Just like the original Sword Art Offline, I found the specials to be incredibly boring and hard to sit through. The humour is so forced it isn't funny, and the same predictable things happen - they show some clip of Kirito getting harassed by girls, then they harass him more. Movements of the characters are few and very repetitive, and it doesn't feel like they're actually adding much content at all, except for some technical trivia (eg. Kirito talking about the types of guns and how they work). I found that the general atmosphere was very awkward and scripted, not natural at all.
