Cheep do you actually like SAO?


Never watched it, probably isn't a great show/something I'd like, but it probably doesn't deserve the amount of vitriol that's frequently flung in its direction by people here - few shows do.

So... If you haven't watched it, how can you say it doesn't deserve the hate its given?

Anime of the decade confirmed. If SHAFT don't fuck this up they are gods. I'm so glad their animation didn't ruin it for me so far, cos it's by far the show I was most hyped for.

Just listened to Sword Art Online in 2 shot...

I dont understand all the hate that anime get... It was less good in the 2nd half but it wasnt bad. first part was like 9/10 and 2nd part was like 7/10...

I understand that for some people they didnt like the filler at the start but i though it was setting the world of the anime nicely. I can understand too that some people wanted action action action and there's a big part of romance right in the middle but... wtf.

on MAL all the highest review give notes of like 3-5/10... this anime clearly deserve a 8-9/10.... no ?

What makes it deserve 8~9/10?

Though if you are really curious about the bad reputation it has, you can just search through this thread for the past SAO discussions that should've covered both anime and LNs.

That said, a lot of the hate for it is also because it is a mainstream show, the MAL scores are probably really bipolar between the mainstream and those who want to be hipster.


I have no problem give it a 6, and if people want give it a 7, go ahead. It's when people think it's greatest thing ever since Code Geass that drive me nuts.

If it wasn't popular though, pretty sure everyone would just leave it as "it's shit" and move on, there's a lot of pretty bad shows out there.

Yea pretty much. People (not just here, in general) like to give shows more hate than it deserves, relative to its actual qualify, due to a show's popularity.

We are just trying to keep the universe in balance. If a terrible show gets alot of praise, in order to keep physics working properly, it has to receive a proportional amount of hate to counter-act the misplaced praise.

Meh, I don't care about Justin Bieber, so I'll leave that crusade for those people. ANIME, however, is serious fukin business.

Anime is pretty wack for the most part. Some shows have something to say (logh) or create a unique universe (fate~) but most of this stuff gets by on being pretty and badass. When that works its pretty good, but alot of the time its kind of redundant. Anime might be serious business, but lets be real - its much more Justin Bieber than Stanley Kubrick. I mean most of the discussion here is about what girl or robot suit is prettier... I love it, but it just makes it seem pathetic when you apply an elitist attitude

So does the hate of SAO extend to Accel World too given the similar premise and same author? I enjoyed them both, but I also enjoy mainstream anime.

I actually enjoyed EVA most when I watched it, though I was also 12 at the time.

AW is tons better than SAO, despite flying pig MC. Most people here don't hate mainstream anime... just bad ones. Cowboy Bebop, FMA, FMP, GiTS, FZ, Nanoha, Bakemonogatari etc are fine (though taste vary).

I hated AW mainly cause of flying pig MC, and that Chiyu bitch, and Taku. I liked the actual SAO world, not so much the story within it, and ALO was stupid because of how much Kirito cheats. The level 75 boss in SAO looked badass.

The anime somehow managed to skip the all-so-important fact that the entire series is about how good Kirito is at cheating and beating the system.
