what is it with these anime threads being filled with "look at the light novel/manga/books" comments. the thread is about the anime not the damn books. go to the manga section if you feel so inclined to mention every detail in the books. some of us don't give a flying **** about what was or wasn't in the books! gets really old entering the ANIME section and having 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 posts about the mangas in each thread because some members are simply too dense to tell the difference between one section and the other. you want to talk anime do so. but you want to talk about the script you read on the writers ass go to the appropriate section.

you don't make the rules around here. Go ask the mods to delete those posts or make a new rules.

We could do some pretty tasteless butter jokes also. I was going to use one, but it was a bit too low brow; butter is not the most innocent sound word.

Please Dusk, please don't. Butter is my favorite condiment. I don't want to have to stop eating it.

No, but he does have a point. This is far from the first series-based thread so far this year where I've seen steady complaints about source material discussions, and frankly, I have to agree that it's getting out of hand.

Just to be clear here: references to things that happen in source material must be spoiler-tagged and marked as source material spoilers. While some people don't typically mind all of these comparisons, others definitely do. Discussions purely about the source material shouldn't be happening in this or other anime series threads in any case; only ones about how it relates to the anime are acceptable.

@DuskyPredator Pffft. We're totally on topic. Except right when a new episode comes out, there isn't much that can be discussed about this anime except little details like a cute girl gobbling up that guy's cream.

I kind of wish the dates would be more of an "X months later" thing. I mean, I know it's cheesy, but they can't honestly expect me to remember every date to properly place the next in context, can they?

spoiler[Did Klein and co. massacre dozens of dudes? And if so... what were the dead dudes thinking when picking such a one-sided fight?]

Episode 3

Boy, i can't be the only one feeling that episodes 2 & 3 have felt rather disjointed and rushed compared to the opener. It just kinda skips things you'd usually see, like spoiler[the battle with Nicholas the Renegade], usually a series would actually show something like that but SAO completely skipped the whole thing. And what level is he up to now? like spoiler[50 or something?]. I know as a series it can't show the whole adventure from 1-100 since that would just make a ridiculously long series but i expected the lower levels to be slightly more fleshed out than this.

Still fun to watch though, shame that spoiler[Kirito's first guild lasted less than an episode, rather quick kill off right there], and the spoiler[revival item] was kinda predictable if you remember how the NerveGear works in episode 1, spoiler[frying your brain, so a revival item wouldn't work unless it just brought back some sort of NPC avatar for a short while], the only way such an item would work is in the way it ended up working, although spoiler[seemed wasteful to just give it away, as a keen gamer i think thats far too valuable to give away, at least sell it or something]

thinking i might just read it instead now, its really bugging me the way the episodes are structured, even if the books are similar and this is how it is at least i don't have to wait for it each week
