Sword Art Online (light novel)
| This second part of the season is incredible. There are still twists and fantastic events, moreover, the animations and music are the best I've ever seen so far. (regarding OST, in my opinion, only AoT is better) Sorry for the bad english :) I'm italian |

| I think it's alright, I haven't been the biggest fan of the whole Alicization season but I've been kinda hyped to see how our boy ends up at the end of all this. |
 hey you found me how'd you do that |
| After Winx Fairies bullshit and genderbent Kirito taking edginess to the whole new level, it would require some sort of talent to make it worse, but Alicization is indeed an upgrade. Most likely because Kirito, which is one the worst written characters ever written, spent second half of it in catatonic state, while the first fixed everything that was wrong with predecessors. But those unnecessary rape scenes... |

| Well how much did you like the other seasons of SAO? Considering I found them mediocre at best, downright bad at worst, I sincerely doubt this new season would be much of an outlier. Even if there's a cool fight scene, the mind numbing plot holes, plot armor, the Gary Stu/harem shit would bring it right back down. It was like this from Season 1, Episode 1, to the moment Asune miraculously took on a Goddess account that the researchers just conveniently "forgot" about, which is as much as I can remember about the last season. |

| I'd say it's pretty average in every aspect |
Oeufhbpi said: After the first season, I don't think anyone with a couple hundred brain cells would go on to watch the second season I have too much time sadly, or maybe I lost my brain cells already I watching it, but I gave first season around 3 rate if I remember correctly. |
| This season of SAO reminds me of Fate Stay Night. I do think it is the best season so far. |
 |
| Nah dude there is a lot of things that are just objectively bad here. It's obvious that author kun trys to improve his writing and stuff but the thing about spawning people in from outside just makes litterally no sense. The plan to get kirito back is 1 really more a nice guess at something that sounds possible in a philosophy class. Not something actually applicable. And the way the idea was introduced was pretty awful. Instead of building the idea in an interesting and engaging way we get ScientistSu GuySU just guess the solution correctly while wasting a huge portion on the episode on it . Edit: not to mention the incredibly dragged out ecchi scene |

| I've only ever considered the Mother's Roasrio arc to be the only actual good thing about SAO prior to the Alicization arc. That being said, the Alicization arc so far has been quite a blast to watch and easily tops the content of the previous arcs so i'm hoping its finale doesn't disappoint. |
 |
| Btw adding to the list First half of the underworld war had 2 really cool death scenes for characters nobody cares about. Like Imagine the impact if we actually gave a something on the death of >roadblock cocky student< and >female knight that exists for 1 Scene< |
| I defiantly agree that the animation is amazing and the fights look awesome however I wouldn't say that the whole war of the underworld hasn't been as good as the first half of alisization in my opinion. But obviously it hasn't finished yet so I imagine the best bits are yet to come!! |
Oeufhbpi said: ReegrezSNK said: I have too much time sadly, or maybe I lost my brain cells already I watching it, but I gave first season around 3 rate if I remember correctly. No one would want to waste their time. I believe you lost a few brain cells while watching it. That is understandable, however. You have to remember you can find on this site a lot of people who have average score 4.0 or less ( which means Bad) and they have watched 20000 episodes of anime so I guess people love waste thier time. For me personally great animation its enough to waste 20 minutes per week to watch it, even if story and characters are average or even bad. |
| I kind of lost interest after the last season. People were talking about how amazing Alicization is and how I should totally go back to SAO for it and it was a mixed bag, definitely had its moments, but it was still plagued by a good chunk of the issues that were present since the very first season. It's a little frustrating because SAO seems to be right up my alley, I really want to like it, but I always end up not being able to. |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |

