We already know that both series share the same creator. Both famous Anime, but who is better?

I dropped both of them once, but after a couple months i decited to watch and finish e'n after.

I'll be honest. SAO SUCKS AND ACCEL WORLD IS ACTUALLY GOOD ANIME. OFC this is in base of enjoyement!

What do you think? Who's the best among them?

Everything is better than SAO, this is a no-brainer.

To me, Accel World was far more entertaining. The AW's main character and the main girl were also quite more likeable than SAO's.
Neither of them struck me as being extraordinary, but the enjoyment factor and characters are definitely things I care about, and on thoses, Accel World>SAO.

I have to agree on this.

Sao might be the worst anime ever for real. At least among them i've watched!

I hated both of them...
IMO SAO is mediocre but AW has an annoying Chibi protagonist. But AW is better by a slight margin.

Rewatching best Comedy ever "NICHIJOU" And saying best waifu is Holo is the best to hear.

I think the first arc of SAO > accel world but the rest is so freaking shitty that accel world gets better, to me SAO only gets worse while accel world develops a lot more

Accel world is one of the few anime I truly dislike. SAO is my favorite anime compared to it.

Ugh i came to say the same.
Boku No Pico could come close to being third for non fujoshis (of course SAO 2 is the second worst).

I actually liked AW better than SAO. Because I can relate myself to Haruyuki than Kirito. I suffer from low self-esteem and anxieties from time to time.

Accel World catches a lot of hate due to the atrocious character design of the MC, but if you can get past that it's a pretty good series. That said, SAO is still better.

At this point I feel like people are just trying to fit in with "elitists" by shitting over a very popular mainstream series. I don't know why there is a need to keep talking about SAO and why the thousands of self-proclaimed critics believe it to be a bad series. We get it. No one is making threads about it being good. So at this point it's just a pointless echo chamber.

Nah, to start i think if the protagonist is a fat loser, he must be an incredible and funny pervert fat guy, not a chubby crybaby like Arita, but that sick loli Yuniko is so cute. The plot, games and characters, i prefer SAO, although i think they force the romance between Kirito and Asuna too much.

Is the massacre of Nanking better than the Holocaust?

Nah, furreal, I dunno, I personally found SAO to be more memeworthy and easier to sit through. Doesn't mean that it's anything but shit. Accel World is a totally different disaster, but the OP was kinda catchy if I'm remembering it correctly. Anyone can enjoy these shows to their heart's content, but I think most people would come to the consensus that these shows are total trainwrecks either way. This is what matters in the grand scale of things. It's like choosing between Logan Paul and ... Justin Bieber?

I made it 4 episodes into Accel World and and only 5 minutes into SAO. Accel world is better, but it's still pretty bad.

I see them as being on more or less the same level. Neither are terrible, nor great
Both have solid first cours and annoying second cours. Both have likable girls
Not interested in the sequels to SAO, marginally interested in AW's. We'll see when that elusive AW S2 does get released

idk, there's so much more material adapted from SAO than from accel world that it's hard to say as an anime only watcher. After season 1 of SAO ended I'd also have said accel world is better, but SAO does show signs of improvements over time and I have no idea how accel world went on. I can say that I prefer the characters in accel world tho.
I probably regret this post by now.

im still hoping for a anime sequel of Accel World and yes i enjoyed it more than SAO

the fat crybaby MC does not bother me unlike majority of the haters of it

the computer jargons in Accel World is cool and its concepts like the incarnate system which overrides the virtual worlds laws just by pure will is not original but very fun to think about

Probably.

I mean, it's not SAO, so it already has that going for it.
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

SAO had a more interesting story, the game world was richer for a fantasy, it focused more on the whole peril which made it more thrilling to watch, the MC was easier to relate to, the romance develops nicely, it flowed much better imo

AW focused more on the characters inner struggles which is a problem when the MC is unlikable and hard to relate to for many/most people, the game world was a bit lifeless, it was closer to a highschool anime tropes, and the story-at least in anime- didn't go much forward

For those reasons and a few others I much prefer SAO

Sao is better than Accel World.

At least with Sao I did like the first arc and the GGO arc but outside of that it's below average series. It could've been a show about a game of survival, but eventually reduced to harem/ecchi shenanigans. But AW it was just that right from the get go. I only gave it a 4 bc "hey at least it showed that even fat boys can get harems" take that out and it'll be a 3

I like both and rate them the same, but it's better than some of the sequels to SAO.

It depends on what you are looking for in an anime, really.

The character introspection, dilemma and resolution is much more compact and impressive in Accel World. It has the better story, tbh.

However, I find SAO is more entertaining because I find the characters more entertaining. Plus, I found some things more relatable when it comes to the mmo mentality. I can stand a so-so story if the characters are likeable, which is why I like SAO more.

Don't like both of them but I'll go with AW just because the main girl there is not as boring as Asuna lol. I don't give a shit about both MCs.
