[@gabrielpds93]

FINALLY! You're in for a wild ride, Neel, I absolutely love this anime

[@iwantoeatsweet]

I'm sure he'd be happy to hear the sound of the fight.

[@madszn]

An anime classic, I pray you get to alicization. Such an insane arc with so much quality

[@yuuichi949]

I wonder If Neel knew about Llenn

[@She-Devil94]

I mean I liked Gungale online and Mothers Rosario a lot as well. And the others are not bad either. I have my hopes up that he will make it to Alicalization 😁

[@kallistikaleid]

Alicization is a must. If someone started SAO, but didn't complete the series, they could not call themselves an anime reacter.

[@yuuichi949]

@@kallistikaleid agree 👍

[@lorenzrafaelpitogo6433]

I'm sure he will like it cause he's a fan of Bleach and there is Bleach references in that arc like the abilities of s*ords

[@NanoRyuusei]

OH YES LET'S GOOOOOOO !

[@taylakawailani]

So real

[@guiller1]

Bring me! 😂

[@jaykayy4268]

YEAHHHHH

[@funtastic9401]

LINKO STARTO !!!

[@sekage_2854]

Always have chills on the end of episode 1 when kirito is screaming. Hope you enjoy the show long enough, because every season is just better and better, till the alicization arc ✨

[@TheNarutobis]

No, it's not xd I can agree that alicization is one of the better seasons but the rest is just mid at best so don't lie to him :D

[@sekage_2854]

@@TheNarutobis I really like the 1 half of season 1 and whole season 2. The alfheim arc is my least favorite. Just my opinion, i'm not lying, im just saying what i think 👍

[@TheNarutobis]

@@sekage_2854 mate you can like the worst shit in the world that's just your liking and that's great . I know that Sao is not a very good show but I still like it and watch every new season . For me after aincard arc everything goes down , gun gale had its moments but overall wasn't very great everything after that for me was so bad I don't remember half of what happened and then alicization came and I was surprised cause it was quite good of course war of the underworld was very underwhelming compere to alicization, but at least we've got Anima opening so there's always something to like :D

[@b-lotus5145]

Top SAO seasons: 1: Alicization 2: Season 1 (Aincrad)) 3: Season 2 (The shooting game) The rest can't compare

[@sekage_2854]

@@b-lotus5145 I agree.

[@manilafolder283]

So glad you enjoyed the first episode! Looking forward to future reactions.

[@San_d_alphone]

Kirito is a loner and prefers to solo grind because if he fights monsters with teammates, the Exp is then split and shared with everyone is his group. Where as if he beats a monster alone he gets all the exp himself thus making him stronger alomg the line. Fun facts : - The creator said his goal was to create and control his own world,so it sounds like he has a god complex, villain role of ruling the world lol. On that note,please remember the name Akihiko Kayaba,it will come in handy in future. - In sao they feel the cut, they react to it as it shuffles their local nerves but it doesn't hurt.

[@Kiri-Max]

I cried when you reacted to the openings because of so many nice memories I share with this show

[@amisedai942]

I love this story so much❤

[@raimura4776]

The anime that got me into Anime, it has ups and downs imo, but overall it's not bad, especially the last 2 arc were the best ones for me, still one of my favorites. I watched this when this was airing back then.. damn that's like.. almost 11 years ago I'm so old lmao

[@syaifulhuda479]

same haha.. after i have seen sao.. AoT came out hahaa

[@admiral2430]

same bruh, that era 2012-13 is golden and now i'm still waiting/wish some company make real nervegear 😅

[@kokuutou92]

Lets gooooo Neel it's kinda refreshing to see someone watching the first ep of an anime over a decade old. As an MMORPG fan, S1 is definitely my favorite.

[@duckers0123]

have you watched all the other seasons

[@rafliirfanhaikal6526]

I love it when you paused the video first instead talking over when the video's playing.. so we can hear your thought clearly.

