I really liked the scenery in this ep, very pretty.
Was totally expecting Kirito and Asuna to get attacked on the forest, seeing as they didn't have any weapons with them. It's nice that they actually got some time to relax, at least for the most part.
If memory serves, there were some older looking characters in the forest too. Wonder if they were players or NPCs?
I'll never understand why characters who have faced all sorts of monsters are inexplicably afraid of ghosts, thats actually the second time this week I've seen that kind of thing happen. Granted, this is Asuna we're talking about, she must have been afraid she would lose
Does the bit where Asuna saved those kids continue into the next ep? Because she saved them and then the ep decided to ignore them in favor of Yui... it kinda makes the rescue irrelevant how they immediately ignored it like that. Hope we find out what was going on there...
