how often do predators eat predators then?

I don't think that's ever really explored

The first arc is meh, the second is fucking epic and the third is INCREDIBLE

please stop talking about it

no

I can’t puke anymore

then watch the show

Rusp there is sex too

interracial sex

This'll help with my grad school applications

open for second image

Typhoon PogChamp

only like 4 of these characters even show up this arc

sao spoiler btw

is that alice?

Yes

thats stupid

Kirito x Asuna is such a dumb romance

tbh, every girl makes more sense to bang Kirito than Asuna does

even Yui and Suguha?

Yui doesn't really count I guess

Kirito couldn't give less of a shit about Asuna, in every chapter that they're together, post-Aincrad

sure he saves her a ton

but when they're both just together... he seems like he'd rather be anywhere but there

tbh, I hope the end game is Kirito merging all the girls souls together

Asuna, Alice, Sinon, Sugu, etc.

he replicates his arclight and marries each of them with separate clones

Hell, even through LLENN and gang into the mix

I think that's more likely

appak

but I hope it goes the soul merging route

mostly because I think thematically, it works better

what even is his arc at this point?

there's no end to end at

honestly, I think Alicization is really good

and I think you have to read into what the fuck Kirito even wants at this point

he didn't even react to realizing he was trapped in yet another video game

in the small bits that are pre-Rising

it's clear he isn't happy in the real world, anime doesn't really portray it well

not even that he misses his video game powers

just that the world is too "mudane", nothing excites him

even though that's BS

so a happy ending for him is getting trapped in a world and his real body dying

as there's an international war he's literally in the middle of an arms race

yeah isn't this arc US vs gamers?

gee Leg, if only there was someone who that had already happened to

the concept of "the seed" is also never really re-explained well at the start of aliceization

whether or not all the fluctlight soul crap, is built on top of this core, like all the other VRMMOs were

Alicization tied in the movie randomly so i doubt that is the biggest thing they forgot to explain

The movie is a dumb, full stop

the movie is awful

every concept is illogical and impossible

including Asuna's nipple

lol

I know I'll be let down by SAO in the end

but I'm so impressed by where it's come

from decent contest LN, to fanfiction, to sprawling high-concept 30 volume series

it was a contest submission?

really, it is the urealms live of anime if you think about it

yes, VOL 1 (first half of Aincrad) was a contest entry

so the good part

that was disqualified for being too long or something iirc

so the authour just wrote WN tier fanfiction for a while

until it got picked up officially
