I would assume they are. No way they could stretch the content left in SAO out to 25 (is that right?) episodes.

Know thy enemy.
It's pretty much the same reason I will watch SAO. It's become too much of the thread zeitgeist, to simply ignore.
At least that's what I tell myself.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Well that's no good.

That's why SAO skips jumps ahead by months between episodes, so you don't have to watch people grind.
I'm so glad kayos is banned. lol
I don't remember it being more pervy than usual, but it's been a while.
Or maybe there are.
All dat sauce.
Hah, that arc was pretty fun. Of course, it's now in serious mode for the end.
There's nothing in terms of self-insert "pandering", really, unless the conversations count. The only possibly creepy scene is when Azusa shows the pose Ritsuko wanted her to do for a gravure audition and it zooms in on her boobs.

The first part of your post is probably the most condescending thing you've ever said. Congrats!

The dialogue in AW is much worse, imo. The scenes where
Kuroyukihime gets run over and where Cartman gets his wings
Thanks, I was going to question just how detailed the video game was @_@

Ah, standard male gaze then. lol
Well, there are only a few such scenes, but the mockumentary direction of the entire episode makes it much more noticeable, because it forces you to think about the camera as a surrogate for the viewer.
Maybe it'll go that route in the new version of the LN. It can get all existential and shit.
Interestingly, the most common response to most of the complaints that I made about the plot over the course of the three episodes that I watched was "this is what happens in MMOs". I've never played an MMO and while I've mostly imagined them simply as free-roam ARPGs with a pvp and multiplayer focus, it would seem that some of the plot points that I felt were unrealistic or contrived (the
"trap room" in Episode 3
Personally, this explanation alone isn't enough to get me to overlook plot points that would otherwise still sit poorly with me, but I can accept that it may make some things easier to swallow for MMO players.

Truly the fire in which we burn.
Hooked up to an IV drip.
Imagine the nurse's surprise when she found 2 years worth of GLOP clogging Kirito's catheter.

It really, really is. It's probably my favorite of the three.
I completely disagree. At least SAO is rather entertaining and enjoyable. AW is just terrible, except for the rare moments of brilliant action strewn haphazardly into the mess.
I don't see how that's a plot hole, to be honest. To me, it'd be a plot hole if they somehow knew what was happening to their bodies.
It's certainly something that nags on some people though. I'm personally not bothered by it, but I can see how it'd be something people would keep thinking about.

How did they find everyone who was playing the game? Who is paying for all this? Where are they all being kept? etc. They don't even show people being taken to hospitals, as if the state of their real bodies is a non-issue.

There's an explanation for all these things, but it's not relevant to the plot so we don't need to be shown it. I think it's a fair omission.

It's not a plot hole if they just haven't gotten around to it yet.

So if they can't feel in the game...
Parents and relatives, obviously.
I imagine there are a lot of deaths from neglect as well, as NEETs living by themselves die of dehydration.

Well.
The Sims
Sword Art Online 11 was pretty dumb.
The game is basically just an induced lucid dream. Any physical response that a normal dream can trigger should also be possible using a Nervegear, I guess.
Apparently it's some kind of a gel-foam bed that absorbs waste. So all that gloppage would just soak in and be taken care of that way.

What about the fireworks?
Considering how much better this is, I wonder if this was supposed to be the original OP. It just blows away the generic songs that we've heard from before. It's ryu level composition. Hell I'm trying to find more Team Nekokan's other songs to see if they're this good.

Is this part of your unofficial fan lore book that you're trying to launch through kickstarter?
I'm sure Kirito's harem swag pheromones are still being produced outside the game too, so the nurses are probably glad to wipe him down whenever that happens.

"All over my face" -IGN.com
Suddenly, from behind her came a gray tentacle which grabbed her right hand.
"...!!"
Asuna endured, throttling down a scream, as she tried to force her finger closer to the button, but the tentacle held onto her like steel wire and and didn't even budge. She tried to use her left hand, but just as she started to move it, a new tentacle twined around her arm. Asuna's hands were pulled into the air, the rest of her body following.

The wings was an asspull and still is, but I thought the dialogue was fine there. No worse than how
Kirito handled killing Kuradeel

The slug extended more tentacles, and wrapped up her entire body. Enfolded mercilessly, the wire-like tentacles cut into the flesh of her stomach and thighs.
...
"Let me go!! Let me go!! Let me go back home!!"
Asuna cried almost crazily, but the tentacles showed no signs of loosening.
"I can't do that, the boss will kill me. More importantly, aren't you bored in this place with nothing? How about we play with some electronic drugs? I was getting tired of those dolls anyway."
As he said those words, the cold, damp tentacles stroked Asuna's face.
"S...Stop!! What do you...!?"
Asuna desperately resisted, but the slug immediately extended new tentacles. Touching the skin of Asuna's leg, the tentacles slowly reached up into her dress.
...
The slug, taking advantage of that, moved a tentacle toward her mouth.

Kawahara is the greatest of all time. :bow
Welp it looks like a protagonist might make the right choice in a love triangle for once.
