Comments

yulian

OHHH MAN IVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS AND ITS FINALLY HERE!!! GONNA WATCH RN AND DROP MY THOUGHTS LATER, PEAK!!!

flowww

I think you should do 2 episodes a week bro, the show has 100 eps 😭

Hailee

lmao idk of you just saw my comment, just tell me i’m extremely blind if you did😵‍💫

LA

Read the caption, the links there

Hxlo

Very very long journey if ur just watching one ep good luck😆

Gidj

he'll do 2 i think replacing both 86 and frieren

Ruukasu97

w upload, its my favorite franchise of all time

Iron_claw

Hey nick I know you give us a lot of content and uploads and I actually we appreciate it but can we please get the 2 episodes for every 1 video upload like what you use to do so that way we get though these shows a little faster. Like what you did with the slime reactions. And other old reactions

RB01

yeah honestly just make it 3-4 exclusives and 2+ eps of each per week, would be much better imo

Kouzen

Oh I wish you re-reacted to ep1

Ruukasu97

btw many dont know this, the actress of Asuna Haruka Tomatsu is also a singer and she sings ending 1 and opening 4,5 and 7 of sao she also gave birht to her second child 2 weeks ago

Ruukasu97

12:05 this song is called "luminous sword" also know as "Asuna's Theme"

Swift_Ninja

I watched this show when I was like 7 and I just realized how horny it was

.

that was amazing

Ruukasu97

ofc Asuna is awesome, thats why she is my favorite female fictional character. Shes perfect

Ruukasu97

Sao is 96 episodes and 3 movies

nikq

PEAK IS COMING! yeah first episodes are always like build up to the show and i know u will like it when it comes with more serious shit (there are really enough touching moments in this anime)

yulian

I really appreciate that you immediately like kirito. Most people during his "beater" moment thought it was too edgy and cringe. But right before that scene, he is sweating and then gulps. He was putting on act of being an asshole to distract the people from accusing others to be beta testers. This makes me respect kirito as a character a lot because it shows he cares about how his actions can have consequences on the people around him even though it's mostly not even his fault. And yea, kirito and asuna's dynamic is some of the best ive seen in shonen anime (in my humble opinion). Other than that there isn't much else to say for now. Peak fight with multiple amazing ost's, SAO does these things in the best way.

yulian

WOOOOOOOOOOOO

yulian

CINEMA INDEED

nicholas

Please just give us 2 episodes every time in season 2 cause it is mid asf and I want to be done with that as soon as possible to get back to peak is season 3

yulian

Back again next week with my peak commentary

Toshinori

aye I see you on Faxityy's SAO reactions too!

davidbrn15 z

XD sure, for me SAO start is a 10/10 but after 4 episodes is boring asf, only alicizitation is good

Popcorn

I can't wait for Nick to see the moment Online & Sword fight in season 5, it's truly a work of Art.

Swift_Ninja

Kirito, Erin and Inosuke have the same dub voice

Kodky

if u watch sao without knowing of the hate that it has youll never guess is that hated, Great anime!

Ruukasu97

haha, you can see me on pretty much any reaction

Ruukasu97

because im passionate and i have something to say

Azariel 竜月

Oh yes have been waiting for that one ! Let’s goo

KaitouKay1412

Oh yeah I forgot you watched episode 1 a long time ago 😂 at first I was like did I miss an episode? 😂😂

Mobi_fiufiu

Ye, 1st half of 1st season is peak, 2nd is dog shit then its better again

The Shiz

Ignore the haters you'll love every second of it thosecwho say second half is shit Are just sheep

The Shiz

False its peak from start to finish it has action and emotion which is amazing if you get sword art online you know the emotion you feel with kirito as your watching every episode

L1ght

I hope he makes it to Aria of a starless night. That movie is absolutely amazing. Even rewatching this I get goosebumps from the ost

Gaperiza

This is a perfect example of this special blossom anime era (2014+). I also forgot that Asuna is the best anime waifu, she's so beautiful and feminine. Also it's kIIIrito, not kirIIIto. I'm glad that you're choosing the animes I enjoyed in the past so much (Akame ga kill will drive me crazy)

K-Money

Season 1 is good especially the first half though it gets a little weird in the last half at times, season 2 is pretty mid especially the last half though I personally was kind of a fan of the first half but just wait till season 3 Alicization the animation, ost and sound effects go so hard especially in part 2 and the story gets good again

