Sword Art Online’s 14th episode PV seems reminiscent to running in circles whilst panicking – the series appears intent on bringing a close to main encompassing story, only problem, they haven’t developed it at all.
Giving a fantastic idea of how many episodes were wasted, this preview clip of the 14th affair is merely a flashback of past events – nothing is wrong with that alone, rather, the flashbacks are nearly all of his outing with Sachi and friends. This series has piled a total of 13 completed episodes up till this point – yet little more than zero relate to the plot introduced within the first episode, and now there’s no escape.
This series has essentially fallen in quicksand from the start, and now it’s taking its final breaths. It’s going to attempt to deliver a conclusion to a plot which it pushed aside in favor of becoming an online dating site ordeal.
With all the irrelevance boasted in the preceding stretch of episodes, spanning back to the opening few, it’s ridiculous that the series would just now sporadically intercede with an attempt at providing an ending. Sword Art Online seemingly takes the audience for a fool – something which it’s unfortunately not entirely incorrect in doing, yet to what expense?
Before anyone or anything else, this series ruined itself – and the PV truly makes it feel that even A-1 Pictures is aware of the traffic pileup of an animation they’ve output.

So they’re making an episode with flashbacks of the most stupid moments in the anime. Well, not like there were any better.
A way to go, A-1.

Great a total waste of time even on the final…

Actually, they used flasbacks to hide certain plot “twist” from that pv.

Twist from generic harem into a plot that was never developed, great idea,

Everyone in SAO: Help us were all gonna die
Kirito and Asuna: Lets get married

you know what that means?, they’re the only ones who can’t have a boyfriend/girlfriend in the real world so they’re miserable enough to just stick with a game,

last time on crap…it’s still crap. So generic and yet they still screw up the damn thing.

If you don’t like it, how come you didn’t “drop” the series like most people would do.
But anyways, I think this show should definitely get an English dub (it would help make the series more interesting). If you disagree with me or you’re a dub hater, please let me know.

My favorite type of people (to make fun of) are those who make assumptions.

But between Accel World (Yuniko Kouzuki) and Silica (Sword Art Online), which token loli you personally like better.
At least Silica is a redeeming quality for Sword Art Online, who sadly didn’t get much screentime.

So now you do irrelevance too?
I’d say you’re cruising for a bruising.

So it’s time… The Day they Die on SAO Game…
Oct 4, 2012 @ 20:07 CDT
Oh god the abrupt ending…get ready for the worst part of SAO (not like that’s saying much).

“dont say random stuff when havent seen the episode yet,”
“they made the preview like that because a shocking thing will be revealed..”
Contradiction.
