It would have made SAO somewhat interesting, and we can't have that. Now, to be honest, I liked the series when I first started watching it, and I thought it might be good. Turns out I was way wrong, but I did find some enjoyment in it at first.

Wasn't the game sold physically at Japanese stores only in a limited print run of 10,000 copies? At least that's what I recall from the LN. Maybe Heathcliff didn't want too many people in his game, but it still seems like a bad business decision to have no digital distribution.
>>149539593
This might be news to you, but in East Asia generally girls prefer slender pretty boys (see: literally every otome game and shojo manga ever)
Hell even in the West lots of girls go for that (see Twilight)
>>149539593
Except that it would only be for appearance, not reflect into in-game stats.
Kirito goes for 3/2 STR/DEX, and he grinds all day long so no other 3/2 character will overpower him, and 4/1 wouldn't be ever able to catch up to Asuna (And if Kirito outlevels them by more than 4-to-3-ratio, he still beats them in strength)

>>149541730
Fun memories, indeed.
>>149541811
The next few episodes would follow the adventures of the party. The archer MC slowly finds himself growing more attracted to the musclegirl barbarian, but he also maintains that he's still attracted to the princess. There's not so much a harem as there is a love triangle (which is already a step up as far as anime goes). The 10th episode or so should be the climactic battle against the demon king, with episodes 11 and 12 being the party's reception as heroes. But this is also where the MC chooses between the musclegirl and the princess and, more importantly, between staying and going home. In the end, the MC chooses neither girl and opts to go home. The princess accepts his decision with (apparant) dignity, but the musclegirl gets emotional as fuck, saying she has just started to accept the MC. They part ways with a kiss and the MC returns to his own world. In a bittersweet twist he decides to never play the MMORPG everything took place in again (it would bring up too many painful memories) and somehow manages to find a job.Episode 13/the OVA is a "True Ending" that overrides everything that happened in episode 12 and shows us what would've happened if the MC stayed behind and started a family with the musclegirl.
And that's what my ideal isekai anime would look like. Thoughts?

I only need a few features to build a story around.

>PKers are actually worse at clearing the game than PVE builds, and don't stand a chance. Instead of outright killing other players, they're monopolizing weaker bosses and drop locations. MC has to make these guys back off, but at least he's equipped to do so.
- There are cheaters who have figured out how to leave the game alive.
>But they're assholes who refuse to share with anyone, and they've made themselves invulnerable. Plot hook: they need the MC's help, first.
-Developers trapped in their own creation
>Some of the dev team got stuck in the lockdown, and now they lack the privileges to escape. They're the only ones who can get the MC around bugs that would make the game unwinnable.

>Players have to use a forum to contact each other, and meet at a certain place to trade items.
>Lore of an area is explained by the game itself as Player's progress.
That could be a forum in a literal sense.
What I hate about more recent "stuck in an mmo" and/or "isekai" anime is that the don't really put much effort into world building. Not that you really need to great lengths to explain the history of a fake game world inhabited by players, but a game world designed with memorable locations would be nice. Most more or less revolve around a single, boring town.

>>149543245
If I'm allowed to play the devil's advocate, the Aincrad arc had potential. It really did have a lot of potential, as the setting was pretty interesting: an MMORPG death game. It just has minor flaws that end up building up and becoming worse and worse in later arcs, such as:
>Inconsistent character development (Time is of the essence, but Kirito and Asuna still find the time to relax. But not because they've given up or anything. The author just wanted cute moments that couldn't happen if time really was of the essence)
>Kiri-Jesus bullshit. The introduction of Heathcliff actually made me pretty exited because it not only meant Kirito wasn't the only one with a unique skill, but there was actually someone (perhaps multiple people?) with skills better than that of Kirito. It meant something of a conflict, hurdles Kirito had to overcome if he wanted to be the best. But of course anyone who's better than Kiritohas to be both a cheater and a villain. A "veater" if you will.
>Forced anti-betatester drama
>Plotpoints are introduced only to never be touched on again (like the fucking resurrection item. Would it have been so hard to just say "it doesn't work/it was only a rumor" and get it over with?)
>The entire ending of the Aincrad arc
Unlike the Elf arc, the Aincrad arc could've been saved with some minor changes.

>To defeat them the main characters get 2,000 Japanese VRMMO players to connect. Despite the difference in numbers the Japanese are superior and win because Asian gamer damashii.
>Then PoH (who is also an evil NSA agent) unleashes a zerg rush of Korean and Chinese gamers who were recruited by being told this is the a Korean VRMMO that's in beta test but evil Japanese hackers broke into the server, turned off pain dampening and are torturing their countrymen.
>Even when some Japs who speak Korean try to explain the situation to them they don't listen because hurr japanese
>The other NSA guys are surprised this works, they thought it wouldn't be worth it because they didn't think Japan is more different from Korea/China than European countries are from each other (hur)
>Koreans and Chinese overwhelm Japs because this is every Jap's worst nightmare.
>(Also PoH's motivation is that he's Korean and he hates Japanese so when he got stuck in SAO he decided to set up Laughing Coffin and have them and the clearers kill each other for shits and giggles because Nips killing each other is hilarious.)

