Other reviews may top it, but it won't get significantly lower in the actual percentage of people who find it helpful. Just sayin', I don't think anyone who significantly dislikes the show would mark my review unhelpful.

Survival is a better story than what SAO has done so far. HotD creates suspense. SAO doesn't.

I'm sure I'll see Seikon no Qwaser one day.

Okay.

I didn't. I made on offhand comment about it, but my review is solely for the anime.

Are guys more sex-driven than girls? Yes. While I don't agree with "stereotyping" in general, stereotypes do exist for a reason. But that doesn't mean guys don't care about relationships at all and are only in it for the sex. Some do, and that's where the stereotype comes from, but acting like they're all that way is an insult to the plenty out there who aren't. Thus, I call sexism.

Well, I already made the Twilight comparison, so yeah. At the end of the day, every form of entertainment is going to have some kind of wish-fulfillment. That and escapism are the entire point of entertainment. Again, it's all in the portrayal. Stuff like SAO and Twilight are just blatant wish-fulfillments that don't care for things like character development and well-written plots but still take themselves completely seriously. That's why they're trash. They only exist to fulfill the desires of the their audiences.

And, uh, I know how to check the ratings. Thanks.

So basically what you're saying is that since you disagree with my review, it must be only "my opinion" and has no objective quality whatsoever. You are arrogant and self-righteous. You are free to disagree with me and like SAO as you please, but as I've said, people see things differently. As awesome as the idea of an "objective review" sounds, complete objectivity is impossible; your personal opinion will come through in one way or another.

I won't tell you to stop liking SAO, but I will describe the multitude of problems the anime has that contribute to my belief that it is shit.

I don't think the author believes so literally that "this is what happens when boys are deprived for a few days." It's the idea that an authors beliefs come out in his/her works, usually metaphorically. This might mean that she thinks most boys only really care about sex.

But I think you went a little overboard on that comparison.

SAO's popularity is a large part of why I compared it to Twilight. At the end of the day it's just a trashy wish-fulfillment, but it gained mass popularity despite that. But popularity is not quality. I feel like you are less complaining about my review and more wondering why so many people marked it helpful despite the series having such a high score. The world may never know.

P.S. Medaka Box is pretty crappy anyway.

I like HotD because it's over-the-top ridiculous and hilarious. No, it doesn't have a well-executed plot, but it doesn't try to.

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say in a lot of this (and it's "exaggerate"). But as far as what looks important, no, I don't like women being looked down on (as I shouldn't, and neither should you), but it all depends on the portrayal. I'm not easily offended, so when something is intentionally silly (like HotD), I just let it run.

And just to go back to your belief that I think women > men, here's some food for thought: you want to know what I think is the worst episode of anime I've ever seen? It's not from SAO, but it is an episode you've seen: Maid-Sama! episode 22. Why do I hate this episode so? Because of (you guessed it) its sexism, but most of which is against the boys. Read this post on it. Boys become mindless, sex-craving zombies after a few days of hard work? I don't know how a guy can watch this and not be offended. I was offended not only for that and the other things mentioned in that topic, but because the manga has a female author and it's from a female perspective, so it is supposedly the female perspective on boys (and just look at how many people found the whole thing funny), which I most definitely do not share.

tl;dr, I do not believe in women > men, I believe in women = men.

Not sure you know what you're saying.

For the record, I said SAO might be worse than Green Green (because GG is otherwise the worst anime I've ever seen, and I only said SAO might be the worst I've ever seen. It's hard to be worse than Green Green). I dislike it for all the reasons I mentioned in my review, which I'm quite sure you're familiar with. In extremely simple (and nice) terms, it has poor characterization and a weakly-executed plot.

Here's what I said to the last person who called me a feminist. You haven't had quite the same argument, but the idea is the same, so:

Find even a single line I've typed that suggests I think women are inherently better than men. I dare you.
