Jun 30, 2018 Stark700 Mixed Feelings 6 years ago when Sword Art Online first aired, that piece of work caused controversy that still generates discussion to this very day. Then Summer 2014 came and we got the sequel known as Sword Art Online II. While being an improvement of the original series, it didn’t really amplify itself as a big improvement. Four years later, here we are again. Except this time, it’s not an actual continuation of the main series. Instead, we got this spinoff known as Sword Art Online: Alternative Online. To be clear, you don’t need to watch any of the previous series in the franchise. In fact, it doesn’t ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 30, 2018 Zaber_san Recommended Video games have been part of our everday life. Either from anime and to our real world, this type of entertainment have grown massive for years and it is still growing until now. Back in Summer 2012, the whole anime community was stunned as the first season of Sword Art Online came. Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 30, 2018 TakaCode Recommended Sword Art Online or SAO for short is the most polarisinganime series of all time. It is the definition a series that you will either love or hate. Like with many people on net I have a very low option of Sword Art Online because it was a terrible series. While I don’t completely despise the series anymore mainly because I have seen anime that are in my opinion worse than Sword Art Online it is still a series that I really dislike with a passion When I first heard about this series being announced a couple moths back after I watched the painfully subpar Sword ...

May 27, 2018 afkchaos Not Recommended Preliminary (7/12 eps) After seven episodes I am... I started out the anime same as all of you, wanting to see if they could recreate the magic from episode one, two and half of three. However they couldn't.

Jun 30, 2018 KANLen09 Recommended In 2012, we are introduced to the world of Sword Art Online, where it features the most hated over-the-top OP character Kirito, the main MC along with his shenanigans of fantasy-drama with the cast of SAO, and his foundation brings him over to 2014 where we have SAO Season 2: the world of Gun Gale Online (or GGO), with an entirely new cast (but not without the original cast (since it’s a cross-over)) that manages to do well but garner less attention from the original series, but in all essence, Kirito stood still: He saw, he came, and he conquered…ALL, with much hate from the ...

