I also started that recently. I only made it to episode two so far. It's rated really well on MAL, but I think it's meh so far.

That's where I'm at too

On another note, I powered through Akame Ga Kill yesterday, I throughly enjoy that series. A bit too much fan service, but it's still a really garbage story.

fixed.
the main plot is still really loose and has been going nowhere. The few likable characters are already except a couple; cant hardly stand the other characters.

I dont see what was wrong with the last episode of SAO to trigger the rage besides the fact that its filler.

I can see where you're coming from with the Akame Ga Kill story. I guess I enjoy a show that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's something you can have fun with while watching it. On the other hand, SAO is just annoying me because it really is taking itself too seriously. It lost it's sense of creativity and the story just seems extremely predictable. The fact that no major events happened in that last battle and that everyone just walked away unscathed is just what bothers me. Of course I'm going to continue watching it, I just don't get the same sense of excitement I used to have. Those past 3 episodes were really just nothing but fillers.

trashes Akame ga Kill, doesn't understand why SAO induces rage with every obvious **** up.

Seems legit.

the problem with sao is most of it is ****.

the last episode in the excailber arc was okay, the only big downfall was the fight with Thrym was too short. Nothing major should of happened in filler arcs, so that's something you should of been complaining about.

Aincrad was about the life of Kirito and his adventure for a harem, Second part was about Asunas life of uselessness, GGO was about Sinon joining the harem and becoming the only non useless girl around. Excaliber was about nothing of importance except "i dun went gme 2 chenge kirito pls sve it"

Akame ga Kill is a better show in every aspect. I only wish they were able to flesh out the characters more, but the large cast is needed for what they want to do.

Damn guys, it's almost if what people find enjoyable in shows is entirely subjective to their own individual tastes! Crazy talk, right?

Damn man, it's almost like this entire forum was meant to talk about series, what you find good and/or bad about them, and argue why A is better than B! Some insane **** if you ask me.

I know right! It's almost as if we can invalidate everyone else's opinions and dismiss them based off of a single post!

Writing this again cuz internet deleted it all. Summarized version.
This had probably been said multiple of times now,

I found SAO somewhat enjoyable for what it was worth, however I was hugely disapointed by the way they had executed what was a could've been masterful plot. Having a series about being trapped in a game gave a ton of freedom and an amazing way to build up a world. You can show the interactions and emotions of the players within this world, however the way SAO did it was by pretty much putting it as a side point and focus on the MC finding and saving a bunch of girls that had barely any development. It felt that the action for most of SAO was just a bonus feature to emphasize the cliche and generic romance and witty drama (I know drama and Romance - source: the massive amount of Romantic Drama series I've seen). That wasted such a good opportunity to follow a more generic route in order to sell with all those girls, even though that's basically what 70% of anime is now.

The second problem is that it was not consistent. With the time skips and the change of arcs each season. It really chews out the original concept that it started with just to have the MC gain more girls and become protected by the millions of plot holes and plot armor. For what it was worth, the popularity never got to me, everything about it could've been done better. For the characters which seems to be the biggest selling point, Kirito who has been isolated before SAO becoming some badass character being able to converse with all the girls, is basically like the comment a long time ago about No Game No Life and how could these NEETs possibly converse with others. It doesn't make sense for a character like Kirito to be able to get all the girls, but it happened anyways, cause Plot Holes and everyone likes that lone wolf dressed in all black. Asuna was okay until she became another Tsundere, the other three girls are just there and Sinon had the best character development and shines the most out of the rest of them.

Akame ga Kill is way better then SAO in everyway, except for character development, since they basically want to remove all the characters that gets any. Story is better, more unique non-run off the mill characters and their executions for fighting scenes are far surperior instead of just hack and slash that SAO has.

Even with the characters death, it's still more development than most of SAO.

To be fair to the author of SAO, he is redoing the entire first two novels in a manga that is going through all 100 floors of Aincrad

Who else is enjoying akame ga kill?!

Rockson 11-04-2014 12:16 AM

I think akame ga kill is great! Aside from that I'm also watching parasyte, anyone else? Only like 5 episodes but it's pretty good. One of my favorites right now is Your Lie in April.
