What kind of shit did you watch for you to say something that absurd?


I believe I've never watched an anime that is a shit. I said it because I like SAO. I don't think any opinion is absurd.


No anime is Shit, People put time and lots of effort to draw each frame and edit it. If you guys have seen how many steps it take to complete 1 episode, you better appreciate the work they have put in.

It's cool to not like it, but saying an anime is shit is unacceptable.

Wow this is one the rare moments when i heard someone berating Code Geass and Lelouch. Some people just can't understand masterpieces too bad for them.

Back on the topic...........SAO is a good anime in my opinion and its large fanbase is because of the LN but the anime is good too. Don't compare this to shit like Justin or Twilight (sorry fan girls but its the truth) its way better. Also calling COD shit is insulting to us gamers if you don't like games fine don't berate them for stupid reasons. As usual haters gonna hate cuz they have nothing better to do. But that won't make SAO any less awesome.

Sword Art Online have received its hype before it even came out, and it spreads like a virus like any other popular thing that have gone "viral".

From what I gathered, the reason is pretty simple. It was admired by its light novel fans as the best MMORPG-related story (there really isn't any other competition). I remember when there wasn't even word of an adaptation and heard it had one of the most interesting stories to come out.

MMORPG fans will generally like it, I think, since it has just the right amount of maturity. Not too childish, but not too serious either. It doesn't need to be exceptional to fill the hype, it just need to be decent. And a bunch of anime fans happen to play MMOs as well, so that eased the process even more.

You call an anime shit just because you don't like it? Is that what you judge an anime?
And for what reason do you watch anime by the way?

They are anime, they are in the same category as Japanese animation, not some stupid America, marvels cartoons. And you watch them, you watch what you've just called "shit", really, why are you watching anime then?

Personally I'm just here to have fun, I might bash SAO here and there but it's just a joke I get out of some butthurt people. I actually am starting to like it again since episode 8 came out. While it still does not deserve the hype( at least not yet), SAO fanboys are actually nice, and not annoying like Narutards, Onetards or Fatetards :P I like them xD

Possibly the best fandom of an overrated series which is why I don't mind them at all and hope the series will continue to be better

Sadly, this.
Add World of Warcraft to that list as well....people these days seem to have an allergy against intelligence.


Glad to see that some people here still have standards.


Just because you enjoy grimdark anime, don't even try to think that your taste is much superior to anyone. Hating SAO because they were too mainstream? congratulation, you just become a hypocrite by also humiliating yourself by fanboying yourself to DN and Geass. Hating SAO because they were too happy two-goody and no grimdark moment? more hypocritical argument because SHNY got no grimdark shit you loved.

Seriously, you grimdark animu lover needs to chill yo tits and watch anime with open minded awareness. Give this series a try and open your close minded of grimdark emo perspective, that should makes you enjoy more of anime without getting that grimdark emo perspective blocking your sense of enjoyment in watching anime.

And no offense intended about the anime i mentioned earlier, SHNY is one of my all time favorite, same goes with S;G.


Everything that is not rated on my list is bad and bellow 8. Code Geass was mediocre at best.
What's SHNY? Haruhi? It was also bad, the movie, however was great.

And yes, i dont think i'll watch a single anime show this year anymore, unlike most of you, i hate watching shows which are dull and simplistic.
Now, i'm not saying you all should stop watching this show, but, i'm simply implying that it's bad.


Code Geass was Medicore at best? Yeah nvm, gonna ignore you from now on. I suppose Little girls fighting with magic amuses you more than Mecha and World Domination.


Are you fucking kidding me?
This is one of the most ignorant posts I've seen today.
>Oh he doesn't like a shitty fanservice show with plotholes
>He must be a lolicon mahou shoujo lover
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.

Reality check: hard work doesn't mean anything if it doesn't produce results. By making the anime, the studio is putting itself forward to be judged. If what they made is bad then viewers have the right to call it shit.
