im talking about the plot of S1 and S2, and since they can be considered alone(basically i can consider them some side story) i can consider the character development of those two, and the author doesnt do a well job in making the characters interesting.
Mother's basement stated his opinioni, and many others agree with him, and he also provides good points on his video.
if to make a sequel(S2) where you can Say "fuck It" and make this kinda of shitty plot than the anime Is bad, It isnt "interesting" when characters could do some easiest thing with no consequence, It would make more sense if the killer was likes the son of the CEO of the game, so he could use the authority of the dad to Say to the goverment "i Will not give It for the privacy of (inserti character)"
Japan Is a Place where every bullshit can be famous, even adaptations of Junk Ito work(good manga) from Netflix that are bad but ppl still defend It
every anime if It isnt Interesting i could drop It at any time, this doesnt make me more stupid than others about the anime, i could Say that its bad from the POV of someone Who watched until a certain point, the same goes for SAO. i can Say its bad for S1 and S2.
if I ever Watch One Piece(i wont) and i drop It at episode 489, cant i talk about It because i didnt see the entire plot? do you understand how stupid this reason Is?
SAO isnt trying ti be Majestic or anything, but to make an anime set in a real world(or we could Say VR) we Need rules to be applied, why JJK Is so popular? because of fights, rules, and plot, JJK make sense in his verse, because he can use the rules to something believable. i didnt even talk about how Is SAO a sooo bad game design or how It can be considered a succes with only 40.000 users.
I don’t think SAO S1 and S2 can be broken up. The stories build upon each other. The characters also build upon each other.
Also, with what mothers basement is his opinion, it doesn’t necessarily portray that his points are better than the anime. And I disagree actually. The killer in S2 was laughing coffin, which is the main antag of the series. You had people basically being able to enact “The Purge” without any consequences for 2 1/2 in SAO, so it makes sense that some deranged guy was a killer. Even the antag of S1P2 made sense because he was the head of the R&D department of the VR company. Basically all antag, except for laughing coffin members, wanted to be a god in their own world, which is why SAO was created and why Sugu was the antag for S1P2. All the bad guys make sense.
With the Junji Ito thing, yeah, some people defend it, most people don’t. Most people hate it because it’s a poor adaptation, SAO isn’t under that scrutiny, so it’s incomparable.
With the OP comment, yes/no. For instance, if a major plot point was in episode 600 that could explain a lot of the story, then no, you can’t talk about whether the story is completely cohesive. You could have some weight in the argument, but not really, you can’t have a complete opinion of a media unless you finish it. Because central plot points are usually explained at the end.
I actually don’t agree with your “rules” opinion, at all. I don’t see why SAO in the real world doesn’t follow its own rules? Unless you give an example of it I don’t think I understand.
Also, of course it’s a bad game design. That’s the point of SAO. The dude just wanted to be a god, he didn’t care if classic RPG rules applied.
