| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |

KurouKuriko said: Kirito is an obnoxious overpowered angsty Gary Stu self-insert for the author, who was 15 when he started writing it. He wears an edgy black cloak and is the only one in the game that can use a special skill. He is so perfect that he can predict a bullet's path by looking at the shooter's eyes, and then SLICE IT IN HALF. Asuna is his perfect pure glop glop waifu who is the second best player in the game even though she's never played one before. Kirito meets tons of females despite there supposedly being very few in the game. And all of them become one-dimensional eye candy for his harem. The pacing is abysmal. Am I to believe they got to floor 74 in the second chapter of the LNs (even if we disregard the LNs, the episodes have barely any continuity)? Am I to feel sad for a character that had 10 minutes of screentime, next to no personality, and then kicked the bucket in the most fanfiction-esque death? "Thank you"? Seriously? She didn't even do anything to enhance the plot. The backgrounds are beautiful and the music is nice, but the animation in the battles are close to slideshow-level. Every character under the age of 20 has the same face. I really want to drop it but I'm too invested to stop now. It's too fun to hate on. All that CRAWLING.  |

Too bad fanboys like kamikaze_1996 will ignore it. did someone call? -_________- and im not a fanboy, i just point out flaws in peoples arguments and correct them, just like i did with you on previous threads, i don't like the anime overall and i hate the way they introduced sachi in 10 minutes only to kill her but i can understand why they did that because of time constraints, i just try to enjoy the anime for what it is instead of comparing it to its LN parent how you doing Nidhoeggr? are you still butthurt about beserk and kirito becoming a black swordsman, i actually somewhat enjoyed arguing with you, but your arguments became flawed i remember you saying stuff similar to this poster, shall i rip it apart like i did with yours? |

All that CRAWLING. you know what, fuck it, ill rip it apart anyway >:D first of all reki is in his mid 30s right now (no specified age), the first novel was released around 3 years ago and the prototype was written 9 years ago by my count, saying that he wrote when he was 15 is entirely wrong secondly, he isn't the only one with a special skill, *cough* heathcliff also you don't understand how special skills work, special skills are given to players who fulfilled a certain requirement, kirito trained hard in the front lines and fought so much that he ended up inadvertently trained his reaction speed, his special skill was awarded to him for having the fastest reaction speed, he was surprised as anyone else another example is kleins katana skill however there are a minority who also have that because he trained his trained his reaction speed for two straight years, he became able to dodge bullets and intercept them in GGO, it wasn't an asspull nor does it make him a gary stu he even admits zekken has faster reaction speeds than him and that if zekken was in SAO he wouldn't be the one who was awarded dual blades, but thats only because zekken is a special case (lived much, much longer in the virtual world) calling him a gary stu has no bases aswell for reasons ive just said, he has lost fights and although he may seem strong in the gaming world, he is weak and fragile in the real world saying asuna is the second best player is false, especially when heathcliff is around, she was actually a total noob at the start (didn't know how the game works, could only activate one skill) and almost died but she became more knowledgeable after she joined KoB the pacing is the only thing in your argument that has some bases, but even then, the only reason why it was rushed was because of time constraints and it was done in chronological order because the non-linear simply wouldn't work well, so although the episodes lack continuity, its understandable why everything else you say is opinion orientated seriously, have the haters been downgraded so much that they come up with false arguments such as these what im trying to say is, you can dislike the show but don't put in false points such as "kirito is the only one with a special skill" when thats clearly wrong |

| You know kamikaze, if the series is good it does not need you to defend it. There is no need to be a degrading to everyone who posts their views.You even do it on the episode discussion thread. They are not going to supplement their own views with yours nor are they posting to affect everyone. Unless you are the writer of the series, you need to relax a little. So people do not love what you love, it is called life. Please, go be a crazy fan elsewhere. Let others speak. I will get off my soapbox now. |

| Someone isn't accepting that its just good... >.> And it also started, so of course we don't know the actual final ratings when the anime is going to be completed. It simply means that a lot of people are really enjoying it at the moment. And your taste is different, is all. |

