The longest actually(not considering movies).

From what I remember about SAO was that it had terribly obsessed fans going around and spreading the word that the show was coming out and more people should get into. That fan base was cancerous.

But speaking of popularity it's funny how Attack on Titan here has a PV that has nearly reached 2 million views before it airs. That's completely unheard of. SAO's first trailer to this day only has like 400k. This show definitely has the most attention this Spring.

What ended up hurting LB! and SAO in the end was being let downs. If a show can build hype and actually deliver then you could be looking at truly the next big thing. Good example would be along the lines of Fate/Zero and Steins;Gate
