Favorite arc? Separated war of underworld into two parts because part 1 is really good but part 2 ruins the entire thing. My vote goes to wou part 1. If you vote for alfheim you need help btw.

I don't think there's a doubt, Alicization is the the Best SAO has to offer.

Why separate Alicization? Is all the same thing... 10 LN volumes for a single Arc.

Aincrad is the best Arc in all of SAO. It's the arc that got us all hooked. We all continued the series because of this arc.

Mother's Rosario and Alicization. Kirito and Asuna being equally on par with each other like in the glorious Aincrad days amazes me to no end and their faithfulness is really noteworthy.

I already said why I separated WoU into two parts in my orignial comment, but I separated the whole 50 episodes into multiple parts because there's such a range in quality throughout alicization that I felt like it'd be wrong to put it all in one. The first 25 episodes are meh. The introduction of Eugio and Alice is ok. They are ok characters. Better than the rest, but still not good. All the side characters are still garbage. Then war of underworld part 1 is actually quite good, especially by sao standards. That's because it takes a dump on Kirito, Eugio, and Asuna, and focuses on developing the side characters, mostly the integrity knights. They all get admittedly rushed but solid development. Also the story is setting up for a nice finish building on the themes of human rights for AI, and the human soul. Then war of underworld part 2 comes in and shits on everything that was building up. Kirito wakes up and does everyone's job for them, beating all the bosses and saving the day and getting all the women. Also the themes that were building end up incredibly incomplete and everything seems wrong. If I put it all into one arc, I have no idea how I would rate it because there's such diverse quality throughout the whole thing.

Quality doesn't separate arcs, arcs are arcs and that cannot be changed according to fans, thow whole 47eps were Alicization single, so you cannot change it, you only added separate seasons instead of arcs making this poll meaningless. If the 2nd part of Alicization is bad then let it be, but it is one arc so it should be. Devolopment, good character, good weapons etc etc doesn't separate arc unless it starts a whole new story itself.

If Alicization were an standalone saga or a new series without Kirito, it would be the best. Best secondary characters and development, best narrative and best villains in WoU, without Kirito and co. it would be the same, only a tale about Eugeo and Alice, the Black Swordman it was just a fanservice key point in Alicization saga

But Aincrad is love. SAO is awesome in 13 episodes, no more, no less.

Without Kirito it won't be SAO anymore.

Do u know what fanservice is? How is black swordsman covered with black clothes all over is a fanservice?

Good thing u liked Aincrad at least, u won't hate Progressive ig

I don't think you know what fan service is. Things that are there just to please the fans and aren't actually required for the plot to happen are called fanservice. While unnecessary and random nudity is fanservice all fanservice isn't nudity

Honestly I'm going to have to disagree, I hardly remember excalibur and it was most likely extremely boring and pointless, but I bet it's still better than the offensively bad in every way Elf arc, which is to this date the only anime arc I would ever give a 1/10 to.

Yeah you might be right. Excalibur was a bad and boring arc that didn't actually have anything to do with the story. But alfheim had everything bad about sao combined into one arc fanservice, rape scenes, plot armor, bad character writing, incest...

but even if you say so, that just means that the OP side of Kirito is the fanservice, I couldn't find any other thing that just please fans. Bro being Overpowered isn't a fanservice, even if it is he is a little OP till the ending of Alicization, all battles are not just easy for him, almost all, he just win by a little.

And tell me how does Kirito provide only fanservice

Bruh, how can you say Caliber is better than FD arc when you don't even know it?? FD arc isn't bad, even if it is probably very much better than Caliber

The fact that I hardly remember it shows me that it's forgettable and below average, and probably a pointless side filler. But the fact that I do remember the Elf arc and that I remember it being absolutely horrendous tells me that one left no impact on me, and one left a highly negative impact on me. The negative one is probably far worse.

i understood what fanserVice is but mostly ecchi pleases fams. That's why I was asking, if you don't agree with the guy I quoted earlier who said Kirito was for fanservice then no need to reply anymore

only 1 EP of FD arc is bad and it isn't Elf arc, Caliber also have Elf, The Fairy Dance arc is very much better than The side story Caliber. Fairy Dance arc was emotional and sad only 1 ep is bad just and even when Oberon tried to rape Asuna he just couldn't, Kirito killed him mercilessly and also defeated him irl and sent him jail. If you think something is bad tell me what is it? Because Perfect Blue, F/SN HF, Idaten tachi and others have worse rapes and actual rapes. SAO didn't have heavy incest, Monogatari, NGNL, Irregular hade 2x incest compared to SAO.
