Sword Art Online created by A-1 Pictures based on an original Light Novel series written by Reki Kawahara. Series Owned by Aniplex and Kadokawa, and licensed for distribution by Aniplex of America.
I actually forgot that Kirito was first a loner at first, because after 3 episodes he turns into a charismatic man that every single girl falls for.
Yep just your every day shut in gamer who is perfectly socially adjusted
He Was a loner áll along the series. In every possible case he tried to avoid the help of others to the limit
@@matyaspiller3942 yes but the fact that in a social scenario he wasn't awkward he knew what to do. Which doesn't make much sense for a shut in gamer because we don't like interacting with people. Usually because we're bad at it
@@mightbeahumanmaybe247 You are right. Maybe he got some confidence and practice in the game. Or they áll did since they are áll supposed to be gamers somehow
@@matyaspiller3942 maybe? I mean it could have been an act to show other people that he is confident and it could have been a character arc where he gains more confidence but the show never does that.
"You can tell he's a loner and uses swords."
That's it. That's the whole character. Wrap it up everyone, you can all go home now.
🚶♂️🚶♂️🚶♂️🚶♂️🚶♂️
He’s also Jesus-kun.
Abishek Raju no hes always the same person no development
Abishek Raju you can tell hes a depressed character because in the op it shows jesus kun looking at the floor depressed with rain pouring in his head
Abishek Raju start of the show or not, it still tells us the main characters personality and was a very stupid way of doing it atleast it was slightly better then ignite
OK RUclips YOU CAN STOP RECOMMENDING ME THIS
+XxsupersonicxX I mean, I may be coming at this from a slightly biased perspective, but I wouldn't mind if this popped up in everyone's recommendations once a week forever.
+Mother's Basement It popped up on my recommended and I'm glad :D I agree with this a lot. Earned a sub ^-^
+XxsupersonicxX Viewing the video definitely doesn't help lmao. This video is an eye opener
+Mother's Basement I kept seeing this come up thinking it was going to be another rant with no facts behind it, but you broke it down piece by piece. Needless to say i loved the way you made the video and can't wait for more :)
+XxsupersonicxX HOLY CRAP THIS
I FINALLY WATCHED YOU NOW GET OUT OF MY RECOMMENDATIONS
This op is actually quite brilliant, it makes the characters look bland and they are
Damn no need to murder kirito
Kirito is my baby boi dammit lmao stop hating on my semi emo Mary sue
@@chavocadohutchins3364 you must have 950,546 other baby boys then because every other iseki protagonist looks the exact same.
I don't know any of them but I do have many husbandos and baby boys from other animes owo
Yes I agree
"The OP manages to make it seem like she has a crush on BadGuy McRapeSuit." That almost killed me
Why do I feel like if that actually was the case, it would’ve been a lot funner, or at least funnier, to watch XD like a soap opera falling apart each episode lol.
Just imagine:
Jesus: why do you like that dude! I hate him!
Sis: HE’S JUST MISUNDERSTOOD! STOP MAKING IT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU. Man, staying in sao for 2 years has turned you over emotional!
Jesus: HE’S TRYING TO STEAL AND RAPE MY ONLINE WIFE
Sis: emphasis on the online
Jesus: WHAT THE FUCK
I thought.
He said mcgrapesuit
Imma use it somewhere. I don't know where, but Imma use bad guy mc rape suit.
this video makes no sense ecause is came out in 2016 but konosuba came out in 2019 so.....
@@mateocastillo9730 I guess your ears are too pure
sao had so much potential but they turned it into a generic harem ecchi anime -,- guy becomes op and gets all the biches
Boku no Pico was a better anime😏😏
Wow that's how you look at SAO? Lol you are a dumb kid then minecraft
Boy........you only see that kirito is op and surrounded by girls? Not seeing how wonderful the story goes? Sad,badass,happy,heart touching you don't see that instead seeing that kirito is op and he gets all the bitches (girls) well nothing to expect from a minecraft boy who is dumb AF lol XD
Kirito isnt op man , literally everyone with more than 16 years can kill him cause its a fucking game , this anime doesnt have much sense , its like it was done by 3 year-old kids.

+Jake Robert how can 3 year old kids write such an amazing story though? I always wondering about that 🤔
I can tell you the personality of the girls in the first opening, it’s pretty easy you just need to look very carefully and it’s
The loli
The pointless one
And the dead one
See pretty easy if you ask me
LMAO, sadly this is true
being dead, thats a pretty good personality trope if you ask me. we should get more characters like that.

Animal lover

they all need dead trait
You forgot the pointless loli after the dead one...
The energy of the commentary is so passive agressive.

