You guys are missing the reason why SAO is great.

It is the story of one nerdy gamer guy who is perfect and always the best at everything, and has about 37 hot gamer chicks following his every word and blatantly trying to get with him.

I mean, duh.

Wow, and you told me you hate The Irregular At Magic High School for exactly that reason


There's a difference between SAO and Irregular at Magic High.

See if you can spot the difference.

Why would you link shit cosplay of them instead of the actual characters? SAO is absolute garbage. Mahouka is pretty trashy too but not as garbage as SAO. Sinon's ass is only good coz of Miyuki Sawashiro.

GGO has "guns" in the sense that Kirito uses lightsabers and kills everyone that uses guns. It's even worse than ALO lol.

And now we know that the only time Kirito ever loses a fight is because his opponent is a cute girl so he lets her win.

Oh SAO, you're so sexist.

Doesn't he lose a duel to the big guild leader and that's why he has to join in the first place?

He only loses because the big guild leader is actually the systems admin and cheats by making his character immortal.

The Mahouka LN is less trashy than the majority of SAO (i.e. anything after the SAO arc), but was completely unsuitable for an anime adaptation.

Man, have you guys ever played on some shitty private MMO server where the admin played in the game and cheated by making his character immortal and then challenged you to a super srs bznz PVP duel?

Because I've been there. And I don't remember getting 37 fangirls for it.

SAO 0/10.

Basically the show had some really good potential where they could have really examined the societal effects of being trapped in a game (e.g. people trying to win as fast as possible, others lose touch with reality and try to prevent it, some that want to bring the beta players to justice for not shepherding scrubs early on, etc). They touched briefly on some of these themes but then but fell into a default shitty love story.

And the narration was always glossing over seemingly immense statements (oh it's been a few months and 90% of the players have died). Like wtf? But then it didn't seem like there were fewer players.

The LNs get pretty trashy too, though the introduction of Lina makes it marginally more bearable
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

I think everybody's SAO experience works something like this:


Step 1: Oh great it's another shitty anime about VR video game crap.

Step 2: Oh wait what? Okay this might be cool.

Step 3: Hey this is really cool!

Step 4: I love this!

Step 5: Wait why are they doing this now get back to the cool stuff.

Step 6: So, is the show like, over now?

Step 7: Nope, nope, not over. Okay, I guess I'll give this new arc a shot...

Step 8: PLEASE MAKE IT STOP

Step 15: WHY IS IT NOT STOPPED YET



At some point between step 8 and 15 you realize that Log Horizon is infinitely better and watch that instead, BTW.

I've read all the translated LN. It's still trashy tbh. Neo just tells me I must stop thinking about it so much and just let it flow instead. There's a lot of things about the story I'd consider just not well written. It suffers from the same sort of thing SAO suffers from where the MC is the least interesting character but is the one you spend the most time with.

It's still fun and way better than SAO though. Just one of the worse things I've read last few years. Even Sanderson's first novel is better written and that's kind of trashy imo.

I had no problems with the first story arc. I thought it was great start to finish.

Second story arc was the worst anime to happen to me since Tears to Tiara.

If you go by what the animators spend the most detail on, the best character in SAO is Sinon's butt, clearly.

Nah I would just go infinite money and win the game by buying all the resources.

I didn't say it wasn't trashy, just less trashy than SAO.

The most promising part of Mahouka is it's technobabble approach to magic, which actually could make it a decent setting for roleplay. But the characters suck (particularly the primary characters--some of the secondary characters are potentially interesting but not well developed).
