Actually, I don't believe this is a side story, technically speaking. This was part of the first light novel if I'm not mistaken. Maybe I am.

Due to SAO's serious nature, I cannot turn off my brain when viewing it. It's almost like Guilty Crown but not as bad. Both shows take themselves seriously which makes it difficult for me to not think how the show is handled. The two shows are also very fun. . . to laugh at.

Well now it is obvious why Megiddo was complaining about the show, he did not get to see the amazing scene, you know the one that was so good and breathtaking that none of us felt it was necessary to mention what it was and what episode it was in. We apologize to you Mediddo, your complaints were without seeing the super mega awesome bits that have been in the last several episodes.

I'll just leave this here because it's the best thing about episode 12, hands down.

I can not tell if that person is being sarcastic, or was on the same stuff as the double rainbow guy.

He's being satirical and sarcastic.

I'm sorry, but I find this rather offensive. Here I am just minding my own business, then I get to hear this?

You only think it is obnoxious because he doesn't have the same opinion as you do and you don't like that.

I mean, how else to explain why you are so offended?

This was the original honeymoon story

Maybe, at least, there will be a scene where Kirito talks about how much he loves fishing and how he and his dad used to fish together until his dad became an alcoholic and crashed their fishing boat, and then as a result he hated fishing for the rest of his life and instead became obsessed with video games and shut himself off from his family. I just made all that up, but it would be better character development than another scene where someone's in trouble and Kirito helps them.

All joking aside, I do generally like fishing stories, since there usually is a lot of quiet time for exposition. I hope this one makes good use of this opportunity.

Episode 13:

Wow.

I'll be interested to see how the traditional naysayers react to this one, because to me it played out like an answer to just about every complaint that people have been lodging about the series over the past couple of months. Asuna shines again without any involvement from Kirito, the Asuna/Kirito relationship felt like it finally had enough traction for the tender scenes between the two of them to be fully credible and involving, it addresses concerns about game world vs. real world life, both characters show some distinct development and advancement, spoiler[the level 75 boss is suitably intimidating, and seeing all of the top-level players teaming up against the Skull Reaper - especially the Kirito/Asuna combo and how well they played off of Heathcliff - was thrilling. Damn good animation on the Skull Reaper as well.]
