THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah recap. It basically highlights the battlefield environment of their world and themes. It's like a video game except all everything is animated with LLEEN and the others. I noticed the recap didn't waste much time pairing up her and M in his already so that's something. There's also some bonus post ending/bloopers. |

OP w. sound effect ver.? Hikasa-san's character wanting the huge guy to tell her what happened to the battle with main girl. Hikasa-san's character's reactions are so funny! She's excited about main girl's action. First part consists of first ep. Hikasa-san's character is not interested in how he does, though. Oh, so he is also fan of Elza Kanzaki, not only main girl. Her song with the battle against female team. After the fight, Hikasa-san's character wanting more of the battle to be held and she can attend. Edited sound ver. of the battle by the sponsor after the ED?! lol~ inclu. the guy betraying, and sound by the girl's seiyuu. Interesting title for next ep. "SAO loser" |

Recap, uh? WelI, I liked the OP and the last 3 minutes of the episode. |

last 3 minutes were fun, especially that scene with boat guys. Wouldn't mind if they messed around like that with standard eps. |

I liked the SFX in the Opening and the end, but I think this episode is kind of a waste. Not much happened yet, so why a recap? |

if someone is wondering if there is something different in this recap. there are 3-4 after credits scenes with different voice overs. so just skip to after credits, it's not worth watching the whole thing of listening to pitou and m talking about what's happening |

I slowly like Pito more, and if “spoilers” are right... She’s a interesting fellow... That even M falls into her tease-threats. Rewatching it and remembering my time playing a MMO where I actually follow guides before (or taken from Player advices), it takes either a range or a miracle for LLENN to KO those afar. But shooting from close range (like that guy on the shore), the savage shot tat takes a few seconds for him to KO reveals a neat little detail (to me) that LLENN did indeed put her distribution points to AGI (agility) rather than the popular ATK (attack). Having fast speed is probably a unpopular build in GGO than other popular stat elements, but it work in LLLENN’s favor because of her avatar’s height. Watching it made me miss playing my favorite game (which was long ago shut down). LLENN felt more close to me despite I may have different traits. The re-dub from post credits is silly, but it was a nice bonus since the first five episodes were prettt serious due to Squad Jam. |

I guess it kinda helps confirm things on the main game... Pitohui really is crazy. The last three minutes are great though lol. |

Huh, looks like we won't be getting an episode this week. Strange to get a recap episode at this point as well, they haven't really accomplished anything aside from giving a little backstory to Karen, establishing how SJ works, giving an insight into M and not so subtly hinting Pitohui is Elsa. Hope this isn't an indicator of production side issues :/ |

Well at least we got some commentary from Pito. And they got most of the good scenes from Squad Jam... |

Recap episode and edited OP song with added sound effects. Unless those were there before. The bloopers were hilarious lol |

I thought something was up. Welp, that's one less anime to worry about this week. ^_^ |

This is like Beatless all over again. But I can at least be more lenient on this because these first 5 episodes were pretty good. That being said, I still don't agree that a recap was necessary. It was only 5 episodes and it was very easy to follow what has happened. But I guess I needed this recap to happen because I still got a lot of other stuff to catch up on. ^_^ |

Was it necessary the recap after 5 episodes? In my opinion, No! Well, even fall short the material to do a proper recap and they used this last 3 minutes of epilogue, after the ED, to try something comical using the same images of the anime with changes in dubbing!!! |

I have a bad feelings for this recap episode. |

Will this episode count as one of the 12 that are supposed to air? I hope it's just an extra recap episode that doesn't count. If it doesn't count as one of the 12, then I'm ok with this recap. |

Recap after 5 episodes ?? do we have alzheimer or what ?? skipped episode. Recap is good for the whole serie not 5 episodes... |

A pure masterpiece, never enjoyed such a good and original episode, needed this recap because i almost forgot the last 5 eps. (rated 1/5 of course) |

hiraishinx said: I think this recap was just a short studio break so that they can have more time to work on the next episodes. More time = (usually) Better quality in the animation.

A recap espisode at this point makes no sense at all, I totally skipped it. |

Annoying. Pito's comments are cringy, unfunny and annoying. Also a recap episode in the middle of a season. This lowered my future score for the show by 1. |

So basically just watch the last 5 minutes? |

The sound effects in the OP were unsettling and weird, what was the purpose of that? Meh recap episodes suck but at least the commentary was vaguely enjoyable. The post credits spoofs made me laugh my ass off though. Wish we could've had a real episode though |

Just 5 episodes aired and already a recap . I was looking forward to new episode this week idk why , its really disappointing |

Did... did they really... do a recap episode... Also those resets. I hope they had a lot of fun with that post credits stuff -w- |

The recap, although I sped through it, was kinda funny; what, with the commentary an' all... They had spoof covers of the events with random sound effects etc. It really melded together. Now that squad jams over, I wonder where they’ll take us next. |

They spent the first 4 episodes explaining what a battle royale is and having flashbacks why on God's green earth do they need to have a recap after episode 5 like fr does everyone in Japan have Alzheimer's or ??? |

I was annoyed at first but I’m glad I watched it, all those bloopers at the end were actually really funny, glad to see the team is having fun with it. |
LOL, your opinion is wrong! |

If anyone wants to know regarding on the show, usually yeah it's a sign that the series is within production struggles, and indeed it is the case considering HiMyNameIsChair (a guy from twitter) has talked about it. I think 2-3 episodes out of 5 so far were outsourced. This is probably around episodes 2, 3 and 4 or episodes 3-4. Not too sure which are the outsourced episodes, but there are outsourced episodes out there. Just wanted to get this out there. And this is more of a different way of handling the production schedule which seems rather iffy. And I've noticed that straight from the get-go. |

It better, because I know that recaps are production issues episodes, but come on the studio that's making it's 3rd season of SAO should be on track idk |

Wait, is it just me or did they add additional sound effects in the opening song. The bloopers made saved the episode, especially those unique sound effects when the bullets were getting fired. Also, the title of the next episode "SAO Loser" sort of gets me excited for the following episode |
