Lightstone said: They are my favorites in there own seasons. By the way who is this girl in your profile picture? She looks like sister of Konno Yuuki. My profile picture is Haqua from the manga/anime series The World God only Knows. |
 |
| Here are my reasons (Keep in mind, I haven't seen S2, movie nor Alicization yet): 1. It's a good anime in my opinion. 2. I loved playing MMORPG games so it caught my attention. 3. I actually enjoyed the romance between Kirito and Asuna. 4. Soundtrack is one of the bests. As expected of Yuki Kajiura. It's definitely not a masterpiece (I can list all the stuff I disliked about SAO) but I still enjoyed it. |
 Help, I'm hooked into the Fate series (not all) and am obsessed with Shirou x Saber! Also, forever hoping for a ufotable remake of the Fate route! |
| I was an alpha toram online player back then when I first watched it. It's really nostalgic, both the game and the anime. I miss those days. |
| Huh...? Just how is Python a language specialized in AI? It's just a popular language, which is likely why famous machine learning libraries like Tensorflow and PyTorch were developed for it, but the language itself is not specialized in AI in any way. Heck, I wish it was specialized, since that would probably make them unlock multithreading... Imo SAO is just worse if you look at it from a programmer's perspective, since you can tell just how unrealistic they're being. |
| I was raised playing video games so it really connected with me. "Soul" reasons ;) |
 |
| It's a fun adventure/fantasy story with a good twist. The trap in a video game might be a meme today and some like to say it wasn't the first to do it which is true but it wasn't that popular at the time. The music is really good the character design are cool with sinon's being great. |

Imo SAO is just worse if you look at it from a programmer's perspective, since you can tell just how unrealistic they're being. Python is most commonly used for Machine Learning and Data Science. But it is a general purpose programming language it can be used for other things as well like web development(Django), IoT stuff. You can get very creative if you pair it with linux there's a lot of stuff you can do. It's also not difficult to learn when compared with other programming languages this is probably the reason it's taught at universities as a fist programming language so much. Things don't always have to be realistic in order to be enjoyable take movie hackers(1995) for instance it's very unrealistic representation of hacking but it's still charming and enjoyable. Yeah, I've actually been using it for doing some deep learning at work but I just wanted to point out that rather than being specialized in ML, it's a general high level language as you said. Idk, to me personally I found hacking in TV shows much more entertaining when I didn't know how it was done IRL. If I watch them nowadays my brain just keeps screaming at how inaccurate they are. Although I agree on the general idea of not having to be realistic, it certainly did impact my experience negatively. |
| The concept of virtual reality. The openings. Maybe the MMORPG aspect. These are the only reasons I kind of like SAO |
| woah there |
My sole reason that I was interested in it was for the premise of being stuck in a video game and having to clear 100 floors to escape, so needless to say I was disappointed.
So I think the main reason I was let down is because it was tied to adapting the light novels. I know that light novels are a popular source material for anime because they have an existing fanbase that want to see those stories animated, but I think the only way I would like SAO is if the concept could be totally divorced from the light novel stories and, tbh, turned into more of a generic Naruto-esque shounen. |

Solar_Ray said: Yea you are right Kirito is that type of character and I also love him very much because of his selflessness. His humanity development is the best thing I loved in the whole series that's why my most favorite part of SAO is season 1 part 1.Lightstone said: I am describing in points because it's so easy for me. My reasons: 1. I am a programmer (I am mentioning Python because it's specialized in AI) 2. I am a huge/great gamer. (I can't even mention publishers here because they are too many but I can mention a high difficulty strategy game which is played at International level, DOTA 2: https://youtu.be/3k-cTvUwioc) 3: I like romance and tragic stories. (Those where everyone have their own dreams) 4: Soundtracks and Art. (Always my best reasons) Post edit: It's "sole" not "soul". I agree with your points. I’m a gamer as well, the romance is neat. The female MC is a bad ass, but not in a rude way. There’s some tragedy, and some logic in the division of this online game relative to the real world. A selfless mc. |

SuguChan said: Yes it's hard to choose which character is the best, I remember this is same as when I thought about the characters of Kokoro ga Sakebitagatterunda(Also Created by A-1 Pictures).Lightstone said: Alice (The best), Asuna and Sugu are my waifus from SAO series. :D Ah yes, Alice. She's great, too! :) In fact, SAO has so many great female characters from Suguha/Leafa, to Asada/Sinon, to Asuna, to Rika, to Sachi, to Selka, it's hard to love just one! :D But I still think Sugu-chan is best girl! |

Well, people do like trash, a lot. I myself do like a lot the Inazuma Eleven franchise although it is based from a videogame and it's not because it is good or anything, but just because I played the games a lot when I was younger and watched the show on TV. |

| It's interesting how nowadays most people are like "it was an ok show, nothing special, but nothing too bad". I on the other hand still dislike almost every aspect of SAO (granted, I only watched the first season and 1 episode of SAO 2). First of all the story is literally fan fiction tier, if not worse. I don't mind a simple story if it's told well, but SAO comes off as if the author didn't give a single shit. And I don't see how the technical aspect saves it. It looks like every other A1 pictures anime and the world is as generic as it gets. The music is okay, but it's very underwhelming if you're familiar with the composers older work such as the music in .Hack, like this one: |

| I'm gonna be original here: The OST. It's good. It's great. And also the Gun Gale arc was quite fun. The rest is okay, I guess |
| Oregairu is life |
| I know a lot of people hate on SAO but personally I like the animation style, the world building and the soundtrack. The holes in the storyline lessens the shows appeal imo, but certain parts of the different seasons were done amazingly and will be some of my favourite moments watching an anime show (when the unwell girl, Yuuki, i think her name was died, and everyone in Alfheim flew down to pay their respects to her at the Tree - beautiful imagery). I enjoyed SAO Alizication more than I expected to, although all the flux-light business got a bit tangled and un-realistic, but overall an enjoyable viewing experience and looking forward to SAO Underworld. |

Bunsuke said: I personaly thought about what are the requirements to make an AI like "Yui", so I found out that it can easily take lifetime of a person to made her. And about Kawahara, he doesn't know much about programming, but he know about gaming at least, because he wants this game to be in the real life. I think he knows that this game is the most difficult thing to be created in the world of technology but perhaps he made SAO series so people can gain motivation to struggle to create a game like SAO??Lightstone said: My reasons: 1.

| Dont' like it. It's sexist bs just watch mothers basement video on it. |
  Never explain, Never retract, Never apologize Just get the thing done And let them howl |
| Mother's Basement's thoughts are very low because he lives in basement and never got a chance to look at the beauties of the sky. |
