I'm starting to think you don't like SAO
Neon Grey there's no way MB hate SAO :x
Neon Grey What made you think that? :/
how can u say that! cant u see the passion he puts in this video? The ammount of information he gathered? He fuking loves (hating on) SAO :D
Neon Grey deep shit bru
Neon Grey He's an intelligent man. Of course he doesn't like it.
Are we really not going to address how soul-cringingly stupid this [epic life and death struggle] must look like to any offline bystanders?
"Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt!"
that's just the noble sacrifice of the career larper.
Doesn't the headset paralyze the muscles?
kuroganekaze that hasn't been a thing for a while. this is ar. have you not payed attention
Werewolves779. No, I have not. I checked the comments before watching the video. And I haven't seen anything on the show past the first few episodes. DIdn't really grab me. So it changed on later seasons then? Cool to know.
kuroganekaze its only 2 seasons. it changed to ar for this movie.
the nervegear was replaced in season 2 with some other vr thing.
My favorite part was when Kirito yelled at the other players while fighting a boss and they told him "This is just a game, why you mad"
"The power of love burns a lot of calories."
Me: Damn, I need a girlfriend.
Me : Shit I better fucking get away from any form of love or else I'll d I e
iT's cALleD sEX
"I'm so alone....."
*RALP*
"Oh God it's in the Persian Rug!"
Seems like a Catch-22
It also may cause paralysis to fail
"Nobody gets raped." Reki Kawahara is drastically improving.
Pan Z Yuna got raped
OH DAMN IT REKI
Danni Derpy yeah so he improved drastically
Glopps 2 years worth of semen
Pitching Wedge Dammit, you beat me by 2 months.
Imagine how stupid this looks to people that aren't -stand users- playing the game
CammyPlays the Meme Machine Probably the same way people older than 12 looks at SAO
CammyPlays the Meme Machine better question.
CARS?
And yet people played pokemon go...
Kitty Lockspur well you don't have to run around and swing your nonexistent sword at nothing on pokemon go
the whole movie would be redeemed if there was just a three second scene in the middle of one of the fights where we see from the perspective of a random passer-by and get to witness everybody running around like the bunch of jackasses they are.
Youd think if you survived being stuck in SOA youd keep the hell away from anything even close to nerve gear tech for the rest of your life.
SAO
Leo Teillol Oh thank you for correcting me good sir, I thought the anime was called sword ort anline... -.-
Right? I'd think that after news of the tragedy that happened in SAO spread all over the world, no one would want anything to do with it. And really, look at the track record: 10,000 are trapped and 4,000 die in SAO. 300 get trapped in ALO. Then in GGO during a battle royale you can't logout out (not sure if this applies only to participants or everyone) which means you're trapped until it's over. Also, ALO and GGO punish players who logout with that whole, being able to steal off of the soul less body you leave behind thing that shouldn't be a thing.
Kimberly G the last part actually makes sense and is a way to prevent combat logging
Then they absolutely need to find a different way of dealing with that issue.
You forgot to mention how Augma players would get thrown to the ground during boss fights despite that there was nothing in the real world that could push them around....
Why? Because logic.
TheDonHasCome also how they never broke every single bone in their body while being thrown around like that. The problem is in the premise itself. Still liked the movie tho.
They don't get tossed/pushed around by bosses, if the boss attacks them the attacks just go right through them either depleting their health or killing them which them logs them out of the battle
The Yu-gi-oh logic, "Holograms can't hurt you, unless they can...sometimes"
@@amanthajayasuriya7451
Kirito himself visibly staggers multiple times while fighting in AR, and how would blocking even work at that point? You'd just hold up your sword/shield with absolutely 0 knockback?
@@thenerd173 yes he staggers, that could be because of the shock of a giant fuckin sword coming towards you, or just for dramatic effect. Stop talking about realism about an anime. You sound like a fucking idiot using that arguement. Imagine how stupid the players would look without that dramatic effect.
I was wondering how AR players didn't get hit by cars or smash into buildings or literally die while playing, it's like Pokémon Go the movie
Because real-world objects are mapped instead of just erased.
MeepySama everyone who liked this was stupid they have perimeters and barriers blocking in the boss fight so no cars will come in and kill them. Damn people are so cliche in hating on sao.
MeepySama lmao
Recjawjind the Sunbro \[T]/ actually the fight scenes are normally away from roads and even if they are it's at a time where there isn't much traffic.
Recjawjind the Sunbro \[T]/ true true
"and I guess the power of love burns a lot of calories" is one of my new favorite phrases.
I don't think he knows how exercise works.
Honestly I think the Government and Police just straight up don't exist in SAO considering the fact that no one bothered to lock up the people who made the game killing people and they were able to continue to release extra content for their deathtrap
fugy fruit And didn't try to hack into the game and get them out of there...
Basic rule of (terrible) writing I've heard somewhere is that in order for our protagonist to shine, all adults have to be useless.
One thing that was really strange was in the beginning they did the whole everyone looks like how they really look yet it's not used for anything but one small gag at the beginning
fugy fruit It's one of the common criticisms if I remember correctly. "Why does everyone have to be super hot or super cute?" probably so that Kirito-sama can build up his harem.
But the people that did made the game did get locked away...
*goes around pickpocketing everyone playing the game*
No rogue class allowed D:
Did any SAO players get triggered by PTSD from having to fight a boss that had slaughtered and killed their friends from SAO? Probably not, because that would take decent writing ability.
CogniVision SAO was a huge fucking mistake.
Thats what actually happened. The reason why the machines could steal their memories was through putting them in traumatic experiences that triggers their past memories of their experiences in SAO, which the machine can identify and scan it away. Except, you know this guy probably didn't even bother to understand what is happening in the film.
Haneoto Tsukiya All you did was just explain how the machine scans their memories. I haven't seen any example of them actually havin a PTSD reaction from any memories. They all look pretty damn happy fighting those enemies. So basically, it's just more bad writing. "By having fun with our game, they will remember past experiences, and we will scan those and steal their memory!"
Just scanning the memory isn't enough, it has to STEAL the memory. Because after creating some magical tech that scans people's memories, adding in a copy-paste shortcut is just too much damn work. We'll make a cut-paste shortcut instead. Poor writing for forced drama.
there is a chance none of them got ptsd..people are resiliant after being stuck in that enviorment you would very easily get over death of other people.
That's not how psychology works little kid. A bunch of first-world kids, teens, and adults play an MMO. They get trapped in a violent world against their will, and not only have to fear death from monsters and some overpowered enemy in a dungeon, but also from other players who were psychopaths and are using the world as a way to fulfill their sadistic desire for hurting and killing others.
Then after being used to living in this 'environment' of constant fear and distrust of others, you wake up and are back in reality which is drastically different than what you've been experiencing. Your body is weak from atrophy, your behind in your years and the government throws you into a rehab program with other players from the game. For all you know some of those people sitting with you in that classroom are from the same murderous guilds that tried to kill you and your friends.
People who have been in maximum security prison for years already have a hard enough time readjusting to the world. SAO was also a prison, a prison with no guards; a prison that tried to kill you every step of the way through. And so far it seems not a single player from SAO gives any shits. They immediately go and play another game based off of SAO right out of SAO. The very next season of SAO was about another murderous SAO member, not being broken and coming to terms with the fact that they now have to face the reality of their crimes and look at people whose friends they may have killed in the face, but are like "hey man, killing wasn't so bad. Let's do some more of it in this other game!"
And now we have this movie... and the only one who seems to be devastated about the events of the tragedy that was SAO, is not even a person who played the game. It's the father of someone who played the game.
I mean. Kirito basically watched his first love and his entire guild die, all his fault for hiding his true power, and he wasn't broken up about that for long! Where are the parents screaming at the other players wondering where their child is? For all they know, their child's killer could be one of those other kids that woke up. SAO ignores all the emotional aspects that could make it a worthwhile show. Instead the only people who seem to have emotion in SAO are the villains.
Here we go again. You know the drill guys. Grab your popcorn. We're in for another ride.

