Sword art online used to be extremely popular. However, it had a big downfall in season 2. Plenty of people treat it like nothing is worse than it. The show is average for me, I cannot see a show like this being one of the worst.

Well,a lot of people hate it,what can we do? They're free to hate it too. It's not like fan will disappear. Me too though it was good for the first half of s1,and the rest just nonsense to me. But I never hate it to the point I would called it garbage.

The show is pretty solid tbh I wouldn’t say one of the best though but enjoyed it a lot. Ppl love hating on stuff just to hate on it without giving valid reasons.

Man I very much like Sao. Every anime has haters and lovers it's common. But if you hate some anime then you shouldn't say it's worst or overrated just say it's not good in my opinion. Tbh Sao is one of my favorite anime.

No it's not. It's closer to being the worst than it is to being the best. And also Kirito is in the top10 worst mcs for me.

I started watching SAO with my brother and I actually enjoyed it. Then… there was the part with fairy world and I wanted to drop it. For ME It would be great anime If the author ended it in a first half of first season and did not extend it until the fairy world part. So in my opinion SAO would be sooo fire 12-13 episode anime.

Exactly. These shows are not the best, but they are far from being bad. Its just that decide to shit about any show if it gets popular.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Because it's a very popular opinion and people tend to blindly follow popular opinions. Look at MHA and KNY, they are not masterpieces but not garbage either. But around 61k people have this in their favourites and more than 260k people have given it a 10.

Well, I think thats not the main problem, how I said above, It would be great anime but some parts just ruined it, Thats clearly my opinion. Obviously the thing which you said 'bout MHA and KNY, they are overrated, I second that but what can we do ? There is so many NEW anime watchers which started watching in quarantine or something and mostly they will start with a new gen anime which do have hype.

Explain to me why it is. Cause I can't find any other reason apart from the soundtrack and animation.

Actually animation isn't so good, i would say it supllies what is needed. But yeah, soundtrack, Yuki Kajiura is awesome, story, like all the arcs are connected and also have their own pourpose, characters like Asuna, Yuuki, Alice, Eugeo, Quinella, (Kazuto it's an all right mc, neither good or bad), interesting questions like interesting questions about the rights of an artificial intelligence, and other stuffs.
Basically, it's good because i'm saying it is, and that being my opinion, it won't be the words of a hater that will change my mind. So don't waste your time trying to get others to share your opinion just because you don't like it. If you don't agree, ok, that's just your opinion, so just ignore what i think and Live a happy life. I also tend to ignore what i don't like, but only replied because you directed the message directly to me, anyway, i have a little to blame too.
Also don't tell me to "watch more anime to see something that's really good", because I've seen a lot of them and my opinion of Sword Art Online remains the same. That's it, if you don't agree, then just have a nice day, i have more things to do.

Don't worry man, the important thing is what you think, the opinion of others shouldn't change anything in how someone sees your preferences.
And SAO is also personally my favorite anime, they'll probably talk more shit about me, but i don't even care ;v.

I agree, it's obvious that there are flaws. I also forgot that people can genuinely give it 1 because the flaws ruined the anime for them. I apologize for writing that. I also agree on what you said about hype. Demon Slayer was already becoming popular during the end of 2019 and the quarantine helped to boost its popularity. When something suddenly gains so much hype, then it's pretty obvious that it won't be able to satisfy everyone.

Right there isn't like any anime or tv show, serial, book, manga whatever without flaws or mistakes
cuz everyone likes something different and I can agree with you that flaws or mistakes can ruin the show BUT there are actually (unfortunetly) people which rate it with ''1'' and I feel like these people are total ignorants or trollers like when somebody for fun rate boku no pico with ''10''. But there will always be someone like that, unfortunetly.

I enjoy it personally. I find it quite a fun enjoyable show it definitely has flaws though. The biggest issues was definitely in the Alpham online or Fairy Dance arc. But the rest is alright in my opinion. As for it being overrated I completely agree. Everyone acts like it’s the worst show ever but if SAO is what you consider the worst ever you have never seen truely poor quality anime ever because there are plenty of shows way worse than SAO. People are free and I hate it or not like it but don’t get up on your high horse and act like it is the worst anime you’ve ever seen because it definitely isn’t. But yeah it’s way too hated for the type of show it is. If even it’s haters can admit the animation is solid or the concept is intresting it already has a leg up compared to other terrible show. Point is way too hated.

Not a lot if people shit on or hate MHA. The most I’ve heard is people think it’s overrated or they hate Deku or don’t like a good chunk of the fan base. Which is not the same as hating MHA and I think are all valid points in my opinion. Although some elitists do think the anime is normie trash but elitists tend hate anything that isn’t to their standards and shit on shows before giving them a proper chance. I’ve yet to hear someone besides an elitist say MHA is literally trash though unless you can give me examples of it.

It's not by any means the worst. It has some flaws. Severe flaws, which drag overall quality in the long run.
For example, the infamous quality drop between first and second arc is HUGE. Only comparable to Promised Neverland.

Honestly, I liked sao only until the end of Sword Art Online game. And Gun Gale Online was fine too, but idk, I didn't like ALO. I didn't watch SAO:alicization yet, so I can't tell, if it is good. And yea, SAO is overhated

Imagine getting such polarizing views on an anime. That's when you know it's gained some popularity. When the voices from both side of the extremes start drumming their beats.

As for me, I like the concept of the world, but not so much the singular plot beats that focus only on Kirito. Ended up enjoying Alicization up until Kirito stepped back in. But overall, it's alright in my book.

sao is the only anime with characters that have no sense of the story. you can basically delete all the girls from the anime and it wouldn't make a difference.

Imo SAO would’ve been ten times better if it focused on the time everyone spent in Aincrad instead of skipping 50 floors and then going to the next arc which I believe brought most of the hate.

Yes. Like any other anime,SAO had a few flaws,albeit,major ones. But refusing the appreciate the greater good part of the anime solely because of that minority flaw is unfair. Many other animes have also sufffered the same fate,e.g,MHA,Black Clover

It was average and decent to me till the first half of the season that it started shit jng around it's not probably worse show ever but imo it's just bad you are free to like whatever you want who didn't enjoy it will hate it and who did will like it that's the simple as that
