An I the only one who remembers Digimon, the og 90s Isekai?
Real OGs remember the Mark Twain's 1889 Isekai, "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court."
SAO is only the best in the context of a great idea that was largely wasted in execution.
The abridged series is a substantially better execution than the original.
I was gonna say, I haven't watched a ton of anime, but I started watching SAO once and hated it.
Log Horizon was better.
I believe you mean is.
The manga is still running, no reason to assume we won't get more anime as well
Yo this is the best one too!
Pretty sure I asked for a suit of their armor for Christmas, guess my dumbass thought it was real
Wait, is SAO the reason so much isekai follows video game rules?
No, Spy Kids is, didn't you look at the meme?
Nah, a lot of that's coincidence with Litrpg becoming popular around the same time that isekai started taking over western webfiction. It's also why there's roughly half a million litrpg "system apocalypse" stories where the isekai comes to Earth instead.
Familiar of zero and likely countless others released decades before sao…
Okay, but what about Tron?
I never really thought of that movie in ages, was the first 3d movie I've ever watched, I loved it. I never though about comparing it to SAO or Log Horizon. It's interesting to think about