| Just going to add some points that I mentioned on discuss that are just weird at best with the current season .may be a bit out of context but I'm not typing all of that again xD initely liked the first halt of alicization more >nobody asking any questions about how #savetheunderworld makes litteraly no sense at all. "ouh no . our servers were hacked. so instead of taking them down and fixing the issue we ask randoms on the internet to go into our beta . wich would be pointless against hackers but whatever " the most logcial explanation is that this is supposed to be a PR stunt. Doubt it would really trick anybody XD >well fair enough for how they got there. But even so the self image hypothesis is a crazy leap of logic that a scientist would not just "guess" the idea explored here is something that anime toys arround with from time to time. That by giving someone an idea of what they are collected based on what others know you could recreate how this person is. but that is just an idea that itself has many questionable factors . very likely resulting in something that kiritos friends think he is instead of making an self image that actually is 100% how kirito viewd himself. the way it is presented here is just " hey this is like that , correct ?" ( btw also spending so much time of an episode just having science-guy guess the solution correctly is not good writing. you could have build that idea up and explored it in so many interesting ways but i guess the expo dump is easier. there is another issue with the idea of transferring accounts from game A to Game B . Well in the first place if that was possible there is no need for using the vector account at all. "yes but tiger its so op :o " fair point but i will get to that in a sec . its going to be much more obvious why not being compatable was my assumtion. because allowing this opens arround 50 new cans full of worms that dont make sense the way accounts or save data is stored is not determined by the engine it is running on. its fair to assume that SAO might have been build in this way to make it easier for future games coming from this seed . But if that is the case then that would mean accounts( or save data to be more accurate in a context like this ) is client side. meaning that it is not data from the game itself interacting with the player and their client but data provided by the client that is on side of the player. wich is enforced by how the underworld was basically offline for the longest time and just went online accepting new players just fine. on that note. since underworld was offline for so long giving Access to it to new people implies that either side would have control over that feature. if the Roppongi branch has this kind of influence on the sea turtle they should be able to shut vector and gang out . and prevent them from getting players in. if the controll is on vectors side however ( wich may be more likely as they are there) they could shut the other side out . or you know . they could cut the internet connection altogether and just duke it out without the influence of outside sources there is another issue with items that comes with the idea of account transfer. Games data is not shared by games . different games running on the same engine still have different codes and different sets of data. we see that Kirito trows away all his sao items when comming to alfheim because he fears the risk of getting banned for cheating ( wich yet again enforces the idea of save modification) . mind you that alfeim is litteraly a slightly modified reskin of sao yet those problems accoured. but underworld being a very obviously very different type of game has no problem with having items transfered ? doubt . we see kiritos friends bringing all their stuff with them back to the idea of client side save states. wich opens it up to modification. We see that in games that actually do work this way. Nothing would be stopping you from creating software ( or a game for that matter) that easily gives you the option to overlevel yourself. In real life this issue is usually handled by the games company counteracting those manipulations. Dark Souls for example doesnt like players hacking in items or making absurd unkillable characters so they ban you if they notice this sort of save modification. But nobody governs the underworld like this. contrary actually. if we assume that the Roppongi branch supports this interference of the rejected-women-club and co then that would basically mean that the game devs support the save manipulation and could allow to make them however overpowerd they want to be. on that note. remodelling terrain having a straining effect on the brain does not really make sense. if the processing is done by Underworld why would if affect your brain ? its only there so asuna doesnt abuse that power . but as we just laid out. if Accounts and Save data are compatible there is really no need for any of that since you could just make an overpowered character . you can try to explain that away but its just going to open up new cans of worms. |

| There's no point in taking SAO's plot overly seriously. Anyone with even a cursory knowledge of computers and networks would instantly see how silly it is. But let's not focus on that. No one expected SAO's writers to be computer scientists, or even interview them. For instance, for a top secret government project, where the only subjects are local (e.g. Kirito and everyone in that cube), why was the game online in the first place? Why wouldn't it be safely on a local network, with incompatible protocols as the internet -- which the military uses today? If we want to talk plot holes like this, we could go all day, but it's not even the most egregious ones that involve internal world consistency. |
| My subjective reviews: katsureview.wordpress.com THE CHAT CLUB. |
| Disagree. The first arc of Alicization got me intrigued, made me thought SAO could finally have some good writing and plot for once. It goes downhill and become repetitive/ predictable after they start climbing the dumb tower. Plot gets thinner the deeper the season goes. Not to mention that totally out of place tentacle rape. All it has is good OST, sometimes good animation, and good character design. JustMonaka said: Is it a meme to say that the new season of SAO is amazing? Because people have been saying that since season 2, and said season 2 turned out even worse than season 1. And season 3 even worse than Season 2 XD. When they fight the dark territory at least it feels distinct in some regard for the enemy side of thing. Though the plot is thin, at least is enjoyable. This season fighting a bunch of nameless faceless nobody and old characters really gets boring. |

| How many girls are in the Kirito harem now? I dropped the series a couple episodes into season 2 and I think it was like 7? |

MixedSignals said: Well, they're still inventing ways to increase the harem. The latest story traps Kirito in another game without Asuna and erases all his memory, conveniently.How many girls are in the Kirito harem now?

And sure Sao was never really realistic but it gets to the point where the fans have to explain away stuff that makes no sense wich then in Turn opens more plotholes and just goes on and on There are many other issues besides plotholes like that. |
CuteAssTiger said: Then how did they get tens of thousands of players to magically dive into that world? One would have to assume that the system has network capabilities, which is a terrible idea for a top secret project. And assuming they needed a direct interface with Kirito's soul to experience that game, how would bandwidth work for anyone connecting remotely, never mind tens of thousands of players simultaneously? For such a project, for someone to be able to just sit down and "hack" the terminal is pretty ridiculous to begin with.katsucats said: There's no point in taking SAO's plot overly seriously.

