zharth said: I wouldn't say that SAO *deserves* either hate or praise. It's just a story, whether good or bad, and some people liked it more than others. But I definitely agree that it did not live up to its potential as a story with a very intriguing premise. But I guess the author was overambitious in that respect. I actually liked the Alfheim part of the story better, since it had a more cohesive plot, and plus I guess I just thought the fairy world was more interesting than the generic sword-without-sorcery Aincrad... As far as realism is concerned, there were definitely way too many young, pretty females in those games, but it became pretty clear by the end that it was more concerned with being a nerd's fantasy than a gritty, realistic story about a game that people can't log out of. Unfortunately. Thanks fro agreeing with most of the big points I made and also writing something interesting rather than typical one line replies. Its true that the 2nd part was more cohesive, but it had the tail of being the second part which was not only stepped on but it was also a drag(shown in the massive rant). |

SAO is entertaining and that's all I care about. I enjoyed everything SAO gave me and so did many others. Just cause it could have been "better" doesn't mean it "should" have been better, so I see nothing "wrong" with it in the first place, and thus very little reason to bitch or complain about it. oh yeah and now that I'm actually reading your post lol @ misogynistic please go back to tumblr |

Korrvo said: Most of what i wrote has a lot of proof that backed up what I claimed. If the flaws are so evident and you can't see them, then I think you should take some film courses to make your critiquing more prudent. I'm not calling it wrong, but I don't think its right or even good. That's the bullshit that art has to deal with, subjectivity. That's why you have to compare and contrast.

You are looking at the typical damsel in distress formula which is supporting inequality. |

| Here's the thing. I like SAO, and I like it's "flaws", though I use the word loosely. They aren't flaws; they are simply not what you'd rather see. The fact that you think it "should" be different is nothing more than a bi-product of a horribly elitist mindset that is just one of the many cancers that fandoms, like the anime fandom, have to put up with. When you begin "critiquing" an anime for not being what it's clearly not trying to be, then that's where you know you fucked up. "This apple should taste more like an orange because I like oranges better. 2/10, what a shitty apple." Critique is fine and I welcome it as well as any form of intelligent discussion, but at that point it's not critique or intelligent anymore, it's just overrated bitching.

You are looking at the typical damsel in distress formula which is supporting inequality. Because for one, nobody gives a shit, and second, people hate femi-nazis. I am one of those people. This is a show meant for guys. Guys have dicks. If you have a problem with that and want to be an obnoxious SJW, keep it to yourself, or as I said earlier, take it tumblr. |

I'm criticizing SAO's structure, foundation, and writing. You are talking about the presentation and topics. Very different. You should read a more about film theory and analysis. Also if you want to compare apples to oranges, a survival video game doesn't mix well with incest. You presented a big budget piece with an interesting concept that has little exploration. Kind of disappointing that they took the formulaic route rather than the more intellectual and creative one. Call me snobbish, but I'm expressing my opinion. Never called my answer objective. Its just everything is so laid out and simple for anyone to see. I just put it into words. Your accusations are hypocritical. So you promote social hierarchy? wow |