Daniel iacomi

96 weeks to wait see a new anime other than S.A.O. bruh...

rizqiefajar

I ejoyed SAO when I was in high school. But honestly, Solo Leveling hit that part that I felt was kind of missing in SAO, which is the actual leveling up / progression part. It's still the modern anime that popularizes the isekai genre we know now. I personally gave SAO season 1 like a 7/10 back then, but you can't deny the huge influence it has in the industry

Maki

Both pronunciations of Kirito work, neither is really correct anyway. Japanese doesn’t stress syllables, so saying ”KI-ri-to” or ”ki-RI-to” are both fine.

Martin Fink

Hell yea let's go!!!!!!!

Eduardo

SAO's always had a special place in my heart. season 1 slaps, middle seasons slow down but still have their awesome moments, final seasons return to peak with amazing animation

Ry

Are you going to watch all the movies?

Capt'n Ren

Bruh, he is watching 7 other anime right now. Go watch them.

Silentwtf

u must watch danmachi. its my favortite underrated anime

Capt'n Ren

Where can I watch this "season 5"? Pretty sure there are only 4 seasons.

Asuna

Can't wait for Nick to reach Alicization. That's peak cinema 🙌

Martin Fink

One of absolute favorite anime it was the first non mainstream (at the time) that I picked up and absolutely loved because it was a unique concept (at the time) of if you die in game you die in real life so it added more to the fight scenes in the arc. Just have to say buckle up your in for a ride.

Savldj

Animation is pretty nutty for 2012

wren

W

MIce1987

So glad you're watching SAO! It's one of my favorite anime.

Rage4198

btw if you dont know kirito shares VA with betelgeuse from re zero

Meunji

Yeah petelguese from re:zero ... Even that baffles me still.

KaGemori Kazuki

the funnies thing is he usually talks about other content creators and compare himself to them and what he is doing and what they're doing... brother... do your thing and we're here for it... who cares about the other content creators... talking for myself right now... i only watch your reactions for specific shows i like and what i do not like i do not care about but i still sometimes peak and see your pov about it... again, do your thing and F the others and the haters... we're here brother! lezgo! F

Armavel

Basically Father of Isekai genre, one of most controversial anime, but at same time most influential in industry(i can compare only with Gundam here). Next episode ... ohh

Armavel

Kirito voice actor is Inosuke, yes, and Soma from Food Wars, Petelgeuse from Re Zero + a lot lot more. One of the GOATs in Industry. Asuna voice actress is also Zero Two from Darling in the Franxx, Waifu Queen VA)

지원

let's goo

Edu Rodrigues

I will just say this once: Just watch season 1 and "mark as watched" and you will be happy with it

JevCor

nah, alicitization is good

axilir21

Last comment, Sword Art Online has 4 seasons of 24 episodes and 2 or 3 movies.

Manuel Garavelli

Take your time, of course, enjoy my man 💪

SecreZ

LETS FUCKING GO, BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. I just wanna get this out of the way, SAO was first aired back in 2012, there was nothing like it. Isekai existed but not anything close to what we know them as today. It quite literally pioneered anime in this genre to what it is today. Now, I love this show, it's my all time favorite, it's what introduced me to anime, I know it like the back of my hand, the good and the bad. Do you wanna know the bad? It's literally just one character in the latter part of season one that makes things weird with Kirito, that's it. Just because of that people say drop it after episode 14. Fucking ridicoulous, if you watch SAO with an open mind, and actually fucking watch it, everything in and after season 1 is peak. Anyway, sorry for the essay, I just care for SAO a lot and I don't want some retarded comments to ruin the experience for others. If you don't like it because of things other than what happens in season 1, then I accept it and that's your opinion.

SecreZ

You're thinking about Okamoto, the voice actor for Bakugo, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka is the VA for Kirito/Inosuke etc

SecreZ

Yeah I'm glad you mentioned it, not a lot of people notice that it flashed back to Diabel and then he hesitates for a sec, it's obviously an act especially the more you watch the show lmfao

axilir21

You're right, my bad😅 Completely mixed them up

axilir21

Ehh. The Leafa arc and Excalibur arc are okay, but the rest is really good. They're not nearly bad enough to drop the show.