This reminds me of when Iron Man discovered time travel by finding "the eigenvalue of a Mobius strip", which is a geometrical conclusion (fairly simple one at that) that has nothing to do with time travel. So yeah, anime and movies pull this kind of shit all the time. |

| really? imo the previous season's war was much better. the harem and outside people joining the fight ruined it for me tbh. |

| The first episode as AMAZING with Leafa getting tentacle raped; the last 2 episodes, not that much. |
 |
| I literally stopped watching SAO after GGO lmao. |
 |
| Better than the previous seasons maybe, but still bad imo. That however is fine and its still fun to watch. It just probably has more actual plotholes than minutes of runtime, i didnt count though. When fans try to explain said plotholes it more often than not opens even more of them. |

| Alicization and War of the Underworld are good, has great animation, music and fighting scenes. If you ask me overall SAO is a good show, the reason why so many people hate it is mostly because its popularity. We all know it's cool to hate popular shows |
 |
| Every time a new season of SAO gets released, its fans are screaming "This season is actually amazing!". So the last few times it actually wasn't? Will some newcomer eat through 4 parts + movie + spin off just to check how good is this 5-th part? Come on you guys, learn how to praise it better - "Still incredibly good! Still emotionally engaging!", "Invents new creative ways to explore the deep themes of the original and to make you cry!", "More rape!"... PS Since we are talking about italian food I am a man of simple needs - just give me some gorgonzola, garlic and tomatoes. |

| its fuckin stupid just like the rest of the series |
 |
| I want to power through SAO 2 and other stuff to get to Alicization. |
 |
| I just feel like any SAO series without Kirito as a main character is actually interesting, like GGO alternative |

Piromysl said: After Winx Fairies bullshit and genderbent Kirito taking edginess to the whole new level, it would require some sort of talent to make it worse, but Alicization is indeed an upgrade. Most likely because Kirito, which is one the worst written characters ever written, spent second half of it in catatonic state, while the first fixed everything that was wrong with predecessors. But those unnecessary rape scenes... SAO specialist here. Those rape scenes aren't unnecessary. First of all I'd like to say, there are no rape scenes in SAO, I'm not that educated in rape but from all the hentai I've watched, my knowledge tells me that it was "Attempt to rape" they never fully raped anyone in SAO, the reason why I always point this out is because some people who have never watched SAO end up thinking that there are actual rape scenes like Goblin Slayer or Berserk, which is completely false. But let's just call it rape for now because it's easier. I presume that you are talking about the rape scene with the Nobles and Eugeo? Allow me to explain why that scene is necessary. If that rape scene wasn't there, then the story wouldn't have moved forward, its because those nobles did something as disgusting and inhumane as rape that lead Eugeo to attack them, which is why Kirito also attacked them. Both of them attacked, and they broke the Taboo Index. And because they broke the Taboo Index is why they were able to meet Alice and go to the Church. If that rape scene wasn't there, Eugeo would've never attacked the Nobles, which would mean that they wouldn't break the Taboo Index. It was a major step for the story because all the major fights and great stuff were after they went to the Church. So you see, that scene wasn't unnecessary. But the "Attempt to rape" scenes from ALO and GGO was very unnecessary, I guess they were there for shock value but not everyone felt the same. |

Ventus_S said: +1.My thoughts exactly.I thought the first arc of Alicization was pretty good and somehow balanced Kirito's OPness but the show started to decline after the 'attempt to rape" which fanbois defend as the most critical scene(important,yes but handled like shit).Then it went villain of the week format with Zanpakuto swords.Disagree. The first arc of Alicization got me intrigued, made me thought SAO could finally have some good writing and plot for once. It goes downhill and become repetitive/ predictable after they start climbing the dumb tower. Plot gets thinner the deeper the season goes. Not to mention that totally out of place tentacle rape. All it has is good OST, sometimes good animation, and good character design. And War of underworld is disappointment after disappointment.Kawahara isn't even trying.They left the admins on the Villain side without any encryption because they thought no was gonna use it.I have never seen such a lazy excuse. |
glac1er said: It is not. The Alicization part (not War of Underworld) was okay compared to the previous SAO, but it is definitely going downhill after the release of War of Underworld. To me instead Alicization seemed slow initially, then on the end and with the arrival of WoU it went up a lot |
