Shut up Cthulu

 

[Regiruler]

fantasy fulfillment

I'M not being fufilled

 

[Imperial Bishop]

I miss Token Black Guy

Agil got out before it was too late.

 

[Raxus]

So why didn't they just call this SAO3?

It's actually the 4th arc in the series.

 

[Line_HTX]

Why do people like Harem animes?

I never got this genre and how it got popular

Because people like projections. They want to have that when they can't.

 

[Man God]

SAO understands harem animé as well as it understands video games

Clear front runners and a bunch of also rans is literally how this genre started.

 

[BassForever]

Cuz the next full arc is like the length of SAO and SAO2 combined plus more. Lol.

Isn't the next full arc still ongoing?

 

[Amikami]

Appa did it better. *yawn*

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Why do people like Harem animes?

Tenchi Muyo is alright.

 

[B-Dubs]

Because of Urusai Yatsura and Ah! My Goddess, I guess.

Goddess isn't really a harem, more of a romcom/slice of life thing. Love Hina is probably the birth of the modern harem.

 

[BatDan]

NOTHING. IT'S A VIDEO GAME. YOU CAN'T DIE ANYMORE.

I really wish they remembered that.
There's no more tension.

 

[Ultratech]

Someday I'd like a Cthulhu-esque airship in a game.

 

[Moaradin]

I like that they snuck in a frame that's literally just Kirito's sister ass in front of the entire screen.

 

[Shard]

I request that they all fall down and die.

 

[Htown]

"it's impossible to tame a monster"

as they ride atop a tame monster

 

[Raxus]

It's not possible to tame monsters in this game!

*has monster on head and is RIDING on a monster*

 

[Grexeno]

Oh no that poor collection of binary code

 

[Imperial Bishop]

RIP ugly monster thing.

 

[Hidden One]

but the lead and plot is so boring, Log Horizon is only as good as SAO when it focuses on Tohya squad.

True. The lead got kinda boring after around episode 14-15 because he wasn't doing anything. Tohya squad was fun.

 

[ckohler]

Tenchi Muyo is alright.

Yeah, I think harem shows work when all the characters are interesting. This.. well.. these harem members are bland.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

"it's impossible to tame a monster"

as they ride atop a tame monster

Heh.

 

[Schadenfreude]

It's just a video game, guys. Calm down.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Goddess isn't really a harem, more of a romcom/slice of life thing. Love Hina is probably the birth of the modern harem.

You're right, that and Negima.

 

[MetatronM]

THEY ARE TRASH MONSTERS IN A VIDEO GAME

 

[Jarate]

TONKY HAS FRIENDS

 

[Order]

"it's impossible to tame a monster"

as they ride atop a tame monster

Smartest anime in years

 

[Shard]

You know what Overlord, all is forgiven.

 

[Line_HTX]

ALSO OTHER SAO GIRLS > Asuna.

 

[BatDan]

Oh boo hoo, they're murdering monsters in a video game. How dreadful this is dumb.

Frost Giants? We Thor now?

 

[GaimeGuy]

oh come on, goddess waifus now?

 

[Man God]

Damn that's a huge fairy!

 

[Korigama]

Because of Urusai Yatsura and Ah! My Goddess, I guess.

Mainly because of Tenchi Muyo!, at least in the US (afternoon Toonami staple).

 

[Tamanon]

"She's an NPC", good call.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Even the NPC goddess wants to be in Kirito's harem.

 

[UltraGunner]

YES

IT'S TRUELY DISGUSTING TO KILL MONSTERS IN AN MMO

NEVER BEFORE HAS THAT EVER HAPPENED BEFORE

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Please stop saying daddy

 

[LOLDSFAN]

They've spoken at length.

 

[BassForever]

Blah blah blah exposition

 

[zedreamcast]

Oh hey Aigis.

 

[blitzwolf215]

Are they seriously makeing a big deal out of this.

 

[Seda]

does nui have to say daddy in every line

 

[Raxus]

She is an AI

*this will not amount to anything in the long run*

 

[Regiruler]

NPCS USE AI YOU DUMB ASS

 

[kayos90]

Isn't the next full arc still ongoing?

Yes rofl. It's like 8 volumes long so far. For reference, the death gun arc is 2.

 

[grandjedi6]

Yui, you really shouldn't be the one talking right now. Or ever

 

[Jarate]

Every time I hear the word "daddy" being ushered I cringe an incredible amount

 

[redmetal86]

When does Thor show up?

 

[GaimeGuy]

Please stop saying daddy

daddy

 

[Shard]

I keep hitting the buttons on my controller yet this god damned cutscene is not skipping, I hate that.

 

[B-Dubs]

So SAO is not only trying to ruin King Arthur for me, but Thor as well? Goddamn it!
