Sword Art Online (light novel)
raduccio said: How about nooee. If that's what you think, why did you watch the whole season? Even now, after you watched it, you keep wasting your time talking about it. Don't you have anything better to do? |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| I feel sorry for you guys... honestly.. Don't worry though, more seasons of SAO are yet to come so you'll have something to watch and complain about form many years. |
Oxy said: Jesus. Some of you shitforbrains need to lay off SAO. I mean it's not the worst anime on here, and yet you treat it like it's the worst creation of mankind. Sure it's popular and people like it, but that it's popularity has already started to fall. PLus, who cares if someone has different tastes than you? If you want to cry about the same shit for eternity go to 4chan, they'll gladly accept you. This felt very wise. |

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 |
Post-Josh said: That SAO is bad needs no justification, it's just an unequivocal fact of life. SAO is objectively terrible. |

Takuan_Soho said: That doesn't make sense. I post in these threads when I come across them because, for now, it's fun to pretend to be a "hater" who fulfill the fanboys wishes of using illogical arguments. It's as simple as that. I don't care if anyone/everyone knows my actual serious opinion on SAO, and in fact I don't think I've ever posted it.Ah, but you are serious. It is obvious to everyone but yourselves. People who are not serious would have been bored by now, but that you are compelled to post shows just how serious you take this. JackRives said: Even though you said this, you don't seem to understand it. It's quite possible that some people are only entertained by compelling plots, well developed characters, use of symbolism, etc. In other words, considering and dissecting anime as "the absolute art form" is a perfectly legitimate way to get enjoyment from it. You all seem so keen on putting anime on a pedestal and consider it the absolute art form, that you forget maybe the most important thing: it's entertainment. It's supposed to entertain you. Whatever that "entertainment" might be for you, that's in the eye of the beholder. |

| I do it several times a day because I browse the forums several times a day, lol. MAL is a small forum, I don't need to go out of my way to see almost everything. Hardly an obsession. If the fanboys are having fun too then that's awesome, we're all having fun. I don't know what to say about that second bit. I guess I'll let you believe what you will. |

| There are those who love the series, and those who dislike the series. Those who dislike the series start nitpicking flaws to back up their bullshit. But if you start nitpicking in any series, you'll generate enough reasons to berate every series. But everyone here would have to unanimously face it - SAO is the most discussed series this year if not for the past 10 years. Had it been truly 'overrated', no one would bother even talking about it. (unless the act of overrating is actually perceived by many as viable reason to spend half of their pathetic lives complaining about it) |

If you want a serious answer to your question. I kept watching SAO because of the same kind of curiosity that made you watch the 2 seasons of Gantz even though you disliked them. And I complain about this anime on this thread, because I think it's fun! |

NettoAzure said: "All new anime sucks, it's all about some never heard of anime that I can be hipster about anyways." He said I'm starting to dislike the show a little. We liked it because of the characters, setting, and execution. Going out and overpraising something of course is gonna make you want to balance that out. Ever since ALO I new sword art was another run-of-the-mill really good anime that I might rewatch. Shows that deserve praise for being smart. Death Note, Code Geass, FMA and all that stuff don't get people slowly disliking it from overpraise... because it gets the right amount. |

| 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. |
| nooooooo......this can't BE! Sword Art Online is catching up to Madoka in the number amount of favorites. 7128 vs. 7143 |
| Naruto(both),Fairy Tail and Bleach are in the top 20. Madoka(and other better anime) loses to other shows that are as bad as SAO(or even worse some times). But at least SAO is 25 eps. |

So what makes The Hate stronger with Group 2 *in comparison* to Group 1? |

So what makes The Hate stronger with Group 2 *in comparison* to Group 1? Naruto & Bleach had been airing for a long time... hence the accumulation of hate(criticism). The cause of hate in SAO is because there's some serious plot holes in the series, from my perspective. |

So what makes The Hate stronger with Group 2 *in comparison* to Group 1? Because series in group 2 contradict their theming and - unlike some series in group 1 - feature way worse writing and in general poor execution. However, your grouping is awkward. Madoka and Doctor Who are the only ones I would give credit for when it comes down to good writing/storytelling general. Code Geass (especially R2) is just as shitty as group 2, Death Note's second half is really bad, Clannad (like most Key works) is forced drama that uses REALLY cheap devices to get the tears flow, etc. The Monogatari franchises good fcactor does not lie in its unique story or character design, but rather in Nisio's style of writing. It has much more harem elements than SAO and the fanservice is blatant at times, as well. However, the over-the-top and semi-ironic approach Nisio has in rgeards to those archetypes, combined with has puns and - I admit that - otaku-pandering references makes it interesting. |

Hell, I'm a HUGE Final Fantasy fan and even I think FFVII is a wee bit overrated. Although, if we're comparing FFVII to new age RPGs, FFVII is a god damn masterpiece in regards to storytelling...although, that's more of a statement at just how bad RPGs have been lately and not how great FFVII is. |

Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| ok heres an update, Sword Art Online 7147 favorites, Madoka 7149 favorites. Rising pretty fast. Looks like Sword Art Online gonna win this round looooooool |
TheTaker said: It's just a popularity "rating".No big deal.Some give up on Madoka simply due to the art or the chars being girls.Nothing to do with the story.ok heres an update, Sword Art Online 7147 favorites, Madoka 7149 favorites. Rising pretty fast. Looks like Sword Art Online gonna win this round looooooool |
| LOL SAO sure is popular then cause it just passed Madoka with 7150 favorites vs. 7149 favorites. It was a close race. Both my favorite animes, well done both, now let's shake hands! |

I don't understand. SAO is entertaining but it has too many plot holes, a serious lack in world building, and mediocre plot to be top tier. |
