AiCon said: Yet you are the one who commented in the first place about how things should be addressed. You are just contradicting yourself. I made the analogy to show the difference between those groups and the category that reflects that - not how they should be addressed if you were to meet one on the street. That's just you being anal so you don't have to admit to anything. You then launch another personal attack at me. AiCon said: Yes, there is a difference between western animation and anime. I'm not arguing that. I called you a weeaboo because you were nit-picking a comment saying that "anime are cartoons", saying that it should be called separately. If you choose to act annoyingly anal about things, don't get insulted when somebody calls you out on it.Red_Keys said: If you can't tell that there's a big difference in the animation and characters portrayed in Japanese anime and Western Cartoons then you're hopeless and there's no point in continuing this anymore.AiCon said: Sorry, but who's the one being anal?dankickyou said: That may technically be true but Japanese and Western cartoons are worlds apart. It deserves it's own special category.Anime is cartoons. |

AiCon said: Those are anime that gets visibility to the fans, but there are plenty of children's anime that are not noticed, like "Maji De Otaku Na English! Ribbon-chan". Most animation, anywhere, is targeted at children. Shounen anime demographic is like 10-15. So where do you want the cutoff line to be... 13?katsucats said: Most anime wouldn't normally be aired without major censorship or cuts in West due to the violence and fanservice that's prevalent in anime.AiCon said: Most anime are aimed at kids as well.Red_Keys said: I did say mostly didn't I? And it's true that most of those cartoons are aimed at little kids. Sponge Bob, Fairy Odd Parents and a bunch of others that I don't watch, nor do I care to even look at. You have entire networks dedicated solely to airing kids shows and cartoon while none for The Simpsons, South Park or Futurama.AiCon said: I think the one who needs to get a clue is you. Western cartoons have been aimed at all age groups for a long time. Haven't you ever heard of Family Guy? No? The Simpsons? Futurama? The Boondocks? King of the Hill? Southpark? No? None ringing a bell? Well in case you didn't know, these shows are all aimed at teenage-adult audiences. And that's only the few shows I could think of off the top of my head.Red_Keys said: Get a clue. Not only is the art different, but also the target audience. Japanese target everyone while Western cartoons are mostly aimed at little kids. It there-for makes sense that they would be very different.AiCon said: Wow my eyes hurt from rolling so hard. Why don't you just do yourself a favor and move to Japan already weeaboo.dankickyou said: That may technically be true but Japanese and Western cartoons are worlds apart. It deserves it's own special category.Anime is cartoons. And even then, the art and simply the way they do things are completely different. You don't see anything like South Park normally on Japanese anime. |

aozoai said: drinkbeer said: if you don't like it then drop it. nobody is forcing you to continue watching it. Even if they have it seems some of them are very adamant on telling others why they did so. It's a stupid crusade that's for sure. If they want to point out the bads of SAO, that's fine, but they don't have the right to dictate what people can like or dislike and that doesn't have a anything to do with whose taste is better than the other. |

Gunnisberg said: I've seen better series, miles better than SAO. What's more surprising, is that the ratings just keeps getting higher I thought the MAL ratings for SAO went downhill; it used to be 8.70+ |
| What have I done?! AiCon & Red_Keys, chilax. Make a thread about cartoons if you want to debate....On second thought, please don't make that thread. |

aozoai said: drinkbeer said: if you don't like it then drop it. nobody is forcing you to continue watching it. Even if they have it seems some of them are very adamant on telling others why they did so. Well, what's wrong with that? The forums here would be pretty dull if none of the people who disliked the series ever voiced why. And the issue isn't so much with individual people simply enjoying the anime, but that the anime community at large is hyping it up as some amazing thing when that's obviously not the case whatsoever. It's heavily flawed and a complete mess as far as writing goes, and anybody capable of critical judgement would recognize these glaring issues. It's pretty much a generic fanfiction given an anime adaptation, so yeah. |

