Yeah I went back to the subbed version for season 3 as well. To be honest, I've been going back and forth between so many shows, I sometimes lose my place... but now that I think of it, it does seem a little rushed. I've been thinking of checking out A Certain Scientific Railgun as well..
It's funny because SAO is the opposite currently. They are seriously taking their sweet time with this one. This last episode was honestly pretty boring. Before I knew it, it was over and I felt like the story didn't progress at all. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love SAO and don't mind stories that are complicated and take time to tell but.. I dunno, it's just dragging a bit.
