It seems Argo will be in the next episode, according to the preview on the previous page Hmm. The order is messed up though xD. It is also weird that episode 1 is a side story and not 1 from volume 1. Huh? Episode 1 was no side story. It was chapter 2-4 from volume 1 if I remember correctly. Episode 2 was a side story, but I read somewhere they'll be doing the story in chronological order. If they did it in order wouldn't Rondo of the Transient Sword be next ? The trailer for the next ep didnt look like it was set during that chapter The next one will be Red-Nosed reindeer, and Rondo of the Transient Sword has only been recently released, and the content for the first 5 episodes or so was already determined, because we already knew the titles of those |

Tsuntenshi said: TK8 said: The next one will be Red-Nosed reindeer, and Rondo of the Transient Sword has only been recently released, and the content for the first 5 episodes or so was already determined, because we already knew the titles of those Ah ok, whats the content (by title of volume-chapter) for the first 5 episodes then ? Episode 1 is from chapter 2-4 from volume 1 Episode 2 is Aria in the starless night Episode 3 is titled "The Red-Nosed Reindeer" after the same named side story in volume 2 Episode 4 is titled "The Black Swordsman" which I assume is also from the same named side story in volume 2 Episode 5 is titled "A Murder Case in the Area" which I assume is from the same named side story in volume 8 |

| This was a lot less predictable than the first episode,seems more promising now. |
 |
| This was vastly better then the first episode. Can't make sense of MC personality though |
| Quick question. There isn't supposed to be magic in SAO, so was that a healing potion he tried to give Diabel? It seems inconsistent. (If so, why wouldn't Diabel have taken it?) |

While this has been covered a good many times already, I guess it's a bit too much to ask for people to read all of the previous pages. Diabel was already dead before his HP bar went down all the way- the game was just, essentially, showing his death slowly. The potion would not have worked because he was already "dead" anyways- that one hit had taken the rest of his HP. It also wouldn't have worked because the potions in SAO are heal-over-time potions, and the ones in the lower levels aren't worth crap. The next episode covers a much-coveted item that SAO is a bitch of a game to play. The difficulty level is INSANE. Serious, in what game do you grind EXP and level up for one month straight, and then still have to fight the first boss with a party?! That should explain a lot to anyone who reads it- including why the idiots who ran out into the fields to hunt on the first day all got slaughtered. |

| Great teamwork between those two. Now I want a Coat of Midnight myself too. |
| i get the feeling the next episodes will be rushed as hell, if the 3ird episode really is red nosed reindeer and the 4th is the black swordsman, then i can already guess the content of both |
 |
| That player is better than us so he must be a cheater! - F*ck Logic ! |
| Do you think they will explain what's going on with there real world bodies in the show? |

That grind was the biggest bitch, and the author, Reki Kawahara wrote based on his experiences on Ragnarok Online and Ultima Online, and also had abit of help on terms. Oh man Ragnarok nostalgia *o* |

Oh man Ragnarok nostalgia *o* I knew Reki Kawahara based SAO off of Ragnarok and Ultima (courtesy of Netto_Azure), but I haven't played either. I was kind of late to the party in those cases, so to speak. I have, however, played Dark Souls. I would like to think that it's either comparable to Ragnarok's difficulty, as you mentioned here, or that Ragnarok couldn't possibly be any harder. If such a thing is even exists, it should be killed with fire and then nuked from space, for good measure. |
| Great episode I have to say even I though I first watched the episode and then read the novel XDD Anyways, Kirito and Asuna are great together :) |
| I hope this anime will get 2 or 3 season at least |

If such a thing is even exists, it should be killed with fire and then nuked from space, for good measure. Aww someone mentioned me. :-) pRO will always have a place in my heart. Loved the Archer class so much. True soloing right there xD But yeah several things contributed to the 1-2 month time lag for the first dungeon. 1. They established the 10 levels above the current Floor standard to create a reasonable buffer zone of safety. 2. There was a limited amount of resources and EXP due to the 8k players having to compete for them ON A SINGLE FLOOR. Whose rate of satisfaction drops as u gain more levels. 3. Multiple scouting and mapping parties needed to risk their lives to find the Boss floor in the Floor Dungeon. 4. It needed someone charismatic like Diabel to infuse confidence and establish a viable raiding party that already had enough experience playing in a totally new environment. So please realize that SAO is a difficult game to play already in the beginning, just think why? |

| pretty decent episode. the best show this season, easily. |
 |
| Being Kirito is suffering already, looking forward to next episode although i didn't expect it to be animated chronologically. It would make more sense to do it later due to flashbacks/mentions of these events later. |

| Something bothers me. If they don't eat outside the game, then how do their bodies stay healthy? Eating in game only fools your body, it can't provide you anything. Someone care to explain it to me? One way I can think of is that their bodies are artificially supplied all the necessities by outsiders (in real world). Need confirmation. |

| Asuna's cute. |
 |
| Did anybody else noticed that code at the end of the episode? It said "w6q5qhakna". I wonder what that means. |
 |
| As someone who did never read the novel i enjoyed this episode pretty much and the pacing was just perfect. I have heard that there was an shitty harem-cliche-like bathing scene in the novel which they - and im rally happy about that- didnt put in the adaption, VERY GOOD decision, cant understand why the novel-readers miss it. |

One "ecchi"-like scene might be That was at least a funny one xD |

| Damn lol, the Novel sky rocketed all the way to Top Rated Light Novel hot damn <3. |
 |
| Garbage. 2 episodes in, people are writing 10/10 reviews and this has a weighted score of 8.6. Never change MAL. |
 |
| People are just so concerned w/ numbers. Let's just all wait for the score to balance out. Probably when the adaptation ends it's run. This series already has an established fanbase who are really devoted to the novels hence the hype. I'm a fan as well but I'm holding out on giving a final score since this IS an adaptation. But some fans aren't so reserved. Granted that two episodes aren't enough to warrant such a high score dismissing it as garbage just after two episodes is equally irrational. Don't just jump into the bandwagon. Geez. |
| I have to say I'm very impressed. |
| Really great episode, got to see them all work together and fight a boss-level enemy. I liked that he embraced being seen as a beta tester, which was unexpected. 5/5 |

| I wonder how they don't die of starvation in the real world?? Anyway, sweet episode, Im liking the fast development and action. |
