I see he learned FUS RO DAH already.

 

[yami4ct]

Hey look, theme music. The REAL best part of SAO.

 

[ReiGun]

I bet there's at least one guy who couldn't play the game because he had stuff to do.

Some people probably got home with their after shit went down and were like, "Whew. Thank you Tokyo traffic."

Edit: 2000 on the first day?! Lord have mercy.

 

[bigkrev]

Well, I'm glad I don't need to stay up past 2am anymore. That wasn't very good.

 

[kayos90]

Dude that Exp You got there.

Oooh. I like the ED.

Technically the OP.

 

[TheChits]

Dat ending theme

 

[Jafku]

Holy fuck 2,000 dead

 

[Beelzeboss]

so how do they stay alive in the real world?

It must suck to be constantly hungry for pizza

 

[BatDan]

FYI the author of the Sao novel never played an mmo before writing sword art online

That explains a lot.

 

[789shadow]

1 month time skip right off the bat?

 

[everyday math]

Ummmm •_•

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Damn 2000

 

[Tenumi]

Admittedly, the music isn't that bad.

But I've been finding a lot of Anime soundtracks that I like recently...

 

[Dr.Palutena]

FYI the author of the Sao novel never played an mmo before writing sword art online

It shows, so so much.

 

[Schadenfreude]

No one's beaten the first floor in one month. Buncha fucking noobs. Time for IGPX.

 

[Ultratech]

Oh wow, 2000 dead in the first month.

Shit.

 

[Shard]

Yes.

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

Yeah, I got that. Had a feeling they'd end there.

Welp, that was weird, 2000 people.... IGPX next.

 

[B-Dubs]

Well, I think that dude's friend just bit it.

Talk about lame as fuck.

 

[commanderpepper]

Too bad there's no cool kung fu guy.

 

[Azure J]

Well, that was something.

 

[Raxus]

Dude that Exp You got there.

Oooh. I like the ED.

It's the opening.

 

[ckohler]

Month?! How did they eat?

Anyway, I like this premise as ridiculous as it is.

 

[yami4ct]

God dang, I forgot about the use of text to completely skip over major world building. So damn lazy.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Dat ending theme

Opening theme

 

[Regulus Tera]

NO OVERTONES!

I think you mean undertones?

 

[slightconfuse]

1 month time skip right off the bat?

prepare for a lot of that. the pacing in this show is wack

 

[BassForever]

Also that's the opening theme, it's awesome someone on a laptop please link it for everyone

 

[Moaradin]

Wow they actually didn't fuck up the Opening.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

Wow that bromance line at the end was at lot less weird in the english version. hahaha

You mean it was worse in the sub?

 

[CielTynave]

Hope not too many of you actually liked Klein, he's in the ep more than the rest of the series entirely.

Also, I found it hilarious that people actually thought "oh man 2000 people they're not messing around!" when this first aired. Because yeah, showing a huge ass list of names and crossing a bunch off really makes things tense.

 

[everyday math]

Alright off to bed. Night!

 

[kayos90]

2000 dead the first month? HOLY SHIT! =D

EDIT: OP1 here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0hss7Gj7lQ

 

[Dominican Power]

So some asshole decides to play god. How many episodes is this anime?

 

[DominoKid]

Holy fuck 2,000 dead

Whats your body count? Mine's quadruple digits! /rozay

 

[ThatObviousUser]

.hack//SIGN had a better first episode.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

so, that was pretty mediocre.

 

[Regulus Tera]

FYI the author of the Sao novel never played an mmo before writing sword art online

Toonami should have gotten Accel World instead if solely because (pseudo) fighting games > Mumorpugers.

 

[B-Dubs]

Wait, so one month passed...

How did they eat, drink, or poop? This makes no sense, they should all be dead by now from a lack of water alone.

 

[Amikami]

Thought that was an interesting first episode. I look forward to what happens next.

 

[Jafku]

I'm not sure how to feel about this show, the premise is interesting albeit rehashed but fairly boring.

Swimming Adults Online 01
Hehe, didn't realize before, the first voice we hear is Suguha. Wahaha. She actually doesn't sound half bad.

Spoiler

for me that makes it worse later on

How did they make Klein sound like such a pansy. He had such an ultra manly voice in the sub.

Kirito's VA is totally overacting. But I guess his voice really is fitting his Mary Sue character design, wahaha. People will see him for what he is sooner this way, I guess.

NO LOGGING OUT FOOL

Teriyaki Pizza and Ginger Ale? I don't remember it being that specific. But maybe I just have terrible memory lol

"She wouldn't date a gamer."

Spoiler

The first signs Kirito knows nothing about his cousin/sister

So weird having commercial breaks. Although, actually that's not true, I watched this show on Hulu Plus first. Stupid commercials.

Now back to our regularly scheduled srsbsns. Kayaba Akihiko has such a nice voice in the dub. That actually might fit the situation better in this case. You can almost see his happy face inside that hood. INTERNAL BATTERY DUN DUN DUN.

The NerveGear will simultaneously destroy your brain brain brain brain

THERE SHE IS YES

I forgot how slowly this show moves.

IF YOU DIE IN THE GAME YOU DIE IN REAL LIFE. There is something about hearing that hammy line in native English.

WHAT THE HELL THEY CUT THE OP SHORT. It's literally the best part of the show.

1 month time skip right off the bat?

Get ready for a lot of time skips

 

[Jintor]

I remember being so angry about the sheer logistics about this the first time I saw this episode. Oh well, it's all new from here on in for me!

 

[ReiGun]

Were I actually trapped in this, I'd just stick to the beginning village. Fuck it. Maybe I'd go to the next town if it clears out, but that's as far as I'd go.

 

[yami4ct]

FYI the author of the Sao novel never played an mmo before writing sword art online

Given how the story goes, I don't think he's ever read a book either.

 

[OldAsUrSock]

Wait, so one month passed...

How did they eat, drink, or poop? This makes no sense, they should all be dead by now from a lack of water alone.

It will all be clear soon.

 

[lazybones18]

So who's the show's LEEROY JENKINS?

 

[Moaradin]

You mean it was worse in the sub?

Bro says Kirito has a cute face or something like that. It was just completely random :lol

 

[Zonic]

Well, I'm interested, mainly to see where exactly the series goes. Plus it adds another thing to watch on Toonami.

So some asshole decides to play god. How many episodes is this anime?

25.
