SAO makes me sad because I remember watching the first half of the first season and being so excited. And then it pretty much devolved into KIRITO IS THE BEST MANLY MAN GAMER EVER HE IS GONNA SAVE EVERYTHING EVER and ugh.

Will never not be bitter with what they did to Asuna.

(Also, totally agree about Free!)

The first season (up to episode 12 or whatever - technically half a season... first arc, whatever) had such strong potential. I don't feel like it was well done, though. Each episode had a time jump, introduced new harem girls for Kirito, and while some fun mechanics of the world were introduced they still weren't fully explored. But the concept was exciting, especially not knowing if people who died there actually died in the real world, what was happening to their bodies, etc.

If I were writing it, I would've focused exclusively on the first arc, stretched it out into a full series and eliminated the time jumps. I would've made it more ambiguous as to what was happening in the real world - maybe some characters think they'll just "wake up", or that time isn't passing in the real world, people might not actually be dying, etc. Then, Kirito waking up in a hospital at the end would've been more of a shocking twist, because it's what you didn't want to believe, but suspected in your gut. I would've made it less haremy, and focused more on Asuna being a badass, and given her pants. I would've included "real world" flashbacks for Kirito put more emphasis on comparing the two worlds, and maybe Kirito's inability to succeed in the real world.

Kind of a ramble, but I loved so much about the concept of the show, and just felt it missed the boat at almost every turn. There were some cute parts, but most of it was annoyingly wasteful. And I couldn't even get through the second arc of the first season, too much embarrassment...
