Is there an anime that is similar to SAO in the aspect where the MC and its love interest are fighting alongside each other and actually develop feelings in a not rushed way?
Like I want show with action as its main genre, but also good romance. Any good reccomendations? Ones that comes to mind is Code Geass and another is like cyberpunk edgerunner.
Did Heathcliff never once want kirito until he had to basically solo a floor boss but yet he wanted asuna from the start I know asuna is a great commander and all, and she is the one who broke up the party to join but still was it ever stated he asked kirito to join
As y'all know, AGGO is the spin off of SAO, what if AGGO was the main series, also meaning that it would be the death game?
Hi everyone! :) New to this subreddit so apologies if this is not an appropriate post. Please let me know and I will fix it!
I will be visiting Japan this summer and found out Yuki Kajiura (composed many anime OSTs including SAO :D) is on tour while I am in Japan!
Unfortunately, the main way to get concert tickets in Japan is through a lottery system... and I wanted to see her so much that I applied for extra tickets on multiple days for a better chance of winning. Well, I ended up winning and have 2 extra concert tickets.
Just wanted to reach out here and see if anyone was interested in attending her concert. This is for 6/29 in Osaka. I would cry happy tears hearing Swordland in person!!!
If SAO would have done a full season or more of just Aincrad would we have the debate in the Anime community of it being or not being an Isekai?
The gang plays Content Warning, what shenanigans ensue?
So is anyone gonna ask the question as to why Alice was given a body in the real world outside of underworld but Yui who’s been claimed as Kirito and Asuna’s daughter still doesn’t have one 😑
Google wasn't any help with this so I thought to ask on here
Is Re: Hollow just a remake? Or it is own different game?
Has anybody seen this video this guy states many incorrect things need to debunk it all
I need a clip of it for something but I can’t seem to find it on google. I would appreciate the help please.
So like, in the movie the rank 2 guy has a book of all the details that happened in Old Aincrad. This is going to sound dumb. But is that a real book? I’d truly like to know. Cuz a full detailed book of the 2 years that they spent in there would be dope. Yes I know the mangas are a thing. But that book would be dope too, don’t ya think??? I reckon everyone here knows how massive this anime could have truly been. How many episodes they really could have had.
Started watching recently, the first ep was amazing and it really drew me in, but it feels like the show's gone off the rails since. There's a different girl every other episode who sorta falls for Kirito, which is annoying but I brushed it aside but the 8th ep really threw me off.
It started with the weird chest grab scene, no idea why that was required, and then Asuna, who's supposed to be a really powerful player, just hides behind Kirito?? And then he "fought for her"? What kinda 1900s thing is this? And Asuna dismissed Kuradeel at the end, why couldn't she just do that earlier?
Why does the strong, independent girl have to hide behind someone else? Is this just a one off or are girls just portrayed like this throughout the series?
So im wondering is there a point to leveling all wifus and bros? Does leveling up Asuna and gang increase the assault team strength? Is there really a point or is it just extra grinding?
I know that when you kill at least five players your cursor turns red, how long though?
Did we got something about early Aincrad? When it wasn't a death game yet, neither released for all.
Some side-story about a 13~14yo Kirito just vibing in BETA SAO
Luckily, I got to join the BETA for Dead Maze (a flash-based zombie survival game) back in 2018. Most of people were very kind and reliable; after revisiting those memories, i asked myself if Kirigaya felt the same, helping and being helped in that mysterious place
What if the gang came together and decided to run some top tier matches on war thunder?
The gang come togther to play a round of Lethal Company, what hijinx's ensue?
