I agree but not for the same reason.
Anime is entertainment, the Earth is much more important so yes I believe that cleaning up this world is more important than entertainment.

But since you are doing a direct attack on this show alone then obviously all the money that was used to buy you food, clothes and allow you to have some kind of education was completely wasted if you can't understand simple principle like everyone is entitled to like what they want.

The show sold a lot meaning a lot of people were and are ready to pay for it. No matter how you perceive it, it's a commercial success and even if it's nothing more than that, your opinion (or anyone else's) will not change that.

Even though SAO was very flawed in some aspects, they still made a LOT of money from it. The way i see it, SAO 2 is probably going to be very similar to the first. After all, its not about having a good plot or character development. Its about the money, so the more fanservice it has, the more fans it has, the more haters it has(not like the producers give a shit) and the more money they get.

!@#$ this, they won't even follow the manga, it's not like they followed it in the previous season.. the previous season was overrated and made a huge hype but this time m sure that it won't work out.. lol unless they make an original story without any disgusting romance in it..


-SAO isn't adapted from a manga but from a light novel
-SAO did follow the light novel for the whole season
-Romance is part of SAO's success, remove it and now it there're chances it won't sell.

You're free to say whatever you want but at least try to get your facts right.

But I'm sorry to inform you that this subconscious teenager fantasy is still not good writing even if you love it. Is it so hard to admit that you like bad writing?

This is why I loved the anime. The LN was so much under my reading standards that I couldn't come to read it. The anime, however, is a nice show and is imo the best support to enjoy the SAO universe :)

So, assuming that the LN indeed that bad, the anime which is even worse is better?


Maybe the anime as bad when it comes to preserving the entire source material, but better for non-LN readers because of the changed timeline that at least tries to give SAO a feeling of progression instead of being just a collection of scenes created to cater to a specific crowd?

It isnt like "shitty"series were always coming out EVERY year since anime were made.

I'm starting to get curious if the people who are clamoring the idea that anime are getting more "shitty" in recent years have actually been paying attention to anime for 10 years back or so. The so-called "shitty" shows have actually been around far, far longer before i was born (I'm still 20 year old as of now). The only differences is that there are much more anime produced in recent years, added with the boom of internet, making the "shitty" shows stand out more than they ever did before. Granted, i'm willing to bet that most people here even had no idea that vast majority of OVAs produced on early 80s were of hardcore rape hentai (with tentacle rape being the most prominent)

Your "opinion" is fucking retarded since you have no idea what you are talking about, not about SAO but about anime in general.What I argue about with Nidhoeggr or any other user has nothing to do with that.And no If I was picking a fight with everyone that express their opinion then I would have 100000 posts or I would be perm banned.

Sturgeon's Law is a wonderful thing, too bad most people forget about it. However, the content is clearly targeted at a more niche audience now when we look at most titles who are produced right now. But that is only a symptom of demographic changes going on in Japan right now.

While I agree with you on that, there is a clean difference between expressing discontent and saying bullshit.

When you don't like something it is perfectly acceptable to say why but sometime some people are so... weird.
Saying they don't like a show because of X flaws while these X flaws are also in their favorite shows is hypocritical.
Saying they don't like a show because of a X element that isn't even present in the said show but come from assumption is not only stupid, it's also misleading for anyone that read their posts.
Saying that a show is bad because of it's fan-base, trying to sound funny or to simply ride onto some bandwagon is unnecessary

I also dislike when people like something simply because everyone else is liking it or are praising some interpretative quality like everyone should like as much as them.

While I think that debate are important, I also think that most people on MAL aren't able to hold one properly and if I have to choose between having someone say bullshit in a hate post or a nonsensical love post, I'll take the love post.

True, all of my favourites have some pretty big flaws and I can't stand this hipster attitude either. I could easily list tons of flaws in one Piece and I would never put it out of my favourites just because it happens to be the bestselling manga of all time (which sadly happened to a another person I know irl as soon as they heard how big OP is). And I couldn't choose, both are hyperboles of acceptable opinions turned into absurdity at times.

You're trying to be funny, which you're not, stop.

Answering your question, I dislike people who seem erudite and scholarly but just use it to mock others, it seriously makes me question human nature here, and this is coming from someone who does well in school and knows a lot of the stuff they're using to mock SAO fans. SAO hate is probably the prime example of this.

Read my previous post regarding the issue, it's one thing to utilize learned ideals, but to use it to mock people shouldn't be how it's done if you're going by the said philosophies of some of them. I just don't find it classy, I find it shallow.


Not being funny at all, only simply pointing out how hypocritical you seem to be.

If you get easily angered, offended, or pass someone off as simply mocking because someone repeated what you said to prove a point, I'm afraid the internet is not the place for you. Truthfully, socializing may not be for you.

All you seem to be doing, is using SAO hate, to "hate" SAO haters.

You do well in school, Congratulations. I hope you earn your diploma/degree/whatever. Book smarts, however, doesn't equate to social skills though.

EDIT: I know you'll probably read this again, but if you're going to post comments degrading others, you might want to be prepared to back it up and be able to respond to criticism. All the same, you may delete your comments, but they are still quoted within my responses.

Good luck on your education though. If you're in college, I recommend a public speaking course as an elective, it'll improve your skillset, trust me.

I think he actually made the big mistake to take MAL posts seriously. Or Internet seriously.

People mock other show's and fan's taste all the time, why SAO would be any different? It is fun to Hate, we all get that.

For some reason, I don´t think this will happen, as much as I wanted it to. I mean, Asuna is a minor character in this arc, or so I´ve heard. Unless they pair Kirito with other girls, I really don´t see any good romance coming out of this season :/

No, there won't be any romance this season, Sinon (Shino) develops feelings for Kirito near the end of this Arc, however other then that, there's no romance, however there are also the Mothers Rosario and Caliber arcs which are being rumored to appear in this season which will have romance between Asuna and Kirito/Kazuto
