Adding onto what you said they would also need a ventilator and feeding tube. If you want to know exactly how they keep people who are alive that are in a coma then, you can look in the look below. It's basically how they would keep players alive.

http://kidshealth.org/kid/talk/qa/coma.html

It's a pretty basic explanation of what a coma is ( you don't need that part :P ) and, a section on "How Do People Take Care of Someone in a Coma?" ( that's most likely what your interested in if you don't understand how they keep people alive in the RL )

well.... this is the first game that actually enable people to move virtually inside the game.The game want the player to fully utilize the whole body. It won't be fun if people can cast magic just by doing some simple hand movement and chant .

Unless Nerve Gear gives them nutrition and, other stuff they won't stay alive with just the nerve gear ( if thats what you mean? ) but, your are right that when they do wake up if they spent a lot of time without moving their muscles will be stiff and, most likely will need rehab that also includes re building the muscle so they are average strength again.

There was a great explanation of what happened to their bodies at the end of vol. 1...

Stated many times... the Japanese Governemtn foots the bill to have all the remaining players of the 10,000 logged in transferred and cared for at a hospital for the remainder of their stay in the game. They are treated as if they are in a 'brain-dead' coma and everything is taken care of for them [from IV nutrients to waste management].

Also, there is no real information about the last half of the series... We can only guess based on the information at hand, but there has been a bit of debate about whether or not they will include volumes 3-4 [ALO arc]. Personally I think they should in the later half of the series since volume 4 is a much better end than Volume 1 [Vol. 2 is all SS so there is no end].

Then they can take their time to get approval for another run and do the GGO and Mother's Rosario stories [maybe a few SS as well]. After all that... if they can manage to get support, they can tackle Alicization, all in one go. That arc is by far the longest. They could probably manage it in 2 cour.

But it all comes down to support from the fans and if the demand is enough...

if that's the scenario it would be so nice, 'cause vol.4 makes such a much a better end than volume 1

Honestly, volume 1,2,3, and 4 is the best imo, and after that I didn't find the novel as interesting as in SAO arc. Mainly because all the tension is gone since

I'm relieved to see the LN being done justice. From what I can tell some of the characters from volume 2 had a cameo, and Yui was in the ED. I don't know if they're going to mix in the extra stories or leave them for after the vol 1 stuff, but either way It's a very good thing to see them included.

Here's hoping we get a two cour run, and not just 13 episodes, but I won't hold my breath.

This looks like it could be a really fun series! The first anime of Summer 2012 I've decided to pick up! I definitely look forward to seeing how everything plays out. The video game theme really hooked me in. Hopefully there will be some crazy action scenes and emotional character bonds and relationships. Maybe a few dramatic deaths here and there? Who knows? I see great potential with this series, hopefully my expectations are met and exceeded.

Volume 3 and 4 will probably be adapted unless a lot of extra side stories are added and/or each Volume 2 side story is made into 3-4 episodes.

I enjoyed ALO arc [Vol. 3-4] because it was like a continuation... No real tension like SAO but definite emotions. Also GGO arc [vol. 5-6] was also good because it opened a way for Kirito to explore some of the emotional scars he had almost forgot about left from SAO. The rest up to vol. 9 were just filler if you will, but vol. 7 made me cry a lot!

Vol. 9 is the start of the last arc -Alicization- it also has a lot of tension because of the content, but right now there not enough on the story [unless you count the Web series these LN are based on then it's finished] to really understand what's going on. Since vol. 9 is labelled as a prologue to Alicization.

I was thinking more about the spoiler of the end of the volume where Kirito wakes up... Just being cautious.

Alright, so this was a great first episode. Animation is great enough to show the beauty of Aincrad and the Sword Skills are shown well, as well as ingame mechanics. First episode is exactly what it was in the novel so thats a + for me.
The amount of male players that ended up being there (around 80%) was quite a laugh too. I liked how they showed that. Great job.

OVERALL I THINK THIS ANIME WILL BE AMAZING HEHEHEH!

From what I can gather based on the pre-air information... The next episode will start off at the start of the Aria SS. That's the SS that tells you how Kirito and Asuna meet for the first time. Then they join the mission to beat the 1st floor boss. A really good SS and one that tells you that they might very plan to take the story chronologically through the SS then main story.

I wonder how long it will be... It doesn't seem like one episode is enough for the entire SS. Yet, they label the next episode with the term created at the ending of Aria.

Like you I wonder how exactly they will incorporate the second volume. Using flashbacks would not be fitting for anime format. However, I feel that Asuna would be lost as the main heroine with all the other heroines appearing.

