I really couldn't get into SAO. I only made it to episode 12-ish until I just kind of got sick of it and the episodes started to seem really, really repetitive. Soul Eater was hilarious, and Attack on Titan was amazing on so many levels. I recently watched the Monogatari series and really, really enjoyed it. I'm trying to find something with the same sort of style as Monogatari, but I'm finding it a little difficult.
Was episode 12 about the time they got out of Aincrad, or before it? That's when I got kinda bored with it. However, I pressed though it; and while it was an enjoyable show, I was really not up for watching any of the sequels.
Ah it must have been fairly early on then. I half-watch quite a few anime. They were still in Aincrad and every episode was just Kirito saving one girl after the other. I was watching them as they came out and it just didn't seem like something worth waiting for a new episode. Some of my friends later on were talking about them turning into fairies or something? It just seemed too ridiculous at that point so I knew I wasn't going back to it.
