What I was trying to say is that those who have read the LN might like the animation more, be it SAO or SAO2. I always find that animations do skip details up, because it can't be as detailed as a story can be, which can't be help, but it does. I'm sure it's definitely not just in the case of SAO, but because I always see so much flak for this, partially because this is so hyped up, I just have to mention that SAO as a story itself, it isn't really so bad, I don't think it deserves so much of all those "SAO is so bad" comments. It's why I said that reactions might be different if it's not just the animated adaptation that they know about but the LN as well, because they would know more. (Before I start going in circles again with what I'm saying I shall stop)
