Abyssal Monkey Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 I never really understood the hate on casual games in general, be it league of legends or hearthstone. League died long before I actually ever played for me. The game is inherently designed in such a way that it promotes a toxic environment to develop. Also, I don't think people hate those games because they are 'casual', they hate them because apparently hating popular things is cool. Take a look at anything popular ever in the past decade. I can raise Sword Art Online as the most obviously apparent example. Confession: I'm learning Japanese because I'm running out of hentai to read. Quote

People don't hate SOA because it's popular but because it has a emotionless wish fulfillment protag, a lame love interest who goes from badass fighter to tsundere waifu and then princess peach for no reason, dumb harem undertones and a second half so bad I can't believe I actually finished it Oh and the fucking elf villain really now Quote

That makes you the minority. 99% of the people I've talked to don't have a justification. Quote
TexasDice Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Thank god I have no interest in SAO genre-wise. Because I don't want to be a part of this fucking argument. Quote
Zodai Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 SAO started out well, but the later aspects of the story followed a different route than what was promised early on. You don't hear people complaining about Danmachi despite them being so similar, because Danmachi was both up-front about it was from the getgo and executed on it strongly. Personally SAO is good for the first three episodes, then maybe you can watch to 12 if you're interested further. Any more than that though could be perhaps considered a waste. Quote

The most frustrating thing about SAO is that I can't dismiss it as plainly 'bad' since it has its moments of brilliance (especially in the first half of the first season, with for example the interesting 'if you die, it's all over' atmosphere which is sadly not explored as much as it should have been), the AMAZING animation and music and some really interesting side characters like Asuna (before they turn her into a generic tsundere waifu, anyways).

I don't mind DanMachi as much since the protag is not 'all powerful' and can't break the game (oh my god SAO, why). On the other hand, Hestia is probably as annoying as Asuna. Quote

Hanako Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 The animation was pretty good, though, and the voice acting was pretty decent, from what I can remember, but that was about it. Sorry I laughed xD I mean the seiyuu always do good work x) At least it's always better than the adaptation xp Confession : oddly enough I don't feel like I'll like the uni even though it's to learn jp Quote

Zebhra Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 First part of first season was good, and the shouldv used original theme more (locked in game with a possibility of death) , but in the end they fucked up and we got elfs, guns and stuff.
