i'm finally watching Sword Art Online.... when it first came out i Refused because it was so ridiculously popular

i was still playing Aura Kingdom then, and the game got Kirito and Asuna skins

looking at it i'm like, how the fuck does this have 100+ episodes

i just got done with the first season, i think? and started the next? its hard to tell, i watched 13

binged several episodes because i couldn't sleep

i can see how folks got so attached to the characters

and then there's some that i'd like to personally kick off the top of the tower.

o ok, apparently the first season was 25 eps

and came out in 2012

i'm not spoilering myself i'm just sitting here wondering what i got myself into

all I know is "similar premise to .hack?" and that it's Steph's fave

i have not seen that either

folks get locked in til someone clears the big bad at the 100th floor of the tower, and if you die in game you die in rl

oh and the gm played dirty and outed everyone's real appearances, so any dudes playing as girls for the gold digging were outed immediately lol
