Sword Art Online

[MFauli]

Episode 20:

This anime is so cringe. Imagine World of Warcraft players crying because their party members 'died' - that's SAO, just with fancier graphics.

Also wow: EVERY GIRL WANTS HIS D! It's so dumb ...

Final victory was bad, too. For the entire arc, Gabriel was calm and level-headed. The moment he meets Kirito, he turns into an arrogant, delusional monster. Sigh

You know what I want now? A video game where you play a villain and you have to fight several 'good guys/heroes', and to do that you have to overcome their 'deus ex machina'-meter. Is there something like that?

Ffs ... Anyone enjoyimg this writing should never give recommendations to anyone elde.

episode 21:

you've got to be braindead to actually find this story "good".

Is there even an episode without at least one fuck stupid deus ex machina-moment? What's hilarious about that is that it is THE VILLAINS that come up with smart plans (see the villain tech guy who anticipated what the "heroes" really were after), but the "heroes" keep winning ... not by outwitting the villains as it's done in literally every other story (because that makes sense. The villains don't need to think, they're powerful. The heroes must find out how to overcome the big bad), but by making bullshit moments happen. Utter bullshit moments!

So this week, a robot that shut down because it was visibly too broken to continue working ... started working again because of EMOTIONS. What the fuck?! Did they build Evangelions there? Is there a human body inside the robot, lol?! The best part: So it looks like the fully-broken robot got possessed by the "dead" villain leader, except now they have an excuse built-in as to why he will lose again: because the robot is too broken, lol. This time fOr ReAlZ!!1

Also nice: It's only men that keep dying. In combination with the frequent blueballing almost rape-scenes that keep painting men as nothing but criminals and swines, the author must have had a real ego trip while writing this shit, because it's clear he considers him (who he put as Kirito) the only "proper" men that all women naturally flock to, while other men are either joke characters or, again, rapists. Considering that this author doesn't come off as a very feministic person, he's a real piece of work.

I'll celebrate the day this shit franchise is over. Can we pls return to the times when Death Note, Claymore and Monster were popular?

Episode 22

---------------------










Assuming you don't become demented, a 200 year old could have some serious knowledge and insight into people.

[MFauli]

Or imagine sending in a bunch of scientists from the real world and having them return with the scientific progress of 200 years ...

I have only one thing to say about this episode: If you enjoyed this, you're literally r*tareded.

Oh, and they found a way to give each girl her own Kirito without it being cheating on Asuna. sigh ....

Whut .

[Buffalobiian]

Whut .

Pretty sure he's saying that they can now clone Kirito for each girl.

[MFauli]

Pretty sure he's saying that they can now clone Kirito for each girl.

Yes. Ofc they wont do it (I ASSUME LOL), but they *did* come up with a way to theoretically satisfy all girls -_-

Editt:

Btw can we talk about how creating AIs isn't really the most impressive part? They managed to build a perfect robot that's indiscernable from real people!

Episode 23

--------------------------






Haha, wtf? Now fighting space monsters, but still using swords.

Kirito: Please delete these fucking memories please.

So... I was wondering, should the new movies about the best part of the anime and franchise be discussed here or in another thread? Perhaps there is one and I missed it.... but I searched for Sword Art in titles only

Either way, I watched the first one - SAO Progressive.
It's really good, it's what made people watch the, what I consider shite, that came after the first "game" anyway imho. (not that there was anything wrong with the games themselves, more like everything was wrong with how the characters were handled - after all, I really liked how Death Gun was setting the mood for example)

Animation was great and movement felt like it had weight behind it. Asuna in a cloak looked awesome but it's no secret that she is quite the handsome gal in the series. Well, lots of good stuff.... I just don't understand how many movies there are going to be?
If I'm not mistaken the premise is that these movies go from floor to floor all the way up.
This whole movie was Floor 1. I'd love to have a movie for every floor I guess ?

The movies are from Asuna's perspective? But... did she join Kirito after floor 1? I actually thought he disappeared in the original and Asuna went with the other guys right after the boss kill.

Scherzo of Deep Night debuted in the US today. Just saw it in theater, and WOW. What an unbelievably shitty movie. It's on the same level as the most boring Naruto filler. Even the 400lb greasy SAO superfan anime nerd sitting in front of me, who also happened to give me a face full of his sweaty pimpled asscrack, fell asleep 20 minutes into this piece of shit. I will kill myself before I sit through this movie again.
