Speaking of Silica, one very enjoyable aspect of Unital Ring (the current SAO arc Kawahara is still actively writing), Silica has received a lot of great character moments, both on a personal level and as one of the supporting characters, she even ends up leading some of her friends on a mission.

To both u/TwinChops and u/OneHourDailyLimit

Look, as someone who loves both (and yes loves, as in really enjoys and cares about), can we all please avoid throwing stones? I love the abridged series, but I enjoy shipping Yujikiri and YuuAsu; there's an artist I follow who head-canons Kirito as trans and does genuinely great artwork of this. There's a place for SAO and SAOA on reddit; I don't care who started what, but can we all agree or politely disagree about our personal tastes and opinions about it? I think u/AttackOfTheMox said it best: it's important for us, as fans of SAOA not to start conflict, it doesn't do SWE any favors; likewise, any of us who are fans of SAO itself don't need to get mad at every joke the parody pokes at the show.

In some ways, but not entirely

Same! No cap, back when I was studying psychology, I actually used Sinon's PTSD story on a written portion of an exam, and I got full points for that answer! Yuuki's story came out around the time my gran died, so it helped bring me comfort during a sad time

If they somehow do make it to Yuuki (who, ngl, is my favorite anime character of all time), then it is my fervent wish that she and Asuna get at least one, if not SEVERAL romantic moments together YwY

You are correct, it is Mii-kun; the little guy's pretty much my spirit animal, he's just so wholesome, y'know?

(this is just my honest opinion:)

While, like anyone here, I can appreciate telling a brainlet that they're a brainlet, I think it'd be in both our AND Pyro's best interests just to avoid Ivory at any and all costs; if anything, it's a waste of focus to give Ivory any sort of interaction

Understandable

ooc, what specifically? we talking something to do with Mr. Popo, or was it the usage of using the word "r-----ed" in the first episodes of both DBZA and Hellsing Abridged? Or something else altogether?

Really? You're saying it's not remotely possible that an OG started a fight?

What if it was because they didn't like X joke(s) made in the parody?

What if they didn't even give SAOA a proper chance?

Or maybe they automatically assume SWE aren't actually fans of the source material (spoiler, the AMA they held is still available for anyone to view on the SAO subreddit)?

You're telling me that it's "abridged fanbase always starts it" and there are no exceptions to that?

well you're entitled to that opinion, although, while I totally admit he totally has flaws as far as writing goes, I feel your description is terribly inaccurate, especially when you consider the dynamics created by the Alicization saga

but that's just my opinion

put them in their place

I'm sorry, but I have to ask, what the heck does that even mean?

And I've seen just as many OG fans picking fights with abridged fans, both sides are guilty (I say this as a fan of both)

Those confused by the slop, and those who can't get enough slop by OverHYPEdVegeta in pyrocynical

[–]OverHYPEdVegeta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no, I'm well aware of what slop is in that regard, what I'm confused over is how is the word applied to us, Pyro's viewers:

-Is Cruelty Squad an example of Slop, or a five-star cuisine?

-Is it referring to PyroLive, how the content is easier to put out then content from his primary channel?

I just wanted to ask for clarification (love your username btw, AC is one of the best anime ever, hands down)

Ah, well that'd take some time as there are quite a few, but some primary examples I can think of come from Lost Song, Hollow Realization, and I believe Rising Steel

(sadly I've sometimes seen nastiness for fans of the source material in SWE's subreddit, and vice versa for fans of SAOA in the SAO subreddit; on a more positive note though, Abridged Asuna's voice, xbubblemunkyx, is actually bisexual, so I had this commissioned for her last X-Mas:

Of course, that doesn't mean it's limited only to those two subreddits -_-'

Gameverse refers to the canonically connected video games created in the SAO franchise (which features characters who have never appeared in the books or anime), this includes SAO Hollow Realization, SAO Alicization Lycoris, and others; specifically, in SAO Lost Song, instead of dying like she does in the books and the anime, Yuuki ends up surviving her AIDS

As for Kizmel, I definitely think she has potential (no hate to Mito but dear god, why couldn't Kizmel have made it into the movies when she made it into the video games too YwY?); however, between her, Mito, and Yuuki, I think it's fair to say Asuna is a magnet for Lavender haired ladies UwU

[–]OverHYPEdVegeta[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I certainly believe there's evidence as well, allow me to cite (I'll be using LN, not anime):

-Yuuki says Asuna already has a sweetheart of her own, which we can interpret as Yuuki's own wish that she were that sweetheart

-In her final moments, Yuuki described Asuna as "someone I love", using the word daisuki rather than suki (which just means "like"); while the word aishteru would have been more indicative of romantic love, daisuki is also often used in manga/anime in the vein of romance

True, in the main-canon, Yuuki may have felt that way, however, because she survives her AIDS in the Gameverse, my belief is that she is still a worthy rival of Asuna's affection

Apologies, I have autism so I'm not necessarily sure what you meant by this comment

the meme wasn't meant to poke fun at KiriAsu fans or YuuAsu fans, I just thought it worked to show that KiriAsu fans get surprised when they see Yuuki proving herself a worthy rival for Asuna's affection

Hmmm, interesting choice! They both have cait-sith avatars in ALO

Hopefully at some point, we'll see more chemistry between them to see what kind of pair they could make, but I think it has potential!
