The arc kinda drags, and is filled with "depression-porn"; where so many sad things happen in a small story in order to force you to pretend to care about the characters. Some elements had some effect, but the massive death scene of Yuuki surrounded by all the users felt super dumb and forced, something that could easily be done in real life with Asuna at the hospital.
Also I find it super weird Asuna being in tears in the beginning when Yuuki hasn't logged in for a few days, lots of MMO users take breaks; I find it weird, now that the show has no murder via the game, for such things to be made such a big point of tension.
Easily the best AFO set story, with pleasing animation & soundtracks. The new opening video is also more appropriate to the intro song that was established in the last arc which is carried over.