Nice.
D180223 bro your everywhere I go lol
I got my soda ready just in case if anyone thirsty when watching this video.
I wonder how many SAO fans are going to unsubscribe from Super Bunnyhop for this?
SAO shot an arrow at my knee.
"Power of love helps burn calories!"
Oh boy! That would make life easier except I am not capable of feeling love.
Bea you made me laugh. Have a like
Alistairical oh you too? we should totally go around the world making a RUclips video and say fuck you to couples and find one guy or girl by themself and say "this person gets it, I like him/her." and find out they're in a relationship. Then say "fuck you the most, I'm out."
But......you could say you love making puns/memes?
this remind me of job searching.you cannot get love because you are overweight because you cannot burn calories with the power of love because you are over weight.
the cringe hurts, kill me
The thing that really annoyed me was that when they fight there is physical resistance shown, despite everything being projections. Like why do Kirito and Eiji's swords ever actually meet, they don't actually exist, they should just be fall into each other while doing sword motions.
YES!! Unless, somehow, the weird AI thingy is manipulating their senses into clenching their muscles and feeling resistance that isn't there.
@@rattersworld1016 Issue with that is that it could easily cause you severe bodily harm if it doesnt have any or even just doesnt have good enough systems to prevent excess strain from suddenly simulating resistance.
@@InsufficientGravitas sao is the show where they tried to kill all the players for daring to buy the game, i dont think safety is of much concern to them...
@@mikeysaurlol LOL good points made on both sides
@@rattersworld1016 🤣
I admit, I just came here to see more SAO bashing.
Wouldn't the worst SAO player be, y'know, dead upon leaving the starter town?
I think the worst SAO player would be the one that never actually leaves the starter town and just kept pissing himself for 2 years straight OR got a job in said starter town and just kept waiting like the spineless bitch that he is.
No, it's the guy who jumped off the edge at the start.
Tbh, at least he tried.
He fought, he survived so far but his emotions took the best of him and he rather died by his own actions than during the fear of battle where he's faced with whatever horrific creature SAO had to offer.
...
Either that or he realized he's in fucking SAO far too late and opted to die ASAP rather than stay a second longer in that God-forsaken piece of shit of a series.
i cam here to see the idiots who bash SAO for bad reasons.
it's not the worst anime nor the best but people are way too angry at it.
Augma steals your memories of SAO? Sign me up!
James Zetterman Sounds like a good bleach alternative
Lol
James Zetterman i'd pay for that
Wouldn't a lack of memories of SAO lead you to watching it again due to all the hype from friends and media? Sounds like a loss even in a perfect scenario.
hmm..would be better if they deleted SAO from existence,then sold augma to delete memories of SAO.
and they said NARUTO was bullshit. look at fucking SAO. tell me it's not worse.
I'm very surprised you didn't talk about the simple fact that the main conflict is already broken because obviously most SAO players didn't even know this girl so taking their memories is like taking a souvenir. Completely broken conflict.
and why he wouldnt just take ejji's memories from the get go since he was the one that spent most time with her. And why ejji doesn't realise that all what he's doing to the other sao survivors would happen to him as well.
Or better yet, even if you accept the villain's shitty premise (which is actually Kawahara's shitty premise), he would have to realize that some of those thousands of people who died in SAO would have met Yuuna, and he'll never get their memories. So no matter how hard he tries, even if he succeeded at the stadium, he wouldn't have achieved his goal. (On that note, the counter is counting up to 10,000, totally neglecting that there aren't 10,000 survivors, basically proving they completely forgot about people dying and wrote this premise on false information).
he doesn't know who knew and who didn't knew her so he just want to take everybody just to be sure...
kionashi But he never once stopped to think "wait, didn't 4,000 people die in SAO? How many of them met my daughter, and I'll never be able to capture their memories of her and thus my goal will never actually be complete?" The movie had a really bad premise. That's just unavoidable.
there is no such thing as a "complete" capture unless he were capturing her daughter, he was just collecting as much as he could possibly can to get the most accurate version of her....
I need a gif of the reaper’s eyes freaking out.
JackStache plays *Same*
Agreed.