I will get off my soapbox now. first asada and now its you? im not even posting my views, just stating the facts, no opinion there except the last line no way im gonna stop, its fun breaking apart people's argument full of false statements and then getting posts from people full of hate, its just so laughable pissing off the haters and getting serious reactions out of them i don't care if they like this show, they can hate it if they want to but like i said, they could at least come up with proper arguments instead of throwing in lies |
|
| Kamikaze, So what is a lie. Having an opinion means throwing lies. You back things up with facts, facts based on the light novels. An anime series, should not need supplement material to enjoy it. The fact you have to back it up with facts from the light novel proves there are holes in it. However, I did not comment on my post about the series, I merely commented on your behavior on this topics. |

| Kamikaze Sorry I do not want to quote you because it make the page so long. Your right I do not have to care about you. However, I hoped that if I asked nicely for you to back down the you would allow for some actual discussion to happen on these topics. You step in an ravage everyone which kills the need for anyone to post because no one can discuss anything. Who cares if someone hates your precious anime let them talk about why they hate it without slamming them. It is juvenile. You attitude bothers me and I hate that the only thing on these topics is someone saying something and you slamming them. |

| KAMIKAZE, although your right most of the time, you've now turned into a huge troll where your being completely inconsiderate to others and your being right for the wrong reasons instead of being right for the right reasons like i said once before, its like your going up religious believers and saying to them "mwahahahahahaha, god doesn't exist bitches, thats a FACT!" even if your right, its completely evil, let them follow their beliefs even if its wrong although its funny how your trolling the haters and fans alike (how is that even possible?), its really mean, why are you purposely turning everyone against you and purposely pissing EVERYONE off? and don't deny it, your clearly doing it from what ive seen |

| Well from the gist of reading this thread, I get that people have their problems with the series, but no one is gonna drop this series. What does that say? I mean if it truly was a bad series you drop it, the hype was a little over the top, but it delivered with the art, and fight scenes, though not enough fight scenes. Honestly, I am a fan of the series and always will be, but people complaining about Kirito being overpowered, I think it is better than the hundreds of weak to strong protagonist animes that are all over the place, or cowardly to brave protagonists, or even the super pervert protagonists. I prefer a super powered badass cause that just means he'll have even cooler fights. |
dim100 said: Well from the gist of reading this thread, I get that people have their problems with the series, but no one is gonna drop this series. What does that say? SAO is the next Steins;Gate (good) or Guilty Crown (bad). I read Volume 1 today, and while I thought it was pretty good, it deserved nowhere near the hype given to it. I mean if it truly was a bad series you drop it, the hype was a little over the top, but it delivered with the art, and fight scenes, though not enough fight scenes. I agree with you that the art is nice, but the fight scenes all end with Kirito curbstomping everyone (excluding episode 2, which he still won anyways). Honestly, I am a fan of the series and always will be, but people complaining about Kirito being overpowered, I think it is better than the hundreds of weak to strong protagonist animes that are all over the place, or cowardly to brave protagonists, or even the super pervert protagonists. I prefer a super powered badass cause that just means he'll have even cooler fights. People are really only complaining that Kirito has the personality of a potato (after reading Volume 1, I won't go so far as to say that, but I still think he's a bit...bland). Hagure Yuusha no Estica is an example of an overpowered main character done right. |
| Lol guess I'm not the only one who finished Guilty Crown even though that show was just an average show. I wouldn't say I didn't enjoy Guilty Crown because it was bad. Forget about the plot, only the art/music is addictive enough. The same applies for SAO. |
| Guilty crown was awful imo it kept on fluctuating, it was good then bad then very bad then very good and then awful at the end shu got screwed over, like really hard at the end and i DO NOT consider the ending happy whatsoever, its a good example of how a hero can get fucked over soo hard and receive the worst possible ending even after his efforts but people were really critical about it, its OST/artwork alone made it better than most of the shit ive seen in the 500+ rank and it still had its good parts regardless of the bad ending although i wouldn't say the OST/ART is better than GC, it still good enough to be rated high from what ive seen, i thought the artwork was gonna be crap from what i saw from the PV but it was better than i thought |

Karpman said: If we are talking about "overrated" shows, how about Little Busters, who already has 43 favourites with zero episodes aired, just saying, this happens with every overhyped anime, people get way too excited over novels and immediately assume it will the best thing ever, only to be disappointed in the end because of an average adaptation. Believe me, once SAO's status has finished airing, all of the biased ratings will be gone, and it will have total rating of high in the 7 or low in the 8. And that hype will be crushed when they wake up from their dreams and realize it's JC Staff shitting over their adaptation. The suffering will be delicious. Almost forgot my YUETSU.jpg |
| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |

