Ono, Manabu

Well, congrats for saving SAO.

I don't consider Alicization a part of the amazing series anymore .. Alicization was so bad and different that it made people who hate previous SAO seasons love Alicization! and the fanbase of SAO hate it so much

I think he did a good job on Alicization. Not as best as Ito.

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.

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