This movie is actually an unintentional comedy. Think about it, all the players of Oridinal Scale are basically running around their home cities like idiots, trying to kill monsters no one without Augma can see.
When silica is about to get ganked by a dragon, asuna screams her name at the top of her lungs. Laughed my ass off.
I haven't seen the movie yet, but that does sound pretty funny. Maybe I'll get the movie just to laugh at it, like I do with Dragonball Evolution.
Now I'm gonna watch this movie and just remove all the virtual visuals in my mind. :)
Wait, is ordinal scale built into the system? Or is it downloadable software? Because not all people are gamers, not all gamers would download this game. So it devolves to a couple hundred/thousand(?) people running around swinging fake swords. But I didn't see a single bystander from the perspective of the game world. All of the background characters are in fantasy attire. So this means that the AR tech just ignores the existence of people that aren't playing the game. Meaning that it is highly likely that players will just crash into the millions of normal people and/or cars in the world since there is no game rendered version of them.
And if I'm wrong and the game is bloatware, then why the hell are there so few people? I'm 99% sure that Akihabara is not gonna see only 9 people on any given street, that's completely impossible.
Oridinal Scale is merely a game for it. The Augma, from what I've heard, is a sort of communication device, like a cellphone.
Welcome to SAO, were you can ruin peoples lives and the government don't matter.
''It takes away peoples memory, made out of a helmet that killed over 10000 people, and we didn't ever watch over the development of the technology, meh who cares.'' - Government
Whose line is it anyways?
10,000 people? Isn't that what the whole population of SAO was? I thought that it ended up killing ~ 5,000 people by the end of that series.
Mage Chartreux the funny thing is, that would mean the game's playerbase is dead/the game was not very successful. So the amount of death would not have been all that high since it never had a playerbase the size of WoW or any other popular MMO.
boyishdude1234
Was it Mother'sBasement who said that first? I can't remember, but that wasn't *really* my point. :p I feel like SAO missed an obvious way out of that while still allowing for smaller player server things: created different fucking servers and then say you have a million players worldwide, all on a few thousand different servers. Kirito would be on a server with roughly 10,000 players. That's one plot hole fixed.
Random nothingness Nice whose line reference.
I appreciate the fact that SAO criticism has stopped being useful criticism guiding a person's decision to watch/not watch and become a sort of entertainment genre of its own. Incredible. Thank you for suffering through new SAO content to bring us high class complaints again and again.
Eric Gardner why is there no reply
The utter sarcasm in this is unbearable lol
I don't even consider actually watching SAO at this point
Eric Gardner I hope you're being sarcastic, because there are people who don't like that shit!
IKR
When you started talking about how would the goverment just work with that shit and why would people be ok with it, all I could think was "hey this is the same universe where hospitals have no one working at 10pm and is open for anyone to enter any room.
So really the plot holes in SAO are not even a surprise anymore
Yeah you just watch Sao for satisfaction
Watch Kirito hacking power system and killing all the enemies with no training at all
Choose the girl you love in the series
Ignore all the bugs in the series
Thinking yourself is Kirito and has harem to play with
Just because the government supervised it doesn't mean they knew everything about it. If that was true, then the Samsung Galaxy 7 never would have been released.
@@darkstorm2579 the phone wasn't technology used in a terrorist attack previously, they literally just used shit batteries mixed whith another providers batteries.
In augmented reality how do you feel the weight of a weapon, the force of a blow, the strain of a block? How do you do that so your players don’t move through the opponent’s body or weapons?
also if bosses toss you how does that work
Theres no weapon weight
The force of blow also not exist, but while kirito fought eiji, eiji hit his hand to kiritos hand instead of the sword
@@AnishJBhave no boss did that.
Spiderman Far from Home explains it
Maybe its mind over matter... When you get hit your mind (or your choice of evil electronic headwear) essentially tells your body what happens... Maybe.
Also why does "Reaper Guy" always get an UNFAIR fight... first Yui (who is immortal) then Yuuna (who is also immortal) then Kirito(with that OP final boss loot sword)... stop Reaper Guy abuse
Also the "Ghost Yuuki" is actually Asuna using Yuuki's 11-hit combo
the real question is why dies the series suck so much, and why do people still watch it.
because most people dont read too much into media, which frankly would make most if not all of it unenjoyable. They either dont want to or simply cant/don't want to invest so much time and energy into overanalizing an series/movie. You can take ANY series, movie, book or any other type of media apart the exact same way, since most of them arent meant to be hyperrealistic or even logical all the time. Sure, one thing that came to my mind pretty early in the movie was that the fight scenes are certainly a bit over the top considering this is supposed to be reallife in an AR enviorment, but this didnt take me out of it completly.
Hollywood movies in particular are very bad at any kind of logic or realism, like Star Wars for example which arguably is one of the most loved franchises out there even tho they have MASSIVE plot holes and inconsistancies in every single movie, even if they try to somehow cover them up by trying to come up with an justification/explaination in spin-off movies or even (canon) videogames. (Main) Star Wars movies always follow the same formular aswell and yet the majority of people still likes them. If you really boil it down to its essence SW8 has an much shallower plot than SOA (let it be the series or movies) has and still the majority of people likes it. Not to imply that it is an bad movie, unless you start putting to much energy into analizing it and overthink it of course. In the end all movies are just special effects fireworks that somehow need to fill 90-150 minutes of screentime.
#ReaperLivesMatter
personally i disregard SAO proper in favour of SAO: Abridged
Poor Reaper Guy. He just wouldn't give up trying to kill Kirito, Asuna, and Yui. By far the best character in all of the SAO anime. RIP Reaper Guy, who gave his life 3 times trying to accomplish something that Jesus Kun has deemed beyond impossible. #1 saddest anime death scene. He shall be remembered, up there with Twigo from Seven Deadly Sins and Clovis from Code Geass...
...
Am I right???
Instead of making a public announcement to SAO survivors to help him on an experiment to recreate her lost daugher, maybe masquerading as testing the long-term effects of the game on their players, with a promise of the shiny new gadget and a lifetime subscription to whatever VR/AR MMO of the moment, he decides to do the dumbest and most evil possible thing.
Blue Bird that would be a way better scheme
says in the movie that taking their memory is the only way. And some people wouldn't want that so he has to do it by force
Why? No, seriously, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Hell, when you delete data in real life you just open that slot to be overritten. your data is still there. There's no good reason the machine deletes localized memories except 'plot'. Even then, he could improve the machine so it stops doing so, or at least so it won't be lethal to the user.
this isn't supposed to be like 5000 years in the future and if it was someone's kid and getting them back they would do it any day, when you look threw memories their deep in the brain (that's why you only hear of old people losing memory because their body is weaker) and it would take years, decades, and maybe even centuries to learn how to do it safely. this isn't like a puzzle where you can take apart and fix the picture it would take taking it out safely (which would probably be a very slow process taking into account their Tec) and putting it back which would be more dangerous because if its misplaced it can deal major brain damage if its put into some important nerves (feel hungry, pain etc.) and if you put it in the middle of an important part of their life then their personality itself could change because events in life change people.
that took 5min to make so expect error
I don't think you're being unfair for wanting more details about the technology considering the way the tech works is a major plot point of the movie.
No it isn't. Mother's Basement didn't pay attention to the movie.
Frank Grizzaffi How about you tell us how he didn’t pay attention first before attempting to justify the complete lack of logic of this entire movie. I liked SAO, I disagree with a lot of what Geoff said about it, but I agree that the movie sucks. Seriously, they are supposedly moving in real life just with virtual graphics over the real world, hence why it’s called “augmented reality”. So how the f**k didn’t Eiji broke his legs after he jumped off that building?
@@RandomPerson-cm2wg his suit allowed him to do more extreme things. It’s literally shown in the movie that his suit lets him go faster and stronger at times.
@@Sleepyhead_Salby Then that just makes it even more ridiculous, how is Kirito, a computer nerd that hasn't been practicing his kendo for 2 years and spent it all playing video games able to keep up with a physically enhanced human?
@@RandomPerson-cm2wg I like the fact that the government pays more attention towards the augma rather than a super suit able to enhance soldier’s performance.
But eh.
IF this is an AR game, how could you do a sword battle with a technology-illusion sword? how can you feel something when it's not there? how can you feel the mass and hear the sound of colliding swords? this makes no sense!
Random Scroller I thought about this too, like, how? They fucking fight with air!
TheScape55 Right, this is an anime and it's sao! So no thinking= good
As the title suggests it makes no sense anywhere.
Let's hope none of them run into other people... Or cars.
SAO director : When it's cool but it's dumb, it's still cool. fuck science and logic! people just want some fuckin' sword battle action with no reason and teenagers' romance! who cares about physics' law when you can see some sick animation? that's right no one! Bitch!
lol
I think my favorite part about this comment section is the multitude of commenters who seem to think Mr. Basement here should take a "If you don't like it, don't watch it," attitude towards this anime in particular.
Two things.
One, you do realize that if everyone took that attitude towards something, then criticism would not exist as it should.
Two, if that is how you really feel then answer this. Why are you watching this video right now?
AssassinoJaxon
Why doesn't the have more likes. It's a fair argument.
3: YOU CAN'T UNWATCH SOMETHING!
AssassinoJaxon how can someone like or hate an anime if they don't watch it?
Haminator Ainz A good point. Please address this issue to people who seem to think that this is possible, cause the answer eludes me.
AssassinoJaxon good that someone else sees the logic of what I say
Fun fact; first time I watched SAO, I accidentally saw the last episode first. So I went into the show thinking it was a psychological thriller about two lovers who can't separate video games from real life. And then I watched it all with my cousin and I thought it was really good....but I forgot that I had kept leaving to do other things while the show was playing. So I watched it again and saw all the parts I missed and realized "wow....this show is better when you remove all the boring shit". And then I watched the first ep of the gun show because my cousin fucking loves it, and I swear to god it was so boring I almost fell asleep.
TubbsTheCat that's a cool story
TubbsTheCat std hahaha
TubbsTheCat - Love your cousin ^^ I love SAO too.
Owstar Animal Jam I love SAO to ❤💙💚💛💜

