| Loved this episode! Much better than I expected. Main female character's so cute. |
| I wasn't expecting much but it surprised me and turned out to be a pretty good frist episode. |
| Better than I expected. 4/5 This might not be just another SAO clone after all. |
| It was a good episode, I was expecting something like a terrible version of SAO but this anime surprised me. It was funny and the OP is amazing |
| O importante não é o que fazemos de nós, mas o que nós fazemos daquilo que fazem de nós |
| this looks interesting.. Im a very fan of MMORPG game before sot it really bring back those memories but im currently in MOBA now.. |

judojon said: Akatsuki is cute, and the other two leads aren't terrible. However, the show isn't setting a high bar for itself, I'm not too impressed by this introductory episode. It lacks any stakes or tension, the first episode of SAO at least had that much (disregarding the storm of shit that followed, of course). I heard that players would simply respawn when they are killed rather than die or return to reality, so the stakes are definitely lower.

 |
| I think they're going to make it more like an actual game and less like SAO ended up being. |
| Hopefully will develop some more depth on (1) Game goal (2) Game manufacturer (3) Some real-life issues For example it was clearly stated in SAO you can die from either dying ingame or literally having your body waste away in real life. |
| It handles the "game" things decently (way better than SAO) and the MC isn't a fucking retard so that's good, I didn't really like the rest of the characters though. |
| Don't people ever get sick of talking about SAO!? Jeez, let it go already. |
 |
| Haven't seen SAO or .Hack but I certainly enjoyed this. Nice attention to detail and engaging characters. Will definitely be watching. |
 |
| Looks pretty fun so far! Let's see if Akatsuki can knock off a character off my favorites since I'm liking her so far. Animes with a video game theme are always welcome. |

| Better than I expected tbh. Enjoyable first episode and looking forward to more. |
 |
| I wasn't very impressed with the first episode but I'll continue watching in hopes that it will get better. I thought it was pretty cool when the monsters turn into items and money when they die though. |
 |
| It was like a copy of SAO but a bit different~ Sadly the main character doesn't look cool. |

 |
| Nice animation , crazy OP :D |
 |
| I'm liking this anime thus far. I love the characters too. |
| Ok, things it did right with the setting -Open world, none of that gated tower bullshit -Mechanics are being built, and hopefully they are set by the next couple of episodes -Hints for dynamic boss battles -Main character is a mother fucking mage -World Building is good so far |
| seems ok so far i hope it will be good untill the end~ |
 |
| I have only 2 complaints about the first episode: - pretty confusing about what happened up until some point - they have no goal as of yet (I am not sure if I want this to slide into "Slice of MMORPG life" Other than that, I pretty much liked it :) |
 |
| It was rly boring first episode and i think it's very annoying that they didn't explain anything |
| It feels more MMORPG than SAO which is a plus Nice start |
| I enjoyed it, some nice humor and the characters already feel natural with each other. I'm glad they didn't have their UI up all the time though, since looking at it was information overload! |

Tman00 said: Alright there seems to be some misunderstanding, let me point some things out 1) They're not trapped in a game The real world turned into a game - so its not even close to SAO, but more like FFTA (but without Marche) 2) Its not grimderp or edgy. You die in the game, you resurrect at a town. TPKs are considered comedic here. 3) The MC is not a gary stu - he even sticks to support role and CCs and not "hurr I bash it with my unqiue dual-wielding cuz i'm chosen one" 4) The development focus is on MC's party members with MC as the observer or the catalyst, unlike SAO where every character is an NPC revolving around the MC 5) its not harem - OTPs everywhere. Even Tank bro gets a waifu. 6) The author focuses the plot about MMO politics, management and economies. Think MMY, Horizon and S&W This is loads better than generic "escaping back the the real world". 7) Foreword: The anime is not that AOTY. Much of it is wordswordswords interspersed with combat. Yes well said. Let me iterate again that THIS IS NOT A VIRTUAL REALITY like the one in SAO The best analogy would be Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. The resemblance is stunning... |

| oh god that assassin is so cute. im gonna keep watching this |
| Very solid! It's rare that an anime based on an RPG delivers such a solid first episode. I liked it, the music is great and there's a freaking loli assassin! |

Daipyon said: It was like a copy of SAO but a bit different~ Sadly the main character doesn't look cool. Copy of SAO? Who cares! It could be better than SAO in twenty different ways, but it cannot be any worse. The main three (out of four, as nothing has been shown of the nekohead) characters are already far more interesting than every single character of SAO. Looks promising and I am really looking forward to the upcoming episodes. +_+ |

| I think SAO's first episode (and possibly its second) were better than this one, but the trainwreck from thereon of SAO makes that a moot point. I really enjoyed this first episode and it looks to be a great series. I like that the main character seems pretty level-headed and that he's known as a strategist, as opposed to being one of the people in the front lines. And the bromance appears to be awesome. As far as objectives are concerned for this story, it seems like it will introduce us to it next episode based on the preview, or at least the first arc of the series. I'm honestly so happy that it's a 2 cour show. |

| I say this is really like sword art but this might be better than SAO at first I thought i was going to hate this but I got to say I like this :D |
| DATABASEEEEEEEE DATABASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! LOL. Sao v2??? I like how the characters are not dumb as hell unlike the other SAO ripoff which I forgot the title... Nice ED song. |
| .... This is so freaking good so far. Hopefully it won't end up like a train-wreck like SAO... Both humor and character are already more interesting than SAO. The NPC live merrily, while the supposedly happier adventurer looking like the world has ended!! LMAO! "How long are they going to sit there?" "Those food all taste the same" "It taste like soggy crackers without salt" (Sound terrible) Ironically humorous, my favorite type. AHAHAHA! I CANT WAIT TO SEE MALE WHO PICK THE FEMALE GENDER IN THE GAME! THIS IS GANNA BE AMAZING! EDIT: My expectation isn't high coming into this, but this episode alone have shattered my expectations to smithereens. |

| Psh, what a horrible Greed Island rip-off. Nah but seriously... Interesting first episode, so many questions about the game world and what's going on. The characters are easily likable so far, especially with a strategist MC and the cute assassin. I like how there's no linear or clear objective yet. Will definitely stay on top of this every Saturday. And I love the ED, so catchy and beautiful. |
 |
| Loving this first episode. Seems like it'll be a great series. |

| Wait, is Shiro the main character? If so, than I am kind of upset from what I saw so far. I would have preferred main charter to be more out there and fight in front line rather than a strategist. I hope what I saw today will change in the future episodes...so for now I can't really say if I liked it or not. |

Staying at the back line, providing buffs/debuffs. Precisely because of his role, he can never accomplish things alone(well, hard things). Which makes the show very group orientated. It's a nice change from watching "My team fail, but I'm the hero, so I'll go "raaaahhhh!!!!!" and win this single handedly" type of swordman. See things from the back line is a whole different experience compared to having the monster in your face all the time(tunnel visioning on the priority target while crying "heal!" "buff!" "debuff!") |
