Maybe. BTW SnK 2 has the most PTW entries at 131,000 just barely beating Steins;Gate which has 123,000.

Depends how good season 2 is. It could be good, it could be a load of bollocks.

Maybe. SAO is older then AoT, so it had a year to gain more popularity.
every single one of my forum posts is dumb and invalid except for 1, I don't claim them it was a different person it was all fake

I'm checking the "most popular anime" board everyday, hoping that AOT will take over SAO.
One day, we'll win.

why haven't we seen more of these super-popular anime since AoT ended in 2013?

the closest from 2014 is tokyo ghoul at #16, and 2015 one punch man at #33, but they are several hundred thousand users lower

Yes, because these overtly masculine pigs will drool over anything that panders to them, including violence, gore and other overly meninist ideologies.

If you're referring to the politics arc, it's not just talking and no action (as some fans for some reason claim) and you've got the other shifters taking a more active role, the Utgard Castle, the whole Reiss deal and not to mention during the politics arc Levi takes a lead role and last time I checked he was the most popular character in AoT.
Anyhow, if done right (and when it's finally done) I think season two can easily beat first season, crossing my fingers they don't go Kabaneri on the anime and just follow the manga.

Don't worry Araki in a interview in March said that he will adapt the series as faithfully as he can, there isis a reason why the wait has been this long.

@TiaDee I can see why a lot of persons are saying that, following the uprising arc monthly may not be as exciting as reading all in one go. Not to mention the anime will make the experience even better. But I guess no one is considering those factors.

Steins;Gate aired five years ago, but the number of people who have it in their PTW is definitely higher than Evangelion 3.0. 123k > 56k

-_- that's a completely different thing. A better comparison would be steings gate 0 ptw, keep in mind steings gate has aired since 2011 a l lot more time to gain more members than s2.

Maybe but I wouldn't say it deserves it. Sword Art Online 2 wasn't as great as it's first season and from the manga I know the second of AoT it won't either because it's a lot more slow paced than the first half.

Steins;Gate 0 doesn't have as many members, but something impressive about it is that it has a mean score of 9.4 which is higher than anything that has finished airing (although this is more of a hype score rather than projected quality based on the source material).

I think regardless of how good it is (which I believe immediately after it airs fans will love it no matter what) Season 1 will beat SAO if only because simple buzz will make people watch it and you only need like two thousand people to watch it, that is notthing in comparison to the hundreds of thousands that have watched so far.

To be honest so do I (especially since it's the same director) all they need to do is faithfully follow the manga, add their slick animation and dazzling gliding though the trees shots, have a badass opening and I don't know how they could fail.

I don't know, it's one of those things that for unknown reasons the collective internet mind has decided that it will forever be this way and no amount of convincing seems to change anything. Oh well, when season two will be released this issue will be settled (for better or for worse).

Snk s2 is also rated 9+ its not a big deal tbh. Plus you completely miss the point.

Years ago I heard the same thing where they changed a lot of things or something. Basically it didn't follow the LN fully or accurately 100%.

Ao no Exorcist came out in the same season as Steins;Gate and has almost as many members as well as having around as many episodes but has about half as many PTW members.

No. It will alienate most of it's fanbase, except the most hardcore fanboys with it's complete change of focus. And it hardly will bring new fans, since I doubt people who didn't like first season will decide to watch the second one.

This is true. Before it reached the current events and possibly the new arc it is now, the events that happened and the their results built up slowly.

No he meant if the second season will influence more members to add the first season in their list. Op wasn't saying the second season was going to surpass anything.

Why??? It seems everyone forgot about the clash of titan arc??? How is that arc different from the previous arc in the first season? The uprising arc will be the 2nd cour of snk, so it will have little effect on the first arc Beginning hype.

that's all the 2nd season needs.

@zombie_pegasus you still miss my point.

"If done right" = reduce the most they can this part or focusing most of its time on the few "3Dgear battles" and the short moment with the two titan buddies? If they do it, yes it will succeed certainly. But on the other hand, this would be bad.

Which why I say it's not a big deal, jo jo part 4 was also rated 9+.

To your question op, it will most likely surpass sao when season 2 airs. I don't know why all these people are talking about the uprusing arc, that wont start until like episode 14 of season 2.

Why might I ask? What was so bad about that arc? I admit unlike long-term readers I binge-read it, but I can't think of any reason why it was terrible.

Yes, SNK will become 2nd most popular, even if the second season is really bad . A new season will bring new viewers anyway, and SNK is only 3K away from SAO on the Most Popular list : he will surpass it .
But I also think that SAO : ordinal scale will be a good advertise for the anime, so maybe SAO will outdistance SNK in 2017 .

One thing is certain : SNK will get the second place, even if it's during a short time .

I doubt it, the only way for it to be more popular would be if it was increasing members at a faster rate. Also considering popularity count I'm relatively sure includes people who have it on their plan to watch I kind of doubt a season 2 would pull enough people in to season 1 to beat SAO.

Thank you, someone that has a common sense, everyone else is like season 2 is going to be bad so therefore season 1 wont gain any new members. Also ignoring the fact that the first arc of season 2 is called the best arc from most manga readers in the entire series.

It just like how everyone was junping on the kabaneri is better than snk bandwagon just a few month ago, now if you should ask which is better at this current time only a minority of people will be saying that now. Sigh!

And just you watch all those bandwagoners will be jumping on the snk bandwagon when it starts to air. Basically these people are mindless bots that follow trends and don't have a brain for themselves. Smh

@GamerDLM around last year snk was 8k behind sao, which mean the gap is slowly closing.

@TiaDee I think it was better than the premise of the manga. That's when I started to like it more than some other manga.
That's why I think it will be despised by anime-fans who constantly praise the action and violence in the anime

SNK will become more popular than SAO BECAUSE his number of members increase in a faster rate . For SAO, this increase is just frozen . For SNK, this increase will be stimulate by the new season, even if the second season is the worst animation that humanity has created .

SNK will beat SAO before the new season start, it's a fact .
