Asuna not caring about Kirito's harem is because SAO needed a harem to compensate for the author's lack of writing skills, alternatively his cock is so strong that it can service...7? iirc, for like a millennium and a half.
I am not even joking.

Kirito introducing Asuna only as his friend lol. Wait, what's wrong with this? gf/bf can't be friends? I don't really understand this but i'm assuming it's a western thing. Besides, the whole introduction was scripted from the beginning. It was to ease Sinon in. I think it would be pretty weird if he was like "this is my girlfriend". Think of it from Asuna's POV. Here's this girl that's basically walking PTSD ass crack that has been ass cracking it up with your BF for a few days along with being confined to a small cave with him and her ass crack. Then your BF introduces you as merely a friend to this girl? Man that's waiting for all hell to break loose. That's textbook example of how to get into a huge fight with your girlfriend. Asuna already knew of Sinon's situation because Kirito already told her. There's not gonna be any fight. Besides, Asuna doesn't even care about all the other girls that really like kirito. She has an indomitable faith in him. I don't count virtual marriages as real marriages(and i don't think Asuna or kirito does either) but okay.
How much time did we waste ever since the end of Aincrad arc for SAO to establish the point that the virtual is more real than real world? It isn't even like you haven't seen alicization and how that got turned up even higher.

Asuna not caring about Kirito's harem I think as more to do with her complete lack of character or personality. She's more like a faithful dog than a girl in my eyes.
You are right, one of the core themes of SAO is that there isnt a difference between the real world and the virtual world. So it follows that since they are a couple/married in the virtual world (and they are), then they are a couple in the real world. They are canonically a couple. However, SAO is also written really, really badly. Thats why they can just brush how Asuna is introduced under the rug.

There is that, and there is also the plot for ALO, which involved a villain's plan to turn Asuna into an dutchwife.

Even the coolest of girls would get rather mad at this stage with all the small shit Kirito is doing around her. Going off to a lethal mmo without telling your partner, not going to her when he has these PTSD flashbacks and realizes how serious the situation is, putting himself in danger for another random girl, introducing you as merely a friend to said girl. Hell even the most docile loving, trusting wife would get at least a little pissed off at basically being taken completely for granted. Since she's returned to the world we haven't seen any indication that he's taken time to do special things with her yet she still remains the faithful golden retriever. Always being there when he needs but never the focus of his life. That's how your wife sleeps with the neighbor that always pays her attention kids.
I don't even know why I'm ranting about this. Known about how SAO is written for awhile and even warned that GGO won't be any good.

Did they change the locket? I could have sworn she had it with her for years, slowly feeding it magic, instead of just getting it at the start of the war from her dad's chest.
Yeah you are right. minor detail. + Show Spoiler +TBH the pendant in the VN presented some loophole with its healing power, especially in UBW after Rin be able to use Zelretch, she would be able to charge it relatively easy. So change the origin kinda skip around all that
+ Show Spoiler +Thats true, but I kinda felt that the pendant was presented as being a bigger deal to Rin, which made the fact that she used it to save him a bigger deal. But yea pretty minor point in the grand scheme of things.

I don't get it, are they really trying to teach us what "prisoner" means, and how to use it in a sentence?

All we needed was the origin of the word and thats a perfect spelling bee information set.

Coolest of girls? Are you sure you know every girl that exists? It's fine that you don't. But here, we're talking about Asuna, not someone out of all the girls that you have met.
And have you seen the beginning of SAO2? It literally shows kirito and asuna being lovey dovey and it's been like that for a long time. It's months after fairy dance after all. Saying that Asuna isn't his center of attention out of a small time compared to how much time he had spent with her since the end of fairy dance? That's a bit of a stretch. It's pretty obvious here that Reki isn't trying to write a good or even a regular romance story here otherwise there would be more episodes purely for asuna and kirito to have fun together in this season.

If you want to talk about how lovey dovey the two is it is only more silly that Kirito should introduce Asuna as "his friend". So why is the argument even going when the point is so simple? Author sucks and can't write well. The end.

Source is alright for a harem fantasy until silly arc. Only thing I might worry about anime is Horizon level cowboobs.

Because the point is to have Sinon be relaxed. The whole introduction was scripted so Sinon would meet the post office worker. Even then, I don't see anything wrong with calling your gf/wife a friend. She can be both.

idr that whole thing since GGO, but Kirito isn't one to have the kind of consideration to make an introduction of Asuna like that on purpose. But eh.
As for how you don't see an issue in introducing gf/wife as friend. Do that yourself then and see what comes of it, I guess?

+ Show Spoiler [SAOII] +Good idea with showing Sinon the other side of the coin imo. Her act saved many others and that should help her cope from this point on. Also, giving him a message of "It's not over" lol, funny stuff. Not a bad episode overall though I figured that Sinon might end up shooting him instead of just smacking him with the player lol.

I gotta agree with everyone else. Feels odd for him to introduce her as just a friend and not gf etc... He did group them together as friends from SAO but that's the only point that I see 'for' calling her a friend lol.

Madan no Ou to Vanadis Episode 1 was solid, seems like it has a lot of potential.

SAO2: The big question is why there is an empty can on top of an upside down bucket conveniently placed in one of the scenes.
