Western TV is always the complete opposite of Japanese TV.

They plan multiple seasons, not even waiting to see if the first one is successful enough. This leads to inconclusive endings.
Japan doesn't even plan to make more than one season and instead they just end their shows with a "lol go read the LN/VN" scene.

The characters in american TV have sex all day long, every day, with everyone.
Japanese characters barely hold hands within 13 episodes.

All the girls are sluts.
All the JP girls are ultra-pure maidens.

Shows are 40 minutes long.
Shows are 20 minutes long.

Every single episode from a non-comedy show ends with a cliffhanger that ends up being nothing important.
Every episode is the same.

There's literally 0% chance they'll keep the characters. USA can't into cute, so Asuna will just be your usual hollywood strong woman who rolls her eyes every time there's a man on screen and is always ultra serious.

Sillica won't exist; too young for america.

Liz will probably be an old hag now, IF she appears, and if she does she'll have no screentime.

Yui won't exist at all.

Klein is now black, although still a total bro.

Kirito will probably be full edge and no-fun-allowed dark character.

It could be alright actually maybe better than the original.
Sword art online had a cool setting, good music and fight scenes.
If the tv series fleshes out some of the characters beyond wanting the mc's dick, tons down the mc and cuts out all the fucking cringy shit romance like where they adopt a child.

Sword art online had potential but got ruined by bad characters and story.

Oh and focus more on the technology and the game, Sword art online felt like a generic fantasy rather than a video game world.

I liked Kirito/Asuna, for once the heroine is the hero's equal and they have legitimate reasons to like each other...then the first arc ended, Asuna got locked in a cage and we focus on Kirito's sister lusting after him and the other haremettes.

You don't even have to be a feminist to be miffed at that kind of thing.

Anyway, American TV is into supercouples. We don't like harems. So Asuna won't be shoved aside so quickly after her arc is done, which is already a big improvement.

Did we watch the same show?
Asuna was cool, mysterious and did not need no man at the start but then she got pulled in by mc's pussy magnet and basically become his waifu who hide behind his skirt.
Asuna was one of the worst charaters besides Kirito.
And equals? in what universe, Kirito solos a fucking MMO and hacks into game as if it was nothing.
SAO, Kirito and Asuna were shit regardless of the season.

S1 was fine, all around a decent "die in the game, die in real life" story with a good twist at the end. It's biggest failing is that it skimped on a bunch of exposition, world building, and character development.

S3 was mostly better than S1, and S4 was actually a legitimately good speculative fiction story.

S2 on the other hand was just shit with the sole highlight of letting the MC retain his badass stats because ALO is a cheap copy/paste job of SAO being a reasonably clever plot point. We'd have been better served with an arc of survivor's guilt and Suguha trying to find a way to bring her beloved brother out of it.

Which character (in addition to Agil) will they make black in this show to appease the niggers?

I hope it's Asuna.

Normally I'd laugh at you for your 3DPD fantasies, but the idea of a trapped in the game series being live action just appalls me as well.

>That could be pretty cool.
It's a husbando simulator that lets you pretend to be Kirito's waifu. Watch as he ignores you to hit things with a sword. Tremble in excitement as he blows off your advances to glop inside Asuna.

I just want to stop hearing about it.

I'm almost certainly never getting near the series again. But having people around me talk about it is a fucking pain in the ass.
>>
I dont understand why SAO got this big.

I watch all the seasons and it felt pretty mediocre. Why is this popular amongst preteen boys and normies? Is it asuna? Cause there are a hell lot of better anime girls out there. I find kirito to be extremely bland and not interesting in the slightest.

The whole premise is suppose to be a VR game world but i feel they do not expand enough on this and its just all "look at kirito do amazing things".

I am certain its not because of the LN either cause the normalfags that love SAO are anime only fags and would not even bother reading shit
>>
>>145125321
It's a concept people love but it hasn't really been capitalized on or beaten to death (I mean isekai in general has but trapped in a video game has been like four things. Tron, that one movie about dinosaurs, the .hack series, and that one episode of Dexter's Lab)

The animation is decent enough and the super forced cool protagonist appeals to normalfags.

That's generally it.
>>
>>145125321
>normies
The correct term is normalfag, crossboarding scum.
>>
>>145125205
The Batman-movies came close to it, though.
>>
>>145125321
The same reason .hack was popular back in the day. The idea of living in a video game is awesome. That's pretty much it, not that many Anime since then have gone with that concept. And SAO also has fanservice and crap.
>>
>>145127123
But he did write "normalfags".

>>145127328
I dont think you fit 4K people in a movie teather

That's because CIA failed to stop Bane.

>>145125321
>I dont understand why SAO got this big.
The premise of 'trapped in a virtual reality MMORPG' is so outrageously cool that the series itself would have to absolutely fucking suck in order to ruin it.

The whole time nothing's happening on screen, the audience is imagining what they would personally do if trapped in a VRMMO instead of noticing how fucking boring the show itself is.

Man, I still remember how much SAO disappointed me. In the opening episodes it looked so promising, Kirito was an okay starting point for a character to develop from, Asuna was a decently strong main heroine, Klein and Agil looked like fun side characters and he part with Sachi's guild dying made for some solid character development potential for Kirito.

Then episode 5 aired and the harem and wish fulfillment sections of the series really start to kick in and everything goes down hill so fast.

If only the author had written the story out over all 100 floors, could have had the entire series be focused on that and never done ALO or any of that garbage.

If only the author hadn't introduced a bunch of new female characters that only exist to be pointlessly in love with Kirito for poorly explained reasons.

If only the author didn't go all gary stu on Kirito's character

If only the author didn't turn Asuna into a weak, pathetic, generic damsel in distress style love interest.

Fucking bummed me out, the show had real potential and just blew it in favour of dumb otaku pandering fanservice bullshit and lazy story telling.
>>
>>145128592
It makes a lot of sense when you find out that the author was like 14-16 years old when he wrote SAO
>>
>>145107623
This would be an improvement.
>>
>>145107610
Well. It's not like it is a bad concept.

If they put enough money into it you could get something better than SAO out of it.

You can even get rid of stupid plot points.

Sword Art Online actually has a decent premise and in the first episode or two a really oppressive atmosphere.

The reason SAO is shit is not because of the premise, it's because it's filled with the most fucking cringy LN-tier writing and has every generic anime trope out the ass thrown into it.

I highly doubt any of this will translate to a western adaption. They will keep the concept and drop everything else.

If they have decent enough writers and showrunners, SAO could make a decent TV show.

I've actually been wondering for a long time how Western writers and showrunners would run with concepts and settings you won't find outside of anime. If this turns out decent, I wonder if we will start to see more western/anime crossovers going both directions (Western writers and show runners working on anime productions as well)

SAO was always gonna be the only 10-25 people watch this tier garbage like Arslan, Active Raid, Sacred Seven, Kiba, Samurai Harem, .hack Legend of the Twilight or devolve into SSJ4 Mars of Destruction. Entire series is irredeemable; rising to only 25 people tier garbage won't make it better.

The the SAO: Progressive manga is actually pretty good, probably because it's a reboot. So it's possible that the movie in question could be decent as well.

Most likely liquid shit though.
