I think that a capslock post lock is annoying.

So SAO. I like the LN and I find this adaptation really bad. But even if it's bad, I watch it because I want to see this story animated. That's all.

TBH I had no idea it was so popular till I yday watched the episode 10 forumthread and saw there very over 200 reply's in 3 hours, I was like "whut o.o" but I can understand it.
TBH episode 9 attrected me to the anime very badly and idk why just couldn't wait for the next episode cause like most might said I like the concept of being trapped in a game and fighting you're way out.
I also yesterday started to right the novel translations but err xD let's say I got a bit pissed knowing I predicted a total wrong ending (that finishing floor 100 wouldn't be that the anime finished), pisses cause I don't know what to expect more then readed volume 2 and 3 and I found it kind off odd... and for the rest I'll let myself be surprised if it gets an anime adeption or not since am to confused.
Bet this is bad English but felt like posting it xP

  1. The concept is good. Attract gamers.
  2. After seeing episode one, you can clearly tell that the show had amazing potential.
  3. The LN is amazing.


Why it got 8.66 score is a mystery tho. Prolly related to these 3 points.

SAO is good but highly over rated. The plot is good but how it was presented was awful. There aren't any action other than the one in episode 2 and 9. The rest are just trolling action with only a few hack and slash win. There aren't much fan service too. And There aren't much things to be considered as plot twist, most of the things happening are highly expected. Also SAO art is good nothing to complain about that and the characters are appealing in their own way. But aside from that everything else is bad.

Because everyone is jumping the damn bandwagon, of course with its huge sales in light novels it already gained an audience. But since it got hyped up so much everyone started paying attention to it.

As for how good it is, it is ok, I have seen better, I am not particularly a fan of the story skipping around or Kirito being an emotionless guy. But since people like this, let them. Sooner or later a new anime will come along and those same fans will say: "This is so awesome, comparing SAO to this is like comparing shit to gold."

It is all hyped now, so after it ends it won't be that popular any more, and as a result will be marked as a decent anime, but not like the biased fanboys are saying: "BEST ANIME EVER!!!".

It's popular because there's a lot of people who've read the LN. The LN is a masterpiece. It doesn't matter how bad the adaptation is, it's still SAO. I'll score it 9 no matter what happens in the adaptation just because it's SAO. SAO is godlike.

Glad to see that some people here still have standards.


Just because you enjoy grimdark anime, don't even try to think that your taste is much superior to anyone. Hating SAO because they were too mainstream? congratulation, you just become a hypocrite by also humiliating yourself by fanboying yourself to DN and Geass. Hating SAO because they were too happy two-goody and no grimdark moment? more hypocritical argument because SHNY got no grimdark shit you loved.

Seriously, you grimdark animu lover needs to chill yo tits and watch anime with open minded awareness. Give this series a try and open your close minded of grimdark emo perspective, that should makes you enjoy more of anime without getting that grimdark emo perspective blocking your sense of enjoyment in watching anime.

And no offense intended about the anime i mentioned earlier, SHNY is one of my all time favorite, same goes with S;G.

Everything that is not rated on my list is bad and bellow 8. Code Geass was mediocre at best.
What's SHNY? Haruhi? It was also bad, the movie, however was great.

And yes, i dont think i'll watch a single anime show this year anymore, unlike most of you, i hate watching shows which are dull and simplistic.
Now, i'm not saying you all should stop watching this show, but, i'm simply implying that it's bad.


To each their own i guess. But still, it wouldn't hurt to give those anime that you imply "dull and simplistic" a shot. Open mindedness is the only thing you need before you got into total enjoyment in watching animes, not limited only to those that isn't "dull and simplistic".

Most "grimdark" anime are shit as well, since authors often think that dark themes make good storytelling. And if you look at Code Geass, Guilty Crown, Deadman Wonderland, the Zetman anime and other examples you can see that this is just not the case. It's actually even worse fanservice than most stupid harem shows or ecchi series, because most of the fans of "dark anime" are having superiority complexes and refuse to watch light-hearted stuff. "Only mature anime for mature people such as myself"....it's mostly underage idiots who think that way.
Nevertheless SAO is mediocre at best, with hilarious harem elements (Kirito must be a walking aphrodisiac), a self-insert protagonist of the worst sort and poorly written scene after scene.

Don't try to deny it. CoD is for pre-teens, who got the game with mommy's credit card and think they're h4xX0r. Let me guess, you're under 18? Because I never met an actual CoD player that I could classify as an adult...
Anyway, enough off-topic.

If you like waste, then it's no wonder you like CoD :P
And MP3 is pathetic if you compare it to the first two parts. I was greatly disappointed by Rockstar, although I should've known better after GTA4. Play some Hearts of Iron 2/3 if you want good games.

^ this site is one of the most reliable site to evaluate an anime you can find across the Internet. I cannot agree more on all of their awards.
It's subjective to an extent, but it's still well-executed and a great show, it's one of the very few shows I gave a 10. The website looks credible somehow, I'll bookmark it to see the ratings at the end of the year or next year, this's the first year I've watched on-goings so I think I can tell now how credible it is when I see the rankings. And thanks for the website.

In the end, it's just a matter of personal preference and opinion. Like how you don't like Code Geass because Lelouch is not evil enough similar to Light, and that's exactly opposite for me. While It's alright for you to hate SAO, I don't think your preference and opinion about what to like or not like in an anime are superior to others.
