Nobody knows what a Gary Stu means...

Well in fairness he is right, Kirito is Gary Stu(not as bad as some people make him out to be in my opinion but that is neither here nor there) he is just using it wrong.

You're contradicting yourself, if Kirito is a Gary Stu, then he used the term correctly.

But as he does not fit any characteristics of a Gary Stu, it's obvious Kirito is not one, thus, he is using the term wrong.

Like he isn't an asocial prick, dense as fuck and likes only one girl out of the lot, cries at every little obstacle and gets angry at every little thing that happens, plays video games all day, hides his own personality to play solo etc.

Yeah what an unrealistic character.

Everyone knows all 14 year old boys who get locked into a game and forced to fight for their life for the amusement of their childhood hero immediately grow giant e-peens, start benchine 450 pounds, and powersquat their way to the 100th floor in 3 days.

God. Why.

I heard that some information about GGO was supposed to come online today.. I mean, it would've been weird if GGO already started? SAO just finished in december.


Will Kirito be in this?

If not I might just pass on it.


if you have read the light novel's for gun gale online yes kirito will still be the main character but as for asuna in gun gale online she doesnt make alot of appearence like she did in the past and she cheer's on kirito in pvp tournaments.


Nice.

The anime wouldn't be the same without Kirito's berserk warcry. It makes the show.


Gotta love them Gary Stu's.

Also not liking the fact that Asuna has went from competent fighter > damsel in distress > cheerleader if those facts are right.


well ALO she is she is unable to really do anything because of her circumstances
as for GGO she doesn't actually play the game and Kirito isn't playing it as a permanent thing there are certain reasons he starts it

I really hope a Gun Gale Oline arc gets released. I don't read manga or light novels or whatever you want to call them, but I loved SAO. The first 15 or so episodes were amazing! The end was pretty good too.

I don't know if this video has any significance but:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ0IznSbtjk

Any as far as Gary-Stu for Kirito goes. I had no idea what that meant to I looked it up. And Kirito is FAR from perfect, he isn't even portayed as ideal or perfect. He is portayed as being a good gamer. He is antisocial, lacks confidence, and makes tons of mistakes. He is riddled with quirks and imperfections.

Sure he develops into a slightly cooler character throughout the series, but that was situational development backed by a great storyline. Kirito was a great character, great job for whoever thought him up.

That would have to be the most strangest season two trailer I've seen, it started with a count down then all this other random crap, it had nothing to do with the second season, and it did not give any information about the anime it self.

Been three months into the new year, and still haven't heard or seen anything about the new season. :(

How disappointing my friend who praises SAO as if it is a godsent from heaven will be quite devastated to know that GGO will most likely not be airing soon. Its only logical though SAO didn't end that much long ago anyway. He's seriously gonna kill me if he finds out... Does anyone know if their gonna release the SAO manga in English anytime soon? I was thinking of buying the manga and all...

Hey guys! I just finished SAO and I think it was quite entertaining, time just flew by when I watched this show (I got to admit that the first half of the show appealed more to me than the second half, though the ending was great).

So what I just found out from your Posts is that the Light Novels are still ongoing. I wanted to ask if the Anime stayed true to the Light Novels or if they have changed alot? And would you guys recommend reading the Light Novels?

Thanks alot

The events are about 70% the same.It is the characterization and world building in the anime is that suck ass(note that I like the LN).
And if GGO is going to be made dont get your hopes up.If SAO was bad at those two things then GGO will be even worse.

No there isnt.If there was, the anime would be in the database here and flame wars and hype would be all over the place.

There is a difference between the light novels and the anime, but not so much. I also hate it that they made the manga's even shorter -.-

Only real difference is the 2nd episode of the anime and the phantom avenger part are not in the SOA light novels (the 1st and 2nd volume). Phantom avenger is a somewhat late side story and the 2nd episode of the anime is part of a somewhat reboot of the light novel series

I'm not one to hop in bandwagons, be it to hate or cheer a specific series, but the really strong point of SAO was the permadeath threat hanging around everyone like a shadown. That survival element was what made the show standout, and even shine for a brief moment.

A point that was so uterlly disregarded later on that made the show borderline generic, aside from the MMO feeling wich a lot of people seems to dig.

That's also true but I think the feeling of actualy living inside an MMORPG and fighting for your live is what i think the main reason why MMORPG players love this serie.

I wouldn't say mostly, but it's definitive a nice plus if you play some MMOs.
I think the whole story (at least the first half) is set up neatly. I don't know of anyone who hasn't at least tried a computer game before, and be it just Tetris or some sort of Ping Pong, or Mario, ect... So the setting shouldn't be incomprehensible for anyone to at least slightly grasp this permanent and omnipresent fear of:" If I get killed in the game, I'll die for real".
I really like the idea to be honest and probably would have liked it even it was a single player shooter xD The fact that I'm playing MMOs and that the show really implemented details like it was an actual MMO just makes it more decent for me.

I'm for sure they will animate It. If SAO is really popular, then why wouldn't they make a Season 2? But I do hope If they do decide to Animate It, It better not screw up like SAO did. Personally, the only thing I enjoyed there was the fighting scenes. I understood the Story, but I kinda felt that I skipped some Episodes. Oh well.

The point is in the light novels there are a lot more details and side stories and the animation is made from the light novels. The things that aren't animated still come back a little in the story. So basically you really did miss some parts. ^^

Maybe the last part does not tie for you with the first, but I could explain it and you can choose one of these two explanations, note that these are the ones I see fit.

It looks like he "blames" Kirito for Suguha liking him OR he disliked everything about the show except for Kirito.

Because they usually put all the money they've got from the first season in the second...

That way there wouldn't be any anime, it's all about profit.
