Most people refer to it as haremish because of the large female cast who try to get their hands on Kirito. However, his relationship with Asuna is pretty much solid. Heck, Kirito is usually too slow to realise that he's a chick magnet most of the time anyway. So it's pretty much Kazuto/Kirito + Asuna all the way, even though a few new female characters are introduced. In the fourth arc he even asks her to go with him to America to study.

For the sub and dub thing, the first season took pretty much a year (counting from the first episode's air date), half a year if counting from the last episode's air date. And you don't have to understand Japanese to enjoy the subs. After a bit of time, you get used to merging what your read with what you hear, making it sound well enough as well as more naturally, as Japanese VAs tend to be quite good in series like this and the characters are Japanese, not Americans. Though, really, it's usually just the "first version you hear sounds best" syndrome in this case. I for one don't like watching the dub mostly because (not counting the fact that dubbers are lazy ***es when it comes to doing some simple research) I got used to the Japanese voices.

And I don't get the last question. If you're asking about a reboot, you should know that the anime is an adapation, thus it has limited content to work with. Though that doesn't change the fact that they cut out a lot of content and screwed up a lot of the content they did put in, so they could do a more proper adaptation of the first arc by giving it like 25 episodes or so, but asking for more would be pushing it, as there's not enough content for more right now.
