Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online - Refrain

The only thing good about it was the little extra clips after the ending, where they pissed around with the clips. Adding weird sound effects, retarded editing and honestly it was funny as fuck. Other than that, there is no real point to watch most of the episode unless you have memory loss or something, just watch the little ending clips. There isn't really much else you can say about this over than ... it's a recap ... it's going to be the same thing you saw before, just edited together as if they are "Watching the battle afterwards", therefore it's only showing the tournament, not theback story.

In short, I found this as unnecessary, though after watching the entire thing, my score went up significantly. There was no story, first off. If you’re new to the world of anime, then this might surprise you, thought the word ‘recap’ should be pretty self explanatory. This is simply going over the last 5 episodes. There is pretty much nothing new in here at all except the commentary-- which is grating and annoying, in my opinion. The animation was very well done, as usual. It’s clean, beautiful, and nice to look at. In some ways, it makes up for the shitty storyline. The sound so far hasbeen great. The opening and closing haven’t really grown on me all that much, but the background music, sound effects, and voice actors are all great, so there isn’t really anything major to complain about. In all honesty, I think my commenting on the characters would be biased since I don’t really expressly like most of them. This is a recap too, so I doubt anything I say will be any different than the way the characters are portrayed in the full series. I had taken a month long break (due to work and lack of time) from anime in general so I had seen episode 5 and didn’t really get around to watching anything until episode 9 was already out. I had a pretty solid understanding of what happened, but I watched this just to make sure, but it was honestly a waste of my time. All you need to know is that LENN and M won SJ. That’s pretty much it. In terms of enjoyment, I did have fun watching the spoofs at the end and how the author parodied himself, which is what made this recap redeemable. I would recommend this if you: like GGO and took a LONG break between the 5th and 6th episode, like spoofs (just watch the few minutes after the credits then), love GGO so much that you just want to relive it in a shorter timespan I would NOT recommend this if you: are watching episode 5 and 6 in succession, aren’t a big fan of spoofs, don’t have time to rewatch things/time to spare, don’t like GGO all that much Have a great day everyone!

Oh, hey, another pointless recap, nothing special to see here. For a show that spans as little as 12 episodes, it is in itself a recap, so why dedicate an entire episode just top recap like 5 episodes? Beats me. The only thing worth checking out about the recap is the after credits compilation of some of the shots from the show coupled with the “correct” sound effects, I wish they had that on the entire episode, it would have been worth it at last. Really, the recap is just M and Pito narrating over what went on the first Squad Jam, sort of like a couch-conversation style.Still, not worth your time. However, watching it through, it really shows how little happened in the first 5 episodes, truly the trashiest kind of entertainment, I love it. I can easily suck my mind out and give the dude a comfy place beside me to enjoy the show and still go over the episode no problem.

This special is a recap of episode 1 to 5 from the main anime. There is no new animation whatsoever, but we have a new voice from M and Pitohui. This is basically like a reaction video from those two, watching and analyzing how the first Squad Jam goes, following LLENN. Not really interesting to watch except you somehow forget the plot line and need to watch recap from the officials. I think its better off to just watch it from YouTube. Though their reaction are counted as "new content", if that's your intention, then that's okay. They of course reuse the animation, taking highlight cliphere and there when there is something significant happening. Also still use the same OP and ED. And the way they use it is very clever too. Its not just randomly placed music in an anime, but the characters is actually listening to it canonically inside the anime. So should you watch this anime? Well if you're a superfan of either Pitohui or M, why not. But I reccomend you to watch it after finishing the main anime even though it is a recap, because there's a subtle spoiler about the show major plot twist. Thank you for reading my review :)