He IS Canadian. The politeness we're so famous for is actually misunderstood passive aggressive.
@@Scarleto Underrated reply to a comment lol
Yeah that's the point.
To me some of his commentary sounds like he's just like "WTF is happening"
"Asuna quietly giving up on being a good character ever again" makes me giggle every time.
masterplusmargarita same tho
Mother's rosario was pointless.
Asuna was amazing in aincrad and she was always strong,idk why she needed that yuuki to become stronger
@@user-ey8mj4tv2pI think it was to have her become stronger as a person which kinda work but then up until the final fight in ordal scale she's feels like boring perfect waifu Asuna
What a shame. She was a good character. What a rotten way to die.
@@integralcialbay4633 asuna didn't die
People say to read the manga but if I have to read the manga to understand the characters the anime FAILED
It's based on a light novel...
@@atlantisjapps-will9485 The point still stands, if any of the adaptations rely on another one to understand anything, it's a failure.
@@fyrentenimar but when the promised neverlands do the same no one complains

Jotaro Kujo There's only one way to solve this. Let's riot.
It is *disgusting* how well the Abridged series re-edited those first two into _honestly really good shit_
The first one is pretty good
Kirito actually underwent character development in Sao Abridged.
@@araaraurydice And the plot of SAOA actually emerges naturally from character traits and conflicts, rather that happening just because
SAO abridged is infinetly better than the origanal
Wait the op or what?
SAO openings are the literal physical embodiment of r/im14andthisisdeep
Lillianna Coleman Wait isn’t it deep? I watched SAO when I was new to anime and rewatched it later when I was more exposed to better ones

@@blackspy8331 you absolute moronic fool, you really just linked a sub outside of reddit that is about shaming people who link subs outside of reddit
It’s sad I feel more connected to the personalities of SAO abridged than the actual story, so much so I can’t remember what the original characters are like.
I feel like it's just cause, compared to sociality in 2012, abridged presents a normal teenager playing video games (and for some reason him being an asshole is relatable for any modern day teen, or at least I can)
Ghosty I especially like how Kayaba is more like a real person. He has a character trait, his references, and his motives are more understandable.

How to make SAO Good
1.Remove All Pedo/raping scenes
2.Give Kirito flaws
3.Remove Kiritos harem
4.Give other characters loving personalities
5. Remove fidget spinners
Edit: i was watching videos while just doing homework.this one came on and i was suprised I commented 1 year ago and now its the top comment.

"This isn't even symbolism...It's a fucking diagram!"
-Not gonna lie that gave me a good chuckle
It's symbolism in sao abridged.
Yea me too
I reason I liked the show at first was because I was still fairly new to anime, so I did not pick up on the common cliches.
Cashbag2012MC yeah, me too, but I still found myself bored with Kirito. I gave up on it after about 10 episodes, because I was bored to death, and decided 'let's try one more before I give up on anime.' Lucky for me, that next one I watched was Fullmetal Alchemist, and my faith in anime was restored!
Cashbag2012MC same. SAI was my first anime
Adin SAO was my 3rd anime, all my friends told me it was good, I found it very boring but watched it all hoping it was going to get really good as they said... it never did.
Heh. It was my first anime too. I thought it was OK, as I was knew to anime. I watched Attack on Titan after that, and I realized how bad SAO was.
Ecchi Harems have guaranteed character bonding
I think the reason SAO was so popular is the depiction of a weeabo's wet dream as in escaping reality and living in an anime game
And being able to pipe more women than were on that that one guy's pedophile island.
What a unique argument that people haven't heard before.
@@egg1899 he didn't kill himself
@@eldenemerald7962 tru
People just like iseksi bruh
The concept of SAO is fucking amazing, sadly its horribly executed...
yep
More like fucking unoriginal
@Kaneki how many animes he è you ever seen? And how bad were they?
Tokyo ghoul has a great Manga, and season 1 is cool, but it's not even close to being the best. And I fell asleep on sao.
Qnyone can enjoy whatever show they want, but how is it possible to consider them the best idk.
Kaneki LMFAO
I mean it's just .hack with better animation in concept.
Shut up KLEIN! Come back when you're a main character!
Hell yeah, he deserves it, unlike kirito
Pretty much all the characters in SAO deserve to be main characters more than Kirito tbh
😂😂😂
Actually i would probably watch a spin off with klein as the main character
@@eggi4443 no kirito is better lol
The first mistake was that JoJo wasn’t at the top of that poll
My days aren't great anymore.
It's not the end of the world, we don't have to chase them for that.
we should stand proud knowing how good the OPs are
Jojo is like human fighting gold
Also raise your flag over Asterisk? How dare they!
"He is a bit of a loner and uses swords. That's it"
Let's be honest, it's hard to put into OP more character development than there was in anime itself.
Agree but kirito doesnt have any personaly anyway so u can say they did a good job
+Peter Parker that's what he was getting at^^
now compare it to Overlord when we listen to the song about how main character slowly becomes insane being confused in the situation he got into while becoming undead when the visuals show us that all side characters are literally stepping stones for him. How's THAT for character development?
THEN DON'T XD
Well he doesn't really slowly go insane. He just kinda feels apathy towards other human beings. Whether or not that is considered insanity would be a case of ethnocentrism, as you cannot assume that an undead's culture would support human life, or excessive bias towards maintaining the former (as shown by cultural relativism).
Now, I haven't actually watched Overlord's OP, only read the first 9-10 light novels (with anime covering up to the end of the third volume), but I find the main character to be highly rational and reasonable.
I feel bad for this guy. I remember back in high school I said I thought SAO was trash and some girl overheard me. She assaulted me, literally. A lot of SAO fans are vicious. I mean you can see examples by looking in the comments.
Holy shit....
Holy shit, were you okay? O_o I knew they were crazy, but that's a bit too far...
CookiKirby Yeah I had a few bruises and some places ached. I recovered but it taught me a lot about fandoms.
She could have been suspended, maybe even expelled for that.
TheVectorSilver She should've. It's dumb to think she was so butt hurt she assaulted another human in attempt to conform them to her thought process -_-
badguy mcrapesuit
this name holds all the character's personality
realization: couldn't sao have been more passable if it was an anthology of short arcs about those various games?
just imagine.
idk but take out the rape/pedo scenes and im fine with it. And give kirito some actual Flaws instead of making him a vegetable
I miss being 12 years old when SAO first came out and enjoying it.....now every time I see it come up, I cringe (crossing field is a bop tho, that's the one exception)
Sorry but who is the idol in your pic
I would kill myself if I ever liked watching SAO again. The first op is still good though.
Seems like it'll be hell watching SAO,
Gonna watch it
I liked season one for a bit til I thought about it
Also season 2 and 3 pretty much ruined it for me
SAO was really fun for me the first time around, since I was really into WoW back then and I had to take a leave from school due to illness, so I had a lot of free time. Now I coudnt bear to watch it considering Ive formed my own taste and critical perspective and standards about anime and entertainment in general
I'm getting the impression you're not a huge fan of SAO.

