I actually liked the second arc of SAO more than the first. Just goes to show how much the first arc irritated me from the start. Yes, by second arc we already knew Asuna was going to be boring bait that despite being a great warrior is probably going to play damsel at least once because her character is about as dull as a princess locked in a tower, Kirito is a shitty hero as well. Kay, we already know that... What does the second arc do? Sit on a long plotline of incest that yes, is pretty boring but at least gets us into the life of another character, showing that the author actually is not incapable of progressing side character storylines. Sure, the author has the character development of an NES game in the world of VRMMOs... but still, at least there was some utilization of alternate cast. It even had some side characters that played a good part in the leaders of Cait Sith and the Elves.

All this probably leads to why I actually liked Excalibur and will never deny that Mother's Rosario is actually the only good arc of SAO.
