So then you two are implying it's Shounen?
First of all, the novel is Seinen, the anime imo is shounen. Second of all School Days is a bad anime. Only the last episode was probably maybe good enough to say it was worth watching. Like someone said. School days is insanely overrated. Well thought out? Omfg have you actually paid attention to the anime? The mass dislike it for a reason. YOU just have different/no tastes.
If you don't enjoy anime where protag is helping people, then you pretty much barely have much anime to go by. Kirito is actually doing most things because he cherishes life, not because he wants to help people. He knows he can't save everyone. He moreso reminds me of Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin. He simply cannot ignore the people that are in trouble IN FRONT of him. Another example is he dislikes it when other people would kill another person, in this case, another person that is also trapped in their world. For example, he pretty much "used" Silica to the PVP guild that was killing people off for their items.
The anime itself is very high. Especially high compared to the shitty anime that have been coming out. This season is actually pretty good compared to the last 2-4 seasons. SAO has a plot, MULTIPLE Character development with a plus being caused by actual DEATH. It's unique on its own and has lessons that you may obviously be blind to.
Episode 6 was HONESTLY a very good episode. What, you hate this show cuz it doesnt have enough action or something? lolol Should study on some anime instead of just using personal preference.
And lastly, SAO overrated? HA. The majority of people who watch SAO already had interest in it because of the LN. If anything they DISLIKE the anime because they left out so much stuff.
