What are your thoughts on GGO Alternative? I know that GGO Alternative and the GGO arc from SAO II are not taking place in the same storyline, but which one do you think is better so far?

So far, based on the first episode of GGO Alternative and the whole original GGO arc in the main series:

GGOA >>> GGO

I don't like GGO. At all. I'm not sure how the actual light novel plays out, but GGO as presented by A-1 Pictures is an atrociously paced arc with unnecessary ass shots. And other types of pandering. And exposition dumps. And rapey bad guys.

GGOA DOESN'T have these things (hopefully), so it already beats the original. The loli MC is a unnecessarily stupid idiot savant, but has PART 4 JOTARO WITH A SNIPER as an ally. I swear, if I closed my eyes I could imagine Jotaro giving a loli advice on how to win stand battles. The duo is "Pinky and the Brain" and I'm perfectly fine with this.
Ravioli ravioli, Kirito will not touch the loli.

Personally, I like SAO's Bullet of Bullets ("GGO") arc more than SAO:A:GGO:SJ. I like stories about mysteries, adventure and pretty girls like SAO more than stories that are all about violence like SAO:A:GGO:SJ.

In GGO arc, SAO's novel is very much just like SAO's anime. Except that anime authors had to show something during exposition dumps, which often meant Sinon's ass.
(I don't object to their choice - Sinon's ass is more fun to watch than that random lizard on the wall)

The MC isn't an idiot savant. She is merely of ordinary intelligence, and isn't a fan of guns - a so-called "casual player". She is good mostly because she has some talent and spent a lot of time playing.
Her partner is pretty clever, though, so they make a good combo.

GGO >>>>>>> GGOA.

It is for Madoka alone." - Homura

GGO, by far... sure I want something not Kirito related for a change (mother's rosario is a good example), but not something entirely out of the cast.. I want some chars development beside Kirito in their own story, NOT stranger chars development, so yea
