Iggy Azalea? Not you too.

Listening to her music is like this scene from Wrath of Khan.

I've heard. In all seriousness, I actually have thought about about watching it. I get the impression it's long though. I'm not playing catch up on long series unless I get some inescapable urge to really want to check  "I've watched Jojo too" off the list of things to do. That's why I don't watch One Piece. I hear it's good but I'm not wasting my time with that.

Well the best part is like 13 episodes. Each part is different from each other.

So far it will have 75 episodes when this season ends and might even get to 200 episodes in the future if the whole series is animated. Personally, I would recommend not to watch Stardust Crusaders, it is quite boring. Just watch Jojo (2012) it's only 25 episodes.

Wow, I just finished Sword Art Online. It was pretty great. I don't play many MMO's, but this was a good representative of how people act online and how many rpg's are. It was very fun to watch, the animation was great from something by A-1 pictures. Kirito is called the black swordsman, I think this is a berserk reference. Also, Kirito is a very well developed character and I like how the game explores how a gamer would act if they were stuck in a virtual world for years.

 

Asuna herself is a well written female character. She turned from a helpless girl to a skilled player. Her relationship with kirito was very realistic. If a real person was stuck in a game for years and they don't know how to escape so they found love.

 

There are a lot more good things I could say about this series. I'm really looking forward to season 2. I might wait till it gets dubbed though.

Meh, the first half of the first season and the second half of the second season were pretty good, but not good enough to make up for the middle half of the series IMO.  

 

While the series does have some cool action sequences, generically likable characters, and an occasionally engaging storyline, it also has a lot of problems. The first one to become apparent is how short the character arcs for all of the characters who aren't Kirito and Asuna are. A few episodes after Kirito meets them, they just stop developing and melt into the background. Do you remember who Lisbeth, Silica, and Klein are? I don't either. I had to look them up. You won't remember who Suguha is long into Season 2 either.

Spoiler

Or Sinon.

Over time, girls who Kirito has been nice to start to follow him around and do absolutely nothing relevant to the plot. A collective that superficially resembles the harems of other animes, but only exists to fill space on the screen. I challenge anyone who reads this to name a way in which their role differs from that of the dinosaur George Lucas added to Mos Eisley in the 1997 version of Star Wars.

The second problem with the series is that Kirito is such a Mary Sue. Foolishly, I tricked myself into thinking it wasn't going to get any worse after the big bad told Kirito that he had given him the ability to dual wield because he was the specialist snowflake in the virtual world, but it did. In the Alfheim Online arc, it turns out that virtual reality mumorpuger players can convert their avatars to work in other games, so they can keep their stats. I'm not saying it necessarily would have been a good thing if Kirito had to grind in Alfheim, then it would have been even longer before the only consistently interesting character in the series could be rescued. But the show's creators seem to be afraid of handicapping Kirito in any meaningful way. He has to be the best at everything he ever does with no practice at all. And in season 2

Spoiler

it only gets worse, Kirito wins a worldwide Gun Gale Online tournament like 3 days after he picked up the game. It wasn't even similar to the games he had played before.

And of course, his sister falls in love with him.

The third problem is that Asuna doesn't get to do anything in the middle half of the series. She was easily the most likable character in the series, and it was much harder to tolerate all the bad parts of Sword Art Online without her.

The fourth problem is the show's infantile portrayal of rape and sexual harassment. It was bad enough when Silica got attacked by that one plant monster, Evil Dead style. I mean seriously? What were the game developers thinking? Who thought that giving the monsters this behavior was a good idea? Why would anyone want to play a game in which you can get raped by the trash mobs? But then, it gets even worse when Asuna gets attacked by literal tentacle rape monsters, and then molested right in front of Kirito. Up until this point, Asuna had been one of the strongest characters in the series, but she got reduced to a macguffin for Kirito to fight over with rapists.

Spoiler

And then in Season 2, they did it again. Sinon gets molested, and has to be rescued by Kirito.

