#Sword Art Online Abridged Parody

[incorrect-hs-quotes]

DAVE: listen i dont doubt your skills but maybe you and your goon squad should go home, take a nap, and leave all the fighting to the real asskickers around here

VRISKA: Nonsense! My Prospitian 8rigade does not know the meaning of the word “surrender”!

TAVROS: bUT WE’RE WILLING TO LEARN,,,

[teleportationmagic]

To SAOA:

What the fuck. what the everliving fuck. I am literally sobbing I cannot stop this - this was the funny series! You can't do this to me!

Like just ughhhhhhhh - Suguha and Kazuto becoming unaligned for just a moment, just a second of him going faster, farther than her - and her sticking in out! Trying so hard to reach out! And him not doing the same because he doesn't even notice, and that abandonment twisting under years and years and years, of feeling unwanted and unloved, and feeling safer when she's unbearable, because she cannot afford that vulnerability again. And then Kirito coming back, older and wiser and more willing to spend time on the people he loves because of SAO where he got so close to losing them, and her not being able to fix these two versions of him together because they aren't! They aren't the same person! But he can't tell her, can't show her how he's changed because she cannot let either one of them be soft around one another.

And from Kirito's side, all he sees is his relationship with his baby sister grow strained under the weight of years, of her slowly turning into something awful that he thinks hates him, because what else could there be? Literally what else?

And her still dragging him to the kendo mat years later, despite the fact that he hates it. That being literally the first scene of them together.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[jade-kyo]

Hey SAO abridged what the FUCK was THAT

[palaceofpassion]

KLTCH!  The sound of metal piercing flesh resonated through his ears, a smile split across his lips as his eyes peered through his daunting mask.  

Finally!  FINALLY THE DAY HAD COME!  He’d finally brought an end to Sienna Khan���s reign, the woman always having been unfit to rule the White Fang.  At this point, he would have started monologuing, praising himself for being a true Faunus, a prime alpha of their species.

Except, to his surprise, life still remained in her eyes.  He flinched, feeling a hand upon his shoulder.  

“Hah.  Giving your final breath?  Your last words?”  He mocked her, expecting her to curse him, a tingling feeling forming on the back of his neck as he prepared to savor every moment.

Yet the words to come out of her mouth were not what he expected.

The woman whispered into his ear, “Enjoy this while you can.”  There was a subtle hint of joy lacing her voice, “It’s the deepest you’ll ever be inside a woman.”  

His eyes widened, his words stuck in his throat.  Before he could respond with a whippy comeback, the last of her life force perished, leaving him standing there, alone... frustrated.

“Yeah well, you’re dead sooooo...”  He paused, as there was no one around to hear him, “DAMN IT!”  He cried into the high heavens, feeling as if he had wan the war, but lost a decisive battle.

Poor, little Adam.

Obey Me! Random Headcanon #7

The Brothers' Favorite Anime

Lucifer

Well-Known - SPY X FAMILY; he thinks it's cute and appreciates the sentiment of being able to live in a happy family despite the secrets hidden away. For obvious reasons, he relates to Loid the most.

More Obscure - THE CASE STUDY OF VANITAS; he likes the portrayal of vampires and likes to compare it to Bram Stoker's Dracula. His favorite character is Dominique de Sade, whom he refers to as "tragic and feisty."

Mammon

Well-Known - ONE PIECE; he's just one of those people that loves to scream "THE ONE PIECE IS REAAAALLLL" and likes the treasure-hunting aspect combined with the camaraderie.

More Obscure - BLUE EXORCIST; funny, right? He used to mock Satan every time his name popped up until the couch was destroyed. He thinks Rin is cool and argues with Lucifer all the time that he's better than Yukio.

Leviathan

Well-Known - SWORD ART ONLINE; Levi likes the concept more than the characters if he's honest, but he thinks Heathcliff is a total boss.

More Obscure - THE EMINENCE IN SHADOW; like many people who watch Isekai, Levi thinks the tropes start to get a little too copy-and-paste after a while, and he appreciates the parody. He loves Cid and goes into great detail to explain why the anime is genius.

Honorable mention - SAO ABRIDGED because Levi also loves it 10x more than the original even if it's fan-made.

Satan

Well-known - BLACK BUTLER; A revenge plot mixed up with detective stories and a cruel demon butler that loves cats? He vibes with Sebastian and would like him *just a little more* if Levi hadn't pointed out that he looks like Lucifer.

More Obscure - MORIARTY THE PATRIOT; it's Sherlock but anime; what more could he ask for? When asked who his favorite character is, he usually can't decide between the Moriarty's because he likes all of them for different reasons and usually says William by default.

Asmodeus

Well-Known - INUYASHA; Loves it for the romance and thinks Inuyasha and Kagome make a great couple. He even likes the "Inuyasha... Kagome... Inuyasha! ... Kagome!" moments.

More Obscure - KAGUYA-SAMA LOVE IS WAR; Wants to kiss half of the cast because they're beautiful and will sometimes yell at the screen when Shinomiya and Shirogane misunderstand each other (he ships it hard).