Actually, it’s called common sense

We talking about the openings or the whole anime here?
I liked SAO it wasn't exeptional but it was entertaining. But after the end of sword art online (the game) it was less interested. As if the real good serie ended at the episode 15 of the first season
@@grawa4278 well, the last season (Alicization) is quite good, even better than the first season when they were inside the game of Sword art online
@@A123ftw alicization is objectively the best sao arc ever. Kirito actually have stakes other than asuna, he's not unreasonably op or have constant plot armor so often, and the harem in the arc, (especially alicization divide i think) wasn't really that bad, it's actually more comical than the srrious protrayal reki essentially tried to do back then.
@@A123ftw I cant say I particularly like the alicization arc, whilst it does do somethings better than previous series I thought it had way to much padding, I probably would've given up on it if I wasn't invested in the series as a whole.
@@zebimicio5204 I don't think the first point you mentioned us something better or a flaw which is fixed,yes he has other stakes but Asuna is everything to him the one who gave him reason to live and to complete the game for her in aincrad, and his highest stake and his most important priority will Always be protecting Asuna, he even didn't tell Asuna anything about Death Gun, because he didn't want to drag her to the danger and even in Alicization he cried seeing her when in coma he couldn't respond to anything else
I can agree with everything else you mentioned
7:33 Since I haven’t actually seen that op, I actually thought his cousin was pushing him onto the road to get run over for being such an OP person
😂😂😂😂
If only that was how the FairyDance arc ended the show would have been much beter 😂😂!!
Now that is how I wanted it to happen
I would love if they killed off Kirito like that.
That's his cousin
Can I just say that I love the name Death Gun? It's such an embodiment of edgyness, it just sounds like a person that has Crawling in my Skin play on an infinite loop in their head. It would be an amazing name for a villain in something like One Punch Man or a video game that doesn't take itself serious.
Aha! you beat me to it
BlackMercury 1344
And he would be way better if his name was DEATH GUN. Reaper may be a bit cliche, but at least it has the potential to sound threatening. Unlike Death Gun, which just sounds ridiculous.
Pretty sure the only way you could be an even bigger edgelord would be if you were, in fact, Shadow the Hedgehog.
I can imagine the kind of character ONE would make if it had the name Death Gun... now I'm actually hoping it will happen because it sounds awesome
Brendan Russell
That would also mean we might get to see Saitama punch Death Gun, so it would be even better.
10:46 also Kirito's avatar would be around 100 meters (330ft) tall, according to perspective.
Can't unsee now
Not really. If they are seen through a lens with giant magnification (like a sniper scope) this still would be alright.
@@misimik I don't really know how scopes work, but how would the snipy girl be so small then ? Is it a thing that just zoom on the center of the lens ? And if so, why is it not deformed ?
And since Sinon is in the shot it's very weird to think we'd be looking through her scope
@@dadydjoe4966 when you decrease your fov(field of view) the perspective is shown less and less and you really can't tell what is closer or farther than what
"And OH WOW
OH GOSH
I WONDER WHO DEATH GUN IS"
I did not pay attention to the intro (to tell you the truth, I barely watched the entire episodes). I thought he might be the guy that Kirito killed to save Asuna. I wonder why they did not do it, they had two options: pick up a character we already know and give him some development, saying that he survived the Nervegear and lost the motor functions and now seeks revenge, or you can bring random characters that Kirito never mentioned and treating them as if they were great thing.
Alexandre Oliveira Arrais uhm, that wouldve been much better XD.
Alexandre Oliveira Arrais that's pretty good
Even his name is shit. Death Gun he has a gun that kills people well thought out.
I actually once came up with an edgy oc parody persona called deathgun as a _joke_ . Deathgun is the name of a character that you're supposed to take seriously as an antagonist.
Glad to see my contest is making people saltier than ever :) - Ko
+Geenesis there's a certain magic you only get out of actually hearing the salt, instead of just reading it.

Or Brussel Sprouts, the one vegetable that tastes wrong and gross unless you're fucking magic.

