This could be good if the protagonist isn't some op god which gets everything handed to him *cough* *cough* Kirito *cough *cough*

This could actually be decent if kirito isn't involved. No protagonist which is op from the get go. A STORY THAT ACTUALLY DEVELOPES????


Yep, this will get me hate but I think I'm fair to say it's pretty boring when the main character is the best player in the game. Surely some people see where I'm coming from.

Please just don't make this protagonist the next kirito, I beg.

I have been reading the manga and it doesn't seem like the main character is all that op.

Yeah this anime just generally looks like it fixes many of the mistakes that SAO makes, kind of makes you wonder why they didn't just drop the SAO name and make a whole new IP...

@Snug_Roku I’m just saying that this new show will fix the problems that SAO has. One of those main problems is that kirito is just boring by how op he is. If your a big fan of kirito then I’m sorry if I offended you but I just wanted to express how I feel about this new show and what I hope for it

@ThousandBirds_ that’s good to hear. Hopefully they keep that in. They should do anyway but knowing SAO, any weird stuff can go down

@KyleDB thats what I’m hoping for. They probably just didn’t get rid of the SAO name because it will get them so much money and so many more people would watch it, knowing it’s a part of SAO

I have read some of the LN and the characters aren't overly unbalanced like in the original at all. I think if they plan well this could turn out to be pretty decent.

I am also exited for the Alicization arc, it fixed many of the mistakes made in the original and I can't wait to see it animated.

That is true, I think what I was thinking of was the reputation SAO has in the otaku community, hence causing less people to watch it, more casual anime fans probably don't know or care about that reputation, so true that more people will watch it

Judging by the original creator, Sigsaw Keiichi (Kino's Adventure) and the writer Yousuke Kuroda (BnH, Drifters, Hellsing, HotD), it's probably going to be an episodic series that's really bombastic. Of course, I could be wrong but at the very least it seems unlikely that this will somehow manage to be worse than SAO.
People who put MAL stats in their sigs are losers lol

Yes, forget about about my hero aca, food wars, AoT, mob psycho, tokyo ghoul, one punch man, steins gate, code geass, etc. This is in the sao universe so therefore its the best, period

Kiroto sure makes a lot of guys(?) insecure..........

People really should do something better than starting pointless threads.

How much do you wanna bet it's gonna be trash?
The word elitist is stupid since it's just used by people who can't defend their favorite shows and use it on people who criticize their favorite shows.

Personally, I don't think it matters. I prefe both balanced and op, such as Momonga from Overlord and Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. That's all.

It doesn't matter if Kirito is in it or not. It's still gonna be bad because it's still Sword Art Online. Also keep in mind that the new director is actually worse than the last guy.

I think the fact there's a different director will actually make it better because hopefully that will get rid of all of "those" scenes if you know what I mean. On top of that there's an entirely different studio making this one. Therefore all this show shares right now is the Series. I want it to be good but I can see why you think this

That is so true and that is probably what i hate the most about this show yet i kind of enjoyed the first episode and i hope this show stays strong.

I think everyone can agree that aincrad was the best out of the 3 worlds

Yea and even that one wasn't designed all that well cuz the author has no idea how rpgs work but a "side story" in that world would have been much more interesting by default

To be fairly honest don't get much your hopes up with that. To be fair, it doesn't really matter if there's no Kirito or Kirito involved. That's not actually the main reason why people dislike the show. The reason why people dislike the show is because of the writing is not the best out there (I don't agree it being the worst either tho).

In all honesty, my hopes for this are quite low. As far as what I saw from the synopsis, the stakes are rather low in comparison to the Aincrad and Phantom Bullet Arcs of the original.

The reason people dislike SAO is because they're sheeple who can't think on their own and lack perspective.
Sure, it's not a flawless masterpiece, but so is everything else. What matters if you can enjoy the show.
