He only said he liked them both.

Sorry guy, though I do find your dying screams enjoyable.

Sorry guy, I’m not going to re-phrase everything for you in smaller words just so you’ll find it coherent.

I know faulty baseless assumptions are an integral part of your discussion strategy, but you might need to re-consider your approach.

The reason I know how many fallacies, cliches, plot-holes, bad characterization (by definition), and deus ex machina SAO contains is because I experienced it first hand.

Keep the tears coming. I’ll be waiting for a coherent argument that addresses at least one thing I’ve said.

I rest my case.

All it really boils down to is if the viewer enjoyed the show. You can’t argue “show x is better than show y because it had element z in it”. The argument falls flat because the traits you give value might not mean anything at all to someone else. In summation SAO might have a more engaging story, better visuals, acting, whatever but that doesn’t devalue other peoples shows or opinions.

This is why I love the internet.

First: SAO is in Japanese. The OP indicated that they were watching SAO in order to improve their Japanese ability. You seem to be expressing disgust that someone finds value in a literary work which you consider to be unsophisticated. The purpose of this website is to provide advice and encouragement to learners of Japanese and other languages. The purpose of this website is not literary criticism. You’re starting the wrong argument in the wrong forum.

Second: You’re trying to measure subjective qualities (enjoyability; artistic merit) in terms of objective qualities (logical consistency within a story). I just don’t see that as an appropriate argument. I’ll agree that SAO is a horrific mess from an academic standpoint, but I watch it and enjoy it anyway. The visuals are good, and the setting is interesting even if the story is “objectively” bad. My interpretation is that the setting is what the author was focused on to begin with. The characters and conflict are just mechanisms by which to explore the setting in greater detail. A stronger story probably could have improved the overall quality of the series; It might also have pulled the audience’s attention away from the setting and onto the characters, which may not have been what the author wanted. The point is that there’s no objectively right way to entertain people.

Fact: agentxjp doesn’t fully understand narcobean’s comments and covers up by saying he’s back-pedaling
Fact: agentxjp mirrored “So, yeah. That’s just like, your opinion, man. =)” with “So, yeah. That’s just like, your cop-out, man. =)” because s/he missed the reference to the Big Lebowski clip

…therefore…

Fact: agentxjp is a loud mouth who isn’t actually paying attention to what others say and is just trying to make sure her/his opinions are being heard by getting into petty arguments about anime.

If you disagree with that logic, then you disagree with your entire argument.

A show containing or not containing Traits X, Y, Z isn’t not my opinion. This is the core aspect of the discussion; the other things were fluff.

Fact: Sword Art Online has a significant amount of cliches going by the standard general English definition.

Fact: Sword Art Online has numerous plot holes given the standard English definitions.

Fact: Your post has several instances of back-pedaling.

As for the rest I’ve already addressed it; comments like “D class” logically follow this, however the factual part is existence or lack of existence of traits X, Y, and Z. I’m objectively right, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

So, yeah. That’s just like, your cop-out, man. =)
