[Cior (Ken-1)] Asunama Soushuuhen II (Sword Art Online) [Digital]

Sword Art Online is NOT a Harem. Sword Art Online is a particularly divisive series in any discussion post, particularly between its fans and its absolutist detractors who take every minor flaw with the series and blow them out of proportion. Some do so out of malice, and some do so out of ignorance of the series, especially the “I don’t have to watch SAO to know it’s bad” types. One of the biggest false statements given as a reason SAO is bad is because “it’s a harem, the only reason for females is harem”. Despite the fact that the major tropes of a harem are not present in the series, and that most of the romantic action is between Kirito and Asuna alone, people see every female character introduced as “ another member of Kirito’s Harem”. So, to set the record straight I want to go by definitions of harem animes and give reasons why SAO doesn’t fit the criteria to be a harem. *ALL POINTS ARE MADE BY BOTH LIGHT NOVEL AND ANIME INFO TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE AND ARE BASED UPON MY IN

@shadowarrow Can't Kazuto (Kirito) have a lot of female friends?