"Yeah, so I'm trying to revive my dauther, who also happens to be the very same microskirt-wearing mascot character I made for this game... what?"
"I guess that makes sense, except it TOTALLY FUCKING DOESN'T" Even to this day this is still Geoff's best line read ever!
No
@@MGNew Thank you for your very insightful and well articulated response to my 3 year old comment.
It was truly hysterical delivery.

Wait. This AR game takes place overlaid on top of the real world. If Kirito and Eiji lock swords, what the fuck is actually stopping their arms in place? The bosses never seem to interact with the players real physical body in any way such as displacing them with an attack. The Augma has the capacity of controlling your body and NOBODY ever fucking figured that out?
KuronoXD True
KuronoXD and explain to me how no one is foing anything im their normal lives for example there is a scene where a car turns into a stack of crates and barrels. im pretty damn sure that someone would have used that car at some fucking point. if a group of kids has to watch out for cars when they play basketball in the street explain to me how people having fantasy fights everywhere are not running into or hitting people on accident 24/7
KuronoXD 1: Anime psyics 2: Wouldn't you be able to swing through things like thin air, and do weapons even weigh anything?
Alexzander Hernandez lel seems like you haven't watched the movie, there are specific places where the boss spawns and its surrounded by blockades so no cars and shit hit the players
furiousranger 2614 okay, cool that explains the boss rooms but not everything else but thanks.
Isn't this whole ... create an AI version of a dead person the EXACT PLOT from Astroboy?
also there's a black mirror episode about this where a person's personality is reconstructed into an AI by collecting all of their emails, social media posts etc and it explores all those great themes you were talking about lol
Astroboy and black mirror don't involve wiping people's memories.
Also, Astroboy is an anime :P
memory is a huge theme throughout the whole of Black Mirror. And I was talking about the Astroboy movie which is CG, but I'm pretty sure the comic had similar themes but even so what does it being an anime have to do with anything? SAO is an anime too.
I get a Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker vibe from it myself
Red Lantern Reviews: Damn you for bringing up The Boss AI before I could. And damn you, SAO, for ripping off the AI also being a Vocaloid.
This movie could have been a real short movie if Kirito or Asuna had been hit by a car while running out onto the road while emerged in the AR...
Crescent (insert legend of zelda: breath of the wild 'game over' text here)
be even funnier if it was still overlayed with the AR Barrel.
Idea for making it a tad more interesting:
Yuna is already at 95% sync. The creator has been data mining people's memories for months. The memory stealing is just copying data, not taking it out of people's brains, so no one really notices. But the last memory he needs is the memory of her death, that moment of terror that really defines a person.
He knows she was killed by a player character and he has yet to find that person, so it's a revenge thing as well. And he's a player in the game as well.
Good idea!
The thing I hate the most about SAO is that it has the potential to be so, so much better. A lot of the concepts are actually pretty cool and are either never explored or read like they've been made up on the spot to fill a plot hole. The idea of an AR device that interfaces directly with your brain has the potential to be a really interesting plot device and they just garbled it until nothing makes any sense any more. It's outright annoying.
John Reynolds EXACTLY!!!! It has so much potential to be REALLY good! It's sad that the abridged series of this is literally 10 times better
So it's like the Walking Dead show then? Something with great promise or potential that fails to deliver, which makes you hate it, but also makes you keep up with it in the van hope of seeing it get better, much like watching over a sick friend.
A_row_gta_o My issue with it isn't to do with the animation. I like the animation. I just didn't like the plot, and most of the characters, and a few other things.
John Reynolds did they just make this show just to trigger people
Just go watch SAO abridged . . .trust me you will thank me
So... why do they move like their weapons have weight? There's nothing there. There's no reason that you couldn't just go with the good ol' Vive-Sword-Waggle and completely wreck everybody.
MadmanEpic Same thing with getting hit, a guy was sent flying by a boss hit, if someone without those glasses saw that it may'vr looked like a poltergeist was attacking him. I think this game, being AR, would not work unless it got rid of knockback, but they wanted to have the most epikest animu fights
Because, as I said about SAO and GGOL, the author is stupid enough to push this as an MMO but writes the story as an Isekai.They're not characters in a game, they're people living in a parallel world. The author couldn't care a rat's fart about the MMO thing, he just uses it as an excuse and thinks it's allright because he knows nothing about MMOs.
also why the monster that fight againt fuurinkazan breaks the pillars
0Clewi0 where those pillars even real?
Haminator Ainz or there were short like those car stoppers or there were indeed pilars (I believe but won't check)
Watching you dissect SAO is more fun and entertaining than watching the actual show
yet you've probably never seen it
I've seen it and I confirm it
Pedro Bacellar same. The actual show bores me...
Don't worry it's not very hard to do.
Not a very high bar to climb
Fun fact sugaha was absent (at kendo camp) because they couldn’t justify her, due to her real life abilities (swordsmanship) and athletic talents had her as the best player of ar and they obviously couldn’t have that otherwise she could do everything instead of kirito
I could listen to you tear into SAO for days. Let's me know what's shit about it without needing to absorb any of the media myself
Xanran Doto talk about a sheep being lead. It's shit from his point of view which honestly isn't even that sound. It's the same crap I hear from everyone who hates SAO. I guess where you hear one person hate on something you hear them all who hate on it.
Michael Feehan what is there to like about Sao it's even worse than trash like bleach
Not everyone enjoys bad writing and a promising idea getting ruined with harems and rape.
Michael Feehan Give me one good reason why the tentacle rape scene in the ALO arc needed to be there. I'll wait.
Kingdom080500 oh there was no reason. No one could find a way to justify that outside of probably giving into a fetish or some kind or something but Japan will be Japan.
I've seen fanfics with better writing than this movie.

