Anime friends!
Added 2024-04-04 06:48:59 +0000 UTCSuper duper quick one today y'all (shouts to Tyler for the idea!), but I was wondering what you guys thought about something.
So really random, but when they first aired, I watched the first 3 arcs of Sword Art Online. SAO was one of my really first animes (starting from the Aincrad arc) and it wasn't FIRST first, but it was like 5th or 6th.
I've been wanting to catch the newer seasons since Gun Gale Online onwards on and off for a few years, and whilst I've considered reacting to these seasons, I've always kind of pushed it aside because for anyone who hadn't seen SAO, it wasn't like a 'journey', I'd just be pulling people into SAO without context so to speak. I'd also always assumed people wouldn't ever be down to watch stuff I might have seen / remember over here.
Maybe the answer lies in the intention? Like, I'd never re-react to something let alone pass it off as a 'first time thing', but I do know that there are 1000% some things I've watched super mindlessly before that I'd like to rewatch with more attention and the right vibes, but I'd always assumed because it's not the "first", then people wouldn't be interested?
So basically, similar to what I did with JJK S1 ahead of the movie and Season 2, I was curious as to whether people would be interested in / would still watch reactions for something I saw a while ago but don't remember suuuuper well? Like don't get me wrong, it's been like 6 years since I've seen SAO, but I have always wondered a bit as to whether or not anyone would ever be down to watch those first few arcs over here with me when the time was right (not anytime soon lmao).
This isn't just for SAO, but say anything like even Haikyuu!, and some other anime I've seen but either binged during covid super mindlessly or watched forever ago and left partway through.
Just curious!
I know I've asked some similar things recently re: "would you still watch my reactions to Frieren / Solo Leveling / Apo Diaries if I read ahead?" and a lot of people have expressed they would because there'd be value, but I'd definitely be curious about this!
I don't know, I thought this could be fun to have certain series' over here and to talk about things I never have been able to before with a more 'analytical' mindset, but maybe that's just me lmao.
Let me know below! Any and all thoughts always appreciated <3

Solo Leveling gives me SAO vibes so much but I couldn't put my finger on it until you brought it up during the first couple episodes. While some give unnecessary hate to SAO for the fan service or might just not like Kirito for whatever reason, I really enjoyed the show. I watch your content for the vibes & analysis on aspects of the shows and would love your take on SAO despite you watching it years ago.