Would open the series up to a lot more possibilities.
Obviously everyone is still speaking japanese because the japs would never hire foreigners to voice foreign characters, but just make the russians whiter and give every brazilian character a brownish tan and you're good.
What really matters now is the question of loyalty. Are players going to choose to be loyal to their guilds and in-game friends? Will they instead choose to band up with people from their country? Will there be portions of the gameworld where people of a single nationality all live together claiming it as a kingdom? What happens to those who wander into an area belonging to one group while not belonging? What about people who have characters that don't fit their racial profile?
Japs are fucking terrible at videogames so they'd get rolled.

First off, seeing as how game mechanics are simply abstractions of real life, they wouldn't be needed. So it would rather be a "trapped in fantasy world that was derived from an MMO".
>MC is 20-30 fully or partially college educated but with no job or relationships at that time
>MC and other players do not get any powers at all as they are their real life selves
>low-ish fantasy where vast majority of humans have no magic or magical powers
>it was an international server so there are many other players from all over the world
>these players start aggregating by nationality, forming groups, guilds, and even small nations trying to fit into the already existing world
>most of this is violent, dirty, and underhanded, it's not that everyone is a massive cunt just because they can, but they'd rather not be the ones dying
>MC is a "sociopath", at least partially, who is more in line with Machiavelli or Cao Cao than, say, Shirou and his stupid ideals
>MC has a few goals he burns for, but very little moral restraints in terms of the means to those ends
>MC gets stronger and smarter over the course of the show but is a normal human, never a match for an orc, elf, let alone a manticore
>not many fights where MC is involved, at least not initially, if there are it's more a stabbing in an alleyway than a duel
>mostly follows the MC climbing the socio-economic ladder through overt and covert dealings and acts
>something along the lines of Spice&Wolf with more murder and rotten behaviour later transitioning into LoGH as the MC ends up with more power

From the top of my head, I can think of some episodes.
>Since the game updates athlete stats based on their real life counterparts, one specific guy gets a huge buff because he's on a good streak IRL, turning into a wild chase to contract him

I don't get the shitstorm. Why are Americans buttmad about a Japanese show starring Japanese characters and aimed at a Japanese demographic wanking off the Japanese military? Are Americans really that easily offended by anything that doesn't depict America as the greatest thing since sliced bread? Is this also why France was cut out of Battlefield 1?
>>149545784
Why would France even be in a WW1 game.
I'd want the NPC's to be the main characters, and they just do their comfy SOL thing while all these OP as fuck adventurers run around like gods murderlooting everything. Town guards are bros with nothing to do since their city is basically filled with unstoppable, endlessly respawning killing machines hellbent on doing anything for a few gold and threatening the peace is basically suicide. NPCs get together and compete to see who can come up with the worst quest and actually get some dumb sap to take it. No "you die irl if you die in game" shit, just town shenanigans from the perspective of the people who live there.
>>149545784
the japanese military is literally based off the US military and is practically a subset of it at this point, acting as if they could beat the US is more unrealistic then magic gates opening in Tokyo

Yes.

I dunno man, Japan has tech newer than WW2, judging by America's abysmal military record it would be a hard one. Maybe if they pull in all their allies they could manage a victory.

>World War I
United States help contribute to the fall of the German Empire by pressuring them to an assault as the Germans were planning on going on the defensive, sending more troops to the Austrians to beat back the Italians, and make a break to the Ottoman's. You dumb fuck.
>World War II
>Did nothing
United States practically solo'd the Japanese Empire, Liberated France (W/ British Assistance), Took Italy, and was a main fighting force in the Western Front.
>Korean War
>Wrecked
The Korean War the United States dominated the North Koreans after offering full military assistance and pushed them to China. After that China joined into the war, began a push back, their logistics went to shit, and instead of wrecking China the US agreed with the Soviets to a cease fire which allowed Chin to recover its logistics creating the ARMISTICE we have now. United States was fr from wrecked.
>Vietnam War
>NK, North Korea
You don't know history. United States defensive campaigns within South Vietnam and bombing of North Vietnam targets allowed it to defend South Vietnam from communist fall until the Treaty of Paris 1973 which ended its involvement in the Vietnam Conflict in exchange for S.Vietnam and N.Vietnam being two independent states, the troops completely drawn and a few years later N.Vietnam went back on the treaty and annexed S.Vietnam who no longer received US protection and assistance.
>Iraq and Afghanistan
US raped the shit out the Iraqi military, 1 week was straight up bombing the fighting on the ground barely happened as the opposing army surrendered in droves.
You don't know shit about history or you are trolling me.
>>149546632