[@r3nvoid]

Just checked the playlist and you really watched the ENTIRE Series. I’m gonna rewatch this along with you

[@Kayleenv18]

The SAO journey begins!!! I think you’ll really enjoy this series, there’s so much that happens

[@xyrilandreimirador3483]

YESSSS AYOOOO looking forward on your journey in this series

[@vanshdeepsharma]

Awesome reaction.... I hope this series does well on yt.. please. I so much want you to continue this🙂🔥

[@Shiirow]

the term isekai literally just means "another world" which a game world falls under that umbrella. its a very broad term like most anime genre's.

[@beyonder7300]

Has it been that long? this is my first anime and what got me into anime itself. Im glad youre reacting to it!

[@Achhe.]

Less gooo. Can't wait to watch this series along with you all

[@dezember25th]

0:46 Alway gotta point out that Klein was in the news for waiting outside the store multiple nights 😂

[@oneforrall]

Back in 2015 I was so hype waiting for 2022 to come.. I'm glade we actually able to produce a virtual chat game

[@tommyfa]

Random fact: Kirito/MC voice actor share the same voice with Cid's friend who likes gambling in eminence in shadow...

[@therandomcorndog6185]

ISSEKAI is being transported to another world this does actually fall into the category. even if it is a video game world.

[@michaelloyola4082]

this anime was released in 2012 and just celebrated their 10th anniversary.

[@yuuichi949]

Recently they celebrate one of our precious heroines's Birthday

[@silvervibranium2832]

glad to have another join SAO. I'll always give ya a like. =] Hope you enjoy the journey!

[@gaze4348]

LETS GOOOO, THE ANIME THAT MADE ME BECOME ADDICTED TO ANIME

[@lelouchvibritannia8172]

In the novel it is explained that when the nerve gear is unplugged it needs some time to destroy your brain. The battery's function is to give it the time to do it. Moreover if someone tries to open the nerve gear or manipulate it, this also triggers the microwave

[@Dudefable]

As weird as it may sound, all I can say is Thank you for watching this anime.

[@Diaster147]

I really cant wait until he gets to sao alicization and war of underworld. The animation and fights are peak

[@grantharriman284]

There is a public announcement not to attempt to remove the NerveGear, but several people die precisely by having people attempt to remove their NerveGear either before hearing the announcement or disregarding it.

[@somestuff8127]

After finishing season 1 I recommend watching the SAO Progressive movies next.

[@phantomkushx3571]

Let's gooooo🔥🔥🔥 You're in for a good, emotional, rollercoaster of epic story. This series got me in anime💯

[@idkwutnam3]

yes, u FINALLY REACT TO IT

[@Safe2Get]

SAO Progressive has 2 movies out atm, its a remake of the first arc rewritten by the manga author, with whole new context and characters. Worth a watch after

[@rafliirfanhaikal6526]

2012, but dayum the quality... never dissapoint

[@WeareCreative360]

on November 6th 2022(our time), all us SAO fans kinda celebrated the launch of SAO. there was even a broadcast from the writer and japanese voice actors from the show that discussed about the show and their memories. just wait till 2024 comes!

[@sac701]

KEEP WATCHING TO THE END, U WONT REGRET IT

[@Yabooijohnny]

goat series people may hate on it but i love this series enjpyed every episode especally when we get to see more of asuna

[@NateSATheLegend]

I've looked at the battery thing like this, in our computers there's a c22 battery used to power the cmos and bios even when the internal laptop battery is removed. This way base functions aren't reset, and system clocks aren't messed up. But, a cmos style batter probably isn't strong enough to zap your brain. However, the system uses capacitors, which are battery banks used in computers to temporarily store and release massive wattage. So, even if they unplug the system, the cmos battery which controls basic bios functions could send a message to dump all the stored wattage in the capacitors and that would certainly be enough to fry a brain. SAOA is still better though :)

[@San_d_alphone]

Ahh the long wait is over,here comes SAO reaction. Neel you're in for a ride,it's not a masterpiece by any means but it will definitely show u a different side of the ISEKAI genre. This show is what made the shift in anime to having so many isekei made every year. Before this one,isekei was a rare thing that was new and exciting, the popularity of sao affected isekei like twilight effected vampires. It made so many people try copy it till the genre became as saturated as its criticised for but this is the og of the hype for isekels. Also,it's one of the most successful if not the most commercially successful isekai show.

