>4th arc is amazing
>movie is the best animated film of all time

Watch them all.

>>154919219
Dropped it after 5 episodes.

The first cour tanges from good to okay

The second one is a massive irredeemable shitfest

>>154919219
the whole thing is trash in general
i read the whole ln too

There are a few redeeming arcs and pieces (SAO progressive, Mothers Rosario, the first half of Alicization where Kirito manages not to be a shitty self insert NEET bait edgelord)
for the majority though it just sucks
ass

SAO is a good show. People hate on it as a form of virtue signaling, showing they're "enlightened" and don't like "pleb" shows.

I enjoyed SAO until like episode 10 I think it was, when they got married or whatever although I still finished it, I don't think I could have if I wasn't watching it weekly, still don't know why I carried on in all honesty, could be because I watched it with /a/. However I did end up trying the novels to see what they were like and I enjoyed them a lot more than the anime.

People constantly call out this scene as bullshit, but anyone who has every played an MMO, or even most RPGs will know this is realistic. Try fighting a level 80 as a level 15 in Runescape and see what happens.

Wait for the inevitable progressive anime to come out.

The best isn't the first part but the last :/

I enjoyed the show. Could complain about some aspects, but I went out of it with overall enjoyment. Still need to see the movie.

it's a cesspool of mediocrity

Just got back from watching the movie.

That last boss fight, Goddamn.

>>154921333
This, Progressive is all the good parts of SAO with none of the bad. It even made Kibaou likable

>>154924205
it gave us more of Argo, which is the best thing from SAO (i was always mad they never bring his characters again in the series)

>>154925037
he's an ultra minor character in alicization

when will i get to watch the ordinal scale

>>154919470
>>154919425
There is no virtue signaling here,
SAO offers nothing I couldn't get by playing a RPG that allows me to fuck waifus.

>>154925154
>SAO offers nothing I couldn't get by playing a RPG that allows me to fuck waifus.
Not him but you can say that about a lot of shows

Progressive is the only good thing that came out from SAO

>>154925362
What about SAO Abridged?

>>154925394
>Abridged
Get that Reddit shit out of here

Aincard is good
ALO GGO Excalibur is filler trash
mothers rosario is good
Alicization will save the series

sue me

GGO literally has the best villian. Just look at this fucking edgelord.

>Vol 17
>all this gore and suffering
I can't wait to see how much the fuck up anime. That would be whole new level of shitting all over source material.

>>154925553
>Leafa
>not Sugu

>>154925592
Deaaaaaath comes

>>154919219
wish there was more survival type animes

>>154919219
i honestly think it should have ended at the scene in the hospital when he gets out of sao, calling out for asuna

>>154919219
watch it for the animation and the soundtrack
>1st arc is ok ( even the romance episodes were kinda comfy
>2nd acr's fanservice was great story was shit tho
>3rd arc was shit but sinon was CUTE !
>episodes 14, 15 , 16 from S2 were pure trash just skip them
>4th arc was meh yuuki was CUTE THO but not as cute as sinon

>>154925474
Alicalization
+Eugeo part is good
-Alice part is shit!

we do not need more harem. More Assuna is fine

>>154921333
Kiseki's character expressions is what makes this manga great.

>>154931936
>and the soundtrack

Only a few tracks are good. It's Kajiura's worst since Elemental Gelade.

>>154919219
more like first 3 episodes

>>154919219
Get out while you still can.

I never understood people using this scene to call Kirito OP. He was basically among the high-level players, strolling through a low-level area.

>>154925653
It is a wonder how they'll handle gory scenes, seeing as before now the bloodiest it ever got was a scratch on Kirito's cheek. Meanwhile, Alicization renders everything realistically, with blood and organs and shit.
Can't forget about this semen demon, too.

Not even, the first few episodes are not GREAT theyre just decent, seriously just dont fucking watch it. Its the worst generic Isekai borefest ive ever seen, literally a power fantasy for NEETS except its not even an interesting power fantasy. 4/10 at best.
