This is my first review for SAO alternative GGO anime...
The episodes for the first arc will really very well done... The gun fight scenes were awesome... The Studio did a very good job in animating the fight scenes, it was very detailed... The anime like its novel counterpart very well written... The pacing of the anime was pretty good too... 5 episodes for its first arc, with some parts of its anime been shuffle up... The ending for episode 1 was not present in the novel... It was present in the novel but not in the first vol. of its novel... That part was part of vol.2 and not vol.1... There were also part of various episodes extended gun fights to made the show more interesting and exciting to watch...
'Potihui' wasn't able to take part in this squad Jam due to 'her friend getting marry' on the same day... She was the person who forces 'LLENN' to join and team up with 'M'... She also talk taking part in BoB but lost at the beginning before its main event... and that she has met with 'Sinon' once and try to buy her gun from her...
'LLENN' real life counterpart was a fan of a popular singer called Kanzaki Elsa... She wanted to go to her concert on the day of SJ, but she can't get her hands on the tickets... So she has no choice but to take in SJ... She wrote a letter to her idol asking to perform at an even more hall so that more of her fans can go see her...
Here 'M' like in the novel counterpart was a gun expert... He knows his gun very well and the big shield that he was using was freaking big and awesome... 'M' knew that 'Pito' has a crave for Death Games not been told why was that... Will talk more about when the episode airs, and once I have finish finish vol.3... 'M' then tried to kill 'LLENN' because of the same reason... The reason was because of 'Pito'... She has high hope for them and if they lose she is gonna kill 'M' in real life... 'M' and 'Pito' knows each other in real life that was for sure...
That happened after they beat MMTM a team with 6 guys... It was mention that their leader also took part in BoB... His character got killed of at the beginning of the main event... Also all of them was very shock that there no bullet lines at all... Not going into details as it contains spoilers for people who has not watch...
Their last opponent was a group of girls with 6 members... Again not going into details...
Overall the first arc was very animated the soundtracks were great too...
My Rating: 8.5/10