Whenever I say the openings are good I'm referring to the song rather than the animation, Lisa did a damn good job in crossing field
Yea me too
I never knew OP's had any meaning just flashy crap I ignore after the first episode
same
Because that's pretty much what *all* OPs are...I've certainly always viewed them as nothing more than pretty/interesting visuals and a catchy/good song to draw you in.
8elementallords Nah not all. That's an exaggeration. A lot of Opening are flashy yes, but in many good amines, there is a lot of symbolism and foreshadowing. It's just that a lot of it is hidden or kept vague as to not spoil the show. For instance, JoJo's part 3 OP2 becomes much more crazy when you realize what the main antagonist's power is and how it was reflected in the OP. Hell, they even changed the OP to show that. Death Note has a lot of symbolism with some shots like Kira being Shadowed by his Shinigami revealing his corrupt nature and eventual death to the same Shinigami. While OPs are used to be flashy and appealing, a good OP is one that can introduce you to its characters and premise. SAO in OP1 just made all their characters brood because surprise surprise, they don't have any character. Compare that to Konosuba where the OP tells you everything about how each character relationships work, how each character has their own unique trait, and where it also reflects that sometimes they'll fail (and they do a lot which the OP emphasizes) but they will get one success at least. A good OP is supposed to introduce you to the entire show and give you a better sense of each character and the story.
The songs are usually good, too.
And then there's Gintama... Ooooh God... Look up Gintama op 9 fail. I don't think I'll need to say anything after you watch it.
The abridged version is literally 10 times better than the actual show.
The oficial series seems more like a parody than the actual parody of the abridged series

I thought the three shadows surrounding Kirito were supposed to represent the three people he killed and his torment about it, not the three Death Gun culprits. I can see either being the case, but I still understand the point you were making.
It probably was, but also it's so poorly executed it accidentally spoils the twist about deathgun being 3 people.
11:54 - Yeah, Klein was one of the best characters, second only to Asuna (before they screwed her up in Fairydance arc). Sad thing is, that the show doesn't acknowledge his existance most of the time, probably only because he is not a female. Really, his role 90% of the time boils down to being a comedic relief character and asking questions, so that someone can throw exposition at us. Ironically, he seems to have more personality than Liz and Silica
FINALLY , THANK YOU !
I absolutely love Klein and when I watched sao , I hated how he barely shows up and doesn't get enough time on screen nor epic fights.

I never thought about those things in Ignite. Sorta glad I didn’t, I was a little surprised when I found out who death gun was and how he worked. I also watched mostly when I was slightly intoxicated or high. Kinda explains everything.
The fact that ignite beat Toradora actually Pisses me off badly. Why do people think it's that great?
Simple.....because there are more SAO fans that vote for ignite than Toradora's fans that vote for toradora opening

Pretty much. I swear kirito is one of the most generic and inexplicably overpowered characters I've ever seen.
well DUH, how else can he be a teenage male's empowerment fantasy if he's not generic and overpowered?
Sezune Mizuhana if you know what overpowered means, you know that Kirito is no way overpowered
Animus Foster how is kirito "in no way overpowered" when he's called Jesus.
+Animus Foster Yeah I mean it isn't like he is the only character that used force of will to come back to life for one final attack in a video game where emotions such as resolve don't mean jack squat. It also isn't like he is the only character that can duel wield. Finally it is not like he only character who is a super programmer who can learn the entire code of a game in seconds to bring Yui back to life. (Which mind you having done programming myself I know it would be literally impossible.) Nope your right he definitely isn't overpowered in anyway.
SAO is the type of anime you are supposed to watch while high af so you can go play skyrim afterwards and imagine that you are Kirito then get killed because you forget the controls and pass out on your couch thinking you died in real life because you can think anymore
secretman33 very specific
I wish dr.p while reading this
OMFG IM DIEING

There is underlying hidden meaning connecting all the openings - the MMO experience. Almost every MMO game has an attractive story and well defined concept until updates start pouring in and everything becomes generic.

my god this comment is legendary
That sniper shot from High School of Dead... is that real? Like someone sat down and animated a sniper round flying between breasts unrealistically flopping around?
unfortunately, yes
Yup, and someone actually bothered to do the math regarding how fast her boobs would have to be moving relative to the speed of the bullet and found that if the scene were playing out in real time her boobs would be moving at more than twice the top speed of a fucking F-35 fighter jet. The more I think about it the more hilarious it becomes. Especially considering that at that speed her boobs would also be generating an extremely loud noise. Anime titty physics at its most extreme
Fortunately yes. High School of the Dead is a ridiculous fanservice and fun action scene story with no qualms about it.
Do you guys remember that time when Kirito called Asuna a friend even though he fucked her, lived with her, and took care of a child like it was their daughter? Good times
virtually
Guilherme Antônio i was pretty confused about them doing the dirty part, so did the game get their genitals? Its allowed to remove the rest of the clothing? Did they really make a very accurate scale of the human body?
Victorienne Tiu It made their bodies from a scan of their head. Its likely based on their own senses and knowledge of how they looked. Considering they never fucking explain the creators motives, why the fuck not have genitals.
Rainbow Dashtruction judging by the creators actions... I'd think he would have made it where they did have genitalia. He wasn't planning on going back, why not make it where they could get their rocks off.
Joshua Taft He made it using a company. Images of genitalia are illegal in Japan, so a 'why not' explaination doesnt really fit in SAO. Of course, no reasons ever given because the writer didnt think of one anyway.

