Let's do it the A-1 way ! >Remove every inner dialogue >focus on important plot point without caring about pre and post development >focus on Kirito doing flashy things >pantsu of female characters >extra episode where Kirito, Alice and Eugeo go to swim no matter how illogical it is >put the whole alicization arc in a 24 episodes season >dance as they made the shittiest adaptation known to mankind Err... Let's resume. Removing inner dialogue, focusing on important points, focusing on flashy things, ecchi things, and the main character, extra episode that is crappy and doesn't makes sense, 8-9 LN volumes in a 24 episode series so about 3 episodes per volume... Yep, yep. That's about what every single LN adapted gets served. Except that most of them never get 24 episode, let alone a second season. Stop complaining, SAO doesn't have it half as bad as some other LN adapted. And that's definitely not "A-1 style". LN that didn't get served this during their anime adaptation are only the lucky one. There is a difference here. Inner dialogue are SAO's core, they ammount for about 70%-90% of every volumes and you cannot make the story without them. Yet none of that is ever present in the anime adaptation because they turned it into something that it is not. Most LN adaptation are rushed, I agree. Still it is not that common that a LN is destroyed at it's core like SAO was. I'm not talking about scenes I wish were adapted because I liked them, I'm talking about dialogue that are essential for the story to make sense not being there. Most LN are poor work of litterature (I said most, not all) but SAO is a LN that manage to stand out. Don't get me wrong, it's not even half as good as I make it sound and I am not saying that if it had been animated properly it would have been a great anime, far from that. It's simply sad to see this adaptation not only 'badly adapting' the novels but completely denature the work. |

| 24 pages already... The flame war should be exciting. |
| Can't wait! So much hype! =D |

Fai said: Rastafa21 said: To the people who have read the LN, is this upcoming arc better than the second half of the first season? If not, I'm not gonna even bother watching it. Its arguably the best story arc in the whole thing. far closer to the fist half of SAO in terms of tone. Hahaha, yeah, let's hope they include him getting "Excalibur" too. Oh god, this is going to be golden. |
| How do people get to 2000 hours when I'm already this bored? |
| Can't wait for the flame war. It's going to be a really exciting one, as for SAO, I don't care a little bit. Also, why is it called Sword Art Online II, if there are no more swords but guns? Why is Kirito a female? Why I have this sensation about overly doses of useless fanservice? Why am I crying? This is why we have bad things and you deserve it. |

As for swords Thank you for the info, I appreciate it. Fai said: Akanezora said: Why is Kirito a female?

| just finished the extra episode and it took me a while to remember the series since it has been months and like 40 animes later. This is good news i guess. I liked the series alot but im not a big enough fan to start watching the series episode by episode when it premiers. I'll just wait til it ends and go on a marathon. Hopefully It'll be worth the wait. |

Lucidbro said: I can't quite believe that some of you honestly thought that the commercially most successful series of 2013 along with Attack on titan, wouldn't receive a sequel. Regardless of your personal opinion of the show, that is an extremely naive assumption to make. They are blinded by hatred and envy. Going to go ahead and tell them now. After GGO makes mass amounts of cash, UW is next. So, get those hater boots strapped. Its going to be a great year! |

Akanezora said: KingYoshi said: They are blinded by hatred and envy. Only hatred I think. Or at least that's how is in my case. Ah, I should have said envy in relation to its popularity. Which is where most of the hatred comes from anyway. Not saying your hatred for it, but the hatred for it in general. |
|
| I'll certainly watch it, but whether or not I enjoy it depends on if it's better then the first season or not. |
 |
| Looking forward to it |
| I thought the first series was total shit but it still wasn't unbearable or anything so I will probably watch the second. Plus the inevitable attention and hype that it will get will make it hard to not watch. I have been told the 3rd novel that this season is based off of is really good so maybe it might surprise me and be a massive improvement. Although most likely not if all the same people are making it since they managed to fudge the first novel. |
| SAO fucking sucks. Wonder how bad this will be |
| Code Geass is the most fun anime of all time, objectively speaking. |

| I can see GGO having 12-13 episodes like a normal anime, 25 may be pushing it because it may become dragged out too much. As for Mother's Rosario, while I was reading it I kept saying to myself that it would make for a good movie adaptation, I'm not sure if a 12 episode adaptation would be good for it. It just seems like it would have a great setup plot wise for a movie. Below will be some minor spoilers; nothing major, just to clarify some things that people had said previously that were wrong, as well as my input on the fight scenes. |

| I feel like SAO is really DARK and PHILOSOPHICAL, the world is so DEEP and Kirito and his Black Sword its really PHILOSOPHICAL how his cloak and swords SYMBOLIZE the game. |

| Well, I can go really DEEP into how Kirito is like Guts from Berserk. They are both called "The Black Swordsman." Crazy right, the SYMBOLISM to Guts is very deeply hidden. By season 2 i think SAO will be up there with stories like Berserk, Monster, Macbeth because of the SYMBOLISM and how PHILOSOPHICAL this anime is. I can really see the immense CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT with Kirito. I mean he is the definition of an UNDERDOG. Its do DEEP how he survives in the dangerous and DARK world he's in. |

| But SAO has Sogou, who in my opinion totally beats out Griffith in terms of character development. I mean he was so DEEP the way he kept Asuna locked up, it was like the Griffith and Casca situation! I was feeling the Eclipse all over again. Thats what i love about SAO. The villains are so DEEP and PHILOSOPHICAL. Akihiko is up there with Johan Liebert. You feel bad for the villains because of their DARK past. The way SAO handles it is so enlightening. |