Jun 22, 2018 nouman Not Recommended Preliminary (7/12 eps) This will be my first review on MAL. What compelled me to write this reivew is not because I enjoyed SAO Gun Gale, but rather what an abhorrent disaster it is. Few of the animes I have watched in mylife time where I get to the point of throwing up just watching it. Recenlty SAO-GG & Tokyo Ghoul:re are top on that list. Read more Open Gift Report
May 6, 2018 william6108 Mixed Feelings Preliminary (5/12 eps) This anime is aimed towards children. Plot development doesn't really exist because the story is just way too predictable, though next to nothing happens in the first place anyway. Character development doesn't really exist also because of these reasons. This is true especially given the fact that the MC is a speed-hacking, invulnerable teleporting omnipotent 4-dimensional nano-hitbox with an annoying voice. Nothing interesting happens in the game when its focus is on the MC because every event is predominantly determined by her speed hacks. This anime would tell a more interesting story if the SAO theme of it didn't exist. Read more Open Gift Report
May 12, 2018 MasterTrash Mixed Feelings Preliminary (5/12 eps) After 5 episodes in which is almost half of the whole series, GGO still fails to give us the motivation of protagonist(Karen). What is Karen fighting for and why should we care and root for her? The premise is she play GGO because the character that she got is short and cute, and therefore she is playing GGO. However, beyond this, I can't really find why Karen is playing this game, which leads to the character being boring and uninteresting. What does winning the tournament means to Karen, and what does she gain from it? Well... All I see is nothing. All I know ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 30, 2018 Its-Maki-kun Recommended For years, Sword Art Online franchise told us a story about being inside a VRMMO game (or ARMMO in Ordinal Scale case) and while the setting or the world building is very good enough, they never have given us any good story or protagonist characterization (I'm looking at you, Kirito). Suddenly an adaptation of a light novel spin-off based on Sword Art Online franchise came to us and exceeded its original story it based on. Using the game setting of Sword Art Online : Phantom Bullet arc, the VRMMO game called Gun Gale Online, I will tell you why this spin-off is far more better ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 17, 2018 Karuparu Recommended Preliminary (5/12 eps) The fact that the original SAO has a higher score than this is frankly appalling. Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 30, 2018 Kouichi_Nanaya Not Recommended Preliminary (4/12 eps) TL;DR at the bottom Well for the people that hate Kirito he is not here so good for them, but it does not make the show better for it. Instead the show is centered around a girl with a height complex. So how tall is she you may ask is she 6'2" maybe a even 7' feet tall? No she is 6' tall which is very big for a girl but is about 3" bigger then the average Japaneses male. People say this show dose not have have any of the old SAO cast but the main is sinon with a height complex instead of a ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 30, 2018 kyzrs Recommended Honestly this anime is insanely enjoyable. This review is spoiler free by the way. After finishing this show I went to write a review immediately because of how much I loved the ending and how it wrapped up. First the ending. This is the most complete, wrapped up, and satisfying endings I have seen in a while. I felt so complete after watching it. The characters ALL grew and developed and it fit so perfectly that I wouldn't have ended it another way. In the trend of seasonal, 12 episode anime; this is definitely one of the most complete anime I have seen. The story progressed very well, ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jul 1, 2018 NoizyFrog Not Recommended This show is a spin-off in Sword Art Online franchise and features a completely new cast in next “death game lite” scenario. Do these major changes mean improvement over the original? No. SAO:GGO tanks story and characters as spectacular as its predecessor, minus those action sequences, that made SAO at least serviceable. STORY: We did not forget the obligatory café info dump & rape scene. Read more Open Gift Report
May 2, 2018 pomegranit Mixed Feelings Preliminary (4/12 eps) *SPOILER FREE* When Sword Art Online first came out, I was still an anime newbie. Ignorant to harems and perfect Gary Stu characters, I was impressed by Kirito, and just like most young kids, I thought he was great. In hindsight, I decided I didn't like him for the same reasons I used to like him. I assumed that if he was written better, then Sword Art Online and Gun Gale Online would have been better-- but alas, even when he's not even in this show, I find myself bored to tears. As a geek myself, I thought I would enjoy the whole Gun Gale ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jul 1, 2018 SoraSenpai Recommended Story: The story takes place a few years after the release of Sword Art Online. It centers around our main heroine Karen Kohiruimaki. She enters the world of Gun Gale online to get away from the issue she has being a very tall woman. She tries many different games but each one gives her a tall default character. That is until she enters Gun Gale online and becomes the Pink Devil LLENN. I actually liked the idea of why Karen wanted to play games. Because honestly thats what we do. When we are sick of dealing with situations we don't want to deal with we turn ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 30, 2018 Shingster Recommended Please note this review is intended to be read by those that have finished watching SAO AGGO and while care has been taken to minimise story related spoilers there may still be spoilers within character analysis. You have been warned. The Rise of Llenn a university student’s journey to gain confidence and overcome a personal complex by fighting and facing down fierce opponents as a cute and speedy girl on the bullet-ridden battlefields of GGO Online.

Dec 22, 2022 RebelPanda Recommended I find Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online incredibly fascinating. Unlike most virtual reality stories, GGO actually explores video games in thoughtful ways beyond just a flashy action spectacle. And yes, it has the spectacle as well. GGO is far different, and better than the rest of the Sword Art Online franchise; for starters, you don’t even need to watch the originals to watch this spinoff. There are no related characters, no Kirito. The only similarity they share is the world they take place in. The original SAO is mentioned a few times and surprisingly the new series writer frequently criticizes the old one. GGO ... Read more Open Gift Report

Jul 15, 2018 CanAKATheIndigo Recommended SAO Alternative GGO: A fun series that served as the opening act SAO Alternative GGO had only one function: to warm up the public for the arrival of the main dish of the franchise, Alicization, which is coming in October. And the series fulfilled. The novel written by Keiichi Sigsawa (known for novels like Allison and its sequels "Lillia and Treize" and "Meg and Seron", which resulted in the anime Allison & Lillia) and supervised by Reki Kawahara (creator of SAO) was never ambitious nor did it seek to overshadow the original story Therefore, it was foreseeable that after the announcement of the start of Alicization for next ...

Jun 30, 2018 XDRage Mixed Feelings First things first, if you disliked original SAO you can safely test this series for yourself, it's nothing like it. Just to be clear here I did enjoy the original SAO immensly (almost all of it) even though it had quite a number glaring faults. What makes or breaks animes and mangas for me these days are mostly characters and their interactions, then cpmes the story and then the rest, and SAO:GGO unfortunately seems to have it all the wrong way round. The GOOD things first: Read more Open Gift Report More Reviews |
