>>89420142So there's absolutely nobody on /vt/ old enough to have been around when the first season of SAO aired (2012) since you're all zoomer fucks that have ruined this website. But SAO used to be extremely popular on /a/ when it first aired and even Kirito was liked. It was THIS moment however that it turned in I believe episode 6 that everything flipped on a dime. The Gary Stu nature of Kirito and the contrived plot ruined any semblance of cool that the anime had built up to that point.
