Sword Art Online (light novel)
I actually did this about a year ago also around Easter, because I said that she was basically a saint. (in reference with some people saying that she was a God(dess) but she herself saying that she wasn’t) Unfortunately, some people took it way too literally when I posted it on Reddit. Because once you see the image, you will know that I clearly meant it as a metaphor. Well anyways, here’s to Asuna's very kindhearted personality being saintlike: |

| I genuinely don’t understand why people hate this anime series, it’s awesome |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |

 My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu |
Unlike "generic SAO hater", I can actually explain my position I think this show is NOT a masterpiece. |
|
| I really like the sentiment behind the edit! I think Asuna’s character is at her best when she’s driven by protecting others (some other arcs more focused on trying to spotlight her alone fall flat. I think some people dislike when a character’s defining trait is helping/saving others, but it can be done well. (Also this point is not about liking or hating SAO they just wanted to share something they made so I don’t know why it had to become a war zone) |

Abysmal_Saint76 said: Piromysl said: "Generic Mary Sue quote #852783" Is your whole life revolve around hating on SAO dude? We got it you hate the show and now we have known from ages then just move on. No need to make it your hobby like appearing in every SAO forum just to throw your mindless tantrum, do something fruitful other than preaching hate everytime. In fact, your obsession with SAO hate is so so gross. Bunch of wrong, baseless and motivated by butthurt assumptions not even worth addressing. This show is not a masterpiece, get over it. Abysmal_Saint76 said: You are right, I have been seeing this dude in every SAO forum preaching his mindless hate regardless of the nature of forum. If you hate the show fine man since this series is not for everyone but talk about being obsessed with show more than the fan who love show that your hand will itched whenever the SAO forum pops off where you can't contain yourself just to chalk the negativity & hate even the forum or OP hasn't asked about that like this. This is one extreme level of toxicity. Constructive criticism is not "toxicity" lul. Cognitive dissonance at it's finest. |

Abysmal_Saint76 said: Piromysl said: Yeah bro, OP is not asking the quality of series here or whether it is Masterpiece. Since you hate the show so much, why are you here just move on do chill pill. As a matter of fact, no one is asking for your opinion here. Also your hate is not gonna accomplish you anything rather it is just making you more toxic and obnoxious.Bunch of wrong, baseless and motivated by butthurt assumptions not even worth addressing. This show is not a masterpiece, get over it. 1. I'm here because I can. 2. Quote is kinda cringe (no offense). 3. Stop putting words in my mouth. 4. It is not I who is being toxic. |

Piromysl said: Unlike "generic SAO hater", I can actually explain my position I think this show is NOT a masterpiece. So basically, only MASTERPIECES deserve to be loved and apart from those 5-10 MASTERPIECES every other shows are trash? |

I don't think it's due to hating something because it's a popular series, I think it may be due to SAO having large flaws in its writing and fans who overlook said flaws which causes those who already dislike it to dislike it further. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hater and I found SAO a joy to watch despite it's huge flaws (My rating of 4 does not reflect my level of enjoyment. Enjoyment wise it's a 7 from me). However this assumption that people only hate because it's a "trend" to do so and ignoring the fact that each individual has their own opinions and can form them without influence from others is quite far fetched. For example, I really don't like MHA, but it's not because of its popularity or because I'm part of a certain crowd that hates it. It's my opinion and I have my own reasons for disliking it, and unlike a mindless hater, I try my best to take a more in depth look into things and analyze them to form my opinions. That being said, do not take this message as an insult or in a negative way, as that was not my intention. I am only adding my two cents to a claim I didn't agree with. thisiszihanbd said: people hate this series because they didn't watched it and they envy this series for still goings-on.

Anyways this thread has gone to shit because of people who don't know how to argue and make assumptions about each other instead of trying to have a meaningful discussion. Everyone's just throwing insults at each other and getting nowhere XD |

Piromysl said: Unlike "generic SAO hater", I can actually explain my position I think this show is NOT a masterpiece. But the guy can explain his/her position, that you are generic in your choosing to make a sarcastic comment on a positive position Sao post - So there's no 'unlike' in this situation, you have nothing over them, you both made the same equal joke - 😂😂 |

| @TheAngryNerd Wow. I totally did not expected someone to use reason and logic in this thread. Looks like I stirred this hornet's nest a little bit too hard and fanboys didn't liked it. If anyone seriously got emotional, then I sincerely apologize. I did not intended to provoke anyone. Anyway, you, my friend, get a cookie. @Remocracy if I can expect civil discussion, then: There are several, GLARING flaws SAO has, which obviously as such incredibly popular anime will be subjected to scrutiny. People WILL be pointing out. - Most popular criticism is cast of characters. The self insert, bland, boring protagonist, who excels at everything he touches, everyone admires and everyone who disagrees with him is wrong or even evil. You know, typical Gary Stu stuff, so he is as interesting as watching paint dry. (But still, I've seen way worse protagonist. Look below, if interested) Obviously, he is accompanied by his Mary Sue Waifu. Side characters are barely relevant and haremmates outside of their one episode/arc each are completely irrelevant. The worst offenders are villains, who are so cartoonishly bad, it's actually laughable at some point. Quiet Kid from GGO or literal Naked Chick (because "symbolism" for some reason) still makes me laugh to this day. - The other offender is writing. SAO had phenomenal first arc (and first half of Alicization, but in second quickly returned on the throne of Trash), it has shown a lot of promise and combined with stellar visuals we had easily digestible, perfect gateway show. But then came big revelation that Mad Sceientist did it all because he had midlife crisis and just was bored, which a lot of people understood as "he forgot", which honestly would be better. Very promising first arc ends in a whimper. And it all goes down from there. Second arc is a quality drop so legendary, it took almost a decade for other anime to beat. (Promised Neverland, obviously) At this point author is not even trying and Kirito is a literal, one dimensional, Jesus and Asuna was reduced to Damsel in Distress. Random shit conveniently happens for no reason and Kiroto rallies, motivates and defeats anyone like typical Gary Stu would do. Oh, and there is also reyp scene, because reasons. And I'm not even gonna mention GGO because just NO! It's even worse. I guess this applies as constructive criticism. SAO has it's ups and downs. It made VERY good first impression, but it went downhill too fast and we had to wait till Alicization to return to this glory, albeit briefly. |

I never said sao don't have flaws, it have flaws, asspulls, cliches etc etc but still people hate it more than any other series and i have seen it vast amount of time. That's the whole point, else every shounen anime have these things too but didn't feel to mention it cause nothing gonna change. |
