I actually liked this one! It wasn’t, you know, mindblowing or anything, but it moved well, had some great fight animation, and the jokes actually landed for me. This one gets to join Sinon’s introduction and the last episode of GGO in the “maybe you’re not so bad after all, SAO” pile.
This is interesting, because for me it was literally the worst episode yet (rated by enjoyment factor). I actually liked previous episode, because i finally got to see the long forgotten cast (i mean the harem). Unfortunately, one episode was more than enough to get enough of Sugu’s breasts to need a break. This time i had to skip a lot.
Must admit that I did not like it too much. This arc cannot end too soon for me. It seems to be kind of a side show in some way, bereft of any kind of gravity.
i have to agree about tone shift. Im still glad we are back from GGO though. It always felt like a spin off to me, rather than a continuation.
Eh, GGO’s the only time I’ve felt SAO had any gravity, and that was barely true even then. The most I hope for from SAO is shiny action scenes.

TIL Bobduh’s a tsundere.
“Today” – Where have you been?
