holy fuck Sword Art Online might be the worst anime ive ever

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.

Just watch SAO 2.0

It's just as bad and currently hyped.

>>146367834
Kirito is self-insert fodder.

anime will be dead because of sao and sao 2.0

>>146368970
and Attack on Faggot

>>146368211
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

>>146369861
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.

>>146370889
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

>>146370889
no, not literally. its still one of the worst ones ive ever seen though.

>>146368211
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

>>146367717
Wait a fucking moment >>146370646

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 /a/ exaggerates on how bad it really is. we'll have another thread about it this week though; we always do.

>>146372085
wouldnt fix the terrible writing. the creators of that show have no business making any kind of story.

Of course this shit was written in 1st person.

>>146372185
Asuna a shit. A SHIT.

>>146367717
Yeah people had know that shit for years, why bother making a thread?

>>146372364
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 4chan, fuck else am i gonna do.

>>146372496
Fuck off.

>>146372700
nice dubs you dumb faggot.

>>146372931
