Review Detail

SAO once they leave Aincrad is a pile of hot trash of varying temperatures, and SAO Abridged is unquestionably better than baseline SAO. Watching Abridged on YT is... an endeavor, though, with all of the progressively more-annoying disclaimers, artifacts of the platform and its evolution, and release process in between each episode, and that's why I haven't revisited since it wrapped several years ago. This is definitely the authoritative version of SAO:A's Aincrad arc. (Thanks for removing some of Asuna's cringier racisms. SAO:A started up over a decade ago and it shows.)

Only criticisms are purely about issues the original creators introduced, not the faneditor, so perfect score for this from me.
