「ドキドキ、たりてる？」 (Dokidoki, Tari Teru?)
"Do You Have Enough Excitement?"

Maeno really is the worst character in the cast. Fortunately plenty of kawaii Chiyo-chan saves the episode.

First Impressions Sword Art Online

Do you remember the goose bumps you got when Kirito first busted out his dual-wielding skill? While it wasn't exactly the same, this episode did a great job at bringing back some of those feelings as I watched Kirito be a total badass.

「満ちる時、動き出す少女達」 (Michiru Toki, Ugokidasu Shoujo-tachi)
"Fruition, Girls Set into Motion"

Ayumu's mom is comical, but so are the villains. Or at least their ideas are.

「約束」 (Yakusoku)
"Promise"

I don't know if Oonishi Saori simply wasn't available for recording this episode, but the fact that Jamie didn't have a single line in it echoes my sentiment two episodes ago about how her character's role in the overall story feels like it's diminishing.
