amazing concept that starts out brilliant and quickly devolves

into typical romantic and dramatic fair.

i was vastly dissapointed by both seasons of this show. they started out getting me so into the world and what was happening only to end things fairly quick and then end with several episodes of drama and bs.

its just such a shame that they could ruin a perfectly good concept like that. whats even more dissapointing is the fact that the second season mirrored the first in terms of plot progression.

not to mention the pervy fanboy service. i typically don't put boy right after fan because thats a bit sexist but in this matter its accurate. okay so cleavage is obviously a common thing in anime but multiple female characters fawning over the lead? an incestuous side-plot? and the lead is indifferent to all of it.

the love between him and asuna begins so pure and awesome as they're both fighters but then they quickly turn her into a damsel in distress and then in season two pretty much disregard her completely for a new female co-lead.

does anyone agree? or disagree? lets discuss this
