Sword Art Online (light novel)
| Sao 3 has nobody speaking on it as I've seen. Is it as hated as other seasons or is it loved, is it seen as a redeeming season or has this series just died? |
| recency bias affects many popular anime anyway so not just SAO especially that there are many new anime airing each season so ye recency bias strikes |
| sao alicization were the best parts of sao for me, though it got alot worse in wou imo |
| would have been better as a seperate story from sao . but reki doesnt sell anything unless sao is on the cover. improved his writing in some aspects. fucked over some other. the anime litterally forgets to explain kiritos new imagination power. wich makes it look more stupid then it already is. how do you forget that ?? 4/10 over all . i think its enjoyable but not good also had some really terrible fanservice . leafa letting herself get tentacled for no reason with a bullshit excuse just to one shot that thing as soon as the fanservice scene is over. so stupid |
| There are maybe two moments I don't like but I think it's the strongest season, personally. From what I've seen on MAL, it was better received than the other two seasons. |
  |
| Sequels have less hate because they get given up for good if the first season was bad. It's obvious. If someone disliked the first season or even dropped it, why in the hell would they want to watch the 3rd? |

Nemo_Niemand said: If someone disliked the first season or even dropped it, why in the hell would they want to watch the 3rd? Some people are like that; they cannot drop an anime no matter how much they dislike it. 'Completionists', they are called. Maybe OCD-related...I dunno. |
|
| I think most people besides the SAO fanbase have moved on, though I still see a handful of "SAO is worse than Hitler" posters here and there. Personally, I lost interest in the series after three seasons that ended up underwhelming me each in their own way, the last part of the third season is there but I just can't be bothered to continue with it, might as well just watch the Progressive anime when it comes out since I liked the manga at least. |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |
| sao? get with the times grandpa, AoT is the new thing in cool |

| It was the worst season of SAO which is saying a lot |

*shrugs* The only time I got bored was when they focused on the center outside of the game...but...okay. Can't really say anything else to that...if you are bored, you are bored. |
|
| What I'm getting from OP is that SAO has to be hated to be relevant. |

| i thought acilization wasn't as bad as that horrid second season. but damn. their streak on the rapey parts for each season NEVER ends. |

| Definitely not an SAO fanboy because I thought SAO and SAO II were flat trash, but Alicization is definitely a step up. It's actually a pretty big improvement imo but for most people who hate the guts of SAO, it should still not be AS BAD |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| I can only speak for myself, I like the setting and the simple plot, but I am impressed by the fight scenes, they hype the integrity knights so much yet they're very easy to beat. I dislike the character designs, only alice looks ok, the rest is sub par (per my taste of course). It's a bit better than SAO2 but Aincrad is still my favorite |
    |
| SAO is still pretty popular though I imagine a lot of the haters dropped the series by now unless they are masochists. |

Kenzolo-folk said: their streak on the rapey parts for each season NEVER ends. That's the worst part of the franchise and I can't defend it. Which is why I like the movie Ordinal Scale so much; not only is there a lack of that, the antagonist is actually sympathetic. |
|
| Alicization was the best SAO so far and was really enjoyable. Atleast Kirito was not overpowered in it |
 |
| Hi again DBZ, it’s mostly that it’s faded into irrelevancy, it’s got 4 season now, not 3 (because Alicization and War of the Underworld are separate seasons). The plot is dragged to such absurdity that it’s pointless to hate on it because they just keep pumping more and more seasons that only the fans (idk how the show has fans) are excitedly watching it. For everyone else, it’s a long dead argument about “SAO being good”, nobody cares enough to watch it hoping to see some improvement in quality (there isn’t any) Simply said, only the fans watch it and they don’t talk much about it so it’s pretty irrelevant for everybody else (outside meme community because that shit can be milked for memes) |

| bruh sao alicization (take WOU and throw it out of the picture) is my favorite season, I love it so much. |
 |
| I mean everyone hated SAO 2 that they stopped continuing the series so there’s that, but I think Alicization gets Demon Slayer- type praise. |
 |
| SAO 3 was a great season for me. Expect for Sword Art Online: Alicization – War of Underworld 2nd season, that kind of was a downfall. It had too many cringed moments compared to few great moment. As long as animation quality is good ( from what I saw SAO 3 had better animation), I don't think people would have much hate (other than usual SAO hate). |

