Yeah but I'm talking about the general populace. And here's the best part, Sword Art Online became several times more popular before it even finished airing the first arc! How is that possible when the big three(and the other long series) took much longer to become popular(at last on the internet). I mean, SAO is an internet/cultural sensation now. I see it everywhere I go and unlike the other series SAO was popular for the "anime", only later did many people start reading the manga, and light novels. Weirdly it was the badly drawn manga that made me want to watch the anime, oh the irony. Guess that's how a good story is.
