Well you gotta pay the toll.

Which is a Zimbabwean dollar.

Sword Art Online? That's an anime, not some MMORPG? What exactly is bad about it?

Yes, because I've never heard of it before.

Even though it's been a subject on the forum for months?

Eh, outside Toonami I haven't watched anime except rewatching Cowboy Bebop (still awesome) so I don't venture much into the Anime section here. I also watched half of the Lupin series about Fujiko and haven't got around to watching the other half yet. I plan on checking out Attack on Titan soon though.

The main character is a self-insert Gary Stu and roughly a third of the story revolves around him developing a harem, one member of which is his sister, even after he gets married to another girl.

Said girl tries to present herself as a strong character, but she can't do anything without her man - who her life revolves around - and cries at least once in every episode.

The second story arc is about the protagonist trying to maintain his wife's purity by preventing an evil-for-no-reason villain, who locks her inside a birdcage and has a penchant for drinking her tears, from raping her.

The main character is applauded for torturing this villain to death (virtually, but he can still feel the intense pain in real life, which causes him to go blind in one eye).

The antagonist of the first story arc has literally no motivation and just kills people for fun, and is praised later by the protagonist for "never giving up".

Multiple characters are killed and brought back to life via deus ex machina, including the protagonist, his wife, and their virtual child.

Said virtual child later turns into a six inch tall pocket loli.

At one point random tentacle monsters molest the main character's wife.

There is no character development, only time skips in which the characters change off-screen.

Many events in the story would not have happened if the characters weren't completely stupid.

The author wrote porn of his own characters that explains, in detail, why the MMO avatars have genitals but not pubic hair.

That enough for ya?

Yeesh, everything else explained it just fine, but this puts it over the top.  I'm not sure this will be a hit among Adult Swim's main audience. It could last through its first half, but I don't think it's going to last much longer than that.

Hopefully SAO will follow tradition and follow suit with all the other MMO anime CN has aired. Deathslotted.

It's times like this where I'm glad that Toonami's tumblr has put a hold on answering questions so they focus on actually posting and reblogging stuff relevant to the block's history, as well as promote it. If they were still answering asks regularly, they'd probably be dealing with hundreds of angry asks about their decision here.
