As a fan of .hack, I really,
really shouldn't be watching this series. Only bad things will happen. For future reference, if you actually like SAO, you might want to ignore all of my almost inevitable rantings that I post in this thread.
Episode 1:
"It's not a bug, it's a feature."
Best line of the season.
"Hey, I've achieved my goal, but you guys can stay trapped in the game anyway."
Worst villain motivation of the season.
I really hope this series can use it's MMO setting to its fullest. It'll be sad if this could just be as easily pulled off using the "transported to another world" scenario.

Man, Kawahara Reki really is an awesome author. Getting 2 of your only LN adapted into animes is really a magnificent feat.
Does it really mean anything though? Maoyuu Maou Yuusha has like 5 manga adaptations and an anime coming up.
