I have only watched through episode 18 so far but I've pretty much kept up with people's comments about this show since I love it so much. I notice alot of people who don't really seem to like Asuna very much and like Suguha much more. Honestly, I don't see why. I really don't want this show to turn into a brother-sister love story. Asuna is a great female lead in my opinion and is much more enjoyable to the story than Suguha. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but I would like to hear from both sides of this.

It's usually zero to hero but instead she goes from hero to zero. I don't dislike her or anything though. Not that I favor her either.

Because she was introduced to the audience as a strong, capable, independent female but she turned out to be the exact opposite. On top of that, she is frequently used as a fap fodder.
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

I think marrying your cousin is legal in Japan.

Not sure if this have change, but for Chinese, it's okay "if" your cousin's father is not blood related to your father.

something like this.

Grandpa ===> Dad ===> Dad's Brother(uncle, main branch) ===> Cousin = No
Grandpa ===> Dad ===> Dad's sister (Aunt, main branch) ===> Cousin = Okay
Grandpa ===> Mom ======> Any daugher of mom's sibling's = Okay

In short, you just can't marry cousins with the same last name.

The question should be...

Why are you(SchmidytheMini) an Asuna fan?

I'm very intrigue, as I don't see a single appeal in Asuna, both her design and character don't do it for me, oh yeah... She cooks, that's a plus... (Asuna is as appealing as an average female chef and that's it for me)

The LN and the Anime says, that she is rich, really rich.... and beautiful. I think that are 2 BIG reaosons, which can be counted.

Personally I like much more the LN Asuna.

The big problem is like paul said, she goes from hero to zero.

She was Asuna the Flash, the Berseeker, etc.

Then she becomes the poor prisioner girl in the tower waiting for her "prince" to rescue her... come on, if kiritos stats were transfered from SAO, Asuna stats should also be, she could have kicked the ass out of those fucking slugs.

I think that LN Asuna still has some resemblance with what she used to be inside SAO.

But maybe if the animate Mother Rosario they could redeem her :D

So you guys like her because she's rich and beautiful?

You guys are big fans of Sawachika Eri, Chitanda Eru and the likes too?

" if kiritos stats were transfered from SAO, Asuna stats should also be, she could have kicked the ass out of those fucking slugs."
Asuna isnt a real player in ALO so she hasnt got ANY stats.Sugou's fault not hers.She is more like an object within the game than a player(inb4 being sexist)

"But maybe if the animate Mother Rosario they could redeem her"

Not a chance.That failed even in the LN because Kawahara added Konno Yuuki as a second MC next to Asuna.Sure she gets some development but she is entirely overshadowed by motherfucking Zekken(Konno Yuuki).

btw I dont hate Asuna.It's just that I prefer every other girl(just like with Saber in fate/)
Even Kayaba's assistant,Koujiro Rinko is more interesting for me.

I never said I liked Asuna, i only said, that being rich is a good point.
And you shouldn't compare me to the guys, who really liked Asuna and I am pretty sure, they don't like her for the big money.
But if I had to guess, they would simply like her because she is the main character and so precious to Kirito and that means, that she has to be imba, something like that.
But in general: Don't dare to attack Chitanda Eru! I really liked that character, her scary eyes and the whole anime. Well, you can write anything SAO you like I don't care, but I will protect all animes, I like, for example Hyouka! But I think that is clear.

*PUKE* seriously......

Asuna has much more class and isn't a fanservice slut like Suguha so I like her a lot more. I'm starting actually to hate Suguha because she's retarded enough to make a character who reveals her boobs like that and people hyping her here because of her boobs is making me sick.

You go to Hyouka Forum...

And find 1 post of mine that made fun of Hyouka, then we'll talk!!

Hyouka, in my opinion, is still the best show 2012 has to offer so far. And btw, FYI

I do like both Chitanda Eru and Sawachika Eri. I'm naming the rich and beautiful girls, NOT "RICH, BEAUTIFUL, AND SHITTY"

get it right.

Yes, I have played WoW and Guild Wars 2. Yes, WoW has that issue but not that bad as ALO. What comes to GW2... Well they've managed to make a game where you can create a char that has small boobs (and not showing anywhere) and there are 2 races completely without boobs(!) . That game isn't sexist at all and I love that side of the game very much.

Ps. I'm not lesbian, just so sick and tired of men treating women as sex objects.

This is the reason why most romantic novels end at the wedding. One, it's because the relationship generally becomes boring (Tolstoy's famous opening line from Anna Karenina: "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way"). Two, because people don't want them to have sex (Milan Kundera makes a great observation about this in "Immortality"). And three, there is a great deal of projection that goes on when people read or watch a show (Asuna is obviously taken, so outside of NTR fantasies, she doesn't appeal like the fresh Suguha does).

I know this sounds like so much pyscho-babble, but it does allow you to predict the behavior of most people fairly well. Try it out sometime.

I dont really care about Asuna being with Kirito.
The problem is that Asuna doesnt change that much through the course of the story.Being lovey-dovey with Kirito wasnt that much of a change.

Her best character development is in Aria(which was skipped in the anime and isnt included in the published original SAO),Mother Rosario, and that part in Alicization.

But still, I cant like her as much as the others.Even though Silica and Liz had even less char development....

hate is a strong word buddy.

As little as I cared for the characters in there, I still wouldn't go as far as claiming I hated them.

I don't hate Asuna at all. I think she is actually strong. The only arc where she is helpless is this ALO one and that is no fault of her own. She is a core character of SAO, so if you don't like her at all maybe it would be better if you don't watch the other seasons lol.
