I'd say that's definitely the repeated point of everything, but they mire it in nothing but harem antics and cardboard cutout young male power fantasy that anything SAO might have to say artistically comes across as either forced or incompetent.SkinnyJommy wrote:
Will probably get a lot of flame for this... but the deepest/smartest anime I've seen is SAO. It is by far my favorite anime, possible because it was the first anime I watched. The development of all the characters and the message behind the anime itself. I would like to think that message is "Never take life for granted, and make the most of it."
Not flaming you, just disagreeing with you.