>United States... Liberated France (W/ British Assistance), Took Italy, and was a main fighting force in the Western Front.
Hahaha holy fuck I thought this was just an /int/ meme to make fun of Americans but you're actually fucking serious, aren't you?
>>149545784
I'm a burger, and I don't really care. We do it all the time with our Movies and TV shows.
You have to remember the whole Military worship is ingrained into our heads when we are young. That's why alot of Americans were butthurt with that episode where they took out those Special Forces. What did people except though, it's a Japanese show based on story written by a pretty adamant Japanese nationalist. Of course he's going to wank Japan. Realistically, the Coast Guard could shit on the JDSF, let alone Special Forces.
>>149546632
>United States help contribute to the fall of the German Empire by pressuring them to an assault as the Germans were planning on going on the defensive
Not really. They had to use French equipment and were mostly a detriment to the French.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Expeditionary_Forces
>The AEF used French and British equipment. Particularly appreciated were the French canon de 75 modèle 1897, the canon de 155 C modèle 1917 Schneider and the canon de 155mm GPF. American aviation units received the SPAD XIII and Nieuport 28 fighters and the US tank corps used the French Renault FT light tanks. Pershing established facilities in France to train new arrivals with their new weapons.[3]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_in_World_War_I
>However, many American commanders used the same flawed tactics which the British, French, Germans and others had abandoned early in the war, and so many American offensives were not particularly effective. Pershing continued to commit troops to these full- frontal attacks, resulting in high casualties against experienced veteran German and Austrian-Hungarian units.
They were just extra, expendable troops that didn't even bring their own equipment. They were far from the saviors of Europe.
> sending more troops to the Austrians to beat back the Italians
The Italians were part of the Entente, you dingus.
And let's not forget that for most of the war, the Americans were more than willing to trade with Germany.
>>149541467
Only Sense Online is a bretty comfy series. She(he)'s not exactly trapped in the MMO but the shenaningans figuring out game mechanic is fun to see.
>>149546749
>The Italians were part of the Entente, you dingus.
You're the dingus. I was talking about the Germans sending more troops to the Austrians to help them beat back the Italians like they did before with Rommel and such.
US wasn't saviors of Europe, but it was helping factor in speeding up the war's end. To be honest I blame Pershing for being incapable of getting over his pride and old war tactics. He himself disagreed with Entente generals and commanders when they talked to him about how he should be fighting.

What >>149546749 said and:
>United States practically solo'd the Japanese Empire, Liberated France (W/ British Assistance), Took Italy, and was a main fighting force in the Western Front.
Japan yes, the rest? Holy shit you're stupid, read a book burger.
>wrecked NK
Yeah congratulations, the US backed by the rest of the west beat NK. Then got beat back by China, another at the time very weak country, and had to back off when the USSR even hinted at aiding.
>Vietnam
You signed a treaty you knew was going to lead to the annexation of SViet soon after. You signed the treaty for appearances only, but everyone knows you were running with your tail between your legs. If you hadn't, you would have said something about NViet breaking the treaty, but the US didn't do shit.
>Iraq and Afghanistan
Yeah you raped a weak nation with equipment decades behind yours and 1/10000 of the military budget, but still didn't manage to get control of the region. This is the common recurring theme by the way, you fight against very weak and backwards nations and act like you are strong, but as soon as someone strong does oppose you, it's full reverse gear and white flag in the wind.
Face it, American military history is absolutely pathetic. You spend many times more than anyone else and still can't do shit, when great militarise throughout history fought against the odds and won better than you.
>>149546839
>US wasn't saviors of Europe, but it was helping factor in speeding up the war's end.
About as much as the French Resistance was to speeding up the end of WW2. It was better than nothing and in fact helped a lot, but it wasn't exactly a gamechanger.

>>149546870
>Read a book burger
So I guess all the books I've read about the United States fighting in the Western Front of WWII is a lie. United States never did the Invasion of Sicily, Never did it capture Rome, never did the United States liberate France in one large campaign.
>Korean War
>China at the time was a very weak country
>Had to back off when the USSR hinted at aiding.
You're retarded. North Korea was fucking financed and trained by the USSR and its troops you dumb fuck. USSR been assisting it since the beginning, and China was far from a weak country in the 50's.
>Vietnam
United States did its main job. Once, South Vietnam was an independent state it was its own duty to defend itself.
>Raped a weak nation
>decades
Iraq and Afghanistan was far from weak. The technology they had was in the 80's this was back in the 90's. The gap was only a decade.
>1/1000 of the military budget
You know majority of the military budget is spent on R&D, Adv, and etc. Not too mention Iraq and Afghanistan for a nation its size had a decent military budget.

It'd be cool if Kiroto was still the main character, but his partner was Klein rather than Asuna. They could make a nice comedic duo, with Kirito acting as the straight man. But then again, friends have no place in a waifu fantasy dream.

Tutorial Island was the fun shit. Like best tutorial.
No concrete story, but some points I want to see:
>MC gets trapped on his alternate crafting/farming/mule character, so terrible combat power but decent support/crafting skills and is pretty much a walking warehouse for all the useless loot his main accumulated.
>World building and game economy is an important part of the plot rather than part of the fluff
>First arc BBEG isMC's main character, and his younger brother/sister/cousin was playing it without permission when they get isekai'dJoins the main party at the end of their arc.
