Sword Art Online

No worries, Yui isn't an one (two) episode thing

That

is a large part of why I hate Yui. You need something done or some hacking done or want to find something not normally available to players? YUI TO THE RESCUE!

In ALO, there are Navigation Pixies, supposedly, although we never see a player with one, but Yuki's worlds more powerful than a Navigation Pixie.

The way Yui left was kinda sad =/

But apparently she's coming back as a constant plot device/cheat code so...<.<

[Darjaille]

Kirito himself is a cheat code then.

Yui is a sweetie.

Just started this anime, oh my four episodes in and it already touched my heart and stabbed it with feels. hopefully ill manage to pick pace till sunday.

Oh, then if your heart has already been stabbed with feels, you'll pray there weren't any feels in you by the time you're caught up

[naruto-niichan]

I just know Yui will come back and save the day, somehow that's why I didn't really feel sad about it, she's more or less bound to come back. Hopefully she won't be used as a cheap plot device =/

Another SAO fanatic?

Another SAO fanatic?

Love story, dude.

[naruto-niichan]

Love story, dude.

I don't want to repeat myself but I just feel like this show is so overrated. Good show without a doubt but I don't get how such a lot of people seem to fangasm over it. It has it's epic moment but it's not so steady that I would call the whole show epic. I could name at least 3 episodes that were average and nothing more, despite it's great animation.

but that's just me~

Don't you understand ?

Successful love story, dude !

That's the explanation.

Besides I'm not the one you should try to convince.

fans went all over with even before the whole Kirito x Asuna deal. That's one of it's best parts for me too.

and I'm not trying to convince anyone, just stating my opinion~ a fan who really loves the show won't change his opinion no matter what I or someone else says, nor can anyone say something that will make me totally love the show.

I'll cop to the fact that I'm probably overrating it but that's at least partly because of the contrast between it all the other new anime I've watched recently.

It seems Sword Art Online is up here and everything else is..

Waaaaaay down here.

If there was a Code Geass or a Bakemonogatari airing I would probably be more enthused about those but, as far as I can tell, there isn't.

Right now my typical weekly anime watching consists of a horrendous episode Eureka Seven:AO followed by a thoroughly enjoyable episode of SAO. So, to me, Sword Art Online is like an above average looking nice girl sitting next to the ugliest meanest girl in history of the universe (who doesn't bath regularly).

The boy was successful with every girl he met in each episode, like a charming prince....then Asuna...
This and the background setup.

Well yes, that is true. SAO definitely is the shining prince of this season, which was a huge disappointment as a whole. Probably the worst season I've witnessed up to date.

If you need a nice rec, don't be shy and ask me Jam

Kirito being a strong bishounen definitely helps, especially with the girls. Reducing SAO to that would be a fault though.

[Gats]

Oh I'm not reducing SAO's hype to that. Like you said it's really beautiful, you add that with the reasons I mentioned, it's enough to have quite a lot of fangasm, deserved or not.

[Darjaille]

The awesome setting and characters I've liked since second one are probably the reason. Plus Kirito being a non-whiny, rather-action-than-words, not overthinking strong character, Asuna being someone that seems like a tsundere (I like tsunderes and even more so with something that makes them more special) but when I think about it she's not really, she's pretty real to me. She's strong, but she has no tsunderish problems with admitting that she's in love, she has no problem showing her emotions. Overall cast was great minus Sachi and Cats for me, I just didn't like them. Romance is beautiful and even more so when it's a shounen!that actually features romance as its main point.

I've never said that every episode was epic, but I don't need every episode to be epic. I found more episodes to be epic than in some other animes that are said to be gems though I rate overall enjoyment, and that I found here more than in 97% of anime I've watched.
