Sword Art Online (light novel)
| He's not as bad as some people make him out to be, but also nothing special. |
| No. I don't think he's the best character that the series has to offer |

Miss_Esdeath said: Absolutely! Is he the most original anime character ever? No, but he's also not totally generic either (and I don't see anything wrong with generic anyway.) He's strong, kind, thoughtful, etc..but he's also human and realistic because he's weak sometimes, he gets caught in situations that he can't handle (or at least can't handle alone,) he loses things like everyone else..he's just well rounded in my opinion. Gonna say this before fanboys roll in, because they think it is somehow redeeming quality: Kirito was one of the first of those bland and boring Mary Sue LN protagonists, so he kinda was "original" back in the day. So yea, he set the bar quite low. |

| literally, 36714 favorites vote of kirito are 12yo kids mid-average generic harem MC, no dept, no personality, no hardwork. He even used "power of love" to win over a swordfight |

| Nope. I pretty much agree with everything OP said. Kirito is boring, overpowered and surrounded by plot armor all the time. SAO capitalizes on the lonely loser incels that are typically into both anime and video games and give them this bland, generic character that gets all the girls in-game (despite being a loser irl). It's basically the typical neckbeard's/incel's fantasy in animated form. |

I heard good stuff about Re:Zero though from multiple people both here on MAL but also irl, so I might give that a try at some point. |

I also wanna finally fully understand the whole Emilia vs Rem feud that wrecked the internet at some point lol |

| No, this guy's nothing but a joke.. (He really did became a joke when Alicization aired) |
| no, i don't think kirito is a good character |
| ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
| He's a horrible character. An extremely bland and generic protagonist. He's a fake Black Swordsman. This is a real Black Swordsman right there. |
 |
| Everyone is shitting on Kirito as expected. Progressive movies upcoming, which is supposed to give much depth to his character and explain why he is so perfect, so it will be his LAST CHANCE. |
|
| He's a Boring character imo |

| No, he's bad, why would he even lie and play as the evil beater, he don't think what the others, who have friends or family died in the sao game, would feel after saying those died bcoz they didn't used their beta knowledge, ep. 2. What a cheater, Kirito uses his beta knowledge so he can play advance than the other normal players. If I am on that game I will set up a hunt and kill him. He even get the best girl of the game and married her. If only he isn't a beta tester, Asuna won't pay attention to him if his just a lowly level player. Sucks to him, he got the taste of reality, arrange marriage exist, Asuna is fated to marry a businessman Sugou. But damn to fight him in a world which is where his best, Sugou you fooly idiot, you should have take advantage of your real world capabilities (as a game admin, kick him in the game) instead of dealing with him in the game, a really idiot. What did sugou do, play as a god player in the game when he's incapable player. It's really a good time seeing Kirito in trauma in GGO, the guys you killed are hunting you! If only Death Gun actually just killed him in real world rather than playing against Kirito in his best when in game. Just like Sugou they fight Kirito in game rather than taking advantage of their real world capabilities. Suck to him his best friend got killed. Despair to you fvckin cheater. |
