| Started because I happened to be reading Strike Witches on Baka-Tsuki, Then suddenly saw this name with an interesting tone in it. 'SWORD ART ONLINE'... What could that be? I then started reading the light novels and loved it since then. |

| The manga yes the manga and afterwards when its finally being anime read the novel |
 |
| Watched the first episode of SAO. I thought it was so good, I decided to read the novels. Read three volumes in about a week. |
| Saw the announcement on the anime adaption, found the synopsis interesting, and started reading the novels in March or April. |
| I started reading the novel on April 17, 2011 which is two years after it started publishing. I can't remember how I found the novel but it was probably after I saw images on zerochan (First Official Art on zerochan was posted on March 23, 2011). Baka-Tsuki was translating the novel and it was always very exiting when a new transelation came out. Volume 7 Mother's Rosario published on April 10, 2011 and was the last volume I read. On April 19, 2011 I made this club with the same goal I had for another club, Kowarekake No Orgel for it to become more populair (Kowarekake No Orgel was not officially recognized by MyAnimeList as a anime because it was a dōjin). So I was really happy when Sword Art Online received a manga and anime adaptation. I still think it would have bin better if they were more faithful to the lights novels character design for both the anime and manga. The anime also cut some of the storie short. If more time was spend on the characters I would have cared more about what happens to them. In the end Sword Art Online becoming popular gave us good and bad things but what is good and what is bad if for you to decide. |

| I used to play a MMORPG. Also, the fact that I found out Yuki Kajiura (I need to get an autograph from her someday) was involved in the series for her talented skills in producing its soundtrack. |
 |
| I've discovered SAO, on baka-tsuki site... looking for a decent light novel to read and researching on top LN selling, I've found SAO almost 1 year ago :) i didn't thought that this LN would be having an anime version :) |
 |
| Found SAO on baka tsuki and finished it in 1 week cause it was so good that I kept reading it everyday :P |
 |
| Saw the announcement for the anime and decided to watch it. And of course I always want to know about the source material and started reading the VN. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| found this after i have read all existing translation of densetsu no yuusha no densetsu and finding something else to read.... |
 |
| Found the announcement here on MAL about it being animated. Decided to read the Synopsis, and added it to my list. Been liking the series so far. Going to start reading the Light Novel got all the available ones downloaded in PSD format. |
 |
| I remembered reading around summer of 2011 when I first discovered Baka-Tsuki, the title was very intriguing. But since the translation wasn't complete (on vol. 3 or was it 4?) I slowly forgot about it until I heard the AW/SAO animation adaption announcement at December and picked up from there. |

| Started on anime...i hardly read mangas and LNs but after i watched few eps. i got hooked and i began reading the LN too... |
Time to show this Free World Leaders, i'm Three in a 3rd..I'm no longer scared now, i'm free as a bird      |
| I started reading the novel last year(around April),but I dont remember how I got to know it.But SAO was my first light novel,before that I only watched animes and read mangas.Now I read more than 10 light novels xD |

| Started on the anime too, observed few episodes, and got hooked! |
 |
| Watched first episode and i said that is good ;] |
| I came across it randomly... and loved it ever since! <3 |
"Luck? Who needs Luck? I have Ammo!" |
| When I saw the calendar for summer anime releases SAO was definitely one of the TV Series I wanted to watch. Because of the lack of time, working and so on, I haven't start watching it till episode 7 was aired. After watching the first 2 episodes I was pretty impressed by its plot and not only and watched all the aired episodes in a breath. SAO is one of those anime where you ask yourself "is it already 20 minutes?". After watching those episodes I decided to start reading the novel (a premiere for me, because I read mostly manga). So I printed the content and started reading it and the plot is very good. Thumbs up for SAO. |
 |
| Found it on Baka-Tsuki some half a year ago. Having finished Ghost Hunt, I was looking for sth to read and suddenly saw that title. My game-addict soul couldn't miss that. :) |
 |
| accidentally. I was serching some OST's in Youtube then i saw Sword Art Online trailer at right side. -thoose days i was planning to play some serious MMORPG and i wonder that SAO trailer so i watched the trailer and i said "oh god! i have to watch this." then i watched and love it! |
| it seems most people strarted with the anime |
| "You're making too much of me. All I am these days, is the poor owner of a small time candy store."-Kisuke Urahara |
| Saw people gt hyped up on the anime before it was released ... Read 4 volumes... Then anime came out and 5 th volume got epicly boring |
 . |
| i started watching S.A.O when i saw that it had all the genres i like |

| normaly I try to watch anime after it's ends which full one shoot on all episodes, but I couldn't do that with SAO as the setting I read somewhere was just to much interesting so I watched it (that was when 7 episodes were out) after that I started reading LN. In first 2 days I readed 3 volumes after that one volume per day up to 9, Now I waiting for next volume to be fully translated becuase I don't want to be cut in half |
| I just started watching the Anime. At first, I'm like "ehh, I'll wait till it's finished", cause I don't like to wait for more episodes every Sunday or so...But, once I read the summary, I just couldn't hold myself back any longer ;P |
 |
| I started watching the anime... It was uploaded onto the site I use I clicked it and been happy ever since XP |
 |
| heard about it on tumblr and decided to wait for the anime and read the novel afterwards |
 |
| read the LN a minute after watching the tenth episode... now I'm around vol 5 and found it really interesting |
| I saw that Sword Art Online is going to start soon on animenewsnetwork.com and I had a feeling that it's going to be an awesome anime judging by the cover. |
| I started the anime when I saw it as one of the hot new ones on animeultima.com. I really love the series, and I've already read the light novel. I'm doubly disappointed, because I need to wait for a new episode each week, and the new volume of SAO in december :P |
| i decided to follow this anime after watching 1st episode.. |
| Whenever You Go, how ever lonely you get, No Matter how hard it is. Don't forget, I'll be here Thinking of you. You are definitely not alone! -Nanami Takahashi- |
| In all honesty I thought it was gonna be crap, I was rather impulsive on judging the title 'Sword Art Online' on AnimeUltima. Regretted saying that best show ever XD As they say "Don't judge a book by its cover" |
| Well, for me..... I had always seen things about SAO and people said it was good, so I looked it up watched the first episode and I thought it was the most interesting anime I have seen. It's so creative in it's own way. I haven't seen many animes, but this one is one of my favorites ^-^ I don't know about the manga, I'm fine with just watching the anime. :P |
   |
| I saw it while i was searching for new anime. It sounded interesting and the first episode got me very excited. I loved it ever since. |
 |
| Well, I found it on baka-tsuki a year ago while reading multiple series like IS, Dxd, Tomodachi,etc..., thought the name and synopsis looked interesting, so I did a little research on it. Then started reading this masterpiece and loved it since then!!! |

| Some time ago I added SAO to my list and forgot about it. Recently, finally I watched first episode and then watched next episodes and now I know that SAO is one of my favourite anime. |
  |
| I was looking around on baka-tsuki and I saw the light novel, and then looked it up on other websites and heard good things about it. So, I spent the rest of the day reading it. |

| I found out about SAO at about 9 episodes into the anime. Now i am hooked on the light novels while patiently waiting for the next episode. |
 |
| Was a frequent visitor of this anime blog back then, and it mentioned SAO, I was curious so I checked it out since I was so interested in VR stuff. This was way before the manga was even announced. The first volume was still being translated. I think I started when chapter 15 or 16 was still being translated. The wait between chapters was... excruciating. So much so that once volume 1 was completed, I reread it, then reread it again. It was that good... You can't imagine how I felt once the anime was announced. |
