There's a discussion about That Ass Online?
This is very much worth it then.
Also... the anime is so randomly put together plus butchered for another light novel transition into an anime adaptation it makes me loathe all the idiots who legitimately think that this anime is decent.
The current 'arc' (lol at one episode arcs) isn't even a part of the source which never needed fillers in the first bloody place.
Asuna in the novel/very start was increasingly suicidal when it came to fighting with Kirito's personality issues side being more prominent as well.
Unrelated note: Campione! still sticks out as the most butchered series this season..
