Just putting this out there, don't start a war: I like sao. COMMENTS STOP JUDGING ME!! Okay!! Put the pitchforks down... I like sao, deal with it!!
Manga. Personally, I've never read it so I don't exactly have a say for an opinion. I don't really like the art style though; I looked through the first book in Barnes and Noble, didn't like the art style compared to the anime.
Anime. I like the art, *breathes heavily in* and the story. PUT THE PITCHFORKS AWAY AND LET ME EXPLAIN MYSELF!! PUT THE PITCHFORKS INTO A SAFE PLACE... AWAY FROM YOU!! I mean come on. The story is about kids and the new game, sao, and to get out of there alive, they need to clear the game. I ship Asuna and Kirito, as well as Kirito with his medium sized harem. My favorite opining is ignite, the first opening to sao 2. Think what you'd like, pitchfork whomever you wish to pitchfork, in my opinion, sao is good. Now for more fun with anime.
