And Kirito isn't jesus. I would have liked it more if they made that into an anime. Progressive is a reboot of the Aincrad arc. | ||

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 See i liked the world in ALO. I liked the addition of magic and flying, it made it more like the type of game I would play. Aincrad while not my first choice of an rpg would be something i probably wouldn't play until somebody made me then i'd fall in love with it. And I understand the "there's no death in ALO" argument but I got over it b/c Kirito still had that "can't die, can't let my friends die" mentality. So while technically they all could have died no big deal, it still had some tension in it b/c that's the last anybody wanted. | ||

Admittedly i didnt read much of sao (is because it is not interesting for me to read more of it in the first place) maybe it will after they finish the sao stuff. Somebody told me that accel world is set in the same world as SAO just a lot later down the timeline. Id like to see a better Accel world also. I liked the world that it was set it but i had trouble getting into the characters (particularly MC). | ||

The AW/SAO crossover oneshot was pretty lomo. On November 16 2014 07:22 NeoIllusions wrote: Progressive is a reboot of the Aincrad arc. Progressive is the trash that's taking up himura kiseki's time from drawing more betrayers or sword dancers. Not that he doesn't have the time to release random shorts and concept arts just to be a dick with. On November 16 2014 07:30 andyrau wrote: i hope the source for accel world is leaps and bounds better than its anime cause that shit was awful Depends on what you are looking for, though it isn't hard to be better than that anime. I do think that the series had a better transition into just hot blood cool fights thing though. Pig is still a pig though, really would like that to change. Even freaking s;g had poor Daru working his ass off and actually stopped looking like a barrel.

The SAO arc would've been so much better without any of the romance. Yet every SAO char not Alice sucked so much that a dutchwife is better. Frankly I value plain wish fulfillment dutchwife more than bad writing trying to give character to wish fulfillment dutchwife. Which is basically every other female character. Though I guess the loli and asuna-friend from aincrad era is saved by not having enough appearances to get tainted further by shit writing. | ||

It isn't trash if you just want to see the romcom adventure of those two, but is that what you went into the original SAO looking for? Also come back when you know who himura kiseki is I guess, I don't even care about the novelization personally when it became obvious that he was just retconing the early floors to have more Kirito Asuna loveydovey time. I don't even dislike Asuna comparatively speaking, but it is pretty much a waste of time when I had hoped for the guy to actually make good use of Aincrad settings. Frankly, if I just want romcom, doujins do a far better job than his writing anyway. | ||

I would have preferred this to the random subplots the actual SAO has, which are worse at developing the characters. | ||

You realize that Progressive is literally the same thing as the Aincrad ss vols, except about Asuna and not people that don't get appearance. Actually that seems to be what you want after a fashion, but far as I was concerned, there is no point to reboot Aincrad with massive retconing just to fit that in. You can just write more silly shit past SAO and get the same effects, dutchwife ain't becoming a character with shitty ss level writing. So why bother? This is just opening up past wounds and pouring salt on them all over again as a reminder that a bad writer can't write no matter how good a concept he had originally.

I've seen hopeful and then I've seen this That bugger released a short Feito thing in betrayers for c85 lol, also like 82 or 83 he had random concept arts from it, etc. Basically he is just being a dick while making a killing drawing anything else. Uta and I talked a while back about this, basically my expectations for him are in the following order: not doing shit>trolling with old material that he found in his sketch book>something new that he can draw r18 on (high likelihood this year since Ushio)>>>>>>>>betrayers>sword dancers. His c87 release at this rate is just gonna be Ushio r18 zzz. It really doesn't help that SAO seems to eat up a good chunk of his time now. | ||
