I watched it prior to this community turning me into a squidward, and I basically enjoyed the first arc and every other arc has been bad or hilariously bad.
Like the gun game one. The triggered finger gun thing was amazing
Glad to see you're enjoying the silliness of this also, lol

It is. I watched all 1st half in like a day cause I was hooked.
I enjoyed SAO way before I knew people thought it was shit, too =/
I mean, sure, I could do with less harem, the tentacle part in S1's 2nd cour, less Sinon ass shots and unnecessary drama in S2's 1st cour, and more male characters, but overall it was very entertaining.
I only read through one of the many .hack, and I don't even remember which one was it, but I enjoyed SAO way more. I also couldn't get past the first 3 episodes of Log Horizon. I don't know what that says about me.

...i kind of like those episodes.
nothing in it is earned in any way but they kinda make me happy even though I only really like Asuna.

I'm in the same boat. Back then I watched seasonal anime but never frequented forums or anything like that. Little did I know that people hated the show ahaha.

I'm generally a positive person here but I legitimately cannot understand you when it comes to this.
Look, I'll admit that there were moments of SAO that I enjoyed. The Blue Demon fight, and the part where Asuna confesses to Kirito that she wishes their relationship was real, parts like those were good.
But SAO overall is a show where a mass-murderer is praised for his actions of helping one teenage boy defeat a rapist in a virtual online game! It's a show where we're supposed to feel sorry for a girl that wants to have sex with her own brother. How can someone defend that? How?!?
Don't tell me to simply turn my brain off and accept it for what it is, when what it is is something we clearly should be concerned about!
How somebody, anybody, can look at the entirety of episode 24 and say: "that was good" is mind-boggling. The fact that it made so much money and millions like it honestly kind of scary when I think about it.

It's still R_thanoses' fault for making watch anime in the first place. All because I wanted to play Hollow Fragment on my Vita, so I had to watch the first arc and now look... It's a shame he doesn't come around here anymore, he needs to take responsibility...
Come back brotha..
I'll way over simplify since I'm half asleep and I need to put GAF down.
A) It's entertaining as fuck
B) It's not going to ever win any literature awards, nor does it need to
C) It's fiction and after watching a ton of anime now, that whole bro x sis thing is so mild compared to much worse stuff out there..
D) It was the first anime series I ever really watched
E) It's entertaining as fuck.
Goodnight.

This season seems way more...theatrical I guess? Maybe it's just this episode but all the reactions are super overplayed (in a theatrical way, not like overly dramatic) they bust out into song mid scene like a musical
How did Honkers become student council prez anyway? Don't you have to have good grades for that

I am now looking at Star Driver clips and wondering why we don't get mecha action that looks that good now.
S1 Nozomi ≠ S2 Nozomi
I still feel let down because I apparently misread something in the second half where I assumed she knew that the guy in Alfheim was her brother (he looks the exact same but with elf ears, for crying out loud) but he didn't know it was her... because well, she's a big buxom blonde lady instead of a big buxom black haired girl.
So you know, I thought she was hanging out with him in ALO to form a relationship with him under false pretenses because it was too awkward to try to form a relationship in real life with someone who'd effectively been in a coma as far as the outside world goes while undergoing a somewhat traumatic experience.
So when the big reveal happened and she goes "You're Kirito?!" I had to pause it and just sit in a state of confusion for a few minutes as I processed the events that just happened.
I guess that would've actually been half decent writing and would have had no place.
also lisbeth best sao

If not that it's also a harem. Any promise it showed disappeared.
But those are the best things about the show!

episode 9 with dat tease
Is Obi in that harem and does he have any chance?
Please say yes because I can't watch another season of the yawn-inducingly perfect Zen.

Not to say that Aqua deserved to be berated by Kazuma because that's unfair, but she really blew it. All that super water magic did was blow a hole in the entrance wall like the Colossal Titan.
At least the special reward for the special quest was good enough to get all the end game gear, except the repair fee for the wall is way more than that. They'll have to pay it all back and are in debt again. These four are stuck together whether Kazuma likes it or not, lmao.

Certainly thats my favourite part so far. Though I haven't dipped into the next superlong arc yet. I did also like Mothers Rosario. I wouldnt say I love SAO...think I gave it 6 on MAL.

Officially reached season 2 of GATE and judging by the OP its gonna be fucking great, also watching anime on crunchrolly on your WiiU is great cause alot of the times after a while the ads would just glitch out and would skip them automaticall
You know... that... actually sounds like it'd be a cool ending. Memorable at least.
I'm still surprised there's a season 2 since season 1 ended as well as it did.
How is season 2 so far?

holy shit when did this turn into GoT
Calling it a harem is stretching it a lot. It's not even a love triangle yet.
Yes, when you're not looking.
the best part of the show is for sure the entireity of sword art online, but I still like the other arcs as well
(the newlywed stuff was cute but I was glad it wasn't that long)
it's just a fun watch and that really is the most important thing for me. "am I enjoying what I am watching." I don't need a deep involved plot or fancy art stuff, I am happy just enjoying stuff because I am having fun.
granted deep plots aren't bad nor is nice art but it's my scale for most things.
did I have fun - Yes = good No = Bad
some shows I would love to enjoy but just dislike instead... though in regards to sword art, I just have a soft spot for that type of setting and that type of main character. I like pretty much all the light novels with the main characters that do setting breaking things because I find them fun lol.

i'm glad you guys had fun with it i guess. when i wasn't either disgusted by its content or disappointed by the completely rubbish storytelling i was bored stiff. only got through sao with a group watch and will probably never watch s2 because fuuuuuuuuuuck that.
although god knows because i have an obsessive personality i'll probably end up rewatch s1 at least once just to figure out why exactly i think its storytelling is rubbish, since that's the kind of thing i usually pick up intuitively on. but any show that has me repeatedly yelling angrily at the tv usually has a pretty good reason for me not liking it
i'm definitely not arguing from some mythical place of deep plots only. i mean i love gurren lagann and girls und panzer and all kinds of stuff that has at heart a really simple story, often of pretty basic progression with very little multi plot thread shennanigans.
why do i engage with these all the time? some part of me hurts when people say they enjoy sao i guess. i should get that checked
