Cause she's badass and has moe gap. Plus she had solid growth and development as a character. There's a lot to like with her tbh.

She’s a very good character, her development and growth as an AI were great. Also, she will be even better during this second part of Alicization, where she will be the main character.

Why is she annoying? All she's ever done since the start of this season is serve for the betterment of others - her selfishness, kindness, and beauty all outrank other characters of the show right now.

She’s an actual character with growth, unlike pretty much every other character in the series. And her character trope is far less common than most, making her far more enjoyable than everyone in Kirito’s harem.

She and Eugeo has actually characterization. She's also pretty damn badass.
I find Asuna more annoying tbh.
Only problem is that the first half of the anime skimmed through everything so Eugeo was butchered. But Alice is the main character in the second half so hopefully would get a more deserving display.

Asuna + Saber = Her.
She's proeficient in combat, has a nice seiyuu, and a cool sword.
Not the best per se but she's my third favorite girl (1. Asuna 2.Yuuki 3. Her).

Troll is obvious. For one, Alice is a minority character in the SAO community, Asuna is undoubtedly the most popular girl and even just won the r/anime best girl of 2018-19 poll. So no, Alice is not as popular as you think. However, there are cultured individuals like myself who prefer she and Kirito and have her as best girl. Why? Because she’s best girl. And best waifu. Reading the LN’s, particularly volume 15 and 16 will explain this. Which I’m sure you haven’t done. The better question is, “Why do people like asuna?” A generic cutout shell of a former self. Asuna is the annoying one.

Okay the real question is why everyone is responding to this obvious retarded Outrage Bait thread. because this idiot is not giving any reasons why he hate's Alice, which is a very awesome character FYI.

Also not a very good look for you when people are calling you a Bot Account and you go out of your way to insult Fate and My Hero Academia, 2 super popular series that a lot people love, calling them "an insult to humanity" on your dead profile, sounds like your typical Anime Elitist Millennial.

1. Because she is voiced by KAYANO AI, who seem to have some affair with MATSUOKA YOSHITSUGU (or that's what fan think/i don't know the details). Some Fans (minority) probably want to hook up ALICE with KIRITO because of this. I am not their fan, so i don't know.
2. Please, do not compare aLICE with SABER. SABER is the best. The only dislikers of SABER are TOHSAKA RIN's fan. Please, check SABER ratings on MAL.
3. Please do not compare ALICE with DARKNESS.

btw, Alice is a decent character when not compared with other similar anime characters.

If Eugeo was still alive, Alice won't join Kirito's harem for sure. Additionally, Reki Kawahara killed so many characters that aren't necessary and ruined the story. Then, Kirito's harem increased and his best friend has gone. Probably I can't enjoy the War of Underworld because I shipped Alice with Eugeo but yet that's impossible. I wonder what will happen to Alice if her Fluctlight transfered into the reality world, hopefully no cafe scene again. Reincernate Eugeo's Fluctlight would make the story better since SAO I and SAO II were very bad because there are so many girls that ruined the storyline. That's why we need a male protagonist to fix the story and yet.. He's no longer available. I'm very unsatisfied, especially when Kirito's best friend died.


He ruined nothing. You're just like that because your wishful thinking wasn't complete

Only the first 4-5 episodes were skimmed.

They did technically skim through everything. Stuff between 4-5 was outright skipped. Everything else had the dialogue and minor scenes cut because that would stretch the anime way too long with nothing happening much other than learning a bit more about Eugeo.

They never really discussed Eugeo's family issues hence why a lot of people found it confusing when he got tempted at the end. Honestly so did I since I read the novel so long ago.
Eugeo also had some differing opinions to Kirito's at times but those were like minor dialogue. Part of the difference was because of how he's raised differently from Kirito, with the taboos and all.
Those are what separates Eugeo and Alice from other SAO characters in the first place. Their contrast also helps prop up Kirito. The differences help make Kirito more unique compared to the other two even if not much had really changed. But since these dialogues are "minor" they get removed.

The original post is gone but im still gonna quote you for clarifications, Reki did not only kill Eugeo, but Reki also killed Alice's original personality who (possibly) loves Eugeo as well. They are both dead, they won't come back. Yes, Alice's memories are gone forever, it was shown in the light novel that she remembers nothing about Selka, needing few months to actually drop her keigo/formal language towards her.. though it wasn't explained that well in the anime. This is why she has nothing towards Eugeo right now (feelings and memories basically deleted) and she only loves Kirito because he's the one who guided her back into human, as far as she remember

Why Fate Fans Are Called "fate retard (fateガイジ、イキリ鯖太郎) " in Japan. 😂
Saber is plagiarism from Agrias.



I doubt this. Artoria was based on Arthur from Prototype but because they changed her to a woman so the game sells more they simply gave her a feminine armor. She was actually supposed to be a guy when they wrote the first concept for Fsn.

Well not really Arthur's final design is more based off Artoria then anything. Artoria was created very early in FSN development and was developed as Takeuchi's masterpiece. But yeah ignore this guy its a bait account.

We should wait until Kirito decides who cooks best. Alice took care of him during six months with just so much love and attention that it makes her really convincing. And as others said, she is an OP fighter with a personality and great morality, so I do not really see the issue with her. I am surprised that no one used the Marie Sue argument to dismiss her without discussions.