  Click for a anime mashup! Still not gone bandwagon u, keep crying. Here u are welcome to CRINGE at my EXISTENCE |
|
| Well I think it'd still be rather popular, like maybe the hate will make it even more popular. One thing for sure now is I probably won't bother follow the story of later SAO seasons from now on. I gave it 47 episodes of chance, and I got a stinky pile of trash. Cute boy Eugeo is gone forever anyway so no eye candy of some BL element anymore, so what's left is another awful story /characters/ villians. |
| SAO 3 gets hated because of its previous seasons. People think 3 is as bad as the previous two. But for me, SAO 3 is the best season of SAO, better than its prequels as well as its sequels. |

| Every SAO season sucks ass and it has always been shit in my opinion, the fact that it has started getting hate makes me very happy |
 |
| SAO lost its relevancy from the moment that Kuradeel died. If only Kirito would not have plot armor, Kuradeel would've replaced him as the protagonist and the anime could have been amazing. |

I think it would have been better if Kuradeel stabbed Kirito to death instead, and then Godfrey stabs Kuradeel, and that he becomes the main character |

That could have been such a dramatic moment and they didn't do it. Shame on the creator for missing out on such an amazing story opportunity. |

Chiibi said: Tendo_GM said: because I only gave facts "Facts"....lol, head's preeeetty far up that butt, huh? :D Meh, I don't want to; I'm tired of this argument so someone else can do it. But selecting one of the most MINOR characters who barely does anything is really grasping at straws, bruh. Is it? If he was there since season 1 and is always present when Kirito calls the squad, he is a close friend of Kirito and yet the viewers don’t know anything about him. Do you get it? The show that had season and season to develop a character, that is pretty important to the MC, made him into a tree in the background. It’s just sad. There are characters in other episodic anime that are present for only 1 episode, 23 minutes, and have deeper and more complex character and personalities than all of SAO’s cast combined. |

| I watched the alicization and the story just don't interest me at all.. Not to mention very illogical, why is kirito has to be the center of all that is also wtf I didn't even bother to watch the underworld part, I just don't found any reason to continue the series anymore. same cringe formula over and over. I bet the underworld is the same, with lots of friendship in data form proly |
ShinAn said: where is the part of it being illogical when the anime have you bunch of information in the early episodes. And he is the MC of course. I watched the alicization and the story just don't interest me at all.. Not to mention very illogical, why is kirito has to be the center of all that is also wtf I didn't even bother to watch the underworld part, I just don't found any reason to continue the series anymore. same cringe formula over and over. I bet the underworld is the same, with lots of friendship in data form proly The repetitive of story is nowhere to be found on the arc. Its simply not your thing. Without spoilers its war of course your friends are present like other anime. |

| I'm really not a fan of SAO, but what I'm sure is that it has 100 times better characters than Death Parade. At least SAO's characters aren't completely dumb or autistic and they have believable reactions. |
| Nope.It's just haters have moved on to other anime to hate. (Jujutsu Kaisen) |

I've seen mostly love for JJK lol, I could see why the elitists hate it though. I thought they'd do more with the main character, but that's neither here nor there. Not gonna start a JJK argument on an SAO thread |
| Alicization was the best part of Sword art Online. May have some spoilers ahead, so read at your own risk. -Best girl here -Best fights here -Good emotional scenes here -Huge world building here -Actually enjoyable side cast But was destroyed by: -Quinella's naked body -Rape scenes -Rape scenes -Dumbest deus ex machina ever -TURN ME INTO A SWORD! -"Wtf those characters weren't dead in previous seasons?" -Harem -Lack of character development Though the real best part was War of Underworld S1 since Kirito isn't there to say a thing & it's a war scenario with good animation. Still, we have a lot of meme scenes like or Let's agree, Alicization premise is great. What fucks up everything are the characters (our previous main cast, not those new) & how things were developed. Is common knowledge that author had a big improvement in his writing here. I don't think SAO III is hated. It is just people who have a wrong view for the series since they think SAO will never be a good anime. I don't blame them, after all, SAO II is a huge mess. Hope Progressive movie will be interesting; Aincrad was a good trip. |
