How many threads about this has been made? It's getting really tiring. On the other hand it all depends on peoples tastes of anime. I like it since I find aspects of the series incorporating various genres that I love in an engaging manner, etc. So take it what you will, familiarity (with genre's in this case) breeds likability after all. |

Your avatar makes me feel like Kirito is the one saying it and I have to read it in his tone and once I Finish reading it, I gotta look at your Avatar. ![]() ![]() |

Shirubaasouru said: same reason the sissy Justin Bieber, lame Twilight, Call of Duty are so popular Not sure what you mean. Justin Bieber and Twilight are popular 'cause this planet is overpopulated with brainless fangirls. Call of Duty on the other hand is awesome by definition, Battlefield's campaign stories always sucked and always will, and I couldn't care less about multiplayer. |

I do think I said "one of the best", not the "best of the best" so if you think Space Bros. is the best for this year, then believe on what you say. It's all opinions. :) |

Like I care ? Nope. I enjoy watching a certain show, whether it is popular or not. I watch SAO cause I've read the novel and in love with it. I just want to see how are they going to animate my favourite novel on the tv screen. Whether it's a bad or good adaption, I will stay and watch till the end. Same apply for Little Buster! next season. |

unique, great story, very interesting, enjoyable of action & characters. Theres your answer, if you or anyone else still doesn't understand. Sadly it means this isn't your taste of anime and can't see its true worth. |

I read the light novels Anime must be god tier perfection 10/10 after watching first episode SAO fanbase in 3 sentences. hatahari said: Well I think it's popular because it's by far one of the best new animes for this year. :) What kind of shit did you watch for you to say something that absurd? 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. |

You better start watching it now. Atleast one episode. That will probably answer your question. |

I laughed so much after reading your comments. " I read the novel, then the anime must be god tier perfection" There aren't any light novel/manga/visual novel adaption which can be considered as "perfection" to its origin, they are nowhere near it. So don't get your expectation up then get disappointed. You think clannad AS was great compare to its origin? Nope -> play the game How about Fate/Zero? Nope -> read the novel the same apply for: Bake/Nisemono Ef And many other "good" adaption. There only delivered 50-70% contents of their origins. |

well, it is quite similar to the .hack franchise, of course that could be one factor, i myself started watching the anime, and after episode 2 was in love with the anime, so much i picked up the novels, and already finished up until volume 9, i gotta say, its just plain awsome and lets face it, the DEATH GAME, is as popular as ever, everyone loves it, mix it with romance and battles, and you get SAO and because of that it becomes popular btw, not meaning to spoil you or anything, but the reason episodes 2-8 were so "boring" was to set up the story, since the actual story (as like in the volume 1 of the LN) starts from episode 9 (on the 74th floor) givei it some time, you'll love it |

DivisionG said: A mixed Review? Most people have voted 8+, Therefore you got that very high score. As for Why, Many have been Light Novel readers and so am I. After reading the current volumes It's just amazing to see the story/action/dialogues come to life in a 2D entertainment show. Obviously there are some parts that could be better, But just seeing the characters come to life is what captivated me on to the anime.[/quote=DivisionG] |
