With the mass triage of the first ep over and done with,
episode 2 gets down to the nitty-gritty of the crisis in which these players
find themselves. As a group of warriors band together to press through the
first floor, Kirito looks to have a chance to make a friend and learn some
lessons about what it means to live the game and not just play it. But as bad
blood emerges between regular players and the beta testers, what trouble might
emerge?
I thought the first episode in this series was great, minus
my qualms with the mass triage narrative trope. But this episode moves beyond
that. Once the injustice is backgrounded, what is left is an interesting story
about fighting to survive and learning to work together in a unbelievable
difficult situation.
Definitely on the watch list.
Rating: A-
Assessment: Watch.
