I will say that my favorite arc was one (in Season 2) in which Kirito (the main character) is basically sidelined to a background character for its duration. Which is... probably not a good sign for a show when it improves dramatically when you bench your MC. However, it looks like this current season may be doing it again so... relative to SAO I might start having expectations again. Alice might be my 2nd or 3rd favorite character behind Yuuki and Sinon (both Season 2 characters, the former being the deuteroagonist in the arc with Kirito sidelined) at this point so we'll see. But yes, SAO at its worst is just... so bad veering into disgusting. If you got through Season 1 you got a front row seat to that level of awfulness near the end. Unfortunately it isn't an isolated incident. I will say I give some credit to the author for actually apologizing to the VAs for having to act out a scene in Season 3 and seemed to explain some of the decisions behind that scene even being a thing as a result of him being young at the time he wrote the original story and emulating tropes he had read growing up. But yeah. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:933193685] in SaveEstell...
