Sword Art Online (light novel)
| Alicization and nothing even comes close. All the other previous arcs were mostly boring fest for me. |
| Remember what Master Oogway told us: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present. |
| Alicization > Aincrad ≥ Mother's Rosario > Phantom Bullet > Ordinal Scale > Caliber > Gun Gale Online > Fairy Dance. |

| I don’t remember the name of it, but my favorite arc is the one where Kirito was running around in Gun Gale Online online deflecting bullets. Just because of Asada, since I liked her the most out of all the female characters in the show (and, not sure where did I get this wild idea in the first place, but her surname sort of sounds similar to the name of the Syrian dictator, which, at least I, find somewhat hilarious). Not a solid reason at all, but whatever — that’s my personal preference. Objectively, the Alicization arc is the best plot-wise (‘cause they give unimportant characters much less screen time, and, sorry, but Asuna doesn’t add up much to the story, so…) and, IMHO, has the best openings and endings. |

| Alicization by far, and it's not even close. That one just slaps all the others in the face. |

| Alicization is ahead of the other arcs by literal miles, that is not fair game. RudeRedis said: I don’t remember the name of it, but my favorite arc is the one where Kirito was running around in Gun Gale Online online deflecting bullets. That's the Phantom Bullet Arc. |

LimeMakotoBell said: What's your favourite arc from SAO?
Mine is the Alicization arc, but what about you? I like all of the arcs. I like Specials/Ovas (not sure), other side episodes, movies, and also spin-off anime. I’m going to also watch the second season of GGO. I know I’ll be hated, but I don’t care 😂 |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |

| Please watch Sword Art Online Progressive, it's the peak of SAO. |
| Mostly 1, 2 and 3 but especially 2nd. It's where he finally... gets the princess. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Mother's Rosario for me. It is incredibly sad but also very beautiful, and I like that Asuna is the main character in this one. |
| Phantom Bullet, the only arc I distinctly liked. |
| Alicization. idc how much hate it gets also, unpopular opinion, I liked phantom bullet arc more than aincrad. |
