While this is mostly good, the biggest gripe I have is what I call the Star Wars prequel treatment. My problem is I'm not a fan of when in the main series/saga two characters meet, and then down the road the creators make a prequel where those same characters keep running into each other. Did we really need Kirito and Asuna to meet and converse twice before the initial meeting in the original series? What did this add? A different character could have filled the Kirito role and it would have made more sense. It didn't even have to be a new character, it could have been an already established character. What it comes down to is the creators were probably too worried that fans would be mad that Asuna and Kirito don't share time until two thirds through the movie. Give the fans more credit.
