You can shit on SAO all you want to feel cool, but you can't

>>151507129

Even if you're correct(you aren't), any strong characterization got thrown out the window when they made Asuna a weak little bitch who had to be rescued. And then made EVERY OTHER FEMALE CHARACTER WANT HIS DICK INCLUDING HIS COUSIN TWICE.

AIDS-chan was uninterested in his dick, and asuka kicked ass during that part of the show

>>151507309

That's four fucking arcs into it. What about all the other parts where she's a useless bitch?

Oh and let's not forget the only reason she's not useless is because Kirito wasn't a main character in that arc.

Honestly, if you wanted to say the SAO Progressive relationship was realistic, I'd be able to buy that. But the anime? No. She just lands on his dick first. And hell, if you go by the light novels it's even worse.

And Sachi dies in like single episode

He called her Asuka, I'm pretty sure he was baiting.

This is what 13 (and 25) year old virgins think how relationships work.

>>151507129
Did you get some magical amnesia and reimagine SAO to be something you want it to be? Because that certainly is not the romance between Kirito and Asuna.

I mean, sure, in the second season/later books the author tried to add to the characters a little bit since the series is now popular and he needs it to be less shitty, but it doesn't really drag it out of the shithole.

Nah it was pretty fucking bad and Asuna degrading to the point of damsel in distress is really upsetting.

>You can shit on SAO all you want

Thanks. That's all I need to know.

First, Asuna started as a badass but became a damsel in distress so fucking fast.

Next why would they marry so fast? A real relationship takes time to mature. Them marrying so fast reeks of a short marriage and quick divorce.

Their relationship is perfect to fucking teenagers who think their high school girlfriend is the one they're gonna marry. Literally the most shallow relationship I've seen

>It is not riddled with the dreadful cliches that plague most romances

>Asuna: "KIRITO, IF YOU DIE I WILL COMMIT SUICIDE!"
>Kirito: "KAYABA, IF I DIE, MAKE IT SO THAT ASUNA CAN'T COMMIT SUICIDE!"
>Asuna: "NO! I SHALL BREAK FREE OF IN-GAME PARALYSIS AND GIVE UP MY LIFE TO SAVE YOU, WITH THE POWER OF LOVE!"

It really disturbs me to find so many fans accepting this kind of crap as "good romance" or even "the part that made the first half of SAO good".

>>151507750
Also, the fact that they needed a loli program for a daughter to make their romance more obvious is truly pathetic writing.

>greatness of the romance between Kirito and Asuna

Mah nigga

>reeks of a short marriage

Well they did get married both full well knowing they were both either dying from organ failure in a year from wasting away (yes that was a reason given) or die fighting the floor bosses as they were both leading member of the clearing group which was having more and more casualties every floor.

Credit where credit's due Reki didn't have them leave SAO and immediately find a chapel that would let them elope as teens after being persuaded by some "love and determination" crap or pull some "if players got married they got married for real!" bullshit either. They just tried dating while going back to school and it magically worked out because shitty plot convenience, but it could have been worse.

This is a stealth marketing clickbait for the upcoming movie meant to keep the brand within the publics mind during the lead up. Please be aware of this as you reply to this thread and try to sage

Instead, it is riddled with the dreadful cliches that plague most fanfictions written by 12 year olds

OP come the fuck on there's more but seriously the romance is the only barely passable part of a complete dumpster fire, and even then it goes to shit after the arc in the cabin
