    After this week's episode, it's time for a thread.

    Without a doubt, this series is far better written than the original. I loved the abstract artwork of Pitohui. And now we know who the cute blonde in the combat helmet is. Specifically for this episode,

    Finally, Pitohui is batshit crazy, and we still have no idea who she is in real life. "M" gave us some hints, but nothing definitive.

      I've read the manga which has a real world scene with M and Pito(in bed). He's just as big in real life but she is possibly smaller than Llenn. As for who she is my money is on her being that singer Karen/Llenn likes.

        @steelblaidd They have him meeting Karen in the real world in this episode. We know Karen is very tall for a Japanese woman. Height-wise, he's about the same height as Karen, but nowhere near as bulky as his GGO avatar. In stark contrast, the squad of Amazons turns out to be

        spoiler

        I've been thinking that about Pito for several weeks now. Have to wait to see if it plays out.

          I thought there were reasonably strong hints that she is ... (anime-only speculation)

          spoiler

          At this point, I would be quite surprised if it wasn't the case.

            @hatguy12 Without rewatching "Fan Letter", I can't remember how much real-world information Karen put into that letter. If your spoiler is correct, that would pretty well nail down Pito's real-world identity. I'm pretty sure that's who it is though.

            Edit to add:
            Even though Karen asked him at least twice, "M" never did answer her question about how he knew her name and address. Or did I miss that?

                      @bloodygaikotsu I believe it's Manga based.

                        @myskaros I'm curious as to why. I found the episode intriguing.

                          @paul-nebeling LN original actually. Written by the same author as Kino's Journey. Great LN I'm excited to own as I read the first three fan-translated volumes when they came out.

                            @aruseus493 If it's LN based, odds are it's a Kadokawa property.

                                It's already licensed and coming out in June.

                                @Paul-Nebeling It was just a spectacular example of how not to sell a plot point, where they literally sat and talked for half an episode, telling us the entire plot, which was a contrived mess in the first place. Like, Pitohui really got slapped with the convoluted backstory stick, and I just don't like being told to care about something.

                                  One thing I really like about this show is how it understands games, A player may exploit a glitch or mechanic (dead bodies are immortal and bullet lines only visible when your finger is over the trigger) or win because of a glitch (LLENN with immortal Scanner) but the game gets Patched (The Scanner is no longer an immortal object).

                                  And the Bullet Lines thing is definitely something that probably would not get patched since it can separate the casuals from the pros.

                                    @drone205 In that Light Novel podcast ep2 they were talking about how the SAO author was only a casual gamer so was pretty bad at game worlds/mechanics - this alt series seems to be worlds ahead on that one (is this all the different author's creation, or were they given the job of writing someone else's idea?)

                                      @smashman42 from what I know, Sigsawa has full control over the story with Kawahara only supervising it so it keeps consistent with the main series. He's enough of a gun nutjob to make GGO shine, I doubt he'd need outside help.

                                        Was anyone surprised by the reveal of Pito's real world identity?

                                          Overall, it was good fun though and convinced me to buy the light novels.
