Beater
I can't figure out what this is... Okay, I know what it is but couldn't it be a bit more complicated looking? This is a MMO we're seeing from a computer depth. Or does this only bother me?
Yeah, that's totally it.
This episode starts out with a meeting of groups of friends and "Knight" (the blue-haired guy) who rallies them up to take on the first level boss. Sound's awesome right? Sure, right before someone stands up and starts saying how the Beta's didn't help anybody and just better enriched themselves with killing easy level creatures.
And yes they did. But wouldn't you in that situation?
There just so happens to be a Beta in the crowd-besides Kirito obviously-who goes to talk on the podium and reveal that all members had the same infromation the Beta's had. With a guide book, created by the Beta's themselves.
Damn that one guy was a jerk, and an idiot.
In this episode we meet Asuna-your heroine, (yay!) a solo player who just so happened to be at the meeting to take on the first boss. Since Kirito is also a solo player in a meeting with people that all know eachother, the two naturally party up.
And so the quest continues...
Here's you first Boss, nastly looking bugger. Like part dog, part giant. Just a guess. Anyway he's a pain in the ass at first. But of course they beat him.
About the fight scene, I liked it. Nice, simple, smooth. Have to admit the attacks we're nothing special but they're all lower level players so they probably don't have any special moves unlocked yet. Will be great to see them in the upcoming episodes though.
Ahh, the ending. So after the Boss and-unfortunetly-Knight dies. (who by the way is revealed to be a Beta tester right before he sparkles away, basically) That one idiot from before is putting the blame on Kirito. (who apparently obtained a rare item for killing the boss, Coat of Midnight... whatever that does I'm thinking sneaky *puts on ninja gear*) Here Kirito reveals he is a Beta Tester, but for the sake of ther Beta testers singles himself out as 'special.' After being called out on being a Beta he is also called a cheater, hence the name, Beater.
As he moves to go up to the new level Asuna comes after him. For a moment it seems she's playing a blonde stereo type, what with not knowing she could see his name because they are in the same party (he yelled her name when she ran forward to attack, naturally she is curious how he knows it. mystery solved.) But she can also fight really well so she doesn't fit into that stereo type for even less than a second.
However, Kirito disbands their party and continues going solo at the end of this episode.
