[Anime] Sword Art Online (Postponed to Summer 2012)

For people who do not know, Kikuoka Seijiro belongs "to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Technology, Second Separated Advanced Network Division, or, as it's called within the ministry, the Virtual Storage Management Sector of the Communication Network's Management Division; the «Virtual Division».
In other words, this man monitored the state of chaos in the new VR world." Of course this is just what Kirito has been told. Kikuoka is also the first person Kirito meets after he gets out of SAO.

Pretty meh episode, cliffhanger ending just setting up for the next one. It's the beginning of the end. Also, for those who've read the novel, I'm kinda disappointed they skipped the whole Tonki part.

Shoot...it already ended before it was about to get good. Aspiring artists might start drawing some fanarts of Asuna getting tentacle-raped, or even a doujin about it. And Suguha is going to get her heart broken twice, from the same person. It was kind of a disappointment at one moment where Asuna took her time to press the log out button. Looking forward to see how the next episode will turn out to be.

So the anime decided to skip the huge underworld chapter and went straight to the world tree chapter. Which is disappointing since it was sorta of a tear jerker for me.
Tonkii, the bad ass friendly monster will live on in the hearts of the light novel readers. So much for waiting for the giant monster fight scene in the alo arc.

So Asuna finally escapes her cage only to experience tentacle rape.
The center of ALO looks like a typical mmo starting point.
Now we're reaching the end!

My own personal love story makes me feel for Sugu. Though not entirely similar, but I can understand what it feels like to love a person, and yet know that it's not meant to be. It can devastate a person, and it'll be even more devastating that 'Kirito', her only source of comfort in reality is her older brother.

Now then, Kirito, go kick Oberton's gay pedo ass

Dafuq, where the hell's Jotunheimr? Where the hell's Tonkii!? And most importantly. where the hell's Excaliber!!? How are you going to go with kicking Sugou's ass!!?

I don't know if they're going to use Excaliber now or later. Most probably not though, since at the end it was Sugou who used that sword, and any random sword will suffice and Kirito kicked his ass with only his Great Sword.
And Suddenly generating Excaliber isn't that farfetched either since it was Sugou who tried first, we might imply that Kirito is just copying his command.

Frankly, just a brief description of it when it is summoned at the end would suffice, since Excaliber isn't all that important, he gets it and he barely even uses it. Though...I wanted Tonkii :<

They go to underworld before getting to that city, right? Or are my memories too messy now and I forgot how everything happens serially?

Or is anime skipping it for OVA stuff?

Either way, can't wait for the next, because of all the dramatics about to unfold. Hurr durr.

They skipped it and its kind of hard to make an ova that makes sense. In the anime, they never met tonkii which is the only way to get to Excalibur, and they don't even know its there because they did not see it on the way out. They have no reason whatsoever to go into the underworld. So they could do an ova, but it would make no sense.

... What? They see the shining light of the Excalibur. I think I read that right before they exited the underground dungeon with Tonkii.

They saw it in the LN, not in the anime. In the 'anime' timeline, Jotunheimr never happened.
