Saw it at the used games store and couldn’t resist.

Alright guess I got to back up my claims:
Part 1of season 1 felt rushed, felt like it should've been longer trapped in the world but went 'and let's just skip it to they all get out now'
Part 2 of season 1 introduced the sister who loves her brother but acts like she doesn't, they then pull the 'it's ok turns out we're cousins' then there's the main guy who had to make him seem like a wannabe rapist then just stick with the valid 'experimenting with deep dive VR to affect people mentally' and possibly marrying to use her for corporate gain.
Season 2 starts better, has a PTSD storyline along with what happened to those that killed people in the game when returned to reality but then kinda ruined it for me with the 'mc op, he can cut bullets!'
Part 2 was a lot better for idea of someone with terminal illness using VR as an escape, that was very well written.
Haven't watched Alicitzation but from everyone I trust in their recommendations, it's good so might catch it later. I stand by that SAO Abridged is doing season 1 better just because they feel even better as characters BECAUSE they're all assholes.
As for Isakai, it actually hit a bit of a trench thanks to SAO as many rushed to copy so got stuff like 'In another world with my Smartphone' and the like. It's hitting it's peak now thanks to stuff like Mushoku Tensei and even Reincarnated as a Slime to the chill things I watch now like Farming in another world. SAO did get it more attention but it took years for it to hit it's stride.
I go by story arc. Arc 1 = Aincrad. Arc 2 = Fairy shit. Arc 3 = Gun gay. Arc 4 = Alicization.
I assumed the "season" numbers followed the arcs but I guess not. I was shitting on the Fairy Arc and Gun gay online because I thought those arcs were pretty dumb. And yes the whole "sister tryina fuck" fetish shit is cringe, and the main villain was over the top.
It has dumb shit in it but from a technical perspective it's the best season, though it's 47 episodes and basically half the total. It feels like the author put in more effort.
I can't stand the main character's voice. It's a grown ass man who sounds like someone just kicked a baby in the balls.
I really liked Hellsing Abridged, though. Goblin Slayer abridged is also good based on the MC's voice actor alone.
My GF hates Mushoku Tensei because the MC acts like a sex offender. He doesn't do anything IRL but his thoughts have really creepy hentai shit sometimes so she got disgusted with him and was like "fuck this guy". It didn't help that the show played up the "haha it's a middle aged man in a little boy's body who can totally fuck lolis 'his own age' and get away with it!" angle.
Most isekai are filler trash but they're the best filler trash. Most anime trash is unwatchable for me, but isekai trash is at least watchable because they come up with magic systems, combat mechanics, etc. Most of it is bad but sometimes there are interesting ideas.
