If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). 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

Coincidentally, I tend to dislike Elves in almost all their forms lol

The elite dark elf NPC in Progressive is pretty good.

Oh yeah, not to mention the whole story with his sister and how terrible that was.


you are pretty much the only person who hates GGO less than ALO

Its hard to be any worse than the bottom-of-the-barrel garbage that is ALO (see Mother's Rosario and how terrible it was). Did you read the LN or just watch the anime?

Both. Progressive is best obviously.

What puts GGO above ALO for me is Sinon. I don't really like Leafa. Other than that, i think both of the arcs are pretty bad. I do like my digital aids arc tho unlike sent.

progressive has argo being a troll too.

I personally think ALO is the lowest that SAO ever went, especially with the way they proceeded to do things. GGO was stupid and somewhat native but not as terrible imo.

It could have been a decent arc if they subtracted several of the dumber elements to it

I don't agree, as the arc's premise was already pretty dumb. "Hey, lets do horrible experiments on people's brains inside of a popular MMO so we can sell the data to the government, and also use it to brainwash this 16 year old girl into a sextoy. You have a problem, Hero-kun?"

Imo the entire series lost a lot of its weight and interesting aspects when they left the death game in the first place. Which is why I stopped reading the main series and now read Progressive.

I personally like kirito and asuna becoming + Show Spoiler +

by the end of alicization. That way it can keep the theory that SAO is just a prequel to Accel world and some of the characters there like kuroyukihime or graphite edge are related to them.

Why is this bad though?
I enjoyed reading ALO quite a lot, in fact it was probably my favorite part to read except for alicization, and I hated ALO more than anyone when it came out because of how it decided to adapt the part that I loved reading so much.
But I still love ALO because of how much fun it was to read. A lot of people like power-fantasies and OP main characters. It's basically a genre of its own. Why is it bad or cringe worthy?
It's not your type of thing and that's fine. Doesn't make it cringeworthy or shitty.

I also have no idea why you even read ALO if you hated it so much in anime form.
I don't believe you.

There is a right and a wrong way of how to handle OP characters. SAO obviously took the wrong way.

ALO was most definitely shitty. Also by far shittier than GGO, which is also pretty shitty.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

Every time I watch Gintama, I'm painfully made aware that it is ending soon. Doubt I'll ever find another anime this well made that hits all the buttons and feels.

I read SAO before I watched it.

And no, its shitty. Like, objectively shitty. The book makes a big deal about hard flying in ALO is. Kirito masters it in no time, and to a scale that blows away his sister, who was among the most talented. Why can he do this? Because he is MMO Jesus. He gets into a battle against a bunch of other players using the latest and greatest strategies, and he beats them down just because (and also transforms into the image of some SAO Boss, just because). Then he gets into a 1v1 against the strongest player in the game, who also had the best equipment in the game, and again, he just beats him down again, because he is MMO Jesus. Then he goes down to the Underworld and sees a bunch of God Beast Monsters, and is like "you know, I wanna tame one of these!" and then he does, because MMO Jesus. Need I go on? That arc was one of the most disgusting parade of Mary-sueness I've experienced in a long time.

There are good power fantasies, then there is SAO. At least the anime has good production values. Elf ears are good because they focus the direction on the nape. Hmm lovely nape.
