Asuna should just team up with Conan, together they would probably be able to get culprits to break down crying as soon as they open their mouths.

Anyway, great episode, hope that next arc gets to the main story already.
From the looks of it the next episode is going to be Liz's intro.  After that it should be clear for the rest of book one up to Yui's intro

That guy had the worst motive ever... I couldn't bring myself to take the rest of the episode seriously after that point...

Read the afterword for this sidestory. This was the author's take on the mystery genre, he is far from experienced on it.

@Loudlol: I guess you are right, check seventh's episode's preview:

Lol, I knew I was right.  So far the names of the episodes have been the same as the chapters in the books.  Still, it's fun to see the preview and find out I'm right~

Just saw episode 7....  Have to say, I'm disappointed.  Even though it's supposed to be a side story, it left so much out. 

Problems:
  • 1.  95% of the self dialog wasn't there.  So you didn't get a good idea of what was going on let alone a emotional connection with the character.
  • 2.  PACING!  I seriously stopped the video to look at the time.  Because, while watching it I was like "We're at the dragon?!  It's only been like 5 mins!?"
  • 3.  Kazuto didn't look nearly as BA as he should have.  The whole running up the wall scene looked more like "Oh, I'll just casually walk up this, OH slip"
Hopefully, if my hunch is correct... It should focus more on the plot now since that was the last side story (At least that I know of).  But, it's left to be seen

Does everyone love Kirito in this show or something? o_O; It's like his harem grows with each episode. *can't wait for actual plot*

I kind of felt a bit bad for the girl... Sure she jumped on the first male to show her any real attention, but still.

Plus, they left out a pivotal scene where Asuna admits being in love with Kirito.

@Soreiyu: Quite on the contrary actually, she is a cute girl on a online game, she gets A LOT of attention. I bet she was impressed Kirito was one of the few guys that was not totally crazy for her.

well it's that, but also he kinda sorta saved her life, so that probably helped her becoming enamored as well :P

@ranger: ^what loud said. It's much more believeable on the LN.

Wasn't she complaining earlier in the episode about being lonely? I think getting attention from running a shop and getting actual attention from being an individual are completely different.  

I probably should rewatch the episode. I think my memory might be bad.

@Leo:  Ranger won't read the LN's from what I remember.  Something about Vol: 1 Chap: 16.5. lol  But, yeah.   

Hopefully since we're done with the side stories (Hunch atm not 100% sure)  the quality of the story telling will go up.  If not, well.... People can always read the LN's.

Side note:  I'm actually kinda mad that the sides stories were played in chrono order.    I was like that when I read book two that they weren't, but seeing them in it now just takes away so much.