It's pretty much a generic fanfiction given an anime adaptation, so yeah. Once again, it doesn't give them the right to dictate what people should like or not. It's not up to "them" to judge an anime and then complaining that many people still liked it.To each of it's own, If you don't like it I'm not gonna barge into your house and say that you should watch it because it's good. Let people watch it and decide whether to enjoy it and hate it for themselves. If it's hyped, people don't have the obligation or the right to try and put it where it belongs. The hype itself will be reflected through the fans itself, If the anime is really cheap bad it will go down by itself. If it isn't, then there's still something that attracts them, and these haters can't do anything to it. |

| Why is there another thread about why people like SAO? There are already many of these. You people are getting redundant with thread topics. For people who say they "hate" SAO, they sure spend a lot of time watching it, complaining about it, posting in a forum about it, and reading threads on it. Why spend time on something you "hate?" Seriously, these kinds of people make absolutely no sense at all. People like this are essentially trolling. If you hate it that much either stop watching it or continue watching and stop complaining about how bad it is. The reason SAO anime forum is so active on MAL is mostly because of "haters" posting about it, adding to the ever increasing number of posts for this series which has surpassed OP, a series that has been here a lot longer on MAL than SAO. Everyone has their own views on a series, some will like SAO, and some will hate SAO. Your opinions are your own, not fact or something everyone else in the world should see in the same light. |

| at the end of the day, u got those that like the anime and those that don't, i just find the anime to be quite interesting and good, the light novels are so much better imo but this is still a good adaptation of it |
Zee530 said: That would probably solve nothing aside from making SAO fans complain. Haters will just move on to another show. They have already shown in the past to have an uncanny ability to adapt their hatred for anything popular.Maybe an admin should delete SAO from the DB, then all this would stop. |

Vanisher said: how about "it's flawless for me"? Then again we KNOW that scores are based on personal preference for most users This is it basically. One would think by now that MAL ratings are based on personal preferences. I would make more statements. But really there's no need to get confrontational about this. Just tired of the weekly threads such as this one. In the end I just want more content and fleshing out of the vast world depicted in this series. |
drinkbeer said: why do haters still watch SAO religiously every week if they hate it? So they can criticize it. |

| Becouse a lot of gamer love it. Is good, but to me not enough to be in a high place. |

| I am absolutely enjoying ALO and Lyfa yet I also notice the many weaknesses in the show. Therefore, I will be completing a show which is headed for a 3/10 in my personal scale. |

| "So they can criticize EVERYTHING." Everything?You mean how they keep saying the same stuff over and over again.Doesnt answer my question "And some people are completionists." Thats their problem then.Not the series' nor the fans'. Complaining about their decision to "torture" themselves since they know that it wont get any better. |

And some people are completionists. 1)Everything?You mean how they keep saying the same stuff ove and over again.Doesnt answer my question? 2)Thats their problem then.Not the series' nor the fans'. Complaining about their decision to "torture" themselves. Well, torturing onself is not entirely bad. There was for example the endless eight arc of Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and I think there was the idea of torturing a geniuse strike. I think they only watch SAO because they need something to exagerate and complain etc. |

jojovonjo said: If the people criticizing it did not watch it, you guys would be going after them for criticizing something they have not watched. Saying the same stuff over and over isnt -proper-criticism. And some probably havent watched it.Since they cry about things that were answered even in the anime. |
| SAO has the most shittiest romance development i've seen in anime and im not even exaggerating, even the action scenes suck dick and about the characters well the MC is the definition of cliche nuff said, and as for the FMC well she's just a retarded otaku bait |
| tuturu~!! (≧◡≦) |
| "SAO has the most shittiest romance development i've seen in anime and im not even exaggerating, even the action scenes suck dick and about the characters well the MC is the definition of cliche nuff said, and as for the FMC well she's just a retarded otaku bait" No exaggeration with great phrases such as "shittest...", "sucks dick", and "retarded...". Ummm yeah, no exaggeration there. That's pure, unadulterated objective commentary from a level headed person. |

Zee530 said: Well, despite criticism i believe this show will finish in the top 50 it was in 40 something I think back in ep10.Now it's at #64.I think(and hope)that it will drop,since there are some anime that I prefer much more than SAO. |
| Oh I don't know..... Maybe this site is full of idiots. Maybe SAO is force people to give it a high rating. Maybe you're the odd one out. Maybe people actually like it that much. Maybe you shouldn't give a damn about how random group of users # 2,482,348,237,238,976,389 rate their crap. And maybe........just maybe..........someone hacked the site & made it this way. Oh,who knows the answer to this oh so important question? |
| My Devianart Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan. |

You're also an idiot if you dislike the anime and don't even watch Episode 1 or haven't gotten past Episode 10. Looking back the beginning (mainly Pre-Suguha) was the least enjoyable prior to Yui's death which caught my attention. You're clearly not talking about me since I've seen up to episode 17. |
