It's good timing at least! There are two new SAO series starting this year (one that will probably be good and one that will probably suck), so if this comes out at the right time it could be big win for them, whether it's awful or not (Bright and the DN movie were a huge success for Netflix).

I should really watch SAO someday, even if only to gain the necessary perspective to judge the countless other anime that were clearly inspired by it.

It's from the writer of the Kino's Journey novels, without a Kirito in sight!

Getting through SAO proper is almost worth it to get to Mother's Rosario.

This new Alicization arc, though.....we'll seeeeee.

I've been told it's the worst yet!

Same. There were like 3 or 4 good episodes in that first arc, and that's it until the last one.

It definitely can be worse than the anime.

Not because I like the anime, but because as bad as the anime is, it can always be worse.

For example, it could be Attack on Titan.

I read like half the Alicization arc a while back.

It was my favorite arc but its pretty different from everything else and I could see a lot of people not liking it.

I was told Asuna once again gets backseated so assuming that's true it has no hope.

Overall I honestly consider SAO a good show. There's a lot of things that are easy to criticize and some parts are pretty bad, but I think the things it does well it does well enough to make up for it.

SAO had an incredible premise, though it's hardly unique, it's still a great starting point for a show.

And with a very good art style it seemed like they were poised to do it right. Everything through the first 2 episodes seems pretty good to me.

And then suddenly the pacing goes straight to hell. They start skipping months at a time, glazing past what should be major events in their progression of the game, and not having any internal consistency as far as how many people are still alive, how much progress they are making, how quickly they are making it, and just what the hell everyone is doing with their time.

And then everything gets entangled with creepy soap opera garbage. And i'm still talking about the first half of the first season, that's before everything gets all rape-y and incest-y in the 2nd half. The guy perving out over and obsessing over asuna? And don't get me started on Yui, who is generally an awful addition. Kirito is 14 at the beginning, and now he has some annoying waif calling him "papa" after knowing him for 10 minutes? I cringe every time.

It has a couple of incredible moments, and some great visuals, but it is *NOT* enough to make up for a squandered everything else.

When it became super corny with Kirito and Asuna getting married and then trying to keep a kid just really got to me and their relationship was just super lame after that

i had problems with the original by like, episode 3? or maybe even 2. but then i treated it as a parody and it ended up being one of the funniest anime i've ever seen. i still can't tell if it was intended as a comedy or not, and whether to call it amazing or terrible.

Unfortunately, with the recent trend of anime, it's hard to think of it as a parody in my case. Glad you found some enjoyment out of it though.

I unironically believe that the Kirito/Asuna relationship is a pretty good romance! Also there are some pretty tense action sequences that are fun to watch especially in the latter half of the first arc.

Also GGO and Mother's Rosario are both great plot arcs and are generally an improvement on the first season. (Well, aside from the stuff at the very end of GGO because uh yeah.)
