We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

Didn't the guys that actually read the LN say that SAO even put in anime original story to extend it a little longer in the first part?

I do remember someone mentioning that the source innitially had skipped a lot more of those castle stages when really I was sitting there thinking "damn, why can't they just show more of that?" as well and thought that it was anime leaving out source material.

I used to like SAO so much too. ;;
So peaked during the Aincrad arc.

Not anime original, but side stories. They put in side stories from later volumes to pad it out. Like the first dungeon floor boss, that murder mystery arc, everything involving Sachi, Silica, Lisbeth, and even Yui, were all side material taken from later volumes. The first volume was a pretty simple, decent story. The romance sort of came out of no where in it, but I could ignore the abruptness of it starting. But the longer the story of SAO went, the worse it got. I'm of the opinion that the inclusion of most those side stories murdered the pacing of the SAO part in the anime.

Yeah, SAO pretty much jumped into the thick of things with Kirito/Asuna starting with the ragu rabbit story. Not counting Asuna stuff, I though the Liz sidestory was the cutest.

How many of you have read the Alicization arc? I read the LNs up to Alicization but couldn't get into it enough to keep reading. People say it's the best SAO arc but frankly, I've moved on. >>

I read a bit of Alicization when I had the time to do so a while back. It was a nice change of pace, considering MMO Jesus actually had to start from the beginning, and wasn't the world's most powerful character on Day 1. Honestly MMO Jesus seemed like a different character personality wise too. I don't think I've read the most recent 1 or 2 volumes, though.

You don't have to pause to read the 1 frames. Most of the time they just elaborate on the thoughts you just seen or they quotes from the novels, it's more of a mood thing. In the first ep they are a bit of backstory but it's so min that it just leaves you with more questions than answers. Just watch it normally then when you rewatch you can start pausing frames to read.

It's a show that's made to be rewatched so don't worry if you don't catch everything the first time. Just enjoy the ride.


I am actually doing it the other way round haha, pause play first then rewatch in full without pausing. But probably after I manage to obtain the better version. Currently have the one by Coalgirls (not BD), and apparently opinions from the internet say it's a shitty version. Cant find any non-torrent Thora BD version yet.

If we look at pure potential Aincrad>Alicization. If we look at silly fun execution Alicization is best arc of SAO.

SAO 19: i didnt think it was too bad to be honest. that fight scene was pretty cool, but coulda been longer probably.

AND to piss everybody off more... I liked both arcs in SAO1. Aincrad was definitely much better but i was entertained by ALO's arc as well. GGO was good to me also if you were wondering. I just like the anime, simple as that. I do hate that by saying I like it I get thrown into a group with ignorant assholes who don't really know anything about anime outside those huge ones (bleach, SAO, naruto, onepiece).
BW. There will always be a special place in my heart for the game I spent 10 years to be mediocre at.

Nothing wrong with liking trashy shows as long as you know that they are that. SAO is like Cross Ange or dxd. Trashy but fun. All you need to say is you enjoyed SAO but know it's not that great. You know so you don't sound like all those retards that think AoT is the greatest thing ever.

I'm really pissed now! There's nothing wrong with what you wrote lol. Ignore the haters. The big thing that I didn't like about the second arc of SAO was that the world just wasn't interesting and the transition was too quick. You went from a survival game to one where death meant essentially nothing. I did enjoy all those moments where Kirito would kick someone's ass though haha but the world needed to be explored a lot more. Would've helped if we had several episodes between SAO and ALO. GGO was fine, exciting at times and a bit boring with some episodes. I still think first arc of SAO was best though

The worst thing about SAO is that its SAO. You can't fundamentally change the essence of bad that it is!

Im JK. While I am not a fan of SAO, I have plenty of trashy shows that I absolutely love.

I was totally blown away from Twintails, but recently it felt less funny. Maybe because it already lost its "shock value" for me.

I think GGO was worse than ALO honestly. Only thing that saved GGO from being a trainwreck was Miyuki Sawashiro