SHOU

I can't tell if you are just making jokes or is serious. Where in the world did you check that ridiculous information

LebronGlazer

hell yeah i love kirito and sao

Kyouma

Alicization is phenomenal. I would definitely stick with the show.

Zelek

when I noticed that you were going to watch SAO I was happy because it's one of my first series that I still love. I can't wait for you to start watching season 3. The beginning of SAO is great but season 3 is a level above

KaitoSuzuki

PEAK REACTION AS ALWAYS MY GLORIOUS KING

Anavil Didthasom

Agreed. This series should ended at 14 episodes.

nikq

yes, I completely agree. I love SAO from beginning to the end. I watched it when I was an early teenager and I liked it, now nothing has changed, I just started to think even more about some moments and shit.. this anime deserves all the attention. I'm sure Nick will like this show

Armavel

bs, phantom bullet and war of underworld is arguable better than aincrad arc. Mother Rosario also very good and emotional. From pacing and plot progression perspective i would argue than aincrad maybe even weakest one(but it has outstanding setup and world building).

Mike

Oh boy, here comes episode 3 again. I'm not ready.

Meur̃ect

Haruka Tomatsu voices Asuna Tomokazu Sugita voices Gintoki Hiroshi Kamiya voices Saiki

Toshinori

Dont apologize for the essay. it needed to be said. I swear everyone hates this anime for no reason. Kirito too op? damn but they love one punch man, naturo, dragon ball, anime with literal gods, and even Overlord. Its a game, of course someone will be OP, just so happens we're following THAT character. If the anime isnt sooooooo serious and gruesome, its bad apparently.

Kazuki Kirizaku

Ah yes. The reason why the music/soundtrack for this show is so good; Yuki Kajiura. She's my personal favorite anime music composer and for good reason. (Hiroyuki Sawano's music is fantastic too, but Kajiura's music is my cup of tea) 'nuff said. ^^

Entei

I think three should be more than 1 episode per week. Hope you will adjust It after 86/Fullmetal. Great reaction Bro!

Able Kwok

Haruka Tomatsu, Asuna's VA did voice Gintoki and Saiki 's girl versions.

Zenkusen

SAO is a pretty long series nick I think doing 2 episodes at least a post would be a good idea for this one. Love that you're watching it tho, its such a cliche anime but its so good at being one.

TheRagaz

SAO is like the DBZ of isekai.

Tony Andrew III

nearly 100 episodes, we can do 2 a week and be set for about a year...

CSR Kurapika

The dude was dying even if he drank that potion

Song

because with SAO, it focus on the story progression instead of the game itself, heck even the game itself is story driven, while SL is literally about "leveling"

RB01

Damn, I used to think this was really cool when i first watched it 5 years back, now its just hilariousy cringe :DD still a fun watch tho, for now

NotSoGreatNate

Can’t wait for the worst part LOL ya nasties

derin demir

ı still love SAO bro first 14 ep is too good but every other ep is mid xd

donald cuck

tell me u watched sao without telling me you atually watched it :

Cyrill Attakpah

"congratulations" - "im not gonna say anything" yeah you better not say anything after butchering every single name xD you say "Asuna" like the german "SasUUUUUke" xD and "Egil" like "EEEdgiel" XD

sidlo01

there are also 3 movies

axilir21

Ohhh yeah, that makes sense for Saiki😂

Phyco

- someone who's gotten their opinion online

RB01

Yeah and people keep trying to dispute that with the "allicization is good" argument, but thats just because everything before that was so shit for so long that it suddenly felt like its good again :D

Daniel Thompson

This anime will give you whiplash, it has some incredible moments and some absolute steaming trash, but all in all it's worth the watch I think. Excited to see you reacting to all the good and bad!

Givi Ofgivia

bro should just use Kenbun haki to watch this show

Igor Żółtowski

I recommend you to watch 2 progressive movies after 1st season because even though they are latest movies they show Asunas perspective of SAO

JevCor

or just because its actually good

The_Cringe_Nerd

Once Nick finishes SAO, I highly recommend to also watch the Abridged series on YT as well.

Nonos

I actually watched the whole show and would say alicization was the best of the show.

