AxelVIII Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 So what they are saying is that the jump from episode 2-3 is because in the novels they excluded all the middle floors (including the ones in the anime(?) and had them in later novels as filler (like game DLC(?)) and that is the reason that they were not included in the anime (probably along with other reasons like having too much filler and/or dragging the season out) the area from here and a few lines below this used to be about a pharagraph, but i realized that i was just agreeing with Lemmingllama so to make things short and to the point: i agree with Lemmingllama! P.S. please correct me if i am wrong. i never read the novels so i am just going off what i have seen in the anime and read on this thread. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the spoiler you said events happened in a certain order in the novels, then after the P.S. you said you never read the novels. You kinda sound like a troll, Imho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Angel13 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 So basically you don't know shit about the light novels except for what others have said here and then you try to agree with them basically, yeah that makes total sense... I agree with Axel that you're a troll or just trying to boost your post count Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Axel that you're a troll or just trying to boost your post count Just because he hasnt read the novels, it doesnt mean that he has no knowledge of them. I have never read the novels myself, but I have chatted with people who have and I got the gist of it. Anyways, Koby put across the point I was trying to make with much more detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Angel13 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 He said: P.S. please correct me if i am wrong. i never read the novels so i am just going off what i have seen in the anime and read on this thread. So I was correct in what I said thanks, the only knowledge he has of them is from what you said earlier and yes koby did so case closed.

demonwolf19 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 SAO is the anime that saved anime for me. It's a break from all the cotton candy anime out there. True the second half was a bit of a downer when they turned away from kirito and asuna to him and his cousin but that is anime in this day and age.

OtakuSausage Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) This is probably my favorite recent anime. The plot is the same exact thing as Case Closed Movie 6: The Phantom of Baker Street. Edited April 22, 2013 by OtakuSausage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Walker Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 I really liked this anime and can't wait for the the dub, lets hope it keeps it's charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† RazorDan Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I personally loved SAO, sure it wasn't perfect, but I looked forward to it every week and it was refreshing to see an anime like it. It certainly doesn't deserve all the hate it gets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Angel13 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 For me SAO was extremely close to being perfect, just a few little flaws with it, one being that I wanted a lot more of it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmingllama Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I personally loved SAO, sure it wasn't perfect, but I looked forward to it every week and it was refreshing to see an anime like it. It certainly doesn't deserve all the hate it gets Its mainly due to the fact that it could have been much better and it just settled for ok. It had great source material and a fantastic opening, then they went to filler almost immediately and skipped through ALO without even paying attention to most of the details. It was good like an 8/10, but if it stayed like the first episode or two then it would have definitely been a 10/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasoivc Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I thought SAO was interesting, but the ending to the "season" was. Kind of odd. Makes the title of the anime... questionable? I guess that's the easiest way to put it. And like Koby mentioned, episodes 2-7 were filler when you sit there and think about it, but my statement still holds true. SAO Just seems like an inappropriate title for the anime as a result of what happens in the future novels and during the second half of the season. Future seasons are inevitable in my honest opinion since it has gained such popularity for changing up the stereotypical school-type animes back to a MMO-style anime reminiscent of .//Hack but when they make those into anime, the title will still be bothering me. In the end, they do make a nod back towards SAO, but I feel they could've developed something better to use. In terms of story/plot, I thought it was good. It was fresh and kind of exciting to follow, obvious cliches and whatnot but it wasn't awful. Having not read the novels, I feel they could've done more to flesh out the relationships between all of the characters that are really "main" characters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowtheman Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I thought that SAO was a breath of fresh. After so many over moe anime, or anime that just caitored to the otaku "b"s out there. It was great to see an anime with such thought put into it. It is true, that it could have gone farther at times but I think it hit the mark were it counts. From what I descovered; I don't know about any haters on the west side but I do know the anime was hated on some in Japan for its lack of "mature" content. Also the nerd ragers who whined becasue it was belived the noval would have more in common with the mmo the writer said inspired the work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Angel13 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 It is an awesome anime and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The characters were lacking slightly maybe but still loved every moment of the anime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha. I enjoyed it myself but I wouldn't go out of the way to say it was amazing. Like Hawkester mentioned in a few of his post in the earlier pages. The anime is only the way it is because they adapted two whole arcs into a short and brief 20 some episodes. I forget if Hawkester mentioned it or not, or if I read it somewhere else but they were considering writing in the gaps in between the episodes to fill up to the final floor that they arrive in SAO's arc. Eeeeeh. "Filler" you might ask? Yes, but there's your possible character development; if given any more than what little we have at it is now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhm I'm aware that it was meant to have two more arcs like the manga which honestly I wish it did have them both, I may need to go and read the manga unless they intend on making spinoffs or something to cover the other two arcs.
