Also, once again kinda felt rushed, but, what else am I going to watch this summer

MMO itch...arrgh....guild wars 2!!@@!@!
you should have expected time skips the minute the first episode said there were 100 floors :P

also, this game must have a really bad guild interface if they couldn't see that he was level 40+ the second he joined their guild.

That or it just keeps everything about a person private outside of their name.

As for the time skips, who really cares about 90% of what happens at low levels?  In an MMO, you might get a couple of memorable moments at low levels, but it's the higher levels that are the coolest.  You get the spells, skills, etc to face off against awesome enemies.  Clearly, minus the magic, the same holds true here.

Too rushed again. Stupid episode, characters with obvious death flags appeared and died and I couldn't care less. But I can't really blame them on this one too much, since even the novel was a bit rushed. They sped it up even more though.

Yeah this one was really rushed. It takes away a bit from forming any sort of lasting emotional impact. You knew that these characters were going to die from the moment that they started speaking to Kirito. o_O; I just didn't expect their deaths to be from their own stupidity. This is the second time that the main character yelled out a warning and was ignored. lol

Great episode, much better paced. Kirito was epic.

I'm not sure why they chose the loli episode to do all their fanservice nonsense in. o_O;

I have a feeling that if the episode wasn't made specifically for fanservice of the loli variety, they wouldn't have bothered making her that young at all  :-X

also maybe I just forgot if they mentioned it, but man how high do the levels in this game go? Just last episode, Kirito was level 48 as the supreme badass, now in this episode the weak person he was protecting was in their 40s. Much more of this and the characters in this show will have more levels than some video game characters have HP.

lol? is 48 such a high level? I've played MMORPGS that had a max level of 99.

There are time-skips between episodes, which is why their levels are different each episode.

...yes, I was just commenting on the rate at which they're doing it.

because directors have been rushing the living shit out of this series - how long do they plan this show to be?  We've seen nothing but side stories so far...

How many incompetent gamer gurlz are we going to see get owned before we advance the plot?
