SWO, I was expecting quite a bit from the hype generated, but as I watched it, I realized how offtrack the pacing was. The plot often jumped between segments, the protagonist starting in a low-level group getting massacred to the protagonist jumping into an elite group at the vanguard of the videogame. There are no in-between segments, even though it clearly needed it.

At least with Attack on Titan, we have a steady pacing, the animation is gorgeous, and we have a clear, present danger in which many terrible things could happen. In a typical Shounin, everything gets better if you just believe in yourself hard enough. AoT threw that out of the window when people brought that up and they promptly got eaten.

AoT, I haven't heard a lot of die hard love for SAO but those who do really like it but AoT so many people say it's the greatest thing ever. So for that reason I say AoT.

Pretty much every mainstream anime is overrated. But since that word has become both incorrectly and overused I suppose I should say they are not as good as it is implied to be.

AoT's hype annoyed me after a while so I would say that was more overrated. It was much better than SAO though.

Most people who hype SAO are 12 year olds on the internet. A lot of other people agree that it's bad.

SAO cuz that shit was straight garbage. AoT wasn't even that bad, plus it had a solid soundtrack.

SAO...the first 14 episodes were phenomenal, after Krito and Asuna decided to stop fighting and "buy" a house it got so boring. AOT is a LITTLE overrated...we need more Levi!

On one end you have SAO, which is about as quality as a plastic butter knife, on the other end you have AoT, which is fellated way more than SAO is, but actually has some redeemable qualities. Based on that, I'm going with SAO being the more overrated of the two, since there really isn't anything captivating, good or even slightly decent about it. Making it clear that AoT is light-years away from reaching the hype behind it though.

AoT more overrated. They like everywhere on FB and twitter.

SAO; however, SAO is receiving its appropriate reception consensus nowadays.
AoT isn't overrated, but prepare for the hype train that will ram you later in the year.
