I enjoyed the flashback sequence, only because the actual SAO arc was the only story arc that I've really enjoyed thus far and because I love it when shows have a little bit of a throwback.
Episode was alright overall, some pretty tense moments that made my heartbeat increase for some odd reason, I never usually get that watching any kind of show and it's even stranger that I experienced it watching a relatively tame episode of some anime, I dunno. The one thing that's annoying is that they've brought in a romantic aspect that turning Kirito into a girl was supposed to prevent. I know it won't progress far at all but it's still annoying to see that every girl Kirito comes into contact with falls for him in one way or another.
To the point, the show's lost it's touch, episode was alright overall, hoping shit picks up in coming episodes.