Do you hear yourselves? What if I talked shit about KonoSuba for 0% real reason and 100% just to agree with haters?
Specimen X Did you even watch the video? If you think that's "0% real reason", then you're in denial, buddy.
HypnoEmpire Just because some irrelevant person hates SAO doesn't mean you have to.
HypnoEmpire By the way, I said "real reason".
Here's how 99% of people rate OP's: Is the song good? If yes, watch it. If no, skip it. An OP can be a nice window into the show, but most people don't see it that way, and I think most animators have caught on to that. So they all they really focus on is making a song that fits with the show, and some cool shot's. That's why SAO openings do so well in the voting, because most people really couldn't care less about how telling an opening is
+Dizzy Tackson it would be nice if every anime followed in the footsteps of Bakemonogatari and the rest of the Monogatari series when it comes to openings.
I dont watch OP's at all. Call it a bad/good habit.
I fall into the trap of whether or not I like the song. Sometimes, even when I like the song, I stop watching the intro. But I always watch an intro at least once. And one thing I know I hate is blatant spoilers. I'm thinking, "Well ok. That guy's the villain. Great. So much for that mystery."
if you're watching a series, and you don't skip the opening, you start to compare pieces in the opening to stuff you've been seeing in the show, and you start stringing things together to form sort of expectations on what you think might happen next. that, and sometimes the song is also pretty catchy. but different people look for different things, but that doesn't mean that openings need to be lazy either.
FeanixFlamage I do that too. All I'm saying is that most people don't, which is why the SAO openings always do so well in the votes on reddit
SAO was my first anime and was the anime that actually bought me into the "weeb world". the idea of season 1 was amazing because it talks about going into a virtual world but actually living in it and if you get killed by monsters and stuff, *well you die.* but season 2 onwards it just gets... *nani.* like the excitement and fear of "death" is gone and its just like any regular game honestly. I still like SAO that's a fact, but I still wished they didn't rush season 1 and throw Asuna's "character" (from S1 again) out the window. Also, the kirito harem annoys me. Not only cuz im an Asuna and Kirito shipper, but kirito mai boi ARENT YOU ENGAGED TO HER AHEM-
My favorite part is that you put more thought in the OPs than the creators..
Just like any of the fans of the show.
+Deja Entendu true!
I respect that other people don't like SAO. It was one of those shows I just stumbled on without ANY prior knowledge. I just found it on Netflix and gave it a watch, and I actually like it. Still do in fact, with Aincrad and Mother's Rosario being my two favorites. It's not perfect by any means, but remains one of my favorite anime to date. I find a lot of the pacing problems with Aincrad are being solved in SAO Progressive, which breaks down the time the gang spent in SAO.
I don't analyze openings as much as you do, but coming away from it I see what you are trying to say. I still find the openings enjoyable, mostly for the music, and if the opening gets me excited, then it's doing something right. That's all I look for.
+Darth Cinema you are the first person to have the same opinion as me for this show
Indeed
Good jib
+Darth Cinema Okay well you can enjoy it, that' your personal opinion. (Although if you say it's your favorite you CLEARLY haven't seen many good anime) But you can't say it's a great/good anime. Not implying you are saying that, but if you ever do be warned you will have to critically analyze it and then it just falls to pieces.
Zenith Wills Never said it was my all time favorite. It just happens to be ONE of my favorites. FMA Brotherhood is currently my favorite.
I can appreciate this because it's not just 100% negative hate, it's justified criticism. Hell, for the second half of the video, he's constantly chucking in little bits of props here and there, he's not hating, just saying that while he can begrudgingly admit SAO does have good qualities to it, there's still a TON to be criticized. This basically highlights why there is such a tear between people who say SAO is good, or at least enjoyable, and people who say it's absolute trash. To people like him, the details matter, since he understands deeper concepts of what a "perfect" anime should be like and qualities it should have. To people who don't care for such details, they can enjoy the interaction between characters (not so much the chars themselves cause come on, what is personality), animation, music, fighting, and concept of SAO, as a casual viewer. It's really a critic's nightmare, but a casual viewer's "fun thing to watch and not pay too much attention to while I have 20 minutes of nothing in my life"
Except Alfheim arc, if anybody liked Alfheim arc.... get help
Yes, I thought that too. For me, anime is never about just watching something to shut my brain down and have a little fun.
Many people dislike that approach for some reason, because they think it's snnobish and pretentious. I saw a guy comment he started reading more about Shinto mythology after watching Yuuki Yuuna, only to be told he was being a snob for daring to try to learn something new to better enjoy one of his favorite anime. Like WTF?
The Aincrad arc was acceptable as entertainment, at first, but got boring very fast and the resolution was totally stupid. The Alfheim arc (which I watched out of stubbornness) was disgusting in more ways than one. I don't care if they portray rape in an anime, it happens in real life, unfortunately, so it is available for inclusion in fiction. The problem for me was making Asuna, the only decent character in the Aincrad arc, a completely useless damsel in distress. That's an appeal to shounen-like male fantasies beyond even the god-like powers of Kirito ad totally disappointing (and I don't like tsunderes, mind you). After that, I didn't even bother with Gungale On Line.
Jorge Olea didn't know there could be positive hate
Im not a huge fan of this video, only vause it seems biased as hell throughout most of it
Mind you im not an sao fan, but i feel allot of people hate it only cause its cool to hate sao
I personally don't see anything wrong with hating something that isn't good. I think SAO is mistaken for being "overrated" because it has a fanbase just large enough to make a nuisance of itself. In reality a majority of anime fans think it's terrible, but a small minority of the "haters" really enjoy arguing with it's fanbase.
Also some people get a little too personally offended when a shitty thing gets popular. They convince themselves that the people who like it must be retarded when in reality they're either too new to the medium to have developed good taste or just not people who enjoy analyzing things.
SpadeDraco or you know those people get something out of it that you just dont
See thats problem with those who do hate sao constently like mothers basement here, they assume those who like the show are either new to the anime community or are just retarded
We are all humans with different teasts likes and dislikes
You have to admit though that the actual music is really good, even if the actual opening animation isn’t actually deep in meaning
I gave up on this show years ago
I gave up on this show right when Kirito was everyone's pimp.
+Ben Uchiyama lol ikr
+Laura H. Then I got into Log Horizon.
I gave up when yui started pulling the mommy and daddy bullshit but continued watching Sao 1 and 2 because I can't stand starting a series and not finishing it

