Sword Art Online (light novel)
| It's not that bad, but they're are WAY better shows this season that are better than it. It's ridiculous when Binbougami-ga, Joshiraku, Horizon 2, and Kokoro Connect are lower than this. |
 |
| Please spare me horizon 2, it would be absurd if all of the show this season receive a score greater than 8.5, not only SAO. This show feels like Angel beats! It's good enough to catch everyone's attention, the contents are watchable and easy to catch up for new comers. You will need to complete for about 200+ anime show to be able to distinct what is actually great and what is good. |

And the currently airing thing shows when a new season starts, not when a show starts. The 2nd screenshot was taken before it aired; I can guarantee that. |
And this was 2 weeks before the first episode. Already #157 out of around 6000 which beat the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya that aired 6 years ago. Not saying Haruhi is good but it had 6 years worth of judgement from people who actually watched it.BloodRequiemAug 19, 2012 1:21 AM
| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |
| i have been having a discussion about this with someone awhile now and i think the show appeals to most peoples desire to escape reality rather than the shows context itself. I mean i have analyzed the actual game aspects put into the show and i have determined its pretty bare boned and generic but its the social and emotional stuff that brings the show interest. People like the idea of living and loving in a fantasy game so much they get swept into it like crazy. I give the show about a 8, the filler style episodes are not terrible and they get viewers really understanding the world there in. It builds a small supporting cast and some tragic back story for characters so its not without some substance. I think when people started episode 1 they expected a boss fight like every episode which i can admit sounds nice on paper but on film maybe not. The cliche and repetitive style of a MMO is not fun to view the constant grinding and the recolored but exact same bosses over and over.The 3 main quest types Slay X,Gather Y, Defeat Z Boss etc. There is just too much drudgery in the concept not to strip it away and add all these exaggerated emotions. People love the idea of this show more than the actual show itself is my opinion. |

BlackListHunter said: Believe me he's telling the truth. And what's your point? Before the show even aired, those who didn't know about SAO prior did not even bother opening its homepage on MAL. Those who have read the novel - did, and the overall rating was mainly composed of their votes. I was one of them, as I simply loved the LN, and having in mind Yuki Kajiura got involved, I had to give it a 10. |

| You can't judge an anime good or bad by your own judgement. What you don't find great, some people might find it great and I hate to use the word overrated SAO has an interesting concept , I think that's why people rate it so high. The first and second episode were great, but ep 3-6 were just decent. The score dropped from 8.7 to now 8.6, It reflect drop in SAO quality after the second episode. And 8.6 is still too high for SAO. Just my opinion, but SAO rating should be close to 8.0 But overall I am disappointed with the story, but will keep my hopes up for the main story. the side stories are failures for me.. That's a minus for SAO |

| Yes, way too overrated. Average action scenes. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| It got a high score right away before release is due to the deluge of Light Novel fans hyping up the series (I am also part of that, I don't deny it. Damn 9 volumes Light Novels literally kept me hooked for the week before the anime came out) See here: http://myanimelist.net/manga/21479/Sword_Art_Online Light novel is ranked 6th! 6th!!! in the Light Novel/manga rankings. The SAO Light novels (All 10 volumes) are currently selling at top 20 with half usually in the top 10, for the past few weeks and months. As for the "popular stuff" = "suck" argument, sometimes the popular stuff does deserve their popularity. So is SAO hyped? Ef yeah it is, because the fans made it that way to get people to read the light novels and see why it deserves higher rankings than some other series. Or maybe, just maybe...people are actually enjoying the series Although to be honest I also love Kokoro Connect, sadly TaichixIori willl....yeah. Edit: I believe this is the second thread asking this question. ROTFL. |

| Well if it comes from a fantasy, adventure and action genres anime like SAO, then yes. They silde showed the action scene when kirito was fighting against the dragon. A way to reduce the budget I guess lmao. |
Takana_no_HanaAug 19, 2012 5:25 AM
| I just hope that they're saving the budget for the main story. Because the first episode had all the bells and whistles with nary a still shot....and that was in Vol. 1 lawl. |

Shaduge said: so who's the bad guy? the one who says it's overrated or the one who denies it no one really. Its all about personal preference. If you ask me, imo it is an average anime so far and ive watched through episode 7. Though according to the majority its a pretty highly regarded anime based on the mal ratings. |

| A generic battle Shounen with a self-insert protagonist, a slightly above-average plot hook and a lot of clichees and pretty women being overrated on a site that is mostly populated by teenagers? NO WAY! The only thing that's missing in Stu Art Online is a Linkin Park soundtrack. |

Tarextherex said: ^says the guy who saw 15 anime SAO is a bit better than gc due to having an okay premise and some parts that aren't totally retarded but other than that, side stories or not, the series is dull and unengaging as shit. You don't even need to watch 200+ anime to know that. People who like it try too hard to like it and are usually extremely biased since they either read the novel beforehand or want to have a different opinion than "elitist hipster jerks", so it gets an extremely unnacurate rating. Of course the anime rankings can't be absolute and all, but this and many other new show are extremely overrated, people need to get over that "OCD syndrome", always thinking that what I'm watching now is the best. I think...sarcasm..he was. |

| Boy, please. The only "overrated" anime on this site are Bakemonogatari, Angel Beats and Steins;Gate. NNick said: *sarcasm* Sarcasm on the internet is like winking over the phone. Still, it was pretty obvious lol. I don't see how he didn't catch on. |

| Har~it's overrated. I'm losing some interest, but I'm expecting something good to happen to the anime. Hoping its going to happen soon too. =-= |
| Yes. Yes. My avatar is s sheep ._ . |
| I believe the concept of "overrated" comes from people that are asshurt that THIS or THAT Anime got a higher rating than the anime they themselves favor more. So in other words, screaming that something's overrated is as biased as screaming that it's the best show out there. At the end of the day, all ratings are calculated based on total votes. The votes are mostly based on the audience-type. SAO is an animated adaptation of a pretty successful light novel, so it is fair to assume that if not a major part then at least half of the show's viewer-base is composed of the LN fan-base. To put it simply, if you honestly believe the show sucks, give it a low rating, stop watching it, and go away. If you were correct, then the rating will sooner or later drop to its deserved level. If it doesn't, then you'll know that either you belong to a different audience-type, or your judgement simply sucks. As for NNick, swamp trolls are often sad degenerates. |

| Side stories are dragging the anime down, which made it a 6.3/10 for me at this point. Was a 7.2 before then. From what I read from the novel I'd give it a 7.2/10. 7 & up is a pretty good score too, but I'm hoping for it to break past a 8.5/10. LN isn't as good as people say(From what I'VE read), but it is still good. My first LN too. |

| Oh wait, I'm starting to wonder if the Fate/Stay Night & Tsukihime fans of the VNs did the exact same thing to those anime. Thinking it'll be great if they adapt it correctly based off a couple of episodes. The LN fans rating will probably go down just the same as theirs did. |

NNick said: Dont know about Fate/Stay Night, but Fate Zero (Anime) ____ SAO for breakfast. Comparing two series that have nothing in common aside from having the same composer tells volumes about how adequate and crystal clear your judgement is. Feels like people here placed seeing SAO's rating going down at the top of their agenda. Why? Butthurt? Nolifebutthurt? Told ya from the very beginning :P Continue crying rivers y'all. |

Sigh, It's pretty obvious at this point that no matter what I say you are not going to listen. |