Orange

You need to know, before Alicization you need to watch the movie ordinal scale, It's important to understand the arrival of certain characters

Popcorn

Sword Art Online(season 1) Gun Gale Online(season 2) Sword Art Online Alicization(season 3) Sword Art Online Alicization: War of The Underworld(season 4) Sword Art Online Alicization: War of The Underworld II(season 5) Thats how I count it, even if it's officially 2nd cour of War of The Underworld

OpMan

its not even a debate alicization is by far the best part of the show

Ithyraa

I'm so exicted Nick is finally picking this up. I know it's not the best of the anime out there but when my friend first got me onto anime, this was the first series I chose to watch on my own. Will always be a special anime to me! Have fun with it Nick!

Ithyraa

Season 1, 3, and 4 are great. Season 2 was definitely a drop in quality but I personally enjoyed it anyway. The ggo part. Not anything after

Shana

Idk dude, Mothers Rosario and Alicization are really enjoyable.

Roosterbärs

He can see the future lmao. Good that he brought up how many episodes he's going to be uploading because I was about to comment something like "I hope he picks up the pace since otherwise it will take almost 2 years" xD.

Sinful Thunder

i got 2 SAO tattoos 1 of Asuna and another of the shows logo with the swords behind it

Sean

YOOOO FINALLY SAO!!!!!!

Xan Acktor

I've always wanted to get an anime tattoo. But I'm kind of glad I never did. Like imagine the first two seasons are amazing of a show and you get a tattoo and then the show falls flat on its face on the last season and is regarded The worst fall off ever.

Sinful Thunder

Your own personal decision i don't mind the entire story of the show. Can't wait for the next movie and upcoming seasons. Show is far from over.

Celphan

Since I watched this anime long ago and before I was involved with social media, I'm really curious about the general opinion in this anime... I like the first half of 1st season, but I think Alicization is my favorite part. Can anybody else share their opinions too?

Subsidium

after you watch it, you should watch the abridged as well

Armavel

Its ok anime with really highest highs and lowest lows. Too overhated by mainstream public.

Mcfridge

Some episodes have extra scenes after credits, just a heads up

Arctic_Hokkyoku

12:04 Dood yuki Kajiura OSTs are super GOATED. Just wait till you hear her FATE or Madoka Magica ones

Slappo

this anime is so corny bro. true 2012 anime

Dash

Same with edgy leveling

Mandingo Flamingo

he sent a link to his reaction to it from the stream where he was looking at a bunch of isekai anime its the second one he watched i believe

DubbLander

But can we convince Nick to watch SAO abridged at some point is the real question lol

Nel Fănel

the real farmer aura

Zain Bali

This show was amazing when I started watching it, but went downhill the longer I watched from around ep ~15 or so.

.

I think the abridged is way better storywise

Blakii

only in s1 other seasons are good bro

Eric Surajbali

Probably too little to understand it kiddo it’s stayed consistent all the way through

Richard Wheeler

Yo Nick that OST is one of my favs: Luminous Sword. It's Asuna's theme!!

Burnzie79

Aincrad arc is good, but falls a bit flat at the end. Mother's Rosario arc is probably my favourite, simply because it doesn't really involve Kirito at all. Alfheim and Gun Gale, the story just seems to drag. I think I dropped SAO during the arc after MR.

Maxakari

Hooray, I like watching the shows I haven't seen in a long time, that I haven't lost interest in. I was interested in Slime, but after losing interest in the recent season, I just couldn't watch it again.

LetMeTalk

The reason I subscribed to the Patreon🔥

suffered101

personally i never liked the abridged

Rocked In

Damn 96 episodes is almost 2 years lol

Ainz

Excited to see how resistant you are before you arrive on Alicization

Alexander Anderson

This is the type of anime people have never seen know nothing about but have somehow herd everything that happens in it

dragon YT

Its a real test of patience till it gets to Alicization, but they really went all out with it. Love it or hate it, it was a really fun ending season.

CodTheFish

I love Nick for watching shows people will actively pray on their downfall mainly sao and boruto both shows have amazing moments and he is giving it a chance which is more than most will do

Logan G

pretty sure the english dub version also has the same voice actor for inosuke and kirito

Shawn Krick-Smith

It's Bryce Papenbrook - he's also the VA for Melodias

Vincent Jones

It's so fucking funny to me how hard people try to convince themselves that SAO is bad. like your chat was to you and even comments in this video are. Yeah, it has a shitty second arc. Show me a mult-arc anime that doesn't have at LEAST one bad arc. Jojo has like *mostly* bad arcs, and people adore that show.
