Sword Art Online (light novel)
Do you like SAO abridged?
| I like it, but overall the og feels way more fleshed out. The abridged series humor mostly depends on you already seeing the og to understand the humor. |
 |
| SAO Abridged is what the original series was supposed to be. And not for the jokes, but despite them. |

You already have a basic plot and characters, you just need to tweak as you please to make it more funny and popular and— ta da—you now have a fanfiction which is ‘better’ than the original. Lol. Even if the original has many problems, fanfiction is fanfiction and should never be considered greater than the original. At least that's what I think. I'll take the OG SAO with its annoying flaws any day over the skit that you think is even better than the original. They basically rewrote the characters. I mean sure, the events roughly follow the original, they can only redraw some of it. But they gave compelling character arcs to characters, that the original didn't have. Like come on, the motivation of the first villain is "I don't know" in the original. That's just horrible. |

| SAO Abridged is literally one of the best things ever to exist. Honestly its not on the Level of Dragon Ball Abridged but its still good enough to play on its own. If you didn't like Sao it doesn't matter, SAO Abridged will be there for you. |

I mean sure. But the story still heavily depends on the OG, doesn't it? As for the Kayaba thing, I thought he wanted to see if humans could beat ai and overcome the system by sheer willpower. Cheesy? Yes, but so is the power of friendship in every anime or the opness of MCs. You have to suspend your belief if you want to enjoy anime otherwise you won't like a single series. Not even the famous One Piece or Berserk will work for you if you don't put your brain at the door and believe what the writer is shitting. Well duh, of course it depends on the original, it's a parody. And we'll never know if they could do something similarly good without them actually trying, but they are only releasing like an episode of SAO:A every year, that's unlikely... Much of the Abridged series is just silly jokes, a good portion of it poking fun at the source material, but there are also legitimately touching moments, that most professional writers can only dream of rivalling. Derivative or not, that takes talent. And as for your Kayaba interpretation, it's been a while since I watched the original, but I'm pretty sure you made that up. |

CreativeN025 said: True didn't they also like bring back a couple elements from the ln what the anime skipped out? I havent read the ln but I heard it was better than the anime Idk, I didn't even finish season 1 of SAO, the abridged series is ahead of my knowledge already. |

How can something that isn't even approved by the author be canon? No, you liking it more than the original doesn't make it canon in any single way. |
| Just saying, the latest episode with the Suguha confrontation is just so much more well done that its quite honestly shocking. |
| Keep scrolling |
From what I understood, the way sugu feels is better told in the novel and is actually not incestuous. However, I agree abridged is better, story wise and character wise |
Aakash_ said: ReganAlv said: I understand where you are coming from and I’m definitely not claiming that the writers for the abridged series are better than the author of the original because both of them had very different processes and disadvantages. Though I do think there is a point to be made about the final work being better. On another point I do think that a re-write of an original work can be better there are plenty of shows and stories that achieve that so saying that it never happens is kind of dismissive. Oh and I wouldn’t call a series with 17 episodes of 10-20 min amounting to about 5h of content a skit….. I'm not trying to discredit the effort the creators of the abridged series put in making the series, but I just find the comparison ludicrous. While I love both, the og and the abridged series, I can't help but feel it's a useless comparison. Consider the og SAO as a unique art etched on a blank paper. It is new and refreshing and has a good hook, but since it's made by a novice, less experienced artist, it has glaring faults. But in spite of that, it is considerably new and a unique take. Now comes a new guy who has heard what the faults are from literally everyone. So, he decides to remove them and offers his own sardonic take. And the new guy is an instant hit because he knew what everyone wanted. But would he have been successful if he didn't have the og art to work with? Would have been still great if he started with a blank paper instead of an already good albeit flawed work? You JUST can't compare original and derivative work. Because without the derivative story, the original's existence wouldn't be affected while the same can't be true for vice versa. You're confusing two very different questions here. Is it easier to create something based on an existing work ? Of course it is. Is it relevant in determining which one is better ? No, it isn't. You have two end results, and abridged is just a better refined version, which makes it better. Whether one relies on the other to exist isn't relevant in any way |
| Pure cringe. Abridged Kirito's "how dare you make me care about them" monologue is pure, unadulterated pandering to atheists, agnostics and closeted nihilists. The constant casual swearing, the unfuny jokes and the sense of superiority that SWE has for 'parodying' SAO is supreme. They're so full of themselves and their pro-liberal agenda. The novels are a 1/10 the anime also for containing too much sexual assalut. But the Abridged is a -10/10 for being one of the trashiest Abrigeds of all time. I regret giving it audience but some people have to do it in order to rate it low. @SomethingWittyEntertainment is garbage and everything they produce also. |
