You're a mod, you should be used to that.

Ok, this is not about an MMO but it is about an anime series that revolves around a virtual reality MMO and what could possibly happen if one of these were made.

I cannot recommend this strongly enough.
The animation quality is beyond any show I've watched, the only one that holds a candle to it would be something from Key (clannad, angel beats, etc). The artists and writer makes such a wonderful world and it addresses a lot of the questions that would be asked about virtual reality gaming. This looks like your typical ,"Lol, die in game die in real life" series, but it isn't even near that. Anyways, this isn't a review but just a recommendation so don't judge it as a review. Has anyone here seen this show?

-Panthers are the best.
-Haters gonna hate.
-Who Dares Wins
-If your one of my real life friends. STOP GOOGLE-ING ME.
XD

Seen and read it, every light novel I've read, can't wait for gun gale online.

How do they compare to watching the show itself?

The only animies I've watched are Clannad and SAO. I'm 15 episodes into SAO already and I think its awesome. Will it beat Clannad? I doubt it, that was the best series I've ever seen. I've never cried like I've cried watching Clannad.

Edit: When Asuna took off all her clothes, I rofled.

A lot better than the anime, more in depth and more explained, also details all future arcs, at least read gun gale, best arc in entire franchise.

Ef- A tale of memories/melodies > Clannad in the emotional department because (SPOILER ALERT) they didn't make a happy ending that took every emotion you should have felt for that series and crushed it. When someone in Ef dies, they're dead.

I don't need no stinking signature!

I didn't care for it unfortunately, especially the alfemhiem part. Too many unnecissary side stories and slow pacing.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

The first part was good, but the series went downhill during the ALO arc. At least the ending wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I like how your sub box is full of science and political videos but your recommendations are full of anime girls kissing each other.

Just Zoid being Zoid ^_^

I was just entranced by the worlds they created within the anime.

That's insulting

Add a star if you really like philosophical ponderings, but I think we can all agree now that this series deserves to be buried and forgotten

Part 1 is good.

Part 2 sucks -blam!-s. The entire second part of the first season feels like filler honestly. I know the original novel had to be cut short so floors 75-100 were left out and we got this crap instead, but damn I couldn't stand the mary-sueness of it.

Check out my deviantART page

Some things I like:
Video Games
Anime
Art

Sword Art Online is extremely awesome, but that top 10 list isn't very good imo. Nisemonogatari shouldn't be in third place...

I'll bring the tritium laser cutters if you bring the beer!

Funny story.

SAO is utter crap.

I've just picked up watching it, only three episodes in now.
