Incest is sugoi! |
| No, Sugou is sugoi! |
 |
| the worst part about the second half was that it probably made some people think the first half was good by virtue of comparison. |

One more word, two more reasons: boobs. I enjoyed the 2nd half more because it was so bad in a way that it was easier to laugh at. |
| I didn't actually think the second half was any worse than the first half, contrary to what popular belief seems to be. Both halves were flawed beyond belief, but still had the art/sound/enjoyment factors going for them that made people blind to the abyssmal story and character development. I do believe that the storyline would have been better off if they had stayed in SAO the entire time, but that's just one of SAO's many, many glaring issues. Not to say that I would go around shaming people who enjoyed SAO -- I can understand why they would, and people get different things out of anime than others. Anime is meant for entertainment, and if SAO entertained you, it did its purpose just fine, and I can't complain about that. |

| i disagree with you , i liked the first half it was more enjoyable but the second half is good i prefer the first one |
To desire some results, one must take actions  |
| I concur. SAO second cour is the greatest anime of all time. Even better than Boku no Pico. |

| Well I have a slightly different view, I thought the second cour was utter shit. The action is what made it entertaining/bearable - along with the animation. The story took a huge shit and turned into a generic "go save the princess" plot with an unworthy villain to mention. Plenty of things made Zero sense in the second half. Firstly, HOW exactly did Heathcliff become a good guy? (or at least a not-so-bad guy?) and this new villain becomes the Greatest Evil Ever~! Lets see for ourselves: New villain (don't even remember name xD): OMG he tried to rape Asuna, OMG he played with the emotions of 300 SAO players. Heathcliff/Kayaba Ahkihiko: Killed THOUsands of people, trapped THOUsands of people in the game making some go insane or commit suicide. But hey, he's not so bad - he gave Kirito the key to play other games to get trapped in ~ great guy. But the WORST thing of the second Arc= that SHITTY ASS ending. Worst ending i've seen so far in anime. It LITERALLY was a slap in the face for those who saw Season 1 and still kept their brain on during Season 2. Kirito: "Hey everyone! Let's all fly into the sunset filled with digital corpses~! Let's forget about all the dead people in Aincrad, and play around their dead bodies! Let's forget how afraid we were while we were trapped in there for two years and play around for a bit~! Let's also fly there, while thanking the ever-so-nice Heathcliff who made all of this for us! Forget about the thousands of people he killed~ that loser who tried to rape my girlfriend was much worse~!!" And OP, the incest was retarded. A stupid addition = it Ruined the show not Saved it. Arc 1 was good, Arc 2 sucked ass = the show was entertaining. Ending of episode 14 should've been the ending of the show. SUCHHHH a better ending. Ends Rant here. |

I respect your opinion and we have the same opinion on most of the show... Yes it took a retarded turn when the first villain was not even a villain and actually tried to make him a likable guy... ANON said: Now asuna she has been degraded from the very beginning to the point where she was put in a tenticle porn-esque scene. that should say enough |
| Honestly I preferred the first part to the second. Asuna had a use, the environment had a real risk of death and the action scenes made it a good watch. The romance side of it between Kirito and Asuna I tolerated because it was interesting. The second half however was just pure horse shit. It literally forcuses on nothing more than Kirito rescuing his damsel in distress who is now completely useless and how his cousin pines for his dick. Little annoying that it went down the Oreimo route by introducing a WINcest element. Credit where it's due though, I did like how the second part ended. Everyone who is introduced in the first part survives, everyone meets face to face and are all friends. That warmed my cold black heart. |

Yes it took a retarded turn when the first villain was not even a villain and actually tried to make him a likable guy... I respect your opinion too, it's just I can't hide how dissapointed I was with what the main plot-points changed to during the Second Arc. While incest can be interesting sometimes, I enjoyed Oreimo, I just thought it wasn't relevant to what Sword Art Online was going for. To me, the show was starting with the main points being of life/death (survival) and reality/virtuality. Incest just didn't have a part in this type of a serious story, if you asked me - especially since Kirito's cousin was acting rude considering what he had gone through before. Another thing I didn't mention, actually, I don't understand why Kirito (and the other players) were acting extremely serious in Alfheim online. There wasn't any death consequences, and the way they acted seemed past the level of RPing if you ask me~ But ya, all to his own~! :) |

| Personally, I liked both cours equally |
| I liked second cour a bit more than first too. First cour kind of ruined its' potential for greatness. 100 floors, stuck in a video game sounded pretty damn awesome at first, but with the crazy timeskips, it really ruined the plot and flow IMHO. Second cour actually had a direction and it stuck with it. It didn't have that much potential in the first place but used all of it, which is what first cour couldn't achieve. Plus, first cour's forced romance was annoying to watch. :| Zeaf said: Litrydow said: That's odd. I think they're both shit. ^ Second that (Except first three episode :p ) ^ |
| Gonna have to say that the series is just shy of being part of my top ten because of the second half. It seemed like they just wanted to force an evil villain on us instead of one who was just creating his perfect world, succeeding at it as well. That was really all that the second half seemed to serve, other than meeting Kirito's cousin. I didn't mind her character but I can't say that she was that good of a character, she is one of the characters who is hated for stupid reasons so yeah. And the only parts of the first half that really made it worth while for me were the parts where Kirito and Asuna were living together as a married couple, it shows them as a more realistic couple who actually loves each other, which isn't something that most series do. The second half was worst than the first half in my opinion, but I didn't think that the second half was bad, it just made the series a little bit less realistic. |

I really don't like SAO but I agree that Suguha 'saved' the show in a way. She at least was a well rounded character, with actual emotions and feelings unlike the rest of them. |
