Just trying to get this hype out of my system without pissing off everyone in the skype chat anymore than I have... Pretty much I just kept watching SAO (watched some episodes multiple times, all episodes at least once), and I'm just so in love, I can hardly believe myself. And here's my reaction. XD

-------------------

I loved it. SAO is the ideal anime for me--not perfect, but pretty damn close. I'm a sucker for that particular type of romance, especially in the first half between Kirito and Asuna. I loved the animation, it had some pretty epic fights, I loved the opening and soundtrack... I loved practically all of it.

It's officially one of my favorite animes of all time and right now I think I feel more passionately about than even One Piece and I am a HUGE OP fan whereas I only started watching SAO recently.

I'm probably going to buy the bluray for the upcoming episodes, something I've NEVER done before, with an anime or any other show.

It's left a serious impression on me and it spoke to me a lot. It was really touching and just totally struck a chord with me.

That being said, I don't expect it to do the same to most people. I know some people felt like me and totally loved it and can't get enough--my biggest problem with the show was that it was too short--it should have been 4x as long IMO, no joke, and there was plenty to do to make it so (giving some of the side-characters more screen time, covering more floors, quests, etc., and just developing things more, I KNOW there was room for it but they did the bare minimum that they wanted to do).

So yeah I'm officially a HUGE fanboy. I'm sure people will mock me for saying "how can anyone like such a bland/cliche/uninteresting show" but well, to each their own, this was just like a perfect fit to me, kind of like how everyone has their own tastes in food, well this would be the new food I tried that instantly became my favorite food that I couldn't get enough of. XD

YES~ another member to add to the fold, my friend Bryce voiced the English Dub version of Kirito, and I still rub it in his face that the Japanese is always better...

In case you didn't know Blazer, the author of the original light novel is re-writing the SAO arc. He's calling it SAO: Progressive, and the idea is that it shows all the floors of Aincrad. Right now he's only finished the first floor but you might want to check it out iirc, it's pretty cool. There also a manga version of it if you prefer that.

I only care about General Tso and his chicken.

I wish it were better. The love seems forced and cringey atmany moments.

The world, story, animation and fight scenes are fantastic though.