Having the female characters getting molested by the villains right in front of Kirito is just a really cheap way to get an emotional reaction out of the audience, and is indicative of the studio's creative bankruptcy.

Spoiler

The way Kirito held Sinon after defeating her in the tournament was really creepy too.

 

My god, why do I keep watching this?

[TheClonesLegacy]

^All of this.

 

Though Mothers Rosario wasn't that bad.

Problem was it just kinda ends.

Yuuki is better off dead. If the show had let her live, she just would have become part of the background.

Liking SAO but not Stardust Crusaders, the heresy just doesn't stop.

It's like mistaking salt for sugar to make sweets.

That's not what I mean.

 

Spoiler

She dies, and that should've been the end right there.

The bit with the funeral, the other sleeping night girl, and the "Reveal" Kayayba made the medical VR system was really pointless

It broke the momentum of the ending and makes you feel like there should've been more to it.

[Zekka]

Maybe because one is boring and the other one isn't. Also, Stardust Crusaders kind of sucks and Jotaro isn't cool.

My god, why do I keep watching this?

Kirito is a beater, which means that he played the beta and he was good at it. He was that good. You know how some people are good in COD to be number 1? That's kirito. If you were beat by the number player in COD online, would you call them a mary sue? Also, some games allow you to transfer your saved game to the other one. Mass effect series anyone.

 

I didn't remember those girls but kirito is such a powerful and influential character in the game. That's why the women were in love with him, they're stuck in a virtual world and one guy is showing that he's strong enough to break out of it while still being nice.

 

Asuna was captured by a weird well written villain. She couldn't do anything about it.

 

I don' think the devs programmed it to be like rape. It's sort of like how you can rape people in GTA V and rockstar never intended it to happen. Berserk also had someone rape the main female and no one is complaining.

 

You're watching it because it truly is a great anime. I've seen the first episode of season 2 and Sinon is a badass female and the 360 no scope was cool.

[Zekka]

Watch Log Horizon for good MMO stuff.

 

Heard enough stuff from bro to avoid SAO like the plague.

Databasu? Yeah I'll watch it, but I doubt that it can even touch SAO

Kirito outright ADMITS he cheated in the beta.

That's why they call him a beater.

They don't call any of the other beta players a beater for a reason.

 

You prove him right by not remembering the other girls. You mean like those other front line players? Klein and his friends, the male members of the Blood Oath Alliance? Hell Klein's a nicer guy than Kirito is.

 

His big plan involved mind control. That's Saturday morning cartoon level stupid.

 

The Jello monsters were coded by the villain. Nuff said. I've been playing GTAV since launch. I have never heard of this before. Probably because Berserk has a niche audience, SAO is pretty mainstream.

 

In SAO 2 he does stuff in GGO that he should've have because it's possible. Including dodging and deflecting bullets (I don't care how good your reflexes are, you are physically not able to do that, and he does it at point blank range, against pro level players, with a full on honest to god, hardly even royalty free lightsaber), GGO is a shooter game, he's not playing Metal Gear Rising!

I don't play CoD, but if I did get beat by the top player, I would assume that they had to practice. It made sense for him to be good at Sword Art Online, but it didn't make sense how he picked up Alfheim Online and Gun Gale Online so quickly. Also, if CoD rewarded the top player with the ability to dual wield chainsaw grip mini guns, it would not improve the experience for any of the other players.

You don't remember those girls because they never do anything. Just because Kirito is really strong and nice and they're all in love with him, that doesn't mean the writers had to write them with less personality than Roombas on Prozac.

 

The villain who captured Asuna wasn't well written, nothing he did make sense. He was a very rich and successful man, and he could have gotten plenty of women who weren't Asuna with those characteristics alone. And yet, he chose to ruin his own life by raping a teenager in a video game. What a badass. If he had just left Asuna alone, he probably could have gotten away with his plot to invent mind control.

The developers screwed up. They screwed up worse than any devs have ever screwed up before.

You think Sinon is a badass?

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Yeah...Sinons coolness goes down, and then there's nothing left during Calibur.