Beelzebub

Well-Known - VIOLET EVERGARDEN; he cries every single time, but he loves it because Violet reminds him of Lilith, and he likes how it has a hopeful ending.

More Obscure - FOOD WARS!; It's literally a cooking show, and he couldn't be happier. The fanservice often goes over his head until one of his brothers mumbles something about it, at which point he might feel embarrassed.

Belphegor

Well-Known - JUJUTSU KAISEN; he likes it because it's more on the dark side; his favorite character is Mahito and has remarked at least once that he thinks it would be fun to carry humans in his pocket like that (he said this specifically to scare you).

More Obscure - MAOU-JOU DE OYASUMI; he loves this series because it's all about his favorite past-time. He often writes down what Princess Suyaris says, muttering "wow, I never thought about doing that..."

-- Caramel: I have watched a lot of anime. It was difficult to narrow down a list of more than 80 to 14, but I hope you enjoyed! --

Vote, and pass it around

[eternitas]

i cant talk to anybody about this so i am SCREAMING this into the vpid

So. The newest episode of the Sword Art Online Abridged series is out.

And I watched it.

And now I have to reevaluate my life

The VAs for Suguha and Kirito nailed that so hard its gonna be able to support a 3 story structure. Holy shit.

Especially LennonDrake as Suguha. What the fuuuuuck, that was so good.

The writing was so on point, the timing was perfect and I am just---

I guess I am just amazed?

Being usually subjected to lazy jokes and subpar writing that tries to outsmart the watcher to pull a "wow you didnt see that coming huh?!" moment, no matter how stupid and unreasonable it is, and moments of characters being aweful to each other for a really bad punchline that isnt even funny but just cruel, i didnt expect a parody like that to... Be so well written. Yeah they already hit it out of the park with the first season but even there they kept it mostly lighthearted and slightly cynical. And this time they just... Didnt. And for the better of it.

I grew up an only child. But from some point in my life i gained something like a sister in my cousine after her mother died and she just stayed with us. And i always wished we could be closer and understand each other better. I felt often like i was alone because she couldnt understand that my depression makes me incapable of functioning like a normal person. And at some point I had to face that I longed for something that just wasnt reality.

Watching Suguha and Kirito have this confrontation where both dont really understand each other and finally clash, because they... Wish to be siblings but drifted apart with resentment in their hearts-- Man that hit home.

I mean I KNEW the series had solid writing. And i knew they were building up to it but I guess i didnt expect THIS level of quality. The dialogue was heartfelt and real the exposition through it was absolutely organic, the Voice Actor performance was brilliant-

Damn. Damn I... Gotta sit down.

Wow.

[approximateknowledge]

Do you have recommended reading/watching list for Understanding Kirito? I've only read like the first volume of the manga (*a* manga? It covered all of sword art online (the video game) I think, which seems short? It might have been an abridged (as in shortened, not a parody) version)

ok so, the mangas are adaptations of adaptations lol

you need the books. the light novels. i can point you to the pdfs

because no adaptation does it right, the aincrad arc is a *bunch of short stories* and they're not in chronological order. changing that, while also cutting out all of the internal monologue, ruins the pacing and the characterisation

so, genuinely, the novels

everything else is adaptation that varies between "fine i guess" and "downright insulting"

except the ordinal scale movie that one's an outlier adn should not be counted (like it's actually really good)

[princess-of-the-corner]

So...

Sword Art Online Abridged made me cry.

I was not expecting a web parody to induce that kind of reaction in me.

Honestly it's great when something that is supposed to be just comedy has some gutpunch moments. There's a reason I love reading @swearyshera

[aria-allium]

i have said this before but it bears repeating: the abridged parody of sword art online by something witty entertainment is 100x more compelling plot-wise than the actual anime. i will die on this hill

Top 10 Fictional characters and what dynamics are they?

From least to best liked:

10 - 9S (Nier Automata): Omega

9 - Stiles (Teen Wolf): Omega

8- Rum Tum Tugger (Cats the musical 1998): Alpha

7 - Bruce Wayne (DC universe): Alpha

6- Our!Ciel Phantomhive (Kuroshitsuji): Omega (I know some people make an argument for Alpha and I can kind of see it if I squint. But I just prefer Omega for him).

5 - Azula (Avatar: The Last Airbender): Alpha

4- He Tian (19 days): Alpha

3 - Jin Guanyao (Mo Dao Zu Shi): Beta (I particularly like to write him as an Omega, but if I am being honest he's a Beta for sure).

2 - Kirito (Sword Art Online Abridged): Beta

And no.1 in my heart of hearts iiiiiis:

1 - Dick Grayson (DC universe): Omega

What do you all think? Is it predictable? Is it surprising? Did you guys expect Betas of all people to be two of my top 3? Do you headcanon them to be differnt dynamics yourself?

I also think I got a pretty good mix in media styles. Anime/Donghua, Manhua, Musical, Games, Comics, Drama/Series, Cartoons and even parody.

[huntedbobo]

Sword Art Online Abridged slowly became a deconstruction of itself and anime tropes that plague SAO itself

Yes I’m analyzing a parody comedic retelling of an anime what else you want from me?
