holy fuck Sword Art Online might be the worst anime ive ever seen. youre supposed to believe the characters care deeply about each other despite the brief time knowing each other/few moments of bonding shown, paper thin characters that i dont give a shit about when they die, poor pacing, poor direction, detraction from the main plot into a bunch of stupid uninteresting bullshit, boring dialogue, inconsistent main character who doesnt seem to have any real personality, stupid useless female characters all with the same personalities that all end up having some juvenile crush on the main character and do that cringey "err its not like that!" bullshit....i could go on and on. fuck this shitty anime.

Yes. It was almost as bad as NGE in my books and I've them both 3/10 in MAL :^)

...

So what actually makes SAO popular and so many people rating it highly despite the common knowledge that it was mediocre at best?

Defan please translate faster.

fuckin teenagers, i dont know.

The fact that you touch yourself at night

Just watch SAO 2.0

It's just as bad and currently hyped.

Kirito is self-insert fodder.

Sword Art Online was good

Explain how.

Sup Forums

anime will be dead because of sao and sao 2.0

and Attack on Faggot

At least it pretends to be self aware.

Coz all these 14 years old losers gave it a 10 cause its a about a game wow best anime

worst thing is my friend who is a year older than me (26) is into that shit. just what the fuck, how can you be older than 19 and enjoy it.

Dramatic SAO fanboys may be annoying but people who insist it's the worst anime they've ever seen is just as bad. Both are indicators of someone who hasn't finished 50 anime.

SAO was a series with huge potential that it squandered. What I don't get is the whole Aincrad story feels incredibly rushed, but it's rushed so they can write a story where...he gets stuck in another MMO. It makes no sense, why not just flesh out his story in Aincrad and fill in the huge lapses in time between each episode rather than rushing through it to essentially tell the exact same story again?

of course its not literally the worst anime ever you dense fuck.

People tend to circlejerk about that though.

I'm impressed the hate didn't devolve into the hatedom killing the fans

I only enjoyed the implied rape scenes

no, not literally. its still one of the worst ones ive ever seen though.

This. SAO for edgelord and fedora tippers. Also less popular so hipster sense doesnt get tingled as hard.

let's be honest, we'd all like SAO if Sinon was the main girl instead

Wait a fucking moment

the original SAO anime was incredibly mediocre with cliché tropes.

the fairy arc was unnecessary and boring.

if you want to call it shit, I won't disagree but I think Sup Forums exaggerates on how bad it really is. we'll have another thread about it this week though; we always do.

wouldnt fix the terrible writing. the creators of that show have no business making any kind of story.

>glopping sound

Of course this shit was written in 1st person.

Asuna a shit. A SHIT.

Yeah people had know that shit for years, why bother making a thread?

nigger, im not an anime buff, i watch one once in awhile. i have no idea what kinds of discussions are held on it. popular consensus seemed to be that it was a good show, and my friend was insisting that i watch it because it was apparently so good. watching it disgusted me so i decided to bitch about it on Sup Forums, fuck else am i gonna do.

Fuck off.

nice dubs you dumb faggot.

Shitting on SAO is so fucking easy that is not even fun anymore.
You should get with the times and shit on Re:Zero like all the cool kids do now

yes yes well done well done OP

HOWEVER

try watching the umineko anime, and you'll realize that sword art online is a masterpiece

well like i said, im not apart of the anime community, i have no idea how much SAO gets shat on.
