Sword Art Online (light novel)
| This was one of SAO’s best seasons |
Reshiram_IX said: I agree, as for me this is my favorite Sword Art season. No Kirito and tons of Alice kicking ass. And harem action despite Kirito's coma.This was one of SAO’s best seasons |

| I would give it between a 8 and 9. I think this anime is a little underrated. |

This Seasons quality is still the same, bad characters, shallow dialogue, plotholes etc, but its not as enjoyable since it lacks the laughably dumbness Kirito brought with him. Introduce a character for 1 or 2 episodes, them forget them 2 episodes later they show up when they are needed, very neat lmao. Now we are left with a dumb Harem i mean look at the last 2 min of ep 10, just Harem talking about Kirito without any reason whatsoever. The first couple Seasons were around 2 or 3 this one is around 1 or 2 score wise. Yeah totally these couple new seasons of sao didn't show that this anime can continue to give fresh stories and great characters and character developments.i think you skipped too much to not know what you watched or understand the story buddy as this anime absolutely doesn't deserve less than 8 (7 or 6 i would understand cz u don't like this specific genre) but obviously you're just watching it to precisely low rate it and trash talk the story (get off the sao sucks train and try thinking for yourself once) Did you just try to sell SAO as a objectively good series? Tell me why you think the series is good, not that i just watch it to hate on it. I like good television and SAO is not good television. I actually never skipped a SAO episode, i still have fun with the series, but its just trash guilty pleasure. Its still full of plotholes and the new underworld one of the most superficial tries at building a fantasy world. I dont attack people that like the series, i just dont get how anyone can say its a legit good series, with amazing main and side cast, with a rich and well explored world and themes. Accept it as the guilty pleasure it is. And i correct myself here, its SAOs best Season but still nothing more than a guilty pleasure. For me 8s are among the best the anime medium has to offer and SAO is far from that, 5 is average and if we only talk enjoyment that is where SAO would fit. If we include more than just enjoyment its a 2-3 at best . |

| 1700k People rated s1. Only 200k carried until this season, almost 10%. That is 1500k people that said "Fuck it, im not gonna continue that." Bot votes don't count anymore and even if they did, along with "haters", as some people would call them, are not enough to be considered revevant. A look at the stats would clear it up. Votes are mostly coming from a small section of hardcore fans and some completionists, so the score that you see represents for the most part the people that like the show (It's common for the score of an anime to increase as more seasons get released seperately). If anything, it's overrated. It's very overrated. |

If anything, it's overrated. It's very overrated. You do know that the first season had literally eight years to gather up this amount of members? And it's not even been a season since it finished. And yes sequels are watched by less number of people. That counts for any anime. SAO is one of the few animes that has 200k members in literally the fourth installment. So it's not only the "hardcore fans" that are watching it. And if you have to say it's overrated then justify your opinion on the basis of the show. |

"mostly coming from a small section of hardcore fans and some completionists"... You are adding nothing to the discussion. biswa290701 said: You do know that the first season had literally eight years to gather up this amount of members?

It's never going to come even halfway close to s1... and you just agreed with me. At this point you whole comment seems like a meaningless rant. |

So you're telling me every sequel to every anime is overrated as members in them decrease by a lot? Anyways, in overly hated animes like SAO and JoJo, there's also another problem. I was referring to that. |

BlakexEkalb said: The show is 7.82, which is WAY too high for what it gave. Switch Alicization P1’s score for this and it would be better. I kinda agree with you. Part 1 was better 🤷♂️ |

| Nah War of the Underworld is so much better than Alicization. But especially after the recent score purge Im surprised it didnt manage an 8. Just look at all the generic stuff this season which also has 7.5. I really dont understand MAL scores anymore. Especially if we consider people who hated SAO didnt watch 3 seasons and a movie just to rate this. I mean usually subsequent seasons go up in score because only people who like the franchise will stick. Like wtf it has the same score as the movie ordinal scale. How. |

The first couple Seasons were around 2 or 3 this one is around 1 or 2 score wise. Honestly, not sure if I completely agree with your description of the series but do agree that this feels like like the worst season. Ultimately, the season struggled to keep my interest and could not relate to any of the characters. Kirito and Asuna have their flaws but they are the protagonists for a reason but are hardly shown. Alice whom is popular also quickly loses screen time and ultimately, we are left with just some fan service. The characters shown have barely been developed or are remotely interesting and the villain is tragically terrible which does seem to be an overall issue with the SAO series beyond Aincrad (part 1 of season 1). There is a bunch of flaws in the animation and unlike most seasons of SAO there is hardly anything imaginative to get us excited about. Its just a weird and predictable war between two sides with little development. Worst, the show doesnt even come off as fun to me. I actually enjoyed and rate far higher than this the other seasons and so this is a complete disappointment. Concur this is likely the worst season so far. |

| Yes, this season deserves higher than an 8 for sure. |
