What I loved about this so much is that it was such a different take on how these usually go they focused on giving it a more realistic way to solve problems making it feel more like they are actually humans trapped and not some being of UNLIMITED POWER who solves all problems with blowing everything up
@@r0und603 Indeed, it's why it's my #1 Isekai hands down. There is no other like it, and takes a real take on if humans 'actually' went into a Game World that became real, where just being strong wasn't enough to solve most solutions, and bring in conflicts most anime will never touch. For example, the Item Descriptions becoming real, or NPCs now being humans and their dynamic to the 'players', and so on. Many situations never touched by other animes, that are much more fascinating and interesting.
Two relevant clarifications for those who may not know the series: "Tasty food": After becoming part of the game, the former players discovered that all food tasted like unflavored rice cakes and all drinks like water. This applied to all foods created by class abilities and all foods produced by the "natives". Nyanta, a trained cook whose character was also skilled in cooking, was able to produce food that actually had a perceptible flavor to the players. "Can't escape": A guild master has power over all doorways in the guild's headquarters. Dodge as she might, Akatsuki couldn't open any doors without the approval of the guild master who was trying to dress her up. Important side note: In _Elder Tale_ , it was possible for players to purchase in-game real estate. If this area included the Cathedral (the local respawn point), it was possible for players to be banned from respawning there. When _Elder Tale_ was just a game, this was merely annoying -- you had to contact a Game Master to be moved to a new Cathedral. With no more GMs to manage this, being banned from a respawn point became an effective death sentence.
i really want to see an anime/manga of this style where a modern person is in a game world, except the MC had previously hacked/modded the game resulting in unstable abilities that go against the rules and balance of the game
You should check out the .Hack// series. It's an anime from the early 2000s. It's a story split between a video game, manga, and anime series. But, the anime is still good. You might like it.
Try Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyusoukyoku but note that story takes a while to really get to the meat of the plot. The web novel is the best version IMO but there is a manga that covers the light novel version if I remember correctly.
We all have the right to like terrible anime but we need to agree with each other here and realize we would rather watch SAO... and that's saying something
I have to confess, I often use these recap videos to find older anime that I missed out on watching. Other times a recap is a great way to get the gist of a low tier anime without actually sitting through the whole thing. I fear this means I watch the full video for the bad anime, and go watch the good anime directly. I sure do hope I'm not accidentally promoting the low tier anime recaps in the eyes of the algorithm. Thanks for doing these regardless.
Yeah. I would much rather spend 25 minutes to learn that a show is fucking garbage than spend 3 23-minute episodes finding that out. Saves me a ton of time.
Anime really has a thing about shows where characters are trapped in a video game world. This one doesn't seem so bad since from what small research I've done players respawn so it's not like some of those anime where death in-game equals death for real, I hate that premise especially when done on mass and the players are basically forced to kill or be killed. It's one reason why once I read the basic plot of hunger games I decided to never watch it I don't care how highly reviewed it is, I just hate the premise.
I loved this anime, it’s sooo good…….although, I do have to admit, Minori was annoying as hell, she’s a kid (in game and in real life) Shiroe is a grown ass man, plus everyone loves Akstsuki, and she loves Shiroe, Minori doesn’t stand a chance and she should know that….and she’s a fucking child, enough said dammit
@@Shadowlurkering Agreed, lol. I know growing up I had at least one puppy love on a older person. Really though my enjoyment of her character is summed up to the one line she speaks at the end, "and you're okay with that!?" How many adults would have taken his words at face value and not dug further? Leave it to a kid to point out that just because he expected it didn't mean he was actually okay with it. It was a very "out of the mouth of babes" moment.
Honestly, that was more of a rant because I wanted Shiroe to be with Akatsuki and Minori kept getting in the way which annoyed me. If you imagine being in your late teens/early 20s and you and this other girl around your age have a kind of thing, a connection, and this 12 yr old girl keeps jamming herself in between you, you’d think “yes kid, I get it, you have a crush, but your literally a child, it’s never going to happen”
I believe they do because at the beginning Shiroe had problems adjusting to his body because it was taller than his original self and Akatsuki too having a male avatar
7:21: "Through telepathy, Serara informs Marielle that she is safe with Dhiroya and friends while leaving the guild master to tears." Did you mean to pronounce tears that way?
@@WaitinInAmber yeah. It's probably a custom one. You can recognize them by their lack of breathing. Normal humans stop to take a breath every now and then.
Close your eyes, girl Hold me tight, girl Up here no path will be denied ! You don't know what we can find Why don't you come with me, little girl On a magic GRIFFIN ride...
