@@tommycastro9424 it's not just in Asia even in Germany and Albama ( in the U.S ) and many other countries they don't consider cousins as brothers/ sisters it's just different cultures
To be fair, in Japan it is not illegal by any means to have a relationship/marry someone in family as close as first cousins. In fact it's not that harshly frowned upon either like it is in other countries. However, there has been a decline of marriages of such relationships in Japan over time.
You know, the previous Prime Minister of Japan, Naoto Kan, is married to his first cousin. He was the PM from 2009-2012, who had to resign in disgrace after the 2011 Fukushima earthquake/tsunami/nuclear reactor meltdown disaster. Just to give you an idea of the most prominent example of this kind of cousin marriage. (He and his cousin kept their relationship a secret until they announced to their family they were getting married. The whole family was disgusted with them.)
Well in southern India there is no concept of cousins...ur father's brother's & ur mother's sister's sons & daughters are all also brother & sister to u...but if it is the other way ur father's sister's & mother's brother's son & daughters are cousins and can marry each other...but this custom been declining steadily for past decade or two...yet I still go & attend these kind of marriages once in while in rural areas of India....main reason for this to happen because of keeping a hold of land & other properties going out of family...
@@passionsquietrage no it's not illegal in many many many countries. . It normal and not considered incest in many cultures and religions around the world.. seriously people do some research and study about the world around you a little.. it is acceptable to love and marry your cousin in Japan and other many countries..
Yes, true, they didn't have material but I also feel that it didn't have to have so many time skips on the anime or original work. Bringing the creator to make more little storylines, even if more of the independent episodes type would be interesting. Bc I mean, 2 years in 14 episodes is a bit too fast no matter how you look at it.
@Drew Taylor they made 14 episodes. They could have made the 6 episodes leading up to the heathcliff fight instead of all the time skip. For example kirito meets a guy early in the game that betrays him and kirito has to watch him die. And then there was him having to deal with the moonlit black cats dying, asuna was the person that helped kirito get back on his feet. And then there was when he was with Lisbeth where liz was actually the first person to see kirito use dual wielding, stuff like that could have easily been like 3 maybe 4 episodes at the very least they could have made season 1 20 episodes.
I find it quite interesting that, despite have atrophied muscles, he can fight pretty effectively against someone who trains themselves to death and can compete on a national level. People seem to forget that he actually has a pretty high skill level, and he wasn’t just relying on his special in game abilities
Lol oh come on! Hah what a load of malarkey! Look, I'll grant that it's a niche... What's the word for sexual fantasies? Role play, I guess? Or taboo. Point is, whatever works for a person, no judgement. Lol we all have kinks, so no big deal. But I highly doubt it's a legitimately common occurrence in Japan or any other part of the world. There may be fringe cases, but I genuinely think it's almost exclusively isolated to porn. Hah but what do I know?

They talk about the reason Kirito and Asuna survived in the extra edition episode. The episode was basically a review of the first arc and the 2nd arc your currently delving into. During that it was revealed Kiaba might have stepped in as a gift for beating the game
Zeph Trash or not she should still watched. There is still some moments in those seasons that are good reaction worthy. Especially things like the last battle in the SAO movie, and a few other moments.
S3>Movie>First half of S1>First half of S2>S2 Mini-arc>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Second half of S2 (overrated garbage)>Second half of S1.
I love SAO but this season was a bit weak for me. Mostly because I didn't like how they portrayed Asuna in this way. I get what they were going for but still. I did enjoy Sugu's and Kirito's character development.
I feel like relationships in Japan especially tend to blur the lines when it comes to family interaction of a romantic nature. Obviously it’s still no doubt rare in this decade to see cousins freely “in love” with each other, but it’s no more rare than couples being put together as part of a business transaction. Duty, honour, prosperity, family, love....in that order.
"I AM SO MAD!" I felt the exact same after that scene...even watching your reaction to it was difficult because that scene...ugggh just made me so mad. That scene made me, for the first time, properly despise an anime character to the point I wanted to reach out and strangle the bastard with my bare hands...not even SHOU FREAKING TUCKER made me feel that way and look what he did! And for a long time, there was no other character in any anime I came to watch who I hated more than this bastard...until I saw Rising of the Shield Hero
Asuna was arranged into marrying that rich childish predator, and I don't think her father knew that, at least I hope not, unless if it really was a real reason.
the thing is that in japan if you and you're cousing is in love it is legal in japan to marrie and be whit them so thats why sugu was a little happy when she found out that they wherent brother/sister.
