The most well-known example of this is Martin Billany/LittleKuriboh’s Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series.

I’m here to talk about SAO Abridged, by YouTube channel Something Witty Entertainment.įor those of you who are unfamiliar with the concept, an abridged series is when a show (usually an anime)’s original dialogue is removed and replaced to make the show funnier. However, I’m not here to talk about SAO proper – there are plenty of reviews that have done that already. I’m well aware of the franchise’s flaws, but I have noticed a genuine improvement in Kawahara’s writing as the series progresses. Some love the series, while others despise it. As I said before, SAO has proved a divisive topic for the anime community. However, while the premise of SAO is very interesting, the execution…well, it leaves something to be desired. Essentially, if you die in the game, you die for real. What’s more, the Nervegear – the virtual reality headsets used to play SAO – are rigged so that if the players’ HP hits 0, or anyone tries to remove the Nervegear, the device will emit a powerful microwave pulse that will kill them. The game’s creator, Kayaba Akihiko, informs them that no player will be able to log out until all one hundred floors of the game are cleared.
However, when the game’s first ten thousand players log in, they discover that they cannot log out. The series is set in the near future, and kicks off on the launch day of the world’s first virtual reality massively multiplayer online role-playing game (VRMMORPG), Sword Art Online. Ever since the series took the anime world by storm in 2012, Sword Art Online – or SAO for short – has proven to be one of the most popular, yet divisive anime of the 21 st century.įor the unacquainted, SAO is based on a series of light novels by Reki Kawahara. If you’re ever amongst anime fans and are looking to start an argument, saying those three words is your best bet.