This episode was epic, and this anime is epic. When I've heard it's the same author/similar to Accel World, my heart started burning, and the words that I uterred were "You shalt not dissappoint me...".

And so it was...

5/5

The drama was just right, it didn't got cheesy, it introduced us the MC, Art is amazing, Sound is good too, it explained quite a lot about SAO too, it didn't miss anything.

This is already a 10/10 anime.

Not sure how long it'll be but I think they could pull of the entire Aria SS in one episode. They don't need some of it and most of the length is a long explanation from Kirito about the game mechanics. As long as they keep the Beta hate it'll be all good.

Actually there is a fair number of SS that have Asuna in them at least briefly. There is only two that I know of at the moment that don't... First day and Scilica SS. All the others have her in them, at least for a little bit.

Good job at introducing the rules and premise of the show/world. We got a slice of the world but all of the little hints of what else is in the game made me want to watch episode 2 now.

Random Thoughts:
My prediction is the guy who left will end up becoming an enemy of our protagonist in the future.

Really nice background art! Great job A-1 Pictures

Even after the creator's explanation of why he trapped everyone in I still don't quite understand. He just wants to have control over other people? Is it a God Complex? Help!

Really digging it so far. The animation is nice and the whole MMORPG "If I die here I die in life" isn't exactly new but it is kind of refreshing and if done right will be really good.

I especially like how they made Cline look. Read the manga and Cline looked kind of bad to me.(Looked a WHOLE lot older, very unclean, etc.) In the anime they manage to kind of keep his unclean look sort of but at the same time make him look pretty appealing to.

Excited to see how this progresses. :D

I just wish they explained that ONLY ONE PERSON NEEDS TO CLEAR FLOOR 100... A lot of people watching think they all have to clear the floors individually. That's wrong and changes the dynamics of the story a lot.

Maybe they'll explain that later... I didn't thought it's actually like that. I don't see what it changes tho, maybe that without telling anybody that, people will keep on sacrificing themselves to get up there, thus killing off some useless characters.

They won't forget to tell us that tho.

Well there were quite a few players that didn't want to fight because of the chance of death. In fact there were only a handful people willing to actively stay on the Front Lines to try and clear the game. There were also people that weren't on the FL, but helped by support [merchants and information gatherers]. Plus there a few kids that were logged in and are too young and weak to actually go that far.

and yea i guess the anime tried to more or less imply it instead of directly saying it which could cause confusion when people try to predict what happens. Though thats not to say that everyone naturally gets along.

I just wish they explained that ONLY ONE PERSON NEEDS TO CLEAR FLOOR 100... A lot of people watching think they all have to clear the floors individually. That's wrong and changes the dynamics of the story a lot.

Random Thoughts:
My prediction is the guy who left will end up becoming an enemy of our protagonist in the future.

Not to spoil anything, but

I have to say that the last part with the spoiler tag made me laugh a bit xD

and yea i guess the anime tried to more or less imply it instead of directly saying it which could cause confusion when people try to predict what happens. Though thats not to say that everyone naturally gets along.

ahhh too many questions!!!!
I'm definitely too excited about this series haha

Wait wait wait hold the phone. If the head gear kills them by microwave radiation then why don't the police/hospitals just use RF/microwave shielding around the person's head and then kill the power to the servers? I'm not sure if this is explained later on or not but it's relatively easy to block microwave radiation waves. I suppose it might be a little hard shoving material under the head gear and over the person's head but judging from the photos of people with the head gear on, it looks possible.

Could also just put a large magnet(s) to the head gear to fry the circuit board. Even if the battery still works, it wont be much use if the head gear doesn't function.

This is a terrorist attempting (and in some ways, already succeeding in) genocide. They had damn well better explain how he's not going to be stopped, and fast.

Also, how do they sustain their real-world bodies?

If you ask me they should just use a small EMP or EMI to shut the gear down ( battery and all ) take it off. The problem they dont know what will happen if they try something like that. The kid could die or something which is why they wouldn't try anything

Regardless of what happens the possibility of surviving is low so it would be best to leave the kids alone and hope they either win or hack SAO server to force log out all players.

Same way they would if the children where in a coma read here for information about coma , how they keep people alive and, what happens after they wake up

Good question, I wonder too
Although idk much about microwave radiation, your theory looks plausible
I wonder too if this question explained in the novel or not

But, for me it's more enjoyable to not questioned too much detail of the anime, different case with novel though
