I'm being honest, this was a boring goddamn disappointment.

Damn...

seeing three SAO threads per day give me the urge to rewatch arc 1.
reminds me of the good old time when I was a pleb with shit taste.

>>146448444
I'm being honest. It didn't feel.as epic as j thought it'd be.

>>146448602
Wow...

The threads were pretty dank

yes welcome to /a/ newfriend

>>146448312
sao was written at the same time as .hack//sign was being aired. That makes it over a decade old piece of fanfiction shit and people still like it. People can be so fucking shit and have shit taste

>>146449928
.hack was cooler

>>146450022 >>146449928
I like the .hack serieses. I don't know why I like them, they're pretty dull, but I just like them. I guess they are relaxing or something.

>>146450155
>>146450022
dubs speak truth
.hack was good but also very time consuming. It's nice to help you fall asleep

>>146450335
Sao makes me fall asleep VERY easily. It's so slow to me. I'm partially surprised it hot all that buzz

>>146448312
The only good thing to come out of it were the doujins.

>>146448312
I like SAO.

>>146448312
I consider SAO abridged to be canon and regular SAO is a fan fiction.

>>146451538
the writing is fanfiction tier. The author was 18 at the time of writing

>>146448312
how the fuck that little girl has enough strenght to wield that axe

>>146448461
How did you develop better taste and how long ago was this?

>>146451908
last month :D

>>146448312
why ? the girls were 10/10 and the ost . the rest was shit

>>146448312

It was monstrously overhyped and advertised by Aniplex as something it's really not and for some reasons fans still see it as this cool death game thing that's about MMO culture and grand storylines instead of stale waifu harem LN shit. Brilliant marketing strategy, just complete bullshit unfortunately.

>>146449928
It's sad that wish fulfillment garbage like this gets so popular, while anime that actually take chances and focus on story and substance get barely any attention.

>>146452416
girls aren't 10/10. You know why? Because they have no chivalry and character. All they want and all their goals are just sucking kirito dick

>>146452523
well the psychology is ingame death was interesting but they dropped it and focused on kirito look good instead of creating more despair for us to enjoy. I hope season 3 is better though. They could learn something from Re:zero

>>146452523
This.

>>146452755
yeah

The worst thing about SAO is it made people praise log horizon when it was fucking awful.

S1 of SAO is probably better or on par with S1 of LH. In fact everything but cour 2 of season 1 is better in SAO.

>>146451908
by watching more anime.
At first you don't know if it's this anime who is shit or if all anime are shit

>>146451737

>>146454516
Kirito has an IQ over 160 then?

>>146451671
The author is 42 so that would make it 24 years ago.
I don't think he was writing it 24 years ago in 1992.

>>146452523
This, Aniplex is a beast compared to a lot of other anime licensors. They know they are sitting on a gold mine and they know how to milk it right.

I fully expect side-by-side massive PR of SAO (movie) and Re:Zero next year since the audience for the two are similar.

Not even trying to defend SAO here, but... seriously?

What does that have to do with the quote?

Recent article on SAO and the Hollywood live-action adaptation.

>US+UK combined figures for SAO LN sales is at 360,000 volumes
>Taiwan alone is at 1,450,000 volumes
>China mainland is 3,720,000 volumes
US/UK markets have a long ways to go

>>146455626
Most people who like SAO are newfags and newfags don't buy light novels if they buy anything at all.

>>146455837
Then who's buying all the volumes in China, especially Taiwan?

>>146455909
I meant western newfags.

>>146455626
The eternal anglo strikes again

>>146455909
Serious? Chinese fucks have a ton of light novels. Forgot the name for them but all of them are self insert martial arts bullshit and they sell tons. Its no wonder that chinks would eat it up.
