If you like Isekai, sure. It's a native Isekai; one of the first and one of the best. It's a modern masterpiece along with Evangelion and Darling in the Franxx.

it wasn't bad, but it's vastly overrated. The Gungale Online arc in the second season was the best.

Stop after the first cour

I've been hearing this show a lot and have seen this character posted on Yea Forums and thought she was kind of cute, so I figured I would give it a try. Are the games good?

No

that character is from Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online. I haven't watched it, so i can't say much about it.

It's complete shit.

>It's a native Isekai; one of the first and one of the best.
It's not native Isekai. It's normal Isekai.
And while the LN is fairly old, the anime is very recent and there's plenty of older Isekai.

.hack is much older and better (and I don't even like .hack).

I watched season 1 and 2. It's pure trash. It's angry loner man gets a harem of sexy bitches. I have no idea how this shit got popular.

It's decent. I personally like her character, and the cour in general is better than large parts of the main anime.

Watch .Hack//SIGN, Escaflowne or 12 Kingdoms instead

Would it matter in terms of plot continuity if I skipped the main series and went directly to Gun Gale Online?

>.hack
hahahaha

If you undestand that the main draw of SAO was that if people die in the game, they die in real life, then you can skip SAO and go straight to GGO Alternative. I enjoyed it more than mainline SAO which I dropped 4-5 episodes in.

Yeah, I read the general premise of SAO on Wikipedia. I just don't know if there are any references to the main series in GGO or if any characters from the main series appear in GGO.

Only the second half.
If you think it's bad, know that the 1st one is horrendously worse

There are some references that people who watched/read SAO picked up but they're not detrimental to the show.

So should I watch the main series first or just skip to GGO?

I'd say you wouldn't miss too much if you just watched GGO, no. Might want to just give it the old three eps trial anyway, though.

Skip to GGO Alternative

>Are the games good?
yes, if you want crippling depression and coming to realize that the gameverse is miles better than canon in several aspects

Why is the main series not as good as GGO?

>second half > first half
