jmal said: HauntingShock said: Another SAO... Well, it could be better... but Satelight? I don't know... 1st time I've heard of them~ They're a reasonably major studio. They do a lot of in-between/assistance work but have the main animation role on quite a number of shows: AKB0048 Aquarion Macross Frontier Mouretsu Pirates Shugo Chara Symphogear (w/Encourage Films) - and quite a few others. Frontier is obviously their biggest show by far but they have decent success overall. I hadn't notice, but besides the fact that most of those are pretty bad or mediocre, they really seem to have a thing for mecha. I wonder if there's any in this anime? |

| Maybe it will be SAO, but decent instead of terrible? One can dream... |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| haha...of course everyone reaction is "another SAO?" Romance and Shounen together :) I'll give it a shot |
 |
| Wait guys! It's NOT an SAO clone! 30,000 players get trapped in this game--not 20,000! So it's clearly different and original! |

| So this are the effects of shit art online selling good uh? Well it can't be worse than SAO, can it? |
| I'm not going to bash on it just because it looks like SAO. I've never read/watched .hack so I'm not going to bash either Log or SAO for 'copying' hack. The stupidity of others will never end, I suppose. I'll give this a try, like with any other anime. They all deserve a chance. |

| japan is DYING i tell you. DYING |
Sae said: How do I ripped off SAO. How do I ripped off .hack, too. |
| only book i read is twilight c,: it my favorit book ^///^ |
| The SAO trend continues |
| I thought being trapped inside video games was a theme since.. like the 80's.. SAO ripoff? That's like saying that any show that is action based is a rip off of Naruto. Shut the hell up and judge it when you watch it. Think for yourselves. But I won't be watching this. The main character design is unappealing to me. |

Kuraaiiya said: How is SAO a harem?edwd2 said: well looks better than SAO to me at least, based on that cover art. But oh wait, Genres: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Magic, Romance, Shounen, never mind. Expecting TW to license the novels here in China soon. Huh? Those tags are pretty good. Better than effortless harem. I just hope this isn't an effortless harem like SAO The only romance in SAO is the love triangle between his sister him and the asuna. Any other girl just appears there for an episode and then goes away. That's not what a harem means. This is seriously stupid. I'm fine with people disliking SAO, or I would be fine with it if at least half of them had a reason to do so, but you don't need to comment on it on every thread that you can. At any rate-- Judging a show on the basic premise is just retardedly stupid. Btooom, Ixion Saga, and SAO, share more or less the same basic premise (getting trapped inside a videogame, or in Btooom's case, a game which is a copy of a videogame), yet are not even close to being similar to eachother. That just shows you are being stupid and hurriedly hating on anything that reminds you of SAO. Edit: Oh yeah, that second paragraph was general, not directed to the guy I quoted. |
|
| I wonder if it'll be another disastrous anime adaptation like SAO!! LOL!! |
| Signature |
| So another ''LOL I'm inside a video game!'' anime, eh? That theme is getting very...overused right now, but anyway I'm going to watch how is it. |
 |
| I'll only watch it if it's a SAO rip-off. |

| how is its a SAO rip off is SAO ripped off .hack? Nachotee said: probably has something to do with every single female character that comes into contact with kirito wants his dick within secondsHow is SAO a harem? saying whether thats a good or bad thying is sujective but saying SAO isnt a harem is outright wrong |
Immahnoob said: Jizzy, I know you have no idea how to argue for shit, tokiyashiro said: Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |

It has a bunch of girls falling for him. If you bothered to watch the last episode, you'd know its more then a love triangle. ... You know what fucking everyone gives reasons as to why they hate just. No. Stop. Please. |

eminagnam said: Synopsis "Elder Tale" is a long-established and popular online game: but the day in which was introduced the 12th expansion pack, 30,000 Japanese users have been confined to the world of the game. In the world that is a fusion of reality and the game, our hero Siloe begins his fight from the city of Akiba. Another SAO? Exactly what I was thinking. |

| Can't wait to see it in anime. |
 |
| I'm trying to not to compare this to SAO but every MMORPG based anime has been completely underwhelming to me.... I've give this a shot since I truly wish to see the genre done well. My hopes aren't too high though. |
Dalek-baka said: Since it's created by person which made also Maoyuu Maou Yuusha it may be interesting (and I wouldn't mind some similarities). megucas said: It's not a SAO rip off. The LN was published before SAO was even remotely popular... Thank you for pointing that out! I'll definitely check this out now. I enjoy watching (anime) and reading (manga) Maoyuu Maou Yuusha. For me it's an atypical story ~refreshing. When I read the synopsis, it did remind me of SAO but I doubt that similar things would happen to the protagonists. It's just that the setting is the same. I think this is a good chance to see what 'else' can happen to people who are trapped in a game. As long as I enjoy the story, It doesn't matter to me if the author didn't come up with the idea first. |
| Did anyone mention that Log Horizon is written by the same author who wrote MaoYuu ?? |

| Another .hack//... Hopefully it's better than that garbage ripoff Sao. |

YorozuyaGinSan said: Another .hack//... Hopefully it's better than that garbage ripoff Sao. I like how you guys are so ignorant and call SAO a ripoff of .hack. SAO was first written in 2001, an year before .hack first came out. If you're gonna diss on SAO, do it in the proper section, in the proper thread and with the proper information. |

| .hack ripped off tron, SAO ripped off .hack, and this ripped off SAO, end of story >.> |
RockerXD said: .hack ripped off tron, SAO ripped off .hack, and this ripped off SAO, end of story >.> How can SAO rip off of something that didn't come out until a year after it was written? SAO was originally written by it's author in 2001, a year before .hack was released, for a competition. As luck would have it, he far passed the limit (word or line, I can't remember) so he posted it on the net instead. Later, due to it's popularity, it got published. By your logic, Naruto is a ripoff of Hunter x Hunter and One Piece is a ripoff of Dragon Ball. |
|
| I think you guys mean they influenced eachother... not ripped off. So many people comparing it to SAO already lol, it just has a similar setting, calling it a SAO ripoff is like saying every anime set in Japan are all clones. /ptw |
| I like how people keep saying x ripped off x. News flash - EVERYTHING rips off something. Nothing is original. Get over it. |

Yvese said: I like how people keep saying x ripped off x. News flash - EVERYTHING rips off something. Nothing is original. Get over it. I know, but the reason there are many complaints because rip-off is so blatant. At least wait a few years. The critics have not stopped dissecting SAO yet and we are more then likely to have a SAO S2 coming out in the Fall or Spring season next year. I have no opinion on eating-steam rice-when-it's-hot tactic but this is just too comical. |

Log Horizon's, in Apr 2010 (no idea when it was first created). It should be obvious that producers would jump on a show that is similar in setting after the success SAO had. Also, the critics you speak of mostly contain of immature haters who wonder why it's fans defend it after they blatantly diss on it in it's section and discussion threads, one of whom was very active in this thread. |

Either way, SAO is in no way a ripoff of .hack. jmal said: I can't speak for others, but the issues I had with SAO had nothing to do with the premise and setting (which I thought had massive potential). I'm completely willing to let another author take a crack at it. The main issue I have with SAO is how Kirito and Asuna |

| SAO hate in this topic? I can't believe WHY and HOW some people are able to watch Animes if they don't have an open mind to accept things that aren't always logical/perfect. I love SAO, rated it with 10, one of the best Animes ever in MY opinion. (OPINIONS, people have it!) And i hope this one here is identical, i would probably love it too. Haters: stop watching Animes please, stop coming to this site. |