No one can pull off a "Lelouch". making everyone hate you, thus ending the pointless wars (arguments) by getting everyone to have a common enemy etc. i was only exaggerating and fooling around, NO-ONE can pull off a lelouch like lelouch can, NOBODY xD |

kamikaze_1996 said: Guilty crown was awful imo it kept on fluctuating, it was good then bad then very bad then very good and then awful at the end shu got screwed over, like really hard at the end and i DO NOT consider the ending happy whatsoever, its a good example of how a hero can get fucked over soo hard and receive the worst possible ending even after his efforts but people were really critical about it, its OST/artwork alone made it better than most of the shit ive seen in the 500+ rank and it still had its good parts regardless of the bad ending although i wouldn't say the OST/ART is better than GC, it still good enough to be rated high from what ive seen, i thought the artwork was gonna be crap from what i saw from the PV but it was better than i thought Ah, delicious tears. I like how you defend even the biggest plot holes (I wouldn't give an "awful series" a 9, for example) and that you are getting more defensive-aggresive every second these discussions are going on. Well, I guess I shouldn't expect that much from a 16 year-old: teenagers tend to be a bit radical when it comes down to their tastes - after all identity is partially defined though your interests. It's style over substance in these years and I'm sure you'll laugh about in a decade from now on. But still, you should be a bit more tolerant. While I might express my opinions in a vulgar way, I always try to be aware of the flaws my arguments hold and don't drag out discussions that i know won't end with a significant progress being made. Just chill a bit more. Or don't, because these "discussions" are way more fun than SAO, currently. Btw: Just try to rip apart some of the shows I like. It'll be amusing to see you hating on Porco Rosso, Jin-Roh, GitS, Monster and Michiko To Hatchin. |

Burn2sai said: I completely agree with this guy. Not on the basis that SAO is bad but on the fact that we are stating our opinions based on feelings at the time and not on facts. The first thing to do when you state your opinion is to make sure there aren't any holes which is exactly what Nidhoeggr is trying to do and is in fact succeeding. The person with the more well-rounded opinion and calmer demeanor will win the argument. The person roused by anger to fight back fails probably 95% of the time. And not only that, he has already fortold that his opponents will say something like "And this is coming from a guy who watches(insert favorited anime here)" and has prepared himself for it. THis is how to win an argument. Now back to the main topic. I will admit that I liked SAO at the begging because the fighting/romance that I had been waiting for was finally here and the setting was definitely a 10/10. I base my argument against most haters that they got hyped up on the battle on episode 2 and wanted to see more fighting so they are hating on all these info episodes. I believe this is true only part of the time, the rest of the time I do believe it is do to plot problems. I do believe SAO is trying to show the anime on how it would be if it actually happened but it is making a few obvious mistakes. The major problem is that there are too many hot and cute girls playing the game. This issue is also reinforced by the first episode because they said many people (addictive gamers) were trying to buy the game but it sold out. There is no way that cute timid girls would take the time to get the game, and if they did the truly addicted game players would have beaten them to it. Now to somewhat defend SAO everyone is saying Kirito is the strongest player in the game due to him being a beta player and they usually base the rest of their argument off of this. What I'm about to say is definitely a spoiler but I think it fights that accusation a little. And I think that's it. Hope I didn't leave to many holes. (THIS IS JUST MY OPINION) The thing is, even with a argument without holes (which I believe myself is almost nearly impossible), everything is still about opinion. Some people here said: "facts can't be proven wrong." Of course, from the logic, we really can't, but it isn't anything absolute unless there's a proof for it. In your case, I think you're right, there's a background from what you said, and your argument does have it's credibility. Unfortunately, there's always someone to say the opposite, because their opinions and point of views are different. The main showdown becomes to those who have the necessary proof, or "facts". That is, I believe at least. Someone can say the exact opposite of what I just said, and there's really nothing I can do about it, not because it's impossible to change people's opinions, but for a lot of factors that let them take a comeback. Some of them I can see, some other not, either there's a hole or not. In the end, I believe it's about making the person you're having an argumentation with- recognize that both of you have a different opinion. There are some situations where we can make exceptions and keep going, but not always. |

Burn2sai said: You're probably right. There will always be and argument as long as there are opposing opinions and the best way for it to end is the acknowledgement of each others opinions. This though would probably rarely happen due to stubbornness and anger. I respect your thoughts and thank you for posting your opinion. I thank you back, for showing in this thread that everyone can have a point of view without slashing one another. |
