    The moment that broke me was when they skipped half of the tower to the final boss and easily defeated him in the middle of the season. There was no reason why, they just deleted all the tension and worldbuilding up to that point FOR NOTHING.

      Filler is something I dread in anime, it's what makes Dragon Ball, Naruto, and One Piece a challenge to truck through, but SAO is one anime where I belive it would have benefitted GREATLY. They always talk abt important stuff that happened between episodes which left me wondering, plus they have a damn solid supporting cast, like Klein, and Agil are so fun and I wish we had more time with them in some filler episodes.

    Oh god! We're working on that story arc for our abridged series right now, and we didn't fully realized just how stupid that programming scene is! We didn't think it was possible for the writing in this show to get WORSE! Thanks for pointing that out. We mostly thought this arc was shit because it did things like introduce a character only to immediately kill her off (as you said), but also because they spent a truly absurd amount of time on Yulier's exposition, despite the fact that NONE of it is ever mentioned again!

    They went wrong precisely at.... Episode 2. Episode 2 shouldn't have been the first boss. We should have seen Kirito doing his solo run, operating on the fringes, but seeing other characters, even whole groups getting wiped out, while Kirito continues on. We should have SEEN Lisabet's party building up, and then seen it get wiped out. Let us see the Moonlit Black Cats as they start, and how they end up meeting Kirito later on, so that we get a better sense of things, and have time to invest before the deaths start happening. Hell, SHOW us Kirito's memories of the Beta Test, maybe he saw a GM use one of the consoles before, and is actually SEARCHING for one of those consoles that he can access, because there might be a window where he could get an item that might get him out, or at least give an edge to someone to end the death game.
    Giving that extra time, would've also had the effect of slowing Kirito's rise, while we get to see the other characters really get to do some things. So we see Asuna join the Knights of the Blood Oath, and rise in power to where we see her later, we see Laughing Coffin get rolling, we see the rise of Titan's Hand, forces that will come up later in the story. Klein actually gets to do things, as opposed to.... every other scene with Klein in it.

      Aincrad had so much potential, but then they had to stifle it with so much timeskips. Everything from Kirito's strength escalation, the romance plot, character devlopment, and so much more like the stuff you mentioned. It's ridiculous when you cram your titular arc that the show is all about in just a few episodes just so you can make room for another one within the first season.

    • @dragonstryk7280
      @dragonstryk7280 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      @@chidori7234 For one, I would have likely stretched out the time with Sachi, built her up as a character more, have them fully fall in love, and make people believe she's a regular recurring character for a bit before viciously ripping it away. Include her and others in the opening theme standing with Kirito, basically selling that the Black Cats are going to be his regular team, right up until they get wiped, and then altered the opening to show them as black silhouettes behind him.... I may be slightly evil.
      Then we get the "Christmas Arc" over three episodes, where Kirito starts out barely moving (This would echo later in the fight with Kayaba after Asuna's death), until he hears about the possibility of an item that can resurrect a dead player at the end of part I, him on the hunt for the item, with whole guilds moving to secure it first for part II, with Klein and company arriving just before Kirito loses his life to the one guild, and standing in for him so he can go take down the boss, who drops just before we cut to part III. He gets the item, of course, but here, we get an entire episode of the fight, giving us a much needed action sequence where we see one of the first times thus far where Kirito goes all out as a solo player, no holding back to disguise his skill.

    As someone who studied programming in C# CSS and javascript for nearly 10 years, I can confirm what he said in the video, It would be impossible to not only take apart the game's code and stored billions of lines of code in a few seconds, not only that but it would also be impossible to do all that and not cause a single glitch that could potentially break the game killing everyone inside it. Programming is anything but simple.

    SAO was one of my first animes and I loved it at the time. However, the more I watched the more I was like "wtf". I still liked it, cause I thought the premise was cool and was optimistic. Once I got older I was like "yea this show sucked".
    I wish there would be a remake of this show with a different protagonist, kinda like ggo alternative. I like the story of SAO but I dont like how it was told.

    For me, the romance ruined this show. They turned badass Asuna into a damsel in distress, and instead of the tension, fear of dying, and battle with monsters, the show goes on a vacation trip. Then once the two love birds are done that shit, they go back and they get out of this world. Asuna is never badass again. SAO 2 had the same problem. They had a really go start, then half way through the spirit dies off after ANOTHER sexual assault scene. This show needs to pick a direction it wants to go.

    There is actually more wrong with Yui than just that. Yui basically acts as emotional blackmail against Asuna. Asuna is now emotionally tied to Yui as her "Mother" and Kirito was chosen as Yui's "Father". Meaning, If Asuna didn't love Kirito she'd still have to remain with him to play the "Mother" role for Yui. Which allows Kirito to keep his harem. Which, is something a few Harem Anime seem to have done. Introduced a "precious" little girl who sees the Main Character as her 'Father" and ALL the girls in the Harem as her "Mothers". Meaning none of them can leave otherwise it'll break the "precious" little girls heart. Which they can't do.
    Aside from that would Yui acts as a cheat code for Kirito. Kirito has to start back at level 1? No! Just have Yui restore him (pretty much) back to what was at in the last game. She also is something that no other player CAN have: an AI assistant. Kirito pretty much goes through the game just plain cheating.

