Splitter said: Paul said: Ga Rei Zero Every Ga Rei Fan: "Wtf is this?" Same holds true for non-Ga Rei fans, who saw this and thought: Yep, that was my reaction at the end. And, I agree with OP on Now and Then, Here and There had a misleading first episode. It was also Madoka for me, since I started it without any background knowledge. For the first three episodes, I just thought it was a typical magical girl anime. |

| Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu. I had no idea what was going on the first time I watched it. |
 |
| Shadow Star Narutaru. Maybe Madoka if you didn't know who Urobuchi was. |
| If you watch the English DVDs of Haruhi, the first episode was the movie they made for the festival. I literally had to double take and make sure i was watching the right show when that came up. Also Shiki was slightly misleading in its first episode. I thought that pink haired girl was going to be the MC. Then she died. SAO was slightly misleading since the first episode centered on all the levels, but the majority of the series so far has been side stories and fillers. |

| The Tower of Druaga: The Aegis of Uruk. That first episode was just one big joke. |
Candor said: But you're acting as if it's detracting from the show when the only ass shots so far was from one ep, and the only boob grab lasted 5 seconds. It's not as if those moments happened while they were fighting someone and the baddie just up and grabbed Asuna's tits, or the camera focusing on a chicks ass after falling down in a clumsy way where they're bent over like in Ecchis.Yvese said: When I want boob grabbing or ass shots then there's hentai to watch, or at least ecchi. I was expecting some decent action and decent plot in this show, all we got was some girls hitting on the MC and nothing else interesting, except for the first episode, which was misleading, and that's what this topic is about. Anyway, as I said I hope things will get better in the next few episodes, since it's the main plot-line.Candor said: Because a 5 second boob grab and 2-3 ass shots are bad.Mikasa said: Sword Art Online...made me think I was gonna have another 10/10 show JavierR said: SAO definitely I was planning to watch today's episode before posting here (since they said the main story line appears in this episode), but after watching it I agree more, SAO has the most misleading first episode ever.

Your post would be valid if you mentioned in your first post how it's misleading because most of the eps so far have been side stories and not the main plot. No, instead you mention ass shots, boob grabs, and girls crying over the MC. Why highlight something so insignificant? Not everyone here is watching SAO, so the only thing misleading is your post. For all we know some poor sap read your post and assumed it would be full of fanservice. I'd expect a healthy heterosexual guy to be screaming with joy seeing the hero grabbing the heroines tits. Shit like that mostly only happens in doujins unless it's Ecchi/Harem. It's good for the author to service the fans ( As seen by the boatload of Asuna fanpics since the show started ) |

So, the impression the first episode gave was different in the next 7 episodes, I guess that's what misleading is, isn't it? People who are complaining about the excess fan-service are not gays, they're people who were impressed by the first episode and were disappointed with the next 7 episodes (2 months), there's no need to get overreacted. Well thank god I didn't pick SAO up. I actually find the plot quite interesting from the anime summary. But recently too many people have complained about SAO being shit and all. So in the end I didn't even bother watching it. Also, I would rather have plot than unnecessary fan service which annoys the shit out of me sometimes. |

When exactly is fanservice necessary, btw? Should we just cut out normal IRL routines like showers, sleeping in underwear ( or pajamas ), and even bikinis? I guess those aren't supposed to exist outside of the real world unless it's made explicitly as fap material. Something so innocent as a camera shot from behind a woman is so bad, yet cutting things up 'FUCK YEA' style is totally awesome. This is the kind of crap that's wrong with society nowadays. Violence in shows/movies/games? Who gives a shit. Boobs, ass, and woman? Dafuq brah where's my manly shit?

This is the same problem i have with some shows i loved such as clannad who has a infuriating fanbase. Just please keep your fanboy pride to yourself |

Candor said: well......that sounds awful, i also hear from a friend who read through the VN that the MC is overpowered as fuck for absolutely no reason other than hes the MC.Necro-sama said: So that Yvese stop being butt-hurt, the last 7 episodes were as following: 6 were side-stories about girls hitting the MC (and one mystery case, but there was also some service for the fans), and today's episode was the beginning of the main story-line, half of it was that the MC got some rare food and the other MC (girl) cooked it, the 2nd half was a duel and going to a monster's lair and the episode ended with a cliffhanger. You could ask again about this show when it finishes airing, but it's definitely not worth checking right now, wait until it ends and ask after that if it got better or it didn't, after that you can decide what to do.Candor said: I guess lots of people aren't healthy heterosexual people around these forums, I apologize for being one then, I should go discover my true self and take some people with me from these forums, would anyone like to join? *sigh* Repeating is useful, so I guess I'll repeat what I said in my 2nd post: I was looking for some decent action and decent plot, 8 episodes passed (2 months) and all we got was some ass-shots, some un-necessary fan-service, and girls hitting on the MC.

Fan-service in that show is awesome, fan-service in SAO is awful. It's just my opinion though, and some other people around these forums. |

| Madoka Magica for the first few episodes. I remember expecting it to be this light fluffy magical girl anime (that was kind of sucky at that) and nearly dropped it, but then something interesting happened by the third episode and saved it from being dropped. |

Candor said: I havn't read the novel, but I'm pretty sure it has sex in it going by what I've read on the SAO section and on wikis. The anime is much more tame, so you saying SAO is supposed to be 'more serious' has some merit, but the author does intend for there to be fanservice if the characters have sex in it.Yvese said: My problem is not with the fan-service itself. SAO is supposed to be a romance/action anime that is more serious than comedy, when people (who are complaining about fan-service) watch SAO they expect some plot, some seriousness. In that mystery case the characters were talking about something serious then you see an ass in your face, the same thing in Asuna's case, somehow. In that loli's episode they were supposed to save something, but some tentacles appear and fan-service starts. SAO is supposed to be serious, Binbou is comedy, there's a huge difference between the genres and the fan-service in these 2 shows.Candor said: Why is it awful though? Just curious. It's all harmless fanservice that happens naturally in the show. None of those screenshots you linked were forced scenarios. The only 'forced' scenario was the boob grab in ep 8. That's it.

Fan-service in that show is awesome, fan-service in SAO is awful. It's just my opinion though, and some other people around these forums. Is SAO more serious than bimbou? Of course, but it really doesn't matter whether it's more serious or not if the fanservice was already intended by the author. IE the boob grab in ep 8 was also in the novel according to the episode thread in the SAO section. Not sure about the lolis and the tentacles, but the rest were just conveniently ( and smartly :D ) placed camera shots. Basically, consider fanservice canon and not something added on. I see it as the anime making up for the things they took out. Let's be honest though. The second pic in this screenshot really didn't matter where the camera was placed since the chick was wearing tight ass pants. It wouldn't have mattered where the camera was since the viewers would have already focused on her ass since it's already emphasized with her tight pants and curvy figure. |

Well it was misleading for a couple of episodes until shit started hitting the fan around the middle. this! a friend convinced me on watching the first and then the last ep of school days and when i did i was like.. ''the heck is going on?!?!'' so i went back to watch all the eps and find out how such a cute and innocent anime start turned into the biggest wtf?! i've ever experienced in my whole otaku life xD |
 |
| Steins;Gate It starts off like an average day kind of anime. Like slice of life then all of a sudden shit hits the fan. Haruhi Suzumiya. Felt like it was starting off with a slice of life high-school type anime once again with just a bunch of "colorful" characters and man did it surprise the hell out of me.(Watched in chronological order.) And guiyzz let's stop the fighting! How about we all just read Moonlight Sculptor instead! :D |
