that's because half the characters are completely forgotten, the others are randomly killed, and the main characters have no depth except for some forced romance because there is nothing else interesting going on in the show.

Yeah, it sorta fixed that problem, but in so doing, introduced new, worse problems.

Well idk if you've read the LN - but if they didn't put the side stories in; there would be HUGE gaps and then there would be absolutely no character development.
It all ties in somewhere... Especially if they do the vol's 5/6/7/8/9/10.

I've read the LNs. There is no way this SAO anime is getting past Vol4, lol. Vol 1, which was easily the best volume in the entire series (at least up to vol8, haven't gotten to 9+ yet)(which is more due to the other volumes being crap, rather than vol1 being anything great), was able to get by despite an incredibly rushed romance. The anime clearly tried to fix this problem of a 'super rushed romance', by the inclusion of Episode 2 and the SAO Murder Mystery. All these side stories, however, introduced whole new problems, since everything between Episode 2 and 8 were all extremely disjoint, all of them side stories, and most of them really boring. So they "fixed" one probably, but introduced many more, worse problems.
And even in the side stories they animated, they tended to gut any of the interesting content. Like in the Murder Mystery part for example, they completely remove Heathcliff's part, and completely trivialized the Laughing Coffin part (where the top 3 of Laughing Coffin, including a really significant character in Vol 5/6, show up, and they barely do/say anything, and all significance is lost). I don't even remember the anime pointing out that it WAS the top 3 of Laughing Coffin that showed up then.

Even though they show up in vol 5/6, at the end of the day it's how Japan receives the anime; and so far - it's huge. It's by far the most popular anime this season and I can easily promise you that there will be a second season for 5/6/7/9/10.
Even the 'otaku's' over at Akiba who've read the LN's still believe it's a good anime.
There's only so much you can put into an anime with x budget.
Not to mention if they DIDN'T rush it, the anime would have like 10 seasons l0l.
Like the artwork and the anime (SOA) overall to be honest, find the whole attempts to be "gruesome" within the game a little crappy though. The love story was meh too, but I enjoy the characters.
My favorite anime this season is Muv-luv alternative though, even with the bad character animation.

Okay? Why are you even talking about its popularity, did I even dispute that? I dunno how that is relevant in the least to what I was saying, lol. SAO is slated to be 25 episodes. There is no way they are going to get to volume 5+ in 15 more episodes when they aren't even done with 1/2 yet.

Also I never said that they will do the next vol's in this season. But going by your statements you seem to suggest that there WON'T be a second season.

Not sure if anyone is watching it but..I really enjoy the new HxH anime. HxH manga is probably the only thing I've reread more than once. It's finally at the part where they clash with Genei Ryodan and it's freaking awesome, the soundtrack is really nice too.

No, I'm talking like I was having a discussion with someone, and then the guy I was talking with started bringing up random shit for absolutely no reason cuz he was bored or something.
How is it random shit if it's got to to do with the anime. Anyway's it's like I'm talking to a child here so I'll leave you with this.

that's because half the characters are completely forgotten, the others are randomly killed, and the main characters have no depth except for some forced romance because there is nothing else interesting going on in the show.
Hey! I like the forced romance Really enjoyed episode 10, despite all the flak everyone is giving it.

Vol 1, which was easily the best volume in the entire series (at least up to vol8, haven't gotten to 9+ yet)(which is more due to the other volumes being crap, rather than vol1 being anything great), was able to get by despite an incredibly rushed romance. The anime clearly tried to fix this problem of a 'super rushed romance', by the inclusion of Episode 2 and the SAO Murder Mystery. All these side stories, however, introduced whole new problems, since everything between Episode 2 and 8 were all extremely disjoint, all of them side stories, and most of them really boring. So they "fixed" one probably, but introduced many more, worse problems.
And even in the side stories they animated, they tended to gut any of the interesting content. Like in the Murder Mystery part for example, they completely remove Heathcliff's part, and completely trivialized the Laughing Coffin part (where the top 3 of Laughing Coffin, including a really significant character in Vol 5/6, show up, and they barely do/say anything, and all significance is lost). I don't even remember the anime pointing out that it WAS the top 3 of Laughing Coffin that showed up then.
Even though they show up in vol 5/6, at the end of the day it's how Japan receives the anime; and so far - it's huge. It's by far the most popular anime this season and I can easily promise you that there will be a second season for 5/6/7/9/10.
Even the 'otaku's' over at Akiba who've read the LN's still believe it's a good anime.
There's only so much you can put into an anime with x budget.
Not to mention if they DIDN'T rush it, the anime would have like 10 seasons l0l.
Okay? Why are you even talking about its popularity, did I even dispute that? I dunno how that is relevant in the least to what I was saying, lol. SAO is slated to be 25 episodes. There is no way they are going to get to volume 5+ in 15 more episodes when they aren't even done with 1/2 yet.
It's another point to bring up..?
Also I never said that they will do the next vol's in this season. But going by your statements you seem to suggest that there WON'T be a second season.
Another point to bring up about what? Who was even talking about its popularity, lol?
Where did I suggest that?
I brought it up.
You give such a negative reception to SAO that suggests there won't be a second season.
Okay, look, guy, I'll explain. I was talking about reasons why I don't like the anime. And then all the sudden, you start talking about how people in Japan like it, and how its going to get a second season. What the fuck does any of that have to do with this? I never talked about its "reception" at all.
Yo, buddy - you gotta' relax. You talk like your some big person on these forums. Get off your high horse mate.

Person 1: Here are things I don't like about SAO: reason 1, 2, 3 Person 2: SAO is really popular in Japan!!! Person 1: What does that have to do with anything? Person 2: Get off your high horse, I'm done talking here, its like talking to a child!
lol, I guess I've learned my lesson trying to talk with people who like SAO.

Maybe cause it's not full of fan-service (to an extent) and ecchi/harem like the other 3/4 of the anime this season. =.=
Probs one of the reasons I like it so much anyway.

I guess I've learnt my lesson talking to children. Maybe next time you can learn not to be so condescending and arrogant. Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean they are wrong nor does it mean that they cannot add to the discussion - which I assume this thread is.
EPT
Really enjoyed episode 10, despite all the flak everyone is giving it.
