I thought this was a pretty good episode where interesting things happened. I laughed, cheered, and cried in the same episode. It's nice a show can make me experience such a wide and diverse range of emotions(also helps if you've read the LN). I love the fact the anime is taking an alternate approach then the LN as to how they're going to develop Kirito, which is so far being fairly consistent and well characterized. It'll be interesting if this continues.

What's the LN?

Natsuyuki 3

Things moving quite fast, for a love story. Also, this anime is totally exploiting my weakness towards short-haired girls!

SOA3 was pretty good, though you gotta admit the way things ended up was pretty predictable. I thought even though we all saw it coming, it was still a cool moment.

I believe its 48, i was under the impression everyone can see other player's level and just some didn't know how, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

**Skai** · 2012-07-22 07:16

There's probably a /anon function going on. Maybe. Just a guess.

SAO went from good to horrible with the latest filler episode.

**popsiclestix** · 2012-07-22 08:49

Kirito was powerleveling the Black Cats by basically tanking the mobs. I believe he was barely engaging them. In the Light Novel, experience points is rewarded by how much damage is done to a monster. So he was giving them a false sense of strength for the guild by tanking stronger mobs than they would normally do. If he had shown he was the same level, then the other people would know that, even as a group, they were not as powerful unless Kirito was there.

Regarding what you can see on other players, from what I recall in the LN, you can only see outer gear, the Green target is a guild member,

, otherwise, you can't see anything other than party member's HP bars and names.

You aren't supposed to take him seriously.

Ever.

I started reading the light novel for SAO, but I just couldn't really get into it since the first person exposition style turn it into a bit too much of a masturbatory self-insertion fic. Though I am enjoying the anime so far.

**Vaspinne** · 2012-07-23 02:31

Is anyone else watching Hyouka? I'm surprised that I actually really enjoy watching it every week

**Gokulo** · 2012-07-23 02:39

I am. At first I was annoyed when the first mystery was solved and it turned out it will be just random story every couple of episodes, but I kept watching and I'm enjoying the style and characters too much to stop

**Elcura** · 2012-07-23 03:01

I think it's pretty good, everyone is interesting enough (though honestly, they're all a bit too smart to be really interesting) and the mysteries are nice. It's just lacking a bit on the character interaction part. I dunno, conversations between these characters just seem flat and procedural, like we need to have this conversation so the plot/mystery can move on lol

Chitanda's 'I'm curious!' expression is really cute though, I'll probably keep watching just for that.

**Xanthe** · 2012-07-23 07:34

I'm watching Hyouka as well. I especially loved this week's episode because I'm a cooking nut. Also Oreki is secretly the best advertiser for the Classics Club through his impromptu trading post he has going.

The story follows Izayoi Sakamaki, a boy bored with the entire world. One day, an envelope arrives for him. The moment Izayoi opens the envelope, he is transported to an alternate world. There, he discovers that two other "problem children" were transported by envelopes as well — a taciturn girl named Yō Kasukabe with a cat, and a beautiful yet haughty girl named Asuka Kudō. A girl named Kuro Usagi (Black Rabbit) summoned the three to the community "No Name" to overthrow the devil.
