Ep 2 or 3. I basically remember the first ep, and giving it a try - but I quickly threw it aside. So it really could use a second try.

As to romance - I'm enjoying Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun thus far. Great romance/comedy in its own!

Weak characterization. Harem. Squandered potential.

Underwhelming.

Really didn't go the places it needed to to make it memorable, which is a shame.
Who'd have thought a story in which the premise "you die in the game, you die for REAL" would be so tame?

SAO in short is:

"Oh my god! Kirito-san is such a stud! F**k me I'll have your baby!"

Hilariously melodramatic adventure of Gary-stu, catered towards MMO geeks.

But hey, it succeeds in what it does. That's really all that matters, you know.
Writing? Plot? No, my e-penis is the size of a tower. All is good in the world.

And quite frankly there's nothing wrong with that.
Just like there's nothing wrong with sh!tty written porn.
SAO is insanely popular, much in the same reason Twilight is.

I wouldn't say it's similar to twilight. It's a different demographic entirely. (and also from ones who watch oldies, like you and I)

[Some Geth]

Yeah it's not "Twilight"(or is it? ), but it's popular for the same reasons. You know, bad writing that anyone can fanboy/girl over.

Because young teen girls feel frustrated they don't get glittering vampires or that life is boring?

Maybe, but minus the glittering vampires/little girls.

[Some Geth]

You are still thinking demographics, I was never talking about demographics. I was just talking about how it's similar to Twilight, or even Bayformers' popularity.

[eroeru]

Yeah.

Though I'd say Twilight isn't loved because of bad writing per se.
The demographic and escapism are really the reasons in themselves.

(for all I know you're right if Twilight was about simplistic escapism - that could be a reason for liking SAO. In this case it's the pure "awesomeness" though, not so much "frustrating feelings" or such)

Because Sword Art Online goes a little overboard with the romance.

[eroeru]

We were talking about SAO the entire time if you weren't noticing.

@ThePinkFozz I i thought you read One Piece too? You should know that after the crappy Fishman Island arc, the series got back to what it's good at.

Misread that as ThePinkFonz then.

@Geth Um. I wouldn't compare it to Twilight. I hate Twilight, but I love SAO.
Not saying that you're not entitled to your opinion of course, because you are and I get that some people wouldn't like it.

I do have issue with some of your observations though. I wouldn't really call it harem based too, if ever manage to watch past the first few episodes you'll see what I mean. There is hardly anything porn like in it at all, so I'm not really too sure if we're watching the same series?

Oh yeah, I used to read One Piece, and I've heard from a lot of people it gets better after the Fishman arc. I just didn't pick it up again after that. I don't know why, I just got bored

Typos, they happen.

@ThePinkFoxx I was just saying that SAO is popular for the same reason Twilight is. I also didn't say SAO was like porn, I was saying there is nothing wrong with liking SAO or sh!tty written porn.

Overboard with the romance?!?!?!

I'm only 8 episodes in, to say such a thong could even be possible is just....I'll have to see this to believe it.

Uh...what typos?

[Some Geth]

I'm sure there's been more than 10k sales of Kochikame in the past 1 year.
They probably just don't have the updated numbers.  It's kinda hard to track it when you have nearly 200 volumes.  

Double checked, the figure is just lifted off wikipedia, and that entry was updated 2011. So yeah. They just don't know the 2012 figures.

Geez. OP sold more volumes in the last year than Hakusho, Kenshin or Hunter have in their entire lifetimes, and about as many as Bleach.  

And it was just like 2 years ago they were making a HUGE deal out of it hitting the unprecedented 200 million mark with advertisements on the subways and stuff. It'll be at 300 by this time next year easily it seems.  

WHY is it having such a ridonculous surge at this point in time?

Hey, at least it made the list. And don't forget Togashi also has HxH on the list too!