Haha, I couldn't stop thinking about that when watching the footage in this video. They're probably getting hit by cars and trampling pedestrians all the time too.
If you really think about it, this Augma would NEVER work even on a conceptual level.
It was shown that a parked car turned into part of the environment. What happens to the cars that are moving?
What about what happens to moving cars? What about pedestrians?
It can't be that non-players disappear. What if the players, who wouldn't see them, bump into them?
Moreover, doesn't it seem possible that the visual interference is, I don't know, totally dangerous? In real life VR, we've already seen people bump into shit when they get too immersed.
So many questions, and any answers can only be provided by second-guessing on the intent of the writer.

ThePikachuvirus he doesn't hate SAO , he just can't take too many nonsense in SAO. i mean , it (ordinal scale) is a movie , the animation and everything is has to be good. but you can't make a good movie with just, THAT.
ThePikachuvirus "Konosuba to me isn't funny and I hope I never will."
You are asking MB to change his stance on SAO OS in regards to his critique when you openly say you won't change your opinion on Konosuba? Even if someone discovered all your points against Konosuba were wrong and showed you in a manner you could understand (not saying your points are wrong, but they could be)?
Then why doesn't MB take your position and ignore you? Why write reviews/analysis at all if it doesn't aim to inform you of an idea or concept you didn't think about or care about in the first place?
It's fine to hate something for reasons that makes sense to you. Yet ignoring other people's stances on the basis of an unfounded negative biase is close-minded and ignorant.
Open your mind to new ideas and concepts and evaluate whether they mean anything to you before asking others to do the same.
Why didn’t he just use his own damn memories???
Probably because people from SAO would've had more recent memories of his daughter when she was trapped. The problem is with the stealing memories causes brain damage, which completely negates the chance of restoring it. But apparently the device not only can fuck up your brain, is also the ultimate technology in brain surgery.
Because Reki Kawahara is too lazy to write a plot that makes sense.

"Spoilers for this movie" Because of that statement I wasted the following two hours of my life watching the most predictable plot in the history of Anime....
Should’ve paid attention to what he was actually saying at that point:
“If you’re just here to hear my opinion about it before seeing it yourself, don’t. Watch this video instead; the movie fucking sucks.”
Criticizing *SAO* is NOT like beating a dead horse... it's like beating an undead horse that keeps coming back and feasting on the supple brains of it's naive audience. People keep trying to rekill it and begging it's followers to maybe stop summoning the hell spawn back to this plane of existence but they don't! THEY KEEP REPEATING THE BLOOD OATH TO DARK LORD REKI!! HE HATH COME TO REAP THE INNOCENT OF THEIR POCKET MONEY AND FREE TIME, FLEE CHILDREN, FLEEEEEEEEE!!!

Oh, crap! Did I just call Reki Kawahara the creator and leader of the machine menace that overruns the Earth(as shown in the Animatrix shorts The Second Renaissance 1 and 2)?

Y'know what, fuck you. Go fuck yourself. SAO is the best you can get with anime of this genre and don't tell me otherwise. I've tried the others. They're worse.

My friend who loves SAO and says that it's one of the best anime ever will still reject anything in this video and want to go see it. He likes this so much, but yet refuses to watch JoJo "because it looks weird" or something. What should I do to show him the light?
Blueguygaming the best thing to do in this situation is to put him down...

Tell him to broaden his horizons. I don't really care if someone likes SAO but, if they don't try anything new because "it looks weird," then they are close-minded.

Memories aren't stored in the spinal cord. Is there anything about SAO that isn't dumb?
Hell, memories aren't even stored! They're recreated each time you remember them in your brain.
Memories are stored in the brain.
Yes Cyntical but the world SAO is set in works differently as shown with multiple things such as time travel and Brain burst .exe it's 100% possible in their reality memories are stored in the spinal cord as their anatomy is clearly different from humans (see brain burst) a real life human brain could never do that.
Jaime Stark They creators of SAO don't have brains, so they probably didn't know how they worked.
Ryu Lightorb Brain burst is from a different anime, get your facts straight.
The biggest problem with all of SAO, or rather everything Kawahara writes, is that he doesn't know MMOs, technology, or how video games work. He comes up with pretty interesting concepts, but quickly writes himself into a corner and just pulls BS out of the air to make everything somehow fit well enough to publish. I've always given his work some leeway since SAO was mostly self-published, so he lacked the benefit of an editor to tell him when his ideas were terrible, but from what I've seen of Accel World (just the anime), it doesn't look like he's improved by much.
I look upon his works as primarily nerd-fulfillment, video game nerd gets a harem, and the rest of the setting and plot as just a means to that end.
30:56 Sugu in her underwear, "more marketable."
Gaudy6523 Accel World is much better as a book, but the anime still does decently. Honestly, I love it, even with its faults. One thing I love is that it gives the main character one special power, and the chapter after that elaborates how that power actually makes him worse in many ways.
He can't just outspeed a bullet, he tries that and fails every time, he has to actually learn how to read tells in combat to even have a chance, and he's only shown doing it maybe twice. And even with his wings, mobility is all he has going for him: every party member is better than him, and his girlfriend is one of the top 8 players ever. Even IRL, he's not shown as attractive, the best he usually gets is being called "cute", which adds onto his feelings of emasculation.
Chrome Disaster and Lime Bell are pretty good sources of asspulls, but even then they bring up some interesting ideas for the characters to get around.
overall, I'd see Haru as a better way to use Kirito. Where Kirito is the best and the sexiest at everything, Haru is shown as shirt, fat, and not even overly smart. All he has is his video games, and then he loses that too. Kirito has a unique skill noone else has and it only ever makes him better and stronger just from having it, Haru gets the ability to fly, and he gets a brief burst of fame from being the first, but whenever he fights someone with a gun (which is often) he is just a floating target. He can't even use it all the time, as it uses his energy meter, meaning he is by default just an underpowered melee fighter.
He even has fewer harem members, with Niko seeing him more as a genuine older brother, and the only two official members being Kuroyuki and Chiyo (being Taku is suffering). The stakes arent as overly dramatic either, the worst that can happen as a direct result of the game is a loss of access to the game. Everything else is a result of metagaming, like with Sky Raker.
that moment when you realize that Kawahara can make a story involving AR and VR technology into something more ridiculous than a story about a guy who makes a time machine using a microwave oven and a phone
For me, the problem is less that he doesn't understand the technology and culture he uses for his stories, it's more that he can't keep his rules straight within his own universe. I didn't realize this while watching SAO, but when I tried to watch Accel World a while later, I stopped after 10-12 episodes (I think) because I was just getting annoyed and bored by the constant exposition dumps. Almost every episode dropped new plot exposition that works conveniently to make the plot move into the direction Kawahara wants it to. It's pretty clear that he didn't think of any of this beforehand or planned the details for his story, he just makes rules up on the stop to make the story move along. Everything I know about Gun Gale comes from second hand sources in reviews, riffing sessions and such, but that's enough to confirm my suspicion that he didn't think anything trough and just made up new rules every few seconds ("you can't hide from the satellite scan!! It's supposed to prevent camping!!" - "oh, unless you're underwater or in a cave, then you're totally hidden.")
Strangely accel world is still a better-balanced game than sao from what I remember.
What if someone got ran over?