I watch got 3-4 times to get all the details and y'all can't watch a show for more than 10 minutes without thinking there are plot holes. you gotta finish a show before you can comment on the entire plot. then rewatch​ and make sure your plot holes are actually plot holes before you look like an idiot online.

      Oh my god, you moron. Kayaba said that people would die if their avatars died OR if anyone from the OUTSIDE REMOVED THEIR NERVE GEAR. They also couldn't just cut off the power cause the nerve gear had an internal battery that would also fry your brain if the power is cut off. Now, if people wanted to get the players to the hospital, which they would really need to cause they would need to be provided nutrients from outside otherwise they'd die anyways, it would be almost impossible. So, Kayaba gave them a time lag. After like 15 minutes of running on its internal battery the nervegear would kill the players unless it's connected to a power source within the time limit. LOGGING PEOPLE OUT DOESN'T KILL THEM. That's why Kayaba removed the log out feature in the first place. Kirito could've restored that since they'd actually found a GM console and could access the source code. And didn't YOU see the anime? Kayaba logged out the 6k remaining people after Kirito killed him. HE LOGGED THEM OUT. I'll say this again, logging people out doesn't kill them. If you got to end of the show without knowing this, you have no right to call someone else an idiot.

    • @victorunger

      Kurose Ryōta yes logging out doesn't kill them but it was impossible to log out. the release of the game didn't have it. only the beta did. Any method of quiting the game short of beating or the system logging them out would kill them. yes they survived because they were logged out but that was never an option or planned. so in all intents and purposes logging out of the game didn't exist.

    It's amazing how much the abridged series looked at this, basically said "I agree" and instead of getting rid of it, they made it make sense (for the most part).
    I mean, let's be honest, it still doesn't really explain how Kurt (or actual Kirito for that matter) could save Yui as an in-game item and have it flagged to be "saved to his NervGear" (why is this even a feature unless you want cheating to occur?). But, now knowing that Yui was faking it, it makes sense how he was able to access the data without some or all of it being locked or just plain missing already.
    It also fixes the whole "only two that love each other" problem, helps them develop their character, and much more.

      i have a little soft spot for sao, because it was the first anime my friends had me watch, and i enjoyed it. although.... kirito being able to do *everything* and forced into *anything* is kinda aids. the fairy mmo made some logic, your waifu is trapped by a creep that wanted to uhhh ya know, to her. and of course him being a creep, the ai got his creepiness, with all the sexual assulting. of course, the entirety of all of the fairy world, fucked. them removing the "you could LITTERALLY die" aspects, fucked. THEM MAKING KIRITO STILL GO INTO FULL DIVE TECH, WITH UNREAL PTSD! ABSOLUTELY FUCKED! dude should be living the fucking life, and be charging big money to even touch an mmo, but nope. hes just invited into top secret areas with insane risk, and threat levels, for what seems like free. and of course, no one dies because the plot armor is thicker than a snicker.

    The absolute worst thing about the show is the lack of exploration. There's this ginormous world and we don't see any of it. It's even worse in the fairy arch. Kirito chooses the assassin class and starts defying everyone's beliefs about the class when he uses the magic in intuitive ways, but he only does that twice. It should be called "Wasted Potential Online"

    Here's an idea on how to unfuck SAO a little bit. Maybe instead of some 14 year old kid Kirito is a young man who was a dev for SAO. He's crazy powerful because his character is one of those dev builds with jacked values meant for testing. When evil floaty guy at the beginning traps everyone in the game, he would have a personal reason to go on the quest to stop him cause he defiled the game Kirito worked so hard on.

      They could have done a better job by making it a 12 episode series that focuses just on strictly the original light novel. The things most people find really egregious about it were added in short stories after the initial success of the light novel.

    Because they took one of the greatest premises in fictional history, and fucked it up. They were in an MMO. A game mode that has thousands of quest, monsters, factions, storylines from NPC's, and rich secrets that those dedicated enough to look for can find. And to put all that and the threat of real death?
    We didn't even need to focus on one person, this could focus on several characters. Side stories of people becoming friends after tirals and surviving. A tragic story on how a raid or party group all died just to hammer in how dangerous and real this is. Focusing on characters that were part of a PK guild and see how their demented minds work and also give them characterization. This series could have LITERALLY gone on forever. This was a show, a series, that filler would be WELCOMED because it would have been just as real as the source material.
    Instead with get a Mary Sue fantasy while a guy gets a Harem and saves everyone in the most cliche and utterly boring cast of characters I've ever seen. Completely skip major sections and floors for no apparent reason.

