Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?



One of us! One of us! One of us!

You know I can't believe I'm defending SAO, but it's far from being the worst thing ever, even with the terrible writing, the invinciblity of Yamato Jesus Kira's apostle Kirito, and the blatant waifu/harem pandering, ie: anything with Silica, perfect waifu Asuna, and did you know that Sugu's cup size was inflated by the editor and the author originally wanted her with smaller breasts? (a single change that led to simple's stockholm syndrome), etc.

I mean, I still couldn't bring myself to keep watching it, and I certainly don't think it's a good anime, but it's far from the worst that lurks out there, plenty of shows are much trashier than simple makes this one sound.

...From the six or so episodes and the few clips of some other parts I've seen, anyway.

The real "problem", if you want to call it that, is that SAO is actually popular, probably because of these things too.

But hey, Japan loves it's OP protagonists that are OP just because and they love their harems, so what are you gonna do. Couldn't tell you if that's why it's popular in the west too or not.
Pretty much this. We've all seen worse, but the amount of attention and praise this anime gets makes me dislike it further. Because we know it could, and SHOULD, be better than what it is. And the more praise something like this gets, the more we're likely to see crap like this happen again in the future.

We also have incentive to focus on it more because, really, I think we all WANTED a really good MMO anime, and this is what we got. It raised our hopes high at the start, and then it became... what we got.

As a reader of the light-novels (which I still consider great), I'm that much more disappointed in the anime because I've seen this story told already in a way that I thought was great. I don't know how they managed to pick and choose how to portray so much of this story and characters so differently from how I remember the LN's, but it's rather upsetting.