[@seruios2731]

I think it's masterpiece

[@San_d_alphone]

@@seruios2731 To each their own bud,i personally love SAO and it's one of the few shows that i don't like comparing with others.

[@OnlyVol]

Cant Wait For More reactions from this show! The entire anime is a great journey!

[@syahrezfr]

Please continue this series till the end, it's hard to find SAO reaction on KZbin these day lol

[@musadiqfarid3783]

i am SO excited for you to start this journey, genuinely one of my favorite anime and i know you will enjoy it

[@LUFFY-om4sw]

I recommend just watching the anime instead of being uncomfortable and watching it it’s like an anime where you can watch in the night alone on tv

[@anormaldude127]

this man: VR is hype this man: "react to first episode" this man: never mind, I play games on my computer instead

[@Kitsuism913]

a new person reacting to SAO! instant sub from me, as someone who grew up with sao, i love watching others on their journey through this anime also sao ruined my hopes for vr in the future when i was little LMAO

[@bryanneal939]

I would live in this virtual world. With the good and bad.

[@concept3705]

He finally started it!! Lezgoo!!

[@glaedrmordordragonrider2501]

Yeeeeees you will love it! Please continue !

[@andress-rn2mo]

Do you remember voice actor of Es Nodt from bleach(quincy Who defeated byakuya)? Its the same va who voiced Kirito. I think this is amazing diference

[@joackim0058]

the reason he didn't want more party members is because the xp and loot gets shared so it would hinder his progress

[@yashchoudhary99]

U won't regret starting this anime...this will only get better...ALOTTTT BETTER ❤❤

[@joec2078]

The headset has a battery but they can't just let the battery run dry. It'll zap the brain before that happens. Also, something happens in the LN after the end of episode one that doesn't get put into the anime. Kirito meets up with another beta tester who had the same idea of getting ahead of the other players. They team up to do a quest which requires killing some oversized mushroom like monsters. The issue is, if not handled correctly, they give out a scream that attracts all the others nearby (Watch the first of the Progressive series to see the quest). The other beta tester sets Kirito up to get caught in one of the screams but Kirito manages to turn it around causing the other guy to get overwhelmed and die. This gives Kirito both guilt and trust issues. It's a major character development that really needed to be in the anime.

[@outstraw9015]

just started a rewatch. Gonna rewatch along with your journey!

[@yuuichi949]

Neel,you won't regret watching SAO 👍👍 It's not isekai,to be precisely it's science fiction

[@HazzySW1]

It's wasted potential is what it is 😂

[@shimon458]

@@HazzySW1 TRUE

[@yuuichi949]

At least SAO gave some similar anime ideas.

[@San_d_alphone]

Wdym it's not an isekai,it is an ISEKAI. Man u guys r so annoying. At least look it up somewhere or can do a simple google search u knoe.

Neel, welcome to the floating castle, Aincrad! 100 floors, each one different than the last!

[@ricardojones1000]

When I 1st saw this anime I felt the same way.

[@gabecajamarca]

Sweet. FYI there’s some things u should know. After S1, watch SAO Extra Edition. And after Season 2, watch the movie: Ordinal scale. EDIT: There’s also a 12 episode spin-off series, it’s not relevant to the main series but set in the same universe. SAO Alternative: Gun Gale online U don’t need to watch it for SAO. But if u do watch it, it would be in after s2 part 1. Kinda takes place at around the same time as season 2 part 3. Just for reference

[@yuuichi949]

What about Llenn part?

[@gabecajamarca]

@@yuuichi949 fair point, but it’s not necessary or relevant to the characters at all. I don’t hate it but that spin-off has no real added value, I did love the music. Reo-na is great

[@gabecajamarca]

@@yuuichi949 u r right tho. So I’ll add it

[@Khunterrace]

Ya see, Its hard to find SAO reactions so, you doing it kinda puts a smile on my face lol.