      Log Horizon does dip into or flat out has many of these aspects. It heavily focuses on relationships between the Adventurers and NPCs that have become fully sentient (at least from when it was a game). It goes into many other details other series barely, if ever touch on, and even finds a way to make not dying/the ability to revive still have narrative impact.

      Only the latter half of that is even true. Kirito's only confidence is in his gaming talent. He never had self-esteem in any other department, maybe except kendo and farming salvia.

    people like it because it was fresh ideals of isekai.
    i like it but i start to hate it for a few reasons:
    1. people overrate it. calling it the best anime..
    2. following season can't live up to expectation and people continue to call it the best anime
    3. it is SO CRINGE ALL THE TIME. most people hate it but they really give their best at this anime but it is too damn cringe.
    4. the problem they faced in the anime, as an anime watcher, we really don't feel that intensity, in other anime let's say AOT. we be like "OH fuck..dont die please no." etc
    whereas SAO is, "again... when is kirito gonna come back? where are all the useless adults..?"
    5. plot is too straight forward, give reason to emotionally cripple kirito and then wait for the worse worse worse situation. kirito comes back and save everyone. then you copy paste for every season.
    6. everyone else is pretty useless, adults are useless. kirito is the only guy who will save every game and every problems that adults couldn't.

    • @leadpaintchips9461
      @leadpaintchips9461 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I've read the light novels back when they first made the gun version of the anime (don't care what it's called) and watched this and the Alfheim series. The thing that kind of peaked my interest was the concept of gesture shortcuts, to get around training for literal years to learn a fighting style.
      SAO was uninspiring and bland, but I have a large ability for suspension of disbelief.
      Alfheim, on the other hand, just broke all of the things for me. He obviously didn't understand anything about anything he put into the game. Didn't understand how business' worked, how basic fantasy MMO systems worked, or how basic human beings worked, much less how they work on the internet to fulfill this horrible story he built up.
      No business would touch tech that has proven to kill people in the entertainment industry, much less build another game on the exact engine that trapped people in a death game. He also didn't get that being a CEO for a multi-international company ISN'T a hereditary position.
      In a traditional MMO setting (which is what Alfheim felt like it was supposed to be), there are really two things that show what a great player are. The ability to process a lot of information and make informed decisions about said information, and resource management. The information processing has been covered in another of his videos, but the ability to manage cooldowns, aggro, and whatever your innate resource is (mana, rage, combo points or whatever they use) is a huge part, and Alfheim didn't have ANY resources to manage. At all.
      Everyone in SAO became a tight knit group after they got out, ignoring any real world motivations. I'm not going to get into that can of worms, but instead I'll dive into the one thing that broke my suspension of disbelief harder than anything else.
      Being an MMO player myself, I understand how horrible people can be in these settings. *HE WENT ON FOR A NOT INSIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME ABOUT DEATH TRAINS BEING THE WORST SOCIAL THING PLAYERS CAN DO TO EACH OTHER*. Death trains, for those who don't know, are when a higher level player runs through a low level area aggroing everything they run through going the shortest path, creating this train behind them of things to kill that is way beyond anything that a player of a level the content was created for. Eventually, they stop trying to kill said higher level player and move at crazy speeds back to their original positions.
      Apparently this is worse than calling a female avatar a 'cum guzzling wh0re' for either not stripping down to the basic underwear options and using the dance emote or for doing so. This is actually some of the milder interactions that I've ran across. Death trains are also apparently worse than loot ninja'ing (which is worse in most MMO players eyes).

      I really hate this comparison. SAO and SAO abridged try to do two completely different things. One is trying to be a serious and original fantasy while the other a parody of an already existing fantasy. In other words, one is taking itself completely seriously while the other is mocking something else. They shouldn't be compared in this light since their differences outweigh their similarities in terms of goals.
      I would gladly say SAO abridged is a better parody than SAO is a fantasy, but saying that one is just all around better than the other is blurring a very vivid line.

I believe Miyazaki was referring to these waifu characters like Asuna, Nami, Orihime, Fairy Tail characters, etc.
      Because just think, Miyazaki's movies never objectified its female characters. He knew real people, and wrote relatable characters. Now we get these objectified waifu characters or these unrelatable protagonists *sigh*

    I feel like the biggest problem is that Kirito has NO FLAWS. And that he was just so perfect his own sister fell in love with him? Like seriously
    Edit: Okay y’all I know they are cousins, I watched the show myself, but my point was, he got his own family members to fall for him which is just no

    I was fine with SAO until Alfheim. Too much fairy shit with poor writing.

      SAO is the 5th best current anime, ofc they’re still milking the show for what’s it’s worth and are making a season 3 part 2 this fall

      You’re correct. SAO earns all the big bucks and it’s going to run on forever regardless of its quality
