Those that watch series just to bash it are stupid imo. I watch anime to derive enjoyment - not to bash stuff for the sake of it. That's sad. Pathetic.

I'll watch it to see if it'll be an improvement on S1 or not. If I dislike it, I'll state so. Same if I like it.

B-B-But bashing us fun!

Though I never bash SAO because I thought it was a pretty good show.

eh, it was okay but it seems like people that like Log Horizon are willing to overlook its flaws while they aren't so forgiving with SAO

I will watch sao season 2. I honestly didn't think it was a bad series. The first 14 episode was good, then the elf thing really annoyed me. But I still gave it a 7/10. I didn't even know it was hated until I started going on sites like this and also youtube..

Fair enough, but that in of itself does not naturally lead people to "praise LH just so they can say how bad SAO is".

I'll only criticize and shitpost about it if it's as terrible at the first season.
Though I am giving it a chance, and I hope this season is actually entertaining and focuses more on the MMO and fights than 'getting all these bitches who look 12'

Personally I loved that anime. I love fast paced OP MC so that is just me. Fuck a plot, I love me some DBZ type anime.

That aside, I've only watched 1 anime in my 10+ years of anime because I wanted see exactly how bad it really was. Mars of Destruction is the shit of the shit. The absolute WORST anime EVER created and just for once I had to see what the hype was about.

I still don't know why people hate on SAO so much but to each their own!

I didn't really hate it, I just didn't like the Alfheim Online part. I'm not gonna watch the second season just to criticize it. I'll watch it, because I want to and judge my answer once it's actually completed. I just hope it's better than the first season at least.

I honestly think that bashing so heavily on SAO at this point is pretty old. I mean, yeah, it was pretty shitty in just about every category but it's almost 2 years old at this point (the anime, at least) and hearing it be the butt of every critique and what not is pretty worn out. Sort of like seeing people scream ITS SO SHITY WORST ANIME EVER at Mars of Destruction got old too. I don't care if people critique it or point out its flaws, hell I'm not even a fan whatsoever of the damn thing, but seeing it be the number one contender for hate just about everywhere is kind of tiring and worn out.

It's honestly just beating a dead horse at this point, at least to me. Will I watch it? Yeah, probably. I mean, just because it's bad doesn't mean I won't find some type of enjoyment out of it, even if it's negative enjoyment.

I won't be watching to bash it, not my style. (unless it's Twilght) While I can't say I loved the series, I enjoyed certain things about it so I'm mildly interested in the second season and I'm hoping this arc is at least better than the second arc of last season.

That and I really just want see that girl I guess who's name is Sinon. I've been interested in her ever since I saw an icon of her on MAL. She's way hot and it seems like I might like her character. Plus she's a gun girl, how can I not love that? Yeah in a sense, she's the whole reason I'm watching this.

I didn't really like the first season, but this season looks like it has some merit.
It just depends how it is. The girl looks cool. Then agan, that's how I thought Asuna was, and was left with disappointment. So we'll see.

Speaking as someone who loathed the first season, I'll check it out. I've had various people tell me the books are considerably better, especially after the Alfheim arc.

Really though, the problem with SAO's fanbase isn't the people who hate on it, it's the other park.

I think it will be pretty good so you aren't going to get any hate from me because SAO was one of the first, (IMO) good animes that I ever watched.

Also from what I heard GGO is way way better than ALO.

I hated the first season a lot (you can check my profile for proof, I wrote a 2000 word review on how much I hated it). I'm praying that what PerfectScore says applies to the anime, because a lot of things can be changed in an adaptation...
But yeah, I'm mostly watching this hoping that it will redeem itself.

You're asking MAL forums how many people will watch just to criticise it? -.-

I'm not going anywhere near the forums for this one.

Seriously this anime has a score of 8.25 which is in no way "terrible" or "average".

And yet about 9 in 10 people in this forum are saying how bad it was and they didn't like first season but they will watch season 2 just so they can contaminate the forums with hate. I wouldn't mind if they weren't so rude and immature about it...

Thank you for your opinion. But according to the stats, 72% of users rated SAO 8/10 or above. Are you saying most of those 72% are "fanboy casuals"? And even if they are, if the anime was truly that bad then it wouldn't appeal to even these apparently inferior people you call "fanboys". The fact is, that a few pathetic viewers didn't like the fact that's it's so popular so they all gathered in one place to collectively shit on the whole fan base and continue to insist that it's a really bad show with no good qualities whatsoever. State your opinion once ok good so no one cares big deal don't keep contaminating all the forums with hate so people get an idea that they won't like SAO when statistically they have at least 3 in 4 chance of loving it. There are plenty of shows I dislike, but most people love. It doesn't make me want to spread my hate all over the forums. And there's a difference between constructive criticism and senseless bashing/putting people down.
