| Yeah , I guess Alicization was decent |
| well it is the stupid harem that ruined everyone's experience, I do like the politics and the advancement of technology aspects tho |

| "Why Do You Love Sword Art Online?" I love it as an example how rabid fans can get aggressive against people who express their honest dislike of a show. |
| Well I really liked the first season because I like cringe romance, the fights were decent, it had a good world, and I like the ship Kirito x Asuna |
 |
| I don't love or hate it. I enjoyed what I have seen. I haven't watched the Underworld arc yet, not in a rush I will get there though. |
| I like the first half of SAO I, first half of SAO II, and Alicization. I don't really hate SAO because I enjoyed these, especially Alicization. |

Although the anime did dirty by making all the girls looks like still liking Kirito despite him being in relationship with Asuna. Beside, "everyone" is just you being hyperbolic. bro look at the rating of the show, second part of s2 fucked up |

| Season 1 was good. But it started going downhill in season 2. It was enjoyable until the MC pulled a whole harem. Dude pulled his own cousin. |
| I really liked the first half of S1. One of the best things we've gotten from anime. |
| I think my favorite part of SAO (aside from it being my first anime) is definitely the themes in the later seasons in particular in determining what really makes someone human. I think it's a concept that is only gonna become more relevant as time goes on since obviously we are also advancing more and more technologically, and while I don't necessarily think people will look back at SAO as some groundbreaking series that predicted how that conversation would play out perfectly, I do think it's a bit ahead of its time in that regard. |

Weebsteria said: I did. Yeah you have a point. But I still didn’t find it enjoyable after season 1. I will probably give a chance again. Since it’s been a while since I watched it.xershey said: Season 1 was good. But it started going downhill in season 2. It was enjoyable until the MC pulled a whole harem. Dude pulled his own cousin. Did you even watched the show? It's not harem to begin with. Some of the girls like him bcs he helped them on their most critical situation and thats natural. The fact that he stays loyal to Asuna is what's important. Suguha did liked him, but no longer after they resolve their problems. |
| i dont blindingly love it, i know its flawed as hell, but im nostalgic for it because it was one of my first ever anime. I appreciate the tech side of the show and alicization was a nice change. the harem elements, not so much. |
| I never wanted to like an anime as much as I wanted and tried to like Sword Art Online, unfortunately, I can't when all the villains are disgusting rapists and all the girls are damsels in distress that can only be sexually assaulted while waiting for Kirito to save them. Sword Art Online? more like Sexual Assault Online. |

| I like that it makes for an incredible source for an amazing abridged series. |

I said "rabid fans", are you such? If you are not please ignore my opinion since it's not targeted at you. Personally I had encountered enough people calling my honest disliking "hate" and accusing me of purposely wanting to ruin their oh so precious experience...which is apparently everybody liking the same thing as they do. |
| I don't exactly "love" it, I just dont think it's nearly as bad as people make it sound. I've seen plenty of things I'd consider much worse. Fight scenes are pretty solid for the most part. I am a little tired of every girl being on Kirito's junk though. |
| S1 - Great premise, nice twist with Kayaba's identity which I didn't see coming, focuses on survival rather than tensionless adventure like many isekais. 2nd arc was just a follow through. It wasn't really necessary but it doesn't bother me. S2 - Nice take on ptsd exposure therapy. Sets up the mystery well even though its resolution was anticlimactic. Mother's Rosario had nice drama going and I liked it unironically more than many famous tearjerker anime. Most of the "sad" anime feel dragged on for too long for my taste and I really liked the pacing for this arc. S3 - My favorite arc of SAO. The highlight this time is the worldbuilding and the slow revelations of the dystopian society of underworld. I have written a detailed review for it so no point in typing the same thing here again. |
| Love Sword Art Online is a really strong statement, I don't love it, but I do like it more than most The initial concept was really intriguing, and also Asuna exists |

Sword Art Online? more like Sexual Assault Online. Aren't rapist should be disgusting? More and more anime these days trying to normalize sexual harassment with the helps of "comedy". SAO here trying to tell you how technology can affect people's behaviour and facilitate them on doing rape/sexual assault/harassment, and also how terrifying it is to be the victim. Yeah, rapists are disgusting, that's obvious, I don't need SAO to remind me of that every season, why bother writing compelling villains when you can have all of them be a carbon copy of each other for an easily hateable villain for out protagonist to defeat and be a hero. A series is as good as it's villains/antagonists and Sword Art Online ones are disgusting which make for a disgusting series. |

Weebsteria said: Ok, as long as you don't post your honest disliking on any (or every) post containg SAO, Oh, so now you are telling me what to do? Weebsteria said: cz many haters do that. Can you even tell the difference or you mark as such everyone who disagrees? |
| I like SAO. I really enjoyed watching it. But one thing that annoys me is that in all the series (except SAO Ordinary Scale iirc), there are always that scene which irritates me. |
 |
| 1.It's my 2nd anime 2.Wholesome(fillers) 3.Animation and sounds 4.interesting shits(Murder mystery and coffee soda) ngl,when i was not kind of hate,i adore this one to bits lol |
 |
| The fact that the characters dies irl if they die inside of the game, thats the main selling point of SAO, the intensity. Too bad the author/anime director/whoever responsible for the anime production had to move off SAO so fast like that. |

| I think it's pretty enjoyable. I like in particular how the first season was everything I didn't expect. I remember watching the first episode when it aired and dropping it immediately because I thought it would be something like Log Horizon. Turns out it wasn't and the show really emphasized other stuff I didn't think it would. 8/10 have rewatched again.

Although the anime did dirty by making all the girls looks like still liking Kirito despite him being in relationship with Asuna. Beside, "everyone" is just you being hyperbolic. Probably because the majority of the harem is just different levels of fetish bait. Of course, this isn't uncommon in anime at all, but that's the main issue with the SAO harem that most people seem to take. It also comes off as unrealistic, but this also isn't uncommon in anime to be honest. I have many complaints about SAO, but I have to say that the issues with the harem aren't at all uncommon, and in my opinion not that bad. I suppose you could argue that there was somewhat lazy writing surrounding the harem and the way that the characters are developed into it, but that feeds into problems I have with the show overall. |
| Who said I love SAO? Wtf I dont even watched it |
| Read light novels! 2023 Update: Do NOT read light novels. Regular novels are better. Glory to Haruki Murakami!!! |
| The Aincrad arc and the Alheim arc are things that shouldn't exist at all. I really hated both of em for obvious reasons. Past GGO arc and beyond is literally another world. For me the series goes from a 2 to a solid 6/7. People hatin' sao and saying it's shit should watch the lastest arcs. |
 The fake is of far greater value. In its deliberate attempt to be real, it's more real than the real thing. If u hate monogatari, u are just dumb |
| It's fun to watch without taking anything seriously... Ggo and alicilization season 1 was my favourite 😭 |
| I only watched the S1 but there are some things I liked -It has one of my favorite premises in anime -Kirito's character design is genuinely cool and iconic as shit -The OPs and EDs are bangers, Especially the first OP -Sets up such a good example on how to do a first episode Tbh, I didn't like SAO much but I'm really glad it exists since looking at it's reputation and how far a harem fantasy isekai has gone and the influx of other Isekais that came after it is kinda more interesting than the actual show. I kinda respect it more than I like it. |
