On the other hand, i'm one of those that frankly don't see why people dislike SAO so much.. People dislike Kirito because he's a Gary Stu when there are many others out there that are worse and don't get this kind of treatment. Same with other characters. The kind of problems people have with them are the same problems they have with similar others, yet, they don't make this kind of fuss. Frankly, i think people are just but hurt that SAO is this famous while some others like.Hack (which is another another kind of anime altogether, despite what people seem to think). [Edit] Just thought about it, but it seems like SAO is one of those franchises that everyone bitching about it, only ever mentions the anime... Another series i think this happens is Fate... |

afraid that is the case more or less,and after mother's rosario ,it a given now. personally i wouldnt have minded if it had ended in fairy dance and even more so if he ended up in a romantic relationship with suguha instead of asuna, but the author definitely made fans happy by not going down the oreimo route. unfortunately after phantom bullet, it seems the series is going down the toaru no majustu index route where every new girl of the series have a romantic interest in him. though the real reason why there is much hate for kirito is he's more or less a gary stu character which some people dont like. the only good thing is that he's not oblivious like some male gary stu characters.the other closest male gary stu character that's not oblivious as well is shiro of log horizon.(except when it comes to girls in his life) hopefully this new arc will make some people not dislike him more,especially if this arc is similar to mother's rosario , but if the author does do the same formula and make him into a male character in a psuedo harem,the hate is gonna increase tenfold. |

Quick question: By "new arc" do you mean Alicization or the one after that? |

I'm gonna be honest and say that I've only seen bits and pieces of the first anime series and I'm saying this in complete ignorance, but you'd think after their first trip into a virtual video game world where things turned out to be quite life threatening (and you would die in real life if you died in the game), that they'd put the goddamn video games down and stay the hell away and live a peaceful life away from the dangers and consequences of said video game world. However, I guess for them to do that then we wouldn't have a series and an excuse for the creator to keep milking it if it's making him or her money. I'm just being honest guys.

Is more or less to say that in beginning of airplane history after the first deadly accidents humans should stay way from the sky and keep their feet on the ground because is safer. Just because one game turned deadly that don't mean all the next games will turn deadly. That's why they develop a new model of NerveGear with safety features so no dead happen again. About the part of milking for money, this new Arc is the first write as a LN first. All the arcs until now were wrote as a free WebNovel before the publisher decided to make a Light Novel out of them because of the success of the other work of this author, Accel World. |

Anyways, what are people even discussing in this thread? The largest arc in the series is over, having ended with a big thank you listing everyone he met, and a page of "And You", like some old-school video game credits. Of course, there will also be a new arc next year, but it's not like no one saw that coming with how Dengeki has milked this cow, and practically out-sourced the story to other authors. Letting the series end now would mean an end to the money. |

Yea I know, like I said I was just giving an obvious analysis of the situation, but I guess the characters just have to be put into a virtual world, otherwise there wouldn't be a reason for the series to exist if the characters decided to just live the rest of their lives normally without going to a virtual RPG-like gaming world. |

It is tho. People kept using planes because they saw that with proper development they could be extremely useful and people from sao the used VR tech might have (as seen in mother's rosario and alicization aka the good and the bad side VR) so they kept using it. PS:In the 7th volume (Mother's Rosario) i believe, Kirito states that he want's to see VR tec's endgame. Quitting VR related stuff altogether goes against that, doesn't it? |

The only real issue that allowed the incident to occur was mostly because the perpetrator was the same man who designed and coded the hardware and knows how to bypass the safeties.
Subsequently made hardware had basically massively worse specs in terms of realism so as to avoid having lethal capabilities at all. It shouldn't be possible to die from those, so they're generally fine with it. Alicization notwithstanding but that's really its own thing. |

*movie trailer voice* "IN A WORLD where government approval and reverse-engineering and large-scale industrial design by large teams of people apparently don't exist for some reason..." |
