorable xD

I love how the chosen episode scene was the one where Klein was knocked over by the warthog looking creature LOLOL

and "K-san's" anger markings as Kirito gives his unsatisfactory love counseling was hilarious XD
I like Klein's character, huehuehue C: wouldn't say he's unpopular with the ladies. I'm sure he has some fans out there ;)

and ofc, chibi Yui-chan is utterly adorable <3

Lol, Klein gave himself advice.
