Wasted potential first off, overrated, horrible love story, should not have tried to be a harem, crappy dialogue, glorifying overpowered protagonist gives the show no sense of danger, terrible fight direction, wasted animation budget, unnecessary fan service, poor dub, poor sub, stole VRMMORPG approach from .hack and even made it horrible, many many many plot holes

Alright. The guy who made it has never experienced love or played games ever in his life, progressively gets worse, very bad ending of SAO season 1 that can be seen as cliche and very poorly executed, fans just make it all the worse, unnecessary side stories, detestable characters ... which are either bland or just flat out annoying, did I mention how bad the plot is? Oh I did. I just can't help how bad it is and how bad it's executed. The beater concept is actually pretty hilarious, tries to be good, generic antagonists

TL;DR: Episode 1 was alright
Episodes 2-end of Aincrad Arc were meh-bad as it went on
ALO was obviously total shit
S2 was better than s1 but still shit

4/10 bad show

I decided to make a review on this coz people are praising this like it's the face of the Romance genre, it's not, I would argue Kaichou wa maid-sama but even that is flawed

Story: 1

there's hardly any story in this show tbh it's just about the two main characters love interests which got handle very poorly by the author, this is a poorly written "love story" I can't even call this a love story

first we have this the two main characters whom both have different love interests which means what's supposed to follow is both of them losing interest in their respective love interests while ... slowly develop romance with each other coz they're the main characters for pete sake but nah that ain't what happened at all and you'd expect the show would utilize itself having 24 episodes, our main male and female MC still madly greatly in love with their respective love interests in the final 2-3 episodes of the show I repeat there's hardly any romantic development between the love square, female MC even hallucinated and mistook Ryuuji for his crush, Ryuuji still madly in love with Minori, mind you Minorin and Ryuuji was about to have a 1 on 1 convo/confess at each but no worries Taiga is there to ruin the day and went on a tantrum spree, you gotta let them angst come out amirite angsty teenagers needs break amirite and the next day (final 2 episodes) the two main suddenly wanna live in together coz they're suddenly on a relationship smh talk about forced romance this is the most forced romance I have ever seen ever I can't believe this is the most recommended romance, RomCom coz this is just bad most of the episodes got wasted on some random moe SoL and male and female mains failed attempts to their respective love interests with Taiga beating Ryuuji and Ryuuji being the ultimate white knight

Art: 5

hardly a matter in this kind of show coz they usually have a good to average art

Sound: 4

can't remember if it's the first or second but it has a decent ending song while I can't even remember the opening songs coz they're so forgettable

Character: 1

Minori and Yasuko are probably the only likable characters in this show while the rest are downright detestable, forced and badly written ones especially Taiga, guess I'd expect no less from a violent tsundere, there's even this Ami chick who was implied to actually likes our male MC too but nothing happen in the end she was just there for the sake of it, I mean why add a character who won't even confess and try with Ryuuji, such a pointless character again this is a harem in guise of a Romance, people needs to stop branding this a major Romance coz this is a RomCom harem and it's a bad one

Enjoyment: 1

the only reason that I would watch this again is so I can get even more details and more evidence of how bad this show is coz I've watch this back in 2010 and I actually thought it was a good show back then, people praise this like it's the face of the Romance genre even tho it's clearly not

Overall: 1

this is lowkey harem in guise of a Romance, if anyone asks for a recommendation of a Romance, I wouldn't recommend this but for a RomCom I will coz they're usually a random with most of their episodes with a plot next to nothing with non existent story development and for this romantic development. and this pulled the most forced romantic build up I could ever think of

Story: 1

Basically, this series is a ripoff galore of multiple popular series

Ripoff the ff:

-TMOHS
-Oregairu
-Monogatari series

... Combine your cheap ripoffs and you get a badly, forced and lazily written story line with a protagonist that's more cringey than Subaru of ReZero

Yey Bunny Girl Senpai is born

Supernatural shit happens, mc asks futaba for advice, mc eventually solves it, rinse and repeat, one dimensional af

Also, I can't ignore and will have to mention that final episode

Final episode (13) was so pointless, it could've ended in episode 12 and it would've made no difference, I just watch a cringey mc cries for half of the episode and more cringe scenes in the second half smfh so anticlimactic, no conclusion to the story, tho I heard there will be a movie coming soon but it'll ripoff the entire season 1 of a certain popular series

Welp El Psy Congroo

Art: 7

The art is decent tbh

Sound: 2

Meh, especially the opening ugh can't even remember the ending theme tho I only remembered the opening cause it was that bad

Characters: 1

The characters are all so bland both design and personality wise, they're all so unlikable and not interesting, they seem so forcedly created for the sake of trying to make a realistic characters but failed miserably, tho with Sakuta the only part they got right was him being cringey af and that was very realistic no wonder I hated him so much

Futaba tho is easily the mvp of the show, her theories are almost always spot on, her contribution and impact to the show is big for me and that's how I define best girl so yeah she's best girl

Mai tho is the most waifu material ofc

Tho honestly, Kunimi's girlfriend would've been the best character of the show if given more screen time, and that's saying a lot about the characters if a mere side character had more potential than them

Enjoyment: 1

At the moment the worst mainstream show I've ever watch, and I thought DitF wouldn't get dethroned for a while, this is really a bad show

Overall: 1

I would've given it a 0 if I can but yeah, this show is so bad, I think the author should get copyrighted for the shows that got ripped off, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, it's torture to watch, tho honestly it should've ended in 3 episodes coz that's literally the title and it was resolved hence sparing me the cringiest scenes the mc ever pulled and the bad writing ofc

-Overused AF premise and plot
-Suffering is no character development
-Potentially invincible ability gives the show no sense of danger (MC is just too dumb to realize)
-Ripped off Yusuke's spirit gun, Elfen Lied's vectors (unseen hands), Beserk's God Hand (Sin Archbishops) "UNIQUE"
-The dumbest most annoying retarded useless autistic MC you'll ever see (a brainless MC)

Reason of suffering: Trying to get my waifu to like me because it's my otaku fetish instead of bothering to find more about the world he went in. Could actually resolve things with resets and would learn more on it based on failures but still acts silly just for the sake of it ... while not caring about his previous world


Story: 1 this story is so boring, there's no sense of danger, everything can be fixed with the plot sword, too lazy, such a lazy writing and worse unoriginal

Art: 4 the art is decent, I gotta admit it, it's the only good thing about this show and it's still bad, White Fox isn't very good tbh they're just somewhat a popular studio


Sound: 2 cool first ending song, soundtrack was meh okay, everything else, OP1-2 and ED2 is trash

Character: 1 now this, the author needs to go out and socialize with people coz damn, the MC is the most unrealistic character of all time, it looks like the author wants to fool people coz this show is basically trying to act smart for the sake of being smart, and the author did a good job of brainwashing people

Enjoyment: 1 it's sooo boring and slow especially in the mansion arc, the author did a piss poor job by not doing anything spectacular everything so average, I honestly don't think I'll ever give this a second watch ever again

Overall: 1 hot garbage, don't watch this unless you're a masochist
