I kinda dislike how everyone at Random Curiosity hates on the anime with the blogger only talking about the negative aspects. But despite that nothing can change my opinion that invincible hero protagonists are cool and SAO is a well done story.Well, there's a reason they hate on it. I'll admit it's unfair to only focus on the negatives since SAO had good points, but it had glaring flaws too (more so in the latter half). Plot was shitty in ALO, Asuna didn't do jack, the antagonist was goofy and totally unbelievable as a human being, Yui was Deus Ex Machina: the character, and Kirito's a Gary Stu. You said you like Gary Stus, which is fine, but in the world of good writing, having a main character that you can relate to, that has flaws, is generally better.
Now, SAO wasn't all bad; it had good visuals and battles. The SAO universe was intriguing. I won't let it be said that it had a well done story though (at least with the anime).
The thing is, Asuna was not actually a main character in ALO, Suguha was.
Also a main character doesn't have to be one we can relate to, it's relaxing to read about someone who doesn't have severe self esteem problems, dumb as a brick, or dense like tungsten. Like Tatsuya from Mahouka Koukousei, he's basically invincible and is basically a super genius. The author practically brags how awesome he's suppose to be and it doesn't really come off as corny or anything.

So I've just watched the last episode today.
Overall, it's a slighty better-than-good anime to watch in my opinion, despite some of the negative comments that are spreading around the net. If season 2 does come out then I would look forward to watching it.

Possibly a spoiler if someone hasn't watched the anime by this time. Spoiler:
It's a complication where male players felt seriously conflicted not having their thing in the game. Hell, I'd be.

Yeah, I was just wondering if there was any more to that. Is it just that it feels weird?
I have lost feeling there for about a week due to surgery and pain meds. Personally though I wouldn't see the big deal...
Idk, I guess I was just hoping there was more. It has just been bothering me for multiple months now.
Personally want to see players attempting to trick the system into thinking they are a different gender... lol

Wow, i debated on whether to watch this series or not and decided to give it a try. It was surprisingly amazing since i thought the main character was gonna be a nerdy, gamer type and he wasn't. Then it got to the romantic part i hadn't been warned about (since i'm not exactly a fan of anime/manga romance unless it's well done) but it was really lovely and sweet rather than being gross and cheesy. In the end it became one of my favourite animes since the soundtrack and characters are all beautiful.

Anyone know if they plan on making a third season? Or are there only 2 books to base it off of?

If it's running on the same amount of episodes (25) and using the same formula from the first season, then it will probably cover "Phantom Bullet","Mother Rosario", and probably the last ALO sidestory, "Caliber".

Finished watching. It's a good thing I didn't watched it when it is still airing, each episode is a cliffhanger..
Overall it's a great anime though not great as its light novel counterpart.. I liked it. I'm glad to see my Asuna in the end... Kirito you lucky bastard..

I wonder if SAO II is going to be one season only. I can see them stretching out GGO to the point where it might fit int 24/25 episodes but I definitely don't see them squishing Alicitization into 12 or 13 (Hell the web novels have been taken down so the source material isn't even finished with it yet).
So far I'm not too happy about the design they thought for Kirito GGO, it makes him look too much like a babe IMHO.
Another thing they could do is put in the Caliber SS and Mother's Rosario as filler I guess, since MR is pretty much fanservice at its best.
