so there wont be a new episode for a while? this is the last one?


Nope, a trailer was released. The Calibur arc begins this coming Saturday (10/18) and the Mother Rosary arc begins November 8th.

I've never read the LN so I'm speaking clueless but three weeks for an arc gives us three episodes, which seems extremely short.
It's a short arc, only one chapter long.

I made the mistake of watching this... after marathon-watching eps 11 to 14. Yeah.

That was actually a really well done recap episode.
It was more of an Abridged telling, rather then a recap of the event.

A lot of people hating on this episode, but I thought it was nice to watch. No new material besides some of Sinon's narration of the past events (which made it seem not as redundant) , but I think they showed some of the series most important moments pretty well.

Nothing new at all.

Sometimes nice to have a review... kinda forgot a lot of the details from the beginning.

Pretty much a recap from episode 1-14 from SAO II but im guessing it had a brake after episode14/halfway through the anime and did this before starting it again. im i right? but then again its halfway through and guessing they want to recap it all when is was airing and all, before starting a new story. but think in overall it was okay.
cause MAL is doing there job for once.

GG when you point your own gun at yourself between a tug-of-war.

=/ Still dunno why there are laser swords in a gun game. Do they answer that in the anime?

What's the point in having a recap that airs at the same time as the show though.

I can think of two reasons, recapping the whole arc to move to the next one for once and for all, and the fact that the show aired weekly, so by episode 14, there would have been 14 weeks (if there were no breaks in between) since the show started, maybe some people would want a refresher on what happened.

However, for us binge-watchers now, it loses every reason to exist, unless, people would take breaks in-between arcs to if they ever decided to continue watching, there is always going to be a recap to set them up.

Sometimes it's because they need an extra week of production time for the next episode, so they throw together a clip show. The anime Shirobako discusses this issue a few times. The director of that show also directed Girls und Panzer a few years earlier, which needed two recap episodes. Even worse, they still aired all twelve real episodes, so the last two were delayed three months until they could find a time slot in that upcoming March.

So, yeah, it could have been that they simply ran out of time trying to get Episode 15 out the door.

Maybe not, though.
