The very awaited third season of SAO is going to air this Fall, and many people said it will be probably the best arc of the series. Are you looking forward it? Do you disliked the other seasons, but have hopes in this one? Do you think is going to be a disaster? Or are you going to bash it like you did before? Give your response here and discuss.

I'm not. Matter of fact, I have't watched any SAO since the first season ended. Now I've forgotten 90% of the characters and am too lazy to pick it up again

Can't wait to binge it once it's finished airing. SAO alternative was a good watch too.

Yup yup. I'm debating on waiting a good while for it to finish airing or to watch it weekly, but outside of that I'm totally ready.

I read the first volume of the LNs of this arc and it did legit seem more intriguing than any of the arcs before it, but I guess time will tell if that can be adapted into motion. It's a lot slower than the other arcs and things don't move so fast, but I actually really appreciated that about it. At least the first volume, I don't know where it goes from there.

The first two seasons were good enough to look forward to it.

If what you mean by 'hyped' is 'can't wait to pretend watching the show and giving it a 1" then maybe No. Or maybe Yes?

I'm quite interested. I'm probably one of the few people who don't hate SAO with a burning passion despite having quite a few flaws (don't get me started on the Fairy Dance arc) and looking forward to this, since it's been described as the best part of the series. I also read parts of the light novel a couple of years back, and it definitely seems interesting.

I'm curious if it can at least be better than, relatively-speaking, SAO's best arc, Mother's Rosario. I probably won't complete it though. I finish on average around 2-3 shows per season and the ones I'm anticipating are Tsurune, Zombieland Saga, Jingai-san no Yome, and Akanesasu Shoujo.

In terms of vocal online presence, the detractors of SAO outnumber its fans and its detractors are mostly Westerners.

Hating on SAO is not a shortcut to getting acknowledged as having good taste anymore. Find a new angle.

Top rated and top seller doesnt meant it has a something better to offer than a simple fanservice or 12 y/o imagination with a gary stu characters holding dual blade and getting waifu.
and thats not even an exaggeration...

Its certainly not overrated, because review and reception says the otherwise.

Simply if you put anything into mainstream and let the fans do their job spreading this "Good shit", it'll became popular like the glorified Isekais with MMO theme, dont forget to sugar coat it with "OP MC" and "Harem".

Thats all it takes to make a good attraction for mainstream anime fans.

I am certainly not hyped but i'll watch it by skimming the shit out of it.

It wasnt only western side in Asia alone SAO were very Popular.

Most of fan entries here were from SAO or something similiar,
and when you said they havent seen good stuff, its likely because the genre preference will be likely also something similiar to SAO, hence Isekai/MMO/Harem/Ecchi it is.

Then again good stuff rarely got recommendation and even if they did recommend it, they probably dislike the genre

Japan actually loves OP main characters in general (no hate on them) ..but their are shows who do better in general in it's aspects, OPM is a better OP MC , overlord is good too cause they make sense they don't do out of extra original stuff.... And about Charlotte is actually good but the ending was rushed it should have been more 3 eps in my opinion..

I don't know if I'd say "hyped" but I'm planning to watch it and I hear *supposedly* it's going to be better than the previous seasons. I guess you could say I'm looking forward to/intrigued by it. Hyped is probably too strong of phrase though, for me at least.

No I'm not looking forward to it. Am I going to watch it? As a franchise completionist, yes and that's really the only reason.

I disliked all of the seasons except Gun Gale Online which I found meh.

I don't have hopes of it being better despite what people might claim
