Sword Art Online (light novel)
| So with all the hype surrounding this show I'm wondering how popular this show can really get. Do you guys think this will be as successful and popular as No Game No Life of last season? Maybe it could be even more successful. Hard to imagine this show being in the top 20 but who knows? What are your thoughts on this? Also please make sure to vote in the poll. |
| Wasn't NGNL the next SAO? I'm confused |
 |
| It says Sword art online 'II' No need to compare. It'll be good if it isn't rushed. Novel was awesome. |

| It's "WAY" to early to tell. From what I am gathering from the the comments on the episode (majority) this episode was great and they are screaming for episode 2. On the other hand almost every person not saying that is rating it as a horrible first episode and that it was the most boring 24 minutes of their life. Only time will tell how this show will play out. |
IZEROII said: If you legitimately enjoyed this as a series then I honestly believe you need to reevaluate your definition of entertainment because watching tin foil blow in the wind probably is a way you kill time. SolviteSekai said: Lol wish fulfillment. It's always been my wish to be a greasy lolicon with a mullet who plays Civ all day every day. He got me. |
| Judging from episode 1... I highly doubt it. I'll go as far as saying it's impossible. |

shadedclan said: No. I think maybe because of the hype SAO has, some people might get disappointed, depending how great the show will be. NGNL had the advantage of lower hype compared to SAO because it was something new and not a lot of people heard of it yet. And because of the low expectations, NGNL blew people away. Take this into account SAO got a better chance to score with disappointed fans from last year, as we're expecting a lot less and set our bars very low. |

| i like how people categorize and criticize every popular anime...i wish "popular" was a genre so everyone would stop talking like that with every new anime :I..... BasedGodzilla said: thisSolviteSekai said: This doesn't even make sense. Sure it does. It just means NGNL was the "next" SAO. I don't exactly agree with the comparison, personally, but it was certainly a bigger hit than I expected. and your avatar,i frickin love that fish :O...so much memories basedgodzilla |

| Lol, SAO is mediocre and hated, NGNL is awesome and loved, the only comparison possible between them is the popularity, which NGNL will grow even higher |

| Both are bad. |
| I don't think so. For people like me who haven't read the novel, NGNL came as a surprise(or disappointment. Depends on the point of view). Hence the high rating. I sure didn't expect what happened in NGNL to be as entertaining or riveting as it was for me. But, this SAO II is a sequel. Most of us who have watched the first one already know what to expect. So, there will be fans who will be squealing for joy. And then, there are the haters who just love to criticize the heck out of it. So, no. I don't believe this will be the next NGNL. But, I will be interested in the intense future debates that will come. ;) |

Forgetfulness said: I'm basing my statement from my own personal exeperience,the Mal rankings and the users thoughts. Overall the rankings and the overall forum user's opinion suggests that NGNL is a great, amuzing experience,but since i'm trying to don't care about those 2, i loved this and i think it's far superior to SAO, so that's my answear, i hope my point is clear with this post. Ex: the user above me postFlareStar101 said: NGNL wasn't even that great though :|Lol, SAO is mediocre and hated, NGNL is awesome and loved, the only comparison possible between them is the popularity, which NGNL will grow even higher It was just alright... |

| It will have a tough battle. Being a sequel it comes with plenty of lovers and haters from the start. Unlike when SAO1, SnK, NGNL first aired the haters didn't come until after it was already hyped to high heaven. |
| No this will probably be the next Mahouka |
Forgetfulness said: Maybe because of the different airing times, but SAO has far more critics in here than NGNL, and again, i'm posting based in my own interpretation on both shows. But if there was a vs. poll, NGNL would definitively get more luv. What are we talking 'bout again? I'm lost here lolFlareStar101 said: Then perhaps you should do the same for SAO: http://myanimelist.net/anime/11757/Sword_Art_Online/statsI'm basing my statement from my own personal exeperience,the Mal rankings and the users thoughts.

| As in shitty overhyped garbage? Most probably :^) |
| This thread doesn't make any sense. Sword Art Online came before No Game No Life. And was insanely popular long before the NGNL anime. |
| SAO has a heavily negative image on the forums whereas NGNL does not... so yeah no FlareStar101 said: SAO has *waaaaayyyyy* more viewers, so obviously it also has more fans. Though I guess its haters would vote against it just for the hell of it as well.Forgetfulness said: Maybe because of the different airing times, but SAO has far more critics in here than NGNL, and again, i'm posting based in my own interpretation on both shows.

| SAO and NGNL are both very popular and overrated in my opinion. But I don't know how this sequel will turn out to be. I know I liked this arc in the LN so I'm sure I'll like it more. Besides, if NGNL doesn't get a sequel (which is rather not probable) I'm sure most people will forget about it. |

| Because NGNL invented success and popularity and should be the standard to which everything else is held from now on. |

Linkmstr said: .hack > LH = NGNL > SAO Except .hack is a ripe off of SAO but I don't expect people to know this. So your order is: SAO > LH = NGNL > SAO |
namedrisk said: Linkmstr said: .hack > LH = NGNL > SAO Except .hack is a ripe off of SAO but I don't expect people to know this. So your order is: SAO > LH = NGNL > SAO LOL you do know hack far older than SAO don't you, so if anything is a rip off it's sword art. |

| No, but it will be the next Sword art online |
 |
| You can only compare it to the first season of sao. |
| Hmm. Hard to imagine. I believe it will depends on how will A1 exceed on action sequences. SAO may not have the crazy twists of NGNL, but if the animation and sound score are top-notch it's possible. Let's be honest, you can have the greatest script ever, but if don't deliver the visuals, there's little chance of your work reaching massive popularity. |
| Not that I care that much, but SAO has ongoing popularity by its side. Same happened before with the first season. It gets popular and climbs up to the top of MAL and then plummets down the drain again after a few months, unlike the steady residents of the top we have at the moment. Whether it's going to be popular or not is a no question. It is indeed going to be popular due to the sheer number of fans it has. Can't really say for how long though. I guess it's going to be the same as the first season. Popularity will drop steadily by the end of the series. |

Linkmstr said: .hack > LH = NGNL > SAO I didn't watch .hack, but Log Horison is so boring. All what I saw in Log Horison is ugly characters having long and boring dialog about economics and politics and other boring subject. Where is the fun in that ?! Please don't compare a boring shit like this to something like NGNL and SAO. Even the OP song in SAO II is better than all log horison episodes combined. I didn't watch SAO II yet though. |

Simply, wow. I don't see a problem with what he said. Most of the political and sociological dialogues in Log Horizon are really dumb and far fetched, so I'd personally rather watch SAO. Theres something to be said about how SAO is aware that it is an action shounen show, and Log Horizon isnt. Log Horizon is for most intents and purposes Fairy Tail but with a serious tone and pseudo intellectual social commentary. |
