User blog:LaviBookman/Thoughts on Sword Art Online - Ep.8 (AT LAST!)

Well, this came much earlier than I expected, though the list of side stories was certainly running dry. The main story of SAO began with this episode! So less one-episode stories and more continuity will be present. In regards to the episode itself, it played out without any diversion from the novel but the episode's end felt rather weak. Not much could be done about it though, since there is only so much that could be squeezed in one episode without speeding up or slowing down the plot.