I tried to give SAO II a shot because of Sniper Waifu.
...I like Shinon, but holy shit why does she have to be stuck as a character in such a shitty anime.
that "give SAO II a shot" pun was pretty meta.
PEKCHEK_Jun Damn son. You got me.
She is your "Waifu" yet you can't even fucking get her name right...
Anonymous Hacker Sinon, Shinon, it's spelled both ways in different places. It's like yelling at someone for spelling "Kongou" over "Kongo".
Or saying "Akihiko Kayaba" instead of "Kayaba Akihiko"
Boku no Pico is a better anime than SAO. It has better character development, plot, and openings.

SAO steals a lot of things it seems.
Michael Jensen Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised by that. The character designs are pretty generic and run of the mill, the premise has been done before (like one I read a long while ago, 1/2 Prince), and of course! Generic moe shots!
It even had a fucking crown over the heart logo. I'm done.
Check out the shot at 2:40 then go watch the very first shot of the 6th Kara no Kyoukai movie. Its pretty much the same thing.
Next thing you know, SAO would be all about Kiri to fighting a group of 13 A.I Data Copy of people who died in the franchise,which would be a great concept if you think about it...but then again, SAO has a reputation of making anything shitty.
Arashi Vallerioda Honestly, I don't think them touching on the ethics of VR would make the show interesting. They'd fuck it up somehow.
"asuna giving up on ever being a good character" LMAO XD
I feel this franchise would have benefited greatly from having character perspectives shift. Like how GGO followed a completely unrelated character dealing with her own issues. Following the Almighty Kirito as he Shonen-Protagonists his way through different games that he's just so totally naturally awesome at you guys until the plot gets bored and resolves itself is kinda boring.

I never even thought this deeply about OPs... and I must admit what you found boring, dull, and bad is what I found pretty interesting and great. Wow, I must thank you for letting us viewers get a much deeper understanding of what these OPs really meant.
I hate this anime's popularity soooo much, almost as much as I hate it itself.
Literally same.
I have only seen a handful of animes. they don't interest me that much, so I'd say I'm a pretty average person who has seen a few animes. For what it is, to the average person, it's pretty good.
What I don't understand is that if you don't like why are you spending time commenting on videos like this? No one cares if you don't like it, and no one should care if you do like it.
This reminds me of Justin Bieber. You can hate him all you fucking want, but he remains popular and his music really isn't that bad looking from the outside. Same with SAO, hate it all you want, but it's going to probably remain popular and you're opinion or comments won't do anything about.

