I love SAO, more than I hate Build Fighters

Bitch I saw SAOII, Ordinal Scale (my favorite), and both parts of Alicization

I'm strong enough to get through the series (I just haven't saw Progressive, Alternative, or Abridged (I'm avoiding that one like the plague))

    I'm just a rando online but I would say give Abridged a shot. It's clear that they understood the show and while they do poke fun, it's not just constantly shitting on it like I've seen from some abridged series. That said, Abridged Kirito is portrayed kinda like Donald Duck in that he's deliberately insufferable so that you laugh when he gets his comeuppance (which is frequent), so if you think that would be too much to power thru, just give it a pass then.

    I'm not a certified SAO hater but I did sour on it by myself after the Alfheim arc started so I loved what Abridged did to "fix" some of my issues with it, and it has a hella memorable ending to the Aincrad arc that actually uses the OP (This Is War by Thirty Seconds to Mars) for the climax.
