Sword Art Online (light novel)
| I thought it was plain bad at first, but after some research the story and characters started making more sense to me. Also, episode 3 being one of Kirito's defining moments for me. Someone said the anime lacks the ability to describe feelings. Anime can only express and expressions can be taken many ways. ALso for those that feel the show is all about Kirito a little too much, the LN is actually from Kirito's POV not a third person, it reads "I said..." not "Kirito said...", so the reader is constantly aware of Kirito's thoughts and feelings. |

Uberchu said: Did you know that, by the consensus of MAL, SAO is a better anime than Higurashi and Bakemonogatari? And I can't take you seriously after you wrote "connect" as "concert." ^ This. But only the part about Bakemonogatari, the anime and the novel. Higurashi could have been a lot better. I know it can be just opinions, but I can't get how most of the top anime are there and with that scores, I know that even I troll voted 10 in shows like Nanoha and TTGL, but man, Sword Art Online being in the top 60 while it was only at 3 episodes sure was dumb. Even now it still dumb. Props to Aria the Origination for being in the top 30 without even 20000 viewers/votes. |
| People on this site rate based mostly on what they liked and less on objective matters. So it would be wrong to say that a higher ranked show is better than a lower ranked show just because of their positions. |

| If your brain is the good natured analyze type. Try thinking it this way... LOOK DEEP INTO THE STORY AND ITS REALITY FEEL! |
| The reason the plot hasn't gotten anywhere yet is because their airing the side stories right now, also in chronological order. So if you say it's gotten worse since the first ep, then you should want to know that they haven't gotten to the main plot yet, but there almost there. The main plot starts 2 years after the first episode, so don't go around b*tching about how SAO is overacted, BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN TO THE MAIN PLOT YET! |

SAO would have to have Fate/Zero level storytelling to deserve the rating's its currently rating. I find this an impossibility right now. The side-story nonsense has left a too big bad first impression and introduction to the SaO universe. F/Z had an amazing introduction which sucked you in from the start (like the first episode of SaO) and continued to deliver each episode. Too bad SaO didn't... |

BloodRequiem said: kamikaze_1996 said: Ok so I did some searching and it did say that a preview was aired at a Tokyo convention on Jun 24th. However those screenshots ARE taken before the show officially aired on July 7th. Assuming that everyone who rated watched the pre-airing in Tokyo then my point that the people who rated it didn't watch the show fails. However the second picture still supports the point that the show is overrated because the rating managed to climb to #31 when only 1 or 2 episodes are out. Again I'd like to emphasize on your misconception that overrated automatically means shit. Gintama and Steins;Gate are overrated but they are by no means utter shit. i never said overrated means shit all i was trying to say was that your point about it being overrated before it aired is completely and utterly false, i don't even know why you spent so much time trying to prove your point when it was false from the beginning BloodRequiem said: It was ranked #44 before it even fucking aired. kamikaze_1996 said: your wrong |

Karpman said: Shaduge said: it was ranked 41 with only 2episodes, clearly something is amiss Clearly, people were biased on this anime, the first episode was good, so you can't say anything on that (if you do I'll just opinion-block you.) and the second was ok, but seriously just stop the arguing about how it is now and wait till the anime is finished, then the "real"ratings will come and a fair score will be formed, no use in discussing about how people rate when they are biased. The problem is that it keeps seeping into other discussions (I once went to the anime blog Random Curiosity. One writer said Tari Tari was his favorite Summer 2012 anime. Then some guy went and brought up Sword Art Online was his favorite. It' s worse once you consider the Favorite Summer 2012 anime thread in the forums and everyone put SAO). We're just annoyed about too much hype and bringing it back down to "rightful" levels. Even now there are still people incessantly raving about how awesome it is. On another note, were there many threads complaining about how overhyped Guilty Crown was? |

