Full-to-bursting with plot armor, contrivances, and batshit insane game design, this show gave way to the same lazy writing that put the main franchise in the ground for so many people. The first and one that I more connect with is the feeling that this show is no better than the original.
Rather than being the "savior of the SAO franchise," I've noticed that GGO has mainly gotten two kinds of responses from its audience. By all rights, GGO should have been something of a fresh start or a hook to pull a new audience into the original SAO if things went well with this series.

Half the initial appeal of this show, for me and many others, was that it was written by the author of Kino's Journey, thus removing the worry that this show would fall to the same, awful writing the main series has suffered for years now. One in which I can't even get a spin-off series that is only loosely connected to the main franchise and is meant to be perfectly ingestible on its own. So, what we end up with is a show with lazy writing and no actual thought put into making the setting to make it engaging or something we, ourselves, might want to escape to.įocusing in on the actual show I'm reviewing today, though, I find myself in a similar situation.

As a series about games, however, it's generally well-known that everything on that level is absolute nonsense full of convenient contrivances and, as I understand it, literal deus ex machinas that make the impossible possible for Kirito. With the series as a whole, I've been lead to understand that the main push of the franchise is watching Kirito be a badass and have all the chicks crush on him because he's meant to serve as wish fulfillment for the audience. Put bluntly, I don't know if it's me or the series itself, but I just don't get SAO as a franchise. That was my opinion before watching this spin-off series and that opinion has still not changed. Review: While I'm fairly certain that I haven't been keeping this fact a secret from anyone, I'll just outright state, here and now, that I have never watched the main SAO franchise and have no intention of ever doing so.