It's the same in the uk you just have to respect how they're race in there countries because, it's doesn't mean it's wrong because it's wrong in your country
Makeup looks nice in this one! Commented at the beginning so haven’t seen anything yet, totally agree in my opinion it was what was supposed to be the end of season one. I think most people think that way 🤔. Ok shows about to start! ☺️
One of the best feelings in anime is when there's a new OP and it's good... and conversely, one of the worst feelings is when there's a new OP and you don't care for it as much. It is generally accepted that the quality of OPs goes, uh, down as the series progresses.
she does and historically Japan has not had any real problem with incest -- in fact, clans would traditionally encourage relationships among cousins (or second cousins) to perpetuate family dynasties. If a father was widowed, he would often marry his daughter. Practices like this continued well into the 20th century, especially in very traditional rural families. Indeed, incestuous relationships were so common in olden days -- between siblings, cousins, aunts/nephews, uncles/nieces and the like, that genetics experts say this has introduced all sorts of problems into Japan's DNA.
I always wonder why so many people are so terrified of spoilers. It's a waste. In many cases, anime openings are just showing off, and are an important element that reinforces the theme of the anime. Very little is lost by doing so. I believe that watching the production in the order prepared by the producer is the best way to understand the production intention and enjoy it more.
“Feels like she loves him like more than a cousin.” Oh Suzy, your watching series like Naruto, SAO, and Demon Slayer (all tame in the "weird" aspect at least). You haven't even scratched the surface of the weirder anime that are out there, lol.
Suzy in Japan and many places on world there's no taboo or legal restrictions of a romantic relationship between cousin in fact there's a lot of anime and other media that speak about it without any problems.
So, I struggled with the "cousin" thing at first too so I did a little research. Apparently is most cultures, cousins is either not very taboo and in some cases it is normal. But in more western cultures it is very taboo. The reason it is important that she is related is because it tells a story where he sees her as a sister and she sees him as much more... also, because they are "like brother and sister" he cant just ignore her and they HAVE to address the issue.... This is why I very much like how this story unfolds... I just put the cousin thing way back in my mind because it is a great story
20:13 Suzy, it's not like that, Suguha doesn't have crush on her cousin, you see as Kirito is actively making an effort to rebuild the friendship he once had with his cousin, Suguha on the other hand is just confused on what they're relationship was and how she should feel towards him. They obviously didn't open up and talked about what happened all those years when they had stopped interacting with each other when he found out that she isn't his sister.
Actually, Some countries include Japan allow to marry your cousin. And some sister and brother come together even they are real brother and sister. That is one of the difference between culture. That's why Yosuga no Sora comes. It is a famous animation which describe the love between Twins.
@suzy lu in japan some ppl (even if its weird) date cousins or step siblings cause they r not related by blood directly, even they can marry XD some ppl do that
In Japan, romance between 1st cousins isn't as stigmatized as it is here in the West. So that's why you'll see romantic subplots in anime that would creepy Americans like myself out.
THEY ARE NOT RELATED! Everyone seems to thinks they are related but they are not. The mom said “he found out I wasn’t his real mother and wanted to know who his real parents are and I was so shocked I didn’t know what to say so I TOLD HIM my big sister and her husband were his parents and that you two were cousins.” But her sister and her husband are not the real parents she just said that because she didn’t know what else to say
For those who didn’t know, it is safe for first cousins to marry and have kids and while not common it is not at all uncommon, especially in history. It is not incest. However, in the modern U.S., their is a current stigma against marrying that close, and it is illegal in some states.
I’ve spoken to a lot of people who really don’t vibe with Suguha’s love interest in Kazuto. Obviously incest is a societal taboo, and I get why it makes people uncomfortable. That being said, I honestly think the character trait makes Suguha all the more interesting. Her relationship with Kazuto is super unusual. Cousins who were raised as siblings, but only kind of. They weren’t super close, but they didn’t hate each other. And to top it all off, Kazuto went away for 2 years while he was in SAO. I’ve also learned to appreciate certain inherent character traits. Take Sakura Haruno as an example from Naruto. Even though Sasuke is kind of a douche bag, and even a traitor to his team and village, she can’t not be in love with him. It’s an inherent quality that Sakura probably couldn’t change even if she wanted to. The same is true of Suguha with regard to Kazuto. She can’t help what she feels about him, and it creates a pretty interesting plot as she struggles with that emotion and figuring out how to move forward.