| Kirito is an obnoxious overpowered angsty Gary Stu self-insert for the author, who was 15 when he started writing it. He wears an edgy black cloak and is the only one in the game that can use a special skill. He is so perfect that he can predict a bullet's path by looking at the shooter's eyes, and then SLICE IT IN HALF. Asuna is his perfect pure glop glop waifu who is the second best player in the game even though she's never played one before. Kirito meets tons of females despite there supposedly being very few in the game. And all of them become one-dimensional eye candy for his harem. The pacing is abysmal. Am I to believe they got to floor 74 in the second chapter of the LNs (even if we disregard the LNs, the episodes have barely any continuity)? Am I to feel sad for a character that had 10 minutes of screentime, next to no personality, and then kicked the bucket in the most fanfiction-esque death? "Thank you"? Seriously? She didn't even do anything to enhance the plot. The backgrounds are beautiful and the music is nice, but the animation in the battles are close to slideshow-level. Every character under the age of 20 has the same face. I really want to drop it but I'm too invested to stop now. It's too fun to hate on. All that CRAWLING. |
| You have to be blind to not see how overrated is this, seriously. |
| Agreed. Let's hope the pacing picks up! |
| "I left everything I own in One Piece" ~ Gol D. Roger |
| i think its slightly overrated because so many people voted on the first episode without even waiting for the halfway mark however people have been adjusting their ratings accordingly and the score has balanced out now so i don't know if its fair calling it overrated now its definitely arguable tbh i could care less if it was overrated or not and as mentioned before overrated doesn't mean its bad and SAO is definitely better than most of the shit ive seen this summer, the only shows (that i think) that can compare are Oda Nobuna and ive also heard about kokoro connect, those two shows are slowly but surely climbing up |

People need to realize that even if the ratings on MAL are completely fucked up and that a lot of people don't/cant take them seriously, there are still a good number of people who use the MAL ratings to choose their anime. Just because they're messed up doesn't make it justifiable for anything to hit the top charts. Exactly. When a series is overhyped, you end up getting expectations. When your expectations aren't met, then you end up more disappointed then you would've normally been if you were prepared for it to be, let's say, a slightly average take on a boy trapped in an MMPORG world. But the problem here is that people have hyped up SAO to levels that are far past it's usual standard. So obviously when certain people watch it they'll be more upset then they would've been had they known it wasn't all too spectacular. |

kamikaze_1996 said: im not gonna bother going into detail as to why kirito isn't a gary stu and that SAO isn't a harem series, i don't want to ruin the show for you Well, the side stories certainly make it seem like he is (excluding episode 3, it seems like he's just cruising his way through). We'll see how the main story turns out. And it certainly seems like a harem series for the uninformed (I already know who wins, so I don't care about this one). My main complaint about his "harem" is that it seems strange that SAO, a game bought by pretty much only the most hardcore of gamers, would have so many pretty girls. kamikaze_1996 said: it was just as simple as that then it would be ranked much, much lower, campione is a good example of this, even though it had a good LN fanbase, shitty anime was shitty and fell accordingly Eh, Campione's main problem was that it was insanely rushed. If it just followed the light novel Fate/Zero style people would rate it higher. also when i meant balanced, i also meant stable, it doesn't seem to be decreasing as much as before and has stopped Really? I thought it only decreased by only a few hundredths of a point. iirc it started at 8.7 or something. another thing is, is that our opinion doesn't matter, although you say it deserves a 7-8, the majority believe its a 9-10 regardless of what we say The short stories definitely deserved a 7-8. We'll see about the main story. i for one believe its an 8.25/10 so far, but im not gonna rate it until i see how good they animate the mainstory which essentially contains all the good parts Thanks for not rating an anime before it's done. |

| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |

Every character under the age of 20 has the same face. I really want to drop it but I'm too invested to stop now. It's too fun to hate on. All that CRAWLING.  |

He wears an edgy black cloak and is the only one in the game that can use a special skill. He is so perfect that he can predict a bullet's path by looking at the shooter's eyes, and then SLICE IT IN HALF. Asuna is his perfect pure glop glop waifu who is the second best player in the game even though she's never played one before. Kirito meets tons of females despite there supposedly being very few in the game. And all of them become one-dimensional eye candy for his harem. The pacing is abysmal. Am I to believe they got to floor 74 in the second chapter of the LNs (even if we disregard the LNs, the episodes have barely any continuity)?
