I caught up on SAO and this part of WoW is probably the worst SAO season

The dialogue is BEYOND cheesy and it clearly tries to tackle themes that Reki Kawahara just isn't knowledgeable enough about or capable of competently tackling so he just defaults to pretentious platitudes
In other news, remember Heathcliff? Well, this is him now:

Yes, he turned into the terminator for some reason
Everyone still loves Kirito, nothing new.
The distorted sounds are bearable (but still bad) until episode 20 in that fight scene. They had like a 10-20 second exchange without dialogue and I could just feel it ruthlessly assaulting my ears. The sound design is bad.

IT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE LIGHT SABERS LIKE PPL ARE SAYING
- Extreme lack of maturity with their handling of artificial intelligence and really didn't properly convey the scale and sociological implications of such a sudden discovery/invention.
This does not look like SAO (not necessarily a complaint, just an observation)
I truly hope they commit to killing off Eugeo because that was one of the best parts of Alicization and it'll be cheap af and leave a bad taste in my mouth if he just comes back. I know the theme of souls and such is the core of Alicization but I still don't like stuff like this:
These were cool
The worst SAO season is between this and S2. This *may* have slightly worse writing.

It has better visuals than S2 but worse sound design so that about cancels out (since S2's visuals were still good).

Don't trust people that are saying that SAO is suddenly amazing, it isn't.
