So why do people feel the urge to "teach" the fans of this anime why it is so shit? Even in this thread, in such a small community. It's kinda pathetic.
Because they're compensating for something, whether it's because of real life troubles or because of you-know-what. That, or they're just an ass. It's for the same reasons people troll, really.
The characters are bland and unoriginal, deus ex machina at the end of both arcs and Kirito is the best at everything. That being said, I found SAO enjoyable for what it was. Anyone that tries to tell you what your opinion is should be discarded.

After reading the LN the anime felt like an 8/10 for me, it just didn't seem to flesh out the little details enough. Also while Kirito is pretty much godlike in every game which puts people off at least it's consistent.
Used to be my League of Legends name, I use it on battle.net atm
Even so the LN has the little itty bitty details that make the story much better. Anyway volume 11 has yet to be fully translated since it only came out a few weeks ago right?

Agreed, all the little details add so much more to the story, for example Kirito's fight against Heathcliff was more enjoyable to read than it was to watch (though it was still fun to watch)
And yes 11 was released a couple weeks ago I can't wait for the full translation

Tonkii and the mob chapters they skipped don't really equate that much into the main story. You could remove that arc and not affect the general flow of the light novels, unless you include the side stories.

I agree with what they did there since they could probably just make that into an OVA. The Tonkii side story isn't really that important in the main story

Are you kidding? Tonkii played a huge part later in the story should they make out the OVA. If they went with starting the side stories on the OVA it would seem out of place since it happened when Kirito and Lyfa was on their way to Yggdrasil.
And Reki was doing this all wrong. He skipped 2 years on the main story and started writing what HAPPENS in that 2 years as side stories. For example, just recently B*k*-Tsuki released the translated version of a story on how Kirito and Asuna got their house and i can see how amazing it would be if it got translated. There's also a story on how they're having a ramen eating contest in order to figure out the identity of the shop owner. If only he made these kind of stuff first then i can see SAO going on for about 52 episodes (and that would be awesome)

If you want to talk about the sidestories, then yes, but for the "main" stories, Tonkii won't make that much of a difference. Tonkii doesn't appear at all in the later main story arcs. (GGO, Mother Rosario, Project Alicization)

So, I heard from this guy in a Mumble server I go to yesterday that the SAO dub will be on Toonami. Maybe it's me but, I saw the trailer (yeah, I'm all late seeing it) of the dubbed version and... I'm conflicted.
I don't care for some dubs all too much (kinda 50/50) and I already watched the show (call me an anime hipster) so, I won't be watching it when it airs. But... the voices, to me, just don't seem fitting for the characters. Maybe I'm just used to the J-voices. The way they speak makes me think of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya or something like that.
In short: I don't plan to watch it but, the voice acting is making me want to watch at least the first half.
Kirito's voice kind of fits his character I think. Asuna's voice... not so much.
Having read the LNs up to the latest volume, and watched the anime a lot of times already, I don't think I'll be watching this unless I really have nothing else to do.

Edit: Merged with the main thread
Thanks for moving it. i didn't see this thread due to being sleepy. But, I kinda hope they do a 2nd season with the other 2 games in the storyline.
Makes me curious as to how a movie would play out? Like, would it be stuff maybe left out of the manga/LN? New stuff that maybe they cut from the show? Pull a Naruto and make it 2 hours of filler?
