Now let's head off to the Shokugeki no Souma board and make a "Shokugeki no Souma or Gintama" thread. Better yet, "JoJo or Fairy Tail."

Danmachi by far. I'm not saying that Danmachi is that good, but it is nonetheless much better than the trainwreck that was SAO. It also isn't trying to be anything that its not and for what it is it has a much better author from what I have seen yet.

I'll vote none since that option exists.

But if I to compare then the first season of SAO + GGO I found enjoyable, so in that case SAO > this show. HOWEVER, those 2 arcs after GGO are just so horrible, I can't describe it, such cancer-producing BS... full of papa, onii-chan, other cheesy dialouge, stupid melodrama of some random girl who has a terminal illness which just makes it so cringe-worthy, fosucing on the worst character in the show (asuna), forgetting about kirito and forgetting about all other female characters. I mean what the hell am I watching? I'm talking about mother rosaria and that other filler arc. Those ruined the series for me. What a stupid decision from the writer to create those garbage arcs.

SAO is definitely better. It at least had a plot, some established goal and overall a better setting, premise, etc. The characters sadly are almost the same level of quality. I actually don't know from where this persistent comparison to SAO comes from. Aside vague similarities that both have some RPG elements in it, they aren't really comparable, at least not on the level some people are doing.

At least SAO wasn't as serious as some shock value shows that anime fandom praised as good.

Danamachi is better.Tone was correct,and had a refreshing main that wasn't a shinji ikari clone with MUH TRAGIC BACKSTORY.

Finally, it didn't abuse its boob string gimmic

I only like first arc of SOA when they were still trapped in the game. Its gone downhill after that.

I prefer DanMachi more as of now because it has comedy, romance, action, and adventure. SOA is fine but it's just too serious for my preference.

I would say I enjoy the DanMachi anime more. Dunno about the LN's, but the SAO LN's are not all that bad, the anime adaptation is not so on point (or so I've heard from fans).

Compared to the first arc of SAO, I'd have to say SAO. Otherwise DanMachi is winning... I still like SAO but I know it's not the best anime - everything following arc one has been pretty disappointing u___u

They should have ended SAO with 12-13 episode with Asuna dead or Alive in real life

-Please refrain from doing VS thread, as they're NOT allowed on this website. I'm not reporting it because I don't think it's worth the time of the mods, but that's still not allowed.
-Also, doing a VS thread in one of the two series' forum will obviously has that series winning. As a matter of fact, there's 3 times more peoples who voted danmachi. That result was predictable the moment you choose to post it there.
-Last but not least, comparing it again to SAO. I said it before, there is almost no common point between the two shows. Why comparing those two? This doesn't bring anything.

So it's not allowed, doesn't bring anything, and the poll is biased from start to finish. What exactly did you want to accomplish here? BEcause you basically infringed rules for absolutely nothing as I see it.

Both are terrible but Danmachi is worse. While some characters are decent (Welf Lili Hestia Hephastus)

Others are irrelevant and Aiz is pretty much your stoic Mary Sue badassery with no character or personality

Danmachi is average. The show can't balance what it tries to be.. It's also screwing up the source material

The only characters I don't like are Bell and Aiz. Just terrible. I'll at least admit Bell did show progress. Aiz on the other hand is pretty much an empty shell. Have no idea how people like outside of "badazz! Yea!" Bland boring and fanservice. I wouldn't care if she was actually interesting but she's any but

The harem it tries to build needs to stop because it's doing a poor job of it. Freya was cool until she turned into a poor mans Hisoka for whatever reason

SAO dropped the ball after the first half. I tolerate their characters a bit more

Asuna>Aiz

Sinon>Danmachi. Though I still like Hestia/Welf/Lili/Hepha/Syr

^ This. His harem didn't have good enough reasons for why they liked Kirito. At least Bell has qualities and traits that make him likeable, and the girls aren't falling head-over-heels from him in their introductory episodes, or it had been established from the start they liked him and then we get to see why.
