Sword Art Online:
You must be registered for see images



I always wondered why SAO was so popular as I could never get past the few episodes.





So I called up my cousin and she was like:
""it's because the 2 mcs have s** and start a family inside the video game and there's action"





Me:

Is this true? is that why it's popular?



I'd include a quote from what i've been told, is a word for translation. But i'd rather not get banned.

I like it because of the story line, romance, the setting of where the anime takes place (inside a virtual reality mmo), character design, and other things (the action scenes are good, but are honestly rather minimal in comparison to the romance).

But really I like nearly every anime/manga I've ever watched or read.

If someone likes the anime for the reason you said in your post, good for them. That isn't a specific reason as to why I like the anime, but is a part of the story which I do like.

She's a girl.

So that's not why people like SAO? Is it the action then?

You're generalizing...not everyone likes it the same way.

I like the action, but I also like it for the characters, development, the theme, story, gaming, etc.
There are many reasons to like it.

There doesn't have to be a "core" reason to like something. What I mean by that is the action, swords, etc...mainstream stuff basically.

It's not because of that. It's because of how cool the it looks to be in a virtual mmorpg. I hope someday we get to experience this.

I see a very drastic change between your 1st reply and your second one. Glad you stopped being upset.

I didnt have the intetion to generalize, but it just seemed that way to me after what my cousin told me.

I couldn't get into the series as the plot started having holes in them way too soon and inconsistencies started. So I figured people stayed for the romance and action.

I liked the whole Virtual reality angle as well. And the SAO with the guns look intersting.

Does it still have the same MC? I heard he turned into a girl.

You're only going to fail like the rest if you base my emotion, opinion, and ideals based on my posts.
All my post lead directly into debates and arguments and no one has or will defeat me.

That part was to just get SAO off the ground level with the action, then bring romance into it. The second one is different, but the same at a different pace.

When did we start a debate?

You really need to calm down.

He doesn't turn into a girl, he transferred his character over and during the process it messed with his character design. His game avatar became more feminine, but it was still a male avatar and it only happens during gun gale online.

I have a few questions i was gonna ask my cousin, but you seem to know more than her.

Do I have to watch SAO in order to watch the one with sinon?

Do they get stuck in the game again?
