WHY MUST YOU HATE SWORD ART ONLINE

Sigh.

So basically I was scrolling around the internet when I realized...
SAO GETS SO MUCH HATE.
To be honest I'm actually part of this hate and it is not the best anime, but this was one of the first anime I had ever watched so, it holds a special place in my heart. Sure the romance is a bit forced (in my opinion) and the story line is also a bit rushed as we move from floor 4 to 50 in two episodes and before we know it, it has been two years. But, if we look past all the logical flaws, we are comparing this to other anime as we go. Perhaps you are judging the action, and in return simply compare it to Attack on Titan, or look at the romance and immediately compare it to Ouran HighSchool Host Club. It will be worse than those two in your opinion .

That's it.

YOUR OPINION.
Not only in Sword Art Online, but with other anime as well. We are always judging it and comparing it to other anime. Here's a good example, Boku No Pico. This anime is sexual and disturbing and watching only 6 minutes of one episode did it for me, but I read the synopsis afterward to see if I was missing out on anything. But no. Some people may like it. I am not completely sure why but they just do.
The same applies to Sword Art Online.

Some people may really like it, I somewhat like it but it still holds a dear place in my heart that makes me sad when people criticize it.

You know what makes a good anime/manga/any content really?

The fact that you like it.

Sure I criticize things and that is OKAY because I still like it and that is all that matters.

Tokyo Ghoul gets hate but I love it and that's all that matters.

If you like an anime that is all that it takes to be considered a good anime.

Just needed to rant a bit, Gomen'sai.
