SAO turned to shit right as soon as the actual SAO was beat, I'm currently on this "Alfheim Online" arc and I can tell already that it's not going to recover.

But the actual SAO arc was utter shit, too.

It was a pure gold compared to what we're getting now. Even with all the BS I could call out on the original arc, I still found it somewhat enjoyable. I just can't do it with this new arc.

If the pseudo-incest is the thing that you hate, then probably. However, ignoring that, part was was just as bad, if not worse than part 2.

Edited by VIC: 12/31/2013 8:45:25 PMAsuna is actually a decent character in the first arc. [spoiler]She gets turned into a damsel with borderline tentacle porn and some weird dude sniffing her hair and licking her face in arc 2.[/spoiler] Arc 2 is cringey as shit. Overall the first arc was ok but nothing to write home about. Edit: added spoiler tags for minor plot spoilers.

TURN BACK NOW Part 1 was bearable, but part 2 is absolute and utter shit.

I don't understand why they just didn't extend the first arc. From what I've been told they cut out a lot of stuff from the Light Novel, enough to make it 26 episodes. I guess they just didn't want to bother....

hack-job then huh? animes do that, this doesnt surprise me. your right though. it would have been much more ... watchable if they had extended the first arc.
