Sigh, I really enjoy this anime at times, but thereīs just so much stupidity mixed into, itīs aggravating. Positives first: I love how theyīre putting a lot of effort in showing and explaining the ingame-HUD and its functions. Feels like the producers are very aware of the Oculus Rift-hype, and thatīs a good thing. Also, Kirito not really being a girl, yay.

On the downside, why does he have this female-ish body to begin with?! And why would anyone pay for such an account? Anybody could just create a hot girlīs body, eh?
The light sabers being so expensive makes no sense when itīs explained how useless it really is. From the looks, Kirito is now the ONLY person in GGO who uses it.
So that dodging mini-game starts a 0000. What idiot is going to pay a whopping 1000 credits for ... nothing?
Shinon helping Kirito only because heīs, apparently, a girl is super sexist. And spending half a day for that is just unrealistic, especially on an important day with that BoB-event.
If Kiritoīs long-range weapon is supposed to distract the enemy, why not go for a beam gun? Half damage, sure, but super accurate. And it feels silly to have a whole class of weapons thatīs damage can be halved by wearing some inexpensive accessoire that everybody wears. Why not just make it half damage per default, then?

Anyway, this should have been episode 2. Letīs hope the pacing gets better. And letīs hope Shinon finds out about Kirito being a guy. Sheīll probably gain a rape trauma from that, too, lol.

Wich makes sense, since 90% of the players we saw looked feminine ... oh wait.