Wait shouldn't kirito be fit since he practices kendo
Sure
Not considering the fact that his body was wasting away for 2 years without any exercise during the initial SAO incident.
@@jasonwillows5239
That was already addressed at the end of the first season of SAO, where he goes through physical therapy. Considering he also gives Suguha, someone who never stopped practicing, some trouble using one-handed Nito-Ryu(that shit’s difficult as fuck, believe me), his lack of fitness in OS makes no godamn sense. If anything, the fact that he’s the ONLY ONE in the main cast that has any background in any kind of martial art or sport while everyone else also had the same muscle atrophy problems as he did should make him uniquely suited to athletic displays in AR play. But trust Reki to forget his own protagonist’s backstory to contrive a cheap “weakness” that he then somehow completely solves by playing solo for all of a couple of days(as if it’s possible to actually develop any notable muscle mass or reflexes in that amount of time).
TL;DR, TRASH
yes but in the movie Asuna deadass says hes unfit and in one week he goes from being the weakest to strongest
Guess depression made him weaker
Maybe
Just maybe
I think you dislike SAO
I mean, it's POSSIBLE, but we need to look into it more.
I don't see why would think that.

Wtf the whole time I was thinking he's in love with the show.. GOSH DARNIT :(
@Shigani Kanaki Btw, I like your pic :D.
I'm looking forward to the western version of SAO, where nobody cares about the bad stuff happening past telling the protagonist to 'git gud'.
Minim There was a western version of SAO, which was(and always will be)better than SAO: it's called The Matrix.
What's funnier is that The Matrix was created YEARS BEFORE SAO LN Vol. 1.
@Graeme Williams: Neo: "What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets? Morpheus:"No Neo. I'm telling you to L2P.
Minim I want to see a parody of SAO where the game is dark souls.
Let's see if kirito can dodge roll his way past Gwyn.
+timemadscientist Greatscot! Have him fight Ornstein and Smough instead. I wanna see Kirito suffer.
While it sucks, Kirito would technically have an easy time at darksouls. His dumb as bricks regen wold top him off between their attacks, so that they slowly wear their hands/teeth/weapons down against his skull.
After re-watching this for the fifth time I have a question... How can you be the worst player in sword art online but not be dead? I mean the "Worst survivor" is still a survivor and just about anyone would be stronger than the smith girl who never went questing since her guild got Killed except for with Kirito and then never again.
cuz he did what most bad players would do, stay out of the fight. This brings up the question, how did yuna die, in all the memories she's just seen making music in towns...
If you wish to know how she died. Taken from the wiki, spoilers obviously.
She was killed in battle in a field dungeon on the 40th Floor of Aincrad by a group of tormentor-class minions of the Feral Warder Chief that she had drawn to herself to protect her party from being annihilated. And the reason why she was there was to help someone that was trapped in a field dungeon or something.
Rémi Clinquart
maybe she was ambushed between towns? I mean, it's reasonable to assume that she was alone when she died. Or maybe someone murdered her. Possibilities are endless in a death game where we never got to see this character. Of course, there's also always the possibility that she did fight, and we just don't get to see it. Who knows though? Maybe the dad tried to take her helmet off and killed her instantly?
because he wasnt the worst player. mothers basement is overexaggerating as he always does
You do have the option to not fight. You're not required to fight at all, especially since it's shown that there were children in that game and I doubt those kids would be forced to fight.
Yuuki's ghost didn't appear. We just see Asuna using Mother's Rosario (Yuuki's personal skill she gave onto Asuna when she died) and then Asuna's Avatar turns into Yuuki's Avatar to show Asuna is attacking with Yuuki's indirect help, because she inherited the skill from Yuuki. It's not like Yuuki just appeared out of nowhere fighting the boss individually. Therefore, it's just service to all Yuuki fans, but no ghosts were shown.
So... fan service got it!

This movie, SAO Ordinal Scale, has a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes RIGHT NOW WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THIS WORLD!!!!!!!
Giggukarda Guy People like junk food, I guess.
Hence the Transformer's movies.
Because people don't understand how Rotten Tomatoes works.
Rotten Tomatoes tells you how _many_ people thought a movie was worth their time. So if a movie has an 80%, for example, it _doesn't_ mean it has a score of 8/10, it means that 80% of the people who rated it rated it worth watching.
So how Ordinal Scale could achieve a 95% is actually pretty easy; who else but SAO fans are most likely going to watch it? And if you're already a fan of SAO, or are simply watching the film with the mindset of "I'm just gonna turn my brain off and watch for pretty lights", you're pretty likely to find at least something in it that you consider worthwhile.
Does that make Ordinal Scale a good movie? Not in the slightest. But as the Pedantic Romantic observed, fans don't care about SAO's flaws; if it can hook them, they'll come along for the ride.
Maso I mean the same can be said about people who don't like it. I had a friend who just got hook into a group of friends who thought SAO was garbage when I asked him why he didn't have a real answer other then "it just is okay" it's literally pretending you like it to fit in or pretending you hate it to fit in when you honestly don't even know what the hell SAO is.
It has an Average Rating of 4.6 out of 5....
"the power of love burns a lot of calories" XD And I died there
Fire Of Time well I mean.... It kinda does ;P
Curtis Phillips Well. I guess stalking does burn quite some calor--

