I would have to go with Season 1.It was rushed but it still had good aspects in SAO,I didn't really like ALO.Only thing I liked about Season 2 is Shino.

I agree with you despite SAO II spending more time on character development and overall taking a slower pace than SAO, I still find that there's something about SAO that made me enjoy it more.

I've heard from the novel readers that the ending of season 2 is going to be sad so be prepared.

I feel like in the second season they kind of just kicked Kirito's friends out and its just Sinon. and honestly I think it would've been better if Kirito and Asuna had finished going through the levels of the original SAO instead of skipping around so much. I was really looking forward to the anime/ MOBA style they were going for. But I guess they had deadlines and such. Anyway, I'm not complaining but SAO was a lot better than the second, in my opinion.

I hope Alicization won't turn out the same as GGO,where they pushed old characters to a corner.

exactly.

Aincrad > (Alicization=) MR> ALO=GGO>Caliber imo.

Why Aincrad is special for me, that's because it was perfect blend of light and darkness, hope and despair. If they will animate Progressive, that would be dream come true.

Second goes Alicization, because it has amazing story progression, story developing.

Mother Rosario because Yuuki x Yuuki ;3

It's not like I didn't like Caliber, but it doesn't stand a chance compared with others, even tho it was fun little story. For example, I love the idea how Cardinal is always improving by himself.

I think that season 1 was much better than the second season. I miss the old Aincrad. In the second season they barely show Klein, Liz, Silica and all the others they focused on in season 1.

Hmm for me second season is better. MR are the best with Aincard arc in sao.

But... ALO was boring and spoil first season. ;s

The second season was better for sure as a season. they had more time and worked everything out.
However, the charm and novelty of the story in the first season, and knowing that everything was on the line for all the characters at all times, not like in the newer seasons. It's that survival of the fittest that drew me in, and it's why I like the second season. Even though they didn't develop the characters at all, the story tied it together. (Well, The first half of the season :3 )

The first season moved much quicker, and had more action. I felt more of a connection in the first season. Don't get me wrong, the second season was amazing.

SAO 2 - The Phantom Bullet arc was great, it introduced my number one Waifu, Sinon, Calibur was enjoyable because it gave everyone else time in the spotlight and Mothers Rosario is one of my favourite arcs in all of anime.

SAO 1 - The first arc was great, but the second arc was a massive drop in quality.

The Aincrad Arc was definitely my favorite! But my 2nd fave would be the Gun Gale Arc in Season II. 3rd would be Mothers Rosario followed by the ALO arc then lastly the Excalibur Arc.

I'd say SAO II. Even though Aincrad's still my favorite arc in the series, season 2 was just so much better in overall quality. Better pacing, better character development, and OH MY GOODNESS MOTHER'S ROSARIO WAS A FEELS-STORM!!

I think the later entries show how much Kawahara improved as an author. Not to say he was bad at the start, but there is a significant difference between the flow of the story between seasons 1 and 2, and there is much more effort put into the characterization, especially for Asuna in Mother's Rosario.
If most toxic anime fans' criteria and standards for considering problematic instances in anime "acceptable" were made into books, they'd be full of plot holes.

Season one was perfect. It was filled with curiosity, was amazed with the action, animation and the story. Season two was also good but season one was filled with everything I'am talking about the story especially the things that happen to Asuna at the end :(

SAO II easily, since the second half of SAO was garbage, and the Rosario arc was amazingly executed. While I love the first half of SAO, I hate the fact that they did not took advantage of one of the dialogue in the light novel where Kirito revealed his past with her sister taking responsibility for him and why he is a solo player.
