With everything from another tragic demise and excessively cute girls to sneaky bots and some rather egregious cheating, Sword Art Online’s 12 outing is once again proving it has everything any anime or MMORPG fan could possibly want, and is continues to enjoy sky-high popularity as a result…

Like all over hyped anime when this ends its going to be forgotten about and no is going to care any more like what happen to guilty crown.
what's guilty crown?
Guilty Crown story is just plain shit after episode 6, poor characters, good designs wasted with such story.
And I don't remember about GC being overhyped... at least not here in my country.
Fail.
Guilty Crown was never good to begin with.
This isn't either... shitty generic harem anime
Uh... only 1 girl died actually... the others are good and lively :)
if u were perceived as one of the strongest men in the world you best believe bitches are coming for your dick
idk about manga but, how is SAO anime an harem?
and i dont see the hype in my country...
So many generalized statements that fall as a fallacy...
I just stopped there...won`t waste any time to watch it
@17:56
Too fat.
1 boy surrounded by bunch of woman = harem just b/c they kill them dont mean anything. Harems now days do the same generic stuff with a twist and thats SAO twist
This is not a harem anime. Harem animes don't kill off most of the girls.
It wont be forgotten since there's a 2nd season coming :)
I find all of this hate baffling. If you don't like something, don't watch it. It seems Artefact likes it, but I don't click his posts on anime I don't care about...
overhyped? As someone who has read the books, it is a good story. whether or not the anime does it justice is another matter, but we'll see.
Fail. Everybody knew about SAO even before it got an Anime adaptation. Keep dreaming fag
So your post is, "I don't like SAO, so you shouldn't either."
you have right.
Scumbag Sankaku Complex.
do you still rember code geass? yes? it was hyped too. no one caring about code geass? try flaming it
Code Geass was actually worth the hype, just sayin.....
@14:53
Which happen to be a lot better than your "adult" anime
then what the hell do you expect in a shonen anime? make one yourself if you think you can make a better one....dumbasses these days
@14:53 Then why the fuck did it make my dick hard!
No, it wasn't.
It was just a typical children's Shonen series.
Code Geass had great first season and absolutely horrible second season. If first season would be on level of second one, then nobody would remember it today anymore.
Sorry, but Code Geass had the most epic ending evah. The second season was a bit chaotic though. Too many plot twists.
Code Whatgass?
U jelly?
SAO sucks and you know it.
indeed
SAO SUX
SAO sucks? Something must've gone haywire with ur head.
".hack is better than SAO"
-Bob Marley
Well, darn, I didn't believe it at first, but if Bob Marley says so, then it must be so.
*you* suck for making a quote of people who obviously unrelated to this.
Kudos Artefact, this is far more "troll tastic" then top lists and everything else..
A little bit of myself dies every time I see a story praising SAO..
I am kind of glad they actually did the LN Chronologically for the Anime.
The LNs are AMAZING, Following them and all I can say is I cannot wait for a Second Season GGO FTW!!
To all hates of SAO, you mad bro cause you ain't getting Asuna. Oh and those who keep saying this is .hack needs to go shoot themselves, the two are very different in multiple aspects.
This shit is just another generic harem anime with a small twist. This shit is a disgrace to mmorpgs.
actually it is
same as Accel World
SAO even got a true Harem Ending for Alicisation by the Author
On top of becoming Digital Jesus, every female he meets wants to fuck him.
It's basically a fucking harem..
What a fucking moron...
This isn't a harem series, idiot.
Disgrace of MMORPG? This is THE BEST STORY for MMORPG based anime I've ever seen!! .Hack story is good, but it counts only for the game storyline. The anime sux and boring as hell.
disgrace to mmorpgs? Every gamer i know that watches this show and i mean every1 would love to play that mmo instead of every shit mmo we currently have -.- (i played several mmos and not only wow)
One thing that I've noticed from the fandom of SAO is that they love pointing to people that are mad at the story that they won't get Asuna/because Asuna isn't virgin and other shit like these.
Come on, nobody like this projection of ideal woman from the author outside of the fandom, she is just too Mary Sue to be fun.
I do understand what a Mary Sue is. I just don't like the classification. It is a hate term like many others that has no meaning outside the hateful crowd (usually of feminazis) that likes to use it.
What YOU think is a good character is your personal opinion and other people are under no obligation to agree with you.
Talking about "realism" there is a hell lot more realism, despite your tastes, in a character that fits almost flawlessly in the idea of an ideal girl, accordingly to some people, because this idea is highly subjective anyway, than in a character that has the strength of 10 men, or the ability to fly or teleport on his own.
And realism is irrelevant in fiction anyways. I am quite capable of enjoying non realistic fiction and many times I even prefer it, as I am sure happens with many many people, rest assured.
Why limit yourself to what is real when fiction allows you so much more?
You don't seem to understand what a mary sue IS. See, a GOOD character is both someone that is both enjoyable to watch and maintains some realism. A Mary Sue is a perfect character, lacks flaws and the world just seems to revolve around her (OR HIM!!!!) They don't move the plot, the plot just moves for them.
And by all that is good and decent, does the WHOLE idea of SOA just throw realism out the window. And not in the over-the-top so-out-there-it's-awesome way, but in the how-in-the-holy-fuck-can-that-possibly-happen.
The fandom of SAO is quite big enough though, and your opinion is just that, your opinion, which at the end of the day means nothing to anybody but yourself.
Therefore despite your finding Asuna too perfect to your tastes, a lot of people find her a good character and their opinions weight far more than yours.