The power of love is bullshit! The power of swords and violence, that's where the money is.
Guess it's the same as the power of friendship burning a lot of braincells... like in Fairy Tail.
Артур Фролов where have heard that before
I'm a fan of SAO, it's one of my favorite series, and there isn't one word of this video which isn't objectively valid. One of SAO's greatest strengths is throwing away it's own potential.
Grey M. Kraken wait... how does throwing away potential indicate strength?
Cully Coconut either to have space to grow in other aspects/trying something new and either way its either that or its minimizes his losses
This only confuses me more. Throwing away potential is the opposite of development. It is giving up.
Cully Coconut I think it was just a joke
You'd think but... I also think hearing people out is important. Either to establish that they are insane or not.
When I watched the film, I loved the fight scenes. The animation was very enjoyable, but I do admit it was eye candy to fill time, as anything between the fights felt relatively sluggish. What made the experience very enjoyable was paying close attention to details that I thought would be discussed here, and I was not disappointed. My gripes and then some were covered.
But here's an additional one that wasn't covered. We know that Eiji was using some kind of tech to increase his physical prowess and reflexes. But when Kirito LITERALLY RIPS IT OUT OF HIS NECK, how was there not more damage? It seemed like he was only exhausted from that action (after the initial pain), but how was he not subjected to more serious physical symptoms? It had to be connected to his body more intricately than just intercepting and replicating stimulus signals to the brain.
WAAAAAAIIIT! Wait wait wait wait! 3:40. Kirito is BAD at something?! He is not instantly the best player in the universe? Are we sure this is SAO?
Sebastian Abele he did get beaten by yuuki..
Yeah, the one non-cheating person that he loses to and he only loses because the timer runs out just as he's about to take the lead. Really humanizes this character who only just loses a fight to someone who confirmed has more log-time in full dive than him.
Well, to be fair, playtime doesn't mean shit. Take League of Legends as an example. There are people with 1000s of hours played who are in bronze. (Or at least below Diamond), while actually talented people jump to Plat-Diamond within a week or two of playing. Talent is just much, much more important.
It's also been established that much of Kirito's skill comes from his superior ability to analyze, understand and exploit game mechanics, as in him using skill-connect in ALO or being able to shatter oppenent's weapons in SAO. Add his incredible reflexes, which is a defining character trait he possesses and not even unrealistic, and you get a gamer who comes across as OP because he is able to pick things up faster end execute them correctly more easily than average gamers.
As for his skill in Ordinal Scale... he knows the motions of wielding a sword from SAO and ALO, he just isn't very motivated to actually tryhard in a game he doesn't care about at the start. When he starts trying because there is something on the line for him, he becomes more focused and actually gets good. I agree that him being physically fit enough to keep up with Eiji all of a sudden is unnecessary, but I would be inclined to assume a timeskip of about a month where he kills the SAO bosses and trains almost daily in the kendo-dojo. That could get him at least fit enough to last through a 10 min battle and be physically strong and quick enough to be effective.
Michael B P-People get into plat within a few weeks of playing...?
By hacking the game and getting the god weapon he becomes the best player. In the end.
haven't seen the movie, but watched the video. I'm still wondering why he didn't mention the fact that Kirito and his friends could just take the Augma off, beat up that Agie guy, restrain him, and interrogate him. In fact I don't really see why there would be a need to fight any of the boss monsters for any actual plot reason
cuz exoskeleton. The boss monsters are supposed to bring back the fear the sao survivors felt during sao and this activates the memory scan.
The reason for both is obvious in the movie, especially the former where they DID actually try to do that.
R C Then why wait for the player to die in game? Why not just trigger the scan as soon as the player’s Christ Consciousness levels (or whatever the fuck that was) was appropriate?

I wouldn't say this is "salt". That salt term is associated with jealousy.
No it's not. Salt only implies that someone is mad, nothing more.
Okay, that's correct. It's normally used in a condescending manner though and I just don't think MB deserves that.
As someone who enjoyed the first season of SAO while it still had a decent story, I love watching these videos on SAO, he makes very valid points and it's really funny.
Man when he mentioned his SPONSORED Naruto video was copyright claimed, I fucking died. WTF man, it's these corporations and companies actually just have a anti-media department. Are they paying people to actively hurt their own company? Idk, but it's probably the best job in the world if they are.

Being 100% percent honest; most people would not give a damn if someone accessed people's memories in order to reconstruct their dead daughter as an AI.
Most people only start to care when people's memories get erased because of it.

The Augmas are an accessory. If at any point you think you're about to have your memory stolen, you can just take you Augma off. Problem solved. In fact I'm surprised more people don't so it when they lose against a tough boss. They do know what rage-quitting is right? Also, I noticed that when you play Ordinal Scale you can't see the real world anymore, just the AR laid on top of it. Wouldn't that be incredibly dangerous. You could walk into the street and get hit by a car you couldn't see. Lastly, when I say you can't see the real world, that goes for people to. Picture the scene. Kirito vs main bad guy player. Kirito can immediately take his Augma off and become invisible to him, while main bad guy's real body is slashing at the AR air like an idiot.
The Great Mizuti I'm surprised no one did that the second he started actually hurting people.
The Great Mizuti they don't take off augma bcoz they doesn't believe that it was dangerous when kirito explain it to them and they don't actually that real damage they have the heart beat sensor to tell the heart beat is how fast if u see the movie then you know how Klein went to the hospital and eiji don't slash the players when he tried to attack them he beat them up instead and they would make safety first at the street and they choose the safe place to held the boss battle. if you actually watch the movie then what you are saying is not true
The Great Mizuti and it's just a movie
A main character scumbag cheating the system would be interesting, BUT WE CAN'T HAVE THAT NOW.
The Great Mizuti lol yes. would be hilarious if that happened.
Damn, I spend so much time making sure that everything in my fictional worlds makes sense and is consistent within said worlds, to the point where I sometimes overwrite and overexplain things for fear of something not making sense.
Meanwhile, Kawahara is like, "Here's a thing I just made up, accept it. K? K."
Sword Art Online disappoints yet again? Kind of a tradition at this point.
The real pizza boy is this a surprise
*+The real pizza boy* Yeah ... I mean ... what was everyone expecting?
To be disappointed you need expectations
This is probably the best thing SAO's ever made, but that's still not saying a lot.
It's like the uncle that gets drunk in Christmas for the mainstream anime nowadays.
This dead horse is more like a bloody meat carpet at this point.
and yet it keeps getting back up for another round.
"knock me down and I'll just keep getting back up."
Android 19 It's the ultimate shounen main character.
GrilArcher I'm referring to criticism of the franchise as a whole, not just the movie. Explain to me how you missing something so implicitly obvious makes me the idiot.
Of course the series itself is alive and well and will be as long as people enjoy it.
I'm saying that the topic of harsh criticism against the franchise is a dead horse. Barely any new or interesting criticism has been said about it for years.
Sorry, I should have been more specific from the beginning.
just pointing out, it got a 95% rating on Rotten Tomato
and it's not pronounced Eiji (Agee), it's Eiji (Edgy).
Spoiler Alert Below
Cause he's always edgy in the whole series
a 95%? my god.
Maria Machina i know , everyone who likes SAO is just want to see some action and romance shit , they don't care about the story and why the story was even there.
So did ghost busters 2016
your point?