+Risktacer At the very least, they could've given us some Klein sidestory.
i dont know if i am the only one who thinks that SAO would have been far better if Klein was the protagonist of the show instead of kirito
I agree.
Tbh i liked Klein more because Kirito is trash (in my opinion)
Caballero NEGRO YES: Fuck this gun gale online spinoff, and fuck alicetization or whatever. We want KLEIN. Klein deserves better and we deserve better. Ballsdeep69 ftw
Not at all the writer of the series is not very good and he would only end up making Klein worse
Caballero NEGRO No, because I don't want the damn writer to mess Klein up like he did with anyone else.
"Badguy McRapesuit" LMAO
That is in fact his character.
Damn it i almost sneezed coffee out of my nose.
All these problems are invalid in so far as you accept SAO Abridged as the main cannon.
I can forgive a lot in an anime so long as it's entertaining. I really can. But about the time they broke the "first" game, because the bad guy decided to just prematurely end it because of a single badly gone fight, then it's all "real world" and fairies? UGH. Can I just say UGH?! NU. STAPH. Seriously, everything they worked for in the game just GONE, in an instant. No more top tier, no more super level to reach, no more secretive super villain. It just ENDS. And then they're fairies. And I'm just like... no. -_-
Yee, I saw this show when I myself was like 13 and even then it kept pissing me of with cliches and shit like that
I just wanted the finale to be worth the investment.
Do I need to say it. I was disappointed.
Same reason I finished Attack on Titan. Soooooo much angsty, over emotional nationalistic whining. So little satisfaction in return. -_-
I finally got around to finishing Sao 2, tbh the final arc salvaged so much of the series for me that it's amazing. It had heart and that's something Sao hasn't had since the first arc.
I skipped most of each episodes, just to see the game world and the fights. But then.... Let's just not explore the game, erase it, and replace it with a new one! I never tought the show was good, as i only liked certain parts. But this just took those precious moments away.
The fact the opening beat Stand Proud from JoJo still pisses me off to this day.
The fact that *all* of JoJo's OP's got beat is blasphemy against all anime
Jesse Roach finally some one who understands the greatness of JOJO
“Let’s make them suffer.”
I’m a fan of SAO and I genuinely enjoy your videos on it. The show is far from perfect and enjoy watching you pick it apart in ways I didn’t initially see when I watched it. It really helps to see someone else’s point of view on it to see some of the flaws I as a fan wouldn’t see. Still a fan of the show though but I think your absolutely right on most of your points, and I really like how you give examples of when they do things you critique them for. Really great stuff!
You didn't get all pissy and attempted ripped him a new one and instead. We need more people like you.
@@alabamanibs5828 indeed..
It's because of the criticisim that Reki Kwahara started improving his work (and do rewrite which is the progressive version).
If anything sao would be way better anime if the angsty 14 year olds didn't keep defending every thing wrong within the show.
Zebimicio And I know that. I may be a fan of the show but like I said it’s not perfect. The fan base is also far from perfect but that’s because to them they thoroughly enjoy it. SAO is also a really good starting anime for people who have just gotten into it. That’s mainly why I am a fan of the show myself, because it’s one of the first anime shows I watched and enjoyed. Although as of now I do prefer the abridged version by something witty entertainment.
Wow a mature SAO Fan.
SAO was the first anime I ever watched, and the one that got me into it so I have a soft spot for it. Sure, it's not perfect but I like it. Although Toradora should've beaten it.
Same
never watched Toradora but yeah I do have a soft spot for the eariler seasons pf SAO
I had no idea there was a SAO season beyond the whole gun gale thing.
I was really not feeling that suicidal today until I found that out.
AstralBronyCorp it's not, it's just an arc, like alfeim in season 1
Skip the calibur arc and go strait to mothers rosario, Just to help.
The vast majority of fans have no idea what really makes something good or bad. If it has great/flashy visuals and some passable music and tied to a series/subject they like a lot, then it will be the best thing ever. Admittedly, I had no idea what made an OP good or not til i started watching your series, all i cared about was liking the visuals + music.
+Aozora Eyes Opinions.
+1
+Aozora Eyes "The vast majority of fans have no idea what really makes something good or bad."
Opinions, you mean? I don't like SAO but that doesn't make me think that there are such things as objective processes to say a piece of media is "good" or "bad".
Godel-Escher-Bach thank you
That's probably because there isn't even a "real" concept about what's good or bad. Should the OP make a introduction about the story, or should it make the show attractive to make sure that the viewer keeps watching? is there something else? If the answer is no, should we consider both, maybe? In that case, which one is more important and how much it is respect to the other?
We only know that simbolism, metaphors and all those small hints that we would've never even noticed without analyzing the opening show that there's more work behind it than we first thought, but, that doesn't necessarily makes it good, specially if we consider that its goal is to catch the audience interest and fails to do so. In that case, the show might even end up being cancelled
I didn't catch like any of the symbolism in "Ignite", but looking back its so obvious.
That's probably the only gripe i have with the ignite part. He made it seem as if everything was totally obvious from the get-go, whereas it would make sense if you watched the intros over after seeing the explanation and going back to see it.
yeah
+xXx_MaL_GG_xXx I didn't pay any attention to Ignite, even though to me it was obviously giving away who Death Gun was. It was a crappy intro and I thought maybe it was just a mistake in editing, or that they intentionally did that to make you think it was him, then it was really someone else all along. But he was the only expendable character, being that he wasn't a harem babe or a carryover from previous seasons.
+Zadamanim I second this.
+xXx_MaL_GG_xXx "OH GOD THIS ANIME OP SPOILS EVERYTHING" is literally babby's first animu OP observation. They all do, and they all do only in retrospect when you already know everything about the story. They do not when you sit there without a clue what's going on, then it could be interpreted in various ways.
Death Gun is indeed pretty obvious, that cut is very cliche and hints very strongly at it (not that there's too much wrong with that, the original story does this too from the get go, no need to beat around the bush here in my eyes), but the part about the three dudes and laughing coffin is incredibly reaching like a lot in this video. The internet's hate for Sword Art Online is truly hilarious at times, it brings terrible critics out of the woodworks who can't even read the japanese names in the credits, or be arsed to look them up on sites that translate them for you, yet complain about directing in a way that can be summed up with "the story is bad". Yeah, sure it is, but how's that the director's business? Fucking scrub, lol.
I didn’t even finish watching SAO, and I finish everything.
Not everything.....
For all the people saying "why don't you make your own intro and we'll see how good it is"
ruclips.net/video/AAjtyBZE7R0/видео.html
TAKE THAT!
that's literally just you showing off your figurines. I don't see how that helps me know what your channel is about :) nicr try tho
+Curtis Brown look up the masterpiece theater intro and bask in my brilliance.
+Mother's Basement The fact that you reference something makes it better, but honestly it still isn't 'great', which I don't think is bad, you can critique without actually producing stuff like that.
I mean let me break yours down as far as I can see it: You scan the games, you scan the figurines. The order is nice as you kindda get more inside of the game. This continues when you actually zoom into the screen for a transition. Music fits from the beat imho so that's also nice. This is all a reference, but the reference is neither terribly clear, nor something your channel is very related to as far as i can tell and I would wager many people that view your channel don't even know of it so you are missing the demographic.
That said it is 30 seconds long, so hard to actually show a lot, but because of that probably not the best thing to show as a defense to accusations: If someone asks if I can do 100 pullups a video of a single pushup isn't gonna convice them.
+Mother's Basement Dude... Anyone can pick an OP apart and call it bad. Everyone has diffrent opinions. I hate people who critisise things acting like their opinion is a fact. It's an opinion. I have always big a big fan of SAO. Firstly I know that SAO is not the greatest anime out there so don't think I'm wanna of them weebo's who think attack on titan, SAO, and Naruto are the greatest thing since electrity... Yes SAO as an anime has a lot of bad points. Mainly plot holes and erm... alfheim rape-ish garbage that they tried to pass off. Now moving on. You dumped on crossing fields for a few reasons, mainly it not giving any detail to characters besides kirito and asuna and it just showing characters with swords and some scenary. Let me remind you that this anime is based on a midevil RPG. This is not your average anime being that it is gives a huge appeal to gamers. If I am watching a trailer for COD I wouldn't want to see cut scenes of the story line characters just standing around or showing off their personality. I want to see them shoot and blow things up, gameplay. SAO being a midevil rpg I want to see swords and ingame scenary. As for the story plot, Sword Art Online (game not anime/series) is primarily an action romance comedy. The Song is supose to be from the perspective of Asuna. Those words in the song are her emotions and describe her struggles. It is a peice of art. No, not the greatest OP, not even close but not bad at all. Let me just say that all of the SAO opennings are from the perspective of the girl that it is focused on. Inoscence is from the perspective of shugu. Now I will give you the scene where it makes it seems like sugu has a crush on Rape-san, yes poor planning. And everyone knows that Sao was famous for the but shots. Its prooven that fan servivce gets more veiwers. its a double eadged sword b/c it of course drives some veiwers away. I don't understand why people care, everyone acts like they have never seceen a but, panties, or a naked body before but whatever. with or without I could care less, usually makes no diffrence to the story... basically everything else was you being a captain obvious. oh those are white birds, those birds are flying., it must represent freedom. Oh really? wat did you want flying dragons? whats your point? Next one ignite! Again you turn into captin obvious for the most part. picking apart the opening as usuall. idk what you have agaist swords and guns in a chapter about swords and guns... Where you hoping to see them battling with giant rubber chickens? be real dude. Hating on the sniper shot... there is only so many way to show a bullet being shot at someone. again, Gun gale online, hello? its a video game focused on hardcore gun fights. sorry they don't shoot fluffy teddy bears that make random noises when they blow up.again, you are ranting over bs. onto courage! again this song comes from yuki's perspective. for the first part about kirito and his harem, the visuals where rather basic for the opening. yes you could argue that they where being cheap and lazzy by reusing some old clips. but it is supose to be the memorys of everthing they have endured up to this point and how their friendship has developed, or harem... again you hate on action and fighting scenes in a video game based anime. Sorry there wasn't enough character emotion in there for you. Clearly you have a love for shougen and must not be a big fan of action. Basically majority of your points are invalid b/c they are coming from pure hatred for SAO and clearly action animes. ya get 90 sec per opening, not easy to fit a whole series in 90 sec. these are action video game based so they need to focus on action! not your lovey dovey everything is alway happy and cheerful and characters full of emotion. Your just another hater on the band wagon to throw down what you don't like. Could the opening have been beter, yes. are they terrible, no. There are pleanty that are way worse. I would say the OP did so well b/c there are so many diehard sao fans out there even so, you can't just say that its is bad b/c your favorites didn't win. This video is pathetic. a pathetic attempt to say as much as possible to make somthing look bad. where some of your points valid, yes no dout. where most of them over the stupist things emaginable, yup. either way, next time try a little harder. don't let your rage and anger take over. think every aspect out very carefully and make reasonable, logical, decisions. PS. I know my spelling is some garbage and idc... took long enough to type this, not gonna correct evey little thing.