And to argue against your last point most people like the projection of ideal people. That is why there are so many epic heroes of demigod proportions in popular literature, so many male fans of harem comedies where lots of beautiful girls suddenly decide to get a crush on a common guy, and so many female fans of Shojos novels where legions of rich, handsome, and lovesick guys compete for a plain girl.
The mundane you see everyday, and therefore most people like to fantasize about the exceptional.
Because willing suspension of disbelief can only go so far before you have to point out that Kirito is far to 'uhmaaazzzing' and his character isn't a character so much as just a cutout for the plot to move for, as well as everyone taking all of this in stride when atleast some characters should be having a breakdown.
As a guy who read and liked the LN's, I'm going to have to disagree with you. Adapting the side stories like this was a TERRIBLE move.
woohoo, another book reader!
Which side story? You mean Yui's story? This is NOT a side story, since she will make a prominent role in the ALF Arc.
In no way was it a good idea to keep all the side stories. It just disturbs the flow of the story and gives it a harem appearance when it really isn't. The Yui story was kinda unavoidable as she is a plot device in the next arc, but all the others? Useless. We could have been at this point of the story 5 weeks ago.
Without Lizbeth & Silica, SAO would be dull with only Kirito, Asuna & Klein :( Those two gives you different feelings and color when they show up.
Agree, cos SAO is are more focused on romance but LMAO making relation in MMO is shit just like one of the character stated in .hack//movie she said the reason she made a male character cos its troublesome for her to be approach by any random person.
Then when will you actually slip in Lizbeth and Silica before the 2nd Arc?
-OVA? Ridiculous
-After the main story of the first Arc? Non LN readers will scream, "wheres my main story".
-Right in the middle chronologically correct? on LN readers will scream, "wheres my main story".
See what I did there?
-Finally, Ignore their side stories. Non LN readers will scream "Who the fuck is she?"
Got any bright ideas?
You don't put them in in the first place. I liked the first novel especially because it didn't degrade itself into a boring harem that the following novels did. If they simply didn't put in Lisbeth, Silica...and even Lyfa who is going to pop up eventually, I feel like they would be able to flesh out Asuna and Kirito's character more, far past what was shown in the Light novels.
Characterization is the weakest point of the author of SAO and accel world. The anime would have been better had they tried to fix this part by slicing out the unnecessary characters rather than introduce girls that don't last more than 1 or 2 episodes.
Honestly, Lisbeth and Silica don't even show up in the elf arc. They're totally pointless.
Of course, given how things are going, they're probably aiming to extend the SAO anime into Gun Gale Alicization, etc and honestly the later Light Novels are really quite bad compared to the first 4.
Gungale will be covered by the anime
Alicisation won't
No Lyfa? Are you retarded? What the hell is wrong with you? She's the second most important individual in the 2nd arc, without her, there might as well BE no second arc.
You've just destroyed your entire credibility by saying that, how can someone who thinks they know so much about how SAO should honestly believe Lyfa isn't needed?
the only reason why this got too famous cos SAO have focus on romance genre while .hack series dont have it but in fighting sequence .hack still more better. SAO vs .hack PVP surely SAO is gonna lose TEAM SAO vs Kite and Haseo will wipe them out.
Agree, .hack anime is so damn boring. I recommend you just play the Game, the story and plot is waaaay much interesting. Even romance is included in Haseo's story :)
SAO = another angsty protagonist again that he thinks he can beat all wtf. .hack main story was a game and the anime version dont have connection after all to main story only .hack//sign and illuminaty
All of you guys comparing SAO to .hack (Especially .hack//sign) are forgetting one very important point.
.hack//sign was about the mystery surrounding Tsubasa. The .hack series as a whole are based on quirks and bugs within the game, but don't necessarily have to do with ONLY the game. Those of you who call .hack "boring" probably couldn't sit there and appreciate the flow of the story without any action going on. It's a mystery and a drama more than an action series.
SAO is definitely a drama, but it's got a lot more action than .hack//sign ever did. .hack//roots had a lot of action, but the story wasn't nearly as good as sign, imo. SAO seems to encompass a lot than "just action" or "just mystery" and has a lot more to do with human psychology than many of you can probably understand. While it's not the most accurate in regards to psychology (And to be quite frank, I believe .hack nails the psychology aspect better in general than SAO), it deals with parts of it that most people, author included, probably haven't experienced; true life-or-death scenarios. Those of us who have been in these situations can at least appreciate the effort put in.
Now, I must say I love both the .hack franchise and I now love SAO as well. Both SAO and .hack//sign are in my personal top 5 anime of all time list (And I use the term "anime" loosely here, since I have read the novels of SAO, and am basing my decision on those in hopes the anime delivers) and while I can understand all of the comparison between the two franchises, the blatant ignorance portrayed by a good number of you would be shocking were this any place but SanCom.
SAO and .hack are completely different entities even though they share a similar setting, that being an MMORPG, so before you start comparing the two keep that in mind.
And if anyone actually reads this, I think i'd be more shocked at that than I was at the aforementioned blatant ignorance.
.hack was so boring that I used it to fall asleep too on those restless nights.
i deleted .hack after watching the first 1~3 ep
Well, duh, .hack was at least decent. "Sign" one anyway.
Agreed GGO is awesome lol. I really hope there is a second season that covers the phantom bullet volumes
the anime will cover the full Phantom Bullet Arc
but will stop before alicisation so my guess is some sidestories and then gungale
and hopefully a movie or OVA series to cover alicisation next year
No...SAO doesn't suck...YOU SUCK...Yes, I went there, what are you gonna do about it???? HAAHHHHH!!!!
You suck
my dick, and you know you're enjoying it. I know I do.
So do you have any suggestions what anime to watch? From my impression you have an extensive knowledge when it comes to anime.
