Hello,
I decided to make an account on here, because I recently got a bit into anime.

I was browsing Netflix and looked into the Anime section, and that's where I found Sword Art Online. So I gave the series a try and was absolutely amazed, this was PERFECT!
I love MMO's and have been playing them since I was a little kid, and man it was sooo good... This was my wet dream, my biggest fantasy, and now I could actually watch it!
Granted, there were some things that might not have made completely sense, but like when you fall in love you can look over such things. Everything was so cool, and I watched 10 episodes to 4 AM, and had no intent on stopping... And then it happened...
The series started turning around completely, and it changed to a love story, where they get married, ADOPT A FCKING BABY and so on... I had to stop..

So going from being a dream, never had I watched something this awesome I was so god damn psyched... Leveling, crafting, guilds, monster killing... AND THEN IT TURNS INTO A GOD DAMN LOVE STORY? How can they do this to me? I feel so betrayed for 15+ more episodes of awesomeness... I just had to share my deep sadness with you all... :(

Sword Art Online didn't even give an accurate portrayal of what actual MMORPGs are like. I enjoyed the anime, but it was lacking in so many areas.

EDIT:
I love the way people post so quickly in a thread that they don't like. If you're not interested in the topic, then don't post and stop helping keep this thread alive.

Don't listen to those haters. if you look at their favourite list, most of the anime they listed aren't even better than sao, to be honest. If you want a good anime try attack on titan, or code geass. just look at my list. I have good taste in anime unlike these guys.

Ok, then please make a thread in the recommendation forum and link it.
Also, be specific with what you want. What demographic (Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen, Josei), what genre (action, comedy, etc.), what subgenre (highschool, death games, classic superrobot) or tone (edgy, straight-forward, more subversive)?

As long as the anime is not jojo bizzare adventure, or logh then any other recommendation is fine. Stay away from those. You have been warned!!
If I should believe in God. I should also believe in the tooth fairy. The bible is man made. It was Made by bearded men to try and control people with their beliefs. Off topic. No anime can even come close to Nana. :P

that's what i keep saying though!!! you only had one mission SAO, and that was to show the higher levels and the legendary tower for an epic final boss-u battle for the ultimate win. it would have been 9/10 from me...

but no, instead, ridiculous ears and all that other badness.

I don't like it when people announce that they hated /strongly disliked anime and they only watched a few episodes of it. Come back and tell me your opinion when you have finished the show.

I actually really enjoyed the 1st arc of SAO. I do agree that the 2nd arc wasn't so great, turned into a generic "rescue the princess" story with Suguha constantly fawning over kirito. I didn't like how kirito
.Although I realize the logic flaws were annoying, I still enjoyed the series overall as a whole.

In the end, It was hard for me to give a rating to SAO due to the difference between arcs. I felt like the first season was an 8.5, the 2nd season was like a 5.5 or a 6.0 to me.

I forget the main chick in that show and she was kinda cool at first, but then she turned into a typical damsel in the second half. Was boring as shit.

I just checked all known parallell universes and came to the conclusion that in none of them SAO had any chance of turning out decent.

Watch Log Horizon if you want a show that makes good use of the MMORPG setting. But don't expect an action series.
I probably regret this post by now.

How about you actually read it before saying it's mediocre... Outside of the fact that I don't think log horizon is mediocre (well, everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, so that's fine with me either way), stop associating the adaptation with the source material when it comes to quality. You don't seem realize how ridiculous this is every single time you do it.
