Is it just me or does Alicization feel like a Fate sequel rather than an SAO sequel. So many things are similar to Fate starting from Alice, the knights system and the animation quality. I felt this right from the beginning but never thought about it. Lol

How is that anything like Fate? Just because there's a blonde female knight?

I don't know if it feels like Fate or not. Probably because of Alice.

But one thing I can tell, it certainly doesn't feel like the original SAO. Lol
Maybe that's because of the goriness, the loss of video game elements etc.

OK, I get one more similarity with Fate. The Archer Knight is a lot similar to the Archers. XD

There is no concrete evidence that Kawahara had not conceptualized the Alicization arc beforehand. Also, I'm not seeing how it is a "fate rip-off." Integrity Knights are not servants. Enhance Armament and Release Recollection are not Noble Phantasms. The most I'll give you is that Alice looks like Saber, true, but their personas and motives are entirely different. Saying the arc as a whole is a rip-off of Fate because it has knights and special powers is contrived at best.

Well, whether either of the two is a "rip-off" of the other or not, it's going to be pretty tough deciding which of them is gonna hold their water against the other in spring.

Lol. Here comes the Fate fanboys. OP never stated it's a Fate rip off. He just feels it has far more similarities to Fate rather than the original SAO. He is disjointing SAO from Alicization. Not joining Fate to it. He is using Fate just as a measure of the difference and I feel that's true stating it's way more different than SAO.

They're not even remotely similar. This is a bad comparison.

First of all, Fate didn't have a playboy as a protagonist.

Second, no.It's not similar to Fate at all.

It feels more similar to Bleach, the Integrity Knights seem more similar to the Captains. And the Armament Full Control Art reminds me of the Zampakutou's Shikai and Bankai.

How about we get back on topic, as I doubt the OP meant for this to become a love-hate fight. No need for either the SAO-lovers or FATE-lovers to spew hate toward the other. Everyone can just state their opinion without having to throw hate toward the other party.

I completely agree with you. While I have never seen fate, as someone who read all the light novels of SAO I can confirm that from the alicization arc the style of the story did change. From the research that I did, it seemed that Reki Kawahara wanted to listen to the complaints people made, especially regarding the Gun Gale Online season.
Though I do think that in some parts the anime adaptation is making some changes that may not be needed (i.e. the larger amount of gore that is present), I do have to say that I like the direction in which the series is going. In all fairness though, the light novels that I read were all fan translated so they may not be completely accurate.

As a last note I want to state that people should not look at the quality of the anime, but the actual story and content. The series is based on a light novel and the anime only serves as a visual interpretation of the makers of the anime and to draw more attention to the light novel series.

Ehhhhh... Fate's writing isn't that trash and the characters are somewhat decent. Eugeo is the closest you get to Fate route Shirou who is the worst Shirou imo.

zero is good, but that's because it's not written by nasu, but an actual competent writer
heavens feel however is utter trash, the characters are all annoying and painfully cringy, the story is trash as well

Most of Fate/Zero was written and planned by Nasu, the only original things about F/Z that Urobuchi wrote were the characters of Maiya and Rider.

And I love how you didn't even bother to explain why the story is trash lol.
