Sword Art Online II (TV).

I get the feeling we'd see a Progressive adaptation before an Alicization one.

Which I would be all in favor for. Progressive is fantastic so far.

As showed, SAO is better when Leafa and Sinon are the main characters. They're better-written. I don't hate Kirito at all, but he's pretty bland.

The fleshed-out original arc is so much better than Reki's first edition. So much more of the original SAO world is explored, as well as Asuna's own transformation into a soldier.

Fixed for you.

Leafa has nothing to her personality that isn't better done elsewhere.

Sinon is still my favorite SAO character, but I don't think she's capable of carrying an entire arc.

... And how dare you insult Leafa. You people just don't understand her or her deep emotions and I pity you all for it.

Leafa has nothing to her personality that isn't better done elsewhere.

I fail to see how this same statement doesn't also apply to Asuna. Or how it being done better elsewhere somehow makes it worthless.

Leafa/Suguha is the best heroine because she has the best bewbs.

...

Consider that my intellectual contribution to the thread for the day.

Asuna is more of a natural leader. She's more self-driven. She's more empathetic. In essence she's the one that ties everyone together, not Kirito.

She's also not that relatable, particularly in the Aincrad arc where she's little more than Kirito's perfect girlfriend.

I'm not as up on SAO II as some here, but I thought that Suguha was Kirito's cousin, not his sister? It's just that they have a brother-sister like relationship - do I have that wrong?

She's hardly perfect, though it seems like that's the go-to criticism for lack of anything better, I suppose.

Leafa isn't all that charismatic, or strong, or even smart. Her only role in this series was she was once in love with her own brother during the most hated arc SAO will ever have.

She just sort of exists now. I don't think Reki has any idea what to do with her, like Lizabeth and Silica.

No, you're right. Doesn't make it any less incest-y.
