I'd prefer high quality instead.

Just like how HOTD was popular back then, people are hyped to watch it because it has "somehow" created some noise, and I have to admit the way it was drawn was just smooth and well.

Same reason why High School of the Dead, Steins;Gate, Code Geass and some other few high rated is popular.

It is absolutely mind blowing.

Or people are just fans of the LN and liked it too. Of course its only 10 episodes, so it generally will go down or go up hill depending how its done in the next 15 episodes.


Exactly as Kairen has it, SAO is just MIND BLOWING!! it's just so good and it is definitely one my favourites.

I guess I like it because I feel the story was only used one other time as far as I know (Gerald Butler's GAMER movie)

I find it fresh, but the show does seem to be rushed for the first 8 episodes. I feel its getting better, hopefully it's not just dangling candy in my face just to pull the string and make it so I cant reach it. I had that happen to me countless times in the media.

How can a book be extremely high budget? Are the pages made out of gold leaf instead of paper???

popularity makes it a high budget.
Example: Harry Potter, they used armoured vehicle to deliver the book contents ...

Ok, let's get serious for once. Why is it popular? Because never has an anime been this efficient in attracting real life losers.
RLLA, aka real life losers attractomer:
Anime: 0%> 15%
Game, MMO, VRMMO, you can't escape from it: 15% > 75%
MC is what most who play MMOs want to be, the strongest, the coolest, a lone wolf: 75% > 120%
Gets girls, many girls: 120% > 170%
As you can see it's already over the limit, I'm pretty sure I forgot about a lot of things though.

It's awesome and the story, the characters and setting are amazing. And it's easily one of the best animes this year.

I think you are making massive generalisations tbh. There are plenty of people who play MMO's who are not losers and think that it is very nieve to assume that everyone who likes this is a loser. Do you play MMO's? have you had experience with people who play MMO's. I hate these generalisations.

I like both anime and MMO's ( hence why i am enjoying this anime). I have a gf ( incidentally she likes blokes who have a geeky side as they tend to be genuine and nicer than brain-dead lads who work for say an investment bank), i play a lot of sports, ( almost getting into the east of england hcokey squad, playing for my county and university, and playing for almost all my school teams). I went to university and got a degree in Politics and international relations, and i now have a decent job ( albeit doing something im not too comfy with, but hell we all gota each right), I go to the gym 4 times a week and go out with my mates on a regular basis. Oh and did i mention i also build computers and want to set up my own business doing just that. I am a geek, and am proud of it but i sure as hell aint a loser, and i think you will find that there are a lot of people who play MMO's who are exactly the same, have multiple hobbies, passions and are perfectly capable irl. But we all need an escape, its nice to disconnect from reality sometimes.

Also being the strongest, the coolest, and getting loads of girls is something that pretty much every male wants regardless of whether they play MMO's or watch anime.

I think we have a TROLOLOLOL in our midst

You forgot:

"I NEED MORE POWER." "Kirito, one sword isn't working!" "What if I tried, TWO SWORDS!?" "AWWWW YEEEEEEAH!" 170% ------> one million %

"MY HEALTH IS IN CRITICAL!" "What if I, HEALED YOU AT THE LAST SECOND!?" "AWWWWWWW fawkyus!" one million % ------> gg %

Although I wouldn't go as far as to say SAO, or an MMO, or any other specific interest, makes someone a loser. That and I don't even know what you mean by loser, since the definition is kind of shady.

I thought I was watching some Olympics commercial during that scene with the higher faster stronger blade swinging.

And also:

"Do I have to use THAT?"

Always have a trump card hidden. People love trump cards.
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.

If you say that, then most of the world population who have gone to cinema are all losers cause they fail at life (lmao).
And people who watch starwar, lord of the rings, mission impossible are all fail at life (nice logic)
Anime isn't different from Hollywood movies much, they are a way to entertain us, viewers/audience.

Dude, are you thinking of yourself when wrote your post?

That's actually a perfect way of describing it, haha.

With all the sex talk surrounding the last episode, I can't help but think someone should make a parody/hentai reusing lines such as "do I have to use THAT" with sexual connotations. Would watch.

I agree, does having a certain hobby make anyone a loser? I could say (and I'm sure at least one person like this exists)

"I f**king hate sports, the only kind of people who play sports are total losers."

makes as much sense to me honestly.

Person who calls people losers are a real loser, cause he has a hard life, therefore he comforts his own satisfaction by looking down on people.

With the amount of hentai out there, I would bet that something like that has already been made.