To my knowledge (some of this may be wrong, I haven't watched this since like 2013) Kirito died but because of the stone he gave klein he was revived, Asuna is alive because of the promise kirito forced kiyaba to accept.

They obviously didn't open up and talked about what happened all those years when they had stopped interacting with each other when he found out that she isn't his sister.
i already watch Sword Art Online all season right now i watch Sword Art Online Alicization War Of Underworld.
Getting up at 7:15 in the morning is normal bc the sun rises earlier in japan. I think thw sun rises at 4 or 5 am there.
I hope you don't wait long to watch the next episode, the next episode is really good😁
Welllll.... In _some_ cultures cousin-cousin marriage is quite normal.. Actually even encouraged over "normal" marriage..sooo yea
In Japan marrying your cousin isn't even frowned upon it's a weird cultural thing.
Actually, Some countries include Japan allow to marry your cousin. And some sister and brother come together even they are real brother and sister. That is one of the difference between culture. That's why Yosuga no Sora comes. It is a famous animation which describe the love between Twins.
And I can relate to how Kirito feels
from what i remember it's not illegal to have a relationship/marriage with your cousin in japan so i guess that's why that concept is in anime a lot
Sao is so nice
That
@suzy lu in japan some ppl (even if its weird) date cousins or step siblings cause they r not related by blood directly, even they can marry XD some ppl do that
10:30 why this guy voice sounds so familiar... The way he talks similar to an npc in Skyrim
In Japan, romance between 1st cousins isn't as stigmatized as it is here in the West. So that's why you'll see romantic subplots in anime that would creepy Americans like myself out.
Yes I’m early 🙌. Loving sao reactions
THEY ARE NOT RELATED! Everyone seems to thinks they are related but they are not. The mom said “he found out I wasn’t his real mother and wanted to know who his real parents are and I was so shocked I didn’t know what to say so I TOLD HIM my big sister and her husband were his parents and that you two were cousins.” But her sister and her husband are not the real parents she just said that because she didn’t know what else to say
Read last episodes comments the reason for them both being alive is explained there, it won't explain it in the anime
Ughhh I hope you upload this once every day. I enjoy them and look forward go your videos.
When she said *thats nice* I was like....ur not gonna be thinking that 4 long
For those who didn’t know, it is safe for first cousins to marry and have kids and while not common it is not at all uncommon, especially in history. It is not incest. However, in the modern U.S., their is a current stigma against marrying that close, and it is illegal in some states.
The new intro song might be so so, but I liked that Luna Haruna track in the end credits.
I’ve spoken to a lot of people who really don’t vibe with Suguha’s love interest in Kazuto. Obviously incest is a societal taboo, and I get why it makes people uncomfortable. That being said, I honestly think the character trait makes Suguha all the more interesting. Her relationship with Kazuto is super unusual. Cousins who were raised as siblings, but only kind of. They weren’t super close, but they didn’t hate each other. And to top it all off, Kazuto went away for 2 years while he was in SAO. I’ve also learned to appreciate certain inherent character traits. Take Sakura Haruno as an example from Naruto. Even though Sasuke is kind of a douche bag, and even a traitor to his team and village, she can’t not be in love with him. It’s an inherent quality that Sakura probably couldn’t change even if she wanted to. The same is true of Suguha with regard to Kazuto. She can’t help what she feels about him, and it creates a pretty interesting plot as she struggles with that emotion and figuring out how to move forward.
Yes, so happy to see more SAO from you!
I don't think I've ever been this early, wow.
"Who the heck gets up 7:15 in the morning" People who have to work for a living...for show people who have nightmares and wake up because of it? Just some choices =)
To my knowledge (some of this may be wrong, I haven't watched this since like 2013) Kirito died but because of the stone he gave klein he was revived, Asuna is alive because of the promise kirito forced kiyaba to accept.