UGH!
"Sword Art Online is Worse Than You Think"
Wow, and I thought SAO was terrible to begin with.
Nice opinion bro.
***** and it's not fact.
If they stoped sword art online after the first game I would consider it a descent anime but then they continued to the second game
unicornmeatman same
Yes, the author should have taken advantage of the 24 (24?) Episodes to make a single big bow from the first game. It could have a real development of the characters, more struggles with some strategy, minor characters have some importance ... When I first saw Yui I thought she was Kayaba's daughter, and I still think it would be very good. Imagine: the tension of caring for a monster's daughter, without letting her know what her father did. The villain is so simple that they could call him "Deus Ex Machina", because even he does not know the reason for creating the game. It does not have a deep story or something to justify it, it is a mere disappointment that a character who had everything to be an incredible genius is a mere device of the plot. It is not arrogance to say that I could recreate Sword Art Online in a better way, because it is not so difficult.
Finally, someone who understands
Yui is still not a good character though and she ruined it for me
same with Kirito's empty personality lol
Guess what there's a 3rd coming soon

One thing that is like to point out about Asuna is her hairstyle. The braid represents her formal and elegant upbringing. While the lose small ponytail represents her _rugged_ side. I say rugged because at this moment as I type this I can’t really think of a better word and im a little to lazy to go and google up a proper word and mess up my safari. While I do enjoy the whole fairy costume they gave her albeit we hardly ever saw her wearing it. I did fell like that was their way of saying she really was the helpless damsel in distress.
