Sword Art Online (light novel)
| Hey guys. I know this is pretty random, maybe posted before, but am I the only one who thinks that SAO is a harem in disguise. E.g. Most mains love Kirito. Plenty of girls to go around. etc. I'm not even really sure why it hasn't been considered a harem yet. I believe the series had alot of potential but could have been A LOT better. I mean the fact that the anime became more of an OP nerd in a video game in a harem situation which then lead to the need for fan service with Asuna, a really awful villan and another member to the harem family which involves incest and a pretty lame plot. Maybe the manga is better, I don't know, haven't read it yet. BUT. This is purely my opinion and although I am difficult with this anime, a part of me wants to be reminded of the good parts I guess. So, tell me your opinions on SAO and the harem subject, and whether you like SAO or not! ^^ |
| If you know what a harem is at all then it it's easy to tell it's a harem. If they were disguising it they did a bad job of it. My opinion on SAO: Don't hate it, don't love it, I like it. Was fun to watch, even if it could have been better. |

| It has harem elements, though they aren't the focus, and the main couple is wedlocked instead of Kirito being indecisive. I liked SAO but it had too many story inconsistencies and one-off side characters. In the SAO half, though, the characters are at least genuine compared to the caricatures of the ALO half. But the ALO devoted its focus to the characters who matter, so that's something. Kirito's OPness is overstated since it wasn't uncommon for situations to come up where strength wasn't the solution or where he barely scrapped out alive; the latter moments work because of how strong he normally is. Though really SAO's biggest problem is that Accel World exists. The former was the author's first light novel (2002 VS 2008) and it...shows its age next to the latter. |

| It's not a harem. |
| Despite many eye rolling inducing scenes I still enjoyed the show and I can't wait to watch season 2. It's not terrible, it's not fantastic, it's kind of average, generic even. It's just fun to watch it's hard to put a word in place for it |
 |
| People have been calling SAO a harem since it was airing. It's just not "officially" a harem because it manages to be borderline enough. |
| I noticed the harem in disguise as well |
