Sword Art Appreciation - Anime Thread

[Baegal]

I honestly don't understand what people like about Brotherhood. There's too many characters, none of them are developed very well and it was hard for me to care about anything that was happening. It's "cool" sometimes I guess? That's about it though...

whaaaaaat?
Are you saying compared to the original, or just as a standalone anime?

I could understand if you said you didn't like it and the orignial as a series (to each its own), but I think Brotherhood is muuuch better than from what I've seen of the original version.


As for brotherhood itself though, I really got attached to the characters. Maybe not with every character (because frankly a lot of them didn't need to have that much of a spotlight, so I wasn't overly bothered by lack of characterization, because they were just that--supporting characters), but I really loved the connection with Ed/Al and trying to get Al's body back. I mean I have a twin brother, so maybe it's just that, but I really loved how that part was done
