I didn't say anything about you not being allowed to have that opinion. But yes, the anti-SAO crowd is present in this thread, at least. Not like it's unwarranted. SAO is awful.


To you anyway.

To me, SAO is a great series. I get that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but sometimes seeing something you love get shit on so much gets tiring after a while.

If you want to discuss this further, that's cool. Otherwise, I'm just leave the thread here, since my opinion on SAO is obviously unwelcome by most here.

Watched Akira the other day after a friend recommended it to me. Honestly, it was an incredibly overrated film that only has good visuals going for it, nothing else is really remarkable about it other than that. I shouldn't have expected much, though, considering it compressed 87 fucking manga chapters into 2 hours of film.

You're most certainly welcome to stay around in this thread, if you want. While most of the regulars here are going to heavily disagree with your opinion on SAO, you shouldn't feel unwelcome because of it.

To be frank, I won't discuss why I think SAO is really, really awful simply because everything I would say has already been said in this video.

So does Asuna, tbh. She had a really good character design. I actually bought a daki of her. Shame it's going to be used for a parody of an ISIS execution video though.

As far as the Nip ships go I only have Myogi, Mutsuki, and Furutaka. Can't wait to get Kongou tho, she's a good ship.

Luminesa wrote:Nooooo! :(

To be honest, she was the only decent character from SAO but she's still pretty shit-tier, mainly due what she was turned into in the second half of season 1.

Still burning her though.

Asuna probably is one of the best characters in SAO, especially since she had a whole arc meant to develop her (Mother's Rosario)

Kongou is great. So much time in Myogi chasing after Kongou's shouting 'NOTICE ME KONGOU-SENPAI'.

I just got my Fuso. I have no credits anymore but so worth it.

Asuna was one of the few characters in SAO I liked, and enjoyed being around. Mostly cause she had more character to her than 'harem girl of the week'. As I've said before there were a few things SAO did pretty well, but--especially in the second half of S1--the things that it did poorly or just really, really, creepy ruined any enjoyment I had of the show. Like, some of the things they did to Asuna in the Alfheim Arc were almost 'Love Nectar' level of 'Oh god why' for me.
