Do you think SAO has a great plot but it is wasted

SAO as a concept is really cool , but after watching the latest season with all its no sense and random shit it really marked itself as one of the poorest anime I've ever seen , people can still enjoy the fantasy element but i would laugh so hard if someone tells me the show is considered good. And no, Don't tell me to read the novel I'm still recovering from the braincells loss caused by this show.

im not gonna tell you to go read the novel imma tell you to go get some glasses cause if you can’t see that sao is good and I mean all series aincrad-Alicization then fine you do you but don’t talk about brain cells when clearly you were never using yours to begin with considering you stuck around long enough to write this shit anyone with brain cells would’ve quit while they were ahead yet you needed to watch to confirm your already made up mind Gtfo I have a feeling this app is gonna have more idiots than you to deal with and I can’t I’m ready to deal with that but statistically someone has to also there is worse anime out there so calling sao the worst makes me think you should go watch more anime before typing on MAL then again if you’re just gonna shit on anime when you clearly can’t do better I’d say find something else to watch m8 cause you won’t do yourself any favors watching anime at the rate your going

what's the point of writing all of that? You didn't give me a single argument , just your subjective option about a show you like ( i totally respect that ) if you really want to discuss SAO give me arguments instead of just saying " i like sao so sao is good " lmao

RequiemLo64 said:
and then what have you just say “ each of our experiences watching is completely subjective “ or “well that your opinion and this mine” or something else song those lines no thanks besides there was nothing wrong with this season in particular everything fell into place and was paced well the fights were well animated there were a bunch of twists and outcomes that I expected and didn’t expect and Kirito finally waking up was the highlight of the season why you don’t like it sounds like a bunch of U problems so if you want to discuss then by all means we can but at least mention something significant

actually i checked your list and wow you are giving 214 shows a 10/10 , shows like fairy tail and SAO can't be called masterpieces so you either don't know how a masterpiece anime looks like or you just have a "questionable" taste in anime. Have a good day

I just completed the latest season of SAO and can't help but wonder how good this show could have been. Currently the show is kind of a joke, dead people coming back to life physically to help the good guys, the fights are so empty and have no meaning what so ever, the heroes are put into a spot where they are about to die and are being overpowered by the villains but then suddenly the next moment they start overpowering the villains without any explanation(this happens so many times I lost count), the villains get overpowered abilities out of no where(which doesn't matter anyway because kirito and Asuna get help for literally dead charecters).

It is just very hard to watch all this non sense. The plot actually is really good, how everything connects back to Akihiko Kayaba the creator of SAO and the mystery behind why he decided to do what he did.

I can't help but feel sad for such wasted potential. Dose anyone else think that SAO could have been great or is it just me?

SAO could have easily been better, the final season showed us this. Sure, progressive does a good job at patching some of these issues but the fact that it needs to exist in the first place is an issue. That isn’t even including how much of an over the top power fantasy it is to the point where Kirito and everyone else doesn’t even feel human up until the end and that’s only partially and with a couple characters. I feel like this is why a lot of people hate SAO so much, it’s because it is a complete let down on such an amazing premise and plot.

completely agree with that. there are plenty of shows that are worse than SAO but people keep hating on it like it is the worst show out there. even i think it is because at first it seemed to be so good with this amazing idea but everything gose downhill in the coming episodes

The world of UNDERWORLD was not a real world, no matter what you try you can't use those magic in this real world but you can in the underworld so it's not something to get shocked about how Eugeo came into life, it wasn't the real Eugeo at all, it was his injured soul,his will as Kayaba himself said in both s1 and Ordinal scale, there is something more which exceeds the game functions the cardinal and he saw it himself, it's called 'Will Power'

SAO is one of my favourite anime ever... But after ordinla scale, it felt like they were going it too far with ANOTHER season. I think it was enough and didn't need Alicization too...

I really hated the Alicization arc, because even tho they sidelined kirito they still could not do anything without him. I more enjoyed what was happening outside of underworld than what was going on inside in the end. Kirito is just a too op mary sue character.

It hurts because it could of been so much better. Alice's characterization especially in the last half was squandered. Same with Asuna too. She has this really cool attack to finish of PoH, but only for him to slightly endure because the plot wanted KIRITO to finish him off. Not Asuna. Could of been a real cool moment for Asuna but no.