you can have it.
nonono, just keep it.
nooo don't be like that, just, just keep it.
Also there's only like 600 votes, which means even less
HOW DOES THIS MAKE ANY SENSE AS A GAME AND AN ANIME?!
No
I've read fanfiction written by 12 years old that are written better than SAO
Toxic Wolfie183 The Wachowski sisters made a better version of SAO......BACK WHEN THEY WERE BROTHERS!
Graeme Williams the matrix kinda sucks too. The symbolism is made so clear it insults its audience. Beside that, trinity and Neo has no chemestry, the effects have aged horribly, and Mr. Smith doesn't make any sense. Why not just take neo's body when he sees him?
Toxic Wolfie183 hell I've written a better Sao story and I'm in highschool.😕
Toxic Wolfie183 they sure are
Prove it, give me a link
I'm still wondering how did SAO become so popular despite being a way shittier amalgamation of every anime that's airing now?
artistafrustrado especially since another anime came out the same year that was so much better in almost every category (log horizon lmao)
It's because there are a lot of naive gamer weebs who eat it up. The whole premise of an anime being based around VRMMOs sounds really damn cool, but obviously executed terribly.
artistafrustrado I'm guessing it was either marketing,
or the waifu tities. The show itself is crap sure,
but quite a few of the characters look good.
the softcore porn fanart was the best part of SAO XD .
Log Horizon and SAO are like fruits and candys
fruits (LH) are healthy and delicios... but seem boring and no one make marketing on them
candys (SAO) are colorfull, come in bright colorful paper and companys spend millions of dolars in propaganda of how "cool" they are... it will give you decay, but childrens don´t care about that
Kingdom080500 & John Franco exactly! there's Log Horizon & probably other cooler animes than SAO that are gamer pandering bullshit!
timemadscientist Greatscot! even the waifu factor is not that high when you have this entire Musume genre of mediocre anime
kami no Ryu I guess the advertising is strong enough
Sometimes when you down in the dump and feel suicidal don't do it because at least you did not sit through what mothers basement just sat through. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel
The on thing i dont get abou Augma...
How do they get pushed back although they are fighting a virtual boss in real life?
No one gets raped. I died
Except the SAO fans.
@@sulpherbratigh7936 no
I can't wait to hear how people defend this movie.
i think there is one. He has a loner boner for sao and reki i am telling you.
Alonzo Tompkins by googling information for about an hour to ut together as much "scientific" information to try some sort of sense about how the machine could steal memories and also kill people
People sometimes see the entertainment, art and music as a more important factor. If a movie is fun enough to be watched by a person, the. That person most likely overlooked the flaws, or can take it and understands that there are different factors to personal enjoyment. When you can't overlook the flaws, that's when personal enjoyment begins to decrease, which is why people hate on Sword Art Online. It's understandable, but personally, I prefer that you look at this with a more neutral view, instead of making it look like liking Sword Art Online is stupid. At least that's how more and more people think of Sword Art Online. I just don't like the fact that you bash on Sword Art Online when there's worse anime bash on, even if you think Sword Art Online got the popularity it did not deserve.

"Bashing" SAO *IS* the neutral view. SAO is extremely flawed as a show and by industry standards, it's objectively below average.
What you're saying is that you prefer to ignore the flaws because you find it fun. That's not a neutral view, it's biased in favor of what you find fun.
E E That is neutral, because art, animation and music plays an important factor. I understand that SAO has a very flawed story, but only bashing about that is NOT a neutral view. You have to point out both sides, that's a neutral argument. Otherwise, you are just biased and unprofessional. And in my last comment I was just trying to say that people often ignore why people actually the pros of SAO. And I did not say that it was wrong to bash on SAO. I said it was okay to do that, but not disrespectfully and unbiasedly. Hope you get my point
I'm two minutes in but you're really selling me on watching the movie first at this point.
『RISING SUPERSTREAM 』 was the selling point "Hey... Nobody gets raped"?
Vriuox Alacon that was my favorite review
While I agree with nearly everything you said, but the whole Yukki "ghost" thing is because Asuna used the move she got from Yukki before Yukki died. It was a memory ghost, not a real one. Common trope with those things.
Also, it is mentioned that the drones "Wirelessly transmit extra power" during memory scans and that having so many in one place is what will make the scan lethal. Still kind of dumb, but they do mentioned it.
There's a few strange things you didn't get to.
One, what does Kirito, or anyone else that doesn't play for that matter, see when others are playing?
If they are acting irl to fight virtual monsters, then from the POV of a non-player, they must be swinging at air.
Also, since the swords only exist virtually, there wouldn't be any resistance from swords clashing, which would probably have your real hands swing past your own virtual sword. The lack of a tactile feedback would be disorienting.
Two, in a clip of the movie you show, the virtual world overlays a pile of RPG barrels onto a car parked on the street.
What happens when the owner of that car in the real world gets into that car and drives away? Does the game player see someone clip through barrels and they move without animation? What about the other cars in the street?
This brings up 3. Clearly, because we see traffic and people doing ordinary things outside the game, how does this AR gameplay not completely get in the way of normal life? Even with Pokemon GO, people did stupid things like walk into active traffic, crowd up places, and otherwise annoy real people because they were lost in their virtual pets. Pokemon GO isn't anywhere near the level of augmented reality that this game supposedly is. How is normal, everyday life in Japan not so overly obstructed by this videogame that's as popular as a smartphone? People are still working, shopping, driving, and other regular things humans do to survive city living. You'd think an AR game like this would be so disruptive to society, it would be outlawed. At least in the origial SAO game, players are at home playing in their sleep, not disrupting society. They are playing this AR game no different than the virtual game, even though you're interacting with real objects and people doing their shopping. The game this movie depicts would clash so badly with regular life, it would be an absolute menace. You mentioned that one scene was an overlap of Akihabara, but there's no way such a crowded mecha of shopping and business, that still needs to operate normal business btw, could handle crowds of game players fighting in the middle of the road and sidewalks.
Even if you remove the memory wiping, or people making videogame moves while playing an AR game, there's no way this city at minimum, or all of Japan itself, wouldn't outlaw this game or at least restrain it to game playing centers.
Not everyone plays this game, or even if everyone does, they still need to log off once in a while to live real life.
Good points dude! I`d want to see Kawahara`s face if he would read it 😈
MysticJhn shhh,don't use logic
MysticJhn It's basically like Yugioh Zexal where to anyone not with a d-gazer it looks people dueling are two idiots standing apart from each other yelling loudly
I'm just personally curious why Kirito just didn't bring a baseball bat (or wooden sword that he uses in training) with him to that fight. Even if the headset is proding "faux feedback" when they use their virtual swords, Kirito would have an edge when the villain realizes he's still being injured by a physical object.
@Redskingman Maybe, but Yu-Gi-Oh beyond the first series is just an infomercial these days, selling cards. 5Ds tried to be an actual anime, but mostly the YGO anime are there to just sell cards, story be damned. On the other hand, SAO is supposed to be an actual story where writing matters. They aren't selling these AR devices.
It's sad to see all the hurt Sao fans in the comments. If you actually like it then why watch these videos...
Dirk Strider Haven't seen any yet
Dirk Strider Because they can?
To call Geoff out on his horseshit.
I enjoyed sao but wouldn't go as far as to directly protect it like it is the best( it is average to me . Has good concepts but just suck at execution). One thing I have to say is that it is getting really freaking hard to defend or even much less say it has some enjoy ment in it, the more the story goes on.
Dirk Strider because anything that have anything to do with Sao make there dick hard and there pussy all wet and it proves most don't know what a good anime really is
>Makes sense
>SAO
Choose one
Kevin jvl you sure deserve a medal
I could watch Jeff scream at SAO for many hours straight.
