Each issue is longer than manga and mostly words.

@Meta

Not from what I've seen. What I've seen it looks like a manga entirely.
Plus that's one of the problems, the whole thing came about from it being too long for the competition it was written for, and ideas ran out after that first incarnation. (He admitted this in an interview)

Update: Found out why what I've seen is so manga like, there is a sao manga. So I was right. I knew I knew there was a manga and you made me question myself.

"The series has spawned eight manga adaptations published by ASCII Media Works and Kadokawa. The novels and four of the manga adaptations have been licensed for release in North America by Yen Press."

Light novels are actual books. They have words.

@Meta

"A light novel (ライトノベル raito noberu?) is a style of Japanese novel primarily, but not exclusively, targeting middle- and high-school students (young adult demographic).[1][2] "Light novel" is a wasei-eigo, or a Japanese term formed from words in the English language. Such short, light novels are often called ranobe (ラノベ?)[3] or LN in the West. They are typically not more than 40,000–50,000 words long (the shorter ones being equivalent to a novella in Western publishing terms), are rarely more than a few hundred pages, often have dense publishing schedules, are usually published in bunkobon size (A6, 10.5 cm × 14.8 cm), and are often illustrated,[4] mostly with manga style art. The text is often serialized in anthology magazines before collection in book form."

"and are often illustrated,[4] mostly with manga style art."

The SAO light novels are just shorter manga. Same with Raildex's LNs, though it also has a novel series.
Even Artemis Fowl's LN was just a shorter comic.

They're totally different things.

@Meta

Not really. Manga are just bigger light novels in japan.

Bleach, naruto,one piece, SAO. Fairy tail is pretty much tied with bleach and one piece, though.

@souleaterfan320

Uh... Why is DBS not there?

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

Mobile.

@souleaterfan320

So a dokkan thing or...?

I'd like to state for the record that having diabetes sucks, and moreso if you're afraid of needles. Testing blood sucks.

There is no manga.

@Meta

Light novel, whatever. The only time I differentiate between the two is with Raildex since it has both.

Itso ne of the big current four. An argument with dumb people is going to happen.

@souleaterfan320

Ew. No it's not. There's no way SAO replaced Bleach or Naruto. How are you defining big four?

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Yeah, but SAO is super polarizing for some reason. When I first saw it, it wasn't as popular and didn't have that kind of hate, so it was kind of mystifying when it developed. I think it was hated because it went mainstream when people didn't think it deserved it.

@Nimda

Well for one, it's really similar to .hack, and Log Horizon is the same thing but done better and with a more psychological viewpoint.
Secondly, a LOT of people dislike it because of how much wasted potential it had and how it's like, THE most generic shounen anime of all time. Plus, having the main character be a mary sue and having the best character get shoved away halfway through pissed off a lot of people who were fans until then.
Then there are the people who look at it analytically and wow does it not hold up under scrutiny.
And lastly once people realized that it was just a power fantasy anime, they moved on to better power fantasy anime like To Love Ru or One Piece.

AirPods?

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

Let's get ice cream instead.

@Meta

Already did earlier, actually.

Sooo theres a new mobile SAO game. SAO: Memory Defrag.

@souleaterfan320

Is that the vita one or is it something else?

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Got it this morning; it has good ratings. Interested in the new movie.

@Meta

Is the movie based on the manga or does it actually have the potentially to be decent?

That wasn't a Catholic church; it was literally just The Church. Peter was a leader in it but Catholics consider him the father of the Catholic Church based on their own interpretation, not direct scripture. In fact, the original texts reads that it wasn't upon "Peter the rock" that the Church would be built, but upon the teaching Jesus just gave. The canon was decided mostly because of Constantine's actions.

@Meta

Now I'm confused not because you're necessarily contradicting what I'm saying but because I'm not sure if it is or not. I don't remember hearing it was because of Peter. I thought I remembered it as being a different apostle. Also it's 5 fucking pm and I've not slept in nearly 24 hours so I'mma get back to you on this.

<Snipped quote by DarkwolfX37>

Catholics aren't the originals; they mostly formed when the Church became politicized. It's also not in the Bible anywhere; they're all considered sins, but none of them are particularly peculiar.

@Meta

The church that was founded in the bible upon the rock of a disciple was the catholic church. This is not in debate among people who study theology or the abrahamics specifically. The catholics were the first. You could say "oh well the catholics of the time the bible was written changed and catholics shown in non-religious records aren't the same," but catholicism was the first.
I pointed out it's a deadly sin not for the sake of it's being one of them but because the deadly sins are all considered sins by nearly every sect and branch of christianity there is.
Also keep in mind that unless you're using the king james bible, which books were considered canon and which weren't was determined by the catholics, then slightly reconsidered by the protestants, then jacked over by james' appeasers, then tried to put back to how they were before his shit. So what is and isn't the bible is in large part due to the catholics. If you want to try to invoke the dead sea scrolls or some other such "second source" then it's ENTIRELY due to the catholics because they were the first christians.
