I think Ono did a good job in Alicization, I still think that Ito is better than him, but in some parts Ono as perfect in the adaptation.

Your work on Alicization was eh...
But I am always confident that Lore's explanations will be put into War of Underworld.
It's another thing, you're the director of one of the best narrative strings I've read, War of Underworld, with one of the best villains I've ever seen, and one of my favorites
So please Manabu, fit War of Underworld well and...DON'T RUIN THE VECTOR CHARACTER!!!

@Arif1999 not trying to be that type of person but it's not like Manabu stated that he will do it in the same vein as Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon. If anything, that's more of false expectations on your expense unless he stated that he was going to do it the same way as the other series.

With that being said Manabu's strength isn't really in a directing stance but I guess he's more into visualization primarily than overall directing.

Construct criticism: I fell like alicization has the potential to be the best saga of SAO, but the fights are really letting me down. I do liked that on ep 24 you increased a little the fight with dual wielding (improvement on the original), the fight against the goblins and agains Fanatio was also great, but the rest was not. SAO is about fight for life (basically) but we didn't feel that at all, we didn't have the time to feel that way because every fight was so simple and quick. As a rule, we know kirito will win, but we want see him giving his best for it. Hopefully you will give 100% on the next half of SAO, we believe in you!
By the way, big fan of your job on Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei

I felt disappointed with Alicization anime adaptation. I thought you will directing in the same direction quality as Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon but you didn't. In fact that the 1st 3 episodes look excellent. after that, with the original scene from LN had been swap with A-1 original scene, which makes the scene looks not as good as the LN version

Unfortunately pretty mediocre direction of the Alicization and also the same can be said for the episode directors. I miss the old director at that point.

I don't know whether it's the source's fault or the director's fault but even compared to previous SAO seasons the fights all feel so lame and weightless this season.

Compared to the quick, rushing barrages of previous seasons, with here where fights are over in one or two moves and that's it.

Mediocre work on Alicization so far. But still entertaining tho.
