i like her so much. she's brave, kind, and incredibly supportive. she always looks out for the people she cares about. i wish everyone could be like her. do you guys like her too?

edit 1: please don’t compare her to other anime characters from different shows. i'm speaking specifically about her in the context of sao

edit 2: honestly, this wasn’t some 'what do you think of asuna as a character?' post. if I wanted to go there, i’d have asked for people’s super deep opinions and expected the usual mix of 'overrated' takes and all that. but nope, it was just a casual, 'do you also like asuna a lot?' post
kinda funny how some people hear that and instantly go off on a tangent like i’m obsessed or something lol

I can see why people like her, but I wouldn't say she's the best. She's very kind and caring yes, I agree on that. Though she wouldn't be amongst my faves

@EGG_KING_ i mean, the guy was just straight hating on her. it's strange to me that people are complaining about a shounen character created in 2002 (yes, that time before smartphones, when only around 10% of the world’s population had access to the internet). what do you expect from a 15 year old girl? for her to be some wise old woman? she’s no different from other characters of her time; a typical heroine designed for a juvenile audience. which was a new thing back then, and kind of unique unlike today, where everything is just a copy of one and another

She is designed as the perfect girlfriend and that's why I would love to have her as my girlfriend.

However she isn't that much of a good character before Mother's Rosario arc

Wasn't she supposed to be the one that rival's Kirito? Her start in the first couple of episodes really interested me, but she never grabbed my attention afterwards. Then in SAO Alicization she did some cool stuff as the beginning by quickly faded into the background again (and utterly disappointed me in War of Underworld arc). Edit: Forgot about Mother's Rosario arc oops, like mentioned above, that was her only good arc. Unfortunate that it didn't last very long.

The part that I think is most interesting about her is how she managed to get so strong after the start she had, so I think the SAO Progressive movies could be promising in that regard.

I'm pretty sure the guy was just giving his opinion that she was a generic main girl. Even if she was created quite a while ago it doesn't change how she is a bit generic. Tons of unique, well written female characters were made around her time so it wasn't impossible to write a good female character or anything.

@Hendog i get where you're coming from, but it's funny that he likes demon slayer and other shows with generic female characters that are basically just waifu bait. it feels like he’s just nitpicking because it's a popular or mainstream show. that’s what contrarians do when they can't come up with any decent argument, just being a hypocrite

All of the female protagonists in SAO are enjoyable. Sinon is my favorite, but I like Asuna too (Lis deserves a mention as well). I've been meaning to watch the second progressive movie. Thanks for the reminder.

if so, isn't all people who has some characters that they like in their favs are obsessed? (including you)

I said that your obsession was having this discussion only the in the context of SAO, not having a favorite character. Bringing up irrelevant points doesn’t help your argument. Everyone has a favorite character in some show, anime or otherwise.

And sorry on this forum we have opinions. You can’t relegate anyone to having just one opinion on here, and then when you disagree to say they have no intelligence.

You are allowed to not like Asuna and you are allowed to like her. Why is that such a bad thought 💀

@Kaze1214 bruh, this forum wasn't for asking people's deep opinions on asuna as a character 😭
like, if i wanted to hear people go on and on like i’m asking for an analysis, i would've asked, 'what do you think of asuna as a character?' ik i'd get a mixed bag of takes, which is cool, everyone's got their own views. but that’s not what i asked. my post was literally a simple, 'do you also like asuna a lot?' not a whole debate about whether she's overrated or not. this dude just came out of nowhere with the trolling and contrarian takes, and straight up called her overrated lol. chill out, it’s not that deep

Interesting line of argument…

The title of this reads the following: “is it just me, or do you guys also really like asuna a lot?”

Then in your comment on the post, you ask “do you guys like her too?”



Well, ya see. The thing is those questions have two answers.
1) No, it’s not just you. I love her a lot too.
2) Yes, it’s just you. I don’t particularly like her.

So, your argument is stupid on the basis that you never specified that we “HAD TO LOVE ASUNA” to talk about her in the first place 😂

So you, in fact, are the troll and the one who is currently contradicting themselves 💀

**PS: Noticed after all this I hadn’t given my opinion on Asuna. She is a solid character in Mother’s Rosario, Alicization War of Underworld Part 1, and the Progressive Movies. Other than that, I think she was decent in the other arcs.

Overall impression of her is that she is a decent character that doesn’t have to many seriously bad character flaws or to many good characters traits. Kinda just in the middle of those two.

@Kaze1214 yes, but did that guy actually mention any of those answers you brought up? no, right? he just nitpicked asuna to throw out a negative opinion. some people said they prefer sinon or alice more, and that’s totally fine and related to the post. but judging asuna like she’s just a mediocre waifu or overrated? that wasn't even the question! we were just talking about whether we like her, not dissecting her character flaws or anything. it feels a bit unfair, don’t you think too?

If you think calling Asuna who is a mid tier waifu, a mid tier waifu is making you loose your brain cells that only means you didn't have enough to begin with.

Tell me you have watched five Anime without telling me you have watched five anime.

Watch more anime.

Seriously dude most of the anime girls out their is more interesting than Asuna
