It ruined the show for me and made me somewhat afraid of what season two may hold.
#ZANKYOU NO TERROR EPISODE 4 RAW SERIES#
All I could think of when it started was that the tagline for that arc should have been: Sorry Kirito! But your princess is in another VRMMO! It also introduced a couple things that were never in the first arc and, sure as hell, did not need to be in the series at all incest and repeated sexual assaults on Asuna. In the Fairy Dance arc things just got corny. I would have been happy if they had ended the series there, but they didn't. It made me somewhat nostalgic and they did a good job of getting the viewer to care for them. I connected on an emotional level to the romance between Kirito and Asuna during the Aincrad story arc because I have had online romances in the past. In short, I loved the first story arc but felt that the second story arc was completely unnecessary and ultimately tainted my enjoyment of the show. Before I talk about season two I feel I should state my opinion of season one. Now that I'm six episodes in I feel I'm ready to talk briefly about it. It's finally time to talk about the second season of Sword Art Online! I had intended to talk about this one sooner but the show had a fairly slow start so I didn't have much of an opinion on it. With the talented staff it has I have big hopes for this show! I will definitely continue watching this show, it has the potential to be one of the best fantasy anime in recent years. Admittedly I don't know anything about the card game so I don't know how many references may or may not be present, the one fairly obvious nod seeming to be when bounty targets are captured they are turned into stone cards. If I didn't know about the card game I would have thought it was just an exciting new fantasy series. The music is a bit generic but fits the show well. This is thanks to the amazingly talented Studio Mappa ( Terror in Resonance, Kids on the Slope). The production values are easily the best I've ever seen for an animated adaptation of a trading card game. The main heroes are two bounty hunters Favaro, the lovable rogue, and Kaisar, a noble pretty-boy who has fallen on hard times due to something Favaro did that has yet to be revealed. All I know from the first episode is that in the past Bahamut was pissed and set about destroying everything and everyone (as he so often does). The show is a fairly traditional fantasy story. I was extremely surprised when I saw how highly rated this show was by all the reviewers so I had to check it out. I have a bad habit of trying to watch far too many shows at once so their guide is a very helpful tool in deciding what I should focus on. I generally make use of Anime News Network's handy seasonal preview guides to weed out the shows that I feel are not worth my time. Thus far it has been the biggest surprise of the season. Rage of Bahamut: Genesis is the exception to that rule. If I were into the card game they were based on that may be a different story. It's no secret that I'm not a fan of those types of shows. 9 times out of 10, whenever I see the words "Based on the best-selling trading card game" in the synopsis for an anime I immediately move on to something else.
