Sword Art Online (light novel)
Zlyiond said: Faded to irrelevancy, and thank god for that. The SAO hate wagon is so exausting. It's so funny when I speak to some people jumping on hate trends for series and if I ask them if they've actually seen it they go "no, but from what I've heard it's trash" I don't get it. The worst type of people in the anime community are those who speak on series they've never seen lol |
| @cipheron @DBZisUnderrated Yes, Mahouka and its MC sounded very awful to me so I never checked it out. Like the OP but LiSA can do no wrong, so. xD But even though I hear it's not good...I won't go around saying "It's obviously bad cause I heard that." This would just be dumb of me. But people following hate trends don't think the same way, I guess. @Ohmena I agree with most of the 'bad points'...but I actually thought Eugeo turning into a sword was pretty cool....though tragic. :( |

| It's probably less talked about because of the sheer amount of copycats and SAO-inspired anime there are. Really popular shows like MHA and AoT normally survive dips in community discussion that most other series experience after several seasons, but with SAO there are so many other anime that were tailor made to appeal to SAO fans, so now attention is split between all these anime. The series is probably not going to die anytime soon, but it's not going to enjoy that same level of discussion AoT has currently, and the amount of discussion SAO itself had during season 1. |

Chiibi said: Nemo_Niemand said: If someone disliked the first season or even dropped it, why in the hell would they want to watch the 3rd? Some people are like that; they cannot drop an anime no matter how much they dislike it. 'Completionists', they are called. Maybe OCD-related...I dunno. No that's not it, you're wrong. I'm one of those "Completionist" that you've mentioned, and yes it is OCD related. When I watched MHA season 1 and I disliked it, I decided to give season 2 a shot hoping it would improve, but it didn't. That's when I stopped. When you stop following a series and stopping at a specific season, it doesn't count as dropping. But when you drop an anime mid season, it does count. Hopefully I'm making sense. The people who keep watching SAO even if they dislike it so much as they claim, they watch because they want to hate, they are not completionists, they merely use that as an excuse. Most of the people that hate on it and say that they watched, didn't even actually watch it. And even if they did watch it, even before watching it they have already decided that it's bad and nothing can change that, so of course they hate it. I like how people keep saying that Kirito is a Gary Stu when he actually isn't, and anyone who watches SAO properly knows that. |
 I said keep your hands on the table |
| @Arin-san I've never thought about 'season by season' and 'dropping' like that...but all right. :O Yes, I very much love to write about how much a Gary Stu Kirito is not. The term is just so misused. lol I can't help but think they are just biased against the poor boy or...they were half-asleep during his screentime or something. xD |

Hrybami said: I'm really not a fan of SAO, but what I'm sure is that it has 100 times better characters than Death Parade. At least SAO's characters aren't completely dumb or autistic and they have believable reactions. Yo add me bro. I went emo for second. I agree until SAO 2 came out. Video game rape would make someone mad in real life lmfao? He squareed up with grown man in real life and wins the fight lol. All with messed up arm btw. |

There were rape scenes in sexual assault online 3 (SAO III) twice. |
They also focused WAY too long on it too! But the most infuriating thing is how LEWD they made it. Kawahara didn't write it that way at all...unless the novel excerpts fans posted online are false (which I doubt)...but the scene is extremely tame, non-descriptive, and far from the "tentacle hentai" treatment A-1 Pictures decided to give the anime. Damn you, A-1. |
|
| I think SAO's just as hated and loved as it ever has been, and no matter how much I and others want it to, I doubt it will fall into irrelevancy for a long time. |

| This thread has been cleaned and moved to the correct sub-board. "Anime/Manga specific threads should go into their respective sub-boards." |
 |
| It is more "irrelevant" now, but if we were to follow the techology.. Which a tech can intervene a dream, it could be "they" (The elites) already invent this kind of techs/tools.. But for brain part / the soul part.. Soul n brain r two diff part.. We can't have an active brain while there is no soul N vice-versa.. Or could be I am lacking on this kind of knowledge..? |
